Can't create an alarm in calendar

Hi,
I can't create an alarm in Calendar.
It says,"You can’t add or change events in the Birthdays calendar."
All I want to do is create a simple alarm to remind me later today.
Is that too much to ask for?

You can set default alert for calendar
Calendar > Preferences... > Alerts > do it here
or use a Reminder

Can´t create an afternoon Outlook calendar item on iCloud

I am using iCloud to synchronize items with my Mac. Outlook is configured with three calendars, its native calendar tied to my Outlook email address, a second calendar that I do not use tied to a generic email address that I do use, and the iCloud calendar. I am on temporary assignment in Mexico and the standard language setup is the following: OS menus are in English. Outlook menus are in English. Email text editing language is Spanish. Calendar items are in Spanish. The date format is Spanish using a.m. and p.m.
If I try to create an item in my iCloud calendar from Outlook, it will not allow me to specify a time in the afternoon. Any attempt to do so still results in getting an appointment for the same time in the morning (or, rather, very early morning). For example, I create an appointment for 2 p.m. It ends up being for 2 a.m. If I change it to 3 p.m., it ends up being changed to 3 a.m.
The workaround is to set up the item in the Outlook calendar for either of the email addresses, then dragging it into the iCloud calendar. Alternatively, the incorrect item in the iCloud calendar can be dragged into the Outlook calendar, adjusted to p.m., and then dragged back into iCloud.
Naturally, this does not happen on the Mac.
Is anyone aware of a fix for this?
The Mac is a MacBook Pro running Mavericks, but this problem really happens independently from the Mac. The version of Windows is Windows 7 Enterprise, 6.1.7601 (SP1). I am using Outlook 2013. iCloud control panel is 3.1.

Taken from the main screen of the iCloud.com website:
"To use iCloud, first set it up with your Apple ID on a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion."
Did you follow this advice?

Can't create iPhoto Books and Calendars

I have OS10.10 on a 3.1 GHZ Core i7 iMac. It is a new machine and works very well. When I try to create a calendar or book for order in iPhoto nothing happens. It creates an album but beyond that I can not do anything.
Anyone else have this problem.
Thanks,
John

What are the steps you are using - what version of iPhoto do you have?
one way is to create an album and put th photos for the book or calendar in the album - open the album and select all then under share create the book or calendar
If it does not work what exactly does happen? What error messages do you get?

My iPhone3gs can't create an event in calendar when i use ios5

How can i subscribe to a premade calendar?

I am trying to add a new calendar to my iCloud account and I know I have seen premade calendars for things like US Holidays and college football schedules! How do I do it?!?

Unfortunately you can not create a new premade calendar abbonement via www.icloud.com. The only way to create/subscribe for a premade calendar is on your mac. Unfortunately there is one more restriction: The premade calendar will only show up on your iOS devices and Macs but not on www.icloud.com.

Is there a way to create three different physical calendars in ical so that I can get a fiscal view of the calendars?

Is there a way to create three physically different calendars in iCal so that I can view the calendar and events from a fical point of view?

iCal just shows the calendars you have created in your account(s). So if you are using iCloud just log into your iCloud account in a web browser and make as many new calendars as you wish to have. Then enable those in iCal.
If you use Google accounts or something else for the calendars, then create them as needed, and enable them in iCal.
I have several separate calendars all displayed in iCal - a couple linked through my Gmail accounts, and one through my iCloud account. Each uses a different default item color so they are distinct in iCal.

How can I share a project specific calendar I created on Entourage 2008 ?

How can I share a project specific calendar I created on Entourage 2008 without showing my personal calendar? I created a project specific calendar using Entourage 2008 for Mac. I want to add someone that uses Outlook from a PC. We are in the same exchange network. I have added this person in under the sharing tab, but don't see a way to invite her to view it, and it does not appear on her Outlook list of shared calendars. I was able to invite her to view my main calendar, but not the project specific one. Any suggestions?

Tap and hold a file. When it starts to shake, drag it on top of another file. This will create your folder. By the way, you can't create any nested folders (folders inside of folders).

Can I create a printed calendar in iphoto with ipad. Don't see that option.

IPhoto used in past by others in family to create a family calendar as Xmas gift. This year it is my job. Downloaded iPhoto for iPad from App Store. (Paid $4.99). Now can't find path to create a calendar. Description of iPhoto includes calendar, but seems ambiguous on use of iPhoto iPad app for this. Maybe can only do calendars on the Mac version? Can I use iPhoto for iPad to make a calendar?

iPhoto on the iPad can be used to make photo books, but not calendars. It is a very different program from the Mac version of iPhoto. I hope you have access to a mac to create your christmas calendar.

Search the AppStore for "Foto Calendar". I have not tried any of these apps, but there are quite a few, that claim to be able to create an "Awesome foto calendar"

Looking for software or a service with which I can create a personalized photo calendar

I am looking for software or a service with which I can create a personalized photo calendar. Any recommendations?
Jerry

Thanks for the reply.
iPhoto, unfortunately, has some real problems in my opinion. Control over image placement and size is limited. This is compounded by the fact that Apple has not made the job any easier by refusing to publish information such as recommended aspect ratios and pixel sizes of images used to create a calendar. Obviously, these both change as the page layouts change. But, I don't think it is too much to ask that Apple supply image aspect ratios for each frame size, 2:3, 3:4, 1:1, or something else. What pixel sizes are required for each frame size/aspect? It is impossible to place 2 photos (or 1 photo and a name) on one date should 2 birthdays fall on one day.
Further, there is no recommendation for color space to be used by the printer.
I am tired of trying out a photo in the calendar only to find it looks bad at the pixel size and aspect I chose, then have to go back to the original, re-crop, resize, and wrestle with bringing it back to iPhoto. (I use Aperture to organize my images.)
I must also add that I had a very bad experience with an iPhoto book earlier this year. Don't know if Apple has fixed the problems as I refuse to invest another 20 hours of time and more then $150.00 to find out.
I am seriously looking for something to replace iPhoto (unless changes are made) to do the 10 or 15 calendars for my family again this year (and possibly redo my book).

Exchange 2010 SP3 - How many Calendar Items/Folders can you create under "all public folder"

Hi,
Is there a limitation on how many calendar items/folders you can create under "all public folder" in Exchange 2010 SP3?
Thank you

I don't believe you can create calendar items under the root folder, but it's been so long since I worked with a system that had public folders that I'm not sure. If you mean "a folder that can contain calendar items", that is not a calendar
item itself.
Now, I believe your underlying question is, "How many folders can be created at the root level of the public folder hierarchy?" If so, there is no simple limit that I know of (you can have thousands, if you really want), but management gets
pretty unruly with the more that you have. I normally recommend that you create sub-folders to logically meet your requirements, then have each of these with more folders (normally that only specific groups of users will be able to access or add items
to). And anyone will tell you that you want to restrict anyone from creating their own folders at the root level. In fact, this is the default setting for a new Exchange 2010 installation.
I'll add that you really should stop trying to use public folders, since there are newer technologies (SharePoint, for instance) that work much better and are much easier to use.
