This is so stupid!


I just created a new event; invited mywife@domain.com and it didn't send anything to her. However, I can edit the event, click the dropdown, choose send email and she gets the email. I don't understand why she can't get a flippin' invite!


It appears that if she has a iCloud account we can share a calendar? Guess i'll try spending more money to get it to work.

Here is how I solved the problem. Another post on this topic suggested going to applied.apple.com and signing off, then signing back on. When I did that I realized I had both my me.com email as a user, but an aol email I use for business. It was that account that I could send invitations to. I deleted the aol.com address and signed back in, and now invitations.


Another thing I have found that the person with whom I share my iCal with cannot receive invitations. My uneducated guess is that the system assumes that individual already knows about an event I create. Silly since they don't receive an email when I create the event iCal.


The thing that annoyed me was when I opened a case with Apple Support the case worker told me it wasn't a "known issue." HOWEVER, when I sent him an email that is solved the problem thanks to a poster in the Suport Communities he asked for that link so he could understand the issue. Jeez.

I am confused by your post. Where is applied.apple.com? And do you have the link to which you referred?


I signed up for iCloud shortly after it became available. I was a Mobile Me subscriber. Everything has been working just fine with my calendars and sending invitations, etc. Now all of a sudden the calendar invitation option is not working when I try to send my husband an invite to his sbc address. I get that "server responded with an error" #403.


What in the world could be going on I wonder?

Sorry for the confusion. I mistyped the website...it should be https://appleid.apple.com .


The other discussion group that I followed is at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3443102?answerId=16807814022#16807814022. A post from "JackfromHB" cited the Apple website that I went to where I discovered that, in addition to my me.com email account, I had previously included am aol.com email I use for business. After I deleted the aol account, signed out and on again, I was able to send invitations. Please note I tested the invitations on AOL email accounts only; I don't know if it works with non-AOL email accounts, like me.com.


Again, there is one person within whom I share my calendar, and invitations do not appear in either that person's me.com or aol.com email. The only conclusion I can draw is that anyone who I share my calendar with can't receive invitations,


I hope this helps.
