ICal alarm appears off screen.

I set up a recurring event to remind me to take my medication. When the alarm sounds the alert apppears off the left edge of the display. I'mm using an Apple 23 inch cinema display. How can I get the alarm reminder to appear in the middle of the screen where I can see it?

My iCal does that, too. I found that if I have iCal open, then the alarm appears in the center of the screen.

ICal Alarm is off screen-- An old, unfixed problem

Can anyone tell me why discussions have been closed on this bug?
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=671199
The problem was reported five months ago and never resolved by Apple.
Is it common for Apple to ignore a problem like this?

How can I fix this annoying problem?

Dialog boxes appear off screen

Hi!
I'm using Illustrator CC on a MacBook Pro. I use an external monitor as a second screen and usually move the application frame to the external monitor and work there. I started having the follwing problem: when I try to save or open a file, the dialogue box appears slightly off screen, so that I can't for instance type in a new file name, because I can't get to that part of the dialogue box.
I have tried switching between different screen modes, but it doesn't help. Also I can't manually move the dialog box - which also seems strange.
My external monitor is a NEC MultiSync EA273WM.
Any idea what could be the problem or how to solve it? It's slowly driving me mad...
Thanks in advance!

At the moment it looks like the problem is called 10.10.2
You can read through the posts of last week on this forum, but I'm afraid you won't find a solution.

Adobe Illustrator cc my open file and save dialog windows appear off screen

How do I fix this?

Figured it out. on a MAC holding down cmd-option-shift + Q did the job after logging back in.

Part of a pop-up window appears off-screen in Internet Explorer 8

The system is current with Windows Updates. I have applied the registry edit as specified here.

Duplicate ical alarms using external boot drive

I have an external firewire drive that I boot Leopard from. I carry it between home and work. At both home and at work I have similar, but not identical Mac Pro (Intel) desktop machines that stay put. In either location I can just boot from my external firewire drive and have all my OS environment and files with me. I've been doing this for months.
Every since I've set it up, though, I have had a problem with iCal alarms. If an iCal alarm goes off, say, while I'm using my external HDD at home, and I dismiss it, it never shows up again at home, even if I reboot. But if I then take the HDD into the office and boot from the external HDD there, all the alarms that went off and were cleared at home, show up all at once when I boot up at work. It also happens in reverse -- alarms cleared at work show up the next time upon boot at home. Note that I'm running from the same boot disk in both cases. I don't sync multiple calendars with .Mac.
This is particularly annoying because I have some automator ical scripts that are triggered once/day and if they run at home late at night, I don't want them running again when I boot up the next morning at work.
Anyone know a fix/workaround for this. I searched the iCal prefs, iCal help, this discussion list, and did a google search to no avail.

You can use the hardware, but will have to repartition and reinstall the OS from the disk shipped with the new Mac Mini.

If you create a disk image of the Lacie on your Mini, you can later use setup assistant to restore users and applications from that image.

Ical alarms still opening off screen

Are other people still having problems with Ical alarms opening up off screen After the 10.4.9 update?
Why would Apple say that it is finally fixed in their descriptions when it is Not?
I wonder who at Apple tests these things and how they get their results?

Add me to the list. I'm still getting my alerts almost completely off screen. As a software tester by trade, I'm a bit insulted that Apple would say it was fixed when it quite clearly is not.

Can I permanently keep the iCal alarm dialog box where I want it on screen

I've switched to iCal completely after living with Entourage for years. What I liked about the MS Office Notifications is that they open in the same position where I last left it. However, the iCal alarm always opens in the center of the screen. What's really maddening is that if I drag the alarm to the position I want it (and leave it open even), the next alarm pops it back to the center of the screen. Arghh!
Positioning it followed by quitting and relaunching iCal doesn't work. Is there any way to keep it where I want it?

This happens sometimes... it is just a bug.
This message is probably coming from your HP update manager.
An explanation: The Update manager is supposed to (of course) give you the option to download and install any available HP updates. The lack of the buttons is a buggy bit that shows up in bad instructions - sometimes the result of old code, and sometimes the result of -- the buggy bits.
Try updating your HP Support Assistant
First, get rid of any older version:
Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features >
Scroll down, find, and Uninstall HP Support Assistant.
Restart your computer after uninstalling the existing version of Support Assistant.
Install the Latest Version of the Support Assistant
HP Support Assistant
================================================================================
You can control WHEN update messages shows up,
AND whether it shows up at all.
After the Support Assistant is updated:
Call up (Open) HP Support Assistant > (Launch HP Support Assistant) >
Tune-up > View Settings > View Notification Settings >
For example: Set / CHECK "Taskbar Only" >> to turn OFF popups...
So...Select as desired... > Apply > Close the Support Assistant
================================================================================
Another method to qauickly control HP Update:
Start > search / type "HP Update" > Click on HP Update to Open >
Settings > Adjust schedule as desired
================================================================================
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,

Location of iCal alarm on screen

My iCal alarms all seem to be working properly except...they pop up almost entirely off the screen. When an alarm 'goes', I get the appropriate alarm sound, and the alarm message pops up...but I can only see the extreme left hand side of the alarm message (i.e. the rest of it is off the right side of the screen). I have to drag it back onto the screen to read it. That's fine...but I'm afraid that if my alarms don't pop up in the centre of the screen (or at least entirely on the screen) I'll not see it, and I'm going to miss whatever I'm being reminded about. Any way to make the messages pop-up in a different location?

Hi,
This is a known bug. See this thread:

How do I set iCal so that my alarms go off when in sleep mode?

I'm pretty sure that I can set iCal to open a program (iTunes) as an alarm while the computer is in sleep mode but I can't find the setting. This morning it didn't go off while in sleep mode.
Does anyone know how?

I am pretty sure that you can't. You can however use the Energy Saver in System Preferences to wake the computer at a set time, and then your iCal alarm could fire.

After migrating to new Mac iCal pop-up screen is mostly off screen ...

After migrating to new Mac iCal pop-up screen is mostly off screen and I can't seem to find a way to get it so that it pops up in the middle of the screen or anywhere else where I can see the whole thing.

This is a known bug which began to occur with the 10.4.8 update. I suggest you file a bug report with Apple. Its quite annoying and hopefully, the more people who contact Apple about it, the more importance they will give to fixing the problem.

How to stop re-popping up old ical alarms, i.e. ical calender is not deletable, but keeps on coming back on screen after 30 secs.

hi, looks like I have a cache problem,
in ical I can't remove , delete a calendar. after 30 secs it comes back on screen. same happens with old , passed ical alarms.
i deleted the ical cache User/library/ical, however did not solve the problem

>> then I get a completely blue screen.
That probably means that you're not looking at a bug in Photoshop, but a problem with a driver - and the most likely cause would be your video card driver.
And sure enough, your video card driver is almost 2 years out of date.
Please go to NVidia's website and get the latest driver - then follow their directions for installation (so you don't get bits of old driver left over).

We are all users here. You are not talking to apple on these forums. There is no way anyone here can know the decision making process apple uses to determine what changes to make to the operating system. Also none of use care about which phone you might buy next.

After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
Good luck
