Add a URL to a Calendar event linking to a message in Mail

Hi,
Before Mavericks 10.9.5 update, I could manually add a URL in a Calendar event to a message in Mail by doing the following:
Show the message's header,
Find the "Message-Id: " field,
Copy the string after "Message-Id: " surrounded by "<" and ">", inclusive,
Create a Calendar event,
Type "message://" in the "Add URL" filed, and
Paste the "<...>" string after "message://".
This is very handy for planning things I need to do, when the message contains a task for me but no dates to add it to Calendar automatically. It used to work, until the last update to 10.9.5. Anyone knows how to do it any other way?
Thanks,
Kuo

Add a note to a Calendar event that was created from Mac Mail

When I create a Calendar event by clicking on a date within a Mac Mail message (you hover over a date in an email it draws a dashed box around the date and gives an option to create a Calendar event). It creates an Event in my Calendar with the following fields: Subject, Location, Date Time and alert fields, Invitees and a link to the mail message. But - I can't seem to add a Note Field. The only work-around seems to be to manually create a new calendar entry.
Does anyone know how to modify an event created from Mac Mail to add a Note Field?
iMac Retina 5K 27-inch Late 2014, OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3, Calendar Version 8.0 (2034.9), Mail Version 8.2 (2098).

Thanks Brett for replying, but this doesn't work if the event is created by Mac Mail - which is my issue. Sure it works with any other event but not one that has been created from within Mail. If this is a bug I'm sure the Calendar people point the blame at the Mail people and vice versa but that doesn't help me. But before I submit a report to Apple I thought I would see if I might be missing something obvious.
See the attached screenshot of an event that was created by Mac Mail. There is no Add Notes field when the event is Double Clicked, Right Clicked or any other form of click.

How do you add an attendee to a calendar event on the iphone 4

I want to be able to add calendar events directly on my iphone 4 and add attendees to these events in the similar way I can do this with my
Blackberry. How does one do this?

As for gdgmacguy, don't be so naive, of course Apple read every comment made on here, and my purpose for posting was pretty obvious, I thought I had missed the obvious ability to add attachments to typed out emails - thanks for the link to Apple feedback for the iPhone.
High ranked members of these forums are occasionally invited to town hall meetings with the wonderful Apple employees that created and manage these forums. As someone who has been able to interact with them directly I can say for certain that there is only a handful of staff. The do not spend all day reading posts and they rely on community policing.

Calendar event link to Mail does not update

This is interesting. In calendar when I open an event that was created from an email that I had received, there is a link in the event that says. "Show in Mail…". When I click on that link (in the calendar event), Mail becomes the active application and the email that the calendar event is based on shows up in a new window in Mail. However, if I then open another calendar even and click on the "Show in Mail…" link, the email from the first event's link come up again. Something broken??
Anyone else have this issue and any possible fix??
Thanks in advance,
DJ

IPhone adds unwanted alerts to iCloud calendar events

When I create an event on a calendar on the desktop (Mavericks) the event is getting an alert set on my iPhone (4S, iOS 7.04). There is no alert on the event when viewed via iCal on the desktop or through iCloud in the browser. This seems to be occuring on all calendars - whether shared or not.

crbesq,
On your iPhone, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Calendars...and make sure "New Invitation Alersts" is turned off.
Also check the settings for "Default Alert Times," and "Shared Calendar Alerts."

Linking replies to messages when "Mail is unable to find your response"

Hi all,
I have discovered that for some of my email Mail.app can't seem to find the reply sent when I click on the grey reply arrow that sits to the left of the email. I see the following Error Message: "Mail was unable to find your response to the message "###". You may have deleted the message." I have noticed that this usually occurs when I have replied to email via the .Mac website, instead of from my computer using Mail.app. For instance, when I travel.
The problem may be because I use my full name as the Full Name (sender identity) when replying via the .Mac website, but use my initials and surname as the Full Name (sender identity) when replying using Mail.app on my iMac. However, I am not convinced that this should make a difference as the actual email address is the same for both.
What I would like to know is, can I link the sent email to the original email? I can see them both and I'd love to be able to tell Mail, "Hey this was my reply!"
Any help or advice gratefully received.
TIA.

BUMP
Anybody know how to get the reply arrow icons to actually find the replies I have sent?
Or is this a case of whenever you reply to an email via the .Mac website, Mail.app will know you replied to it, but can't link the grey arrow to the message in the Sent Mail mailbox on the server?

The URL field for iPhone Calendar Events is missing?

iCal on my Mac and my MobileMe Calendar both include a URL field for Events. I don't see the URL field on my iPhone Calendar events??? Am I missing something. I can't automatically have that link sync from iCal or MobileMe? I don't want to always have to manually move the URL into the Notes field.
This is a very annoying - Apple can figure out fancy Multi-tasking and App Folders for iPhone OS 4 but couldn't figure out how to add a simple URL field for Calendar Events??

And your question is?

Do I have to use Edit-add link each time I want to add a URL in Mail?

There has to be another way to add a hyperlink (URL) like http://www.apple.com to a message in Mail- other than going to the menu, EDIT going to LINK and choosing add then typing or pasting in a box??
I mean even in the 15 year old Eudora Program I was using, if I type http://www.whatever.com I get an automatic hyperlink created! Please tell me that there is a way to set Mail to just interpret hyperlinks (URL's) to turn blue, get underlined and work when I just type or paste them in my message.
Thanks!
Best regards,

I am using Apple Mail 3.6 (Leopard) and it has been detecting/converting (or whatever you would like to call it) URL's I enter in the body of the email ever since I started using Mail. Unlike the original post of this message, for me Mail has been doing this almost as I type. Unfortunately, for me, I can't stand it!
I post a lot of files to our web server and then email clients and staff links to these files. The links I type tend to be a bit lengthy, about 60 characters or more - typical for web links. My frustration is that Mail will 'detect/convert' the URL to a link before I even finish typing it! I then have to place my cursor wherever Mail determined the end of the URL was in order to type the rest of the URL. This is because when Mail converts the URL it somehow takes me out of typing mode? I have to click in the body of the email again to resume typing.
Once I have finished typing the URL, I then need to select the URL portion that Mail identified and right-click 'Remove', otherwise the clickable link that gets sent in the email will error out because it is incomplete.
Finally, I have to select the entire URL, copy, right-click 'Link' and paste the URL into the Link popup. Frustratingly, sometimes, if I'm not fast enough, Mail will re-convert the original portion of the URL before I can click <OK> on the Link popup, which makes me have to start the process all over again! Very frustrating!
This detect/convert also occurs with email addresses. If I type an email address into the body of an email, Mail usually lets me finish typing it. However, while I might be a sentence or two after the email address I typed in, Mail will detect/convert the address to a link AND take me all the way back to the BEGINNING of the first email address so that as I am typing, my characters are being inserted in front of the email address!?! Again, very frustrating!
I have searched the web several times trying to find an answer to this. I finally came across a method for disabling 'Data Detectors' in Mail (see below if you want to know how to do this). However, frustratingly enough, this DID NOT disable the detect/convert of the URL and email addresses that I am talking about in this post. It only disables the detection of addresses, dates, names for use with the right-click 'Add to Address Book', etc. type of thing, which I don't mind keeping.
Does anyone know what I am talking about and have a solution for how to stop Mail from doing this? If so, I would be very thankful for a solution or any assistance. Thanks.
Disable Data Detectors
if you don’t like the data detectors that Apple added to Mail in Leopard, you can disable them by opening Terminal and typing...
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableDataDetectors YES
You have to quit Mail and restart it again. But after that, you're data detector free and loving it. Typing or pasting the exact same string, but changing "YES" to "NO," reverses the setting so that they're back on if you decide to change your mind.

Link from calendar event

Is there an easy way to provide a link from an HTMLDB-built calendar event? In other words, I have a table that has date, item and description columns, to which I have built an HTMLDB calendar on. I would like to be able to link from the item listed on the calendar to a popup (or similar) with the long description about this event. Any ideas?

Here is some great info that I got from Raj:
"when you create a calendar region in html db, the region is defined as pl/sql that pieces together a query string and sends it to the wwv_render_calendar2.show procedure. in that query, the third column becomes the link associated with your event. to get your popup window thing to work, you could change that third column to a javascript link call to a procedure that pops up a window with the extra info you're lookin' to display. say your page had access to this javascript fuction...
function popupURL(url)
{w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();}
...and your calendar was a simple report on the SCOTT.EMP table that started off like...
q := 'select "HIREDATE",
"ENAME",
null,
null,
null,
null
from "#OWNER#"."EMP"';
...you could change that third column to your javascript call like so...
q := 'select "HIREDATE",
"ENAME",
''javascript:popupURL(''''http://www.yahoo.com'''');'',
null,
null,
null
from "#OWNER#"."EMP"';
...to have the link associated with your ename values popup Yahoo windows. in your case you'd probably want your windows to have information about your events, so calling another page in your application might be the way to go. just pass it an id of some sort to retrieve the appropriate information. "
Thank You Raj.

Limited period for calendar event synchronised in BB Link

Hi All,
In Blackberry Link, I wonder how to set the period I can synchronise my calendar event between my iCal and my Blackberry Q5. Indeed, currently I do not have all my past events.
Thanks for help,
Jérémie

Hi Geek,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use a workflow to achieve your goal.
I recommend to use Start Approval Process action to meet your need.
Here are the detailed steps:
Set the “Require content approval for submitted items” to Yes in the calendar list and select “Only users who can approve items (and the author of the item)” under “Who should see draft items in this list”.
Create a workflow associated with the calendar list and set the workflow to start when an item is created.
Select Start Approval Process from Action, then click these users to set the approver(reviewer). Add a Set Workflow Variable action before the Start Approval Process step and change the settings to be: Set Variable: EnableContentApproval to Yes.
Click Approval in the step Start Approval Process, click Change the behavior of a single task under Customization.
Scroll down to the step When a Task Completes, add Send an Email action below the step If Current Task:Outcome equals Approved and step Else if Current Task:Outcome equals Rejected.
Please refer to the picture below:
After that, the approver(reviewer) will get the email and he/she can click Open Task button in the email to review and complete the task. When the approver approve/reject the task, the user will get an email and the rejected events cannot be viewed by the
users who have no permission to see the draft items.
Best regards.
Thanks

How do I add a birthday to my calendar without it being an event ?

How do I add a birthday to my calendar without it being an event ?

Add them as a Contact. They don't have to have a phone number. Just create a Contact with their name and relevant information.
Your Contacts app is used for more than just phone numbers. Email addresses, physical addresses, date of birth, etc. Use the 'Add Field' option to see all the possibilities.
