Synching Invites Via MobileMe

All of my synching of iCal is via MobileMe. Four devices are involved: iMac, MacBook Air, iPad and iPhone 4. Most items synch across all devices flawlessly. However, since the 4.0.2 and 3..2.2 updates for the two "i" devices, there is a problem.
Specifically, if I receive an iCal invite via email, it will add to iCal on the iMac just fine. Shortly, it will appear on the Air. BUT it will not show up EVER on the iPhone or the iPad. Any events that I originate on any of the four devices synch fine without any problem or delay. Anyone else have this problem or a possible solution?? (P.S. I have not updated to the "new" MobileMe.)

Hi Darryl,
Reset the iPad, then try syncing.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't help, Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Try syncing.

Access to Time Capsule Disk via MobileMe Web

I would like to see my Time Capsule Disk appear in my MobileMe account when I'm logged into it via Safari, similar to the way my MobileMe iDisk shows up on my MobileMe login via a browser. Is this possible?

no. You won't be able to access it via mobileme website. although using mobileme login details, you will see it as a drive in your finder window if you set it up right.

not sure of the details yet.. am trying to do same thing.

Platform is iMac OS X 10.8.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3, signed in to iCloud and selected Photo Stream. Got an invite via email to subscribe to a Photo Stream and when I click on Subscribe to this Photostream, it tells me that I need specs that I already have.

Thanks for responding. When I open the email and click on Subscribe to this Photo Stream, this is the message I get:
To subscribe to Pamela Mccormack’s “Baltimore Zoo” photo stream on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, open your invitation in the Mail app, and click the Subscribe button in the message.
To subscribe you need to be signed in to iCloud on:
an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6 or later, or
a Mac with OS X 10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
So I have Mac OS X 10.8.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3 installed.

ICal server and external invitations via 3rd party mail server

Hi everyone,
OS 10.6.5 Server:
Services running
AFP
DNS
iCal
Open Directory
Push Notification
We are currently testing iCal server and have configured it to send out invites via our mail server (which is running on a different server) by creating the com.apple.calendarserver user on our mail server.
Email notifications are then configured under the Enable Email Invitations tab in the iCal service of Server Admin as follows:
IMAP
Email address: [email protected]
Incoming server: mail.mytest.com
Port: 143 (not using SSL)
Username: com.apple.calendarserver
Password: secret
SMTP: mail.mytest.com
Port: 25 (not using SSL)
Server requires authentication
Username: com.apple.calendarserver
Password: secret
My test OD users are able to send out invites both internally to other iCal users and externally via email.
So for example, I invite someone to a meeting and enter their gmail address ([email protected]), the invitation goes out correctly - when I log into gmail I see the invitation.
When responding to the invitation (clicking Yes), the mail server receives the response from gmail and the iCal server collects the message via IMAP.
However, the iCal server doesn't seem to parse the received email correctly as I get the following error in the iCal error logs:
[twistedcaldav.extensions#info] Cannot authenticate proxy user 'com.apple.calendarserver' without X-Authorize-As header

I have set a rule on our mail server to bypass any spam filtering for all messages sent to the [email protected] address, but this doesn't seem to make any difference.
Does anyone else have this working ? Any ideas ?
Many thanks

The issue is not "user authorization". The issue is that the 3rd-party service does not accept all incoming relay requests unless there is authentication with a registered account (which we have). This protects the 3rd-party service from becoming the relaying host for the universe's spoofed and anonymous spam. My deduction is that there is no mechanism in UTL_MAIL to designate not only the 3rd-party ip-address:port (by-passing the local sendmail server) but also providing the username:password for the account there for authentication.
Plan A: I have attempted to follow directions for client-side SMTP Authentication for Relaying on the sendmail.org site.
I have not been successful in completing a simple mailx interactive test, much less completing a UTL_MAIL configuration.
I am scouring the user universe for someone who has put all the pieces together successfully and can advise. . . .
Edited by: StevenInTallyFl on Mar 26, 2010 3:50 PM
to clarify that I cannot get from UTL_MAIL to 3rd-party IP directly

Levi G B ... Also found another thread by Davidfromsurfside on 10/14/11 0703A with the same problem. I responded on his thread "I have the same problem. IOS5 on iPad1, iPad2 and iPhone4S all with iCloud on. Lion 10.7.2 installed on my MacBookPro and iCloud set up/on. Any new iCal entry on either iPad or on the iPhone ends up via iCloud on both iPads and iPhone. BUT NOT ON THE MacBookPro. And iCal entry on the MacBookPro does NOT GET SENT to iCloud.com or to either iPad or the iPhone. This is a huge problem for me because I do all my office scheduling on the iPad or iPhone but rely on the MakeBookPro to print out daily client lists. I REALLY need to get this fixed...it is causing major business issues. " No one so far has had a fix.... :(

ICal error message "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden" but still syncing via mobileme.

here is the screenshot ......http://gallery.me.com/joyseeker/100217/Screen-20shot-202010-07-15-20at-2011-59-4 5/web.jpg?ver=12791918490001
My problem must have started last week when I did a restore on the iPhone to see if its speed would improve. I noticed this week events added to the iPhone calendar were not updating the Mac and vica versa via Mobileme.
I realised then I had to switch on Mobileme syncing on the iPhone. Bingo syncing works again but now I get this popup error message regularly.
What am I not doing or enabling kind sirs?

I get the same error, when I am importing a calendar into MobileMe (via CalDAV) with items that have alarms more than 7 days out. The calendar I am trying to import is 37 MB in size and goes back to 1999 (it started life on a Palm III).
My solution, which is very time consuming, when this error occurs is to
1. change the alarm lead time to less than seven days,
2. re-export the calendar to an ICS file,
3. disconnect iCal from MobileMe (Preferences->Accounts->"-"),
4. delete the old destination calendar on www.me.com,
5. create a new, empty calendar on www.me.com,
6. reconnect to the MobileMe calendar in iCal (Preferences->Accounts->"+"), and
7. import the ICS file into the empty MobileMe calendar.
It's a real pain! I really do wish, Apple would fix the issue very soon. During a chat with a MobileMe support agent I was informed that Apple was working on the CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation, although she didn't offer any details and didn't appear to be aware of a connection with the length of alarm lead times.

How do I invite via text from icalendar grom my iphone to another phone listed in my contacts??

If you want your husband to receive an iMessage, you must send it to him as an iMessage yourself. Just go into the Messages app and send it to your husband's Apple ID. All e-mails (except me.com, as it is part of iCloud/iMessages) don't actually work with Messages.
Alternatively, you could download free, wi-fi based messenger apps on your iDevices. Popular ones include WhatsApp, but there should be more that suit your preferences.

What happens when someone forwards photostream invite via email

What happens when someone forwards photostream invite via Email.
I would ultimately like to send directly to parents of my kid's sport team - however the manager says the distro changes alot and it would be best if I send her the invite and she forwards off.
I'm sure there are a mix of IOS and Android users but I'd like the IOS users to benefit from having it in their iPhoto programs, and the others can opt to go to the URL provided in the invite. Are there any issues with the manager forwarding the Photostream invite? Any experiences to share when sharing photos taken at a game?
Thank you in advance.

You will need to create a Public Photo Stream since many of the parents will be on PCs. Here's how:
With that scenario the email will look like this:
The link at the bottom will take the user to the website. Or you could go to the website yourself, copy its URL and incliude that in an email to the manager for forwarding on.

Can't send calendar invites with mobileme sync ?

Hi,
I have an iPhone with OS 3.0, I'm using MobileMe to sync Calendars and Contacts with my Mac over the air and it's working well.
One of the new features for OS 3.0 for MS Exchange was to be the ability to send calendar invites from the phone - something not possible in 2.0.
However unless I'm mistaken it is still impossible to send calendar invites with MobileMe directly from the phone ?
If I then go into iCal on the Mac and add invitees to the event that was created on the Phone, iCal can send invites, and when I check back on the phone it now shows the invitees and whether they have accepted or not, but now the Edit button is gone for this calendar entry making further edits from the phone impossible, including even deleting the event.
Huh ?
It seems crazy that the phone is able to display the invite status but can't edit it, especially if that feature is now available with Exchange. Or have I missed something ?
Regards,
Simon

Hmm,
Well you can accept calendar invites on the iPhone since 2.0 if you're using Exchange, but 3.0 added the ability send calendar invites from the phone with Exchange.
If you can't send or receive calendar invites by MobileMe it kind of puts a lie to the "MobileMe is exchange for the masses" comment from the keynote speeches doesn't it Maybe in 3.1 we'll see it, and maybe in 3.1 we'll be able to Sync Notes by MobileMe as well cough.
Regards,
Simon

Cannot Locate 3G via MobileMe with OS4

iPhone 3G with OS4 just donwloaded. Seeing a considerable slowing of responses, especially via the keyboard.
* HUGE PROBLEM *
The LOCATION FUNCTION via MobileMe, for some reason, cannot come close to locating my 3G any more. I have other iPhone(s) in the family and even an iPad and all are just fine when located via MobileMe from my Mac (very accurate). The 3G with OS4 is off by 10 miles or more. This NEVER HAPPENED before! Huge flaw... Apple needs to fix this ASAP or I want to go back to old OS! Before the upgrade, I could get within a few houses of locating the 3G. Now I am in a different CITY... I rebooted, etc. No change.

Hi; you may be correct. Not sure of the details. However, bottom line is it worked 100% prior to OS 4. Now the whole "Find My iPhone" process fails ONLY for the 3G w/ OS 4.
Can still find iPad, 3GS w/ OS 3, and a different 3G w/ OS 3. It's just the 3G w/ OS 4 with the problem. I think I will hold off on upgrading other devices a while...

Accessing Time Capsule via MobileMe

Just bought the newest version of Time Capsule. Can't figure out how to access it via MobileMe. I went into the capsule settings in airport utility and put in my password for mobileme login info. Also, back to my mac is turned on. Still, I don't see my time capsule in MobileMe.
Am I missing something?

Are you trying to find it by visiting the MobileMe web site? It won't show up there.
This feature simply makes it show up in your Finder's sidebar under Shared when you are remote.

Force CalDAV calendar in iCal to send meeting invites via Mail

A handful of people are experiencing issues sending out meeting invite emails via a Google Apps (CalDAV) calendar that is setup in iCal. Meetings are showing up on invitees calendars, but they are not receiving email notifications about them.
Thread on that topic here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=368ec40a6bdd7bb8&hl=en
and here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2707217&tstart=0
*So, my question is this*: Is there a way to force Mail.app to send out a meeting invitation of a CalDAV calendar that is setup in iCal, instead of using whatever system the CalDAV calendar uses (in my specific case, Google Apps). My assumption is that iCal uses the Mail.applescript or Mail.scpt file that is inside the iCal package (iCal > Show Package Contents > Resources > Mail.applescript) when sending out an invite from a local calendar. Any way to force a CalDAV calendar to use that script?

I had that problem too.
I changed my mail preferences "Add invitations to iCal" from Automatically to Never and that seems to work for me.
Hope that helps

Can I choose which subscribed calendars are synced via MobileMe?

So the recent update synced all of my subscribed calendars to my phone. I don't necessarily want to do this because I subscribed to every employee's calendar in my office as well as my wife's calendar. Ideally, I'd like to ONLY subscribe to my wife's calendar.
Is there a way around this? Do I have to turn of Calendary syncing all together? If I do that, will my personal calendars no longer sync unless I plug the phone in? Doesn't that suck? Is there a new update coming? Have I asked too many questions?
Thanks!

I took advantage of the MobileMe chat support to ask this question a few weeks ago, and they said no go--via MM, it's all subscribed calendars or nothing. It used to be that MM did not support subscribed calendars at all (I think)--an update added this feature but gave us no control over it.
The chat agent might have suggested that selective syncing would be part of the next MM update, but I failed to pay much attention to that part, or to follow up, sorry.
I think this is part of why I'm an update or so behind. Also, I installed Mozilla's Sunbird as a calendar application, and subscribed to calendars in that. Which lets me check them when I want to, but keeps them out of the syncing loop. Moving employee calendars there might be an option.
It's possible this program might help, not sure, but it seems to be recommended for a number of calendar issues:

Problem viewing albums on AppleTV via MobileMe/Aperture

Hopefully this forum will work for me...
Anyone else having issues with Aperture images published to MobileMe that don't show up on AppleTV? Or at least gives you trouble on AppleTV?
First of all the MobileMe albums don't show up UNLESS I publish an image via iPhoto. It's like iPhoto "pushes" the Aperture images through. When I publish one photo via iPhoto, my Aperture/MobileMe albums show up. Un-publish the iPhoto image and the Aperture albums disappear from AppleTV.
THEN..... when I get the Aperture/MobileMe albums to show up (because I published one from iPhoto), AppleTV won't allow me to view them because it keeps telling me the login-in formation is incorrect--but it's not. I have the albums protected and locked on MobileMe and that's why I have to enter it on AppleTV. Whatever, I cannot view my MobileMe albums on AppleTV at all, no matter what I do. I will also post to the other forums, but I wanted to see if anyone here is familiar with this issue.
I hope this makes sense. Any help, anyone?

Only publicly available albums are shown on the AppleTV with any Mobileme account you add to it. If you don't have any publicly available, you won't even be able to add the account. That's why it's telling you the login information is incorrect. Apple should change the error message to be more accurate but it doesn't matter because you wouldn't be able to see anything anyway.

Sharing photos via MobileMe Gallery - what alternative?

I have been sharing photos with my soon to be 80 years old mother via my MobileMe gallery, all I had to do was send her the link, while all she had to do was subscribe to my gallery in order to have the images download to iPhoto. This was easy and straightforward for her.
How should I handle this task after the discontinuation of MobileMe? PhotoStream doesn't seem to be designed for this task, and I don't want her to have to jump through too many hoops, since she still uses her computer on a beginner's level.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Dropbox?
