Ios 7 cannot open mime-attachment.ics from outlook

I downloaded ios 7 the other day on my 4, and I cannot open my mime-attachment.ics from outlook. I have already deleted and reinstalled my mail account from which these files originate, without any success. Amy Ideas?

Hi all,
Same problem. None of the suggestions worked for me. Even the innovative work aroung by alstarck (in outlook uncheck ICalendar) is no good since i get ?????? in the mail header and when trying to create an event it creats it on current date and not in the intended date.
If this ICS business is not fixed soon I'm seriously considering dropping Iphone alltogether because this is the last strow, in addition to the very poor ICalendar-Outlook communication. It hurts my work.
Any Idea/knowledge/comfort?
Thanks

Can't open "mime-attachment.ics" file...

I have my emails forwarded to the email account I use on my iPhone. Everything comes across fine, except calendar invitations. These come across with an attached "mime-attachment.ics" file...I just want to open it so I can see the time being proposed... don't need it to update my calendar. Can't find an app that will open an .ics file... any suggestions?

tongadog is absolutely right. You cannot receive an email with an invitation and open the .ics attachment to see what you are invited to. Not only the iPhone email application should be able to understand the attachment and display the description of the calendar invitation, date, time, location and so on, but one should be able to tap on it and have the invitation sent to the calendar. This is very very obvious and basic requirement. If Apple wants the iPhone to live in the business environment this is a fundamental functionality. People in the Windows environment constantly sent these types of invitations and people with Blackberrys continuously laugh at me because I cannot see the content on my iPhone and I am lost as to when the next meeting is. Please Apple, this should be an easy one for you!!! By the way, it is not a 3.0 or 3.1 issue, it's always been like this, I've been suffering from this for a year and a half.

TS1347 ios 7: how can i open a mime-attachment.ics file?

since i installed ios7 on my iphone i can not open mime-attachment.ics (invitation sent from an outlook email) files in my calendar. does anyone know what i can do to open these files in my calendar?

All email attachments are encoded before being sent are encoded with MIME.
If your receive an email attachment that is not recognized by the computer or mobile device, that usually means there is not an application available on the computer or mobile device that is compatible with the attachment type.
For the iPhone's email client:
Viewable document types
.jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel); .zip; .ics

Calendar invite attached to email as mime-attachment.ics now does not open in ios 7.0.3

Calender invitations arriving as email attachments mime-attachment.ics were opening fine but since upgrading to 7.0.3 they do not open - how do I get this working?

Hi s.kouris,
I'm afraid that unless you are able to contact the previous owner and have him wipe the device, or provide you with his Apple ID password so you can delete the iCloud account, you are out of luck.
With iOS 7, an Activiation Lock was added to deter thieves. This lock prevents anyone but the owner of the device from deleting the iCloud account and restoring the device:

Unless you are able to reach the original owner and get the device wiped or the iCloud account deleted, you are stuck with a brick.
Sorry,

Mime-attachment.ics acceptance...!!!...???

How in the world can an iphone user see or accept an outlook calendar invite? Everytime anyone from my windows office sends me a Microsoft Office Outlook calendar invite it shows up as a "mime-attachment.ics"... All I can do from my iphone i see the file but I'm unable to open it or even have the option of accepting or declining the Outlook invite...!
I've really tried to look within the support nd forums but only eem to find scant info. on the subject. Not even AT&T nor Apple phone support can help.They just keep repeating the same thing... if the file is not in the apple acceptable format, the iphone can't see it nor open it nor deal with it.
So is it true? If I get an outlook email calendar invite then I'm screwed!?

Outlook does allow for the outlook calendar invite to be forwarded as an iCalendar. Yet when it is sent it is still sent as a '.ICS' attachment.
That's because .ics, .ical, .icalendar are all the same:

About all you can do is hope Apple implements support for handoff of .ics attachments from Mail to Calendar on the iPhone. You can certainly express your desire for that:

Can't open mime-attachment in mail

Sometimes mail is forwarded to my iPhone from my Yahoo! account as a mime-attachment and the iPhone won't open it, so I can't read the message. Any suggestions?

I figured out that if the email is formatted as plain text, an attachment coming from Outlook can be read, whereas if the email message is in HTML format (my PC Outlook default), it cannot.
This could well be a good workaround for you - send your email message in plain text format whenever you include an attachment.
Has anyone figured out a way to solve this - where you can view an attachment to an HTML formatted email?

Hello jo ann51,
For correcting mail issues, I would recommend reviewing the following article. It contains helpful troubleshooting steps and information:
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
Try a different Wi-Fi connection
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Hi Pat
Microsoft upgraded Hotmail e-mail accounts to Outlook.com
The Print Screen key has no function.....when the 2 boxes mentioned above appear on the monitor (which I have detailed) they require action or I cannot proceed to another screen or function.
Maybe my problem should also be sent to Microsoft Customer Service...your thoughts.
I note there has been 106 views hard to believe that no one else has had this problem.
Appreciate your time

TS1702 mime-attachment.ics problem

When I'm sent a calendar entry (appointment) from a colleagues pc using Outlook it arrives as a mime-attachment.ics. Until recently I could click the icon and it would register as an appointment on the iPhone calendar. For reasons that mystify me it doesn't do this now. Can anyone please tell me why, and what I can do to rectify this? Many thanks

Would you like to check and install one? I try to install but get the error" download error". As far as i know I'm using Adobe Java 7. None of my CS5 suite works anymore............and i really dont want to upgrade to a monthly cloud service fee as i hate this policy with a passion.

This goes for Dreamweaver CC on Mavericks!!!!! THANK YOU!
I couldn't launch Dreamweaver CC. An error told me to install "java se 6 runtime". But when I clicked OK I got another error telling me there is a network problem! I found this forum post on CS6 products, so I tried the download link, installed java 6 and presto, it worked! Thanks!

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

When I get an ICS from Outlook that is a multi-day event it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS.

When I get an ICS from Outlook Express (Office is PC based) that is a multi-day event, it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS. I have to delete it and send a "decline notice" to the sender and re-enter it so I can put in multiple day events. Help!

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

You need a third party app. Take a look at some of these on this Google page.

"Object Picker cannot open because no locations from which to choose objects can be found"

Hi,
When I try in AD management console in the domain controller to add a new group for a user I get the following error:
"Object Picker cannot open because no locations from which to choose objects can be found" error message when you try to select objects from an Active Directory domain in Windows 2000
Our domain controller is a W2000 cluster (two W2000 advanced server machines) and this happens in one of the nodes of the controller while in the other node it Works well (the difference between them is where it fails, has the resources: print,
file sharing and quorum services). Both nodes of the controller have the remote registry service disabled and in the node where it fails when you start this service it works well but I don`t think this is the reason because in the other node with remote registry
service disabled it works. Solutions from the following support articles don`t work:
kb 263231
kb 284914
I have checked that the situation is independent of the domain administrator who tries to add the group to the user.
Can anybody help me? Which is the reason of this different behaviour from one cluster node to another ?
Thanks.

Hi Milos,
Thanks for your answer but I think this is not the case because the problem is not with NTFS and we don' have these problems:
Users or groups that have Full Control access cannot delegate permissions.
Users who have Full Control access cannot make permission changes on a DFS share.
If you give the non-privileged user the right to log on locally and you log on locally to the file server where the error message occurs, you can successfully edit the ACL.
It only happens with the AD management console. Now, for us it is not posible to upgrade the system.
