Ics file not accepted when coming from Outlook users

Hello,
I am using iCal version 3.08 (1287) and I checked with a friend on iCal 4.03 (1388) and the trouble is the same.
When I receive invitation from my Windows colleague, I got :
This calendar file is unreadable. No events have been added to your iCal calendar

  • Error -43 file not found when exporting from QT Pro 7.5

    I get the error -43 (a file could not be found) when trying to export into any format from within Quicktime Pro 7.5 (861) which i believe is the most current version. I also cannot perform a simple "save as" to save my video into another name, i dont get an error message for that one, but it just doesnt do anything. Im not sure if there is any point placing this on this forum, but maybe someone at Apple is interested in offering a little support...?

    OK so i found the solution myself - seems apple programmers have been not doing their jobs properly, to get this working the file name of the video that i want exported cannot be anything other than in 8.3 format (like old MS-DOS) but it's more than that, even if you do have the file in 8.3 format it still cant be in a directory that has a name longer than 8 characters, or which has spaces in it etc. so in my case i copied my video to c:\temp and renamed all of them to the old MS-DOS 8.3 format, now the export works... amazing I wonder how long i would have waited for apple support if i hadnt resolved this myself.

  • Files Not Available after switch from Outlook to Apple Mail.

    I have a bunch of files that can't be opened now that I have a new iBook with OS10. I've tried opening them in Classic (9.2) with Outlook, nothing. Even my translation software can't make heads or tails of these files, which not long ago were legitimate documents. HELP?
    Is there someone willing to receive a file or two from me to try and figure this out? They are virus free, but I can't take responsibility for them on your side.
    Thanks,

  • Teststand sequence file not locking when locked from a labview running vi

    Hi guys,
    ok, here's the issue that I have:
    I'm running a vi (directly in labview) which is supposed to lock a sequence file in Teststand (with a level 2 protection), but it doesn't have any effect on the sequence file. (the file remains unlocked).
    The vi runs just fine, and the strange part is that when I read the lock status (property node in labview) of the sequence file afterwards it appears as "True" (i.e the file has been locked).
    (Note: Teststand is closed while running the vi, then I open it to check if the sequence is locked or not)
    However, integrating this same vi as step in a separate sequence file in teststand, and running it, will work. Why? Is it possible to
    lock a sequence directly by running the vi in labview?
    Attached to this message is the block diagram of the vi.
    The relevant inputs are:
    SequencePath -- sequence file to be locked
    Password -- password used to lock file
    Version -- Also sets the version of the file
    If anyone can help clarify this, I'd appreciate 
    Thanks

    Hi gabolt,
    Would you mind answering a few questions for me regarding this issue?
    1. Have you tried reading the "locked" property of an unlocked sequence file before setting any properties? Does it read false?
    2. What happens if you try to run the VI on a locked sequence file?
    3. Are there any differences in the data you are passing to the VI in TestStand versus the inputs you are using when running the VI alone?
    4. When TestStand locks the file using the VI, are you able to use the password you assigned to unlock it?
    5. Is the version number saved when you run the VI from LabVIEW?
    Thank you!

  • Quicktime Movie Files Not Opening when sent from iLife

    REcently, my mom and dad have sent me QT files recently via email and I've been unable to open them. Here is the strange part...they just emailed them to me using the "share" feature within imovie and/or iphoto. The files compressed fine and emailed w/o problem. I was unable to open them which I think is very odd.
    Is there a problem with QT anyone know of out there? I'm using QT 7.1.5. My parents are both using the most recent ilife suite and QT.

    I have emailed an avi file to friend with aol mail address. When trying to open file quicktime error message says it is not a movie. When I used quicktime pro to mail the file it changed file to a .mim . Cannot find a program on their windows machine that will play the .mim file. How can you e-mail avi files in a way that windows users can view them ?

  • Admin login not accepted when shutting down multiple users

    Hi all
    This one is curious. I have a client with a MacBook Pro, 10.5.7, on which she has an admin account and a standard account for guests. I also have created an admin account so I can run updates without needing her password. Both admin accounts work just fine and authorize correctly for logging in, making system updates and unlocking system preferences.
    However, when she's been using Fast User Switching to go between the admin and standard accounts, and the standard account is still logged in, trying to shut down from the admin account gives the dialog "There are currently logged in users who may lose unsaved changes...". This dialog presents a blank user and password (ie, the admin name is not auto-filled), and the trouble is, entering ANY of the admin names and passwords (which, remember, work fine in other contexts) results in an "Invalid user name or password" window.
    None of the names have non-ASCII characters, and I've tried both short and long versions of the names. I even created a new admin user, and tried that, and it also failed. I have repaired permissions.
    Anyone know what might be going on?
    EDIT: I should have checked the KB first - apparently it's a known issue. I'll try this and report back.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2317
    Thanks!

    I have found that sometimes the full administrator name is required, not the short name.
    I don't know why - I thought my short name used to work.

  • TS3276 My o2 email account does not work when sending from my MAC it will accept incoming mail but not send it gives me a message that  o2 account (offline) my mac I have no problem with my iPhone  or mac laptop. any suggestions please.

    My o2 email account does not work when sending from my MAC it will accept incoming mail but not send it gives me a message that  o2 account (offline) my mac I have no problem with my iPhone  or mac laptop. any suggestions please.

    Sorry for the delay...
    I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
    I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
    Thanks for the help, anyway!!

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • Separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010

    Working with Windows 7 Enterprise, Outlook 2010.  We've set up our desk printers to print a separator page with the user's name, as several people use the same printers in our building.  Printing from IE, Word, etc. all work fine, and it'll print
    out the correct username on the separator page.
    When anyone attempts to print an Outlook email, it instead prints out my username.  We've found that it doesn't happen if they click on the "quick print" button, but it happens every time if they do "file > Print" or Ctrl+P.

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you that separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
    To create a custom separator page file, use a text editor such as
    Notepad. On the very first line, type one single character, and then press
    Enter. The character on this line defines the character used as an escape character. For example, the following list assumes that this character is the at sign (@).
    Enter the escape codes for the functions you want, and then save the file with an .sep extension in the Windows System32 subfolder.
    In the Print Manager, select the printer that you want to use the separator page file with, and then click
    Choose Properties on the Printer menu.
    Click
    Details, specify the name of the desired separator page file in the
    Separator File box, and then click OK.
    Note:
    Put the custom separator page file in one of the following locations:
    In the %Windir%System32 folder.
    In a folder whose path contains a SepFiles folder. For example:
    Drive:\Folder\SepFiles\Subfolder
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • Why does FCP error "File Not Found" when I try to open my sequences????

    I recently updated all of my software and the following day I started getting errors "file not found" when I would try to open a sequence. Now all of my sequences are being lost and I am losing time and money because I can't meet deadlines! This *****!!! With one sequence I had to reedit the entire thing from scratch and when I did for some reason the old one would then open. But the next time I opened FCP both sequences would error out. Following the "file not found" the computer responds with another error "error: out of memory" What the devil is going on with this crap?

    I seem to have figured out what my problem was. After trying to build the same project (that failed on the Mac Pro) on my laptop and encountering the same errors, I realized that the problem had to be with one or more of my assets and not my new version of FCP, since my PowerBook is running FCP 5.0.4 and my Mac Pro is running FCP 5.1.2.
    In my case the "corrupt" file was a Photoshop PSD file. In the past (FCP 4.5) I was able to use PSD files with hidden layers. I would merge the visible layers into one layer, keep the hidden layers and save the file. Once in FCP, I imported the PSD file and kept right on truckin'. I've done this for years. For some reason now with FCP 5.1.2 (and 5.0.4), that's not flying anymore. Once I "Flattened" the PSD file in Photoshop (deleting all of the hidden layers) I was able to build the project without any errors.
    Interestingly, the technique I used to figure out which file was "corrupt" also allowed me to salvage parts of some of my "lost" sequences. I saw this posted in a forum at Creative Cow (creativecow.net). Basically, I opened up the project, clicked the OK button after the File Not Found error, went into the Browser, right clicked on the offending sequence, selected "Make Offline". When I double clicked the sequence it opened in the timeline with all of my assets offline. Then in the timeline, one by one, I right clicked on each clip and selected "Reconnect Media". Once I linked up the media, if I didn't get an error message, I would save as a new project (to salvage what WAS working), and go to the next clip. I did this until I found the offending PSD files.
    I hope this helps. Now it's time to play "catch-up"

  • Access 2010 on 64 Bit Windows 7 Access "Not Responding" when changing from forms view to design view and back

    I am running
    Windows 7 64 bit
    Access 2010 32 bit
    Developing an application with a split FE BE with both files local but continue to have the message "Not Responding" when switching from forms view to design view and back as well as if I try to connect to a subform or object on the sub form.

    I have seen this behavior when the form's RecordSource is a complex query such as a crosstab or a query with several nested queries. To test if this is your case, remove the RecordSource and see if the form starts acting normal again.
    Then again, if the form has several subforms they might be slowing up the loading time.

  • Are .mp4 files not supported when trying to merge 2 videos into 1 video?

    Are .mp4 files not supported when trying to merge 2 videos into 1 video? The steps in the manual seem simple enough.  But the paste function won't work on the 1st video after selecting all and then copy on the 2nd video.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
