Any advice about Google calendar?

I have been using iCal as my only calendar app on my iMac, ipad mini and iphone.
Now my company is changing everything over to google for mail, calendars, contacts and other apps.
The one thing I am concerned about is syncing with Google calendars and it screwing up my calendars.
I sync with iCloud now.
Any major problems with using Google calendars with iCal?

CS6 does not support Open CL on PC so you will not have any GPU acceleration with the Intel graphics on that laptop.

  • Any advice about my car loan?

    I asked this in the auo loan thread but no one is answering me there. We had a repo in 2013.  We bought a car in Oct 14 and got a terrible deal.  Our interest rate is 10.25%.  We have a 72 month loan and our monthly payment is $386.  Right now we owe $19,000 on the loan and Kelly Blue book says its worth about $15,000. I don't think our credit has improved much since we bought the car.  Maybe a few points.  We haven't started trying to address our score until very recently. What's the best way to handle this?  With our budget, after bills and groceries - we could probably pay around $300 a month on top of our regular payment most months. Should we do that for a year and then try to refinance?  Is there any other option I'm not thinking of?  I know Dave Ramsey types would say dump it and get a beater but we don't have any cash lying around for a car so we're just going to get up with a terrible interest rate - and no down payment.  So I don't feel like there's enough of a "pay-off" for the sacrifice.

    It can get tough when you're dealing with negative equity. Different banks use different lending guidelines when it comes to determining how much they are willing to lend in the first place for any specific vehicle, and the amount they will lend you will also depend on your credit. So even if you applied to refinance right now, there's no guarantee that the bank/lender you applied with would be willing to lend the amount you need to refinance. Basically, some lenders don't want to risk giving you a $19K loan on a car that's only worth $15K or less. You know that, though.  I work in auto finance, so I always recommend to people in your situation to pay as MUCH as you possibly can to close the gap on what you owe vs. what you think the car is worth. Call around to several different banks and give them the VIN and the mileage and ask how much they might lend on it in order for you to figure out which lenders are more generous for what they're willing to finance for vehicles. 10% is definitely not horrible for a 72 month loan. I have people calling me to try to refinance 17%-25% on a regular basis. Also, make sure your overpayments go to principle if possible. I wouldn't recommend applying to refinance until you know the amount you owe is where it needs to be so you avoid unnecessary credit pulls and hurt your credit further. Another option would be to trade it in and use the same guidelines to find a bank willing to allow the negative equity to be rolled into the new purchase. But that doesn't solve anything except HOPEFULLY getting a lower APR if you buy a newer car or if your credit has improved since purchasing the last one. You're better off to try to just pay down the one you have if it's still running fine. Why take on more debt if the car works?  

  • Does anybody have any advice about updating your book description once the book is live?

    I made a careless spelling mistake while filling out the metadata for my children’s ebook. Obviously I quickly changed it and resubmitted my “package”. That was four days ago and the spelling mistake is still there in the book description for all the world to see. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to push this through? It really should only be a 30 second fix yet has turned into a complete nightmare. Please help. Thanks.

    The description is one of the metadata fields that you cannot update yourself. You need to contact Apple and ask them to make the change for you. Quote the title, Apple ID, and ISBN of the book, and added description of the exact change needed, or complete replacement text for the description.

  • My screen displays a shadow from left to right, being darker on the left and brighter on the right. Any advice about how to change this would be appreciated.

    My screen from the moment it starts any program appears to be shaded from left to right. The left hand side of the display appears to be darker than the right half of the screen. Can someone please advise what I can do to alter this. Have I pressed something I shouldn,t have? Or is there a problem with my display?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Does not sound too healthy! You should take it to the Genius bar in the Apple store. May need the hardware looked at...
    It's most probably a backlight issue. Take some piccys of it while it isnt working now!!

  • Any advice about running a 24" monitor with Macbook Pro?

    In a far city, 3,000 miles from my tower and Apple Cinema screens. I have to edit a film from a little MacBook Pro laptop (2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, max 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM).
    I borrowed a 24" Acer, plugged it in. Seems to look okay for editing. But panning and any movement is generating mild breakup, like a thin slash through the image. I'm wondering if there is some way I can set up the laptop to more efficiently drive the external monitor?
    So far all I've done is plugged it in, and set it up as the playback screen for Final Cut Pro.
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated...
    Ben

    According to the Apple spec sheet, your external monitor port should support up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on a MacBook Pro 2,2, which I think you have. You could try setting the external to smaller res numbers and see if that helps.
    My 22" LCD monitor has a maximum res of 1680x1050 and I suspect the native res on your 24" external is less than the 2560x1600 that the MBP is supposed to support.
    Are you in spanning mode or mirrored mode? Might try both and see if one works better.

  • Syncing google calendar with microsoft outlook

    Hi
    I just received this email from google regarding the use of google calendar sync software for microsoft outlook:
    Important Announcement about Google Calendar Sync
    Almost two years ago, we announced that we had ended support for Google Calendar Sync.
    Starting on
    1 August 2014, this app will no longer sync events between your Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
    You can continue to access all of your Google Calendar events at
    calendar.google.com or
    on your mobile devices. Follow
    these instructions to uninstall Google Calendar Sync from your computer.

    I need to be able to sync my google calendars to outlook as I use an android phone and use Outlook at my workplace. Does anyone know how to keep on syncing between these two devices?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Do you have an Gmail account configured in Outlook used for mail, contact and calendar managing?
    The announcement indicates the Google Calendar Sync can’t be used to sync your Outlook calendar (and contacts) with Gmail. If you don't use Gmail for email but need to sync Outlook Calendar with a smartphone, we can consider to user Outlook.com account to
    sync calendar. Here is an reference about sync calendar and contacts using Outlook.com:
    http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/olc-hotmail/sync-calendar-contacts-using-outlook-com/
    If you want to sync Google calendar to Outlook, we can also find any third-party tools to achieve it:

  • All of a sudden when I click on a Google calendar item I get a blank page and am unable to edit the item.

    This same problem was asked months ago ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/976863#answer-564132) and it has NOT been resolved! In revolves about Google Calendar.
    I'm having this problem since the 29.0 upgrade that FireFox just rolled out (I'm on Windows 8). Really honks me off, too!
    When I try to edit an event, the page never renders and is blank. It works in Chrome, but I hate Chrome and don't wish to give up FireFox, unless nobody bothers to address this problem!
    Steps I've taken (that didn't work):
    Turned off extensions and restarted browser
    Cleared cache and cookies, then restarted browser
    Changed FF connection settings per instructions
    PLEASE solve this problem instead of ignoring!

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

  • Advice about buying a new hard drive

    I have a TOSHIBA Satellite L25-S1216. I have not been able to boot into Windows XP for 3 years using the factory Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD and the Fully Recover procedure on the back of the DVD packae. I have been using Linux for the past 3 years. Ubuntu SMART test disk utility tells me I have 20 bad hard drive sectors. I have concluded I should buy a new hard drive, since mine has 20 bad sectors. My current hard drive is ATA-6, so I know I need a PATA compatible hard drive. I'd like to increase to maybe 60 GB from the current 40 GB. I'd also like to go with a solid state drive, but there don't appear to be many PATA compatible solid state drives.
    And I don't want to get too complicated or expensive; I want to stay with my current Windows XP. Not sure if a SATA PATA interface adapter would work to allow me to use a SATA solid state hard drive or not. I know (from reading knowledge base posts) there is also the potential problem of the older BIOSs not recognizing the newer Advanced Drive Format drives.
    QUESTION: Does anybody have any advice about buying a hard drive that would work for me? How can I be reasonably sure a hard drive I buy is compatible with my computer?
    Thank you,
    Bob
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    either get a pata drive (you can get larger than the stock 40gb) or use your $ towards a more current new/used laptop.  pata ssd would be a waste and I doubt adapter would work.  also, ms is dropping support for xp so it would be a good time to upgrade to something with a more current os as well.

  • Wireless hacker, any advice?

    Yesterday a strange SUV was parked in front of my neighbor's house, and the guy had a laptop up on the steering wheel. I finally got up the nerve to say hello and ask what he was doing, and he said, "I'm looking for a wireless internet connection." Then he added, "Hey, if they're not smart enough to put a password on it..." I asked him to go somewhere else. So... this has me reviewing our wireless security. We have an Airport Express base station v6.3 connecting an iBook running 10.3, a Win XP and a Canon printer. Currently with WPA password. I read through some posts and see that I should probably change a setting to WPA2, yes? What else in the Airport Admin Utility should I check or uncheck for security? In System Preferences>Sharing I made sure the Mac OS Firewall is on. Though we have Personal File Sharing, Windows File Sharing, and Printer Sharing checked. We do share files between the XP PC and iBook sometimes. Do I need Personal File Sharing checked? Should I leave the file sharing options unchecked until I need to share a file? Any other applications or utilities I should make sure I have configured on the Mac? And I know this is the Apple forum, but any advice on apps or utilities to configure on the PC?
    Whew. Thanks for any advice about how to make our home wireless network safe, Dianne
    oh also - does anyone know if this is technically against the law and if I should have called the police? we're in Austin.

    You are safe using WPA with a non-dictionary password.
    Sure WPA2 is better, but WPA is secure.
    Should I leave the file sharing options unchecked until I need to share a file?
    That would be the most secure.

  • Thinking of Upgrading to Lion and Aperture... any advice?

    I hear about slowness issues as well as all kinds of other issues now that i look at the boards... ive always just played around with iPhoto but am now thinking I might want to go a lil deeper....

    If you are running Lion first upgrade to 10.7.2.
    Please let us know how page outs test (see below) under normal workflow. Then retest in 32-bit mode and with a restart running only Aperture.
    First thing is to evaluate whether or not you have adequate RAM by looking at the Page Outs number under System Memory on the Activity Monitor app before starting a typical Aperture work session; recheck after working and if the page outs change (manual calculation of ending page outs number minus starting page outs number) is not zero your workflow is RAM-starved. Ignore the pie charts and other info in Activity Monitor.
    If your test showed that page outs increased significantly during operation you can
    • add RAM
    • and/or simply try to run Aperture by itself
    • and/or switch from 64-bit operation to 32-bit operation (which will make some additional RAM space available).

  • Have thunderbolt and need to sync ical with google calendar in order to use.  Any suggestions?

    Have a thunderbolt and MacBook.  Need to sync ical with google calendar as thunderbolt supports google calendar.  Any suggestions?

    I think we may be talking about two different things. Thunderbolt is the new two way display port on Mac Book Pros and Apple displays.
    Thunderbolt (originally codenamed Light Peak) is an interface for connecting peripheral devices to a computer via an expansion bus. Thunderbolt was developed by Intel and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple Inc. It was introduced commercially on Apple's updated MacBook Pro lineup on February 24, 2011.
    Thunderbolt combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into a serial data interface. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices; up to two of these devices may be high-resolution displays using DisplayPort. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800.

    Unfortunately many posts of people who claim to have no issues with their 3G iPhones sound pretty much the same.

    "If you think your iPhone is NOT working, then it's because you're an idiot who doesn't know squat about cell networks and 3G.
    Please note, this is not aimed at you, but a general observation.
    If their Iphone 3Gs work great then all of them have to work great and those of us who have a really bad iPhone 3G experience are just too dense to use them, are one the wrong network, clueless about 3G or generally just technologically challenged dimwits who don't understand neither the wonderful world of 3G nor how beautifully the iPhone 3G works, even when it doesn't.
    Again, I had more dropped and failed calls with the iPhone 3G in four hours than I had with My Nokia 6280 on the same 3G network in almost two years. The network is also very clearly not overloaded, since I never had another another dropped or failed call after yanking SIM card out of the IDoorStop 3G and putting it back into the Nokia.

    I have an ipad2 and my question is about the calendar. I set up multiple calendars with different colors. Some of the events show up in filled color. Others only show with a colored dot in front of the event. I can't figure out why some show up one way and others show up differently? Any thoughts?

    On mine the ones that show on a coloured background are all-day events, the ones with dots and just timed events.
