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.

  • BYMONTHDAY is causing the error while opening the ics file in outlook when event is exported from SharePoint Calendar

    Hi All,
              I am trying to parse the SharePoint recurrence data to get the RRULE for the ics file the RRULE parsed works fine for Yearly and Daily but it causes error when opening the ics file for the Monthly and
    weekly recurrence recurrence. I have opened the ics file in the notepad and observed that the BYDAY and BYMONTHDAY causes the problem. If I remove the tag the file opens fine but with wrong recurrence pattern.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Ajeet,
    I see that this is an extremely old post, but I thought I would refresh it with a bit more info.
    I wish I had found this post a few days ago.  I realized the same thing as well.  I don't quite understand the reasoning behind requiring the by day date must be the same as  the event date.  Another thing with rrecurrence is that if
    you pick a day of the week for a recurrence (i.e. Friday), then the start date must also occur on a Friday (I am just casting it as the first Friday of the month).
    I have come into this same issue with the BYMONTHDAY.  I am currently working on trying to configure an .ICS file to allow for multiple monthly recurrences, but it appears Outlook does not support multiple days within an event (determined by trying
    to create an even in Outlook and picking the recurrence option).  It seems that you are only allowed to have an event on (for example) every Friday of each month, or the (x) day of each month.  You cannot set any other occurrences of any other day
    within the same ICS file.  Hopefully someone else will find this information useful.
    Cheers,

  • Using 'Edit in' - Photoshop CC 2014, the program opens, but the file doesn't appear. Help!

    I have Adobe CC Photography (great value!).  I need to do some Photoshop editing of my pictures - principally Levels 0 and so use the 'Edit in' functionality.
    This has worked in the past; but today, Photoshop opens, but the file doesn't appear in the PS window.
    I uninstalled (using MacKeeper) a copy of Photoshop Elements 12 on my hard drive recently - could that be the cause? In any case, how do I get back to being able to 'Edit in'?

  • I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open

    I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open. I am a new user to Windows 8.

    The full featured Reader for Windows 8 is Reader XI.
    Reader Touch works in all Windows 8 systems BUT it is intended mainly for use in mobile tablets - I see no particular reason to use it unless you can'r run Reader XI. Given it is mainly for use on mobile that can't use Flash, we aren't likely to ever see the development team spending their time on this.
    If you want the latest and greatest - at least try Reader XI, not X! (Flash is a separate download, it will prompt).

    The "open in ibooks" button doesn't open pdf on new iPhone 6. I'll click it several times and nothing happens. Is there a way to uninstall ibooks and reinstall?

    there is no share button in preview
    I am seeing a Share button in Preview's toolbar, Larry:  Can you see the screenshot?
    The content of the Share menu will depend on the file format. For PDFs the menu will be nearly empty and iPhoto and aperture are missing.

    Something is definitely wrong with your install of Reader.
    A PDF consists of only the number of pages it was created with.  Reader can and will only open those pages... IF it's installed and working properly.
    Opening multiple blank pages from a document which contains none is a clear sign that the software isn't functioning. It's like putting a movie into a DVD player, and your TV starts a picture slide show of your last Summer's vacation. Not possible unless there's something seriously wrong.
    Uninstall Reader 9.
    Use either Adobe's clean uninstaller or Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2. exe) to remove all Reader installer files from your system.
    Reinstall Reader 9 from a new download (do not use the old one if you still have it on your system)

  • How do I open a postscript file, like I open an excel file?

    I'm trying to open a file that I saved as a .ps.
    I want to open it in the same maner as I open an excel file?

    To open an excel file, such as *.xls, you need Excel; to open a *.ps file, you need Ghostscript. It's free. You should be able to find it on internet.

  • I have reinstalled cc and vhen i want to open a raw-fil the picture opens in PS CS5 insted of in CC2014. How kan i connekt my raw files to CC2014

    I have reinstalled cc and when i want to open a raw-fil the picture opens in PS CS5 insted of in CC2014.
    How can i connect my raw-files to CC2014?

    You should have Bridge CC installed for CC 2014.
    In Windows, right-click on a raw file, and select "choose default program". Photoshop CC 2014 should be listed. Select it. "Always open this file with this program" should also be checkmarked.
    If CC 2014 is not on the list, look for the Browse button at the bottom and go to Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CC2014 and click on the Photoshop CC 2014.exe to choose it and add to the list.
    In Bridge CC  Edit > Preferences > File Type Associations, look for your raw file type (CR2 or Nef) and select Photoshop CC 2014 deom the drop-down menu.

  • Why does reader freeze while opening some pdf files and others open instantaneously?

    I use pdf files created from CamScanner and shared from DropBox.  In DropBox, many times (over 50%) while opening the PDF the process freezes and the error message is Adobe Reader is not responding.  If you close the program, and re-open the file, it opens fine.  I have saved these files to my computer and the same issue occurs.  The files are 100-500kb, so I do not think size is the issue.  I have reinstalled Reader (11.1.10) and there is no improvement.

    This appears to have reduced the time to load a document.  Thanks Jimb      From: Anubha Goel <[email protected]>

  • Links to files doesn't open in a new window

    I've noticed that links (that refers to a specific file) created in Adobe Indesign doesn't open in a new window like the links that refers to a website when I autoconverts it in Acrobat Pro X.
    Example:
    LINK1: http://www.acrobat.com/testfile.pdf <--- does not open in a new window when clicked
    LINK2: http://www.acrobat.com/testfolder <--- opens in a new window when clicked
    Are there any way to fix this?
    Will the same problem occur if I create the links in Acrobat instead?
    I'm asking this because I don't want the form to disappear when the links are clicked.
    Best,

    Firefox should divert the new window to a new tab when you check this box in Google's Search Settings:
    "Open search results in a new browser window"
    I can't think of any reason for Firefox to divert a new window back into ''the same tab''.
    In case one of your add-ons is the culprit, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode?
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox using Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled. Don't check any of the boxes in the [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] dialog, just Continue in Safe Mode.
    Does it make any difference?

  • Double-clicking on files doesn't open them

    Just started today:
    If I navigate to a file in the Finder and double-click on it, nothing happens. It doesn't open. If I open the application (e.g., MS Word) and go to the file menu and choose Open, navigate to the file, the file will open. But it happens in all applications, not just Word -- double-clicking on any file won't open the file in its parent application. It's like the link between files and apps has been lost.
    I restarted the Finder twice, restarted the whole computer twice, repaired Permissions with Disk Utility -- nothing has helped. Still can't open files by double-clicking on them.
    Am I missing something?
    Tx,
    WK

    Kappy,
    Followed these "Get Info" box instructions for two different files and their apps -- the correct apps were already listed as the Default, but I reselected them and "Changed All" again anyway. Still no change. Double-clicking on these docs in the Finder does not open files or the files creator Application. The only way I can still launch files and the proper App is through Control-click and "Open with" command.
    I even deleted the com.apple.finder.plist and restarted, thinking the Finder prefs file might be corrupt, but still no change, so took the original plist file out of the Trash and put it back in the Library>Preferences folder and restarted again. No change.
    THEN - a breakthrough. I checked the Keyboard/Mouse Prefs Pane and the double-click speed for the mouse was set completely to the right. I backed it off one "notch", went back to the Finder and double-clicked on a Word file and Voíla! -- the file and Word opened as it should.
    Went back to the Mouse Prefs Pane and moved the Double-CLick Speed indicator all the way to the right again ("Fast") and went back to Finder and focused on double-clicking files as fast as I could and they opened fine.
    SO -- I'm embarrassed to say that I just wasn't double-clicking fast enough. Not sure how the Speed indicator got moved so far to the right, but I have backed it off a notch to a normal double-click speed that I've used for years, and all seems to be working.
    Thanks again for all your help -- I learned some good things about how to connect files and apps which will no doubt come in handy in the future.

  • Can't open shared .ics file with iPhone

    I am trying to sync my iPhone calendars with the calendar on my PC that is in .ics format.  The .ics file is located on a home server that allows both me and my wife to see each other’s calendars and its been working great.  Now, I want to be able to see my calendar from my iPhone 4 (with OS 5.1.1) .. and I’ve tried setting it up with:  settings --> mail, contacts,calendars --> add account --> other --> add subscribed Calendar. 
    With every possible config I can think of, I get the same response: "Calendar Subscription -- Unable to verify account information" 
    For server name, I’ve tried actual servername, ip address, etc; we do have security on the server but I put in the account name and password … ‘nuthin! “Unable to verify …”
    Through the phone's browser, I am able to open up the folder on our server and see the.ics file. The path is xxxx.homeserver.com/webcal/nat_calendar.ics. I've tried sending an invite to myself, opening it in the phone, clicking on the link and I get this error: Cannot Subscribe: Could not subscribe to the calendar "nat_calendar.ics from "myservername".
    Seems simple, what am I missing here.
    Any ideas?
    -- Nat

    OK ... so not too many others have had this issue -- but for those in the future, here's how to solve it.  Go to this brilliant post by Joe Bradford:  essentially my problem as was his in part --  was caused by having the wrong MIME type in IIS (my webserver).  By going into the web server and changing the MIME type from application/octet-stream to text/calendar fixes the problem and the iPhone can now subscribe to the Outlook-generated calendar file (.ics).
    Thankfully, I did not have the additional problem of an errant Byte Order Mark in the hexidecimal structure of the file which Joe also had to surgically remove (see issue 2 in post above).
    (Given this was a cross platform issue -- Apple and MSFT -- I have to put this one at the feet of Apple for not coding the iPhone to open a webDAV (.ics) calendar file regardless of its MIME type ...)
