Opening an ical file attachment on a PC

I want to be able to e-mail my ical calendar to my secretary, who uses Windows xp. Is there a way that she can open it?

I honestly don't know the answer to that question, have you considered just adding her as an invitee that would be the easiest way I can think of.
Also there is a iCal forum, you can repost at:

Hi Alex,
The trick to this whole thing is to scroll to the bottom of the message. There should be a dashed line at the bottom of the email message with text underneath it that says, "This message was downloaded as plain text." Underneath that it should say (in blue hyperlink text) "Download full message". Select that hyperlink, and the Excel file should download completely. You should then be able to select the document and have it open correctly.
I have had the same concern regardless of file format that is sent, so I do not believe your issue is with file format. Hope this helps.
I've seen the same thing happen with images, which it displays in a corrupted form. It's fixed by downloading the full message.
There's a more serious side effect of this, which I've now seen with several types of files. If one FORWARDS the email to someone else, the attached files it sends them are CORRUPTED and unopenable too. In the case of a Word files I looked at, it had dropped the last two bytes of the file.
The workaround for that is to download the full message before forwarding.
I'm seeing this happening with so many types of attachments that I'm assuming it affects them all. Please everyone report this to Apple feedback (http://www.apple.com/feedback/). It's one thing not being able to open a file on your device, it's another to have files corrupted permanently just by forwarding.

Can't open a pdf file attachement to e-mail

I canot open an e-mail pdf file attachment..I get a message
You have chosen to open Invoice---pdf
which is: Firefox HTML Document (479kB)
What should Thunderbird do with this file?
Open with Firefox (default)
I do all of the above but nothing happens and I keep getting the same message over andf over again??
Please advise what I should do
Thanksd

Thanks. I disabled Protected Mode, and I was able to open the pdf attachment. Just to make sure, I enabled it and then disabled it again, and when I tried to open the attachment, it did as before – Adobe Reader (Not Responding) and Internal Error message. Tried it several more times, (enable and then disable Protected Mode) and each time, Adobe Reader wouldn’t launch (Not Responding, Internal Error).

Trying to open an Excel file attached to a Designer form

Hello everybody.
I am trying to open an excel form attached to a PDF file I created using Designer. The script I am using is attached to the click event of a button and reads "app.openDoc(MCFormPath.rawValue);" MCFormPath is a text fiel with a default value that reads: z:\009\Source documents\Meal challenge.xls (location of the document) Unfortunately nothing happens when I click on the button. Any ideas why?
Thanks in advance.

If you are trying to open an Excel form that is attached to the PDF file (via the attachments tab in
Acrobat), then this is the wrong script to use. You should consult the Acrobat Javascript reference:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/javascript/AcroJS.pdf
You may want to try the Adobe Acrobat Scripting forum as well.

How do I open a zip file attachment

I received a one-page file in Excell as a zipped attachment. I do not know how to open it and I don't have Excel on my iMac. I am running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard ona single user Intel iMac. HOW do I open this attachment? Thank you.

Drag the attachment to your Desktop. Double-click on the file. It should unzip automatically. If it does not then download and install The Unarchiver 3.6.1.
Although this will de-archive the attachment, there is little you can do with it without Excel or something similar.
You can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

Opening an .ics file attachment on the treo

How do I open a zip file attached to an email.

The email is from a trusted individual

First save it outside mail, e.g. on desktop; simply drag it there or use save function of attached files in Mail.app
If you double click on it and does not open, the file is corrupt or incomplete.
If you did that while in Mail.app, I assume the download had not yet been completed at the time you clicked on it.

Unable to open a .wav file attached to email.

When I click on an attached .wav file in an email it launches a player of some sort, appears to load the file, then displays the error "There was an error playing the file."
According to the tech. specs, .wav files are supposed to be compatible.
Anyone have any ideas?

Why when I open a meeting.ics attachment it changes the appointment schedule?

When I receive an e-mail containing a meeting schedule or appointment and click on the meeting.ics attachment, the appointment opens with an appointment time that is one hour earlier. Yet, when I open the e-mail in G-mail for example, the appointment comes through correctly. I am on EST and it doesn't seem to matter where the e-mail is being sent from. Do I need to change a setting on my iPhone?

trying to accept a fowarded meeting request from my work Outlook client calendar via email - opening the .ICS file attachment and just choosing to “add to calendar" on an iPhone 4s IOS 5.1, it made my gmail account the organizer, changed the meeting time, and sent a modified meeting request to everybody in the meeting except for the original organizer.

Hi,
Seems the Chrome has some effect on this issue, see:

Opening an ICS file doesn't open event in iCal

Opening an ICS file in Apple Mail no longer opens the event in iCal. I don't recall the last time it worked but I know, in the past, double clicking an ICS file in Apple Mail would open the actual event iCal so you could see and modify it. Now, the only thing that happens is iCal opens........and you then have to manually locate the event.
I have the option to Automatically Add invitations to iCal and that is working but I have quite a few users that want the previous functionality back. I know we can use the Quick Look Attachment option and see the event details but that's not as convenient as simply double clicking and going straight to the event.
I'm seeing this problem with 10.6 and 10.7.

Having the same problem here - it's driving me nuts!
I tried installing YAI, but I can't make it point to the correct calendar. I can cut and paste an event into the Google Calendar, but if it's an outlook invite it will delete the event on all the attendee's computers.

Opening a Contact File with iCal Alarm

I am trying to open an Address Book file with an alarm in iCal, but I cannot seem to figure out to locate that file in Finder to attach to the alarm.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks
Dan

varian72,
Select the Alarm field in the Info window, Choose "Open File," and select "Other" and navigate to AddressBook in the "iCal: File to open as Alarm " window.
