Can you set up a regular schedule with iCal?

I use the regular calendar for events and birthdays and wanted to set up a regular schedule of things I do on a daily basis that I need to tick off when completed. The To Do list doesn't appear to be suitable as I would need to add everything back on every morning. Some tasks need completing weekly and some monthly - is there anything like this available within iCal or elsewhere on the iMac where tasks get added automatically once set up and I can tick off when complete? Thanks.

MenusEverywhere was too twitchy ... needed to be shutdown after 2 hours sometimes and restarted.  Was not going to pay even $10 (roughly).  Others were not worth my time to try, ad trying to track all of the "menu bars" is too much hassle and losing even 1 more display line on the external was bothersome.
Ramp up your RAM if you want multiple VM large-memory applications.  everymac.com wil guide you to your machine by year or identifier (or ...) and tell the max RAM.
As to "multiple program instances" outside of VM, depends on the application if there can be independent windows,
I do not use Adobe CS so I cannot help more than this.
I apologize if I wasted your time.

  • Can you set the type of alert in iCal on the iPad?

    I have an iPad (1st generation) with the latest iOS5. I love the new iOS and especially the way that iCloud makes things more seamless between my devices. I do have an issue with iCal, however. When I set an event in iCal in OSX, I can set the alert to be a message, message with sound, email, etc. By default, if I set an event in iCal on my iPad the alert is a message. I can find no way to change this. If there is a way, please tell me.
    Because of this, I never use iCal on iPad to set alerts because I like to use message with sound. This greatly reduces the functionality of iCal on iPad because, for me, it can only be used as a calendar event viewer. Any help would be appreciated. Note: I have contacted apple feedback about this issue.
    In a related, but less important issue, I find that the settings for the timing of the alert are very limited in iCal on iPad. On iCal in OSX one can set the alert time for either the time of the event, or pretty much any amount of time prior to the event. On the iPad, iCal will only let you set it to the day of the event, 1 or 2 days before, or 1 week before the event. A limitation, but not crippling. However, if anyone knows how to set the timing of the event on iPad's iCal with more specificity I would really like to know.
    Thanks!

    Under Settings, Sounds, you can set an alert sound for calendar events.
    For timed events, you can set the alert for a range of times from 5 minutes before upwards (e.g.15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour). For all-day events, the range is as you described.
    You can set the alert for each event as you create it (or edit it later)
    You can set default alerts for all-day event,s timed events, and birthdays (i.e. different defaults for each type) in Settings, Mail, Contacts and Calendar, default Alerts.
    Does that help?

  • Can you set a second "Open with:" application for a file?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if something like this exists for OS X Lion or greater: you can set a default application to open a type of file, say Safari for all .html files, but can you set a second default application for a file?
    I usually open files using command + o or command + down arrow from the Finder and I've often thought how good it would be to hit an alternate keyboard shortcut to open the selected file in a secondary default application.
    For example, if I'm making a web page and have the .html selected in the finder I can hit command + o (or command + down arrow) to open it in Safari and if the file isn't open in my editor and is selected in the Finder I can hit, say command + option + o (or command + option + down arrow) to open the .html file in my editor.
    Does anyone know if this can be achieved in OS X Lion or greater?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi all,
    If anyone's interested in a partial solution, I've rigged up the following.
    I ended up using an Automator action coupled with Spark to capture a keyboard key combination. Spark: http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark
    I've used Spark before with good results, and although it's from 2008 it still works on Lion.
    I created an Automator action that does two things:
    gets the selected Finder items
    opens finder items in the text editor I'm using.
    I then saved the workflow as an application so that Spark could run it.
    I've set up a keyboard shortcut that Spark picks up and calls my Automator workflow. It all seems to work nicely.
    So, I've created a specific "open selected file with <text editor>" keyboard shortcut that should do for the time being.

    Hi eddinchina,
    You should have no need to use the Old Sync account.
    As long as device or devices are Firefox 29 or later (They should all be Firefox 30 now) you should use the New Sync.
    You may use the same email address with both accounts.

  • I have 2 ipod touches on the same apple id account.  Can I set facertime up on both with different access emails?

    I have 2 ipod touches on the same apple ID/account.  My daughter uses one, and I use the other.  Can I set facetime up on each with different access email addresses (so that we don't get each others calls?)?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.    
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
    Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

    can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

    No, you can only connect to one Home Sharing account at a time. If you want to see the content of the other Mac's library you will have to turn off Home Sharing on the Apple TV and log back in with the other iTunes account.

  • HT1677 Where can you set default in Safari to view as web page instead of Mobile Version?

    Where can you set the default setting in Safari to open page as web page instead of Mobile Version on iPad running iOS6.01?

    And, to make it even more fun, sometimes a website changes how it deals with Safari Mobile. A website that treated it like a desktop browser suddenly starts treating it like a cell phone. Just to mess with you. Or push an app.
    Best of luck.

  • Can you set a project wide time limit?

    I know that you can set a time limit for each question, can you set a time limit for the entire project?

    That variable has really no sense. First of all, you have to create it and it will just be toggled when time is over. I think it is just taken over from the former Timer widget (Timer widget... to stress your learners - Captivate blog) where it had sense, because it didn't have the same functionality of jumping to a slide when time was over. Beware: the timing is not very accurate, it will start with a delay of about 1 second if you put it on the first slide (display for rest of project), and when time is over the message (you cannot escape from it) will display for 2 seconds. Had planned to blog about Timing/Hourglass interactions, but have too many plans that I didn't realize.

  • How can you set the max row for a 'open cursor' in a stored proc?

    I would like to know how can you set the maximum amount of row returned in a resultset coming from a stored proc?
    You can do it via JDBC with cStatement.setMaxRows(10); but it works only for select that you do via JDBC...
    I would like the same functionality using open cursor inside a stored proc...
    Thanks...

    is "where ROWNUM <= 10" the equivalent of "cStatement.setMaxRows(10);" because the ROWNUM as problem with the ORDER BY clause and the setMaxRows() as no problem...
