Why does iCal display a badge for forwarded Outlook invites?

I forward all my meeting invites from my Outlook Mail at work to my MobileMe account so I can have them ultimately on my iPhone via the Cloud.
However iCal seems to create a badge (on the dock icon) for each forwarded item and I was just wondering why it's doing this, as it does not do this for items I create in iCal manually...
Any thoughts?

Hi,
There is a notification pane in iCal that shows a list of notification iCal thinks you need to deal with. You can open the notification list in iCal by pressing the 'envelope' button in the lower left of iCal's main window. Once these are attended to the number will be reduced.
Best wishes

  • HT204150 Why does iCal show incorrect age when displaying birthdays derived from Addressbook

    Why does iCal display incorrect ages derived from AddressBook entered birthdays?

    Hi PeterWCM, for what it's worth, the Apple help desk in Oz reckons we've uncovered a tech glitch in the software and that they replicated the described faults! But it only happens between specific dates (sometime in early Nov 1974, and runs through to today!)i.e; dates before Nov '74 aren't affected and some dates since!
    We "trouble shooted" by inserting (made-up) dates in Addressbook and then watching when iCal updated. By a process of trila and error we nailed down the start of the problem to 2nd Nov '74!
    Anyhow, they seemed to think there would be a "patch" issued in Jan...?
    It MAY still be linked to timezone probs...not really sure!
    Please let me know if you find a solution?
    Cheers!

  • Why does ical print out starting tuesday?

    Why does ical print out staring the week on tuesday?
    Maybe the week starts one day later for the Yosemite dev team, but certainly not in my neck of the woods.
    The actual print out also looks nothing like the new matt and  'flat' graphic style of Yosemite.
    I suggest you start on monday next week and sort these issues out.
    Sunny

    For many people that is the correct option. If you think it should be different, tell Apple, as they aren't listening here.

  • Why does ical on icloud have a different lay out than on my mac

    Why does iCal on my MacBook Pro have a different lay out than on iCloud? I like the iCloud layout better, the only missing niceties is the year calendar. How do I get both iCals to look the same? The ideal iCal? The one from iCloud WITH the year calendar.

  • Why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??

    why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??
    for example, when i am attempting to make a 'all-day' appointment on october 2nd 2011, it automatically shifts it to october 1st.
    but if i am doing a timed appointment for only a few hours, it will allow me to put it on that day.
    i am trying to put in travel dates so any help on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

    alsdman,
    Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
    Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the appropriate "Region."

  • Why does iCal keep telling me calendar can't be found?

    Why does iCal keep telling me calendar can't be found? I have my ical calendar synced with my android 2.3.6. They appear to be communicating and then the next time I check they aren't. I just randomly keep getting the error. I would like to sync my Google calendar, iCal and Android 2.3.6 calendar. Thanks for any suggestions!

    It is kind of hard to reconstruct what you did exactly and it may be that things have gotten pretty messed up -- it's easy to do that with OSX.  For starters, try running Disk Utility.  First, verify your hard drive with the repair feature (there are probably four buttons that do 4 different things).  If verify checks out okay, repair permissions.  Depending upon which ones are messed it it may cure some of them but not all.

  • Why does safari display empty page when localhost service are requested using https?

    Why does safari display empty page when localhost service are requested using https and port 37542 (https://localhost:37542/), but displays page properly when regular port is used (https://localhost/).
    Both links return the same json response and work properly in other browsers. Certificate for localhost service was installed to the storage.

    Problem solved.
    I added headers for localhost service response and page displayed normally.

    why does mac os keep asking for keychain password

    I'm getting this same problem. It seems random when it asks for the password, maybe every 3 or 4 days it'll ask when I plug it in at night. I've tried restoring from an older backup, which has not resolved the issue.

  • Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?

    Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?
    The same pictures in iPhone utilises half the storage space than in the iPad.

    Photos on the ipad should take up little  more space than It does on The iPhone because of the screen resolutions size.
    Keep in mind If the photos are being stored on the device by Photo stream they will Take up less Space or if The photo Are being store by itunes syncing they may take up a little more.

  • Why does ical rearrange my events when i print?!   10.9

    why does ical rearrange my events when i print?!
    I'm on a macbook pro running the latest version of 10.9
    Everything is organized the way I like it, but once I go to print, it rearranges the order of my events!
    How do I fix this?
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem a few weeks ago and called apple support.  The solution is as follows:
    Most apple users have multiple devices using icloud such as an iPdad, iPhone, and other computers.  In my case, I had two computers, two iPads, and one iPhone.   After speaking to apple support, I realized that one of my ipad's setting were set to delete events older then 2 weeks.   In short, if you are expeirienceing problems with ical deleteing events, you better check all your devices.  If just one of them is set wrong in your preferences, you will lose past events.   Even check computers you gave to your cildren or other members of the family.  You will probably find out that the settings on one of these machines is causing your problems.

    It's a really bad idea to post your email addresess - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
    This is a user-to-user forum and no-one on here can take any direct action. If your Yahoo address is not working that's something you would need to take up with Yahoo - have you checked it by sending yourself an email to it?

  • Why does my Premiere Elements 10 for mac freeze?

    Why does my Premiere Elements 10 for mac freeze (makes spinning circle loading) and doesn't stop when I am asked to select my country/region? I already had trouble downloading it originally because there was an error downloading, and then the following image happens (note: the screenshot couldn't capture the spinning circle freeze, but just look at the "application not responding" message below):
    Why does this happen? I downloaded and opened photoshop elements 10 (that came with the bundle) fine, but I can't open this.
    For reference, I am using a mac book pro from 2012 that is 64bit on OS X 10.8.5.
    Edit: Also, for the aforementioned error that I was getting earlier when installing, I would try to install and then half way through it said that the download failed. I had to follow the second method to fix in this link:

    I do not think we are in sync yet, but I will need to sign off soon. It is about 1 am where I am.
    1. Not sure what you mean by 2 warranty licenses that the CD comes ith in the package.
    If you purchased the Premiere Elements 10 Mac in boxed packaging, then you should have an installation disc and a purchased serial number. You cannot lose that. You can install and reinstall the program when you need to do so. There is no limit on uninstalling or reinstalling. The only limit is Adobe allows you to have your purchased serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. We can talk about it some more if necessary but there is a distinction between Deactivate and Uninstall. There has not been a limit on Deactivations in years.
    Another approach if you think your installation files or disc is corrupt is to download tryout files from the following web site and then install from them and insert you purchased serial number at installation.
    http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    You have to read the Note: Very Important Instructions very carefully otherwise you end up with Access Denied.
    If you think that we are now in sync, then I would suggest
    a. Delete the preference file (settings file)
    or
    b. Deactivate, uninstall, ccleaner run through, reinstall as per your instructions that worked for you.
    I will be watching for further details in the morning. Hopefully some of the Premiere Elements Mac users will join the thread to give the Mac perspective to the situation.
    Thanks.

  • HT2966 Why does ical delete information on calendar after eight months?  Why isn't data retained on calendar? (Apart from actually saving or backing up ical?)

    Why does ical automatically delete information on calendar after eight months or so?  Why doesn't data which has been inserted on calendar remain on the relevant dated calendar?  (Apart from actually saving or backing up calendar).

  • HT1725 Why does the download start again for the start. I only hve access to a 3G wifi connection so one tv episode had cost me about $10 I'm download costs because of several interruptions.

    Why does the download start again for the start. I only hve access to a 3G wifi connection so one tv episode had cost me about $10 I'm download costs because of several interruptions. Is there a way to change that?

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.
