Can I create a calendar in French rather than in my default English?

I want to create a 2009 calendar to send to a French-speaking friend. It would be nice if I could produce one that displays the names of the months etc in her own language. Is there a straight-forward way to create an iPhoto calendar in French instead of my default English?

I believe you can go to the System/International preference pane and set the computer's language to French. That should let you create your calendar in French and order it. Then reset the default language back to English.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can i create DB in shared mem, rather than backed by a file

Hi
I'm using db 4.2.6 version and trying to create a DB in shared mem rather than a file. How do I achieve that.
While I look at documentation here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/programmer_reference/env_region.html
==========
If the DB_SYSTEM_MEM flag is specified to DB->open(), shared regions are created in system memory rather than files. This is an alternative mechanism for sharing the Berkeley DB environment among multiple processes and multiple threads within processes.
===========
But DB->open() rejects DB_SYSTEM_MEM flat out. db->open() doesn't even talk about flag:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_reference/C/dbopen.html
I could specify DB_SYSTEM_MEM for DBENV.
Here is my code. Also DBENV->open() won't let me specify DB_PRIVATE.
flags = DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_CREATE | DB_SYSTEM_MEM | DB_INIT_TXN | DB_RECOVER | DB_INIT_LOG |
DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE;
dbenv->open(dbenv, dbhome, flags, 0);
flags = DB_CREATE | DB_EXCL| DB_AUTO_COMMIT;
dbp->open(dbp, NULL, dbfile, NULL, DB_BTREE, flags, 0);If I create db as above, where is it getting created? I don't see it here:
# ./bdbperf -t -i 10000 -k 32 -v 128;ls -la dbtest
create log/transaction
creating in system mem
inserted 10000 records. errs 0

inserting 10000 records took 0s.290ms (29 micros/op)

However, if I specify a filename arg in dbp->open(), I do see a file with that name in my env dir 'dbtest'. db_stat on such file seems to be good.

When reading the documentation, I would indicate to read the documentation from the release package you downloaded. The online documentation is accurate for the latest BDB release.

That's a documentation error, it should refer to the DB_ENV->open()method. Thanks for pointing it out! As you can see, the DB_SYSTEM_MEM is linked to the DB_ENV->open() method: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_reference/C/envopen.html#envopen_DB_SYSTEM_MEM

user3143985 wrote:
2. how do I get stats for such DB?If you want to allocate region memory from the heap instead of from memory backed by the filesystem or system shared memory, you'll have to specify DB_PRIVATE ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_reference/C/envopen.html#envopen_DB_PRIVATE ). DB_PRIVATE should not be specified if more than a single process is accessing the environment because it is likely to cause database corruption and unpredictable behavior. For example, if both a server application and Berkeley DB utilities (for example, db_archive, db_checkpoint or db_stat) are expected to access the environment, the DB_PRIVATE flag should not be specified.

Does iCould Control Panel V2 still create new Outlook data files rather than using the default data files already in use?

This has always made iCloud for the PC an impossibility for me, and seems to be just a plain stupid implementation. Moving all the calendar and tasks to a proprietary iCloud data file within Outlook breaks so many other things that I need to use within Outlook. Does version 2 of iCloud Control Panel still work this way?

Yes, just like Microsoft Exchange, Zimbra, Gmail etc.

Is it possible to use Aperture to make a new image from two existing ones--ie, in a new jpg? I essentially want to create a collage that I can then print as a single image, rather than in a book. Any advice will be most welcome!

Is it possible to use Aperture to make a new jpg from two existing ones? I'd essentially like to create a photo collage (without using existing templates) that I can then print as a single image, rather than in a book. Any advice will be most welcome! Thanks.

(Added)
The main point is that Aperture is used to make digital negatives as good as they can be (for the uses you define), but it does not ADD date to your digital negatives, nor does it produce NEW combination files. For those tasks you need a Graphics program.

Can i manage ibook collections on itunes, rather than on the ipad

can i manage ibook collections on itunes, rather than on the ipad.

did you mean, iTunes Store and then Books? thats the only thing i can find (following your notes above).
what I am trying to do is add PDF documents to iBooks and organise them into collections.
however, i have found a work around:
1. transfer the PDFs to the library (they go into Books automatically)
2. highlight/select the PDFs that I want to group
3. right click, get info, info tab
4. create a Genre.
doing this method creates categories. not as good as collections, but this will do for now.
if anyone can tell me how to create collections for iBooks (using iTunes - not iBooks on the iPad); please reply.
thanks anyway.

Can I create a calendar on my mac to share with students using ipads?

Students at my school will be using iPads starting this fall. I want to know whether I can create a calendar on my Mac in iCal to share with students using iPads. Would the calendar appear in their iPad Calendar app? Would they be able to make any changes? Add notes?
Thanks for any information you might have.

You will need an iCloud account. You can share a non-editable calendar to people who don't have iCloud accounts, but if you want them to able to edit them they will have to have iCloud accounts (which are free).
Please see this and the subsequent pages:

Can I create a calendar

I am trying to create a calendar for my family. Something I saw made me think Firefox has a way to do this and I would like to know how.

Hi!
Firefox is a web browser, it can open webpages in the Internet's World Wide Web.
There are plenty of websites that help you create calendars, such as [http://www.google.com/calendar Google Calendar] , and you can visit them using Firefox. Google Calendar is one of my personal favourites because it allows me to share my calendars with other people easily.
I'm trying to think where you might have seen calendars related to Firefox ... Mozilla, the foundation that helps create Firefox, also has a Calendar project, which is called Sunbird. This is a calendar application which saves settings to your computer, though I believe it's possible to configure it to use an online service for sharing with others. This project is available [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/ here] , as an individual application ("Sunbird") and as a plugin (named "Lightning") for Mozilla's e-mail client, Thunderbird. If you don't have Thunderbird installed, or if you don't want to have another e-mail client, choose "Sunbird".
Please let me know if I solved your question by marking this question as solved!
Thanks :D

Can I created a calendar in spanish

I am trying to create a calendar in spanish. Does anyone know how to do that?

You can change the system's languague to Spanish to work on the calendar or try this application: TJ-HD Software - Language Switcher. It will let you use a different languague in an applicaiton while keeping the system language the same.
I've not used it but others have reported success with it.

Can't create new calendar events through Thunderbird

Hi,
I have Lightning installed and hooked up to two Google Calendars, one for actual events (both work and personal) and one for things like local holidays and week numbers (this is a read-only calendar Google's put together).
My issue is that I can't create a new event on my personal calendar through Thunderbird. I can open the "create new event" dialog box no problem, and fill in all the details, but when I hit "Save and Close" nothing happens - the dialog box stays open, and no event is created.
I can create events in a 'local' calendar (e.g. the blank "Home" calendar that Lightning comes with as a default). I can log into my Google calendar through my browser and create events no problem, but then hitting the "synchronise" button in Thunderbird doesn't make them show up (although syncing the calendar app on my android phone, linked to the same Google Calendar, makes the new events created through the browser show up no problem).
The only other information I can offer is that on the Calendar tab in Thunderbird, on the left of the screen, there's list of the calendars my Thunderbird/Lightning has installed/synchronised: "Home" (a local calendar, basically empty but functioning), "Luke John's Calendar" (Google Calendar, the one I'm having the problem with), and "Week Numbers" (Read-only Google Calendar, I don't know if it's possible to create new events on because it's read only). Next to both "Luke John's Calendar" and "Week Numbers" are little (error?) symbols: black exclamation marks in yellow triangles, which give the rollover text "The Calendar [name] is momentarily not available."
Any suggestions for sorting this out? I'd be very grateful!

Hi Benito,
What does it mean when a subscribed calendar is corrupted?
The files iCal uses to store the calendars (.ics files) are text files. (You can look at one by exporting a calendar from iCal and opening the .ics file with a text editor.) When you subscribe to a calendar you are copying the calendar file to your hard drive. If some information is missing in the file, or the data is ordered in the wrong way, this can lead to iCal not functioning properly.
The error could be on the server or your local copy, from what you write it's hard to tell. You could try subscribing to the problem calendar from another machine to see if it has the same problem.
The usual recommendation for a local calendar (one you created) with this problem is to export and then import the calendar. This means the calendar is re-created from scratch. You can't use this solution with a calendar you are subscribed.
I hope this helps.

TS3999 When I creatae a new calendar it copies all the events in my existing calendars. How can I create a calendar with no events in it???

How can I create a new calendar (e.g. Yoga) that doesn't have all the events on my other calendars (which all appear to be synced with each other)? I just want a blank calendar to start with.
thanks

Can 'track list' button show your playlist rather than album track list?

Hi all
My 3GS iPhone has my music on it in the form of whole albums which live in individual playlists on my Mac, but I also have playlist 'mixes' which I've created from various songs from multiple albums.
When selecting to play a 'mixed' playlist on my iPhone I tap on it, tap the first song to start the music playing, but then if I tap the top right 'track list' button, instead of showing all the tracks in my created playlist it just shows the entire album tracks from where this particular song has come from. Visually I prefer the 'track list' screen but it seems I can't use it if I'm playing a 'mixed' playlist. Is there any way around this?
Also, this is the same if I have a double CD album: once I hit the 'track list' button it shows just CD 1 (or 2 if I'm further down the play list of course), rather than all the tracks even though on they all live in one single playlist on my iTunes. I've even taken the starts of the track names off (some of them start with '1_01 Song Title' for example) when importing them into iTunes to see if that helps but it doesn't: the iPhone KNOWS how that track was originally supplied!
Any help or clarification on this would be very helpful!
Markos

sadly, that kind of customization is only easily doable on a computer. the iPhone and it's core apps can not be changed by users. you can request the feature be put in, but unless there are a LOT of requests, you shouldn't get your hopes up as there are a lot of these kinds of requests, and by implementing it, how many other users would be angry and demand it be changed back? http://www.apple.com/feedback/
if you are playing a song that you selected in a playlist, you should be able to hit the 'back' button in the top left to go back to the playlist and view your songs in the playlist.
in regards to the 'cd 1 of 2' thing, you will need to change your song info to get this to show in the format you want. to see the song info, select a song and go to 'file -> get info'. that will show you all of the ID3 tag information, which you can edit to do whatever you want.
