Problem Adding iCal Events Received via Email (used to work fine)

My wife and I share iCal calendar events between our Mac's via email. A month or so ago I started getting this error when clicking on the link that comes with the iCal event email:
"This calendar file is empty. No new events have been added to your iCal calendars."
We are both on Intel Powermacs running OS 10.4.11 and have the same version of iCal (2.0.5). I can still email her iCal events and she can add them to her calendar just fine. But anything she sends me gives me this error.
Help?

Travis,
I had the exact same problem (with my wife's iCal account to boot ). The solution lies in the "(null) informs you..." It turns out that iCal looks at your personal address card to figure out who you are when populating the email. So, if don't have the email address you are sending FROM listed under your address book entry, then the notice is from NULL.
I added my wife's email accounts to her address book entry on her machine (sorry for the bolds, but the details count.) Then I tried sending a calendar event from her iCal to me. This time it populated with her name and it added to my calendar just fine when I received the email.
I hope this solution works for you (it drove me crazy for about two weeks.)

    I Sugges you to log into your hotmail acc and go to security and password change bit, then you will see two-step verification.. turn that off and you will be able to set it up on your iPhone/iPad or even Mac.
    Give your phone a restart before trying to set it up. Thanks

  • Exchange 2010: New Mailboxes cannot receive external email, but internal works fine. Existing Mailboxes are working properly.

    Hello,
    I can't seem to figure out what the problem is, but my new mailboxes cannot receive external email. The sender receives an NDR stating the following:
    The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 No such user - psmtp (state 13).
    Internally, the affected mailboxes can send and receive mail, and the mailboxes have no trouble sending mail out of the organization. I do not see an anti-spam solution installed on the exchange server, and I have confirmed that DNS resolved to the WAN IP
    of this server. 
    Can anyone help me? The message tracker didn't appear to have recorded the NDR's that it sent, but it's possible I didn't view the logs correctly.
    Thank you!
    Paul

    Is your Exchange server exposed to the Internet or do you have some
    3rd-party device that does spam filtering? If you have something out
    in front of Exchange that only periodically refreshes its cache of
    valid SMTP addresses from the AD then you need to adjust the refresh
    rate.
    That "550 No such user" isn't a status code that Exchange returned.

  • Send test e-mail message: An unknown error occurred, error code: 0x80004005 when send outgoing email. used to work fine.

    Can anyone help with this? Have tried reinstalling iCloud. Just happened suddenly after working fine on PC with Outlook 2013.

    Some people have fixed this by changing the outgoing SMTP server to p06-smtp.mail.me.com.  You could give it a try and see if it would work for you.

  • I'm having a problem sending a word doc via email. I have Mac for Office 08, when I save the document as a .doc or .docx, and send it to someone, they receive it as a blank document. Yet, when I open it on my Mac, it has a "word" icon. How do I fix?

    I'm having a problem sending a word doc via email. I have Mac for Office 08, and I'm using Mavericks OS. When I save the document as a .doc or .docx, and send it to someone, (doesn't matter if its safari, chrome or firefox or on my yahoo or gmail accounts) they receive it as a blank document. Yet, when I open it on my Mac, it has a "word" icon and I can read it. How do I fix?

    I suggest you post on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having issues with.

  • How to save a photo I receive via email?

    How can I save a photo that is received via email on my iPhone (through my gMail account). Can this be done? How can I save a photo to my iPhone's photo library when I get one via email on the phone?

    Not possible with the iPhone.
    Assuming you are also accessing this email account with an email client on your Mac and you use iPhoto for storing photos, save the emailed photo to iPhoto - Apple's Mail application includes this option from or with the received message - saving the photo direct to iPhoto and then transfer the photo from iPhoto to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    This is the only way - at the present time anyway.

  • I used to be able to send document as a PDF or Word Document via email using the toolbar.

    I used to be able to send Pages documents as a PDF or Word Document via email using the Pages toolbar (not the iWork feature).  Lately, it hasn't been working at all.  No email pops up; just nothing.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Any solutions?  I'm running Pages '09 version 4.1.

    This Apple Express Helper is a dumb one.
    File names with # and $ are perfectly treated by the share to Mail feature.
    What is rejected is the slash (/) and it's perfectly normal.
    Since the delivery of the first version of OS X, slash is an illegal character in file names.
    Apple thought that it would be fair to build a piece of code taking care of such chars because they were valid ones in the older operating systems.
    But they expected that users will drop these chars. Alas they didn't and users like you are continuing to play with matches.
    At last, OS X 10.7 removed the extraneous code and now, hosanna, iWork refuse to export files whose name contain the infamous slash.

  • How do I remove my phone number from iMessage so that I could only send/receive via email?

    I Need to do this because my postpaid line has recently been disconnected and after updating to IOS8, I couldn't activate iMessage anymore. I know that everytime we active iMessage and Facetime the carrier sends an international text to Apple for activation; so I'd like to temporarily delete my mobile number (since it won't activate yet) and only send / receive via email - so I can still use iMessage.
    I Couldn't tick on the number because its greyed out.
    Hope someone can help me. Thanks.

    I know you can't help with my Yahoo problem, however, apparently at some time in the past I have went to the Sync and tried to figure it out on both my laptop and my desktop, because I have the long snyc key information. However, when I go to try to sync both computers I never get the box to enter that key on either one. That is my problem. So should I try and get a new sync key and see if that works.

  • Send smartforms via email using action profiles

    hi,
    i am trying to send smartforms via email using action profiles and i would like to know if anyone has any document or know any steps to do the same. i have created the smartform and i created the action in an action profile. i selected the option "Smartforms Mail". and i have mentioned my smartform in it.
    I have previously worked with action profiles to trigger workflows which sent a mail. That was relatively easier as i could mention that the mail be sent to my mailbox. But in the smartforms option, i dont know how to give the instruction that it be sent to my mailbox.. is there any place i can set it? The action is not person dependant and is done whenever saving a document.
    Please guide.
    Thanks,
    Nisha

    Hi Nisha,
    As u worked on Action profiles, i recommend u use action profile with permitted Process type as Smart Forms Mail to send the mails which contains the data in Smartform u created.
    Use below mail setting
    Form Name              (u r ZSmartform)
    Processing Class      CL_DOC_PROCESSING_CRM_ORDER
    Processing Method    CRM_ACTIVITY_EXEC_SMART_FORM
    Archive Mode            1 Mail only User
    In Action definition details u can mentioned the Processing time, Partner dependent for action to who u want to send the mail, further in action condition using schedule and start condition u can set the criteria to mail trigger.
    Hope it'll help u.
    Regards,
    Dipesh.

  • Sharepoint 2013, event receiver to rename files not working

    I coded an event receiver (ItemAdding) that renames for example a .txt file to a .text file (it does not matter the extensions, it is just an example). In my code what I do is to an SPFile.MoveTo operation. It works fine in SP2010 but when I execute
    the same code in SP 2013, when the operation is done using IE I get the text "Sorry, something went wrong" and then "File Not Found".
    In the logs this is what I see:
    12/23/2013 15:48:49.16  w3wp.exe (0x17B0)                        0x0AC8 SharePoint Foundation        
     General                        ai1wu Medium   System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The system cannot find the file specified.
    (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002), StackTrace:    at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb.GetFileOrFolderProperties(String strUrl, ListDocsFlags listDocsFlags, Boolean throwException, SPBasePermissions& permMask)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFile.PropertiesCore(Boolean
    throwException)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFile.get_Length()     at Microsoft.Office.RecordsManagement.PolicyFeatures.ApplicationPages.UploadPage.OnSubmit(Object o, EventArgs e)     at Microsoft.Office.RecordsManagement.PolicyFeatures.ApplicationPages.UploadExPage.OnSubmit(Object

    It's clear that the Sharepoint upload code tries to do things with the original name and it does not realize that it was renamed.
    Can I do something from my event receiver code like using the AfterProperties to bypass this error?
    Thanks

    Hi Dennis,
    The issue still persists. Here is the code:
            public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
                SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
                    try
                        OutputDebugStringA("Inside ItemAdded");
                        string szHttpUrl = properties.WebUrl + "/" + properties.AfterUrl;
                        SPWeb openedWeb = properties.Web.Site.OpenWeb(properties.Web.ID);
                        SPFile spf = openedWeb.GetFile(szHttpUrl);
                        EventFiringEnabled = false;
                        string szUrl = properties.AfterUrl;
                        szUrl = szUrl + ".renamed";
                        string szNewFileName;
                        if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') + 1);
                        else if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') + 1);
                        else szNewFileName = szUrl;
                        if (properties.ListItem != null)
                            properties.ListItem["Title"] = szNewFileName;
                            properties.ListItem.Update();
                        spf.MoveTo(szUrl);
                        EventFiringEnabled = true;
                        base.ItemAdded(properties);
                        OutputDebugStringA("Renaming to " + szUrl);
                    catch (System.Exception exception)

    Hello,
    Where may I be able to contact and speak with a prepaid representative? Strictly through phone calls? (I am at work 12 hours a day)
    And I apologize for posting in the wrong area - I saw Apple support so I went here.
    I'm almost certain my phone is the problem. I have gone through resetting the network settings a dozen times on my phone, even did it on my dad's. Now my texts are beginning to do the same when I text my fiance.
    Resetting the network settings DOES work -- the problem is it will work for a day or two or for only a few hours - then I'll have to do it all over again.
