Simplifying Calendar OKs on a Mac

2019-08-27 Thread Stephen Chape
Hi folks,

My son (who is a pilot living in Dubai) shares his iCloud Calendar (flight 
roster) with me and my wife.
This means we always know where in the world he is.

When we receive his Calendar updates on our iMacs we have to Click OK to each 
update in order to install them.
Often his updates can number 70 or more (one for each day) at a time because 
his roster changes frequently.
This is a very laborious task having to click OK to 70 or more daily changes 
each time there is an update.

I cannot find a way on our iMacs to OK each batch of updates in Calendar, 
rather each day individually.
Although I did find a way to make all OKs automatic on our iPhones and iPad.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated please 梁

Regards,
Stephen Chape

How do you set photos to NOT auto open please?

It annoys me too, but I cannot find in preferences.

Hi Bill,

 

If you want to avoid similar problems in the future you should be able to set 
photos to NOT open automatically when you plug in something that would 
otherwise trigger it (card/camera/phone/ipad).

 

I remember I did this back when I used to plug my iphone into my iMac to sync 
music etc but preferred to use image capture rather than the Photos app to 
manage my photos. It used to annoy me that Photos would open every time I 
plugged the phone in – so I found the setting to switch it off.

 

Of course, you might prefer photos to open automatically - in which case I 
guess you have to remember to unplug when you have finished  ;o)

 

We all have our own ways of how we like to do these things – but I just thought 
I’d mention it.

Hi Peter,

To stop iTunes from opening automatically when you connect your iPhone, open 
iTunes and then go to Preferences by using keyboard shortcut Command-comma or 
by going to iTunes > Preferences. Next, click the Devices tab and then check 
the box for Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically

Ronni

Hi Stephen,

How to Stop Photos App Launching Automatically in OS X
Connect the iPhone, camera, SD card, etc to the Mac and let Photos app launch 
itself as usual
Under the “Import” tab of Photos app, look in the upper left corner to find the 
device name, this will indicate which hardware will no longer automatically 
activate Photos app
Click the checkbox so that “Open Photos for this device” is no longer selected 
(likewise, toggling this on would enable Photos app to open itself again 
automatically when this device is connected)
Quit out of Photos app, the change is immediate for that device – this can be 
switched back at any time in the same OS X Photos app screen

Kind Regards,
Ronni
