Can't seem to label new calendars?
After downloading Mountain Lion, I can't seem to label new calendars as anything other than 'untitled'. Is anybody also having this problem? Is it a glitch awaiting the next update, or is there a way of getting around this. Minor issue perhaps, but annoying.
Double click "untitled" and enter the new name.

When I try to open a spreadsheet on my Mac that I worked on with my iPhone, I get "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet." When I go to the App store, it says I already have it. I have v. 2.3 and can't seem to download newer version.
If you are running Mavericks, and the Mac App store says you are up to date, then you have Numbers 3.2 as well as Numbers 2.3. You are getting the "Need a newer version message because your Mac is trying to open the document using Numbers 2.3.
Launch Numbers 3, then open the document from within that app, or right click/control-click the document and choose Open with Numbers 3.x.

I can't seem to sync my calendar on my iphone to iCal because the default email address associated with my calendar on my iphone was to an old work email address that I no longer have. When I go to ICal it asks for the username and password which I no longer have. The calendar is still on my phone (even though the email account is on my phone but doesn't work) Is there a way to copy my calendar to a different email address on my iphone? I have now set the default email account for the calendar to a current email address but I still can't figure out how to merge my iphone calendars, copy the iphone calendar to iCal, or save my iphone calendar to my mac. Also, I read in ITunes to check "sync to ICal" but my ITunes under my iphone and info just says "Sync Calendars" which doesn't transfer it to iCal when I sync my phone.

Can't update to the new calendar
I have now spent 4 hours today trying to get my iCal working - and I've been a Mac user since 1990.
I do have a calendar on Mobile Me -- calendar/old -whatever that is..
I have tried to update to the new calendar 4 times -- and I get an error message each time:
Your calendar upgrade for the new MobileMe Calendar couldn't finish because of a server error. Please try again.
Don't worry, no calendar data has been lost. However, you should wait until the upgrade is complete before setting up your other devices. Thank you for your patience.
Server error ???? Thanks, Apple -- that helps a lot.
I am so messed up with iCal today that I'm ready to shut down and look for a glass of something strong ....
I have a working calendar "On My Mac" -- called iCal
It does sync between 5 Macs and my iPad and 2 iPods ---
But - I also have a calendar called "Home" at [email protected] It is empty.
My first thought is to ignore [email protected] -- and just keep working with what works - iCal on my Mac. But - it has hundreds of duplicates of events - some of them from some old USA holiday calendar in the 90's -- and I get sync messages that tell me that sync is about to add another 2440 iCal events to each computer --- over and over again.
What a piece of crap - I hate iCal - and Mobile Me - and Me.Com -----
I'll call Apple on Monday and see if I can get some return for all the Apple Cares that I have paid for on everything.
This is not well engineered - or documented - or implemented - shame on Apple for doing this to me.I have the same problem and no help from Apple

I cannot seem to access properly any more the new e mail messages on my I pad. I can only see strings of messages that relate to each other.
Also I cannot search for old messages that have now disappeared . The search bar has disappeared.
TomTry a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

Can't seem to create new users and log in
Please help. I'm almost sure that this has something to do with a game or other download that my teenager has done. About three weeks ago, she was unable to fully log into her user. She would type in her password, and then screen would change to the background she picked, and then the pointer would turn into the spinning color wheel (which my children now call The Spinning Wheel of Death), and that's it. No dock. No menu at the top. Forever spinning. It then somehow migrated to my oldest son's user, and he had the same problem. (Which leads me to believe that he was playing the same game she was and it corrupted something somehow.) My user, my husband's user and my youngest child's user are perfectly fine. I deleted their user accounts and tried to create new ones. They can be created, but when we try to log them in, The Spinning Wheel of Death occurs. I've tried using different names for the accounts, and get the same result every time. I've run Disk Utility and it repaired lots of different permissions, but it doesn't change what happens when we try to log in. We've had this computer for nearly two years, and so there is no warranty on it anymore. Help!
PackerwidowHI,
Back up all your important data on all accounts and perform either an Archive & Install or Erase and Install, instructions here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1545
First, boot from your install disc and run Disk Utility in case there are errors on the startup disk.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

Can't seem to install new version of Flash
My new cell phone/PDA has a CD with software I need, as well as an instruction manual. When I insert the CD I get a message that I need Flash--at least version 8--to view the CD.
I have read everything at Adobe, and tried many things to uninstall old Flash versions and install latest version 10. I keep getting the same message. I have made certain that nothing else is running as I uninstall old version. I have downloaded uninstall aids from Adobe. I have cleared registry--which Adobe says is a biggie with Internet Explorer (even though I use Firefox).
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

HT4967 How to add a new calendar to Calendar
I have used iCal for years, I recently upgraded from 10.6 to 10.8 and now I can't seem to add a calendar to my Calendar without going to iCloud. Right now I don't want to spend the time learning how to integrate existing calendars into iCloud. Please help
Open Calendar, select Preferences from Calendar menu, click on Accounts icon in the toolbar. Uncheck the box for Enable this account. Click on the box Edit Account, select the iCloud account, then uncheck the boxes for all the iCloud items you don't want to sync automatically.

in ical I just added new calendars to a pre-existing calendar group, I can make events with these calendars, but not reminders, any suggestions?
Hi,
Lion has changed the way reminders (todos as was) work. They now seem to need to be in a seperate calendar.
In iCal open the File menu and select New Reminder List... and select where to put it.
Best wishes

I created a new Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone, but I can't seem to find a way to "sign out" or "log out" of that Apple ID (for iCloud) to sign in with another Apple ID. The only account login I could change was the Store.
How do I "log out" or "sign out" of iCloud on my iPhone? There is an option to delete the account, but I just want to log off. I want to keep the account name for future use.@fernandamagalhaes
It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Note: If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
Note: If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.

Can't seem to sync my phone with iCal because I get a message that says:No writable calendar. I tried the suggestions I found in Help including a Terminal command to no avail.
I can only suggest you now need to somehow link your mobile to sync with the new calendar 'On my Mac'.
I have a work Blackberry whose calendar I sync with an iCal calendar 'On my Mac' using a usb lead and the Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac. This free piece of software from Blackberry, automatically starts up as soon as I connect the usb to the iMac and it then prompts me to select which calendar 'On the iMac', which is writable, that I want my Blackberry to sync to. -
Our exchange server crashed and we lost all contact and calendar data. We found an app to get the contacts off of people's phone to import but can't find the same for calendar. How do I get my calendar info off my phone and in to new exchange server?
You'd have to think through this, but it seems like if you are using Outlook, and the items vanished from the Outlook client as well as the server,that you could re-populate Outlook using iTunes.

I recently launched a podcast series (http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/notes-from-northwest-passage/id449063851) but its still showing an older description text with some typos and an incorrect link in it, as I registered it with a pre-edited file so it would be in line for review while I finalized the details, and now I can't seem to get it to refresh and show the new texts at all, even though I edited the description texts in the xml file well over 2-3 weeks ago.
I've tried redoing this file several times. It always validates but changes never get picked up by the iTunes store.I can manually subscribe to the feed using iTunes' advanced menu, with no problems. The feed is at:
http://a4.g.akamai.net/7/4/66750/v1/smb2.download.akamai.com/66750/http/podcasts /archaeology2011/arcticarchaeology2011_eng.xml
I recently (about 3-4 days ago) tried redirecting the feed to a new version of the xml file stored in a new folder, just to see if that would somehow jolt it back into reading it, but again after 3-4 days it hasn't done anything.
It's also not showing any of the most recent episodes even though they have all been there about a week, so the store should have picked them up by now, no?
Any suggestions?If you look at the feed, and look at the entry 'The end to an exciting field season in Aulavik National Park' you will see the line:
<pubDateFri, 29 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
You have not closed the 'pubdate' tag - there should be a '>' as the 9th character. Because the tag has been left open, it invalidates everything which follows it, and thus the entire feed. iTunes therefore cannot read it, which is why the Store has not updated. Add the '>' and republish, and all should be well.
It's always worth checking your feed by subscribing manually, from the 'Advanced' menu, or by clicking the 'subscribe free' button on the Store page (both do the same thing) - if you can subscribe to the feed it should be OK. -
New to Accessibility and have run into problems I can't seem to find answers to.
At my job I've been trying to learn how to make files accessible for a client. I've watched many videos and scoured forums but there are some issues and can't seem to resolve and was wondering if anyone would be able to assist.
1.Table tagging- all the information I've been able to find on this suggests that you create a table style for your table in indesign and apply it (it doesn't have to have anything in it really, just as long as there is a style applied?). Then make sure you have header row that is tagged as such. I've got that, but beyond that I can't find any more information. I was having to apply paragraph styles to each cell in the table to get it to pass the accessiblity checker in acrobat.
2. Forms- When it comes to tagging forms in my pdf, I was having to click on "find" under the tags panel and manually tag them, then manually move them to their correct locations. Is there a better way to do this? Also, I was hoping I could copy and paste forms from one document to the next but I lose all tags on those forms when I do that.
3. I have a lot of documents where I have "*" or "†" used next to a word to trigger a legal disclosure at the bottom of the document. Would the proper way to use these be to make them a hyperlink to the disclosures at the bottom? I was initially going to cross-reference them to the disclosures, but since the cross-reference places new text (ex, See below, or See Section Title), I would then have to re-submit all my text to legal to have them approve it all over again.
4. I have created metadata information for a logo used in my files but I notice it has the tag name "pathpathpathpathpath". Any clue why?
5. Sometimes words are broken into two or three tags instead of one fluid word tag, such as c or poration, instead of just corporation.
6. Everytime I run the accessiblity checker I get the notification that "tab order failed". I know I can right click and hit fix, is that ok?
7. I sometimes have empty tags where a space is, do I need to delete these?
8. I can't seem to get the whole document to read aloud to test it. I can get it to read the copy I've selected but I can't really test the reading order on this.
Sorry for all these questions!1. I am not an Indesign user, so I cannot help you there. Table tagging in Acrobat can be complex, especially if the table is not regular (same number of cells in every row). Please post any specific questions regarding table tagging.
2. I do not know of an easier way of tagging form fields. With practice, it is not too burdensome. After all the work of creating, positioning, and configuring the form fields, I find tagging the fields to be the easiest step.
3. I would tag the "*" or "†" as an in-line Reference, tag the disclosure as a Note, then position the Note as close as practical to the Reference in the document structure without disrupting the reading flow. Usually this is right after the paragraph that includes the Reference.
4. This is normal. “path” is the word Acrobat uses for a some graphical elements. If the metadata is alt text you will find it in the tag properties.
5. I would retag the paragraph (or header, or whatever it is) using the Touchup Reading Order tool.
6. In the Acrobat Page Thumbnails pane, select all the pages then right-click, Page Properties, and select Use Document Structure on the Tab Order pane.
7. The tags are probably not empty, but rather contain the space character. These do not seem to cause any problems but to me they clutter up the tag tree so I tag the spaces as background artifacts.
8. An easier way to check the reading order is to use a tool that lets you see the document in the way an AT user would hear it. PDFgoHTML from Callas Software (http://www.callassoftware.com/callas/doku.php/en:products:pdfgohtml), and the screen-reader preview feature in PAC 1.3 (http://www.access-for-all.ch/en/pdf-lab/pdf-accessibility-checker-pac/dl132.html) are my favorites.
Hope some of this helps. Please post any follow-up questions (for best results – one at a time with as much detail as practical on the problem :-) ).
