Unable to edit iCal invitations

I would like to be able to edit iCal entries that are created as a result of accepting meeting invitations (.ics files). If I try to move a meeting to which I have been invited, I get the message "you were invited to this event - only the organiser can change this event". For example, moving a meeting in iCal can be a necessary operation if there has been a conflict with time zones.
I would also like to be able to add notes, links etc to an iCal entry. Again, this does not seem to be possible if the iCal entry has been created as a result of accepting a meeting invitation.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

I am having the same problem: not being able to edit received invitations. In fact, I send from my work PC (outlook 2003) an invite to my mac email so I can easily add it to my work iCal (ideally I would create them in Outlook and synch to iCal but I don't know how or if I can). I figured out (thanks to this group) that the invites will automatically go to the first iCal and I can accept or decline (decline will delete the entry from mine). But I cannot find a way to edit and since I control both calendars I wasnt to be able to add what I want when I want. I hope someone finds a way to do this.
Thanks, AndyB, NH.

Unable to edit ical using ios7

Since downloading ios7, I'm completely unable to edit any event already typed into ical. Under the last system, I could tap the event and get an edit button. Now nothing happens. I can't delete or edit anything. Any ideas? Anyone else with this problem? I'm using the lastest ios7.9.3.

Hello MJChama,
Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with the Calendar app after upgrading to iOS 7. You should have the ability to edit calendar events you created, and I have a few steps I recommend to troubleshoot this issue.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the Calendar app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

Unable to see ical invitation replies

Our household uses multiple Apple devices that are linked to my credit card for payment with ITunes, ICloud extra storage etc. Our family typically sends invitations to one another from iCal to our respective iCloud addresses. This entire process worked flawlessly until mid October when my wife, daughter, sons, etc. received invitations from me and replied. Their devices are showing they replied, but my iCal shows them as not replying and leaves the appointment grayed out in iCal. What is peculiar is that that there appears to by no rhyme or reason why this happens, but it was not long after we upgraded all of our machines to Mavericks.
Thank you.

An error in my posting: I do not see my appointments.

Ical invites not being sent from MacBook Pro but are being sent from iphone

Hoping someone can please help me! I am suddenly unable to send iCal invites from my laptop. They look like they send, but nobody receives them and also the events don't show on my iPhone and iPad2. If I add the event on my iPhone, I do see it on my laptop. I recently did a system update and I wonder if that is the cause. Any help you can give me would be so appreciated. Thanks.

I am having this problem as well. Specifically, when I create a new calendar meeting I am able to add users to the invitation and when I save the invite it gets sent. I have also modified an existing calendar event that has other people invited, and when I exit editing the meeting a pop up window specifically asks if I want to save my changes "and send it to the other invited participants" or something like that.
I click yes.
In both cases (the original creation and invitation, and the modification and send update to attendees) nothing is received by the other recipients. Not a calendar event or invitation, not an email with a .ics attachment or similar, or not even an email notification.
Thus, I set up an event in my calendar, invite others, and no one is aware that the event was set up.
Is there any way around this? I don't think I'm doing anything wrong as the process of creating an event, inviting someone, and sending out the invitation seems pretty straight forward. It just isn't working.

Accepting a ical invitation on ipad

How do we accept an ical invitation on ipad from iphone or Macbook or Mac desck top
I get this message ''Safari can't open this document''

I would love a solution, too. This issue came up as soon as I updated to the mobileme beta in october. First, all my "on my mac" calendars were deleted with years of needed historical data. Luckily I restored them via Time Machine backup. Then I talked in depth to multiple levels of AppleCare support and they were beyond perplexed. Any calendar invites I receive into iCal will automatically go into the first "on my mac" calendar, and cannot be moved to the mobileme calendars. The only bad solution is to "duplicate" the calendar event, and then move it to whatever calendar you want. Then delete the original event. Unfortunately, even if you select "delete and don't notify" the original event sender will receive a notification. I've also had problems with calendar invites in ical I accepted into mobileme syncing to my iphone and ipad in a format that does not allow me to edit.

Non-Mac users being able to accept iCal invitations

I have sent numerous meeting invitations using iCal to non-Mac users. When they receive the e-mail, they are unable to save the invitation to their calendar or accept the meeting request. How can I fix this?

Unfortunately, .ics files, which is how iCal invites are sent +as attachments+, are not recognized by the Mail app on the iPhone. Only Apple can alter that.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
Note that the New Invitation Alerts setting on the iPhone applies to calendar invites sent via MobileMe or MS Exchange (those are true calendar invites, not email attachments).

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I experienced this issue as well.
Background:
I had opened an ICS attachment for a repeating event on my iPhone, which added the item to my phone's calendar. I did not have the option to delete the calendar entry from my phone, and the item did not appear on the calendar on my Mac. My phone is currently running iOS 7 (but the problem began quite awhile ago; I don't recall which version of iOS was installed when it started).
Solution (summary):
Create a new calendar, move the items that you wish to delete to the new calendar, then delete the new calendar
Solution (detailed steps):
Create a new calendar
On your phone, open the calendar app
Tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the "Add Calendar..." option
Give your new calendar a good name, such as "Delete me"
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the new calendar
Tap "Done" in the top left corner to finish editing the list of calendars
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars
Assign all calendar entries that you wish to delete to the calendar you created in step 1
Tap a calendar entry that you wish to delete
Tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner
Scroll down until you see the Calendar field (on an iPhone or iPod it's usually just below the bottom of the screen), then tap the Calendar field to bring up the list of available calendars
Tap the name of the calendar that you created in step 1 (e.g. "Delete me"); the screen should return to the main calendar entry page
Tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen. You may need to then tap the "< Day" button on the top left of the screen to return to the main calendar view
Repeat the instructions in step 2 for each of the calendar entries that you wish to delete
Delete the calendar that you created in step 2 (this will delete all calendar entries assigned to this calendar)
From the main screen in the calendar app, tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Tap the entry for the calendar that you created in step 2 (e.g. "Delete me")
Scroll to the bottom of the scren and tap the "Delete Calendar" option. You should be prompted with a warning that explains that "All events associated with this calendar will also be deleted."
If you're sure that the only items on this calendar are items that you wish to delete, tap the "Delete Calendar" button
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to exit the Edit Calendars screen
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars. You should now be back at the main view of the calendars app
Rejoice, your pesky repeating calendar events have been deleted
At this point all of the items that you assigned to the deleted calendar should be gone
Repeat the steps above for any entries that you missed

Cannot put iCal invite onto my Exchange calendar

Hi there,
When I receive iCal invites and double-click them to open via iCal, they are always opened in my "Home" calendar under "On My Mac." I can't move the invite to my Exchange account. I've tried to delete all the folders "On My Mac" to no avail. Is there anyway to automatically put invites onto my Exchange calendar?
Thank you!
Davy

It was my fault, because this problem really a Kerio Mail Server faliure!

Ical invites

whenever i send an invite to an event, the invitee receives it but there is no link to respond. is this because they are using pc's rather than a mac with ical?
the most recent person got this: Carol Schultz has invited you to the iCal event: Meeting w/carol schultz, scheduled for November 20, 2009 at 2:00 PM (Mountain Standard Time). To accept or decline this invitation, click the link below.
there was no link for him to respond.

Hi Guys,
Been dealing with a similar issue for about 3 years now, so I know your pain. Apple will not solve this problem because they're a stickler for standards, no matter what the rest of the world really needs. Since I'm a developer at heart, I decided to tackle the problem on my own and built a software product cal Zamain for Mac to resolve the Apple iCal to Microsoft Outlook/Exchange incompatibilities. I originally built the product for myself, but soon realized that this can help others as well. Here are the major issues that Zamain for Mac resolves:
Supports sending Apple iCal invitations from multiple Apple Mail email accounts
Resolves the "unable to Accept" Apple iCal invitations sent to Microsoft Outlook/Exchange recipients
Resolves incorrect time zones for Microsoft Outlook/Exchange recipients
Prevents multiple attachments when viewing Apple iCal invitation emails in Microsoft Outlook
Although I know that this is a shameless plug for my product, I urge you to give it a try because it will really make your life easier. I have been using it every day for past 6 months and I can tell you that it saved me a lot of grief.
You can get Zamain for Mac at www.zamain.com.
Thanks!

ICal invite to a specific calendar

When accepting iCal invites (a .ics file) iCal places it in my Federal Holidays calendar. How do I switch it to one of my calendars? I can click on the event, and the the pull down menu is there to change the calendar, except I can't! iCal4.0.4/OS10.6.8

3.0.5 (1270)
Just to check I wasn't going mad, I just did this:
Opened GCal in Safari.
Created a new calendar: "Test Calendar"
Started Calaboration. Selected only the new calendar
Closed iCal when prompted
Opened iCal and after the (rather alarming) 'upgrading calendars' message I had GOOGLE:TEST CALENDAR with Test Calendar listed under it. (This can also be seen as a CalDAV account in preferences.)
Right-clicking on the calendar name, I get "Show CalDAV Queue" as the first item.
Are you using a different version of iCal? If not, perhaps you would be best advised to go into iCal Preferences, to delete the CalDAV account and start again?
Edit: Just noticed you are running the same version, but advice still stands.

Unable to edit the forms in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and adobe pdf reader.

Hai ,
i am unable to edit pdf forms . on clicking on the form text field error message comes as "font capture" message heading and content as
"C:\Windows\system32/ATMLIB.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."
if pressed ok . aplication get closed
i reinstalled all aplication with old versions but sill have the same error .please give a solution . thank you.

thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have a "Send Email" or "Submit" button available in my version. I have "Attach to email" option which automatically opens a new message in MS outlook (which I did not set up, it just started doing so automatically) without any further dialogue boxes or options.
Also, this is only for regular PDF files, not forms.

I am unable to edit an image in Photoshop.

I just installed Lightroom 5.3, and I have Photoshop CS5.1 installed. The problem is that I am unable to edit an image in Photoshop. When I click Photo>Edit In, the option for Photoshop is not active (i.e., it's not black), so I can't click on it. Why are the options for Photoshop and all of the other Photoshop related options, such as Merge to Panorama, etc., not active? In Preferences I have the following settings: File Format = TIFF; Color Space = ProPhotoRGB; Bit Depth = 16 bits; Resolution = 240; Compression = None. I am using Windows 7.

Chris:
I have to apologize for being misleading on my request for help in
resolving the problem.
Actually the version I am using is CS2 not CS3.
Yesterday I tried numerous times, and ways, to edit an image and each time
it refused to allow me to save it.
The software program just shut down. This evening when I decided to give it
another try it worked perfect.
Guess the program just took the day off.
Thank you for offering to help
Regards,
Doug
