Appointment attachment will not open...

When I attach a file to an appointment in iCal and I double click the attachment, nothing happens. I am attaching a pages file but I've tried jpg's, txt's, and mp4's with no success. Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I'm using the Leopard version of iCal. Have attached PDF documents to a couple appointments. Try double clicking the appointment, the info bubble appears. Then press the space bar to get an iCal preview of the PDF document. Also, double-clicking the attachment in the bubble seems to work as well (opens the PDF with Preview). Haven't tried any other attachment types yet.
Can't seem to get these attachments to appear on the iMac at home via .mac. It's my impression that the attachments are supposed to sync with the appointments. Guess I'll look for another thread on that topic.

  • PDF e-mail attachment will not open after FF update

    FF 31 and/or 32
    Outlook or GroupWise fat client
    PDF attachments
    After FF updated PDF's were re-associated with FF not the installed PDF program. Used Windows to re associate PDF's to PDF program. No problem, all PDF's open in PDF program UNLESS the PDF is an attachment in an e-mail.
    Open e-mail fat client (doesn't matter the client) try and open the PDF and user gets message stating there is no program associated with attachment. Yet, all PDF's still open with correct PDF program as long as they are not in the e-mail. Now here's the really weird part.....
    If there are two or more PDF's attachments in the same e-mail the first one will not open but the second, thirds, etc attached PDF's will open with the correct PDF program.
    The only temporary solution I have found is to uninstall FF, re-install it and for a 1/2 day the issue goes away. I have not figured out the trigger that resets the issue.
    FF is my go-to browser, but since v 31 this has been happening and if it keeps up, I'm switching to Chrome.
    Come on Tech Support, help us out with this issue.

    Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
    When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
    However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
    # Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
    # Edit->Preferences
    # In the Categories column click 'General'
    # Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
    # In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
    # A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
    Does that resolve the issue for you?

  • Audio attachment will not open and play on Ipad4 but works fine on PC. Any suggestions?

    I have been sent an audio attachment in an email to a Hotmail account. It opens and plays fine on my PC but will not open on my Ipad. I get a pop up wanting to forward the attachment from my Comcast email account but neither will open and play it. Any suggestions?

    I kept looking and found this answer in an Ipad forum from IpadJunkie. "Try the OPlayerHD lite app...free. When pressing and holding the WMA attachment select open with OPlayer and it works fine."

  • Pdf attachment will not open or cannot find

    Recently downloaded new Reader.
    pdf does not open for me to see.
    Will download and I have the option to open or save.
    either way it shows these functions happen, but I cannot find the pdf, even if saved to desktop to open later.
    Cannot open files or print those files.
    I did not change anything on the install, just let it run.
    How do I fix this issue, where did the files download to, or where are they hiding????????
    By the way using Windows Vista.
    any help appreciated,

  • Attachment will not open

    I cannot get my MacBook Pro (Maverick) to open attachments.  When I click on the attachment numbers, it opens and asks me to choose the application to open this attachment.  In the case of the attachment I'm trying to open now, it is a spreadsheet, it is sent from another mac, and both of our number app.  are updated. I would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thank you

    Try: save attachment to Desktop, select file and ⌘I and then click the Opens With dropdown and select Numbers
    You can also option-click the file and select Opens With... then select Numbers

  • Email attachment will not open

    I tap the space beside the attachment (within the email) and the download bar reaches the end.  The next screen states the following:
    "Empty Slideshow ToGo Project"
    and the screen is frozen.  The only way to get back to email is to use the Blackberry Hub icon on the application screen.  Any thoughts on a solution for opening attachments?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    After calls to Blackberry and to AT&T (plus internal tech support) my issue corrected itselt when I re-loaded the application DocsToGo.  Evidently, the application was corrupted.

  • Email with attachment will not open

    The minute I tap to open an email on my Lumia 920 which has an attachment the display reverts to the desktop. I cannot even read the email because all I get is a flash of the email and it reverts to the desktop. All other emails open normally.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    does it happen with EVERY email that has an attachment, from anyone? or just certain file types.

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Iphone 4s on ios7 will not open or save ics email attachment

    My iphone 4s on ios7 will not open or save ics email attachments so I can update my calendar. I have to open them on my PC and then iCloud will sync my updated calendar across all my devices with no problem. However, when I don't have access to my PC I would like to be able to open the ics calendar item (or save it) on my iPhone so I can see what meeting or conference I have been invited to so I can reply promptly and keep my calendar up to date without needing to wait till I have access to my PC.

    The exact same thing described above is happening me too and by the looks of this and other forums, its happening alot of people.
    I have tried restoring from new and a DFU restore and nothing works.
    Think Apple need to own up that this is a real flaw with the iPhone 4 and offer a repair or recall.

  • How can I save a page offline? the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open.

    the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open anything - can't I save the page as a single offline file?

    This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
    I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
    Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
    There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
    You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
    As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
    Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

  • IPhoto will not open at all

    This is a strange one!  iPhoto will not open - I get the message that it is not the right version or something - see attached.  (StartUp drive is SCS Mac 500HD)
    OK so I take my 36 hour old full SuperSuper! Backup and make that the startup drive - D1-LaCie 505gb MBP BkUp2.  I use iPhoto (from the backup or the "main" drive) and both work fine-- all libraries from both HD's as well as other internal and external drives work (yes, I have a second internal HD on my MBP-13" - removed the DVD drive).
    So I am guessing this has to do with something corrupt in the iPhoto plist on my main drive or ???? something.  The HD's all have been verified and are perfect; and disk permissions have been repaired.
    Any comments on what to "trash" / "rebuild" or ??? --- again, all works perfectly when I startup from my BackUp FireWire external HD.  All iPhoto libraries open just fine. 
    THANKS!  I'll keep experimenting but haven't found a solution yet.

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

    You are rude, to say the least.  It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible.  Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe.  The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with.  I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.
