Why are my ical invites sent to everyone on my network instead of just to those I want to invite?

Hello everyone!
I'm upfronted with the following issue using iCal. We have small buisness with 10 clients all running Lion. Our server is a MacPro with SL. Every single user has its own CalDAV Account within iCal and on the server. Using iCal upbrings the following issue.
When someone is creating a new event and inserts just certain atendees from our local office, this event is somtimes also shown within iCal on clients that weren't invited within the event itself.
This is pretty awkward, as obviously not all events are ment to be seen by everyone in our network. Strangely this issue only applies to some of the clients within our network. If you're wondering, every client-pc is used by just one person with its own unique login.
I have been searching the internet all over but unfortunately haven't found anything. Another point is that this issue startet as we upgraded our clients from SL to lion about a year ago.
This is what we're trying to achieve with iCal:
every clients/user has it'S own CalDAV-Account synced with the server. Each user has several calendars all synced via server. Some calendars don't belong to any user, but are instead calendars shared by everyone (for e.g. for days-off)
Now when a user creates an event within in iCal on his client and invites some attendees this invite should only be sent to those persons invited by the creator of the event. For everyone else this event should not be visible.
Furthermore we have only one meetingroom. If the creator of the afore mentioned event wants to use this room for his event, this room should be displayed as occupied for the time of event. This sometimes isn't shown as somebody else wants to create an event using that room at the same time (this might be a total different issue I guess...)
Anyone having a solution that might help?
Here's the following I have tried so far:
checking the server configuration for iCal -> found nothing that could help me or at least reveal a hint to where the problem lies
checking all client's iCal and CalDAV settings -> again, found nothing that could help me.
Maybe even though I have tried checking some settings as mentioned above, it could be possible that I have overlooked something..
Regards out front for helping me solve this issue and hoping to hear from the community,
Moritz
btw, this is not our/my only issue with iCal...;-) So look out for further threads to come.

Have you tried this:
iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Turn on time zone support
(http://i.imgur.com/iiCra.png)
If that doesn't fix it automatically, top right of iCal change time zone to CT.

Are the senders set in the correct time zone too?

Why are my iCal calendars randomly disappearing with all their corresponding events?

Why are my ical calendars randonly disappearing? I updated to Maverick, but one disappeared before I did that update. I have 10 different calendars, each identified by its own color, example: "work" calendar is yellow, my personal calendar is green. Every month or so, one randomly disappears without my even being in the program or changing anything. Along with the calendar ALL its events are gone as well. None of those events show on my iphone, imac, ipad or macboook pro. They just vanish, along with many appointments I have scheduled, and their directions and info. Im SO FRUSTRATED! Im ready to go back to paper.

Got it fixed cal got set for icloud on my iphone. now I can choose them in itunes.

Why are the CAPTIONS displayed smack across everyone's face?

Why are the CAPTIONS displayed smack across everyone's face on the screen??? I need the captions to HEAR better but I still want to SEE the show. When the text is displayed across everyone's eyeballs it's very disruptive. And I want ONE BUTTON on my remote to turn captions on/off; from a user perspective it is unnecessary to go through the menu settings everytime. Take a stand and do something about improving CAPTIONS!!!

The CC text is on the bottom third of the screen. I don't understand the problem. *shrugs*
Actually when I first replied, I checked the CC on the channel I was on and it was in the 'face' position the OP complained about. Now checked here on recording of Sprint Cup qualifying and it's at the bottom. Looks like some are not in the bottom 1/3 of the screen.

You're right...some closer to the bottom, some closer to the top. I wonder if it's a network decision or just random.

Why are my messages being sent through email rather than iMessage?

Why are my messages being sent as email rather than iMessage?

Not being sent as email - shown as being sent from an email address because you have selected to start new iMessage conversations from your Apple ID email address on your iPhone.
When registering an iPhone with iMessage, the phone number along with your Apple ID email address is registered with it.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From - select your iPhone's phone number.

Using Mail, why are several versions of sent messages ending up in Trash?

Bought the Pro a month or so ago and recently has an operating system update to 10.9.2. Am using Mail to pick up mail from Server - and all appears to be working fine. But, when I send a message, several versions of it and appearing in Trash. A copy does go into Sent Items and th emessages are getting to addressees - but why are several versions of messages appearing in Trash.
The versions appear to be at different levels of 'editing' - just very strange an dnever seen it before.
Any ideas please
Tony

The only thing I can find in the preferences that refers to drafts is this:
Perhaps untick Store draft messages on the server. But I'm not sure if that will definately work or not. Either way, it's shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Why are the emails I sent out being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them

why are the emails that I have sent out not going to the recepiants but instead being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them?

This problem is generally caused by not having a connection to the ISP mail sender (send and receive authenticate and operate independently).

Why are my iCal menus disabled?

I am having troubles with iCal. Most of my menus are disabled:
iCal > File > New Event
iCal > Edit > cut, copy, paste, delete, select all, duplicate,
iCal > View > by day, week, month year, Go to date
... to name a few.
I find the iCal > Edit > copy, paste a tragic loss. Many reoccuring events cannot be created within the "repeat" option because they follow no pattern (such as 2xweek, every Monday, etc).
I am slowly feeling the iMac and its applications being pushed to the end of the line. Excuse me, Apple, but my iMac doesn't have a touch screen (yet) and I would like to have some tried and true features (aka commands) survive. Don't get me started on scroll up/down arrows lost with the Mountain Lion "upgrade." I would have stayed happy with Snow Leopard except I had to "upgrade" for iCloud to work with my iPhone.
Oh, iRaspberry to you, Cupertino!!!
Can anyone clue me in: Are the iCal menu features described above gone forever or do I need to tweak a setting?

Fixed my own problem. Ultamately a user error but tied to the many threads about the month view defaulting events to "all day" vs. hourly increment. I knew that was the case, so when editing events from month view I made sure to add/change the time, but negected to look at "To" date. If my event was for an hour, simply adding the hour pushed the day to span across dates so the event was really 25 hours. Looked OK in the month view (just showed as a dot) but the day and week were all filled and casued the event to appear twice on the second day in list view (iPhone). In the case of repeat events, sometimes "To" date ended up as the end date for the repeat cycle... which really messed every thing up... I believe causing what looked like duplicates, etc.

Why are my iCal custom colors not appearing on other divides

When I set custom iCal colors in the past they sync across all devices. But recently (3-4 months) any calendar I add or adjust the color on the cloud will not change on my iPad or my iPhone 5s. What is going on? I only have so many default options and I need many calendars to be differentiated from another.

It's just very hard to believe - 20+ networks! Especially the ones that are very strong that say HOME-XXXX. I am wondering a bit about those - there are 6 of them matching that naming pattern and the strength on all of them is quite good. Like I said houses are not close together in my neighborhood, at least not to me. It's not like we're talking farm country or a rural area, but the lots here are fairly large and widespread, for a suburb.
How can so many strong, similarly-named signals be appearing? I wish I could triangulate/locate the routers and know for sure where they are.

Why are my iCal events not the same across views?

Help! I've been editing my iCal in Month view and everything looks great... but then I look at the day view (or week, whatever) and it's not the same. For example, in Month view for July 2 - I have one event scheduled from 8:30-noon. Then I look at the day view... and there are 8 different events! Most of them duplicates of different things that I had at one time or another deleted or changed. Why didn't the "clean up" work that I did in the month view carry over to day or week view? In fact the opposite, there are more things in day or week views than I ever created.
Recently upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard. Recently changed from mobileme to iCloud. I only have iCal set to my iCloud account (no "on my mac" iCal calendar data). So the problem I see when editing on my MacBookPro is also seen when logged into iCloud directly via Safari and on my iPhone, iPad, etc. At first I thought this was an iCloud syncing error because I only noticed the difference on my phone (list view)... but when I went back to my MacBookPro I realized the problem exists there too... so doesn't seem to be a syncing error, but rather a "view" error... then the "problem" is mirrored everywhere.
I've tried "refresh" and "refresh all" from the Calendar drop down menu. This does nothing to help the problem... not that I really expected it would.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I'm going crazy!

Why are my messages getting sent to two different phone numbers?

My mom and I use the same Apple account for our iPhones and when we updated our phones for iOS 6, all of the text messages that I've been receiving have been sent to her iPhone as well.

Tjmoo, did you find out the answer to your question? If so, will you share? I am having an issue where some of my messages to iPhone users go through as iMessages while others go through as text messages. I am not sure why this is because the people I am sending them to have iPhones.
Thanks!

Why are many of my sent messages in Mail 2.1.3 getting marked as Junk?

I have both sent messages (about 75% of them) being automatically marked as junk mail, and I also have many email messages coming into my inbox that are being marked as junk (even if their names/ email addresses are in my address book).
Any help on this? Thanks!

Hi JonnySuzieQ, and a warm welcome to the forums!
What kind of account is this, POP or IMAP?
Is the MobileMe perchance?

Why are 4s text messages sent as MMS?

I don't have an iPhone 4S, however, more than one person has sent me text messages (only text, no pictures, video, or audio) using their 4S and they are always sent as multimedia (MMS) messages instead of SMS. It seems to happen when they compose a new text, but when they reply to one of my SMS messages, it replies as SMS.
It's quite annoying, especially since I don't have a plan with unlimited messages and MMS cost me something like a quarter a piece... for something that does not have any multimedia content.
So what's the deal? Is this an iPhone issue, or only an issue with specific carriers? I haven't asked which carriers my friends use, but I believe it's Verizon and/or AT&T. I don't believe it is an issue with pre- 4S iPhones.

If the sender is sending out multiple SMS's at the same time, this could be the problem. Most carrier's will send multiple SMS's as MMS...nothing a sender can do about this, except not send multiple SMS's at once.

Why are my text messages sent as mms?

Sometimes when sending sms messages, the person recieving them has to download them like they are a picture. I have checked and under settings the subject line is off. Im not sure what else to try. It also doesnt seem to matter how long or short they are. Any ideas?

You probably sent the text to multiple recipients, which is done via MMS on the iPhone.
