Can't see iCal in .mac account

I am brand new to Mac and apologize if this is dense of me. . . .I can't find my iCal in my .mac account. I've published it, synchronized everything and still can't see it. Is there a special place I should look or something else I need to do? Also - how do I change the color of an event in my calendar?
Thanks! Jen

Pat,
I tried the instructions you gave by pressing on 'command and fn and 1 and all it does is change the view to the 'day' view (vs week and/or month).
My reply was based on the fact that the Original Poster had a MacBook.
Your hardware profile lists "iMac desktop," which I presume refers to one of the most recent 20' or 24" iMac's.
I was able to see and utilize the info button previously, however since the most recent updates to my mac software the button is no longer there.
The iCal window no longer contains an Info button.
If you have created an event in the iCal window, you should be able to select either (⌘I), or (⌘E) to gain access to the Info/Edit bubble.
When I open an event and I want to set an alarm, the background of the field is black.
If the Info/Edit bubble displays no text fields, that is not normal behavior. In that case I would recommend that you attempt to refresh the com.apple.iCal.plist file.
Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.
I would also recommend that you update your software specifications in "My Settings." If you have not already done so, you should also install the OS X 10.5.2 Update.
Good Luck.
;~)

Can't see the other Mac on the network

I have a iMac G5 and a MacBook Pro connected via wirelss at home. Sometimes I can't see the other Mac in the Network folder, however I can connect to the other Mac (even I can't see them in the network folder) by afp the IP address via Safari... I have enabled the "personal file sharing" option in both of the machine.
Help please.
Samuel

Sam,
I've had the same problems numerous times myself: the other Macs don't show in the network folder. Why? I'm not too sure myself, I've been given several possible explanations by the geniouses in San Francisco. However, the best trick to connect is via the Finder 'Go to' menu. The very last item should say something like "Connect to server..." -which is the same as the 'Command-K' combination of keys. That'll bring up a list of the last few servers on the network, and al you have to do is choose the one you want, and voilà!

I can receive mail on my mac account, but I can't send mail. What should I do?

I can receive mail on my mac account, but I can't send mail. What should I do?

Hello, sounds like you haven't switched to iCloud yet, the old dot Mac & MobileMe servers are going away or gone for most already.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

Accessing iCal from .mac account

I've been able to publish my iCal without trouble, but I'm wondering if I can access and edit my calendar from a different (and PC) computer, while in my .mac account? Or, am I only able to edit it while in the iCal application?
Also, am I able to view my calendar from my .mac page, without publishing it for the public? I'd like to look at it from work... but don't need/want my friends viewing it!

See this thread: Amy Vandawalker, "ical and multiple computers", 03:31pm Aug 29, 2005 CDT
The short answer is no; you can't edit iCal calendars from a PC. You need a .Mac account and Macs to edit.
Seems like everyone has the same problem.
As far as private publishing, .Mac is not private as far as publishing Calendars go (though someone would have to know or guess you .mac name and calendar name to get to it).
Alternatively you can use iCalX: http://www.icalx.com/
It apparently has password protection.

Can't log with my .mac account

I have registered two acounts on my iChat and all worked perfectly up to this morning. i was disconnected from my iChat because of the computer that switched of during the night and kno I can't anymore log on my .mac account. I have a message saying that i'm disconnected : Auth:DbSendError.
Can you tell me why ? What can I do ? Nothing shows why or what is really the problem...
Thank you for your help...

Hi,
As you may have read in older threads it has been a constant intermittent problem with the AIM servers when they go through an Update process.
It seems that they clear out older Unused screen names from time to time.
Now this used to happen about 4 times a year with an Early December one being the most intensive.
It seems nowadays they are smaller issues (less people effected) but happen more often.
Unfortunately it seems the link they have with the .mac server for @Mac screen names is the most often seen problem for @mac names.
There has also been a bit of a rush with people trying out Leopard and it's new iChat version.
This is not only new people but current people logging On and Off as they change settings.
Leopard also seems to offer a SSL login to AIM which may also add to problems of synching more servers.
This FAQ can help to check the places it is held to see if your account and Password work

Can't send email from .mac account on iPhone

I can no longer send from my .mac account. I get the error message on the phone "The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.mac.com" failed"".
This occurs both on edge and on WiFi. I have looked through other suggested fixes and have tried deleting the account on the phone and setting it up directly on the phone. I've also tried toggling the "sync mail account" setting in iTunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Assuming you are using the Mail.app on your Mac, what are you using as the server port for .Mac's SMTP server?
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for .Mac's SMTP server.
If 25, enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting and if you are transferring your .Mac account settings from your Mac to the iPhone via the iTunes sync preferences for your iPhone, re-sync to transfer this change to the iPhone.
If the account was manually entered on the iPhone and you aren't syncing the account settings from your Mac, in the SMTP server field for your .Mac account preferences on the iPhone, add 587 to the server separated by a colon.
smtp.mac.com:587
This should take care of it.
My .Mac account is my primary account and I haven't had any problems sending messages with my .Mac account on any WiFi network or EDGE with this setting.

How can I see my 2 ITunes account on my apple TV?

Hello,
I have two ITunes accounts (for some reason that I can't remember at one point it was modified) and I have purchases under my A account and purchases under my B account (both under the same credit card information and email, just different ID).
For some reason I can only see on my new generation Apple TV the purchases that I did with the most recent account. To see the other movies, I can't see them under my "movies" on the Applet TV , I have to go to "computer" and see my libraries. I want to see "all" my movies under my purchases, without going to my library
I appreciate your support on this
Thanks and have a nice day

Both iTunes and ATV can only connect and activte to one AppleId. So you can only see one account. If you are seeing other content on your computer it must be downloaed locally. So you will be able to see what ever content your local iTunes content has under the Computers icon. So to see the movies in iTunes you would go to Computers > Movies.
You might also contact Apple customer service to see if they can merge your other account into this one.

Can't see disk content with accounts set-up in Airport Extreme.

Hello, all.
I can't see the contents of a hard disk I have connected to my Airport Extreme and shared using accounts. Accounts have been set-up as Read & Write, and Read only, but finder window is empty. Disk mounts on the desktop but doesn't display its contents.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thank you in advance.

Canle modem off, Airport Extreme off. Connect the modem and the extreme with ethernet cable. Power the modem. Wait about a minute, power the extreme. Use Airport Utility (in your Utilities folder) to set up the extreme. Review directions for the extreme as that will help.

Can see Windows PCs from Mac, but can't see (and access) Mac from PCs

Yesterday, I ran into a strange problem which I'm not able to figure out.
I share an office with some engineers, who have their computer environment (server, network), all running Windows (XP and Vista on the PCs, Windows 2003 for the server).
Within that environment, I have 2 PCs (both XP) and an iBook G4 (Leopard 10.5.4.). I have also a printer (Epson Laser), which is connected to the office network, and an Airport Extreme Base Station.
Until last week, I could connect from my PCs to my iBook (wirelessly), and from the iBook I could connect to my PCs, the server, and via the server print on my printer (again, all wirelessly).
Over the weekend, I took out the Airport Extreme Base Station (to help with an issue at home - see my thread over at Printing), and yesterday I brought it back to the office and installed it again.
And since I re-installed the Base Station, this is the problem:
1. from PCs, I can't see the iBook (can't attach a PC drive letter - eg. I:\), and therefore can't access it
2. from the iBook, I can't print to my printer - furthermore, when I select the Printing preference and click "Add Printer", no printers whatsoever show up (the list stays blank), whereas before the engineers' printer (some Minolta Bizhub with Bonjour) would show up as well
3. I can, however, access the Windows server from my iBook
Any ideas what's going on? I tried to solve this, but gave up quickly (no way I can possibly figure this out), plus I have this issue at home (can't print wirelessly to a printer attached via USB to a Time Capsule - I can, however, print to the same printer if I attach it to the previously used Airport Express!) - 2 problems and mounting headaches!
I am thinking about re-installing the whole system (take off all data, do a complete wipe and start afresh…), but don't like to spend a whole day doing this…
Again, thanks for any advice!
Jan

You only need one computer to configure the Base Station - and since you can easily do this from your PC, you really don't need to be able to do it from your Mac as well. I suggest you stop worrying about this, leave your Base Station running with the current firmware version, and use your PC if you ever need to make a configuration change.
Note that NO Base Station software needs to be installed on the Mac, for the Mac to be able to connect wirelessly to the Base Station. If your Mac is currently unable to establish a wireless connection to the Base Station, you have a different problem - and one that won't be solved by installing the Airport Admin Utility or downgrading firmware on the Base Station. Incidentally - what type of wireless security are you using on the Base Station - WEP or WPA? A base station configured to use WPA security will only be accessible by a Mac running at least MacOS 10.3.

Can't see volumes with Mac os x server install

I'm having a problem installing MAC OS X Server on a RAIDed MAC PRO (3 drives @ RAID 5: Here are the steps that I have done so far with no luck: created a RAID level 5 with RAID utility from CLIENT OS install cd that came with mac pro. Created one giant volume with the entire contents of disk space on the RAID with the CLIENT OS install cd/RAID utility also. Rebooted, the MAC PRO, ejected the CLIENT OS cd, inserted MAC OS X server install CD. When I get to the screen where I choose my volume to install the OS on, I can't see any volumes. I was told by Apple and CDW (reseller) to go to disk utility and do an ERASE on the volumes, that should format the drive and should be seen by the OS X Server install. It didn't work. It's interesting that I can install the normal client OS after creating my RAID, Volumes, etc... But the OS X Server install DVD doesn't see the volumes during the install process, OR using disk utility from the OSX server install disk, but disk utility on the MAC OS X client CD sees it fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Does Apple support their RAID card in Mac Pro using Server? or does Server need to be updated? Minimum requirements for Mac Pro RAID card is 10.4.10.
You could try the cheat method: install everything on a single drive and clone it and see if it works.
From a discussion yesterday or Monday, only Apple drivers are supported on the Mac Pro (firmware?) and not 3rd party retail drives (a bummer) so you've got nearly $2000.

My iMac can not see my mini Mac via Airport extreme using host name, only via IP address. What am I doing wrong ?

I have an iMac and a mini Mac attached to the same Airport extreme. It would appear that Bonjour works because I can see the hostname of the mini Mac server in Finder on the iMac.
But if I type in the host name (myminimac.private) in the Safari browser at the iMac it can not find the mini mac. However if I type in the IP address of the mini mac server it can see the see it.
It used to work but I must have done something to mess it up.
Anybody any suggestions ?

You have the wrong card. You need the original AirPort card for your G4.
...how the **** do i get the Superdrive to open up so i can put in a CD/DVD?
If the keyboard has a media eject key, press that. If not, hold down F12.

In Finder, along the left hand side, is a group called "Shared". Click on it, and it shows all other computers on the network.

Can not send email from .mac account from the iPhone

I'm having problems sending email from my iPhone from my .Mac Account and says the outgoing server timed out. Any Suggestions?

This error message indicates you are not using the correct server port for .Mac's SMTP server.
Did you transfer the account settings from your Mac to the iPhone automatically via the iTunes sync process or did you manually create your .Mac account on the iPhone?
If the former, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP Server selection, select the Server Settings button below for .Mac's SMTP server.
If 25 is available in the Server Port field, enter 587 in place of 25 and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting and then re-sync your iPhone making sure your .Mac account is selected for account settings to be transferred to the iPhone.
