Calendar Invitations Persist On iPad Despite Being Accepted
Bug or something wrong with my configuration?
13" MacBook Pro, 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.3)
13" MacBook Pro, 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.3)
I just encountered this very annoying bug.
Problem: A calendar invite sent by me from MS Outlook Calendar - that I initially accepted on my iPad - which I could not modify or delete.
Reason - I discovered that this is because:
1. I synchronise my calendars via Mobile Me,
2. The calendar that the appointment had been saved to was "on my iPad" and thus was not syncing with Mobile Me, and
3. These invitations can only modified on in iCal on my Mac.
Solution:
1. In iTunes turn on "Sync iCal Calendars" and select "All calendars"
2. Initiate sync.
3. The "on my iPad" calendars will now appear in iCal on your Mac.
4. Delete the offending events, or if you want the entire offending calendar.
5. Sync again to transfer these changes back to your iPad.
6. Turn of "Sync iCal Calendars" in iTunes to return to Mobile Me only syncronisation (It will prompt you to either keep or remove the calendars from you Mac - I chose remove to avoid duplicate entries.)
I hope this helps!

one of the things they suggest is accepting every invitation...as I understand it if even one invitation is deleted, the appointment can be deleted. This is one reason they suggest minimizing the number of delegates, to minimize the number of invitations floating aqrounbd...
You DO realize that the issue the op described has NOTHING to do with Delegates or the best practices thereof. This is just ONE user with different programs/ways of accessing his OWN calendar; thus presenting an issue with Sync.
To the OP: I wonder if iPhone, Outlook, and iPad are using the SAME settings (Outlook Anywhere vs OWA with ActiveSync, while Outlook uses autodetect where MAPI is auto created upon first launch on LAN)?
I deleted my email in trash and I went away!
