How to avoid opening mail when accepting iCal event invitation

Can someone tell me how I can prevent Mail to send a reply when I accept an invitation in iCal?
This is very irritating.
Thanks in advance
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
I wrote iCal Reply Checker to help with this issue. It only works with local calendars though.
Best wishes

Outlook Users Can't Accept iCal event invites

Microsoft Outlook users can't accept my event invites from iCal.
I already searched through all the possible prefs and settings... at least I think I have.
Can anyone help?
THX!
A.Che

To clarify this issue - (as I am having a similar issue)...
From iCal I can easily accept and respond to meeting requests sent to me from a person using Outlook 2003
The problem is the other way round - My meeting requests from iCal do not seem to be accepted by Outlook. I am generating an email that has a *.ics file extension and it is being sent via mail, but when the recipient (using Outlook 2003) receives the email, it is formatted as plain text and does not have a file attachment.
When that person forwards the message back to me, it DOES have the attachment still attached (which I can open on my own PC).
What is the trick to sending an iCal meeting request to an Outlook user so that they can add it to their calendar (and respond to the request)?? Apparently they receive a plain text email with an attachment that is named "Untitled Attachment" which is then empty (~200 bytes)
Here is a picture of what I am talking about (that they receive in Outlook):

How to avoid opening websites when i click or press enter

I'm facing problem with safari. Unwanted websites open on any click or when pressing enter

You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

How to avoid the dialogue when converting from context menu

This is a follow-up to http://forums.adobe.com/message/2016146#443364 which was locked due to a bug.
i would like to know how i can avoid the 'save as' dialogue when using the context menu to convert a word file to pdf using windows XP/acrobat 8/word 2007.
so far, it always prompts me for the filename, which is annoying as it does not allow me to batch-convert several files and let the thing run its course.
the solution provided by Steve in the other thread does not work - even if the plugin from word does not propt for a filename, it still does when triggered from explorer/context menu.
so back to square one: how to avoid that dialogue when not opening word at all?
cheers, thanks for any help. michael

For a permanent change, START>PRINTERS>right click on Adobe PDF printer and select properties>General>Printing Preferences>Adobe PDF Settings. Under the settings tab, uncheck the box related to asking for a name. Pretty sure that is the location, but it may vary with version.

How to avoid launching Labview when invoking VI by Teststand

Hi, friends.
I'm a learner of teststand. I wrote some VIs by Labview. Now I want to invoke them in teststand environment. But when I run the sequence. Labview will be automatically launched. How to avoid launching Labview when I run the sequence?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm not sure that I follow what you are saying.. But it sounds like when the VI is called, the LabVIEW development software is started and you want to avoid that.
If you create an executable or dll and call that from within TestStand, it should not call the development environment. You would need to have the LabVIEW run-time engine installed on the target PC.
It has been many years since I've used TestStand with LV, so my memory may not be accurate. I think the above had worked for me. However, it seems that I recall something about having the LV code in debug mode causing it to open the development environment.... but it's a distant memory. You're not using breakpoints where the LV VI is being called, are you?

If you are running Snow Leopard:
Go under the Mail menu and choose Preferences, then choose the Accounts tab. Under the box on the left you will see a + , click on it. This will add a new account. Now you must put in all the information needed to access that account.

Then reinstall OS X. See if that helps:
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Accepting iCal events

Does anyone know when I will be able to accept ical events on my iphone? Or if I can already - how?
Thanks

If you mean iCal events sent as email attachments (.ics files), those cannot currently be handled by the Mail app on the iPhone. No one on these user-to-user forums knows when or if Apple will implement that capability.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
Calendar invites sent directly (via MobileMe or MS Exchange) can be accepted on the iPhone.

Changing ical "accepted:mailto:" in iCal event invitation

Recently I've noticed that iCal has been sending the iCal event invitation with the incorrect "accepted:mailto:" email address. By looking at the raw source of the sent message you can see where the email address goes to when the user accepts the meeting invite.
Is there any way to change this embedded email address? Where is iCal getting this address from?
Thanks for the help,
Michel

Hi Guys,
I was able solve this problem by going into my addressbook, selecting preferences then "Template" and finally adding an extra email field to the template and setting the first email field to "home" and the second one to "work". Then closed the preferences and tested an iCal meeting invite. The reply accept email address now used my home email address.
Hope this helps.

Since upgrading to Lion, iCal event invitations are not working well.

Since upgrading to Lion last week, I am having problems with sending iCal event invitations to large groups of people (say 10 people or more). Although my iMac, iPhone, and iPad iCals show that invitations have been sent, only a few of those invited have actually received event invite emails.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any insight into the problem or solution?
Thanks in advance.

If you want.
or maybe install Snow Leopard using the disc it came on with my Mac and just set it up from a Time Machine Backup on my external hard drive (since it works under SL)?
Did you install Lion on an empty partition, or did you upgrade Snow Leopard? If you upgraded, I'd not recommend erasing it, since your backups are apparently gone. It's doubtful Snow Leopard will recognize them.
It's not just backups on the drive either, there are other important things on there, so why won't they show?
Mixing Time Machine backups and other data is not a good idea. See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. It sounds like the whole disk is corrupted.
I just really don't understand how this happened. Could it not be an issue with WD because they haven't issued firmware to support Lion yet?
If this is a simple external HD, connected by USB or FireWire, no, unless you installed some of WD's software on it. That shouldn't prevent it from being seen at all, but anything's possible.
