Cannot edit Outlook Calendar Events on iPhone

I am having this same problem although I have a colleague who seems to be able to to edit any meeting that he owns without issue.

I'll post updates as I discover them.

I found the fix from another post. Fix was posted by cmaglinger.

You have to match the capitalization or the exact format of your email address from active directory.

On my iPhone, I first had exchange configured with all lowercase characters for my email, but my email in AD had some capitals. So, I just changed my iPhone to match AD.

That fixed 2 things for me:
1) Quit getting invitations from everything that I created even if just me attending.
2) I am now able to edit all appointments wether created on pc or iPhone.

Hope this helps you too.

This did not work for me. The only events I can edit are events that I create new on my iphone or events from 2+ years ago. Any ideas?

Thanks for any help

Same here. I am unable to edit any items I create in Outlook. they seem to come over as invitations. I have tried the suggestions to know avail. Anyone else having this problem and/or know of a solution?

x2 for me.

x3 for co-working next to me.

Okay, I got mine to work. One of the solutions was to make sure you enter your name exactly how it is in the Active Directory - that for some reason the iPhone is case sensitive. My username in Active Directory has three capitals (I had to check with my IT guy). So, first I went into the Exchange Account settings and changed my username to be case sensitive. That didn't work. So, then I changed my email address to the correct case (for example, I changed it to UsErname@mail.company.edu. Bingo! Once it re-synced my appointments set up correctly.

I would be interested if this works for others.

After using the correct email address and still not getting the calendar to sync correctly. I did a little more research and found that some people had to upgrade the firmware on the phone to get the phone to sync correctly. By restoring my Iphone which updated the firmware I was able to get the calendar working correctly.

Hope this helps.

Anybody know about a spell check function for email on Iphone 3g?

Yes, I am having the same problem. When I got to edit an event, it it treated like an invitation and I can not change anything on the actual event. Is this a bug in the 3G or am I missing something? Thanks.

The thing that actually worked for me was putting my email address in EXACTLY how it was in Active Directory. For example, our IT staff capitalize the first 2 letters in our username. Normally, this doesn't matter, but for some reason it does (likely a bug). Once I made sure I had it matching and resynced everything works perfectly. You may have to ask your IT staff how your username is formatted.

What finally worked for me was again my firmware to (5A347) form (5A345). This is a hiden update so you will need to restore your phone from the itunes.

Good Luck,

Andrew

+1 fixed for me. The AD/Exchange address was set up in mixed caps, and was in the iPhone as all lowercase. Altering on the iPhone side and re-syncing the account worked like a charm. Thanks for the fix.

Here is how I solved this problem (e.g., the problem of being unable to edit calendar events in the new 2.0 iPod/iPhone software). First of all, my calendar, email, and contacts are stored on a Microsoft Exchange 2003 server. Second I was able to sync wirelessly over WIFI.

I tried changing my user name on my iPod Touch from "user" to "UseR" (in other words, I called my CIS support and got the exact capitalization of my user name). I changed username spelling in the preferences on my iPod Touch with the 2.0 software. But I still had the same problem: all calendar entries were invitations and could not be edited. So I took a deep breath and deleted the account off my iPod Touch. Then I started afresh with the new, correctly capitalized username and all other account info. After the device resynced, VOILA! it was fixed. I am now able to edit all calendar events, and there are no more silly invitations. I hope this helps someone out there!

Thanks to all who responded to this thread. The fixes worked for me too.
