How do I set up a repeating iCal event? Thanks in anticipation 1. Double-click the event you want to repeat 2. Click Edit 3. Give your event a suitable name, then click on the word None next to repeat (just below the time zone selector). You can choose between Every Day, Every Week, Every Month, Every Year, or create a custom option (eg, every 2 weeks). The rest is pretty clear.

Re: Ical - how to set 24 hour clock?
Oh my god... Of course meant to type AM/PM... I must say, this seems very un-Apple-like and non-intuitive: It is the default for country settings where a 24-hour clock is the norm. But I agree that it's not at all intuitive to change for other countries (or to change a 24-hour default to 12-hour).

Re: iCal Alert time.
Hi Adrian, The default time is pulled from Alerts when you create a new event, you can't change the 9am time. But if you change the alert to something else like Message or Message with sound, then it 'should' pull the time from the general settings you have for when the day begins (7AM) Or manually change the Alert to Message with Sound - 'the same day' and change the time to 7AM Cheers, Ronni On 05/09/2012, at 9:38 AM, iCloud adrianske...@me.com wrote: Thats correct Tim; Preferences Alerts, its the All Day Events and Birthdays that I would like to change.

iCal
Folks, Since moving to Lion, I am unable to easily read iCal - the very pastels defeat the objective of clear reading - I end up with no grid. How would I get back to the SL version?

Re: iCal
Hi Bill, You can change the color of a calendar and all its events. To do this, click on the Calendars button at the top left of the iCal window; right-click on a calendar, and choose 'Get Info'. To the right of the calendar’s name is a popup menu that lets you choose colors. Click on this menu, then choose 'Other' to display a color wheel. Choose the color you want, then click OK. The colors will still be pastel-ish in Day or Week view, but you can make them a bit more prominent by experimenting with richer, darker colors.

Re: iCal error message
Hi Stuart, Yes; but which iCloud ID are you signed in with? Apparently when you setup iCloud you have setup TWO iCloud Accounts. You need to decide which ID you want to use as the main one and sign in with that in System Preferences iCloud. Otherwise you will experience sync issues and the error you received in iCal.

Re: iCal error message
Hi Stuart, Had you been creating new reminders in iCal or dragging a reminder in iCal? First thing to try is: 1. Open iCal Preferences 2. Select Accounts 3. Re-enter your username and password. 4. Exit iCal and start it again. If that does not solve your problem. Go to iCloud.com, sign in, go to iCal, make new Reminders, delete old Reminders. I suggest you BACKUP before doing any messing with calendars and contacts.

[WAMUG ANNOUNCEMENTS] Please read - iCal Subscription now Live, General Admin
Hi All After last months Committee meeting, we now have a couple of items for your attention. 1. We have set up a very useful WAMUG iCal calendar for you. On here we have listed all the WAMUG meetings for the year. We plan to have on this calendar listed the next few meeting agendas, so you can see what topics / discussions we have in place. This gives you some idea of the meeting before hand. We hope to keep this up to date as best as possible. (Obviously some things may change if some fantastic is announced we want to discuss, or someone can't make it. So far you can see the items for April and May meeting. You can load this into your iCal on the computer, iPhone, iPad (Which will stay in sync for iTunes or iCloud. To join, just follow the instructions below:- webcal://p03-calendarws.icloud.com/ca/subscribe/1/CIJLEfQ4BHkz0cnBRHDWcgJQZO4KLE8I2aH81RgZjbzXFfqGiMKNpf87a7NXx2HJ To add these to iCal, all you need do is click the link above. It will automatically open iCal (assuming you have this set as the default Calendar Application). Once it opens iCal, you'll be presented with a Box and the address completed. You then click Subscribe. On the next window that shows you can Customise details:- - What you want to name the calendar (or leave as WAMUG etc) - What colour you want the calendar to be in iCal (eg Yellow) - The Location where it's stored (On My Mac, will just have it on your computer and syncing via iTunes for 10.6.8 or via iCloud for 10.7.3 users). - You can choose to remove Alerts, Attachments and Reminders if associated with the calendar (nothing really set or attached at the moment) - And lastly you can have how often it refreshes (or leave at Every Week). Then Click OK You'll then see that it adds the Calendars in for you. That simple!! :) 2. We have set up an announceme...@wamug.org.au email address for this list. This will be a generic email address that we will use for announcements, admin requests. It won't be an address that can be replied to, as we're just using it to post to the list from a Committee / Admin level. This should make it a bit easier to see for certain things. So please ensure you keep an eye out for it if we do post. There may be something very useful in it! :o) Thank you for taking the time to read this. We appreciate it.

Re: mail/iCal playing with exchange
Hi Ronni and others, at work I used my iPhone to create a work based Exchange 2003 email and calendar account on my iPhone. The Mac doesn't play with Exchange 2003 but the iPhone does.

iCal - responding to meeting requests from multiple email addresses
Hello, I use iCal 5.0.1, Mail 5.1 and OSX 10.7.2 on a Mac Mini. In iCal I have a number of calendars, basically one work calendar and one private calendar. I work from home. In Mail, I have a number of email accounts that are set up to show a different 'From' sender names to suit work and private. I do not respond to meeting requests sent to me with any confidence, not knowing what email address is going to be included in the reply. This is my main issue - I want to be sure that if I respond to a meeting request, that it is sent from the correct email account. I also understand there still remains a problem with iCal meeting requests not functioning correctly with Outlook. I've seen a script to hack into iCal that might fix this, but not game to try that yet, and have no real way of testing it in a house of Macs. Searching the Apple Support forums and Google, it seems like this is a common experience, and one with few or no solutions. iCal Reply Checker by John Maisey is only working for OSX 10.6.x http://www.zamain.com/ has a solution the charge $15 a year on a subscription, and doesn't inspire confidence with no specific reference to working under 10.7.2 as their website says 10.5.x, 10.6.x and beyond. Given the changes with iCloud and Lion - and beyond is a bit of a big statement! Given most meeting requests are work related and following what I have learnt from the various forums, I have moved my work calendar to the top of the list. This apparently assists when meeting requests are automatically imported from Mail, and iCal places the meeting request into the calendar that is at the top of the list. Same goes for replying to meeting requests. Apparently, iCal uses the email account that is at the top of the list in Mail, so I have put my work email account at the top of the list in Mail. I'd like to be able to move my contact details around in Address Book too, just to add another layer of reliability, but the best I can do is to make sure there is only one email address listed as Home and one listed as Work. All the others are listed as Other, or custom labels. Has anyone found a reliable solution to this problem, or have a commentary on the solutions I have put into place - but yet to try out live.

Entries entered in iCal, either on MacBook Pro or iMac, sometimes stay, sometimes disappear. Doesn't seem to be any pattern. Then sometimes they disappear then come back. Should I be moving to iCloud? What are the cons? I haven't bothered because I have an iPhone 3G which apparently isn't iCloud compatible, so I don't want to move to iCloud only to find my iPhone no longer syncs with iCal. Any tips to solve this painful missing iCal entry phenomenon? Like you I had a 3 whole weeks disappear for some unknown reason. Apple managed to recover the lost information and sent me my iCal file , recovered from their backup servers I guess. as for my iphone 3G - yep crawls too- Cheers, Steven -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug

Re: iCal entries keep disappearing
Hi Steven, I don't know if you are aware of it, but MobileMe will cease to operate on 30 June, 2012. If you want to continue synchronizing your Mac and iPhone calendar after that date, you will need to find an alternative.

Re: iCal entries keep disappearing
Yes to all of those, Ronni. I did a little more exploring of iCal / Lion / MobielMe sync issues and it seems there's a plague of problems. Seems to me a move to iCloud is going to be the only long term solution. Which will mean an iPhone hardware upgrade. Might not be such a bad thing to be forced to do ... my iPhone 3G has slowed to a crawl these days. Hopefully the iPhone 5 will be out before MobileMe disappears. An option is that I access Calendar via www.me.com/calendar - at initial glance that seems to be more reliable.

Re: iCal entries keep disappearing
That rings a bell Carlo, but thanks for refreshing me on this anyway. It basically puts a timeline around an iPhone upgrade ... and hopefully by then Apple starts making some forward steps with Lion.

iPhone iCal iCloud and lack of confidentiality
Today by way of a practice run I used Siri to make an appointment with someone next Tuesday (call her Blondie). The appointment was entered automatically in my calendar. I then asked Siri to cancel the appointment. Shortly after that I received an email from Blondie with subject heading RE: Meeting with Blondie has been cancelled, in which she wrote Not sure what those 'cloudy' things were about''. A calendar icon was at the foot of her email. When I clicked on it, every entry I had on my computer in iCal was visible, including listings of birthdays. An attachment to the email from Blondie showed the cancelled appointment and also showed a legitimate appointment in Blondie's computer. Blondie and I work for different organisations, but Blondie is in my Contacts list in Outlook. My computer is not on any network, but I do have IOS 5 on the iPhone 4s, Lion 7.2 and an Apple identity. The email notifying Blondie of the cancellation was automatically sent, but does not show up on my computer as sent in Mail or in Outllook). I have not been able to check yet if that information was displayed on Blondie's computer but if it was i am very concerned. Mail was ''OFF on my iPhone, but Contacts, Calendars and Reminders were all On. iCloud back up was selected as ON on the iPhone. Contacts and Calendars were ticked in preferences on my computer. The preference Ask before sending changes to events was ticked in the preferences for iCal in my computer. To look at it light-heartedly, it looks as though Apple and iCloud may have made whistle blowers and hackers redundant. Any suggestions about how I can use Siri without having her gossip with the whole world?

Re: iPhone iCal iCloud and lack of confidentiality
Michael, Is your concern that it sent out the email saying it was cancelled, or that all of your iCal entries were visible? All of your iCal entries are NOT sent to the other person, what happens is that is an iCal file containing only the meeting you are talking about, which you double click it, it opens it up in iCal and imports the event. Obviously all other iCal events on your computer will show as well, but they were not all in that file / sent to the other person. If you are worried about meetings being cancelled sending emails, then best option is not to add them to the attendees list as that tends to imply you want to send everyone emails about the appointment. The ask before sending emails thing.. it seems perhaps siri skips this..

Re: iPhone iCal iCloud and lack of confidentiality
Hi Michael, Chapter 4: SIRI Page 38 in ‘iPhone User Guide for iOS5 Software’: Siri knows which app you’re using, so you can refer to what’s on your screen. For example, when reading a message in Mail, you can say “Reply, I like it” or “Call him.” Siri also understands different ways of saying the same thing. For example, you could say “Send a message to Susan saying I’ll be right there” or “Tell Susan I’ll by right there.” When Siri displays information on the screen (for example, a calendar appointment), you can usually tap the displayed info to open the related app for details and further action. Siri uses information in Contacts to know when you’re referring to your friends and associates. Make sure you have contacts for the people you want Siri to know about. Include nicknames and addresses, so that you can say things like “Find restaurants near Bob’s house.” If you refer to someone by a single name, Siri looks for a match in Favorites (in Phone) or Conversations (in Messages). Otherwise, Siri asks for clarification, if needed. On your personal card in Contacts, enter names of Related People (such as mother, brother, or manager) to enable Siri to respond to requests such as “Call mom.” Enter your home address and work address, so you can say things like “How do I get home?” and “Remind me to call Bob when I get to work.” To let Siri know which card is yours, go to Settings General Siri My Info.” You can download versions of the iOS 5.0 Software Guide for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch here: http://www.homeforgeeks.com/iphone-geek/ios5-official-user-guide/ Cheers, Ronni On 27/10/2011, at 4:26 PM, Michael Hawkins wrote: Today by way of a practice run I used Siri to make an appointment with someone next Tuesday (call her Blondie).

New iCal events notification
I have recently changed all my clients iMacs on my network to network clients rather than stand alone. As well as this we have created a network calendar. Usually when iCal events are posted the invitees are notified and are able to accept etc. With the network calendar this does not happen. All my staff need to be advised of these network events and act accordingly. How can all the user on of the network be advised the new network events have been posted?

Alternatives to iCal
Good afternoon All My wife recently recently decided to replace her paper diary and appointments book with one of the coloured iCal calendars on our Mac but finds all my other, coloured calendars a distraction. She doesn't want to have to untick all the others but wants her own alone all the time. I cannot see how she can have this with iCal without going to the trouble of introducing separate accounts and passwords for us. I am loath to do this and consequently transfer vast quantities of her files to a new account after so many years. So, can someone please recommend another calendar app for the Mac from the many available.

(Some are add on's to iCal) but the description will normally say if it's a Stand alone calendar http://www.macupdate.com/find/mac/calendar A few that I've used previously (pre iCal) are BusyCal, PandaCalendar and Calendar. http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31936/busycal http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/2382/pandocalendar http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27263/calendar http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/6487/ccn-x Some shareware, some commercial, and possibly some free Hope that helps. Thanks Daniel and Stephen. Ronni's posting made look at my problem and it turned out not to be a problem. Margaret gets her own account.

Re: Alternatives to iCal
Hi Ian, Did you create an Administrator User Account Password for your wife? To transfer files between two accounts on your Mac OS X computer, first move your wife's files from your account into the 'Shared folder' Then, log into your wife's account to retrieve the files from the Shared folder. Move all her files into the correct places ... Documents into Documents, movies into Movies, photos into Pictures etc. To make changing User Accounts quicker enable 'Fast User Switching' To quickly switch between accounts: 1. Choose Apple menu System Preferences, and click Accounts. If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password. 2. Click Login Options. 3. Select “Enable fast user switching.” I'm knocking off for the day now, should be back again tomorrow if you require anymore help.

Re: Alternatives to iCal
Hi Ian, There are a few ways you can transfer your wife's data to her account, but one method I have always used is to put the folder in question in the Shared folder which is found in HardDriveUsersShared. Whilst you are logged on go to Users and under your Logon ID you will find your Desktop, detail the contents by clicking the arrow and locate your wife's folder and drag it to your wife's User Logon ID into her Documents folder. I am not very good at giving instructions but this should give you an idea of how quickly it can be done. But I am sure that Ronni or another guru will give you more detailed notes. By the way I think you have made the right choice in creating a separate account for your wife who will be able to use all the applications you have on your Mac provided you give her access to them.

I am increasingly using my iPhone to make iCal events. There are sent via the 'cloud' to my iMac. Is there a way that when they arrive at my iMac I can be reminded so that I can set a different recall etc?

Re: iCal events/iPhone/iMac
Hi Stuart, Not sure if this is what you are looking for but a workaround would be to create a new calendar called, say, iPhone. When you add an event from your iPhone chose this as the calendar to add the event to. When the even it is synced back to your Mac it will be apparent that it was created on your iPhone because it belongs to the iPhone calendar. You could then edit it and reassign it to whatever calendar you choose. In iCal it is easy to see only the events for a given calendar by unchecking all the other calendars in the left had selection panel.

Re: iCal events/iPhone/iMac
Hi Stuart, I’m also not sure what you mean by “set a different recall etc”. If you have put your iPhone “Event” in the same calendar as it is then synced to via MobileMe to your iMac, you can Edit the Event in the iCal Calendar on your iMac, modify alarms etc. I do this all the time, I add events in either my iPhone, my iPad or on my iMac, they all sync ‘In the Cloud’ via MobileMe I edit, add or modify Alarms etc from any of my devices. All events and any changes I make on any device are kept in sync on all my devices.

Re: iCal mobile me
Hi Stuart, Not sure how ou have for syncing setup on all your devices (iPhone / iPad / iMac). Are all devices set to sync via MobileMe? It does sounds like you might be syncing via iTunes AND MobileMe. If you are syncing via MobileMe check in iTunes that you have syncing OFF Cheers, Ronni On 06/06/2011, at 10:40 AM, Stuart Breden wrote: On a slightly different vein. I use Notes quite a bit on my iPhone. When I synchronise my iPhone with my home G5 iMac, the notes are uploaded to MOBILEME IMAP but then I get duplicate notes back onto my iPhone. Very annoying as I am continuing deleting them. Can't find how to fix this. Can't find anything in the iPhone Settings or the Preferences in Mail. Suggestions?
