ICal attachments? please help

In outlook we use the attachment option. For instance, if we have a mailing that needs to go out on a certain day, we'll schedule it, then add a template of what it should look like. Is there any way to do this in iCal? Thank you.

You can add an attachment to an iCal event by using a file reference in the URL field of the event's Info window. If people other than you need to access the file, it should be on a shared folder on your hard drive or a network volume.
Here's the syntax for a file reference on a local drive:
file:///Users/UserFolder/Sub%20Folder/name%20of%20file.ext
Begin the URL with "file:///Users/" and the name of the folder within the Users folder. This will usually be the same as your user name. Finish the path to the file by adding subfolders and the name of the file (including the extension). Substitute spaces in volume, folder and file names with "%20". Please note that "ext" in the example refers to the file's 3-letter extension (ie, .txt, .doc, etc.).

  • My computer keeps saying "The server responded with "502" to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation." When I use iCal.  Please help.

    Every time I use iCal, my computer says, "The server responded with

    Same here....didn't see it within the first couple weeks of iCloud, but yesterday it popped up on both my Macbook and iMac.

  • Lost ALL of my iCal Events -- Please help!!

    I turned on my MacBook Pro today, opened iCal and ALL of my events were gone!
    I checked both calendars, checked all dates in the past and in the future. Checked all the settings, etc. Switched views. Rebooted. Everything that I can think of.
    The only thing that remained were the tasks, but all of the events have magically disappeared. Now I desperately need them! Ugh!
    I thought long and hard about what I may have done to mess up iCal, and I couldn't think of a single thing. I do not synch my Mac with any PDA's or other devices. I did not recently install any applications that might touch iCal data. In short, I have no f-ing clue what happened to my iCal data! And I desperately need it. (And yes, my idiotic a$$ did not back it up.) Argh!
    Does anyone have any clue how to recover my iCal data / troubleshoot this issue?
    Please help.
    Thanks!

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • I just erased all my contacts on accident while trying to fix an ical syncing problem.  Please help!

    Hello There,
    I have NO idea what just happened.  I am trying to stay calm here.  Please help.
    I have been trying to fix the fact that my iphone calendar isn't sending info to my ical on my MacBook Pro.  I followed some instructions I found in a forum and then unplugged my phone haphazardly by not ejecting it from iTunes... I just pulled it off the cord and all my contacts erased in a blink of an eye.  Here's the instructions I followed.  Please tell me how I can get them back!  Can I call AT&T? BTW... the instructions didn't fix the ical problem either.
    (These are the instructions I tried from http://iphonewriter.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues.h tml) I added my own sidenote in Bold.
    Here's the down and dirty fix:
    Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.) 
    ***When I re-opened ical nothing was gone but I followed the following steps anyways.***
         5.  Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
         6.  Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
         7.  Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
    That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.

    Hi,
    Can't you restore your iPhone via iTunes and use the "restore from last backup". I know when I has my phone replaced this copied all my contacts (from my last sync)back to my phone.
    Hope that helps

  • Since switching from Chrome, I can't print .pdf attachments directly from my gmail. Please help.

    It used to be (in Chrome) that I could view a .pdf attachment in gmail and from there print. Now in Firefox, when I view a .pdf attachment the print option is there and the print dialogue box comes up when I click it, but once I hit "OK" nothing comes out of the printer. I can print emails and other items, so it's not a printer connectivity problem or a problem with the print setup in Firefox. The only items affected are .pdf attachments in my gmail account. I've tried switching .pdf readers and turning off Protected Mode in Adobe. Please help!

    What PDF reader r u use and what version is it?

  • PLEASE HELP!!! Ical is BLANK!

    Think I did something very stupid and managed to delete some important files which really messed up my Mac, but I have managed to import most of the files from my back-up external hard drive and things are back to normal... almost!
    Problem is my ical has been completely wiped. It contains nothing. I was wondering how to get all the information back... will it be stored on my external hard drive somewhere (I backed up my hard drive and applications before I deleted things).
    Please help, I am new to Mac and can't find where it stores all the files for various applications
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussions, Lanfears.The calendar files are stored in the Application Support/iCal in the Library folder in your home directory, so if you can find where that was backed up just use it to replace the new one that iCal will have made.

  • Depair...need to reinstall ical tried eveything please help

    Hi there
    I have contacted apple to sort out my issues with Ical, unfortunetly they told me that I needed to reinstall however I've only just found my original disks
    I have deleted markspace sync, Ical and my preferences
    I found the ical.pkt file on my disk but it said it was performing an upgrade??
    Ive opened the ical after this install and it quit, which is exactly the problem I have been having that Apple couldnt fix
    What else can I try
    Please help as I want to start using my new Nokia e61 with my mac and right now, I have a lot of data backed up from ical which I cant access

    If you haven't seen it yet, you might want to try the move described in the post 'iCal crashes' in this forum. It seems to work! My iCal used to crash 1 or 2 seconds after I started it, and now, after doing the things described in 'iCal crashes' it has been running for 10 minutes... So I can't guarantee any long term success, yet.

  • Setting up iCal on the Mac OS X Server - please help if you can!

    Trying to set up an iCal on our Mac OSX Server for just four of us at my small business. I spent all of yesterday trying to figure this out (i'm fairly novice), and I've had no luck. This is what I have done so far:
    I created an open directory on our server, went into server admin -> services and checked iCal, open directory, and DNS (is this right?)
    Then I created a group in workgroup manager and added the clients to the group.
    I opened iCal and went to add an account. If i didn't put anything in the server details section it would just say that I don't have any configured principals - what does this mean??
    Typed in the user information and copied a million different combinations of this in the account url spot:
    http://my.server.com:8008/principals/groups/groupshortname/. typing things like
    http://(my ip address here):8008/principals/groups/groupshortname/.
    http://(what i think is my server address here):8008/principals/groups/groupshortname/ical.
    and then it says server refused, or address could not be found, etc.
    i do not know what to do. please help.
    thanks,
    ryan

    Hello ryankarolak, and Welcome to the AppleBoards,
    Setting up iCal Server is a little complicated in that you need to do several things in the right order. If you don't have DNS from another source you'll need good DNS set-up for many of the OS X Server services to function correctly. But I'm a little unsure of what your next move is since you didn't give any details about your server set-up or your office network lay-out.
    You should be aware that there is an entire group dedicated to iCal Server here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1234
    This other board is really the best place to search and find previous threads and post questions with the best chance of getting knowledgeable eyes on them. This forum is really for Xserve specific questions and isn't the best place to get OS X Server services questions answered - people will help out if they can but dedicated groups exist for some of the more complicated issues.
    Good luck,

  • ICal drop down menu is black Please Help!!

    How do I change my I-Cal back to a color where I can actually view what is on the drop down menu. Right now when I look at it, it is black and I can't set the times and alerts and alarm. Please Help

    I am also having the same problem and I have noticed that the calendar icon in my dock only shows the date in black and not the calendar background photo until I start iCal then the icon shows up with the background icon. When I quit iCal the background disappears again and only the date number is visible. Very odd. Both of these problems started when I upgraded iCal a while back and the problem has persisted for over a year now. Not sure what the problem is.

  • ICal shuts down. PLEASE HELP!

    Having tried to sync my iPhone with my computer recently I received the message that there were 4 conflicts. This did not make sense as I checked and there were no conflicts. Since then iCal on my computer keeps shutting down and I can't use it. My life is falling apart! Please Help !!

    Hi cpnbill,
     Sounds like you have had some unluck with your board. Can you check it for signs of damage, there is especially one component near the PCI slots (I think on the edge of the board) that is infamous for burning out on the K8N Neo. Is there any component with discolouration or the smell of burning.
     People who have seen your problem reported the following..
    Near the bottom corner of the motherboard on the PCI slot side, right between the small capacitor and the orange PCI slot and also next to the green 1394 firewire headers there is some unrecognizable component completely burned to ash. Funny thing is the only sign of anything frying is the orange pci slot has black soot on the bottom of it but there are no scorch marks on the opposite side of the motherboard at all.
    I wonder if this has happened to anyone else. I've never seen a non-capacitor component burn itself to ash randomly after 7 months of use without any issues/instabilities.
    I'm really lucky this thing didn't fry everything. Hard to believe that this component litterally burned itself to ash on the motherboard and voltages to other components were kept stable until the component stopped working.
     Very worthy of an RMA (hope you dont get a recond back)..

    How can I stop auto download of attachments without tapping on them? Once I open a mail, the attachment automatically starts downloading, though it is written as "tap to download". Please help..

    To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to prevent the automatic downloading of the SD version when you buy an HD show.
    You can, if you wish, suggest that the ability to prevent the SD version from downloading through the iTunes feedback page. But since the SD version is needed for use on iPods and there at least at present is no mechanism for someone to download the SD version at a later time should they decide they need it, Apple may just continue to force the downloading of both versions. If they get enough feedback on the issue, though, they may figure something out.

  • TS3991 Please help -- my iCal data has disappeared from iCloud website!

    Hi -- I just opened iCal via the iCloud website on my MacBook Air.  My calendar data appeared for a flash, then disappeared -- now almost ALL of my calendar data is completely gone from the iCloud website.  I checked the calendar app on my iPhone 4 and the data is still there, so I turned on Airplane Mode on my phone hoping the blank calendar wouldn't sync to my phone that way.  My contacts seem to still be there.
    Please help -- where did the data go, and how can I get it back onto the iCloud website?  Thanks in advance!

    Thank you.  You may have been right about the server glitch.  After hours, literally, on the phone with Support trying to load the calendar from my phone, and finally giving up, my calendar on the website was magically restored 24 hours later. 
    I'm guessing I'm not the only one this happened to, and that they restored to an earlier version for me and whomever else's data was lost.  Pretty scary, actually -- and annoying! 
    Thanks again for your help.
