TS4002 Issues receiving calendar invites via iCloud

My girlfriend used to send me calendar invites through iCloud (@me.com of @icloud.com). But it seems that ever since I updated to iOS 6 I can't send or receive calendar invites anymore. I have tried everything and can't get it to work.
Can anyone hp me out???

You are not missing anything, you are referring to integration of Apple product - icloud and Microsoft product - exchange. They do not integrate, were never intended to do so by either of the companies - as far as I know.

IOS sends Calendar invites via icloud to known icloud users

I am having a lot of difficulty with our company phones and tablets with regard to calendar invites. Users are complaining that they are not getting calendar invites from other users, and when they do they don't end up on their exchange calendar. I believe this is the issue:
1. iPhone user creates a calendar invitation to their default calendar (which is an exchange calendar) via their iOS device
2. The email addresses they specifiy match with Apple somehow as account email with iCloud
3. The invitation is sent via iCloud somehow to users that Apple has matched as having an email matching their iCloud account calendar email
This presents multiple problems: If a user isn't subscribed to their iCloud calendar on one of their devices (say it's on for a tablet and not their phone) they will never receive the invitation. More of a problem is that when the calendar invite is sent (by apple's servers apparently) in that manner, it will come into their iOS device on their device's consolidated calendar (calendar overlay of numerous calendars) but can never of course be sync'd to their exchange calendar which is used on their desktop/laptop.
I'm hoping I'm missing something here as it's a disaster in a corporate environment; it isn't an issue where they can simply use an alternate email address to send the invitation as the majority of users have configured icloud (specifically for icloud backup ONLY, they don't give a darn about the iCloud calendar) with their company email addresses. This results in calendar invites that are accepted from a user's iOS device from never showing up on their exchange calendar.
The preference would be to either be able to configure a device never to send invitation in that way, OR to configure a receiving device to only accept emailed calendar invitations/configure iCloud not to match and send invites to their iCloud calendar but instead to always deliver to the associated email address. I'm not sure if this is solvable, I've got to believe with how widely deployed iOS is and the fact that for companies of any size Microsoft Exchange is the de facto standard...there must be a workaround.
Suggestions?

I don't receive calendar invites from google calendar on iphone

I use ical on my macbook as well as on my iphone. I have them both logged into the same apple account. When I receive an invite from someone using google calendars I receive this invite via email as well as a notification on the macbook ical. I don't receive this on the iphone ical. Even if I accept and it is showing up as an event on my macbook ical, it still does not show up on the iphone ical. This is when it is sent to a specific email address which is not my primary icloud email address, but it is listed as one of the email addresses for my icloud account. Any suggestions?

I should note that this is happening when someone sends me an invite from google calendar to a yahoo business hosted email account.

Can't receive Calendar invites (.mac or .me)

Recently, I have been unable to receive Calendar invitations at my .mac email address. Oddly, if I am invited at my .icloud address (which nobody I know knows about) I do receive the invitation. Also, if I send an invitation from Calendar to my wife's .me address, she receives it. However, if she tries to send an invite to my .me address, like my .mac address, Calendar indicates no reply or unable to send. It used to work quite well, but has become squirly, and now that only my .icloud address seems to work in Calendar, an address that nobody knows, the system has become unusable. Any ideas?

I do experience the same issue, but I would say that it is not all...
When my friends (iCloud users too) send me invites on mac.com (I told them to do so in order to make it work), and I accept these, they never receive the answers since my mail address is [email protected] and not the one they sent invites to.... that is unbelievable ! I can not use invites with other iCloud users ! Please Apple fix it as soon as possible !

Receiving calendar invites from gmail, possible?

I am attempting to receive calendar invites from my girlfriends HTC to my iPhone calendar.
She sends an invitation from her calendar app (which runs in google calendars) and sends that invite to my apple ID (which also happens to be a gmail address).
I receive an email which I can manually input into my calendar but I get no 'invite' as such. No invitation is shown when I click the button in the calendar app on my iPhone.
I'm just curious if it is possible?
I have successfully sent invites the other way around. My girlfriend received an email which allows her to accept through iCloud and then the entry shows up automatically both on her phone and on google calendars. To be able to do it the other way would be awesome.

Hi there,
There seems to be two parts to your problem:
1. Receiving the invitations through email rather than through the app's inbox.
2. Not being able to reply to the invite through email.
Regarding 2: does the event show up on your google calendar when you accept it? You can check that by logging into your gmail account in a web browser and looking at your calendar web-app.
If it does, then make sure, in your phones calendar/mail settings, that you gmail address is set to sync it's calendar to your phone.
If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I don't know more about that.
Regarding 1: What I might be able to help you with though is getting those invites to you Calendar app on your phne. Countless people have had this problem and still have it. This solution worked for me, it might work for you. If that doesn't work for you, I suggest you browse the forums here and at macrumors for more help.
SOLUTION:
1. Log in to you Google account ON A DESKTOP COMPUTER (I tried on mobile and it didn't work for me).
2. Access your google calendar. One way is through the "9 squares" icon on the top right of your browser.
3. On the middle-left portion of your screen, you will see your various calendars listed (e.g. Personal calendar, contacts birthdays, holidays, etc.). The top one should be your primary calendar, and immediately to the left of it is a downward pointing arrow. Click on it to reveal an options menu.
4. In that options menu, choose "Settings".
5. In the settings menu, at the top, there is a navigation menu. Click on "Notifications".
6. Inside the notification menu, there are a number of options for Email and SMS alerts. DISABLE ALL NOTIFICATIONS.
7. Don't forget to save the changes.
For me that did the trick. I assume that when a new invite is being processed through iCloud, it first checks with the email address if there are notifications settings enabled, and if so let's it handle the invite. Which could actually be the desired behaviour, although it should be more obvious. Either that or Google Calendar somehow hijacks the process.
Anyway it seems that when there as no notification setup with Google, the invite god through to the Calendar Inbox as usual.
This problem was a thorn for me, so I hope that fixes it for you as well!

How can I receive Apple alert via iCloud mail system?

Currently my login ID is the same as my Gmail address.
So, my Apple alert (that lets me know about my account info change or new login) comes to my Gmail inbox.
However, I want to receive these stuff via iCloud mail so that I can collect my Apple alert in my iCloud mailbox.
How can I do this?
I'm now using my iCloud mail address with my account of which name is my Gmail address.
Or, if possible, I want to use only my iCloud mail address as my main ID and totally get rid of my Gmail address from my Apple account.
Plz give me a tip.
Have a nice day.

If you don't know your ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If you don’t know your password you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

TS3999 My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

On you phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and make sure you have selected a calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default. If not, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
If your settings are already correct, or if after changing them it still isn't syncing properly, make sure all the calendar events on your phone are in your iCloud calendar. If not, enter any missing events either on your iPad, or on icloud.com from your computer. Then, after your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn Calendars to Off. When prompted, choose Delete from My iPhone. After a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendar back to your phone. Then try adding a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.

How do I stop receiving calendar invites on iCal/iCloud and use exchange 2013 calendar instead?

I Have an exchange 2013 email account which isn't registered as part of my iCloud account.
i Use my outlook calendar (exch) for work and the same exch calendar day to day from all my iOS devices.
when a colleague or outside email away from my company sends me a calendar meeting request, it works fine. (Using my exch email as the invite recipient).
my girlfriend sends me a meeting request from her hotmail account using the same exch email address for me, but he. Invites always arrive to my iCloud/iCal calendar instead! I can't seem to change it so I often miss diary notes or reminders unless I constantly look at both calendars.
i Just want to use exchange calendar and lose iCal (or if easier sync both iCal and exchange calendars vica versa - but that may be over complicating the issue, basically I just need one calendar and would rather it be my outlook exchange cal)
any ideas?

Hello again,
False alarm..... it didnt work sorry.
I removed the iCal accounts from my mac, and also from my iphone. Then when my partner sent me a calendar invite it simply didnt arrive at all!
She has a hotmail account installed on her IOS iphone 5.
She is sending the invite to my exch 2013 email address which is not associated with any icloud account.
My exch 2013 email is installed in both my Outlook for mac 2011 and IOS device Iphone 5s.
When I switch the iCloud Calendar back on in my iphone 5s, the invite comes through but ONLY optional to the icloud calendar. I cannot seem to get it receiving on my default calendar which is set to Exchange 2013 account.
Its very strange as its only her invites that do this. Anyone else's come through on my exchange calendar because its the same email address receeving it my end.

Issues with calendar invites from Outlook address that come to my gmail on iPhone

I have been trying for HOURS to get to the bottom of this iPhone calendar invite problem I'm having. I'll try to summarize.
I LOVE iCal and I want to continue using it. Though I have a personal mid-2010 Macbook Pro, I don't use it too much (my company functions solely on Windows). I almost exclusively use my iPhone 4S for calendar purposes. Yes, my calendar is synced up to iCloud. I have a gmail account as my primary apple ID and my mail account on the iPhone is synced with gmail. I've been very annoyed lately as I have been receiving a lot of calendar invites from a friend who has Outlook, and I cannot accept or decline when I received her invite. The events are added to my calendar, grayed out.
After much research, I realized that I had to setup my gmail account as an Exchange account on my iPhone, which I did. I then sent myself a test invite from Lotus Notes, and low and behold, I can now accept and decline!
..but I am VERY particular about my calendar organization, and I want to be able to choose which calendar the event is added to; however, it is added to my exchange (gmail) calendar, I guess because it was received on the gmail server. I want my calendar invites to be received on my ios device calendar! I don't know if having people use my .me account would help, but I don't want to tell everyone to change the email address to which they send me notifications, because I want to continue to receive mail at my gmail account (like the many calendars, I have many folders there and have everything set up the way I want it).
I get emails concerning work, events, tennis matches, etc via my gmail account, and I want to sort them to the correct calendar when the invite comes to my gmail while STILL maintaining the functionality to accept and decline invites.
Is this a crazy question?

I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work. So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.

Delegating Calendar Invites to iCloud

I have an iCloud account, but it is not the email address I declare to the outside world. I also have a Fastmail email, but again I don't declare this email address to the outside world. They are for function only. The email address that I do send & receive from is an ozemail address that's routed through Fastmail and arrives in Mail on my MacBook. My problem is that when my business colleagues send me a meeting invitation it is always to my ozemail address (because that's the only one they know) but I never receive the invite in Mail.
I've tested sending an invite straight to my Fastmail email address and that works fine. It arrives in my Mail, and I accept it by clicking on the attachment & it drops into Calendar on my MacBook. But as per above, Fastmail is not the email address I declare to my contacts so this doesn't help. Does anyone have any wise advice on how I can receive invites to my ozemail address (via Fastmail) so they arrive in Mail on my MacBook and I can accept them into my iCloud calendar?
Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
OXS 10.9.4
Mail ver 7.3
Calendar ver 7.0

Further to this I have now found that I cannot log in to apple id site with my @me appleid. Saying unknown error, cant be a coincidence.

Issue with Calendar Invites after changing a user's name

Hey all,
Strange issue we are having (Exchange 2007). One of the employees got married and had a name change. I changed the name in AD Users & Computers, updated the mailbox, etc. Now, when someone invites her via an Outlook Calendar Invite, she gets a "Cannot
Download Attachment" error on her iPhone. This isn't happening to anyone else and only started happening after the name change.
Was there something else I may have missed? I made sure that the person who was inviting her wasn't seeing the old address in her address book because of caching, so that doesn't appear to be the issue.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
The error description is related to attachment. Please confirm whether there is an attachment in the meeting request to the problematic user. Try to receive the meeting request in OWA to check whether the issue occurs. Maybe the issue is caused by large
attachments download using mobile.
Thanks,

Calendar invitation via email disappear?

Calendar invitation received via email just disappear without getting into the calendar?
- How can I change so they will stay in the inbox after I answered the invitation?
- Can I delete an invitation in the calendar without sending any information back to the person that invited me?

Actually, the recently released Comms Suite Update 5 (7.0.5.0.0) now has iMIP/iTIP support in Convergence 3 which allows users to accept or decline calendar invitations through email.

Receiving calendar invites?

When someone sends me a calendar invite I get an email with the event attachment on it. Is there a way to make all invites appear in the iphone calendar inbox instead? As currently my calendar inbox is redundant, this currently means I get no notifications of invites, they just sit in my gmail inbox with all the other rubbish I get sent.
Thanks

I am also having this issue. Even if I send to my @icloud.com apple id it goes to mail inbox as attachment not calendar inbox. Already enabled calendar and new invitation alerts...it did not repair the situation.
It would be great to not have to "click" three times to get a calendar invite on my calendar especially since Apple seemed to have gone through the trouble of building a calendar inbox feature.
click to open mail app
click to open email
click to open ics attachment
click to add to calendar
click to confirm which calendar
presumeably calendar inbox would eliminate the 2nd and 3rd click.

Anyone know whats happening or how to resolve?

The calendar will remain on the server and should be restored when you add back the account. Regardless of that, you can back up a calendar by exporting it:
