Q: Received 2 appointments, same date, same content, just different hours. Since then I receive message from iCal: Access to “Subject” in account “iCloud” is not permitted. The server responded "403" to CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation. It's a bug!

Received 2 appointments from a customer, same date, same content, just different hours. Since then I receive message from iCal: Access to “Subject” in account “iCloud” is not permitted. The server responded "403" to CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation. In my opinion this is a bug, because iCloud is not able to handle 2 appointments at the same date with same content, just at different hours. The different hours should be enough individuality for each event on calendar.

    I too have had this problem for years. It seems to be related to the following:

     

    I have an iCloud email address for personal use and a company email address for business use. Meeting requests sent to my iCloud email address work perfectly. I can receive invitations from Exchange servers and if I get a meeting change, the meeting changes as you expect it would in Calendar.

     

    However, if I get a meeting request to my company email address, the initial invitation creates a calendar event correctly. If I receive a meeting change, then I get the dreaded "The server responded "403" to CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation" error and all I can do is revert to server and the new meeting time is deleted from Calendar. Obviously this means I cannot use iCloud calendar to sync between devices using my business email address. Totally unusable for business!

     

    The error in the Console is as follows:

     

    <A:error xmlns:A="DAV:">

      <B:valid-attendee-change xmlns:B="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav"/>

      <F:error-description xmlns:F="urn:mobileme:davservices">Attendees are not allowed to overwrite one type with another. schedule / calendar</F:error-description>

    </A:error>

     

    Looking at the error description, it seems that iCloud thinks that the attendee (me) is trying to alter the meeting type. However, the change is coming from the Organiser. So it certainly looks like a bug. As to why the same error does not occur with iCloud email addresses I have no idea.

     

    If this is an official bug (like I hope it is!) where can I post my comments?
