Is any one else haveing the issue? The wife and I share calendars. When she makes a chane I am receiving an email even though that feature is turned off. Or is iCloud having issues. This just started this evening.
Thanks

I started having problems with reminders doing the same thing this afternoon. Hopefully we can figure out a way to turn that off.
Thanks for the quick reply Al. I think we are looking at a system issue since it seemed to show up out of nowhere. I suspect a change may have been made on the Apple side. Hope they get it corrected soon.

Same thing here. Started today.
My wife and I share our calanders and reminders lists and it has worked perfectly for months and then suddenly we have been inundated with e mails about every change each other makes. Please Apple flip the switch back to the sames settings as yesterday.
Same here. Major PITA.
I have raised the matter with Apple support (UK) and they hadn't heard about it yet, so looks like it could be some time till it is fixed.
Same issue here. I cannot seem to locate the settings to turn this off.
You are supposed to be able to set it on iCloud.com but that isn't working.
This just started happening for me and my husband as well. I'm basically spamming him as I add new items to my calendar (that he can see). We just migrated to iCloud this weekend and assumed it was an iCloud feature we were just unaware of (true) but when I found the settings in iCloud.com, ours are turned OFF. This must be a system-wide glitch. If anyone finds a solution, please post it.
I strongly suggest all who have this issue call AppleCare and report it. I did today and they had no indication this was an issue, but escalated it. Make sure they do escalate it. If no one reports it directly to Apple, they do not learn about it... this accelerates their awareness of an issue.
Thanks
At arby2008's suggestion, I called Apple Support. SEVENTY phone and desktop sharing minutes later, I can tell you there is no change to the situation.
The technician has now "verified" that I (we) have a problem. He has "collected information" and esclated this to Apple Engineering.
He watched as I created events in my calendar and toggled back and forth to my husband's email to watch the notifications come in. We tried it in the reverse (creating events in my husband's calendar and looking at my email: same situation). We tried turning ON the "send email" switch box to see if the controls were just reversed (they're not - it sends email either way).
The only way to stop receiving the notification emails is to stop sharing for now.
I did mention this support discussion and he saw the thread open on my computer during desktop sharing so he knows I'm not the only person affected by this.
It's not good news - but at least it's information.
I called them today too, and they escalated it to the Apple Engineers. I also emailed them a link to this thread to show that it was happening to different people. So if you know anyone who is having this same problem please ask them to at least to post it here. I know not everyone has the hour to spend on the phone to get this problem where it needs to be addressed, so hopefully they will be looking here and seeing how many others it's affected. Right now the only solution to stop receiving the emails is to stop sharing the calendar and/or reminder.
Add me to the list.
Having the same problem, i hope they can fix it soon!
Started yesterday morning.
I have the same problem, FWIW
shared calendar sending change notifications when not turned on?
