How can I get mail to automatically update calendar invites without actually opening calendar and disrupting my work?

I like mail to continue placing new invitations into my calendar so that I can accept (or reject) them when convenient.  However I would like to be able to work in an application without being disrupted whenever someone sends me lots of invitations.  Is there a way to prevent mail from opening calendar and making it the main screen?
Thanks.

Most likely the library blocks the ports needed for sending and receiving mail. Check with them.

There is no such Thunderbird setting.

  • EF6: How can I get navigation properties automatically updated?

    I've defined the following entities:
    public abstract class EntityBase
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public class Person : EntityBase
    public virtual HashSet<Message> Messages { get; set; }
    public int CountryId { get; set; }
    public virtual Country Country { get; set; }
    public class Message : EntityBase
    public string Text { get; set; }
    public int PersonId { get; set; }
    public Person Person { get; set; }
    public class Country : EntityBase
    internal class TestContext : DbContext
    public DbSet<Person> Persons { get; set; }
    public DbSet<Country> Countries { get; set; }
    Here's my problem: While the Messages.Person navigation property gets automatically updated according to the Messages.PersonId
    foreign key property value when my changes get saved to the database, the Person.Country
    navigation property remains null although the Person.CountryId
    foreign key property is != 0.
    Why is this happening? Why does the Messages.Person navigation property get aligned with the Messages.PersonId
    foreign key property automatically while the Person.Country navigation property does not get aligned with the Person.CountryId
    foreign key property?
    These are the entity values before SaveChanges() is called:
    person.CountryId = 1
    person.Country = null
    message.PersonId = 1
    message.Person = null
    And these are the entity values after SaveChanges() is called:
    person.CountryId = 1
    person.Country = null
    message.PersonId = 1
    message.Person = { Id = 1, Name = "Test" }
    Your help is appreciated.
    Still people out there alive using the keyboard?
    Working with SQL Server/Office/Windows and their poor keyboard support they seem extinct...

    Thank you for replying, Fred.
    Here's the unit test code I'm using (it calls into a repository which more or less simply calls DbSet<Entity>::Add()
    and SaveChanges();.
    [TestMethod]
    public void MessageDbTest()
    using (Repository<Person> rp = new Repository<Person>(true))
    Person p;
    Message m;
    BusinessLayer.TestContext.CreateNewDB();
    rp.AddOrUpdate(p = new Person("Hello", 1));
    Assert.AreEqual<int>(1, p.Id);
    Assert.AreEqual<string>("Hello", p.Name);
    m = new Message("Hello, too", p.Id, "This is a long test message.");
    p.Messages.Add(m);
    rp.AddOrUpdate(p);
    Assert.AreSame(m, p.Messages.Single());
    Assert.IsNotNull(m.Person);
    Assert.AreEqual<int>(1, m.Id);
    Assert.AreEqual<string>("Hello, too", m.Name);
    Assert.AreEqual<string>("This is a long test message.", m.Text);
    p = rp.GetItem(1);
    p.Messages.Single().Name = "This works, too";
    rp.AddOrUpdate(p);
    [TestMethod]
    public void CountryDbTest()
    using (Repository<Person> rp = new Repository<Person>(true))
    Person p;
    Message m;
    BusinessLayer.TestContext.CreateNewDB();
    rp.AddOrUpdate(p = new Person("Hello", 1));
    Assert.AreEqual<int>(1, p.Id);
    Assert.AreEqual<string>("Hello", p.Name);
    Assert.AreEqual<int>(1, p.CountryId);
    Assert.IsNotNull(p.Country); // ** fails ! ***
    Following is a number of screenshots, depicting the entities' properties.
    Please notice the highlighted navigation property values in the Watch window on the right.
    You will notice that while the Messages.Person navigation property gets aligned with the Messages.PersonId
    foreign key property, the Person.Country navigation property does not get aligned with the Person.CountryId
    foreign key property when TestContext::SaveChanges() is called:

  • I have an old apple id that i havent used for years. For some reason i have updates on my mac i cannot do unless i sign onto that old account. It uses an old e mail account i no longer use or have access to. How can i get to do these updates?

    I have an old apple id that i havent used for years. For some reason i have updates on my mac i cannot do unless i sign onto that old account. It uses an old e mail account i no longer use or have access to. How can i get to do these updates?

    its very specific.
    If you are seeing the old Apple ID with regard to this Mac, then it would seem that somehow you have incorporated the ID in the setup of this new Mac.
    Iphoto i use never used imovie.
    If you began using iPhoto without having Accepted it into your Apple ID, then that would explain why you are unable to update the app. If any of the iLife apps are used without Accepting them into your Apple ID, the ability to accept them will lapse and you will not be able to update them.

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

  • How can I get Mail to capitalise the first letter of a sentence?

    Hello all,
    this is my first time using apple Support Community.  i am a new apple user and have just got my first MacBookPro (its wonderful).  however, i am having some difficulties. 
    How can i get Mail to capitalize the first letter of a sentence and also capitalize 'i' as 'I' automatically?
    Also, how can i get apps like Pages to do the same? and for that matter typing into internet sites like this one? look at the lack of automatic punctuation!!
    Thank you all for any advice and tips you may have. 
    Paul.

    I don't think whether it's easier or not is really an issue.  The problem is that all of these wonderful technologies are taking away our understanding of how to communicate in writing.  It's not a matter of being lazy and not "wanting" to do it, but rather getting to a point where many people "can't" do it.
    I certainly wasn't pointing any fingers.  I use a calculator (or computer if I happen to be on one at the time) to do the most basic math calculations.  I can be out to lunch with co-workers and we have to pull out a calculator to split a bill 4 ways.  I went through school at a time when calculators were not permitted.  So, at one time, I could have easily done all of that stuff in my head.  So far as math goes, my mind has turned to mush a long time ago.  I doubt I could work my way through a long division problem at this point... even if I sat there and really tried.
    Computers were not generally consumer items when I was growing up.  So I didn't grow up in a world with spell checking.  I have certainly grown to use it though and I'm sure my ability to spell properly has diminished somewhat because of it.  I tend to be less careful when typing something out.  If I'm not sure of the spelling on something, I just let my computer either fix it or give me a suggestion for the corrected spelling.  Fortunately, I grew up having to rely on my own ability to spell, so with that foundation, I tend to do fairly well when it comes to spelling.
    We're at a point now where systems can correct grammar and sentence structure.  I think all of these are great tools to help us out, but they shouldn't be used to take the place of actually knowing how to do things.  Having said that, I'm fairly sure that is exactly what will happen.  Just as today, I rely almost entirely on some form of electronics for everyday math, I'm sure people growing up today with expert systems able to correct everything will rely on those equally.

    How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    Hello Arthur,
    Thank you for the reply.
    You were correct that deleting the app and reinstalling it was the only thing to make it work but unfortunately I lost all the documents I made, even though they were backed up to iCloud before i deleted the app. At the same time as deleting pages I had to delete keynote and numbers too, so I've lost all the documents in them too.
    The mb of data which was assigned to each programme in iCloud has reduced, so. I guess they are gone for good. Is there any other way to reaccess them?
    Not your fault but I am a bit fed up the the iPad. I have lost work that I've done and have no other copy apart from what was in iCloud, as I don't have a printer and couldn't email them too myself as I couldn't get into the programme and  i've also got episodes of tv series I purchased that I can't download and albums that are half downloaded with songs missing, so I feel a bit swindled out of time and money and am going back to DVD ,  pen and paper and CDs .
    Instead of using iCloud I guess the only way to make sure I don't loose any more documents it to email them to myself each time I save them on the iPad. Is there anything else you could suggest please?
    I don't have any other apple products apart from iPods, so I can't access the iCloud on anything else can I?
    Thanks
    Amanda

  • How can I get mail to address addressees by their first name, first?

  • How can I get Mail to 'forget' old email addresses?

    Several work contacts have recently changed their email addresses, but when I type their names in the To: box in Mail, it brings up both the new and old addresses.
    None of these email addresses are in my Address Book, Mail is obviously just picking them up from previous emails I have sent and received  to/from these people.
    How can I get Mail to 'forget' these old email addresses and just bring up the current ones?
    (I have already accidentally sent emails to the old addresses because they are coming up in the drop-down menu. I would much prefer it to be idiot-proof and not bring the out of date addresses up at all)
