Automator Ical new events - Alarms type are wrong

I've set an automator flow to create an event.
Even with the "message only" alarm type (not" message with sound"), Ical created an event with a message with sound alarm.
I've tried to uncheck the default alarm box in Ical and tried again, impossible to make it.
Any idea ? thanks. It's really anoying, as when I sync with outlook at my office (through mobileme), if an alarm was set as message + sound in Ical, it results in no alarm at all in outlook 2007...

I'm not sure if this is exactly the same, but DZ-Jay and I seem to have the same problem. I too have a number of email addresses on my Home Card in Address Book.
When setting an iCal email alarm, it always selected the wrong address from that list and I had, every time, to change it through the pulldown list.
Reading the above made me think (a rare event as my nearest and dearest will be quick to testify) and I realised that the address it selected was the one at the top of the list on My card in Address Book.
Address Book also lists Work before Home email designated addresses which, DZ, is why it always sends to your "Work" email. Whilst in effect it does, it actually sends to the top address in the list which for you is a Work address.
I changed the order so that the address I always wanted to use for iCal alarms was top of the list (I had to designate it as a Home address - fortunately it was then by chance alphabetically superior as well), closed Address Book - and lo and behold the "correct" address then appeared in my alarm setting.
No reboot required, so in my case it looks as if iCal took the first address on My Card at the time an event or To Do item was added.
That's enough brain work for a while - I'm off to a darkened room to have a lie down!

  • Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

    Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem with Final Cut Pro X: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

    Here`s the screenshot.
    But anyway:
    The drive is Makintosh HD from my Macbook and it is shown in the event mediathek and in the projects. Since I`ve recognized this problem I installed FCPX again and consequently the event and project directory created by FCPX is where it should be and it shows all the test events including it`s files.
    So what happens? Opening FCPX you see only one event and that a new empty event. All previous events are not shown there even if you can see them in the finder. So if you import again the clips they are in this new event library. After closing correctly FCPX and reopening there again is nothing than an new and empty event. What it does is that it recognized that i.e. there are events with previous numbers and so it creates an new one with the next available counting number.
    If you want to open one event from the finder it by clicking to the file it opens FCPX but it says it cannot open the clicked file.

  • ICal new events are invisible

    iCal Version 5.0.3 (1605.4) on MacOS 10.7.5
    When I double click on iCal on iMac i don't see the new event but I can see it on other Apple devices.
    WHY??????

    I am seeing a similar issue.
    iCal in Lion (10.7.1) definitely fails to show many events that I have added to my MobileMe calendars, from an iPhone and iPad, as well as from the Mac itself.
    I have entered new events directly into iCal, and watched them disappear before my eyes.
    These events do show up in the MobileMe web interface, as well as on an iPhone and iPad. But, very often, not in the Lion version of iCal.

  • Anyone noticed that with new upgrade, alarm settings are useless?

    Before the 07 upgrade, I had several different alarm settings.  For work, I have one that goes off at 6 am M-F.  I turn it to ON Sunday night, and then OFF Friday night.  Monday through Friday mornings, all I had to do was  Stop the alarm for the day,  and the alarm itself would still be set to go off Tuesday through Friday mornings. 
    Now, with the new upgrade, the alarm settings are useless.  When my alarm goes off in the a.m.  I have to now actually go to that alarm page and slide the settings for the week to OFF.  That means that I now have to physically turn the alarm ON and OFF every day.  Not a tragedy, but this is not an intended "feature" of the new 07, I am sure.   I have reduced different alarms down to 2; Weekend 8 am; and Weekdays 6 am;  and have to retrain my brain that I now have to remember to turn my alarm on every night before I go to bed. 

    Did you try tapping on the refresh button at the bottom of the contacts app - on the main page on the left side - the page that shows the list of all of your groups?... like Exchange, iCloud, whatever contacts sources that you have in the contacts app.
    I use Exchange for my contacts and that is what I chose in the Settings>Mail>Contacts>Default Account>Exchange and I chose Exchange contacts in the mail settings as well.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure and no new events / alarms since update to 2.2.1

    Hello,
    I have upgraded our Cisco Prime Infrastructure from version 2.1 to 2.2.1 (with a backup and restore). We have round about 700 APs and three 5208 Controller. So far everything seems to work really fine. The only problem is that there are no new alarms/events under "Monitor", "Alarms and Events".
    The last entries (events and alarms) are dated before the upgrade. Other informations (like client counts for example) are correct.
    Is there a known bug related to my problem? Can anybody help?
    Thanks

    I have done some research:
    I see the following problems in the log-package (downloaded from Prime):

    I think that there is a problem with a too small tablespace. But I can´t fix that. Anybody? ;)

  • Can I change the Lion iCal Monthly View "New Event" from All Day?" Default?

    I have tried all the posted suggestions to change the iCal "new event" preferably in Monthly View from the default of "All Day" but to no avail. This is a current issue so old terminal changes do not seem to work. Anyone have the same issue?

    I also have an issue  with not being able to change  "end times". Four instance if I schedule an event at 9:00 AM iCal defaults to 10:00 AM. I'll click the end time to change it to 4:00 PM  and the time will not change. It defaults back to the same start time or one hour later. I can get the drop down list to appear, but the options are not enough to schedule anything over 3 hours.
    Nor can  change the "add day" default.
    I appreciate any advice/assistance you guys have.
    Thanks!

  • Transfer new events from iPod?

    I have iCal at home and work. I don't want a .mac account and it seems like I should be able to sync my calenders with my iPod, i just can't figure out how to do it.
    When I open the Calendars folder on my iPod in Finder and open one of the iSync calendar files there, it switches to iCal and the message "This calendar contains new events. Please select a destination calendar." But there aren't any new events and when I select a destination calendar, it duplicates the events already listed (because they are already on iCal and on my iPod).
    It seems like there should be a way to import only new events so they are not duplicated over and over. Any one know of one?

    The calendars that you see in the folder marked "Calendar" on your iPod all have names that start with ISync. They are files of your individual calendars, and you will only see them on your iPod. You won't see these files in your computer. You'll see them in your Finder window because it shows you what is in your iPod's hard drive, if you've checked "enable disk use" in your iPod's preferences in iTunes. Think of them as copies of what you have done so far in each of your individual calendars. I still think of calendar as meaning everything on my calendar, but iCal sees calendar as meaning each subject or category of the whole database. The database is everything, all of the categories you have in iCal. The ISync file for a specific calendar/category is everything you have in each individual category up to the point that you sync your iPod with your computer.
    If someone wanted to copy just their "Work" calendar/category to a computer at work, they could import the ISync-Work.ics file from their iPod's "Calendars" folder to their computer at the office. That sounds like what you have described. It wouldn't add or update just one event, though, as you've discovered. It will import everything that's in that category. This is good if you don't want your personal calendars from your home computer or your iPod copied to your work computer. However, if someone did need all of their calendars, everything in their other computer's iCal from home copied to the work computer, then using iCal to make a back up is the better choice. I make a back up of my iCal to my computer regularly just in case I need it for any reason. If I want to have everything the same on my work computer, I can use my iPod's hard drive like a flash drive or portable drive. I can then go to iCal on the other computer, and choose "Revert to Database Backup". Technically, that means to go back to a previously saved version of everything you had in iCal. You could revert to iCal as you had it last year, last month, or yesterday. But you can also "revert" to the backup you made this morning or five minutes ago. It's puts in everything that was backed up to that point. Even if I am only updating one event, this takes very little time to do it this way. At this time, I don't know that there are any other options, other than the way you've been doing it and the way I've described. It's important to note, also, that If you've deleted events from one computer, the other computer is going to be exactly the same as the first, if you go this route.
    It also sounds like it is time for iCal to get some kind of update to better meet people's current needs. We'll just have to wait for Apple or someone else to create an update or write a program that gives iCal more flexibility!

  • New created condition types from CRM to R3

    I have do initial download with DNL_CUST_CNDALL. The condition customizing(pricing procedure, condition type, condition table...) have been downloaded from R3 to CRM.
    In transaction R3AC4(Delta download) two entries for CONDCUSTOMIZING and CONDITIONS exist for delta download of condition customizing and record from R3 to CRM.
    But when I created a newe condition type in R3, it is not automatically transfered to CRM. I also tried use transaction R3AR4 (request) to synchronize object DNL_CUST_CNDALL. But the new created condition type is still not availabe in CRM.
    Could anyone give some help?

  • New events in iCal are automatically created with an Email alert

    How do I change the default alert method?

    Thanks Barney. To answer your first idea, these aren't alerts of the "alert me 15 minutes before the start of the event" type. Subscribers can switch those off by selecting "Ignore Alerts" in the calendar's Info pane:
    My problem is that email alerts are being raised after any and all activity in my calendar:
    If I create an event, subscribers receive an immediate email (like the one below)
    If I change the title of an event (i.e. 100% of the time), subscribers receive another an immediate email. This clearly wrong behaviour makes me wonder if we've encountered a bug.
    If I edit an event, subscribers receive an immediate email.
    If I delete an event, subscribers receive an immediate email.
    Secondly, these messages are apparently coming from iCloud. Here's what the subscriber sees when I create an event (I created this without editing the title, hence "New Event"):
    I deleted my calendar from my wife's iCal calendar list and added it again. No change. I created a new calendar, and subscribed her to it, no change. Oh, and I am subscribed to her calendar, but I receive no email alerts (which is what we want).
    She has an iPhone but I can't find any setting there that demands an email update for all calendar activity.
    Finally, I'd add that it hasn't always been like this. These alerts only appeared recently.

  • When I create a new event, 3 alarms are automatically set. How can I set the default to zero alarms?

    What I said above - when I set up a new event three default alarms are set, all for 10 minutes prior to the event. How can I make the default alarm free?
    Thanks!
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    Do you have a default alarm set in iCal's Preferences > General Tab?
    Are you syncing via iCloud (if so look here)?
    Are you syncing to Google Calendar (if so look here)?
    Are you syncing elsewhere?
    Best wishes

  • When logging into iCloud in Safari, Calendar doesn't display any events. They are displayed on the iPad, iPhone on even the iCal. What is wrong ?

    When logging into iCloud in Safari, Calendar doesn't display any events. They are displayed on the iPad, iPhone on even the iCal. What is wrong ?

    :S,
    Sorry, missed that fact. My memory is good, but short.
    Try moving the "Calendar Cache" file to your Desktop. Quit iCal, and find the "Calendar Cache" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars. Move that file to your Desktop. After that, (I remember that I recommended this before), as long as you are moving files to the Desktop, repeat the plist removal procedure once again, log out/in or restart.
    You should also consider removing the "To Do's" from Mail before restarting iCal. When you open iCal turn off "Show Birthdays calendar" in iCal>Preferences...>General.
    Are you syncing any data? If so, what method(s) are you using?
    ;~)

  • How do you set/change the default alarm TYPE in iCal?

    I like to think I'm a power user, but this one I just can't figure out.  The question/problem is: How do you sent the default alarm TYPE in iCal?  The problem is illustrated in the picture below in the blue circled area.
    Specifically, whenever I set a new event in iCal, it defaults to this window with the default alert being "Default (1 hour before)."  The one hour before is fine, but the problem is, WHAT is the default?  It seems to be just a sound, but that's not good enough to actually alert me of anything.
    The goal I'm trying to achieve with this post is to determine how to CHANGE the "default" new event alert FROM "Default (1 hour before)" TO one of two alerts that I actually find useful:  I want MY "default" new event alert to be either "email" to the primary address, OR, "Message with Sound". 
    Any ideas, folks?  Thanks.

    Understand.  I am in the edit mode for my contact.  I see all the contact info.  There is no right click or other means to change the DEFAULT address that autofill uses (it also is first to appear if I type my name in an e-mail). For instance for a group e-mail you can change the default addresses of each contact by control-clicking on the group in Address Book. I can't seem to make the default change in my v-card.

  • How do I set the default event alarm to email in iCal 3.0?

    Anyone know? The default event alarm (an alert with a noise) in iCal 3.0 doesn't do me the slightest bit of good if I'm not sitting at my computer, which I'm often not.
    I'd like all new events to have a default alarm of "Email" so I get email reminders without having to edit every single new event I create. Frankly I'm amazed this isn't a simple Preference option

    Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. I have scoured the internet looking for exactly the same answer! I've asked everyone at my office (all mac users) and no one knows (but I got several "Yeah, that's annoying - let me know when you figure it out). I, too, can't believe it's not a simple preference in iCal. Someone PLEASE answer this incredibly basic question because there are obviously more than a few of us hung up on this. Thanks!

  • I cant create new events in iCal on my Mac or display them

    Since a few days ago after upgrading to Lion when I want to create a new event it
    dosent show up in my calender. All the old events is shown and when I create an
    event for example on my iPhone and sync with iCal on my Mac I can see the
    new event.
    I click in the calender to make a new event, nothing shows up, but when syncing
    with my iPhone I can see the new event without any text because I didnt see the
    small eventbar to type in or make the right time for the event. Can anybody help
    me with this issue?
    Regards,
    Collins from Sweden!

    Called Apple fast track support and problem is resolved. User error, for some reason I had selected the wrong calendar - after selecting the proper calendar on the left sidebar I could create events. Apparently at some time I created a 'todo' mailbox. It had nothing in it and I ended up deleting it so it doesn't get selected again in error.
    Took 15 minutes to connect with an ICAL specialist. Once connected received excellent support.
