Can't open meeting requests sent to iPhone from MS Outlook

Mobile Me pushes email from my PC-based MS Outlook 2007 to my iPhone. Emails arrive with no problem, including all attachments...apart from Outlook Calendar meeting requests.
These arrive as an email with an attachment that reads "mime-attachment.ics". I can't do anything with this attachment, i.e. read date, time, place of appointment, or respond to it (accept, reject), or insert it into the calendar on the iPhone.
The only way to access the meeting request is to read it on my PC, respond to it and transfer it to iPhone via a normal synch using the USB.
Any help gratefully received.

I know exactly what problem you're having. It's not a syncing issue. This is a recognized and reported issue. Any Microsoft Outlook Calendar invitation comes into your IPhone as an email with the .ics file attached to update your calender. The IPhone operating system does not recognize nor have any instructions as to what to do with a .ics file. When I discovered this a couple months ago, I researched and found out it has been reported to Apple. Some have speculated that the issue might be addressed in Release 3.0 but I haven't heard.
This is a significant issue for those of us who use the IPhone for business. From a novice's standpoint, it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to put in a few lines of code to recognize and then write the entry to the calendar. But then seems like Apple doesn't seem like it's a priority.
Hope Apple is monitoring this forum. This is my first post.

  • I can't open any pictures sent to me SMS or IMS text on my iPhone 6.

    I can't open any pictures sent to me SMS or IMS text on my iPhone 6. The text bubble shows downloading, but the pictures aren't opening.

    close out of the message app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    then do a reset, no data loss. hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up then check message again.

  • TS3899 I can't open some attachments on my iphone or ipad?

    I can't open some attachments on my iphone or ipad. The little paper clip shows on the side but there is no attachment or file in the body of the email to click on to. It's not with all emails - all of the time???  This has happened on with older and the new iOS software. 

    why is it that I can't delete some photos on my iPhone and iPad?
    And in addition to gail's list: if you try to delete edited photos in iPhoto, they will remain on your device. To be able to delete them completely, revert the photo to original before deleting.
    See:  http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/?lang=en#blnkb9b1e2a
    If you delete a photo from the Photos app on your device, the photo is deleted in iPhoto (unless the photo has been edited, captioned, tagged as a favorite, or used in a web journal, slideshow, or photo book).

  • I can not open any downloads sent to my computer,

    Please help me.  I can not open any downloads sent to my computer.  Every email with a download, comes up with "...contains a virus..."  I think it might be a firewall (don't know that for a fact) but it was happening before I installed the Fix-It Utilities11 and now it happens all the time.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks for reading this post.

    H PWillis,
    It is probably just me - I am not particularly trusting - I hate "trial period" software.  I don't know recognise Fix-It Utilities 11; I did call it up and look at the webpage for it and read the cover page...
    http://www.pcworld.com/article/216429/finetune_you​r_pc_with_fixit_utilities_11_professional.html
    In My Opinion:
    Whatever Fix-It might be doing, it doesn't seem to have fixed anything.  It is possible your system is so badly infected that you are in the "badlands" of virus-ville; on the other hand, the sort of "horror message" seems a bit over the top for a tool that is supposed to fix your computer.  The page I read compared this software to Registry Mechanic and that makes me cringe.
    IMO, remove this Fix-It software from your computer.
    Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features > find and remove it
    Reboot
    Install some decent Anti-Virus software and run a deep scan on your computer.  I will recommend two free ones.  You can try one or both - not at the same time; remove one if you want to try the next.  I will provide a web page so you can check on other products.
    I have used the Avast Free version in the past; I now use the licensed version.  We also have the free AVG on at least one system.  There are other good products.  The point is to use something to thoroughly sweep your system for issues and make sure it is healthy.
    NOTE:  To run either (any) of the Anti-Virus products that I mention, you MUST remove Norton (if you have it on your system).  Norton Security does not mix with other security software.  It will complain when you try to remove it.  Just tell it to go away and it will do so if you insist.  Restart (Reboot) you computer after removing Norton and before installing other Anti-Virus Security Software...  Norton is removed from Programs and Features (above).
    Anti-Virus Software:
    Avast Anti-Virus
    AVG Anti-Virus
    If you would like other recommendations for Antivirus Software, you can check out Microsoft’s own page on the subject, where you can find links to many companies who provide Windows 7 compatible products.

    Once you have done a thorough check of your computer, come back and let us know if you still have issues!
    I hope this helps!

  • 5 months passed and I didn't receive an item. and I can't open a request (no more option)

    5 months passed and I didn't receive an item. and I can't open a request (no more such an option). the item is new hot European women car pattern handbag fashion shoulder messenger bag ( 181348649935 ) 

    Oh dear.EBay only allows 45 days for a dispute to be opened for Item Not Recieved.Normal delivery, in my experience, would be15 days from Europe*20 days from North America30 days from Asia.**At that point, you should be asking the seller for the date of shipping, the service used and the tracking number. It is not important that the seller have a tracking number, on low cost items there won't be one. You want his response.If the response is unsatisfactory (anything less than a useable tracking number or a full refund is unsatisfactory) then move to the Dispute within 45 days. Since January, Paypal has allowed refund claims to be opened for 180 days. That's six months but act today.So you should go to your PP account and look for the Resolution Centre on the left side of your Payments page.You will need the number of the PP transaction. If the seller cannot prove delivery, he will be required to refund your original payment. If he doesn't , PP will refund you and go after the seller for their money. Hard. If neither works, you can try going to the credit card you really paid with (PP is really just a useful mediator) and phone the 1-800 number on the card. Ask the customer service rep about a chargeback. So you have three levels of protection.Go get your money.   *Europeans tend to ship by Air Mail.**Asian sellers will tell you it takes longer. Maybe, but usually this is a sign that you are being scammed.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You'd be best setting up a second user account on the computer and then set up iTunes under your user account with your ID.

  • Meeting request in SharePoint calendar from Outlook 2010

    Hi,
    I've connected a SharePoint calendar to my Outlook 2010 client and wish to manage this calendar from within Outlook 2010 itself. When I try to request a new meeting in this calendar from Outlook, I am able to do everything as normal, but when the meeting
    request is synchronised, it comes up with the following error:  
    I can see the item in the Local Failures folder but it does get sync'd soon after and appears in the SharePoint calendar list on the SharePoint site itself. However, when viewing the item in Outlook, it is an appointment, not a meeting.
    I've seen this article - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926440. Does this mean you can't create meeting requests in SharePoint calendars?
    Can anyone shed some light on what is possible and what isn't? I don't want to have to create a meeting workspace for every meeting required.
    Many thanks

    OK, thanks for clearing that up.

    What arrow?
    Have you tried opening the file in FCP?
    If there is no error message and it will not play in QT7, it is quite possible the file is corrupted. You will need to go back to the original project and re-export the file.
