Why can't I accept mail invites in iCal sent to Mail?

Ok I'm sure there is an easy answer...this is driving me batty...
I get lots of iCal invites that are sent to my email address.
When I open iCal, very few of them appear in the "Notifications" area to allow me to say Maybe/Decline/Accept
The way I have to accept most of them is to:
1. go to email for the invite
2. click "Accept" (opens a new browser tab)
3. within browser tab click on "Download .ics" (Add to iCal), which opens a download window
4. in download window select "Open with... iCal"
5. asks which calendar I want to add it to (like "Home"), so I hit OK
then it adds it to my iCal
I get tons of iCal invites...is there a way just to let me just accept them from within iCal?
I don't have a Cloud subscription of anything (if that matters).
Thanks all-

same problem, driving me nuts...
i get calendar invites in mail, can be from any calendar, Ical, iCloud, Google, any... none get auto invited in to iCal/Calendar [whatever its called now]. They used to... dont now..
on Mountain Lion, everything is up to date, settings are correct [i think].
does this have anything to do with everyone elses iCloud invites problem? seems to be a general iCloud invites problem but dont know if this is linked to it.
I have to manually add the data from my invite into Calendar at the moment as a cant drag it as it makes the invite where i drag it and not thr date it should be, i cant open the ICS as it opens Entourage...
Help...

  • Why can't I accept iCal invites on one Mac but can on another?

    I have three Macs: 1. an iMac which sits on my desk. 2. An older MacBook Pro and 3. a brand new MacBook air which I bought a week or two ago to replace the older MacBook Pro.
    All three are running Lion, the first two upgraded from Snow Leopard, the MacBook Air was purchased with Lion.  All three are fully updated using software update.  All three are synchronised using mobile me.
    I am not using any server capability.
    Here's my issue:
    When one of my customers sends me an invitation to a meeting I get the invite in an email of course.  These invites come exclusively from Outlook as that's what all my clients use but that should not be relevant.
    When I double click on the invite the appointment goes to iCal; mobile me then syncs this across all three Macs.  Irrelevant of which Mac I double click from the mail invite the following happens:
    On the iMac and Macbook Air the meeting is inserted in my calender.  The meeting is coloured blue (my default calendar colour) and no matter whether I click on accept or decline nothing happens and no response is sent through mail to the meeting organiser.
    On the MacBook Pro the meeting is inserted in the calendar in grey with a dotted line border around it.  When I open the meeting and accept or decline the meeting on the MacBook a mail response is sent to the organiser - this is the correct version of what should happen.
    Every single setting that I can find in both Mail and iCal is the same on all three Macs as far as I can see.  Has anyone got any ideas why the MacBook Pro would work and not the other two machines - it's a little annoying to have to fire up the old MacBook every time I want to accept a meeting request!
    Many thanks for any help.
    David.

    I think I've solved this.
    In address book only the Macbook Pro had my own card set as 'My Card'.  Although Mobile Me was syncing the address book it obviously doesn't carry the My Card attribute across so this wasn't set on the other two Macs.
    Weeks I've been looking at this and then I find the answer a few hours after posting the question

  • Why can't I print embedded images in a Thunderbird E-mail? I just get blank boxes for the images.

    I am a copyeditor who receives feedback from my clients re: manuscripts I have edited. They will often sent e-mails that include small screen captures from parts of their style guide or screen captures of the proof that is in question (small sections, like a paragraph or an equation, or a header that needs to be coded/styled differently for HTML). Now, I can see these fine in the e-mail, but when I go to print them out for my reference binder, the embedded images don't print.
    Mozilla, I need these to print; they are quite important to my job.
    To keep my e-mail from becoming too bloated, I save these important style issue e-mails into a folder on my desktop I call "Print out for binder", queuing them for the day I can print a bunch of them out and arrange them according to subject matter.
    Problem is, they are useless if they don't include these illustrative screen captures; blank boxes are worthless to the context.
    It is not my printer that is the problem. if I receive a Word doc with these screen captures, they print fine. But if I try to print from T-Bird, no go. Help. (I can't save these e-mails as Word docs either, which might solve the problem; the only options in T-Bird are "Save as file" or "Save as template".)
    Thunderbird is a powerful e-mail program, and one I have been using for over a decade. Why can't it perform this function? Please help. Or point me to an add-on. I haven't been able to find one that addresses this seemingly straightforward, common, and simple problem.

    When you select File(or AppMenu/Print)/Print Preview, do the images appear? Do the images print if you check 'Print background (colors & images)' under File/Page Setup? I don't have any problems printing a message with an embedded image, at least to an xps file.
    I devised a workaround that might help, failing a real solution: install [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/unmht/ unMHT] in both TB and Firefox, and then File/Save As MHT in TB. Open the mht file in Firefox, and Print.

  • Why can't I link to an image in Yahoo! mail options Signature? It works in Explorer.

    I use the Yahoo! Mail options Signature to insert a signature every time I e-mail. I have inserted my logo and cannot get the link to work when you browse over the logo.
    I could not even copy the link in Firefox, I had to do it in Explorer. This may be the problem.
    Why can't Firefox allow images to copy in the Yahoo! signature area and link to them?
    I am going to be forced to go back to using Explorer since I want everyone to be able to simply click on the image to link to my site.
    HELP!

    I just did a test in google chrome. I can not create a folder under google chrome, but I can create a folder under Internet Explorer.

  • Why can't I move a folder from contacts to the mail address line?

    Why can't I move a folder from Contacts to the address line in mail?

    If all of the contacts don't get moved into the address field(s), it's possible that some of the contacts in a Group contain  information but not email addresses for those individuals.
    Don't really know what else to suggest except, possibly, that you delete, then re-create the problem Groups.

  • Can't accept .ics invitations in iCal

    Hi,
    Since I moved to iCloud I have a problem with accepting .ics invitations, which I receive as attachments in Mail. Double clicking a "Mail Attachment.ics" file in Mail adds it to iCal, which after a moment responds with the following dialog: "https://p-02.caldav.icloud.com:443/102203399/principal/ is not a location that supports this request." Two buttons: "Go Offline" or "Revert to Server"
    Clicking either puts the invite into the calendar, but not up to iCloud. Taking iCal offline and then back will trigger a sync ("updating…" shows in iCal title bar) but event will still not show on iPhone or on iCloud.com
    After approx. 15 minutes the invitation disappears from iCal on the iMac - which brings the desktop calendar into sync with iCloud but without the invitation I tried to accept....
    This behaviour has been consistent since I moved to iCloud, for every .ics invitation I have received....
    Is there a resolution for this issue?
    BR, Ivo

    I have the same issue...

  • Why can't I print just a selection of an Apple Mail message?

    I have a MacBook running OS 10.5.8 (with the latest updates). My preferred browser is Firefox 15.0.1. I have always been able to print just a selection of a document, and I can do so in Microsoft Word, Google Mail, everything, it seems except Apple Mail. I have a little HP inkjet printer and a new Brother laser printer (HL-5470DW). I've searched their Help menus and manuals, as well as the Help menu for Mac and have found nothing about printing selections of Apple Mail messages. Is there a way to do that? Or do I have to copy the selection into a different document, like one in Microsoft Word for Mac? Or Google Mail? I prefer not to do that last option. The formatting choices are not the greatest.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks BDAqua. It seems so silly that it's so easy in other contexts, but it's good not to keep on trying something futile

  • Why can't  Apple accept that smaller cities and countries exist??

    I just wish that Apple would realize that there are other places on earth besides the US, Europe and Asia!!
    I am trying to put in my city code for my clock on my iphone 4 and it will not let me put in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago. My Nokia phone bought in 2005 allows this and my cheap Casio watch recognizes other smaller cities on earth...why can't Apple??
    I thought the general idea was to have ALL citizens on earth using your products??
    Please do something update wise (and NO, I do not want to enter Bridgetown, Barbados as a 'next best bet'.
    Thank you,

    I was looking for how to add any city in Trinidad to my world clock and came upon his post. It wasn't necessary to dig it up but I had the same complaint and because the posters here were mostly un-kind and un-understanding towards hm, I hoped he would know that not everybody thinks his complaint is invalid.
    Not having the capitol means the whole country is not listed. Any city. It's hard to use another country's time zone because times may change due to things like daylight-savings-time in one country but not in another. If you live on the east coast of the US, you can still use a city from your own country in the same time zone. I can use Toronto even though that's not my real hometown in Canada. I can use Beijing for my current city even though I live 1000's of miles away but still in China. There's no city listed for all of Trinidad. I'm not sure what city to list for the same time zone as Port of Spain without worrying that it will be wrong at sometime because country differences.
    Of course not all cities in the world can/should be listed but perhaps all capital cities or the largest city in even the smallest of countries could be listed.
    I guess I do not have a grip on your reality. In my reality your post makes no sense because it only tries to insult another poster and offers neither help nor explaination. I'm not sure what you gain from that. To be fair though, it does seem like many people like to post in this way.
    Thanks for your suggestion Michael Black.

  • Why can't I type the name of a group in mail 7

    I can no longer type the name of the group and Mail app 7 will auto fill all the addresses in the group. In order to group mail, I have to select addresses in the toolbar, click on the group, then command click on the individuals in the group and then click To:
    Distribution list doesn't seem to work anymore.

    I had a similar question but mine was more that I used to click on my group in the address book to select it and drag to the Bcc / cc field and now I can't seem to - but you helped by showing me an alternative - I am using OSX 10.9
