After deleting old default calendar, user can't create events

Hello
an User had two agendas. they asked to delete the old default agenda. and change the default to a new agenda. after this has been done, the user is not able to create new appointment in his agenda.
I changed the default agenda using csattributes. I sure forgot to set permissions somewhere.??
thank you.

yes it does but it has a very special format which i do not understand.
i found this out by using csattribute -v list username:
uid=grochtus,ou=rbgMember,ou=people,ou=mrbc-mbhg,dc=irisnet,dc=be has icsCalendarOwned: grochtus:geert_rochtus_dircoco$geert_rochtus_dircoco
what does the $ mean?
the name of the calendar is :
uid=grochtus,ou=rbgMember,ou=people,ou=mrbc-mbhg,dc=irisnet,dc=be has cn: Geert ROCHTUS
uid=grochtus,ou=rbgMember,ou=people,ou=mrbc-mbhg,dc=irisnet,dc=be has icsCalendar: grochtus:geert_rochtus_dircoco
another thing that came up is that this user is able to DELETE events but not able to create.

No. You will have to restore a backup.

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb from the App Store again? My problem is my 4Gb/month allowance on a 12 month contract. I cannot purchase a data block from my ISP and although my speed is theoretically slowed to 64k after reaching my 4Gb, it actually ceases to download in reality.

HI tasclix, it depends what you mean by an OS X boot drive.
If you want a recovery disk from which you can reinstall (by re-downloading) or recover from a time machine backup, then nbar is correct.
If, however, you want to boot and run the OS X installer from the USB drive (so that you don't need to download again), then you will need a copy of "Install OS X Mavericks.app"; see this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5856
Before downloading again, search your system to see if the installer is still there - it's usually in the /Applications folder unless it has been deleted, but check your whole system for it anyway, you never know, you might still have it somewhere.

Can't Create Event

I'm a system administrator at a school. Currently I'm in the process of testing iMovie 08, as we've purchased the 3 year maintenance plan.
When trying to import from a DV deck I'm given the error
Can't Create Event
The import was canceled. You may not have permission to write to /Volumes/Storage/iMovie Events.localized.
Indeed, I can't write to the root of /Volumes/Storage, the student test account I'm using doesn't have access. I do however have a "student work" folder that they can write to. Is there any way I can get iMovie to create iMovie Events.localized in this folder rather than on the root of the drive? If not and there isn't a workaround, I guess we'll be sticking to iMovie 6.
Furthermore, the file being created on the root level implies that it is not multi-user aware. Is this right? Can users see each other's libraries? If the answer to either of those is 'yes' than it's not suitable for this environment and we'll be using the older version.
If someone is aware of a "Deploying iMovie 08 in a Managed Setting" document or similar, I'd appreciate the tip!
thanks,

Thanks for the quick reply, Lori. Yes the account does have a Movies folder, however there is no iMovie Events folder in there. Just iMovie Projects.
As an update, I manually created the folder /Volumes/Storage/iMovie Events.localized but it still would not work until I gave everybody full access to it. Then it was fine, so at least the error message is accurate. Obviously I can't leave it open wide like that once school starts.
EDIT: Just to be clear about my setup -- and WHY it's set up how it is -- the Movies folder is in the default location relative to the user home folder. The user home is on an XServe. Hence why I'm capturing video to a secondary internal partition (/Volumes/Storage).

How can I view my photos in "Events" like in iPhoto? How can I create events? I have 55,000 photos and 1700 events so the only way I can possibly manage my photos is using events that are one slide in size.

I have 55,000 images organized into about 1700 events. The only reasonable way to view my library is using events in iPhoto where each event has one image That still leaves 1700 images to sort through but that is a lot easier than 55,000 images. In the side bar is a folder with "iPhoto Events" but those views still show all of the slides. How can I create events and view my photos as events as in iPhoto? Events are critical for large libraries and has been my primary way to sort images.
Thanks!

I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) . I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
Haha! I should have paid attention and read between the lines! My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do! I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy. I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events) ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

Can't create events

Hi,
I am using iMovie 2011, on a Macbook Air late-2012 with Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I can't create events or projects in iMovie. I am getting the following error message :
Can't create event.
The import was canceled. You may not have permission to write to /iMovie Events.localized.
It seems to think that the "iMovie Events" folder is in the System root. In fact, if I create a folder in the system root (bad practice), it works, but then I can't create projects. Creating a folder called "iMovie Projects" in the system root doesn't work because iMovie can't write to the folder. Now, I don't want either of those folders in the system root, I want them in ~/myusername/Movies, like they're supposed to be. I don't know why iMovie thinks they should be in the system root. Is there any way to reset this setting? I have tried deleting iMovie pref files, reinstalling iMovie, etc. but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Thanks,
C.

I would suggest calling Apple at the Contact Us link at the bottom right of this page. Your MBA should be still under warranty, so the call should not cost you anything (but verify).

Can't create events with times between 10:01 and 19:59

I've recently updated to OSX 10.4.9, and now can't create events with times that start with a '1'. This only seems to be a problem on the day British Summer Time begins on 25 March.
I usually create my events in the month view, and input the start and end times by clicking in the time boxes and typing in the hours and minutes. However when I try to put in a start time of, say, 11:00, it puts in 21:00 instead. The only way around this seems to be to put in a time it will accept, like 09:00, and using the arrow keys to move it to the time I want. Or creating the events in the day view and clicking on the start time there.
Any ideas?

Looks like you have found a wee bug. I can replicate it. You could report it though OS X Feedback or better though ADC, but for the latter you have to register first.
I usually create events by double-clicking in week view; often this gets the start time right, but if not then edit the start time in the info pane. Your bug is there with events created in day and week views too.

Gray screen after deleting old user accounts - with a twist...

I have two MacBook Pros w/retina displays. Purchased about 6 months apart, they are both running 10.8.4. The newer unit was recently bought from my employer (work unit) and connected to my wi-fi. I set up file sharing and deleted the work-related users accounts on both. When I rebooted, both went to gray screen, apple icon, and wheel spinning. Then icon only with no wheel.
Command-P-R to repair permissions and repair tasked 3-4 times - Same result after reboot.
Reinstalled OSX on work unit - SUCCESS and all my changes made before the gray screen were intact.
Reinstalled OSX on home unit - The install ran its course but after reboot, gray screen. Command P-R revealed that repair was available but repair permissions button is not grayed out. Repaired 2-3 times. Same result. Restalled OSX 3-4 times. Same result.
The files are intact...at least the space is showing utilized. My last option is to slave home unit to work unit and transfer all files then reinitiallize.
Help me Obi-Wan. You're my only hope.
Thx in advance! DC

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. The battery is distinct from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

HT201250 so what to do when its full and doesn't delete old backups? How can I manually get rid of 2010 backups?

My time machine is full and its SO VERY VERY VERY SLOW SLOW to do anything on it. I want to completelly kill backups from 2010 and 2011. How can I do this? I'd be ok killing all my backups and doing a fresh start.

Another thought: if you are prepared to delete all your backups (as you say), you could experiment by deleting a few early backups, then testing that Time Machine continues to allow restorations of some test file, and will continue to do automatic backups as usual. If so, delete as many old backups as you want. If TM does not continue to behave after the old backups have been deleted, erase the TM disc and start again.

No offer to save new password for google toolbar after deleting old one

After deleting my old gmail and toolbar password in the password manager. I haven't received an offer to save the new password when signing in on the toolbar.

Thanks again. The only e-mail addresses are associated with my domain - atlantichouse.org.uk. I've typed in "atlantichouse" and it returns no data, so I guess they've all been deleted.
I don't use a firewall; I have updated Thunderbird earlier today as part of my attempt to solve this problem (it began when both my wife and I were unable to access mail, using different laptops - which I suppose suggests that the problem may not be at our end - though surely it should still be asking me for a PW) but not for some time previously.

Systemd --user can't create cpu cgroup

Hi,
recently I've started using 'systemd --user' to manage my sessions. I've followed the wiki and created xorg.service and several others. Then I configured cgroup controllers in /etc/systemd/{system.conf,logind.conf,user.conf} as follows (only relevant changes are shown):
$ logind.conf
[Login]
Controllers=cpu memory blkio
ResetControllers=
$ system.conf
[Manager]
DefaultControllers=cpu memory blkio
#JoinControllers=cpu,cpuacct,cpuset net_cls,net_prio
$ user.conf
[Manager]
DefaultControllers=cpu memory blkio
When I start 'systemd --user', I get the following error (systemd starts fine, but cpu controller for user isn't created):
Failed to create cgroup cpu:/user/lahwaacz/8/systemd-11815/xorg.service: Permission denied
edit: the error shows up for every service started, not just for xorg.service
I guess this is why the default is 'ResetControllers=cpu', but haven't found anything specific to the error. Anyone has experiences with similar issues, or anything helpful?
Thanks

I found a fix online that removing the SIP information will fix the issue. It did but when I do that they have no control over their phone from Lync.
Hi,
would you please elaborate about the message above you provided? Did "SIP information" mean user profile?
If yes, it maybe the issue of address book sync. you can try to force Lync to immediately download the address book with the following way:
execute the following command from the Windows Command Prompt run as an administrator;
reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync /v GalDownloadInitialDelay /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

I've lost my iCal calendars and can't create new ones

I've used iCal flawlessly for a long time. Suddenly, though, I noticed that I lost all my indivdual calendars in iCal. I couldn't see any calendar postings in the main calendar until I trashed my pref file from the library and relaunched. Then I would see the individual events created under my "home" calendar, yet I would not see the "home" calendar listed as an option in the left-hand view of calendars. Plus, I now can't create new calendars.
Anybody have any idea what's going on here?

Is this correct: you had multiple calendars; they disappeared from the calendar pane and their events from the main pane; you deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ical.plist; you now have a single calendar (Home) but cannot make more; you can see the events in Home?
Can you add events to Home?
Can you see as many folders in ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/ as you used to have calendars?
Double-click ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/nodes.plist. Click the black triangle beside the word Root. In the line "List Array ..." how many ordered objects are reported? Does this match your original calendar count?
What have you added/changed/modified recently? Might it have involved any fonts?

User can't create, edit, or remove groups and fix I found causes more issues.

Hello!
I have a user that can't create, edit, or remove groups within Lync client 2013. I found a fix online that removing the SIP information will fix the issue. It did but when I do that they have no control over their phone from Lync. So I
added the SIP information back and then the original issue comes back. Is there a way I can have both? We are using the 2013 client but are running Lync 2010 on the server.
Thanks!
