Calendar: Why not allow freedom to set alerts on any date/time?

Hypothetically speaking...
A man's wedding anniversary is every July 29th, however his memory has failed to prepare himself for the date appropriately for the last few years.
He recently added this date to his Iphone Calendar app, however it only allows him to alert the event the maximum of 2 days before. Why not allow the freedom to set alerts weeks in advance? Or perhaps allow alerts to be provided at any date/time you feel necessary?
I feel this scenario, and many varieties of others would benefit to the availability of this feature within the Calendar app.
I also have one additional recommendation for the app. If an event is considered an ALL DAY event and an alert is set as a reminder, this alert will go off at midnight since it 'technically' is the beginning of the day. Quite annoying in my opinion. Lets also have the availability to set the alert notification time for ALL DAY events.
I look forward to Apple recognizing these innovative ideas and providing these additions to their next upgrade! THANKS!

I agree completely that this sort of freedom is needed.

Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event

Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event - it is set to grey !
Anyone else had this and found why ?
new PHOTO app replacing iPhoto bugs/ Problems OTHER PROBLEMS :
- no longer has a five star rating system
- my keywords for selecting albums are gone.
- cannot copy location of one photo to another
- cannot have an album with keywords AND rating > a value
- cannot set key photo of album/event
- multi parameter search feature gone
Anyone got any ideas how to get around this terrible downgrade of the software ?
BTW I have just discovered that iPhoto and its' libraries are still there, so I can go back but be left behind and frozen in time on this version if I do.
Photos now take up 700Gb whereas it was 350Gb #@!$#@!@#!@#
Thanks

That are all good points - but Photos is a completely new application. and it is only version 1.
Continue to use iPhoto, girraween; the next update to Photos will probably add a few more features.
iPhoto 9.6.1 is working very well with MacOS X 10.10.3.
The migration let iPhoto installed and also your iPhoto Library will still work with iPhoto.
If you did not uninstall iPhoto, it will still be there in your Applications folder. And if you had updated to the latest version iPhoto 9.6.1 before you upgraded to MacOS X 10.10.3, you can simply drag iPhoto back to the Dock from your Applications folder and continue to use it. Double click iPhoto and confirm, that you want to open iPhoto and not Photos. It is not compulsory to use Photos, while it it still the first release. When you launch iPhoto, you will see a warning, that the iPhoto Library has been migrated to Photos, but simply click the "Open iPhoto" button.The library will still work with iPhoto. ()see: If Photos won't open a library that you already migrated - Apple Support
If your iPhoto version is not iPhoto 9.6.1, you need to update it.
See this User Tip:
Usually it will work to reinstall instead of updating:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
Meanwhile you may want to send a feature request to Apple using the feedback form. Apple - Photos - Feedback
I hope, Apple will listen and add more features to Photos to make it usable for large Photo Libraries.

The operation is not allowed for result set type FORWARD_ONLY

Hi,
I am trying to use scroll insensitive resultset in following manner-
Statement stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("some sql here");
rs.last();
but the rs.last() throws this exception-
com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.SQLExceptionSapDB: The operation is not allowed for result set type FORWARD_ONLY.
     at com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.ResultSetSapDB.assertNotForwardOnly(ResultSetSapDB.java:2725)
     at com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.ResultSetSapDB.last(ResultSetSapDB.java:557)
Database version: Kernel    7.5.0    Build 019-121-082-363
Driver Version: MaxDB JDBC Driver, MySQL MaxDB, 7.6.0    Build 030-000-005-567
This used to work with 7.5 version driver. Why this is failing with 7.6 driver, any clues?
Thanks,
Vinod

Hi Vinod,
due to performance improvement when using forward only cursor we changed the default for the resultset type from TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE to TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY starting with JDBC driver version 7.6. So I guess the exception comes from a statement where you didn't set the resultset type while creating it. Please check if all of the statements that you want to be scrollable have set the correct resultset type.
Regards,
Marco

The beta page and Test Pilot page come up EVERY time I use Firefox. Same information so why not allow us to bypass it after the 1st or 2nd or 3rd reading?

That is not normal behaviour, for possible causes see [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]].

With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?

With Lion 10.7.1. you where able to drag events from "All Day Events" into the "Reminders" bar to create upcoming reminders.

Exactly the same question I was about to post!
Great being able to sync reminders (well overdue) however if I have to re-type a calener envent into reminders it's a waste of time!!
Come on Apple!!
Just need an option for the calender event to add to reminder or the old drag to add to reminder functionality back, Please???

Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

Photoshop will not allow me to save to web any more?

photoshop will not allow me to save to web any more?

I uninstalled Photoshop CC along with the preferences.
I restarted, and logged back into Creative Cloud
where i reinstalled Photoshop CC.
Began immediately working in the program
and of course testing the save for web feature along with the other save options.
Seems that all is well. I hope this works for you as it did me.

Does this involve iPhoto in some way? If so, try using the Force Quit command. It's under the Apple Menu.

My iPhone 5 does not allow me to send or recieve any texts from anyone not using iMessage - I've already checked my settings and everything is where it should be. Any other possible ideas?

Contact your carrier to make sure there's nothing wrong with your account.
Also, it may be worth going into Settings>General>Reset and choosing Reset Network Settings. You'll lose saved wifi passwords but you won't see any other changes. That may resolve the issue.

I downloaded iOS 6.1.1 to my iPhone 4 and now my calendar does not allow me to move away from a daily view. Does anyone have a solution please?

Is anyone having problems with their iPhone calendar after downloading iOS 6.1.1? Mine will not allow me to use the normal functions and only displays a day view. I can only change the day by scrolling chronologically. Any assistance appreciated. Bjwiebe.

Have you tried a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts...ignore the red slider if it appears.

ITunesStoreAustralia:why not allowed buy/rent HD content without Apple TV?

Anyone know why in Australia, we are not allowed to purchase HD content without an Apple TV? I don't need an Apple TV with my laptop, and forthcoming Mac Mini, so why should I be forced to buy one just to get HD content from the store...

Such restrictions usually are due to the copyright holders demand
