Can you set a due date in Reminders on Mountain Lion?

It seems that there is no way to set a due date for a task in Reminders on Mountain Lion. In Lion in iCal you could set a Due Date that was different than the reminders you could set for a task. It seems obvious to me that reminders are different than due dates. Reminders can occur multiple times leading up to and on the due date (and perhaps even after a due date), but it is helpful to set a due date. Hopefully Apple will bring this functionality over to Reminders from the Lion version of iCal, as this is a downgrade in this one respect for me.

After having created a reminder, click on the little that appears when you hover over the right side of the list.
Or, when creating a reminder, add the time and date, like this:
"Say Hello 6:32 pm today"

How can I set a due date for reminders?

I DO NOT want it to remind me at a certain time. I just want it to be due on a certain day. You used to be able to do this when the reminders were part of the calendar on icloud.com, but now you can only set a day AND a specific time for an alert about the reminder, which I don't need.
And as far as I can tell, you can't change it on the iPhone either. I'm guessing you can still change it on the iCal app on an actual Mac, but the whole point of icloud is that I don't have to carry my computer with me everywhere I go.

I found a round about way to get the DUE feature.
     click <<remind me>> and set a day
     select <<daily>>
     clink <<done>> and exit
go back into the same reminder and you should see a due feature.
I then removed the reminder, but kept the repeat. As I use this for a check off for my bills.
I think this only works if the date you select initially is in the future.
Let me know if that works,

TS3276 can you have multiple exchange accounts in mail in mountain lion

can you have multiple exchange accounts in mail in mountain lion

Just use IMAP for the accounts. I have 4 Exchange accounts in my Mail app and they are all set up that way. but yes, there can only be 1 Exchange account (which I believe has more to do with the Exchange API than Macs)
hope this helps.

How to set a due date in Reminders

Hey guys this had been bugging me for a while so I decided I'd share my findings. This is a pseudo-fix but I think it works for my purposes.
First, the solution:
Open Automator (go into Spotlight and search "Automator")
Create a new service
Under the "Service Receives" dropdown select "none" and make sure it's "every application"
Then in the search bar to the left find "Run AppleScript"
Drag and drop the "Run AppleScript" to the right.
Paste the following code in the "Run AppleScript":
tell application "System Events" to set FrontAppName to name of first process where frontmost is true
if FrontAppName is "Reminders" then
          tell application "Reminders"
                    set newReminder to make new reminder
                    set name of newReminder to "new reminder"
                    set due date of newReminder to current date
          end tell
else
          display dialog "failed to make new reminder!"
end if
Save the service as whatever you'd like, I named mine "new-reminder-with-due-date"
Now close Automator, go to "System Preferences" -> "Keyboard" -> "Shortcuts"
Go to the bottom where it says "Shortcuts..." Add an entry, in the Application say "Reminders"
Then paste the name of the service name you chose earlier (again mine was "new-reminder-with-due-date")
Choose a shortcut to make a new reminder with a due date, For me I chose CMD + SHIFT + n
Close the System Preferences
Now when you use your shortcut in the Reminders app it will create a new Reminder with the due date set as "now"
Change the due date to whatever you want and there you go
Now the explanation. I used references from:
http://www.macstories.net/tutorials/enhancing-reminders-with-applescript-and-mac ros/
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7570855/where-to-find-what-commands-propertie s-are-available-for-applescript-in-microsof
Basically Reminders happens to have the "due date" property as a scriptable feature. So with AppleScript you can make a new reminder with a due date. I set the date to "Current Date" because I just needed the due date there. You can set the default due date to something else if you'd like but this is at least a solution you can use.
I'm now going to explore how to add a due date to an existing reminder using AppleScript. Hope this helps everyone in the future.

There's a correction to the code. For whatever reason doing it that way still sets it as a "remind me when" parameter. Use the following code instead:
tell application "System Events" to set FrontAppName to name of first process where frontmost is true
if FrontAppName is "Reminders" then
          tell application "Reminders"
                    set duedate to (current date) + (2 * days)
make new reminder with properties {name:"New Reminder", due date:duedate}
          end tell
else
          display dialog "failed to make new reminder!"
end if

Can you upgrade to mavericks from older versions besides Mountain Lion?

Previously, since they were paid, you had to pay your way up to the second-most recent one to upgrade to the most recent one.
However, since Mavericks is free, are you allowed to go from say 10.6 to 10.9, skipping the fee for 10.8 and 10.7?
EDIT: I now know you can jump from 10.7 to 10.9. Can you jump from 10.6 to 10.9?

yes.

HT201299 Can you set a cellular data limit on one specific phone

My phone always seems to make my family's cell plan go over. I have figured out many ways to help not use so much data. My brother has an HTC One M8 and he can set a limit that his phone will not let him go over. I really want that because I dont want to be blamed for it.

Not that I'm aware of. I would check with your cellular provider and see what cellular limiting options they offer.

How can you set a calendar date to repeat every 4 weeks on the ipad

Apart from using a mac...

In iOs, the options are limited and do not include every 4 weeks. You can't, other thatn creating multiple entries (say two that each repeat every two weeks).

Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow

Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow
I need to set it today because there are tasks that is needed to be completed on the same day.
Is there a way without modifying the page/form. like a configuration or something?
----------------------- Sharepoint Newbie

Hi ,
As Ajeet said, for implement your requirement, you can change the data validation on the Due data field.
You can do as the following :
Open the site with SharePoint Designer 2010
Click on Workflows on the left launch, then find ‘Approval-SharePoint 2010’, click on it
On the Forms section, click ‘ReviewApproval_***.xsn’
Then you can find Due Data for All Tasks, and change the validation
In addition, if you create an approval workflow with SharePoint Designer, you can use a specific date, it contains hour and minute.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

the instance associated to my workflow ?
Do you have any advice ?
Thanks

Can we set the dynamic data source when using getReportParameters() ?

Hello!
I have a report where one of its parameters refers to a list of values (LOVs). This list of values is an SQL Query type. When the data source used in the report is defined in the BI Publisher server, I'm able to get the report parameters using the getReportParameters() function in my application. However, if the data source is not defined the function throws an exception, which is understandable.
I decided to dynamically set the data source so that even if the data source used by the report is not defined in the BI Publisher server, it still will be able to get the LOVs for the parameter. I tried setting the JDBCDataSource of the dynamicDataSource for the ReportRequest object that I passed to the getReportParameters() function. Please see the sample code below:
reportRequest.dynamicDataSource = new BIP10.BIPDataSource();
reportRequest.dynamicDataSource.JDBCDataSource = new BIP10.JDBCDataSource();
setReportDataSource(reportRequest.dynamicDataSource.JDBCDataSource, connectstr, jdbc, dc); //function to set the values for JDBCDataSource object
reportParams = webrs.getReportParameters(reportRequest, uid, pwd); //call the getReportParameters
I was expecting this to work as this is what I did to dynamically set the data source before calling the runReport function. So, my question is -- can we set the dynamic data source when using getReportParameters() ? I tried this both in versions 10g and 11g. It does not seem to work on both versions.
Regards,
Stephanie

report_id column of apex_application_page_ir_rpt can help us uniquely identify each saved report.
We can assign this report_id value to a page item and this page item can be put in the Report ID Item text box of the Advanced section of the Report Attributes page of the IR.
This should load the saved report identified by report_id and you can get rid of javascript

How can I set the insert date to auto update in Pages 5.2.2

how can I set the insert date to auto update in Pages 5.2.2
I am attempting to have the date in header auto update in a Pages file.
I can insert it, but where is the AUTO UPDATE selection
OS10.9.4
thank you

Apple never included the auto-update feature for dates in Pages v5.2.2. You would have to single-click the date, and deliberately update it.
If you have Pages ’09 v4.3 in /Applications/iWork '09, then it will allow you to configure auto-update of the date field. Right-click on the date, set the format, and click the selection for automatically update on open.
