Turn off invitations in calendar

Every time I create or move an appointment in calendar it sends me an invite. How do I turn this off? I have deleted and re-synced it with gmail. I have turned of invitations in both gmail and settings.

Here is what finally worked for me in ios8 (8.1.2)
Settings > Notifications > Calendar > Invitations > Notification Sound > Set *both the alert tone and vibration* to None (they are separate settings.) The view from the Invitations form is a little misleading - the Notification sound will say "None" even if there is a vibration setting other than None.
Not sure when this changed but it was making me a LITTLE CRAZY.

HT203521 In iOS8 I can't turn off shared iCloud calendar alerts. I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and am constantly getting their alarms for upcoming appointments. Settings- Notifications- Calendar- Shared Calendar Changes turns off changes only.

Have had new iPhone 6 for 2 months, using iOS 8. I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and I am getting bombarded with their upcoming appointment alerts. There seems no way to turn this off. I went to Settings->Notifications->INCLUDE(Calendar)->Shared Calendar Changes and turned everything off, but this only blocks alerts about new events or changes to events being added to the calendars, it does not block the 5-minute/10-minute/etc. alarms that go off immediately in advance of the appointment. There used to be a setting in iOS7 in "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" way at the bottom to turn off alarms from shared calendars, but I don't see that in iOS8. Any ideas?

Finally figured this out when I read jodiemcneill 's post about Google calendars. Thanks!
Reposting the basic idea: to turn off event alerts from shared ICloud calendars, select the Calendar App, then click the "info" (i.e., the circled red 'i') icon next to the shared iCloud calendar to be silenced. Go down to "Notifications" and turn the slider off for "Event Alerts: (Allow events on this calendar to display alerts.)"
For good measure, you can also turn off the slider for "Show Changes" to prevent the calendar from displaying messages when shared events are added/modified/deleted, although this can be done "globally" for all shared iCloud Calendars in Settings->Notifications->Calendar->Invitations (turn off all sliders, click "none" for Alert Style).
This has been a major pain in the ... neck ... for the past 3 months. So glad to start the new year with a suddnely-much-quieter iPhone 6.

Turn off location in calendar ios8

Location field in calendar won't turn off in iOS 8. This is an older iPad but don't know which one.
I tried Settings then Privacy then Location Services then Calendar. My setting is Never.
But I still get the map stuff (I use the location field for various notes about the event). When I enter a note, the pin appears and I cannot save my text entry.

I was very annoyed by the huge lists that the Calendar expected me to select from when typing into the Location field for a new event. After doing the following, the list was limited to locations that I had typed in previously elsewhere in the calendar, and if I wanted to type in a new location or short note it was easy to do.
Settings > General > Spotlight Search - Deselect Spotlight suggestions; deselect Bing search results
If you have Location Services set to On, which I didn't, it might perhaps be necessary to go to Settings > Privacy > location Services > System services > and turn of Spotlight Suggestions. I do not know what else either of these changes will affect, but the first one resolved the issue I was having with entering locations into a calendar event.

Turn off suggestions in calendar

I tried to create an event called "Walk today" and the automated suggestions won't let me use the word today. It lets me say "this am" without suggesting anything, so apparently it's smart enough to think "today" is unnecessary, but not smart enough to also disallow "this am".
I erroneously posted this complaint against mail, not calendar. I long ago turned off text replacement in mail, I hope there's some way to do the same in calendar, but I can't find it. If you know where it is, I would really appreciate your telling me. Next step is to offer apple my feedback.
Thanks.

Turning off iCal subscribed calendars on iPhone

I have a number of calendars that I subscribe to in iCal on my computer. These are calendars I choose to leave turned off in iCal - and simply turn them on if I need to know the details - for example appointments being made by staff etc.
I note since Snow Leopard and/or 3.1 on my iPhone that these calendars are being pushed to my iPhone. I am having difficulty working out how to turn them off on the iPhone. It makes it near impossible to view my own calendars easily.
Is there a way of choosing which calendars you want 'pushed' to your iPhone? Or can you turn certain calendars on or off? I know I can select one calendar at a time on the phone - but that's not sufficient.
Thanks.

I have a similar problem.
One of my calendars that's subscribed to on iCal continually wants a user name and password. I type then in correctly, but it doesn't work ultimately. So i just want it off. I cannot, however, figure out how to.

How turn off suggestions in Calendar?

When I enter a new event in Calendar, the app enters an array of suggested addresses. How can I turn that 'feature' OFF?

Turning off alarm for calendar entries

When I enter a calendar event on my new Palm Centro, it puts in an alarm to ring 5 minutes prior to the event by default. I have gone into every preference tab I can find but cannot find a way to turn this off without doing it for each event. Is it possible to reset this?
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

You can uncheck having an alarm or even change the alarm presets by pressing the menu button in calendar, then go to options, then preferences.

How do I turn off calendar invites for my colleagues?

I have my four main colleagues' google calendars (and my own google calendar) in my Calendar app in OSX Mavericks. Whenever anyone sends all four of us an invite to a meeting, I get four badge counts and alerts for the four calendar accounts that I have set up to view. Is there a way to stop this and only get alerts for a primary google calendar in the mac calendar app?

Also, is it possible to turn off invites altogether. When I make an appt. with a colleague in my Contacts, I'd rather never send invites out to these events in the Calendar. Anyone have a tip for me?

Can't turn off calendar notifications on shared calendar

Hello,
Since Yosemite I can't turn off calendar notifications on shared calendar.
The notifications are turned off on calendar.
The notification are turn off on the Google calendar settings.
Am I missing something?
Best,
g.

Hi gregorytrow,
There's a shared calendar messages preference in Calendar preferences you may want to change.
Calendar: If you’re not receiving alerts
Choose Calendar > Preferences, click Alerts, and then deselect the “Turn off shared calendar messages in Notification Center” and “Turn off invitation messages in Notification Center” checkboxes.
Take care,
Nubz

How do you turn off birthdays in notification center?

When I synced Facebook and my contacts, every single one of my friends birthdays were synced with my calendar. I turned off the birthday calendar in the app but they continue to spam my notification center EVERY DAY. Does anyone know how to stop this? If not could we request an update that let's us?

unfortunatly, you can't.
In iOS 6 (or in iOS 5 for matter of fact), birthdays are pulled DIRECTLY from your contacts app and then displayed in notification center, and not through the calendar app. So doing anything from Calendar app won't do anything.
The only solution, sadly, at this point, is to disable contact integration with Facebook if you have issues. Currently, there is no proper fix for this, and I'm afraid we won't be seeing any fix for while....

What will happen to my mac if I turn off icloud

I thought I could sync my mini and laptop using icloud only to find my laptop was too old after setting up my icloud account. Now, I find if I turn if off it says documents, contents, etc will be deleted from my mac mini. Is that true? How do I turn if off and keep my stuff. I don't have iphone or ipad and don't need icloud.
thanks

What is the exact wording of the message?
Why not just leave it on on the one Mac? That way you can access some items by going to icloud.com and signing in.
This:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
just says:
If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess

[iOS 8] How to turn off vibrate notifications on new calendar invitations?

I don't want any notification when I receive a new calendar invitation via Exchange. I had no problems disabling this in iOS 7 and earlier, but with iOS 8 I can't seem to turn off the vibrate notification. In Settings...Notifications...Calendar...Invitations, I've turned off everything there. Notification Sound is set to None, and Vibration is also set to None.
Yet whenever I receive a new calendar invitation, my phone does a short vibrate. No alert shows up on the screen, just a short vibrate.
How do I silence this thing?
Using iOS 8, iPhone 5S 64GB.

Here is what finally worked for me in ios8 (8.1.2)
Settings > Notifications > Calendar > Invitations > Notification Sound > Set *both the alert tone and vibration* to None (they are separate settings.) The view from the Invitations form is a little misleading - the Notification sound will say "None" even if there is a vibration setting other than None.

How to turn off gmail calendar reminders in iOS7?

How do I turn off reminders in one MS Outlook Calendar, but not the other?

I have my calendar and I also have a calendar (lets call it Shared Calendar) in which I copied all of my team's calendars into. I want to keep the Reminder alert on my calendar and turn off the Reminder alerts on the Shared Calendar. How can I do
this?

Hi,
Yes , like Rajitha said , the reminder comes from organizer. Unless the organizer uncheck Reminder in OWA or Outlook (File—Calendar—uncheck Default Reminder/change the reminder value to None
directly when create an meeting) when we arrange the meeting.
But if we do like this, all the user who be invited will lost the reminder.
We can dismiss the reminder, or single click an meeting in Calendar and then change the reminder value to “None” for single meeting
as workaround.
