Calendar Invitations Persist On iPad Despite Being Accepted

Hi.

I've found that I should NOT accept via the e-mail invite, but go to Calendar app. From there, accept the invite. If I accept from there, they will sync, and appear as accepted. Exit Calendar, enter Calendar, & now the invite is gone. If you accept any other way, the invite will persist, and if accepted multiple times, will appear multiple times in your original invite - although usually as the full email address, not just the regular First/Last name.

The recommedation from oneat001 worked perfectly for me:

"For a workaround you can go into your Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars> select your account, turn off Calendars (it will ask you to delete, press delete), then press done. Then select your account again and turn it on, then select done. Your Calendar should sync everything back to normal."

It took just a minute or two to sync everything back up. No problems now. Thanks.

Thanks for the solution for this! Deleting the invitations from the server trash (or just emptying the trash) got rid of the calendar invitations for me (was really starting to bug me). Seems easier (and safer) than deleting and re-syncing the calendar.

Maybe a future softwre update will change the code to remove/ignore invitations that are moved to server trash.

I found that accepting invitations in Outlook (for Mac, assuming also via Windows) via "Accept:Do Not Send response" will cause iOS to treat invitations oddly. You can remedy this by going back and "Accept:Respond without comments" or "…with comments" The invitations will remain, but "my status" will be correct. The invitations can then be deleted by following the steps above, and won't persist. Hope this makes sense 😕

This is the correct solution. Thank you

kikichylo, this has worked for me as well. I will simply discontinue the use of "Accept: Do not send response" on my Mac Outlook 2011. Thank you!

Count me in, only problem is for a CEO with two iPads, an iPhone and a BlackBerry, deleting invitations from his trash or having his assistants do it is an unacceptable. I've been told to simply "Just fix it", but from what I've researched and tried, that is not possible. Disabling and re-enabling the sync of his calendar did not fix the issue, and yes, his assistants are annoyed at the constant accept notices for the same thing.

And although the best practices link had nothing to do with this issue, really? If there is anybody on here that supports users, you know what I'm saying. Best practices is not even on their radar.

So my questions are the following:

Was this the result of an update, and if so, does anybody know which one? He insists this wasn't happening "before".

Does anybody know if Apple's next update will even address this issue?

Does anybody have confirmation that the root issue is that it is still in the deleted items and that is why clearing them from the deleted items folder? Any idea why it is looking at it in there?

If anybody can confirm any of the following, it would help when I have to deliver the bad news.

Thanks, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

This worked for me.

Hello folks,

I had the same problem, received a "canceled" meeting from a coworker's outlook.

I should have not, but I added to calendar, so I could not delete the series neither, Outlook, iPhone or iPad.

Outlook: "The atendee may not change the enet"

iPhone and iPad: only details but no delete option.

So I logged in iCloud, double click the meeting and delete with the button in the lower part.

If th case, select All future events or Only this event.

Hope it helps!

Upon upgrading my iPhone and iPad3 to IOS 6 I still have issue. We are on that pretty new Exchange 2010.

Onlything which helps is removing calendar and re-enabling. Quite annoying.

However, in the past I used to have - sometimes - also issues with wrong unread email. Since upgrading that seems to be gone, hope this is not a coincidance...

this one worked nicely!
