A few Serious Improvements to be made in iCal

What is really needed: TEXT LAYOUT, Fonts and Bold/Italic/Underlines/Colors, etc. This is totally essential. It cant be considered professional until it has those basics. For example, if a particular event has a list of 5 items, I cant even get those 5 items to show up aligned to the left of the event bubble!
The ability to write comments in the day without creating a new event.
Multiple layout: 2 columns of 3 and 4 days for example would make more space for text (the column of 3 days would have the month calendar on top). This is a quite common calendar layout.
A more classic look, I dont need colours gradients on my calendar and fancy shapes, nor automatic colours inversions when I click on an event. An almost black and white calendar would do fine: as long as I can change my text layout and use the fonts I wish.
(feel free to add.)
Thanks,

You're right, iCal is well suited for creating calendars for presentation purposes.
You should let Apple know what you think here:

  • What improvements are being made in the next SA500 firmware release?

    I have noticed that there is a release candidate firmware release available for the SA500 series. What improvements are being made in the next SA500 firmware release?

    The improvements are around VPN and NAT.
    The best way to get more details is to look at the release notes which come with the RC1 trial.
    You can send me a private message and I can forward you the release notes if you preferred.

  • Suggestion: Serious improvement of App Store

    Hi!
    I think it would be a very serious improvement of App Store, if the lists/overviews of apps contained a small description of each app, so that you don't need to click on every single app to get any ideas of what it is and what it can!
    Thanks!

    Well... If my response should be as short as yours, it would be:
    Http/1.1 Service Unavailable
    So could you expand on what you are trying to say?

  • Seriously, Stop the DUPLICATE Madness! Is there a fix for my duplicate songs on my iPad? Like really, I don't have time to drag and delete my songs. Does Apple really have a simple solution to this bug?

    Seriously, Stop the DUPLICATE Madness! Is there a fix for my duplicate songs on my iPad? Like really, I don't have time to drag and delete my songs. Does Apple really have a simple solution for this bug? It's been 5-months, I currently do not have quick access to a sync, I thought iMatch for Christmas would solve the problem but it appears that doesn't solve anything either....help please! If I listen to my kid's lula-bye song in duplicate for another night I'm going to seriously loose it on Little Boy Peep. Like really Apple do I need to call IN and pay for this problem?

    The possible problem appears to me that songs that were previously loaded onto the iPad device from Mac were duplicated when I started to sync with iCloud. An album will contain one song from the iPad that was originally loaded on sync with Mac and another that will appear either with a little iCloud icon next to the song greyed out or a DUPLICATE song.
    I had hoped iMatch would solve the issue magically, but that does not appear to be the case.

    Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP, it's covered by a 1 year hardware warranty. If you have AppleCare then give them a call but I'm pretty sure they will advise the same. If you have not purchased AppleCare yet please do, this will extend the warranty to 3 years however it MUST be purchased within the first  year of ownership. Let it go 366 days and you are out of luck. AppleCare will also include telephone support too.
    Good luck.

  • A Few Serious Questions for ALL Programmers

    I am fairly new to programming ,and ,so far, have only finished 2 programming classes at the college I attend.
    One class was a mix of Program Logic and C++.
    The other was Visual Basic.
    Right now I am in Java 1.
    I absolutely LOVED C++ and Visual Basic, especially the latter.
    I know a lot of people bash VB but I really liked it and I don't know why so many people "Pick on" it.
    Anyway, I finished TOP in my class for VB and am well on my way to finishing top in the Java class.Not because I am a genius, but because I really put alot into it and even the smallest things sometimes takes me hours.
    I sit at my computer and when I get an idea, I usually do not stop until I have it figured out.
    I find the answers most of the time but IT COMES REALLY HARD TO ME!
    The problem I am having is this: When I come here and see some of the sample codes and sample codes that I see elsewhere, like for a " 3D Molecule viewer" I get VERY frustrated because I feel like, to get anywhwere, I will have to be a genius like the people who write such code.
    My fear is that I will only get to be mediocre at best and there will be no place for me in the Programming world...
    I guess what I am really asking is this:If you are a great programmer, like somone who can whip out code for ANYTHING, did you always "Get It" or did it seem like you never would and eventually had an epiphany and "Got It".?...
    Also, how much of programming is about using existing classes and how much is totally writing your own Classes and Methods.
    I know the phrase, "Why re-invent the wheel?" but how much good does it do for me if I parse code all the time?--what are your thoughts on this?

    Not because I am a genius, but because I really put alot into it and even the smallest things sometimes takes me hours. I sit at my computer and when I get an idea, I usually do not stop until I have it figured out. I find the answers most of the time but IT COMES REALLY HARD TO ME!You have hit on a key component here. Your willingness to sit there for hours on end trying and trying and trying. Even then, when it still won't run properly, you get back at it tommorrow and try some more. Many people do not have this patience, and get distracted by the TV, or by their friends, or by their friends and TV ...and they walk away after an hour.
    I too received the highest marks in nearly every class I took at school. Classmates used to say "Ya, but this stuff comes easy to you." No it didn't, I just spend more time with the labs than they did ...thats why I always received the better grades. I appeared to know more, but really I had just made more mistakes than most of my classmates. When it came to the exams, I was like "Oh, I made that mistake last week". My peers, however, had not made these mistakes yet and got tricked into choosing wrong answers on their exams.
    I think programming experience creeps into our brain subconciously while we do it. One day, certain things that once boggled your mind will seem second nature. This comes from just doing it. I think you sound like you are on the right track. And don't worry, even though I know about a few things in Java ...I am constantly in awe of most of the good people I see throughout this forum. Everyone has something to teach, and everyone can always learn something new. What is important is that you don't get discouraged and give up. Now enough of the pep talk, where's my coffee and my compiler. Ah, there they are.
    Good luck and I wish you all the best.

  • KEYCHAIN made my iCAL gone!

    somehow, i changed my keychain without careful thought.
    my iCAL, internet setting, favorites and everything is gone now.
    unfortunately, i didn't back up my iCAL.
    is there any way to recover my all diary in iCAL?
    HELPPPPPPPPPP

    thank you for your concern..nsxstorm.
    first of all, i reorganized my folders. cleaning up and rearranging..
    then, when i tried to log into one of my email accouts, window popped out and it said i need to confirm my keychain....which never happened before.
    so i reset my keychain.
    then, eventually, all settings went back to default.
    my internet favorites, background setting, address book.....all gone...empty.
    now i don't care about other things but I put so much efforts into iCAL.....didn't backup before but hoping that there are some way to get those back???

  • My music quality drops half way through - wave file, is there a way to make an improvement

    My music sound quality drops half way through - its a wave file, is there a way to make a the other half as good as the first half?

    Firstly can you tell us what sort of drop in quality in you are experiencing? Is this music that you have recorded yourself using Audition or is it imported from somewhere else? Without knowing what has happened to it it is impossible to say if any improvement can be made.
    If it is audio that you have recorded and edited in Audition you must have done something to it to make it change half way through. You will probably need to go back a few steps in your editing process to recover the sound.

  • Improving performance in a merge between local and remote query

    If you try to merge two queries, one local (e.g. table in Excel) and one remote (table in SQL Server), the entire remote table is loaded in memory in order to apply the NestedJoin condition. This could be very slow. In my case, the goal is to import only
    those rows that have a product name listed in a local Excel table.
    I used the SelectRows by using the list of values of the local query (having only one column) in order to apply an "IN ('value1', 'value2', ...)" condition in the SQL statement generated by Power Query (see examples below).
    Questions:
    Is there another way to do that in "M"?
    Is there a way to build such a query (filter a table by using values obtained in another query) by using the user interface?
    Is this a scenario that could be better optimized in the future by improving query folding made by Power Query?
    Thanks for the feedback!
    Local Query
    let
        LocalQuery = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="LocalTable"]}[Content]
    in
        LocalQuery
    Remote Query
    let
        Source = Sql.Databases("servername"),
        Database = Source{[Name="databasename"]}[Data],
        RemoteQuery = OasisDataMart{[Schema="schemaname",Item="tablename"]}[Data]
    in
        RemoteQuery
    Merge Query (from Power Query user interface)
    let
        Merge = Table.NestedJoin(LocalQuery,{"ProductName"},RemoteQuery,{"ProductName"},"NewColumn",JoinKind.Inner),
        #"Expand NewColumn" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Merge, "NewColumn", {"Description", "Price"}, {"NewColumn.Description", "NewColumn.Price"})
    in
        #"Expand NewColumn"
    Alternative merge approach (editing M - is it possible in user interface?)
    let
        #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(RemoteQuery, each List.Contains ( Table.ToList(LocalQuery), [ProductName] ))
    in
        #"Filtered Rows"

    Bingo! You've find a serious performance issue!
    The very same result can be produced in a fast or slow way.
    Slow technique: do the RemoveColumns before the SelectRows (maybe you don't have to apply any transformations to the table you want to filter before the SelectRows - I haven't tested this):
    let
        Source = Sql.Databases(".\k12"),
        AdventureWorksDW2012 = Source{[Name="AdventureWorksDW2012"]}[Data],
        dbo_FactInternetSales = AdventureWorksDW2012{[Schema="dbo",Item="FactInternetSales"]}[Data],
        #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(dbo_FactInternetSales,{"SalesOrderLineNumber", "RevisionNumber", "OrderQuantity", "UnitPrice", "ExtendedAmount", "UnitPriceDiscountPct", "DiscountAmount", "ProductStandardCost", "TotalProductCost",
    "SalesAmount", "TaxAmt", "Freight", "CarrierTrackingNumber", "CustomerPONumber", "OrderDate", "DueDate", "ShipDate", "DimCurrency", "DimCustomer", "DimDate(DueDateKey)", "DimDate(OrderDateKey)", "DimDate(ShipDateKey)", "DimProduct", "DimPromotion", "DimSalesTerritory",
    "FactInternetSalesReason"}),
        #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Removed Columns", each List.Contains(Selection[ProductKey],[ProductKey]))
    in
        #"Filtered Rows"
    Fast technique: do the RemoveColumns after the SelectRows
    let
        Source = Sql.Databases(".\k12"),
        AdventureWorksDW2012 = Source{[Name="AdventureWorksDW2012"]}[Data],
        dbo_FactInternetSales = AdventureWorksDW2012{[Schema="dbo",Item="FactInternetSales"]}[Data],
        #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(dbo_FactInternetSales, each List.Contains(Selection[ProductKey],[ProductKey])),
        #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"SalesOrderLineNumber", "RevisionNumber", "OrderQuantity", "UnitPrice", "ExtendedAmount", "UnitPriceDiscountPct", "DiscountAmount", "ProductStandardCost", "TotalProductCost",
    "SalesAmount", "TaxAmt", "Freight", "CarrierTrackingNumber", "CustomerPONumber", "OrderDate", "DueDate", "ShipDate", "DimCurrency", "DimCustomer", "DimDate(DueDateKey)", "DimDate(OrderDateKey)", "DimDate(ShipDateKey)", "DimProduct", "DimPromotion", "DimSalesTerritory",
    "FactInternetSalesReason"})
    in
        #"Removed Columns"
    I think that Power Query team should take a look at this.
    Thanks!

  • Safari - suggested improvements

    Safari on the iPhone is almost a brilliant browser. A few small improvements would really help it though. They are all to do with multiple pages.
    First, when you go to another page you loaded previously, Safari reloads it. This shouldn't happen, as it is time consuming and takes away most of the point of having multiple pages.
    Second, the pages don't load simultaneously - only one page loads at a time. What would be good is if you could open a series of pages at the same time, then by the time you've read one, the others would be waiting for you. This would dramatically reduce wait-time, but of course would only work if the the first problem above were fixed.
    Finally, some way of opening links in a new page would also be great. Think of the home page of a news site - if you could open several articles from the one page, then they were all waiting for you by the time you'd read the first one, Safari really would be the best mobile browser around.
    So, any chance of these changes being made for the next iPhone software release?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Tell Apple--you are just asking other iPhone users here, and they don't know what Apple plans to do.
    http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Anyone who does know what Apple plans to do is under NDA to not tell anyone. Incidentally, your feature requests would depend as much on overcoming memory and network limitations as Apple coding something.
    You might check out the app Instapaper, which is an offline reader that I suspect exists to workaround these types of annoyances. I haven't tried it myself, but I've seen a lot of good reviews.

  • So-called improvements

    To Whom it may concern I was going to ask for a chat, but even that is now difficult, Oh! Sorry was that part of the improvement? Because I have just downloaded the latest version of SKYPE, and would like to ask what improvements have been made.Last night I had a perfect 2.5 hour session with my brother, both had a great picture and the sound was good. NOW HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE ON THAT?However, now I have now lost the display of my contacts profile pictures, which has been there since SKYPE began, Squares, then circles and now none, and the amount of signal saving is negligible, and as an Avionics Engineer, I know.Another complaint I have, is, I have selected to be visible “ONLY TO MY CONTACTS”, but I have had a number of requests to be added as a contact to other users, from S Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Botswana, Hungary, Bulgaria just to name a few.Now, if I am only visible to my contacts, how is it that I receive these invitations, or do they just ‘look’ up to the sky and say, Ah, Joe Bloggs? And call me, I don’t think so.I have told you that your heading, ”SKYPE is better with friends” I have said, SKYPE is the greatest with any-one, so why just friends, and I do not wish to be rude to the person who put that in, but is that is all He or She has?You Cannot Improve the Operation of SKYPE, all that is needed is the name of your contact, and YES a picture is not necessary, it only serves for, ‘Visual’ recognition.I am just going to send this to ‘Chat’ or ‘Email’ in the hope that some responsible person will read it and act accordingly.I do not wish a response because there is not enough time to type an answer when talking to a representative on Chat.However finally I will say, I cannot say you have made the operation worse, NO, but you definitely have not improved any part of it eitherDoes any-one agree with this, that’s if it is displayed?

    Have you tried searching the forum? There's been lots of topics about v50 already.
    If it's taking that long to save a photo then you either have a slightly corrupt memory card or some other problem that requires a reset.

  • Can dictation be improved?

    I have read somewhere that the dictation will adapt to your voice and you can train it. Is there a way to expedite this? For example reading a passage and on the fly correcting the words it interprets from you so that it starts to recognize your speech anomalies?
    RG

    They made significant improvements to the EDGE network prior to the iPhone launch (users of EDGE modems noticed an increase in their download speed), so improvements CAN be made BUT nothing can be done from the phone side. You may have even noticed that your speed varies depending on your location and time of day (related to how much capacity is in the area and how many users are using it).
    I'd imagine that this is currently as good as it can be in some areas, with other areas still requiring additional hardware to reach it's potential, but the best is still going to be slower than 3G.

  • New improvement for Java syntax

    Hi developers
    I develop in java each day and the new project that I am envolved uses too much multithreading. So i thought that a litle improvement could be made on java syntax.
    When two threads uses the same class attribute we must synchronize the access to this.
    class myClass {
    private int myAtribute = 0;
    thread1: We must access the attribute synchronized....
    shynchronized (this) {
    myAttribute = 1;
    thread2: The same....
    synchronized (this) {
    myAttribute = 3;
    thread2: But if i don't care.... :-(
    myAttribute = 4;
    Ok, that is the problem.
    I thought to solve this the java language must give us the chance to declare attributes in the way...
    private synchronize int myAttribute = 0;
    to be only accesed by sinchronized methods or by synchronized blocks in order to force interpreter to check if any method access this attribute without being synchronized in compiling time.

    In your example, wouldn't the volatile keyword normally suffice?
    private volatile int myAttribute = 0;Graeme
