Why am I receiving millions of meeting invites since Jan 4th 2014?

Searched the forum for this issue but could not find anything. I am seeing a pop-up notification 2~3 times every day this week on my iPhone 5s running the latest iOS 7.0.4.
Yesterday, the notification was: "33,554,432 Invitations"
Today, it is displaying : "67,108,864 Invitations".
I have no idea what's happening. The only clue I have is that the second number is 2 X the first one.
Has anyone else seen this issue? What could be causing this? I did disable calendar sync with my facebook app yesterday.

The contract im under is for 8 meg not 20.which was sold to me in january after a lengthy disscussion with customer services when 20 meg would be available on my line.I was told jan and when agreeing to sign the contract i asked that it be noted on my account that i was only signing on the provision that 20 meg would be available when i had been told it would be.To which the BT customer services agent agreed.This was not noted on my account and if it was not possible to note this on my account i should have been informed of it before signing the contract
I have spoken to customer services regarding this to try and get out of the contract as i felt i had been missold the product with the promise of a speed increase that has to date not happend.When asking customer services about the contract im basically told that bt will hold me to the full length of the contract
The latest date i have been given was august but as it has changed evey month since january this makes it diffucult to believe that this will prove to be correct.
Personally the big annoyance to me is being given wrong information on at least 7-8 occasions.When you bear in mind the price quoted to me for 20meg would have cut my broardband package fees from £25 to £14 per month.This along with the constant stream of differing info provided to me has made the whole process really frustrating.

Users receiving "Your Lync meeting invitation needs to be update due to changed server policies"

A few users are experiencing this
Right now Lync is on 2010 server and users are using Lync 2013 client with office 2010 and the server it will be upgraded to 2013. When it does get upgraded to 2013 will this message occur? I know in Lync 2010 client there were updates that fix this
but i see nothing for the Lync 2013 client. Please advise.

Hi,
There is no related document on network about the issue if Lync Server is 2010 while Lync client is 2013.
As Edwin said above, you can migration Lync Server 2010 to 2013 and then check again.

Lotus Notes (Domino) Meeting Invitations from Mail to iCal

I use an iMac at work and a MacBook Pro at home. They recently switched to a Notes-based calendar program at work, and since I don't have the Notes client installed on either machine (someone from our IT department has spent about four hours trying to install it on the iMac with no success) and the web application only works with IE 6, and there is no provision for synching the calendar with my PDA, when I heard that the e-mail meeting invitations could be imported into iCal, I was all over that.
When I opened iCal on the iMac I found that there was a "Work" calendar, and iCal's "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" box was checked, there were no entries in the Work calendar--or any other calendar.
When I initially looked into it, I found several threads (e.g. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5186410) in the iCal forum about time zones not being imported correctly (I wish my problems were that minor!) from Lotus Notes meeting invitations. But these threads showed vCal messages and mentioned error dialogs. I hadn't seen any dialogs, and my meting invitations are just plain text messages like this:
======================
Meeting Invitation: Norman Conquest has invited you to a meeting
Meeting Details
Subject: Let's Kill an Hour, Shall We?
Begins: 11/26/07 9:00:00 AM
Ends: 11/26/07 10:00:00 AM

Chair: Norman Conquest
Required Invitees: Upton O'Good, Natalie Attired, Hugh Mility, Justin Case
Optional Invitees:

======================
So I just assumed I was foiled again because the messages were not in the right format.
Later I happened to open my MacBook Pro, and, much to my surprise, I found that a small number of meetings had actually found their way into iCal, and in at least one case I know of, one has actually been rescheduled! I could hardly contain myself.
At first I thought the small number of meetings was simply due to the fact that I receive most of my work e-mail at work, on the iMac, so only those meeting invitations that I happened to open for the first time on my MacBook Pro had been imported. However, this turned out not to be the case, as I have observed many cases in which I have received new, unread meeting invitations on my MacBook Pro which have not been entered in iCal.
But what's really got me is that this whole process is so inaccessible! You'd think there would be preferences where you could tell Mail what kind of invitations to look for and tell iCal which calendar to put them in. But no. There's just one checkbox to turn the process on or off. You just check it and cross your fingers.
Just to deepen the mystery a little bit, I do know of one other Mac user who says his invitations are being reliably entered into iCal, and he can even reply to them. When I asked him for details he told me he just turned it on and it worked.
Is there anyone out there who can at least shed a little light on what I've observed, if not help me get this process working at least quasi-reliably? Is this process working for anybody else out there?

Calendar meeting invites contain no information since update to 10.3.1.1565

Hi All
If I receive a calendar meeting invite from Exchange users with Outlook 2010 to my Q10 device, and I open it, there are 3 tabs along the top of the screen, Details, People and Emails, but the rest of the screen has no information its just white, so I cannot see what time the meeting is or where it is etc.
Any ideas, suggestions, assistance greatly appreciated (urgently! 18 users involved)
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After more troubleshooting with the user he reported the top of the calendar day view had the error "Some accounts failed to respond", he also had Hotmail account running and an AOL email account which he had not finished configuring. I suggested he delete the non corporate accounts and see what happens.
He reported that after deleting just the AOL account and restarting the Q10 the calendar and meeting invites were all ok!!

Meeting invitations from Mail not making it to iCal

I haven't been able to have meeting requests automatically transfer over to iCal.
I have my Mail settings set to automatically send meeting invites to iCal, and most invitations come from people that are present in my address book.
I've been on hold with Apple Care for over an hour, and haven't had any luck other than being asked to check the settings above.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I should clarify that.
Lotus Notes Meeting Invitations aren't being imported into iCal +with any degree of reliability+, and the more I look into this, the more mysterious it seems to get.

Forward a meeting invitation

I use Exchange at work and I receive lots of meeting invitations, some of them I need to forward to one my team members to attend on my behalf, or I need to extend this invitation to people I see relevant to the topic. There is no menu item or a button as "Forward". I need to know how to forward a received meeting invitation to someone else that they will receive it as an invitation and not a regular email

There is an app that allows this - called Forward My Meeting. It allows you to forward any meeting in your calendar from the iPhone or iPad.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Receiving Meeting Invitations In iCal

People who are Mac Entourage or Windows Outlook users can invite each other to meetings and can reply just fine. As a user in Mac's iCal program I receive just an email with meeting details embedded as text but no automated meeting functionality include the ability to reply.
If you know of a fix I'd be grateful.

They sent an invitation through their meeting invite feature.
Meeting invitations to myself are fine. I believe this is an issue between Apple and Microsoft, though I'm not sure why this is an issue in the first place because both should be complying with the iCal standard (the meeting format standard, not Apple's program).

Why can't I edit an event sent thru Exchange meeting invites from others?

Is there any way to edit an Event in iOS 6 when it is sent from others as an Invitation? I don't see the Edit button in the upper right of the screen for invitations sent by others on our Exchange network (Exchange 2003 & 2010 mixed environment).
I do see the Edit button on meeting requests that I initiated from Outlook on my PC so I wonder why it isn't available on others invitations to me?
I want to Edit those at times. For example, they may not include the address in the location field so I want to go in and edit the Event so I can put that information in to use later (look up directions in the Map App.
I'm new to iOS all together (my first iOS device is this iPhone 5) so not sure if this was available prior to iOS 6 or has always been an iOS calendar issue.
BTW I've upgraded to 6.0.1.
Thanks

I think you can set up a new mail account of the type IMAP.
And turn off the Mail option in iCloud.
Follow therse instructions below to set up your own IMAP account manually:

Just make sure you leave your email address as [email protected], and only use [email protected] as the username

Issues when accepting meeting invite received via exchange

Hi,
My iphone (3G 3.0) is syncing with push via an exchange server. What I am finding out is that when I accept, tentatively accept, or decline a meeting invite, I also am doing the same "On Behlaf of" whoever is on either side of me in the meeting invite. I do not have any type of access to these people's email, calendars etc.
Anyone else having this issue? Anyway to resolve it?
Thanks!

We're seeing the same thing. Using iphone 3gs with exchange activesync 2003 and outlook 2003 client.
Although after a lot of testing we've narrowed it down a little. It seems to accept on behalf of the the person that appears first alphabetically in the list of recipients, and stops there.
For instance, my name starts with a 'J' (Jason). So if there are others that were invited whose name starts with a 'C' (Carol), and then a 'G' (Greg)....and I accept the meeting invitation, it will only "accept on behalf of" Carol but not Greg. So the meeting organizer will see a message that appears to be from Carol, but it actually states that Jason accepted on behalf of carol. The organizer will also receive the proper response that you (Jason in this case) accepted.
Other testing showed that if YOUR name was the lowest alphabetically in the recipients list (Jason, Sam, and Tom), then it will accept for you properly, but not accept those with names starting with a higher letter in the alphabet than your name.
So it appears to choose the first name in the recipients list in alphabetical order.
We also noticed that if the meeting organizer sends the request *from his/her iphone* (with the same recipients - Carol, Greg, and Jason), and Jason accepts it on his iphone....it will not accept on behalf of Carol.
So far we don't have a solution....but that's what we've figured out at this point.
I hope it makes sense.

Outlook meeting invites received as ICS txt file in Yahoo mail

My boss is sending Outlook 2010 meeting invites to external users at Gmail, Yahoo, & hotmail. Gmail accept the meeting invite, but yahoo and hotmail get that as text (.ICS) files.
He is convinced this is an issue with our Exchange server and/or Outlook. Should he expect that Outlook meeting invites will be received correctly in other mail platforms or is there something I need to enable/install on either his Outlook or
the Exchange 2010 server to enable this?
Thank you,
Greg H.
Dublin, OH

Hi,
To determine if it's an issue on Outlook or Exchange, you can send a meeting request from OWA, check if this issue persists.
In Outlook, please go to File tab -> Options -> Calendar -> Calendar Options -> Have you checked "When sending meeting requests outside of your organization, use the iCalendar format"? Check or Uncheck it and click OK to test if this
is involved.

Meeting invites not received on Blackberry device on Airtel using Google Apps

Greetings. This seems to be an ongoing problem but I could not find a specific thread to what I am facing, and hence creating a new thread.
Over the last two weeks, a lot of users in our office have suddenly stopped received meeting invites / notices. Most of them are using a variety of Blackberry devices almost all Curves 8520, 9230, 9360. We use Google Apps for our mail, calendaring and others.
Meeting Notices are not coming to some of the BB devices. When a meeting is created by an organiser (say me for example) and I invite two or three co-workers, the meeting notice e-mail is delivered and sits in their Google Apps GMail hosted mailbox, but it does not download to their BB. All other mail messages are delivered normally.
On those receipients facing this problem, I experimented with their settings in Calendar of Äutomatically add invitations to my calendar" to Yes and Yes, but don't send event reminders unless I have responded.
I have even deleted the account, re-added, and downloaded service books.
The wireless sync between Google Apps Calendar and the BB devices is working fine.
Can someone please help solve this problem and oblige.
Thanks in advance

I Fixed mine.. This is how
1. Contact Blackberry Tech support and mention tis article
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB17471
2. Then advise then of this solution
Resolution:
Reintegrating email address to use POP instead of MSNMSP resolved issue
Then all your issues are fixed. Good luck

Why aren't people receiving my iCloud calendar invites from my Mac, iPhone or iPad?

Why aren't people receiving my iCloud Calendar invites? This is a problem with all my devices. I have tried the suggestions on the Community message boards to no avail. This problem has been going on for weeks.
I switched from MobileMe months ago and never had any problems until a few weeks ago. I kept thinking it would resolve itself, but it hasn't.

Apple turns into Microsoft. Very annoying same problem here. If you invite someone with a proper email address, that person should get an invite whether you use mobile me, icoud, ical standalone or entourage. Big shame for apple.

Blackberry not receiving meeting invitations

My husband & I both have Blackberry 8330's. We are on BIS and only use our personal e-mail accounts. When he sends me a meeting invitation, I receive an e-mail in Outlook but the invitation does not come to my device. I cannot accept the meeting invitation from the e-mail, it comes in as a bunch of text and doesn't even tell me the date or time of the meeting. It doesn't seem to matter if the invitation is updating an existing meeting or a new one. He receives invitations that I send him just fine.
Does anybody have any ideas what the problem could be?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have you tried, for both BB's, to delete and re-create the BIS profile?
Also, have you compared, item by item, the settings within the Message app config on both devices? Perhaps something is set one way on one and differently on the other?
Also, have you compared the OS level of the two devices to be sure they are as well the same?
