When I get calendar invites there is no option to accept them

I have this issue on both my iPad and iPhone.  When i get a calendar invite in my inbox (for example an exhange invite *.ics) there is no option to accept the invitation.  I can open the event in mail, and view teh details, but there is no way to accept it.  The invite also does not show up as an "invitation" in my calendar, althought it does show up in the actual calendar as an event that has not been accepted.  

Just got iPhone 4s and have the exact same problem. These are all Exchange invites done by my assistant from her Outlook. I already exchanged to a new unit and the problem persists. What's more frustrating is that some invites work and some dont. Most do exactly as you describe. No option to accept/decline and go straight to my calendar while the invite on my Outlook sitll shows as unaccepted. The same problem exists if I open the actual iphone calendar notification or the attachment on the email sent by Exchange. It is extremely frustrating.
I have tried everything to try to analyze what is causing this and cant seem to get to the bottom of it and cannot explain the randomness of the problem. I am so dissapointed that iPhone and all its hype cant seem to get plain business functionality as good as Blackberry.
Would love to hear comments on this.

  • I just downloaded itunes, and when i go to music there are two options. You can either go to the itunes store or scan for media, and when I click on scan for media it does nothing. Help?

    I just downloaded itunes, and when i go to music there are two options. You can either go to the itunes store or scan for media, and when I click on scan for media it does nothing. Help? (I tried deleting itunes and re-installing it but apparently itunes was still on my computer so it asked me if I wanted to just check and see if there were any issues or missing software, so I did that but i still had the same problem.)

    Hi jbserious,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    It doesn't sound like the iTunes software and its components installed completely.  The article below will walk you through some troubleshooting steps.  Is this your first time using iTunes, or do you have an iTunes library from another computer that you want to move to this one?

    Illaas,
    I tried the manual method.  I was able to set the music/video to manual and then restarted the entire system.  After restart, I re-attached the ipod touch to the computer.  The sync automatically ran for everything that wasn't set to manual and it completed without a problem.  I then reset the music/video to automatically sync and restarted the entire coputer/ipod set again.  This time when I re-attached the ipod, EVERYTHING synced and there were no problems reported.  I've never had to do this before, but I will keep it in mind if something like this happens again.  Thank you for pointing me to the manual sync.

  • When I go through the 'import favorites' from Internet Explorer, everything seems to progress correctly. However, when I click on Bokkmarks, there is no option in the menu for accessing the imported items form EI. Is there a fix for this?

    When I go through the 'import favorites' from Internet Explorer, everything seems to progress correctly. However, when I click on Bokkmarks, there is no option in the menu for accessing the imported items form EI. Why would this option be missing and is there a fix for this?

    Hello Nigel.
    Are you sure the Bookmarks you important are nowhere to be found? They should be stored in your bookmark manager, somewhere. To access the bookmark manager, go into ''Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks...''. Try searching there.
    You can change their place from there too.

  • When I accept a calendar invite iPhone 5 is sending multiple acceptance mails

    Hi there,
    I'm hoping someone can assist as I'm driivng my colleagues crazy.
    Just moved over from an iPhone 4 to iPhone 5. Everything has been copied over ok and I was happy as Larry.
    However I just got a meeting request from our works mail server (Exchange) which I accepted in the calendar app. The phone then proceeded to send 30odd acceptance messages to the invitee who just so happened to be my boss. I switched the phone off and sure enough the stopped only to resume once I switched the phone back on again.
    I thought perhaps something didn't quite copy over correctly so I removed the exchange account completely and re-added it. I got a member of my staff to test with a new meeting request and exactly the same thing happend again. This time I just switched off the calendar and switched it back on which seems to have solved the problem of the multiple messages.
    Obviously this not only mega annoying for the person getting spammed by my acceptance mails it's also killing my battery.
    I wasn't having this issue on my iPhone 4 which was running iOS 6 so the only things that have changed is the phone and also the service provider. I'm sure former will blame the latter and the latter will blame the former.
    Before I spend time on the phone to the network has anyone else experienced similar? And how did you resolve it?

    I have the exact same request. I especially don't want to send a response when I receive an invite to a large meeting with a lot of invitees. Have you figured it out?

  • When declining a calendar invite, how do I propose an alternative time or add a note?

    Using Apple's calendar, how do I decline a calendar invite and propose an alternative time and include a note?

    No, I seemed to only get the three options Accept, Decline and Maybe. There are times when I want to decline with a note of why or decline and propose a different time.

  • How do i get calendar invites to open and update icloud calendar instead of my local outlook account?

    I recently started using iCloud for my calendar and have installed the MS Outlook iCloud plug in, but whenever I receive calendar invitations in any of the mail accounts I have configured in Outlook, only my local calendar on my computer is being updated.   How do I set up Outlook to have incoming calendar invitations update my iCloud calendar?   I even tried opening the iCloud website, but all calendar items there also show up as .ics files, which automatically open in MS Outlook on my computer and again update only my local calendar (personal folders).   I also tried setting the default data file in MS Outlook to the iCloud data file, but when I did that, Outlook gives an error message advising against setting the iCloud calendar as the default.   I'm at a total loss and would GREATLY appreciate any advice anyone might be able to provide.    Thanks to all for your time!

    Hi Marknoon,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    In order to resolve this issue where you are unable to use iCloud calendars in Outlook, please follow the steps below, ensuring you follow them in order and testing after each step.
    Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)
    If you're having trouble with iCloud Calendar on a PC (with Outlook 2007 or later), try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved.
    Note: iCloud Control Panel does not support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition. When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual menu (right-click) has also been disabled.
    Verify that you are using a Windows configuration supported by iCloud.
    Make sure that your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Learn about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
    Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel window. Learn about setting up iCloud on Windows.
    Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
    Make sure that iCloud is not your default account in Outlook:
    In Outlook 2013 and 2010, select File > Info > Account Settings > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
    In Outlook 2007, select File > Data File Management > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
    If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not updating on your other devices or vice versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
    Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
    Close Outlook.
    Open the iCloud Control Panel:
    In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow  in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
    In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, then click the iCloud tile.
    In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Deselect the checkbox next to Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark and click Apply.
    Open Outlook and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
    Make sure that the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook. (Learn more about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook.)
    Outlook 2013 and 2010:
    Open Outlook 2013 or 2010.
    Click the File menu.
    Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
    Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    Outlook 2007:
    Open Outlook 2007.
    From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
    Select Add-ins from the left column.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
    Note: When enabling Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup process is to copy your Calendars data from the default Outlook .pst file to iCloud, then remove the Calendars from the .pst file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Calendars data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Make sure that you're looking for your data within the iCloud folder in Outlook after enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted files can be seen by viewing Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data. iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Calendars data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.

  • I cannot get calendar invites in my IOS inbox.

    I recieve calendar invites in my yahoo email inbox.  From there I am able to add the invite to my ios calendar and accept.  The problem begins when the appointment is updated.  I cannot move the appointment on my calendar.  Even if i delete the old appointment and try to add the new appointment, like i did originally, it doesnt work.  I use the calendar for work and the 3 people who send me the invites are all on ios as well.  Does anyone out there have a solution?

  • Help: Can't get calendar invitations to appear on my icloud calendar

    Hi,
    I have the specific setup:
    1. icloud account (includes my itunes, calendar, reminders, contacts,...) configured with a username [email protected]
    2. email using [email protected] through gmail account
    Everytime someone sends me an invitation to my [email protected] address, I am not able to get the invitation directly at my calendar (it appears just as an email in my gmail account). Can you please help me solve this? I know it works because my girlfriend account is exactly the same and it works for her
    Please help!!!
    Thanks
    Nuno

    tired that as well no difference. very weird. really don't get it. Doesn't work with my iphone nor with ical or web icloud.
    The invitation just goes directly to the @gmail account as an normal email and doesn't get into the cal app as an invitation. (ps. the person who's sending the invitation is sending it from ical)

  • Exchange 2007 when sending a calendar invite, a non-existent delegate shows up in an undeliverable message

    I had a test user that was removed. When it was removed, it was still listed as a delegate on someone's email. Now, whenever a Calendar invite is sent to the existing user, the sender receives an undeliverable message. The existing user does not receive
    notification of a calendar event, but the event does show up in the calendar.

    Hi,
    If the delegate user account or mailbox has been removed from domain or Exchange server, please also remove the delegate settings with this account.
    If a user is set as a delegate for a manager, the meeting request which is send to the Manager would be forwarded to the delegate automatically and ask for approving in the delegate side.
    Please do the following steps in the Manager’s Outlook client to remove the delegate settings for this non-existent delegate:
    1. Open the Manager’s Outlook.
    2. Click File > Account Settings > Delegate Access.
    3. In the Delegate list, click the non-existent delegate, click Remove.
    4. Click OK to save the settings.
    Then check whether the issue persists.
