How do I stop a shared calendar from sending a separate alert from each device it's loaded on?

I have shared calendars in iCal that are shared by:
- a Macbook
- an iPod Touch
- an iPad; and
- two iPhones (4S and 5)
When I create and event with an alert email, the alert is emailed to me 3+ times. Quite annoying. Any ideas how to resolve or have only one alert as I've set for the event?
Separartely, I do have problems with iCal inserting alerts that I don't set (not default here, just plain added alerts). That is manageable but it's the multiple identical alerts, especially emails, that are wasting my time.
FYI OS on Macs is current, iOS 7 on mobiles (though this problem pre-dates the update.

Oh right - also shared on an iMac that has previous OS X.

How do i stop getting shared calendar invitations?

How do i stop getting shared calendar invitations which require a deleting action.

Going to answer my own question after searching the web a bit more...
The setting is not in the Notification Center, where you'd expect... it's in the Calendar app on OS X, and in the Mail, Contacts and Calendar settings in iOS 6 (don't know about 7 yet ).
In OS X, open your Calendar and from the menu bar choose Calendar > Preferences and then highlight the Alerts tab. Second from the bottom is a checkbox labelled "Turn off shared calendar messages in Notification Center"... it's unchecked, and you need to put a check mark (aka tick) in that box. To be honest, I think this is poorly designed, because putting a check mark in a box to disable a setting is rather like a double negative, and probably why I've seen so many people think they have this set correctly when in fact the opposite is true.
There's a similar setting on iPhones/iPads too, and again it's hidden away, but at least it's the right way round. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and scroll right to the bottom. Where it says "Shared Calendar Alerts" change this setting to "OFF" (it's ON by default).

How do I stop getting shared calendar notifications?

If I share a calendar to someone in read-only mode, how can I prevent them from being spammed with notifications every time I add or change appointments? Similarly, when I've subscribed to someone else's shared calendar, can I prevent myself from being similarly spammed?

How can I access a shared calendar from the web ?

Hi !
I use OSX SL, iCal 4.0.4, MobileMe.
When I share an ical calendar, I can not access it from the web. I can share it with other ical users, but can not find the correct url to access it from Safari. I have been searching the net and find suggestions, but all of them is about using the url stated in the share-dialog. When I share a calendar, there is no url for web access.
Hope someone can help.

There is a method for publishing a MobileMe calendar to a web page (as can still be done with an 'On My Mac' calendar, though of course that won't sync to other devices).
The method is almost a hack, and depends on what appears to be a bug in iCal, so there is no guarantee that it will work, or continue to work, or won't cause problems. Also it appears that once published the calendar cannot be removed from the web page, even if the original is deleted.
With those caveats in mind, please see this web page:
http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/icalpublish.html
Note that there is a simpler method, involving exporting your MobileMe calendar as an .ics file, re-importing it as an 'On My Mac' calendar, and publishing it in the usual way. However of course it won't update if you update the MobileMe version, and if you make it the only version then of course it won't sync to MobileMe. It's one or the other, or use the hack described above.

How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot. You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services. The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

Cannot remove nameless shared calendars from removed users

My Calendar (hosted by my server, all latest versions) doesn't allow me to remove old nameless shared calendars from removed users.
I can delete the nameless share's in the Share window of Calendar but they return immediately with a refresh. The same behavior can be seen on every device with the same (Caldav) account.
Does anybody knows how to force remove these old nameless shared calendars or where I have to look (Caldav database?).
Gratitude!

Try CMD K, then remove them from the list.

How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are in the same account because its sharing every thing even text messages

How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy

An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync. Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want.

How do I stop Serial "VISA Read" from giving me packets instead of available bytes.

Dear Labvillians,
Highlight:
How do I stop serial "VISA read" from giving me packets instead of bytes?
Background:
I have a system that serially publishes 14 byte packets on a semi-regular interval.
At busy times, the producer of these these packets queues the data, effectively producing super-packets in multiples of 14 bytes sometimes as large as 8 packets (112 bytes).
My protocol handler has been designed to processes bytes, packets or super-packets.
My application now has multiple devices and the order of message processing is critical to correct functionality.
My observation is that the VISA read waits until the end of a packet/ super-packet before passing the data to the application code. (See Plot Below)
My expectation is that VISA read should give me available bytes, and not get too smart for itself and wait for a packet.
I have observed this on PXI, Embedded PC, cFP and most recently, cRIO
I have experimented with the cRIO's Scan interface rate, which helps with reducing the packet backlog but doesn't resolve to sub-packet byte read.
I understand that one solution is to Write FPGA code to handle it and pass the bytes through R/T-FIFO, and there are some great examples on this site.
Unfortunately this doesn't help with non FPGA devices.
I have also dabbled in event based serial reads but it is diabolical on vxWorks devices.
Any Help is appreciated

How do I stop my MacBook Pro from making shortcuts on my desktop when I'm moving a folder

So my question is,
How do I stop my MacBook Pro from making shortcuts on the desktop when I'm trying to move the original photo, all I want to do is move a picture from a folder on the desktop without making a shortcut!

Hi RockHazard,
If you want to change the behavior of the Finder when moving files around you can use keyboard shortcuts.
OS X: Keyboard shortcuts - Apple Support
Way down under Finder shortcuts we find:
Command key while dragging
Move the dragged item to another volume or location
(the pointer changes while key is held)
Option key while dragging
Copy the dragged item
(the pointer changes while key is held)
Command-Option key combination while dragging
Make an alias of the dragged item
(the pointer changes while key is held)
Best regards,
Nubz

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

How can I stop the voice over from my apple tv

I have just connected my Apple TV which appears to be working ok. How do I stop the interactive voice from speaking.

I have the 2nd Gen Apple TV and it is where I said. Have you updated yours to the latest firmware/software? I can't see why you are unable to find it otherwise. I will take pictures if you want me to.

How can I stop mail on iPad from going to next message when deleting an email?

How can I stop the mail app from moving to the next message when deleting an email?
I like to keep messages as new until I can take action on them, but this just makes an unnecessary step. I do not have this problem on my iPhone, but I am still running 5.0.1 on the phone and have the new iPad 5.1 software.

Hi furiousbalancing,
With regards to deleting messages in Mail, you may find the following portion of the following article helpful:
To prevent the next message from being automatically selected (and marked as read), hold down the Option key when you delete a message.
Mail (Mavericks): Delete messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14900
You can also use Command-Shift-U to toggle a message between Read and Unread (command should be the same in Mavericks):
Mail (Mountain Lion): Keyboard shortcuts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11679
You can also close the Preview portion of the Mail window, which should then require you to double-click on a message to open it and have it show as read (it appears the double click on the seperator may no longer work in Mavericks, but you should still be able to drag it to make it disappear):
