Create quick event

iCal doesn't seem to be working very well with Lion!
When I try and add a quick event, I type in the event, it then opens the edit form, which defaults to today's date and as an all-day event. When I go to change the event to the appropriate day, and the appropriate time, and set the calendar, and then click on done, it adds the event to today's date and makes it all day again!! This is doing this consistently. The only way I can seem to get it to the right day is to drag the event to the correct day (almost impossible if it is for months from now) and then re-edit it and put in the correct times again!
I have to say Lion is probably one of the buggiest OS upgrades that I have been through, and I have been using Macs for 25 years!!

I don't know that it can be turned off, and I don't even use Apple's Calendar much (as a BusyCal user), but you might find it's useful if you learn to use it as intended. That box is pretty smart if you mention the date and location in the box before hitting enter.
Just type the date, time, and place in that "title" box:
"Birthday party Friday 8:00 PM at Joe's Place"
That pops up an event with a start date of the next Friday (e.g., 10/05/2012 today in the US), start time of 8:00 PM, and "Joe's Place" in the location. It strips out the date and time before creating the event title that it pops up; it leaves the location in the title, but the title comes up selected so you can edit it before confirming the event with the "Done" button.
The event is entered in the default calendar, but you can select any calendar by holding down the "+" button a second or two. There may be a way to do it with the menu or the keyboard command-n shortcut, but I haven't found it; you can select another calendar on the popup before hitting the "Done" button.

Issues create quick events with GMT timezone in Calendar.

Hi All,
I have the following issue. I live The Netherlands but for my work I work with the UK. As they are in GMT and I am in CET I regularly create an event with GMT time in mind.
I also use Quick Events a lot. So I click on create quick event and I a type i.e. blah blah 9PM GMT. So far so good. So in this case 9PM GMT is 10PM CET.
However and I am not sure of this, but pretty sure, after the move to summertime the GMT moves two hours ahead. So the event at 9PM GMT now shows as 11PM CET.
Is anybody else having this issue?

Thank for your input. I, however, can't totally agree
your opinions.They're not opinions. They're facts, backed partially by the code I already posted, and more by code I've been dealing with for a couple of years.
Although I can parse the date & time data by using
the dateFormat as what you describe, I believe one
Java API class shall take care it.I don't know what you mean by this, but Calendar is not the appropriate class here.
The reason I want to preserve the user's time zone is
for user respective. I can ingore the time zone and
present the date data with the server machine time
zone configuration. This approach is not good for a
user. Some in Europe, for example, wouldn't want to
the time in the Pacific time zone format.You're not understanding what I'm saying.
The user tells you his TZ. He has to at some point, else you can't support TZ-specific input and display. You save that with the user profile, not with each date.
So I register with your site, and I tell you my TZ is GMT-8 (US/Los Angeles).
Later, you want to record what time something happens. You only need to look at what time it is on the server. You store that Timestamp. When it's time to display that to me--like to display the time I posted a message--you get the timestamp from the DB, and then you format it with a DateFormat whose TZ has been set to "US/Los Angeles" or "PST" or something. It will be displayed correctly.
If you want to ask me what time something happened, and you're assuming I'll be entering it in my local time, then you take the string I provide--say "2006-04-09 11:04"--then you parse that with a DF that has its TZ set to "PST" or whatever. What you save to the DB is a Timestamp created from the Date you got from the parse().
By storing a Date or Timestamp, you're not losing TZ information. You're storing the point in time at which something happened, later, when you're ready to display that, you convert that point in time to the relevant TZ. No information is lost.

Create quick event fails to recognize date and time

When I use "Create Quick Event" and enter "June 29 9am debate", iCal creates an event today, now, named "June 29 9am debate". I have tried different variations like "29th of June at 9am" etc. but all failed - I always get an event today, now.
I am pretty sure Create Quick Event used to extract date and time from the box: it created an event named "Debate" on the date of June 29, starting at 9am, lasting one hour - what could be the reason it doesn't work any longer? And more importantly, how could I get back the old behavior?
Thanks!

It is not prerly connected to the network
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be set to auto (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try ethernet
Ensure rputer has port 123 open (refer to manual if unsure)

"Create Quick Event" in Calendar - specify location

I'm adding a list of events from a spreadsheet into Calendar. I can copy the spreadsheet text then paste it into "Create Quick Event" in Calendar, which does a pretty good job of guessing what I'm talking about.
The problem I have is that it seems to be impossible to get the location to be specified - meaning I'll have to go into each event and manually edit Each attempt (see below) results in the locations text being added onto the Event's title.
I've tried:
In X
At X
Location X
Location: X
(X)
(X, followed by the postcode/ZIP code)
Thanks !

Is it possible to create floating events on the iPad iCal?

iPad's ical recognizes floating events transferred from a desktop, but it does not allow create floating events on the iPad iCal.
The only way is to create those events in the default time zone calendar, which is very confusing,

This might work. Create a whole lot of floating events in iCal on your laptop / desktop and put them at the end of your day. You can do this quickly by creating one event in iCal that is floating and then copying it. You do that by dragging the event with your finger on the Option Key. This gives you floating events in your iCal which you are not using yet. Then when you want to use your iPad just drag one of these events from the end of the day to where you want it and use it.
It should work. I tested it just now on my iPad and laptop and it worked perfectly. I use Lion as an operating system. I don't know for Leopard. I use a weekly view. On Lion you cannot drag from the end of one week into the next. This has been corrected in Lion. I use ONLY floating events as I travel a LOT. It is the best way for me.
For creating floating events on my laptop I don't create new events, I always copy an existing event. This way all new events are automatically floating. It took a little while to get used to it. Now it is second nature to me. Since many events are the same as past events, it also saves time not typing in the event details.
For example I might schedule playing badminton at irregular times in a week. I simply create one event and then drag a copy to the new event's locaiton. It is already floating and named correctly. Otherwise I drag a different event and just rename it.
This does not work on the iPhone / iPad / iPod as you cannot copy events. That is why you need to create extra floating events on your laptop at the end of the day so that you can drag them down when you want to use them.

Not able to create an event in month view of iCal?

I used to be able to create an event from the month vien of iCal, and it doesn't work anymore. Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks

So sorry to not have a solution but I wanted to chime in and say "me, too!". Not only create an event, but I can't edit it in month view, either. I thought it was my entire iCal program, since I just upgraded to Lion today, but after reading your post I realize I can edit events in week mode, just not month mode.

Error while creating a Event in Table maintanence gen

Hi,
I've created a table maintanence gen every thing worked fine...i wanted to create a event 05 at new entries in my table main gen so i did it and wrote a subroutine inside it without any logic since i thougt of doing it later and just saved it and came out out the event creation......Now when i want to go to same even the its pops up a Information error which says 'Function group zxyz cannot be processed.' I cant open any thing from the main menu of the screen...like from environment or from utilities...for every thing it pops up the same message....is it bcoz of the event which i've just created......if i still want to delete it...its not allowing me to go into the event again..how to do it guys...suggest me
Thanking you.........

Hi Younus,
Check whether the function group u created is ACTIVE or not.
Go to se80. Give the FG name.. check it. Check all the includes in the Function Group whether they are ACTIVE or not.
Try checking the Package in the TABLE MAINTANCE GENERATOR screen. Assign the Function Group to the correct package.
I think this solves the issue.
check the FG name in display mode in the TMG.

Priyanka.

How do I create an Event Handler for an Execute SQL Task in SSIS if its result set is empty

So the precedence on my entire package executing is based on my first SELECT of my Table and an updatable column. If that SELECT results in an empty result set, how do I create an Event Handler to handle an empty result set?
A Newbie to SSIS.
I appreciate your review and am hopeful for a reply.
PSULionRP

Depends upon what you want to do in the eventhandler. this is what you can do
Store the result set from the Select to a user variable.
Pass this user variable to a Script task.
In the Script task do whatever you want to do including failing the package this can be done by failing the script task, which in turns fails the package. something like
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure

Right now i received message "APO Background Processing Event" is doesn't exists.
Thanks in Advance.
Puneet.

Hi Puneet,
Goto transaction SM62 and in there to BckProcEvents tab. There you can create the events.
You just need to specify the name and Description of an event.
Hope this serves your purpose.
Thanks

Creating Business event in training and event management

Hi Gurus!!!,
can you please instruct me the steps involved in creating business events in Training and Event Management.(HR Module)
Thanks and regards,
Prosper

Hi Prosper,
You need to configure lot of settings, prior to Business Event, because one BE is based on various elements like Location, Attendee type, Instructor, Fees, Resources, Time Schedule, Services, BE type, BE Group.
After configuring all these for BE type, you need to create a BE for the BE type. Then, you can go for day to day activities like Booking, Pre Booking, Cancellation.
I hope, this link will help you

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!
The only way I have to create an event is by using the "+" button, which is very limiting!
I am running the latest version of Mac OS X and all the updates.
Anyone know how I could get a proper use of my iCal ?
Thanks

Hi,
If you list the steps you have taken to fix this it will help.
Have you tried using the File > New Event menu item?
Have you logged the user account out/ restarted the computer?
Have you tried un-syncing any accounts synced to Calendar?
Is there some change made to the computer that may have triggered this?
Best wishes

How do I view who created an event in my I Calendar?

In June of 2013 I was given an Apple Mac Book as a Father's Day present from my wife. She set the computer up herself and synched our I Cloud calendars together. I had an Apple ID prior to this. As far as I know we don't share an I Cloud Account.
Due to unforseen circumstances in our marriage I had to purse a Restraining Order. Since that restrianing order, my Verizon Online Account was compromised on two occasions and the Verizon Back Up Assistant Application was Downloaded to an unknown Computer. Additionally my Optimum Online Email Account was compromised on two occasions and the password was changed.
On January 29th, 2014 I received a notification that my estragned wife's Apple ID created an event in my I Calendar. I am not sure how she was able to accomplish this because I purposely changed my Apple ID in December of 2013 to prevent this from happening. So I assumed our calendars were no longer synched anymore.
I then reported this to the local police department for her violating the restraining order and they arrested me for falsifying a police report. When they looked at my Macbook they were unable to tell who created the event. While there I synched my calendar to my Iphone and we were able to view the event in that calendar. However, it showed the event as being edited by me and not created by my wife's Apple ID. I dont recall editing this event. I looked at several times and may have moved it to another calendar but I dont specifically remember. This was their probable cause to arrest me and they assumed I purpsoely tried to have my wife arrested.
Is there any other way to retrieve who created the event on my Calendar from my computer or I Cloud Account?
Is there any way to retrieve the mesage I received in the notification center? Is this stored anywhere on my computer?
When I changed my Apple ID wouldnt she have to get my permission to synch our calendars together? Wouldnt one of us have to approve this via an email?
Can you send documentation on your company letterhead that I changed my Apple ID and the date it was changed?
My attorney is preparing a subpoena to submit to Apple. What is the proper wording he should use in regards to getting the proper information to see who created the event in my I calendar? Would it be for records pertaining to my I Cloud Account or Apple ID? Is this information even recorded in the I Cloud account such Internet Protocoal Addresses?
<E-mails Edited by Host>

Open the event, or create a new event. Under 'invitees' enter the email addresses and 'send'.

How Can I Create an Event Link to a Page Tab?

I have a portlet in one tab that generates an event. I want to be able to send this event to the same page but to another tab where another portlet resides. Here's the code snippet that creates the link. This code is part of a custom JSP tag.
// Attempt to get access to the portlet render request to determine if we are within a portal context.
PortletRenderRequest prr = (PortletRenderRequest) pageContext.getRequest().getAttribute(
    HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
if (null != prr)
    try
        // Set up the parameters used for the link.
        NameValue[] eventParameters =
            new NameValue("linkUrl", linkUrlParamValue)
        // Construct the link parameter we will be using.
        linkUrl = EventUtils.constructEventLink(prr, "linkClicked", eventParameters, true, true);
    catch (PortletException e)
        // Error processing removed...
}This code will generate the event correctly and all processing occurs as expected. However, I cannot find a way to force the second tab to display.
I am able to force the the second tab to be displayed if I use "Direct Access URLs". These links are in the form
[protocol]://[host]:[port]/pls/portal/url/page/[page_group_root_page_name]/[tab_name]
But is there a way to create an event link using a specific URL?

Hi,
One workaround that i can think of is:
1. Set the <passAllUrlParams>true</passAllUrlParams> attribute in your provider.xml of the portlet on the target page/tab.(dont forget to refresh the provider)
2. If you already have the url to the tab, then you just simply construct the form in your previous portlet to post to that url with all the necessary form fields.
3. Process the request parameters and render the second portlet.
hope that helps.
thanks,
Harsha

Is there a way to create new events on the new iPhoto app?

Is there a way to create new events on the new iPhoto app? I seem to only be able to create albums. I would really like the app to allow me to do all the same things that I was able to do on my Mac. I would create events and then sync to all devices. Can someone please instruct me on how to create new events from the photos imported from the photo stream.
Thanks for all the help!

The iPhoto for iOS seems to be aimed at working on photos then sharing them to social media sites or to iCloud for sharing there. iPhoto for iOS does not perform many of the organizing tasks that iPhoto on your Mac does. Many people expected that there would be more capabilities in iPhoto for iOS that would allow it to work more closely with iPhoto on your computer but this is not the case. They are separate apps.

How do I fix Mail's [apparently lost] "create iCal event" feature?

When the data detector feature in Mail detects a date (and/or time) the contextual menu offers to create (or edit and create) an event in iCal. This used to work.
Recently (not sure how long, perhaps last week or two, maybe longer) I have found that (in Mail) I can bring up the same contextual menu, showing the event to be created, and the other events already on that day (oddly, however, each existing event appears in duplicate: peculiar new behaviour). I can edit the presented new event, then click Create event, the contextual menu window whooshes away, and when I go to iCal the event is not there.
If I now try again, Mail shows my recent attempted creation as if it had occurred (ie same appearance as the events that are in fact already in iCal), but again nothing happens.
