Cannot set view time in Calendar via Applescript

I use the AppleScript below in an application to capture the weekly calendar view. I would swear, under an OS release before 10.9.5, this would cause the the Calendar view to be set with the top line at 7am of the current day. Now, the Calendar view ignores the time setting. Can anyone suggest whether this is a bug and/or provide a workaround?
TIA
set daytoshow to (current date)
set the time of daytoshow to 60 * 60 * 7
tell application "Calendar"
activate
view calendar at daytoshow
switch view to week view
set the visible of the first window to true
end tell

Suddenly today I am unable to view my Google Calendar via Firefox. But I can view it with Internet Explorer. What gives?

Suddenly today I am unable to view my Google Calendar via Firefox. But I can view it with Internet Explorer. What gives?

I have tried deleting all cookies and cache several times, but nothing works. I can open Google calendar but when I click on any entry I just get a blank box. If I try to make a new event entry nothing happens. Everything works fine in Internet Explorer.
I am really getting tired of constant problems with Firefox. Every week I have something that doesn't work. One time it's downloading videos, the next week music or email, now Google calendar. I am about ready to give up Firefox forever.

Cannot set date& time and only computer and settings icons are showing

I am having difficulty with my appletv(MC572LL/A). It will not set the time & date after it downloaded the last update. It just stalls saying "setting date and time". I have reset the system and even re-installed the latest update to the unit but get the same results. Any suggestions?

Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Also try restarting the router.
If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If this is a new Apple TV, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

View a MobileMe calendar via the web

I'd like to see my wife's MM calendar using Safari. I don't want to sync it to my computer or anything like that. If I type "me.com" in the address bar, I get a splash screen instructing me to set up MM on my iPhone, instead of the MM login page. The implication is that all interaction with MM should be done via syncing. But I have my own MM account, and I don't want to sync anything from my wife's account. I tried using the Atomic Web browser, spoofing it as desktop Safari, but none of the features of the MM calendar worked. Perhaps Atomic Web doesn't support the fancy JavaScript that MM evidently uses.
Any ideas on how to view someone else's MM calendar from the iPhone, given that they've given you permission and the MM password?

HT5706 I have not used my apple tv in a few years, and just got it out of the bag. I connected it up, and it cannot set date, time. it also does not interact with the remote. Could it be as simple as a new batter is needed for remote?

I have not used my Apple TV in a few years, and just got it out of the bag to use on a new TV. I connected it up to power and with an HDMI cable toTV. It attempts to set date and time and cannot. I cannot get the remote to interact with the box also. Could it be something as simple as needing a new battery?

Hi kybriar,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps you can take to troubleshoot the remote itself:

Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionshttp://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
Ensure that Apple TV is within range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
Make sure other devices (computers, iPhone, iPad, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Check your Wi-Fi network settings on Apple TV:
Select Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi and press the center button on the remote to display nearby networks.
Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
If your Wi-Fi network uses a password, make sure you are entering it correctly.
Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
Try restarting your Wi-Fi router or modem by turning it off and then on again.
If possible, connect an Ethernet cable and verify your Internet connection. If you can connect to the Internet using an Ethernet connection, verify that your Apple TV is using the latest software by selecting Settings > General > Software Update. If your Apple TV can be updated, install the update and then try the steps again.

Setting "Date Received" sort order via Applescript?

For my 86-year-old Mom, I want to create an applescript that will always ensure upon launch that her Apple Mail's inbox is always the selected mailbox, and that the sort order is set to Date Received with the newest email at the top. (I'm assuming that would be Descending?) She keeps clicking on the column heads by accident which messes up the inbox's sort order -- and then she doesn't know what to do to correct it. (Well, I've shown her, but her memory isn't such that she can remember it tomorrow after drilling her on it today.)
I found a way to make sure the sort order is by "Date Received" but I haven't been able to determine if I can ensure the sort order or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dimaxum,
Thanks for your thoughts and the link. I've been there and boy, if there's a solution in there I haven't found it yet! Lots to look at.
I would love to be able to freeze the UI settings in Mail and prevent Mom from messing up the sort order. Haven't figured out how to do that or even if it's possible. Short of that I'm thinking that running an Applescript to correct anything that might have been changed last time she was in the Mail application is the best I can do. I have the Applescript set to run at login, and it takes care of launching Mail when she boots up her computer. I also need to reset the position of the mail window on her screen and the size of the window and whether or not the preview pane is showing. If she accidentally resizes her window, or gets it off the screen, or loses the preview pane -- she's totally lost.
I've found Applescript examples that let me perform a menu action, but there's nothing to check the state of "toggle" items -- for example, command-1 both closes and opens the Activity window. I'd like for it to only make sure that Activity window is open. Mom keeps closing it and then she wonders where it went.
I could do all this stuff "back in the day" with QuicKeys. I'm thinking I should be able to do it with Applescript -- but I've never found Applescript (or automator) to be as understandable and usable as the old QuicKeys was. I do OK with Applescript as long as I can find an example -- but coming up with syntax and stuff like that out of the blue requires more experience with it than I'll ever have.
I just looked up the price for QuicKeys. $60 -- wow, I'd love to have it again but that's just too pricey for this single application.
Any more ideas or pointers, anyone??

Time Capsule flashes amber (slow) and not being picked up by Airport Utility; cannot set up Time Capsule

Airport Time Capsule purchased in Canada, trying to set up in home in Mexico. Connected to isp via ethernet cable, tried resets and power off/on on both TC and isp modem. TC flashes amber (slow), and is not picked up by Airport Utility on Macbook or iPad. Do I have a faulty TC that has to be returned? Wireless signal from provider is strong and reliable for last 5 yrs. Please help

Got it figured :-) Unable to pick up TC via Airport Utility on MacBook Pro or iPad. Used iPad via Settings-WiFi to pick up TC and enter edit functions. Once WAN deselected, Bridge selected, DHCP selected got the steady green light on the TC. Airport utility now picks up the TC no problem on both iPad and Macbook. System now fully operational.

Cannot set up Time Machine because Airport Utility cannot find it. What do I do now?

Sorry, I meant to say Airport Utility cannot find Time Capsule. The TC is not listed as an available drive in the TM setings panel. Trying to set up a MBP. iMac TM settings panel lists TC but if I search for it from either machine, iMac or MBP it is not found. Repeated rescanning doesn't find it. Also trid Airport Utility from iPad and iPhone, still not found. When I first purchased it I set it all up so I have logged into it before. That was a couple of months ago, now I've got around to setting up TM I can't access it. It is continuing to provide my wireless network though.

OK, turned off all devices, pulled the plug out of the TC, waited then plugged back in. Started everything up again and Airport Utility can now find the TC.
Thanks to you both for trying to help. Next time I'll try this first but it didn't seem like a very elegant Apple solution to the problem.

Why can't we "set visuals enabled" of iTunes via AppleScript anymore?

You used to be able to set visuals enabled of iTunes to true or false. But the current version of Leopard and iTunes prohibit this.
Thus if you do:
tell application "iTunes"
set visuals enabled to true
end tell
you get the error:
AppleScript Error
iTunes got an error: Can’t set visuals enabled to true.
Is this a bug?

Your code of ...
tell application "iTunes" to set visuals enabled to true
... works, as expected, on a PowerPC G4 PowerMac, running Tiger (MacOS X 10.4.11), with iTunes v. 7.0.1.
Your code presents the AppleScript error message of ...
'iTunes got an error: Can’t set visuals enabled to true.'
... on an Intel based MacMini, running Tiger (MacOS X 10.4.11), with iTunes v. 7.5; and, and an Intel based MacBook, running 'Leopard'* (MacOS X 10.5.2), with iTunes v. 7.4.2, respectively.

Cannot enter event time in Calendar 6.0

I recently updgraded to Mountain Lion, and when I try to enter a new event into Calendar (by double clicking on day, week or month and unchecking all day option), there is no option to enter the specific event time.
Also, Calendar is randomnly changing the time of events of synced google calendar events to 19:45.
Anyone else experience this problem. Suggestions as how to fix these two problems would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I am having the same darn problem. I really dislike this auto feature in Calendar.
Can anyone help us please?

ICal: Publish calendar via AppleScript?

Does anyone know if it's possible to publish a certain calendar in iCal by using AppleScript? (Without, it's no problem...)
I have tried all the [to me] obvious things, but can't figure it out. There are no suitable functions listed in the Applescript menu.
Any suggestions welcome...

Hi Roger,
you are right, I didn't know there was this possibility.
Thank you very much for you help.

Cannot set spindown time for SATA disk

Hi
I am trying to set the spindown time of my 2nd disk using sdparm --set "SCT=100" /dev/sdb but I get this error message:
/dev/sdb: ATA WDC WD1200JS-00M 02.0
change_mode_page: failed fetching page: Power condition
Any ideas please please? I couldn't find anything relevant by searching.
Thanks in advance!

I use hdparm -S60 /dev/sda
I leave one of my drives on spindown after an inactivity timeout, like above. I dont use the drive an awful lot, and its makes much more noise
Hmm, I don't get any error messages with that command but the disk will not spindown. I guess its either the disk itself that will not take a spindown time or some setup somewhere is wrong. Still, "sdparm -C stop /dev/sda" works though.
Must learn to live with that extra noise...

Set Time Interval with custom fields in generic list with view(SPViewCollection.SPViewType.Calendar)

I need to set time interval range with custom date fields in sharepoint view SPViewCollection.SPViewType.Calendar. How to do that?
My code is this:
System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection viewFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection();
viewFields.Add("FechaInicio");
viewFields.Add("FechaFin");
string query = @"<Query>
<Where>
<DateRangesOverlap>
<FieldRef Name=""FechaInicio"" />
<FieldRef Name=""FechaFin"" />
<FieldRef Name=""RecurrenceID"" />
<Value Type=""DateTime"">
<Week />
</Value>
</DateRangesOverlap>
</Where>
</Query>";
SPView newView = reserva.Views.Add("CalendarView", viewFields, query, 0, true, true, SPViewCollection.SPViewType.Calendar, false);
"FechaInicio" and "FechaFinal" ara datetime fields in my generic list.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to see the calendar view begin and end time for the time interval.
We can use the SharePoint Manager to view the internal name for the begin and end time for the time interval.
Open SharePoint Manager 2013->click your site->click
Lists->select your list name->click Views->select your calendar view name->click the
Schema Xml to check the internal name for the time interval begin and end.
We can download the SharePoint Manager in here:

I have the mobile gallery with an album of photos to be shown as a slide show. I cannot find how to Chang the viewing time. I'd like it to be 10 seconds. How do I do it. I have tried changing the general set tins in photo and pictue frame, but that doesn'

How do I set different viewing times for the mobile gallery.
I' like to change it from about 3 seconds to10 seconds.

I hope this is something that will be corrected in the next vision of either theoperrating system, or in the gallery. three seconds is way too short for showing pictures to friend while telling abut them. Even apple's screen savers ware slower between the transitions.
I'll do a search ontne store for an app. Do you think I should search for a different photo display, or for something that allows one to change settings on the current gallery app?
thanks
