.ics file error : "iCal can't read this calendar file."

I would like to add my flight itinery to my iCal. Downloaded the .ics file from the BA website. When double clicking on it and dragging it to iCal this message pops up: "iCal can’t read this calendar file. No events have been added to your iCal calendar."

I also tried converting it to .vcs. Then iCal asks which calender I would like to add it to but still comes up with above message.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi!
I managed to import the file when I deleted everything that had to do with HTML code at the end of the file. I'm not exactly sure about the purpose of this code, but deleting it left me with my flights inside my calendar, exactly as I wanted.
HTH,
Michael

    How do I deal with this error message-"iCal can’t read this calendar file. No events have been added to your iCal calendar." ? .ics vs .vcs?
    Thanks

    Greetings,
    What version of the Mac OS and what version of iCal are you running?
    Are you using MobileMe calendars (or any other server based calendars like Google) in your iCal?
    While you answer those questions you can try the following troubleshooting:
    1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why do I get "iCal can't read this calendar file. No events have been added to your iCal calendar." when I am trying to sync an Apple Workshop appointment?

    I made a reservation for an Apple store workshop, but when I try to open the download in iCal (Lion) , I keep getting an "iCal cannot read this calendar file." message.  Very frustrating.  Any insights would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Fix for tiresome, "iCal can't read this calendar file. No events have..."

    I've read a hundred posts about this problem, but the typical answers--erase blank space at the top of the file, rename the file "ics", etc. don't work.
    When I attempt to open a calendar file from Delta.com and many other websites, I get this error:

    Hi,
    There are various reasons why iCal won't read that file.
    1. Spaces at the end of lines (eg after the last "END:VEVENT"). I'm not sure if this is incorrect, but iCal does not like it.
    2. The format of some of the dates/times is incorrect. (see http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.html#sec-4.3.12 and http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.html#sec-4.3.4 if you're interested).
    3. The UIDs for the two events are not unique. Perhaps this is something you edited? (see http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.html#sec-4.8.4.7 )
    This works in my iCal:

  • How can I read this xls file to vibration mkeasurement blocks??

    Hi,
    I want to use vibration toolkit to read and analyse
     measurements given in this file. First column is time data and second is measurement value in mV.
    Emir
    Attachments:
    SALKOx.xls ‏130 KB

    Hai,
    File I/O palette has a vi named "Read from spread sheet file.vi" that will read the file in specified path and gives the content of the file as
    2-D array.
    Read the measurement file with this vi and carry out the analysis.
    With regards,
    JK

  • Error message "can't sync this IPOD"- file missing?

    Evidently my sync file on my IPOD Classic can't be found.  Is this another Lion glitch?  My Canon MX860 printer won't work (not compatible with Lion either.

    Thank you so much for sending me this link!!!  At first I just backed up my computer from our Time Machine to the day before.  However I tried to reinstall the update and it did the same thing!  I did the fix stated and it worked!  YEA!!!!!! 

  • How can I read this avi file in Premiere?

    My friend gave me an avi file (created in AVS Video Editor) for me to synch the sound on, but I cannot get it to play in Premiere CS4. In Windows Media Player it plays the video but not sound, and in Premiere it plays neither. Do I need to download a codec or something? Please advise.
    audio codec 0x0055 MPEG-1 Layer 3
    44100Hz 256 kb/s tot, Stereo
    (codec installed)
    video codec H264
    name H.264/MPEG-4 AVC

    Along with Harm's suggestion, this ARTICLE will give you more background on AVI (and MPEG, MOV, WMV, etc.) wrappers, and how to always be able to "peek" inside those wrappers to see what exactly is inside.
    For adjusting sync, if you are having any issues, this ARTICLE might be useful too.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • When I try to install Itunes, I get this error: (translated from Norwegian) There was a network error while trying to read from the file: C: \ windows \ installer \ iTunes.msi I have tried many times to reinstall, but nothing helps, please help me.

    When I try to install Itunes, I get this error: (translated from Norwegian) There was a network error while trying to read from the file: C: \ windows \ installer \ iTunes.msi I have tried many times to reinstall, but nothing helps, please help me.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can anyone read this Apple crash report?

    Hi everyone!
    My iMac's been absolutely fine since I bought it. The Lion upgrade was smooth. I upgraded on the first day Lion became available.
    In the past week, I keep getting every other day a progressive gray screen and a warning that the computer needs to restart. I've no idea what's causing the crash... it happens when I have the standard suite of apps running (Mail, iTunes, Safari, etc) so no exotic application.
    Here's a crash report. Can anyone read this and pin point the problem?
    Thanks!

    Local Mac shop said to hold down "c" after inserting disk to get "disk utility" to come up in order to wipe hard drive.  I can't seem to get it to do this.

    This W7 was purchased for using Fusion, as others did - per reviews from amazon.  The technician today called their contact at VMWare - Fusion not officially for use with Lion - even though I read at the VMWare support site that others have made it work.  Apparently my setup doesn't work. 
    Do you know how to do the proceedure for bringing up the disk utility when starting the disk?
    BTW, some of the windows applications I want to continue using are Incredimail, Calendarscope, Stamps.com and a few others I have used over many years.  What do you use for email and calendar?
    Wow, sounds like another reason to not use MS Windows.
    Regarding your Disk Utility question, please elablorate I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Disk Utilty is just that...a utility, it's something most users never have to use especially on a new computer. Let me know what you're trying to do there before I give you some instructions.
    As for as your Windows apps I would recommend using Mail and iCal, both come as part of OS X and are very robust tools. Don't discount the software built right into OS X it's very robust and powerful not all like the bloatware most Windows boxes ship with. Stamps.com well I'd look for another alternative. It's clear they don't support OS X which makes me a little suspicious that they're so behind the times. 
    Also if you have not been exposed to these links before I'd strongly recommend bookmarking them and using them. They're extermely useful!

    PS. there was error in posting this text ("invalid HTML found" hopefully this is correct)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yep, there was an error doing the calendar sync...There are a host of reasons:
    incompatible fields
    prior versions of syncing software still on computer
    cache not cleared
    calendar data in the wrong folder
    too many calendars in iCal and on device....
    the list goes on

  • Can't Read from Source File

    Hi Guys
    I'm using PPr CS5 on Win7 64bit.
    I'm not sure if this is strictly for here but can I pick your brains please? I edited in PPr and exported three versions of the same video to AVI (mainly different intros and titles) and they all play fine. I back up my movies to an external disk but one of them always creates an error in the back-up "Can't Read from Source File". The file sizes are 5.3gb for the offending movie and 8.3 for the other two.
    I know the answer is to re-export the movie but I'm just trying to get a bit of a handle what could have caused this problem in the first place and if this is a common problem?
    Any views?
    Regards,
    Graham

    That doesn't help much.  What exactly are you doing when you get the error message?
    Are you trying to open a PP project which contains the file?
    Are you trying to play a sequence which has clips from that file?
    Are you trying to play it in a media player?
    Are you trying to import the file into PP?

  • I am trying to import for Sony RAW .mxf files in AE. I get an error message, cannot be imported - this.mxf file is damages or unsupported.

    I am on a PC. AE version 12.1.0.168. It is updated.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem. We are working on a feature film shot on Sony F55 in 4K RAW.

    Thanks. Now it works in PP and AE.

    First, your AE needs to be updated. The current version is 12.2.1.5
    If that does not fix the problem let us know.
    Second question, are you using the Sony import utility? If not, give that a try. Last question, can you open the files in Premiere Pro? I hope you are not trying to cut a feature film in After Effects.

    Hope someone has some ideas, cause I'm out. 
    The error (We can't Read the package) doesn't really tell me much.
    I have tried to upload this package for a couple weeks and I did see some information one time about a "username" variable not being valid. I have not be able to reproduce the information about "username" for several

  • ICal unable to import this .vcs file

    I have tried various edits to this vcs file that a site I use generates but have not been able to have iCal successfully import the file. I get the error message when using "import a vCal file": "This calendar file is unreadable. No events have been added to your iCal Calendar." Any idea what I need to change to get iCal to import this vcs file ?
