Adding sounds to iCal

Is there any way I can add new sounds to iCal alarms? The standard ones are very noninvasive ... which is nice for elevator music, but I need to be REMINDED when important appointments are looming. I have downloaded some better sounds for my purpose, but they don't show up in the iCal alarm sound list. How can I use them?
iCal version 2.0.5 (1069)
thanks!

Switching to different alarm sounds in ical for notifications

Dear Reader,
Can someone help me with this! I use iCal in iPhone for al sorts of things, and like to have a choice in selecting a alarm-sound for different occasions
( wake-up, lunch, birthday, appointments, etc. )
Adding different sounds to different notifications will make it easier ( and more fun ) for the ear to distinguish the priority.
Greetings Charlie
PS. I found this on the net but that does not fix my ( iPhone - iCal ) problem!
Change or silence the default alarm sound for iCal events

Have you tried importing them into the EXS 24 ? Assuming the process is the same if you're on Logic X, its just a matter of putting the soundfont files into the ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments folder and the EXS converts them when you try to load them - its explained properly in the Software Instruments manual (EXS24 section), but its very quick and easy. It might provide a decent alternative.

I haven't added events but am getting "This calendar is unreadable. No events have been added to your iCal calendar"

I recently started getting the message "This calendar is unreadable. No events have been added to your iCal calendar". However, I typically add my events by typing them myself either on my MacBook Pro or my iPhone. I don't import from outside sources. I don't know if it's related or just coincidental that around the same time, events that I add to my MacBook Pro are not syncing to my iPhone, but the events added by iPhone seem to appear on my MacBook Pro and my MiniMac. Is there a way to find the event that is being referenced in this error message??

iPhone:
Plug in your iPhone
Go to iTunes > Your iPhone > Info and ensure that calendars is not checked off to sync -- if you are using MobileMe to sync, this option should not be checked
On both Macs:
1.) Go to Apple > System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync and remove the check Mark for calendars. With the new MobileMe calendar system there is no need to have this checked. Close the MobileMe window once this is complete.
2.) Open iCal and then go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts and remove the MobileMe account from here with the minus sign.
3.) Go to iCal > Quit iCal
4.) 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.)
5.) Open iCal and go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts
-- If the MobileMe Account is already here remove it again and then re-add it being very careful to use the correct name and password (for your 10.5 system follow these steps for re-adding: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330)
-- If the MobileMe account is not already here, add it in.
iCal will download your calendars from the MobileMe server. Watch and see if you get the error message. If it completes the download (little spinning gear stops spinning next to the MobileMe calendar) go ahead and add a new uniquely named event to one of your MobileMe calendars on both computers and see if it syncs between.
Let us know what happens.

"iCal can't read this calendar file. No events have been added to your iCal calendar."

How do I deal with this error message-"iCal can’t read this calendar file. No events have been added to your iCal calendar." ? .ics vs .vcs?
Thanks

Greetings,
What version of the Mac OS and what version of iCal are you running?
Are you using MobileMe calendars (or any other server based calendars like Google) in your iCal?
While you answer those questions you can try the following troubleshooting:
1. 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.
2. 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.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

Added calendar in iCal not synced to MobileMe

I moved a calendar from "On My Mac" to my MobileMe account group, using the export-import method. The new calendar, however, does not sync to MobileMe. I even tried an overwrite (bookmarks, calendars, contacts and keychains) from my Mac to MobileMe but the added calendar still did not appear in MobileMe.
I quit and relaunched iCal, which started an immediate sync. The new calendar promptly disappeared from iCal and I got a string of error messages (one for each entry in the new calendar, it seems) all ending with
The server responded with
“HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict”
and asking me to either "Go Offline" or "Revert to Server". It didn't seem to matter which one I selected – the error just kept cropping up. Eventually, I gave up and force quit iCal.
How can I add a new calendar to iCal that will sync with MobileMe?

Derek,
I presume that this procedure represents exactly what you have tried to accomplish?
Import an iCal calendar or event
If you use iCal and want to add your iCal calendars and events to a MobileMe calendar, you can import them.
Hide
To import an iCal calendar:
Open iCal, and then select the iCal calendar you want to import into your MobileMe calendar.
Choose File > Export > Export.
Type a calendar name, choose a location from the Where pop-up menu, and click OK.You can store the exported file anywhere, and you can delete it after you finish importing it.
Choose File > New Calendar, and then choose a MobileMe calendar (by default, your MobileMe email address).
Type a calendar name (you can use the same name as the calendar you just exported), and press Return.
Choose File > Import > Import, select your exported iCal calendar, and then click Import.
Select the destination MobileMe calendar to which you want to add the imported iCal calendar, and then click OK.
Quit iCal and go to the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and delete any/all files with "Cache" as a part of the name. Log out/in or restart and reattempt using the exact procedure which I copied from the MobileMe Help page.

Added sound card, no onboard audio no more

i added an sb live value for the use of the joystick port only, not wanting to use ti as a sound card. the onboard audio of my 865pe neo2 fis2r msi 6728 no longer works. so how can i get back my onboard audio? my speakers are still plugged into the onboard. is this even posible? to use onboard audio, but use my joystick on the sb live card when playing games? or is it only one or the other? do i need to go into the bios maybe and tell it to use onboard audio? like maybe it changed cus of the new sb live value card?
ok, i hooked up my speakers to the sb live card, it's fine i guess , but is it possible to use onboard audio with joystick port only from the live card? or because i have a sound card installed now, does that totally disable onboard completely unless i removed the live card?

Yep No is the Answer, Because as soon as Windows Sees that you have a PCI sound card, it will not allow the Onboard sound chips Drivers to Load upon Bootup, I cant believe that you went through the Trouble of Installing a Sound Card that has a "MIDI" port, Instead of just Getting a USB Joystick , as the New USB Joysticks are Much more Responsive and Support Many More Games, and You can Get one For Less $ then you Paid for the Soundblaster .....Sean REILLY875

Adding invitees to iCal event takes forever...

Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, adding an invitee to a calendar event takes 30-40 seconds. I start typing a name, get the spinning beachball, and thirty seconds later get a list of matching contacts from Address Book.
Thirty or forty seconds is the actual time, not a guesstimate. And while this doesn't seem very long, I can't do anything else while I'm waiting. (If I switch applications, it stops looking where it left off.)
All of my software is up to date. I recently wiped the hard drive and did a clean install (I've tried everything I can think of to decrease this time) and I have about 5,000 contacts in Address Book.
The next option is to delete all of my contacts, but that seems unworkable (for obvious reasons.)
Anyone else experiencing anything like this?
/Jim

I'm having the same problem. From the number of unresolved problems with iCal under Snow Leopard I suspect that the application is in need of some serious refactoring. Clearly, the problem with inserting invitees is a problem with an index on the contacts application or the type of query that is being issued. I suspect the later since the mail application does not have the same problem.
Has anyone at Apple with access to source code looked into this? Is there a more formal way of submitting a problem report?

Adding sounds to alerts

I was wondering if there was a way of adding more sounds to the system alert sounds like frog, basso, glass etc? Thanks

Put an aiff audio file into ~/Library/Sounds and it should show up in the Sound Effects preference pane to be chosen as an alert sound.

Adding sound to buttons causes then not to work.

I have a flash project with 3 buttons in each frame 1 button is the correct answer and two are not
here is the code
import flash.events.Event;
btnA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkCorrectness);
btnB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkCorrectness);
btnC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkCorrectness);
function checkCorrectness(e: Event): void {
if (e.target == btnA) {
if (correctA) {
totalscore++;
} else if (e.target == btnB) {
if (correctB) {
totalscore++;
} else if (e.target == btnC) {
if (correctC) {
totalscore++;
score.text = totalscore;
if (totalscore == 18) {
gotoAndStop(21);
return;
nextFrame();
stop();
var totalscore = 0;
var correctA:Boolean = false;
var correctB:Boolean = false;
var correctC:Boolean = false;
score.text=totalscore;
each frame has this code below with the correct answer changing from frame to frame
correctA = true;
correctB = false;
correctC = false;
all works fine but now I have to use sound in the buttons so I duplicated a button and changed the name of one button to "true" and the original I changed to "false".
I added in each of the two new button names a sound effect ( sound 1 for button true and sound 2 for button false)
So the frame list looks like this
frame 1
correctA = true;
correctB = false;
correctC = false;
button name 1 true instance name btnA
button name 2 false instance name btnB
button name 3 false instance name btnC
frame 2
correctA = false;
correctB = true;
correctC = false;
button name 1 false instance name btnA
button name 2 true instance name btnB
button name 3 false instance name btnC
according to this each correct button would trigger sound1 telly the score and move to the next frame
and each incorrect button would also tally the score and move to the next frame.
Not all selections are making the frame move nor the score tally.
any help.
ALL OF THIS WORK FINE WITHOUT THE SOUND AND THE BUTON NAMES CHANGED. SO THE RESULT IS I ONLY HAVE A WORKING FILE BUT WITHOUT THE SOUNDS FOR EACH BUTTON.
R

Great works like a charm, one thing though. Every time I click the Incorrect button button I hear that audio twice . I checked the actual mp3 and it just one sound.
Heres the code you gave me
var correctSound:CorrectSound=new CorrectSound(); // assign this class
var incorrectSound:IncorrectSound=new IncorrectSound(); " "
function checkCorrectness(e: Event): void {
if (e.target == btnA) {
if (correctA) {
totalscore++;
soundF(true);
}else{
soundF(false);
} else if (e.target == btnB) {
if (correctB) {
totalscore++;
soundF(true);
}else{
soundF(false);
} else if (e.target == btnC) {
if (correctC) {
totalscore++;
soundF(true);
}else{
soundF(false);
score.text = totalscore;
if (totalscore == 18) {
gotoAndStop(21);
return;
nextFrame();
function soundF(b:Boolean):void{
if(b){
correctSound.play();
} else {
incorrectSound.play();

Adding Sound to Movie Clips

I am relatively new to Flash and I have taken over a Flash
project that was made out of Movie Clips (.swfs). This was done by
creating the presentation out of 5 separate documents (saved as
.swfs) with a behavior action added to the last frame of each file
telling the movie to load the next external movieclip.
Now that the project is finished, I am not sure if there is
any way to add sound to the file since it is made out of separate
movieclips rather than one long flash document. Everytime the new
movieclip loads, the music will either start over at the beginning
for that document, or stop playing all together. Is there any way
to make the music play continously through all five movies?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

Place the music in main level while loading the other content
in level 1.
Levels run independently and while the other movie keep
loading one after
another, it won't interrupt the sound in main level.

Why the event not added automatic into ical when receive a meeting from outlook?

Hi,
I'm using ical 4.0.4 and when I receive a meeting from outlook, there is no event added into ical. However, in my ios device, it works pretty well.
Could anyone help me? Whether this is the issue of the ical(version 4.0.4)?
Thank you.
p.s.It works well in ical versions which are higher than 4.0.4.
