Add alarms to multiple events

Hi,
I've imported a number of events into my iCal calendar for anniversaries and birthdays, using Dates to iCal 2. This is supposed to set up alarms when selected, which I did. However, it didn't set up the alarms.
As I've got probably over 100 events which I want to have alarms on I don't want to go in to each event individually to set them up if at all possible. I'd really like to shortcut this if at all possible as all of the alarms will be set to the same time frames, ie 5 days before - send email. 4 days before - pop up message.
Is there a way to set the alarm for multiple events at once, be it in iCal, through Automator or AppleScript for example?
Many thanks

Hi John,
I never expected to get the developer on here!
Here's how I've got it set up...
General tab
I've got the Sync Address Book dates to iCal checked.
For Birthday events and Anniversary events I've got the text "Birthdays and Anniversaries" so that they both go into the same calendar.
I've left only sync for group blank as I want it for all.
Titles tab
For both Birthday and Anniversary I've got the the same fields, set to...
First name | Last name | : | type | age
Alarms tab
In this tab I've got
Email: 5 days before at 08:00 ticked for Birthdays and Anniversaries
Message: 4 days before at 10:00 ticked for Birthdays and Anniversaries
I've got no other alarms set.
I've got the email set to my personal email address.
The path for the alarms to my Home folder
Sound for alarms as Basso
When I then close Dates 2 iCal it creates the events in iCal, but not the alarms.
One further query, I've just done a reinstall of my system and since reinstalling Dates 2 iCal the Buy/Register button is greyed out, so I'm unable to reregister it, I purchased it a good while back as I've found it a really useful tool.
Many thanks

Multiple Alarms on Random Events

I have discovered many, seemingly random, calendar events with multiple duplicate alarms. I am convinced that this is causing sluggish and other quirky behaviors in iCal. It is taking forever to delete them individually. Is there any way to delete all alarms for selected, or all, calendars in one action? Perhaps a terminal command or file that can be deleted?
I also want to make sure that the duplicate alarms are not put back into the calendars when I sync with .mac.

Hi Fred,
This applescript should delete every event alarm in the calendars you select when you run it:
tell application "iCal"
set myCals to (choose from list (title of (every calendar) as list) with prompt "Choose calendar(s) to delete alarms" with title "John Maisey - Delete Alarms" with multiple selections allowed)
set myTimer to current date
repeat with myCal in myCals
repeat with myEvent in every event in calendar myCal
delete every display alarm of myEvent
delete every mail alarm of myEvent
delete every open file alarm of myEvent
delete every sound alarm of myEvent
end repeat
end repeat
display dialog "Deletion done in " & ((current date) - myTimer) & " seconds" buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with title "John Maisey - Delete Alarms" with icon 1
end tell
Depending on the number of events & alarms it's possible it may take some time to run.
Best wishes

Is it possible to add a reminder to multiple events?

I would like to select multiple events and add a reminder to all of them. Is it possible?
Thanks.

Or, you can use QT Pro to concatenate files. Open up the file you want to add to all the others and copy it.
Then open up each file in QT player, move the playhead to the end of the file and select "Add to Movie" from the menu. Then save it.

Adding multiple events to a single ics Calendar file

I'm facing a weird problem here. Whenever I generate an ics file with a single event and open it, the event automatically integrates nto my outlook calendar. That's very fine. However, when i add more than 1 event to a single ics file, and when i open it,
it creates a new calendar in Outlook, doesn't integrate into my default outlook calendar. Please help me with this issue.....

Can I have multiple event structures with the same event cases?

Hello,
I'm doing an application that reproduces the front panel of the HP6675A power supply. To achieve this, I have done a state machine with different states
(initialize, measures, voltage, current, ocp, ov, store, recall, etc). In each state, should have an event structure that catches the events of the buttons, like for example: if the current state is the Voltage mode and the user press the current button the next state will be the Current mode. For this in each state of the state machine should be the same event structure with the same events.
My problem is that the Vi doesn't work properly when I have multiple event structures with the same event cases. There are some possibily to do this, and how? Or is impossible to have multiple events? I have been reading some posts, but I don't find solutions.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Solved!

Or as others mentioned, make two parallel loops. In one loop, have your state machine. In the other, have just the Event Handler. Pass the events from the handler to the state machine by way of queues.
A proper state machine will not need the second loop. The "Wait For Event" or "Idle" state (whatever you want to call it) is all you really need in order to catch the user button presses. The setup is almost there. Maybe add a shift register to keep track of which state to go to in the case of a timeout on the Event Structure.

Is there a way to get an alarm for my events for the iCal on the iPhone 4?

Is there a way to get an alarm for my events for the iCal on the iPhone 4?

Greetings,
See page 113 of the iPhone 4 user manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
When you add an event to the Calendar.app of the iPhone 4 there is an "Alert" option which should give you the desired result.

Is it possible to handle multiple events using Jscript for a button in Apex

Hi,
I've application wherein in one of the pages for a button, I need to trigger 2 events as: 1. redirect to a new page upon 'click' of the button
2. display a set of values on 'mouse over' that button.
I'm able to handle both separately, but not in one button. I would like to know if there is any limitation in Apex that we cant handle multiple events? Currently I've put a text item near the button, and called the Jscript for mouse over event in that as a temporary workaround. Can someone let me know if this is feasible? If not any other alternative to handle this?
Thanks in advance,
gsachidh

Hi Gsachidh,
well interesting problem you're facinng. Indeed, it can't be specified using the 'Button Attributes' So we have to come up with an workaround.
A quick en dirty solution would be to specify it with the 'Optional URL Redirect options'. In a normal button, with processing on same page, this would be 'no target'. but in case of additional things to be done this can be used, using an target URL. I used this many times, in example with popUp windows for refreshing the caller object when changes are made. In your case we have to add next to the href an onmouseover event. this can be done with;
Target set to => URL
URL - target => javascript:doSubmit('<button_name>');" onMouseOver="javascript:showTooltip('tooltip');"
Here the " is the key, letting ApEx know the target (href) is doSubmit('<button_name>'), just like when no target would be specified and adding a new javascript event; onMouseOver.
Although this is a dirty solution in my opinion, it is the best i could come up with. I have another idea in how to do this, that is by adding this event dynamically with javascript with an addEvent. But i don't have an example at the moment for this scenario.

IPhoto book from multiple events.

How do you create an iPhoto book from multiple events/albums? I start making a new book based on an album, but then want to add pictures from another event and another album. Can this be done and how?

Sure - once you create the book it is totally disconnected form teh source - to add simply drag photos from any source to the book project in the source pane on the left

Duplicate alarms for calendar events on N9

I noticed I get multiple alarms for calendar events on my N9. For some events, I get four times the same notification. I also sometimes get notifications for deleted events.
I sync my calendar over bluetooth. Since I had some troubles setting up the sync, I deleted the calendar a few times and synced again. So I have the impression that the alarms of the events of the deleted calendars are still stored in some database. I guess this causes the same alarm to be triggered multiple times and alarms for deleted events to be displayed.
Is there a way to re-generate the internal alarms database?
(I did already upgrade to PR1.1, this didn’t fix it.)

I used BT sync with Windows 7 (64 bit), because I was not able to do USB sync (as N9 is not supported by any Nokia PC sync soft). After that I had a real mess: Each event was multiplied to occur multiple times during a day, thoughout each week, throughour each year, e.g. for example meeting scheduled for 10am on October 20, 2011, occurred a number of times on the same day, and each previous week until 2005 (when my calendar starts). An event that was scheduled back in 2005 occurred each week throughout 2011. The same thing happened to my Outlook. So you can imagine a mess that I got with my calendar after syncing with N9. Thanks that I had intact calendar on my Ipad and was able to restore my Outlook. I had to to manually correct calendar on N9 (because any further attempts to sync with Outlook) resulted in the same mess. When I say manually I mean that I deleted all entries (takes time) and re-entered only ones that I really needed (such as birthdays, other anniversaries and meetings from October 2011 forward). After that I did not risk syncing N9 with Outlook anymore in expectation of a decent sync software from Nokia (which I doubt will come, since even their latest soft Nokia Suite is not supporting N9 (although there some users were able to successfully sync with PC Suite, and some installed previous version of Ovi Suite, upgraded it to Nokia Suite and it works now for them -- but not for my very special N9). Having fianlly lost confidence in Noikia I decided to become a happy user of iPhone (with all or at least most soft needed being put in place by Apple or 3rd parties).

Multiple events triggered by one modification

Hello,
I'm trying to trigger multiple events with the modification of a single user field. In Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS, I've defined the same field twice and associated them with two different events. My lookup looks something like :
Code Key
Decode
USR_FIRST_NAME
Change First Name
USR_FIRST_NAME
Change Full Name
This works perfectly, but it seems that the duplicate Code Key randomly disappear after some time leaving me with a single entry for USR_FIRST_NAME. Is this normal? Is there another way to make a single field trigger 2 events?
Thanks,
--jtellier

You're doing it wrong. You should not have duplicate code keys. Here is what you can do though.
Code Key = USR_FIRST_NAME Decode = Change First Name
Now on your process definition, as long as the task starts with "Change First Name" you can add as many instances as you want. You can create the following tasks and they will all trigger:
Change First Name
Change First Name - Full Name
Change First Name - Display Name
Change First Name - Email Address
Just the first part matters.

I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal

I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal. Except I don't know where these are coming from or why. I've check iCal preferences and Help - can't find a way to stop this from happening automatically. Any Clues? Also, some of the events are already on my calendar and have been for quite some time.

Greetings,
What do you mean by "events to update"? Do you mean invites to new events or changes to existing invites?
Troubleshooting:
1. Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.7, 10.6.8 is the current version Apple > Software update.
2. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

Invite attendees to multiple events?

Is there any way in iCal to invite people to multiple events through one invitation. I am in the process of setting up iCal for work where we want to send invites to staff for their shifts, the main reason being that by doing this if we change a shift they will get a notification of the change. Our concern however is that if we add people to individual events they will end up with hundreds of emails/notifications in one go. Is there anyway to invite them to multiple events with just one invite?

How do I select multiple events in iCal 8.0?

In OSX Mavericks, I used to be able to select multiple events in iCal in the event list view. I could select the initial event in the span of events to be selected. Then hold Shift while selecting the final even in the span of events. As a result, all of the events in that span would be selected.
in OSX Yosemite, this is no longer possible. There appears to be no list view, and holding the Shift button does not allow me to select a span of events.
What is the best way to select a span of events, say as much as 30 events?
Thank you.

How do i add EQ to multiple music tracks

in an effort to make my touch's battery life last longer i read the tips and 1 was to turn off eq on the touch and add eq to the tracks from itunes but i can only do 1 at a time which is very slow. how do i add eq to multiple tracks??
im talking like 700 music tracks 1 by 1 isnt an option

You should be able to select the top track in a list and then hold down the shift key and click on the bottome of the list. Or you could use select all from the edit menu to select all the tracks in a play list/library.

How do I copy multiple events from a single calendar to another calendar?

I have multiple events from my "Family" calendar that I want to move. I would like to create a new calendar and move only specific events from my "Family" calendar to this new calendar. I have tried to select each event, then export, but this doesn't seem to work. It seems to export all events in the "Family" calendar, not just the ones that have been selected. Is there any way to do this aside from exporting each event one at a time and reimporting to a new calendar?

Drag them there. The volume they’re put onto needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended.
