Shared iCloud calendar notification problems

Hey all,


My partner and I have a number of shared iCloud calendars which we seem to be having problems with since we upgraded to iOS6 and iCloud.com's upgrade (I'm not sure if there's been an upgrade but things seem different).


At the moment whenever my partner or I add/delete/change and event in our shared calendars the other person is recieving email notifications of these changes. Orginally when you shared a calendar with someone you could choose whether or not you would be notified when they made any changes to it- this toggle seems to have disappeared and we seem to be stuck with the settings we had set with no way of changing them.


Does anyone have any ideas on a work around to this?


In the preferences pane of iCloud->Calendars we've both turned off all the alert and notification settings yet are still recieving emails. Not only that, but we are also getting notifications via the Calendar App on our iPhones despite in Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars having 'New Invitation Alerts' and 'Shared Calendar Alerts' both turned off.


It seems no matter what we turn off (iCloud.com & on the iPhone) we still recieive these emails regarding changes, deletions, and new events.


Can anyone help?


Cheers,

Duane

iPhone 4, iOS 6

hmm weird?! What kind of options do you have under there then? I have starting from the top (again not sure about the exact words) TIMEZONE, DUE ACTIVITIES, NOTIFICATION FOR ACTIVITIES, INVITATIONS. Like shown below.User uploaded file

Oh... unfortunately I can't see your photo. But I understand your issue! Don't know if I can help you and probably you'v tried everything already. But I can give it a try!

The calendar you referring to, is it on iCloud or did you sync them to your Mac and iPhone separately?

Cause if they ARE on iCloud and you have them in the 'calendars-list' on your mac. Just 'right-click' on that particular calendar>choose 'more info' and check the box 'ignore notifications'. It should do the trick. Or remove them and add them again, now you should be able to check that box just before you add it!?

Sorry if I can't help you, I'm just an ordinary newbie 🙂 have a nice day!User uploaded file

Hey guys! I found a solution that worked for me. I got fed up with the email notifications...

go to: "iCloud.com>Calendar>Gear symbol>Advanced Tab" Uncheck the box "Send notifications from shared calendars" (Don't know the exact words because I'm using swedish. But it will be the second box in the third section from above) Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did! 😀 Have a nice day

We've also found this same issue with shared Reminder lists sending out email notifications.


My partner and I also share a grocery shopping list and everytime one of us add's an item or ticks it off as complete an email is being sent out to notify us. There is no option that I can find to turn on or off notifications for Reminder lists. I can't even find how to share/unshare Reminder lists anymore.


The only thing I've worked out to do for my original problem and now this other one is to go to my gmail and my partners yahoo mail and set up filters filtering all noreply@icloud.com emails to another folder so they don't crowd my inbox. Not really a solution but helps.

I've tried that too and not working for me.


Spent an hour and a half on the phone to Apple Support the other day, wasn't too painful actually, the tech's were lovely (got escalated a few times and ended with a senior Consultant). He's following it up with the iCloud.com engineers and keeping me updated via email. I'll let you know when I know anything.
