Create Calendar Event? (e.g. Birthday etc...) without showing on Month view
Calendar works great love the new look, One gripe.
I have a number of "All Day Events" in Outlook / on my Z10 like birthdays Anniversary's etc...
They are currently setup as All Day Events and my time shows Free under them, so no problem with conflicting events.
I use the month view as default to get a very quick overview of my week.
If I have a trade show to attend, its usually apparent by the solid line that would take up the whole day instead of just an hour or two event.
The problem is that Birthday's and such show up the same way (solid line for the whole day)
Last week there was a few birthdays and one show, although I can't tell the difference between them on the Calendar.
Is there a way to setup the calendar or my events differently so that the All day events that I show as free time are in a different colour (like grey when there is an all day event and actual meetings. then it shows different)
Should I be adding these types of events or reminders of birthdays etc.. differently in outlook / on the phone...
any help would be great.
What about an icon on the month view (like the +2 icon on the week / day view) that lets you know you have an all day event reminder on that day, but not showing the line for the whole day.
Any thoughts on how to get around this?
This is becoming a monologue. I gave PathFinder a try. I like it a lot. In fact, it is even more powerful in terms of file browsing compared to RAGE Mac Explorer. In particular I get much more detailed "GetInfo" info from PathFinder. It basically returns metadata similar to Preview Info. And you can get these (e.g. sampling rate) from: 1) last Preview column in Column view, 2) GetInfo, 3) Inspector-like permanent preview pane at the bottom of List view, and 4) File Report. You can also show a short "preview" string for each file in List view (similar to the string shown in Finder's icon view).
But... I still can't find a way to add metadata I care about to columns in PathFinder, the way you can in Windows Explorer.
So, I figure my last resort is to create some folder automation to gather info about each file according to its file type, and modify Spotlight Comment for each file. At least in the Finder I can show the Comment field. But oddly, neither PathFinder nor RAGE Mac Explorer lets me show the Comment field.
Sigh.

PALM Z22 HOW TO CREATE CALENDAR EVENTS THEN UPLOAD THEM TO THE PALM Z22
Hello, I would like to know if anyone can advise me on how to create calendar events in say, excel, and then upload them to my Palm Z22. The reason I want to create them in excel is so that I can also update the file information to my cell phone as well.
Thanks for your assistance.....
Tony
Post relates to: Palm Z22Hello Tony,
If you want to use Excel, then I would suggest that you export your calendar spreadsheet as a comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that data into the Calendar application in Palm Desktop. Then Hotsync your Palm.

Is there a way to keep the time for an event on the left of the box in month view?
For example, when I type in "5:00 PM Basketball Game," iCal automatically changes the event to "Basketball Game." I only use month view so that wasn't helpful for me. I only recently discovered the "show event times" option in preferences so now the time shows up in month view, but on the right in faded text. Is there anything I can do in Terminal to keep it from automatically changing it? I'm old-fashioned I guess.
I realize it's nitpicky but I'd appreciate a solution. Thanks!I should note that the time stays on the left of the event name when I re-enter the text (which I had to do all the time before I found the "show event times" button) so I feel like there's a way.

Control how much of an event shows in Month view
How do you control how much of the body text of an event shows in month view? Sometimes it only shows part, and I want it to show more.
Hi Erich,
You can call a method of another Controller directly this way:
sap.ui.controller("namespace.Controllername").method();
Another, and more decoupled, option would be to use eventing and sap.ui.core.EventBus. You can find more info on this SCN thread:

How can I automatically create calendar events using text from a Pages document?
Hello,
I'm looking for a way that I can automatically have calendar events created, by extracting dates and times from a table within a Pages document I have saved on my Mac.
Currently, I record my working hours/dates on a Pages document in table format, so that I can record and ensure I receive payment for all hours I work.
After finding out which shifts I have for the week, I insert the day, date, start time and end time (for each shift), into a table within a Pages document.
I'm wondering if there is any way - such as through Automator, Apple Scripts, etc. - that I can then have the Calendar app automatically create events from that data - including the date, start and end times for each shift?
Also, if possible, is there a way to set each event to automatically alert me at a chosen time (1 day, 2 days, etc.) beforehand?
Here is an example of the layout of my document table:
Date

If anyone can help with this question, that would be greatly appreaciated, as then I could have my calendar automatically create and sync my work shifts across to my iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Thanks in advance,
John.I totally agree with you.
Where are the fixes for a long string of bugs, glitches and user issues?
Looking at the list of new "features" for the next OSX, Maverick (what a dumb name!), all I am seeing is Apple ripping off other peoples' ideas, something it swinges others mercilessly for.
There is not one thing in Maverick that I don't already have, only more so, with 3rd party add-ons.
Apple seems bereft of ideas now and I am totally mystified what it is doing with all that money and employees it has accumulated.

Can't create Calendar Event from Mail on my iPad anymore
I no longer can create a new iPad Calendar Event from tapping on a date in email I receive. The new Event dialog box will still appear when I click on the date in an email, but the dialog box is now too small and off-center, hiding the Done button in the upper right corner of the Dialog. Without the Done button, I can't create the new Calendar Event. I can't resize the dialog box, or re-center it.
Is this a common problem after the latest iOS update? Can anyone help? Thanks.This still works for me in iOS 6.1.3
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off" -
Using AppleScript To Pull Data From Number & Create Calendar Events
Today I tried running an AppleScript that I created a few years back that works with Number ’09 [version 2.3 (554)]. The script collects information from the active numbers table and creats an event in my calendar for each row of data in the table. For some reason its not working with the current version of number.
Here is the script:
on run
set cr to ASCII character 13
set newline to return
local dName, sName, tName, rowCount, workingCalendar, maintenanceType
-- get general document information like document name, active sheet name, active table name & the number of rows in the active sheet
set {dName, sName, tName, rowCount} to my get_document_information()
-- get information needed to update a calendar in the calendar application like the calendar that needs to be updated and the type of maintenance that will be completed
set {workingCalendar, maintenanceType} to my get_calendar_update_information()
-- update calendar maintenance type so the computer can say it
if maintenanceType = "add" then
set maintenanceTypeChanged to maintenanceType & "ed"
set lastpartofsentence to "to calendar"
else if maintenanceType = "update" then
set maintenanceTypeChanged to maintenanceType & "d"
set lastpartofsentence to "in calendar"
else if maintenanceType = "delete" then
set maintenanceTypeChanged to maintenanceType & "d"
set lastpartofsentence to "from calendar"
end if
say "Events will be" & maintenanceTypeChanged & lastpartofsentence & workingCalendar
--determine if calendar already exists. If it does not create it
tell application "Calendar"
set allCalendarTitles to the title of every calendar
if allCalendarTitles contains workingCalendar then
--do nothing
else
create calendar with name workingCalendar
end if
end tell
set timedifferance to 4
-- get event information for each row in active table
say "table name is " & tName
repeat with rownumber from 1 to rowCount
tell application "Numbers" to tell row rownumber of tName to set {cell04, cell05, cell06, cell07, cell08, cell09, cell10} to {value of cell 4, value of cell 5, value of cell 6, value of cell 7, value of cell 8, value of cell 9, value of cell 10}
set cell07 to SearchReplace(cell07, "|", newline)
tell application "Calendar"
activate
if maintenanceType = "Delete" then
tell calendar workingCalendar to delete (first event whose summary contains cell04 and start date is equal to (cell05 + (timedifferance * hours)))
end if
if maintenanceType = "Update" then
tell calendar workingCalendar to delete (first event whose summary contains cell04 and start date is equal to (cell05 + (timedifferance * hours)))
tell calendar workingCalendar to set test to make new event at the beginning of events with properties {start date:cell05 + (timedifferance * hours), end date:cell06 + (timedifferance * hours), description:cell07, summary:cell04, location:cell10}
end if
if maintenanceType = "Add" then
tell calendar workingCalendar to set test to make new event at the beginning of events with properties {start date:cell05 + (timedifferance * hours), end date:cell06 + (timedifferance * hours), description:cell07, summary:cell04, location:cell10}
end if
end tell
end repeat
say "Events have been " & maintenanceTypeChanged
end run
on get_document_information()
-- Get general document information for later use
local d_name, s_name, selectedTable, t_name, row_count
tell application "Numbers" to tell document 1
-- get document name
set d_name to name
-- get sheet name
set s_name to name of active sheet
-- get table name
tell active sheet
set the selectedTable to (the first table whose class of selection range is range)
end tell
tell selectedTable
set t_name to name
set row_count to row count
end tell
return {d_name, s_name, t_name, row_count}
end tell
end get_document_information
on get_calendar_update_information()
local strCalendarToWorkWith, strMaintenanceType
tell application "Numbers"
activate
tell document 1 to tell sheet "General Information" to tell table "Table 1"
copy value of cell "C9" to strCalenderToWorkWith
copy value of cell "C12" to strMaintenanceType
end tell
return {strCalenderToWorkWith, strMaintenanceType}
end tell
end get_calendar_update_information
on SearchReplace(sourceStr, searchString, replaceString)

set theList to (every text item of sourceStr)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to (replaceString)
set theString to theList as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to saveDelims
return theString
end SearchReplace
When running the script in the current version of Numbers [version 3.2 (1861)] I receive the following error message:
Here is what the table looks like:
Can anyone help me correct this error/issue?
Thank you,
BrianThe error ocurs right after it speaks the table name? The error is highlighting the suspect line in the first screenshot.
I think the "T" in the error is coming from the Table name, so try replacing the line in question with this mess
tell application "Numbers"
tell document 1
tell active sheet
tell table tName
set {cell04, cell05, cell06, cell07, cell08, cell09, cell10} to {value of cell 4, value of cell 5, value of cell 6, value of cell 7, value of cell 8, value of cell 9, value of cell 10}
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
NB original was
tell application "Numbers" to tell row rownumber of tName to set {cell04, cell05,cell06, cell07, cell08, cell09, cell10} to {value of cell 4, value of cell5, value of cell 6, value of cell 7, value of cell 8, value of cell 9,value of cell 10}
I don't know Numbers & Applescripting so you'll probably need to work on it some more, I gleaned the 'tell document & tell active sheet, tell table' from the script near the bottom.
http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/iwork/numbers/table-populate.html
It's a little unclear to me where the 'get document' info comes from, since you are not telling Numbers within that part. -
I use a website to send emails to myself. It already sorta creates the calendar event but requires a lot of editing. The link-back to the email makes it super easy to just go to the original. But I'm wondering if there's a specific format I can put the emails so that when creating the calendar event, it just has all the information, instead of parts of it?
Please don't respond with useless comments. I've already addressed the fact that my screen was broken a few months ago. My phone may or may not be broken beyond repair either way, as I said before I can't afford a new phone. It's a strange problem because from what I can tell no one else has posted the same problem anywhere I can find. Don't be a dickhole.

Create Calendar event from Mail on iPad Mini in landscape
I have an iPad Mini. While in landscape and creating a new calendar event from the body of an email (by selecting the date in the body) I'm unable to get the entire (it is truncated) screen allowing me to set the date and time of the event. It doesn't show the Done button in the upper right.
This works fine on my other devices (iPad and iPhone) in landscape, and also works fine on the iPad Mini in portrait, but it does not work in landscape.
Does anyone else have this problem?This still works for me in iOS 6.1.3

What is Travel Time when creating calendar event
When creating a new calendar event there is a new option for Travel Time to be on or off...what does this do?
Run http://filepropertiestask.codeplex.com task to get the file creation date and if older delete it or a Script Task that uses the .Net FileInfo
CreratedDate method to find it Then you can use
Precedence Constraints to either skip the file deletion or not.

Cant add addresses with Floor/Apartment numbers when creating Calendar Events in Yosemite
When you create an event in Calendar, there's a field for adding the event address. Previously, when you tried to add an address like Level 2, 23 Sample Street, Melbourne, Calendar would prompt you with the nearest address that it found in Apple Maps. If you clicked the selection, it would add a Map to your event. If you didn't, or simply hit escape, it did nothing.
Now in Yosemite, the Calendar completely ignores your choice and automatically replaces your address with the address it thinks is correct. So for example, if you type in an address like Level 2, 23 Sample Street, Melbourne and it finds the street address within Apple maps, it simply replaces your address with 23 Sample Street, Melbourne, completely removing the Level or Apartment number that you typed in as part of the address.
The only way I've found around this is to completely mangle the address by typing something like Level 2 - 23 Sample Street - Melbourne, which is obviously completely annoying and unsatisfactory.
If anyone has another suggestion or a way to fix this, I'd love to hear.
Cheers,
Anthony.

Creating calendar events using gmail
Using gmail from the 8900, is there a way to create a calendar event and invite other attendees as well as accept meetings sent from other users on Outlook?
If this feature is available, I don't see it.
No.
If it isn't available, well, why not?
This is a user to user help forum only for technical support issues and questions, and it is doubtful that any fellow users know why not.

Why do my calendar events get deleted from my iphone while I'm viewing the calendar?
I my work schedule in the calendar on my iPhone4S (iOS 5.0.1) earlier today. While trying to review when I work, I saw all 5 calendar events get deleted. There are no longer any events on the days that I added work to my calendar. Anyone else experience this and know how to fix it or recover the events? This is the second time my work schedule has been deleted right in front of my face on my phone.
This happens to me INCESSANTLY. I'm looking at my calendar events one second, and POOF!, the next second all of the events I've entered into the calendar- with the exception of birthdays that are on the actual contact information for a person- are GONE. My calendar settings are set to sync all events- no timeframe- and always have been. This happened to me nonstop on my old iPhone 3GS, and I was sure it was the phone causing this issue. Now, I have my new iPhone 5 in my hands and same ol' , different equipment. I have done EVERYTHING I can think of to prevent this from happening or to restore the data- including rebooting, holding home button and on/off at same time, etc.- and NOTHING works to restore the data. And then, just as magically as the data disappeared, POOF!- the data is back randomly sometime later. That "later" may be 5 mins, a day, several days. This is an absurd and EXASPERATING glitch that APPLE NEEDS TO FIX IMMEDIATELY!!! I'm starting to hate the iPhone and Apple in general when I continuously experience HUGE glitches like this that have a profound impact on what you're trying to accomplish within a feature that you DEPEND on... yet Apple has "never heard of that problem before". You suck, Apple. Don't send your problems out into the real world, to users who just gave you $800 for another glitchy piece of equipment that never solves your software issues.

IOS 5.0 Calendar without dots on month view
I updated my iPod touch to the new 5.0 iOS, but the month view of calendar is now without the little dots on days with some event.
So I have to tap day by day to check if there are events, or I have to use the week view or the day view, but not so convenient.
Looks like I have no event for all the month.See Here Updating to iOS 5 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
