When i click on a .ics file in mail it does not open

When I receive a .ics file in email, when clicked it will not open. When held it will ask what program I want to use to open it with. I have sent myself a calendar request (.ics) and it comes in a different format to my email. With this I am abe to accept or decline the request.

This didn't help, because unless I'm missing something, all this does is give me the option of where to download, not the option to open instead of downloading. I used to get a window that asked me "What should Firefox do with this file?" It gave me two options: 1) Open with ... and 2) Save file. Under that there is another box that says "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." When I clicked on that box, I thought I was telling it to open the files from now on, but apparently I was telling it to save the files from now on. In a nutshell, I want to get this window back that gives me the option of opening the file immediately or downloading it. I don't just want the option of where to download, as your solution seems to be. I can't believe that selecting "do this automatically from now on" is irrevocable. Please help! Thanks.

  • When I click on my iTunes icon, it highlights but does not open.

    I can't open iTunes and haven't been able to for a couple days now. I can't find any solutions anywhere. Does anyone know a way to fix this?

    Hello esullz
    Check out the article below to start troubleshooting your startup issues with iTunes. You may need to test it in another user to see if it works there or it may need to be reinstalled.

  • In the Program Panel, when I click the Spacebar (i.e., "Play"), the image does not advance.

    In the Program Panel, when I click the Spacebar (i.e., "Play"), the image does not advance. When I click "Play" again (i.e., "Stop"), the still image confirms that we have moved on. Please, What must I do so that when I click the Spacebar (i.e., "Play"), the image does indeed advance? Thanks!

    This pertains to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6:
    Thanks for your prompt reply. This is my first post and I appreciate your patience. I imported media into the Project Panel. From there, I placed a few clips into a sequence in the Timeline. In the Timeline, I clicked on a clip. I then double clicked in Program Panel, and could then see the clip. However, when I click on the space bar, (i.e., "Play") in the Program Panel, the image in that panel does not advance. When I click "Play" again (i.e., "Stop"), the still image confirms that we have moved on a bit in the footage. (The audio plays normally, confirming that we are advancing in time. )
    I want to be able to press the space bar in the Program Panel and to see the "motion picture" in the Program Panel.
    Please, What must I do so that when I click the Spacebar (i.e., "Play") in the Program Panel, the image does indeed advance? Thanks!
    Not sure I yet have the capabibility of providing a URL of the problem. 
    Thanks for your guidance,

  • "The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found" error when double clicking on an ics file

    Operation System: Windows 8 Pro
    System Type: 64-bit Operating System
    Office: MS Office Professional Plus 2013
    I am getting "The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found" error when I double click on an .ics file to an appointment to my calender. My outlook.com account's data file is set as default and this error only occurs if
    that is the default data file. I thought that maybe my profile is corrupted. So, I opened up a new profile with the below steps and only add my outlook.com account there:
    1-) Open up the Control Panel and go to Mail section
    2-) Click "Show Profiles"
    3-) Click "Add" and give a name to your profile.
    4-) Configure your outlook.com account (with Auto Account setup, not manual steps)
    5-) Finally, set that profile to be used always.
    Then, I opened up the Outlook 2013 and clicked on the .ics file to add that appointment but got the same error.
    Is this a known issue or specific to me?
    Thanks!

    yes, I have the same problem.
    The workaround of saving the ICS file and then importing it into the current calendar
    works, 
    but the ICS calendar
     displays in other section, NOT in the section of my old events.
    why  ??

  • Firefox does not want to open popup or when I do "file new window" it does not open it too.

    When I click on a link that opens a popup, firefox does not open it. Same for "File> New Window." Then, often after Firefox starts to malfunction and no longer wants to open my bookmarks. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, removed all extensions .. But this does not solve my problem. can you help me please?
    Excuse me for my mistakes in English, I am a French person and I try to speak English the best I can so that you can solve my problem. Thank you.

    Your above posted troubleshooting list shows quite a few extensions.
    Did you really disable all of them and still had the problem?
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    Which security software (firewall) do you have?
    Some can block pop-ups as well.

  • When i click on the domain file in a folder, iweb 08 opens?

    I have iweb 08 installed in a separate folder . I have iweb 09 in the applications folder.
    When I open iweb 09 it is pulling my files from the domain. But when I go to that same location and double click on the domain file (i have 3 saved on the computer right now as part of tests, in different places), iweb 08 tries to launch and I get an error message that the file can't be opened.
    Why wouldn't 09 launch?
    When I go to "get info" on the domain, I see that it says to open with web 2.0. When I change it to web 3.0, for that file or for "change all," it keeps reverting back to 2.0. It won't accept the 3.0.

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

  • When I click to enlarge an image in eBay, Firefox does not respond.

    I open up Firefox and go to the eBay website. I click on an item to view the listing. I then click on the image, or the 'Enlarge' icon to view a larger version of the image. The problem is that Firefox does not respond. It comes up with "javascript;" in the little dialogue box that pops up in the bottom left corner.
    When I use Internet Explorer, I don't have the problem. Could anyone suggest what is wrong?

    Make sure that you do not block JavaScript
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/JavaScript
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • When I click a link in email client (apple mail), it does not open in firefox. I have checked both Firefox and Safari and Firefox is the default browser.

    When clicking a link in either apple mail or even from a word document, nothing happens.

    Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like Safari the default and then let Firefox do it again.

  • HT4236 I want to delete photos from my iPad but this help page does not help, when I click on devises a pop up for photos does not appear.

    I want to delete photos from my iPad . But the help page does not help. When I click devices a photo pop up option does not appear

    The instructions in HT4236 are as follows:
    To delete synced photos and videos
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.
    No where does it say anything about a "photo pop up option". When you click on your device icon a panel with many tabs appears. One of these tabs is "Photos". You are supposed to click on the "Photos" tab.
