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.

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.

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 Z22

Hello 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.

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)
-- replace <searchString> with <replaceString> in <sourceStr>
-- return SearchReplace(theString, ".", "<PERIOD>")

set theList to (every text item of sourceStr)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to (replaceString)

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,
Brian

The 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.

When a third party program creates a new Google calendar event using a http link I cannot click the save button in Firefox 9.01 or 10b2.

I use a TV listings program called DigiGuide. This has a script that opens a new Google Calendar event page in my browser for a specified TV program with all fields already completed. I then just have to click the SAVE button on the Google Calendar site to save the event - but since updating to 9.01 from 8.xx this button and others (Discard, Search) has no effect, although the cursor changes when over the button as if it recognised a link. Opening the same page in Chrome works fine. I have also noticed that Calendar's other buttons (e.g. next/previous period) can stop working on the main Calendar page, which I have as a pinned tab - in this event navigating away from Calendar and back again regains that functionality. The issue persists in Firefox 10b2.

Further investigation reveals this only happens when the event is created from within WP native calendar app and disappears when I make an edit to the event in any other calendar client including Google web. So a more appropriate description of the problem would be:
"Native calendar app keeps subtracting 1h off a Google calendar event on EVERY edit"
Create an event at 2013/07/17 15:00 in WP native calendar app. Result: Event shows as 2013/07/17 15:00 in the calendar app for a few seconds, then updates itself to 2013/07/17 14:00.
Edit the event title and save in WP native calendar app. Event time moves by -1h again to 2013/07/17 13:00.
Edit the event title in Google web calendar.
Subsequent edits in WP native calendar do not mess up the time any longer. If I fix the time to what I originally intended (2013/07/17 15:00) in WP native calendar app, it stays there and shows correctly in all previously mentioned calendar viewers.
I just learned that Lumia 925 was released with GDR2 update pre-installed. This update is only now being made generally available. If the issue is secific to the CalDAV implementation in GDR2 rather than specific to my phone only, this would make a lot of angry people. I hope I'm wrong on this though as it's an extremely frustrating problem.

Multiple instances of the same calendar events using Oulook and Desktop Manager

BB Curve 8310
OS 4.5
Desktop Manager 5.0
Theme = Dimension Today
Outlook 2007 “full version”
Using two POP3 email accounts. One is a personal gmail and the other is most important a business email. I do not use gmails calendar.
12 Months or so back I would sometimes get duplicate appointments in my BB calendar after a sync but Outlook showed a single appointment. I had read that it was intermittent with the theme “Today” and the advice was “do not accept appointment invites in Outlook”.
I forgot and accepted several I the past week. Now almost all my appointments are doubled up in my BB and again, my Outlook seems fine. I just noticed that I can now select which calendar to “show” in my BB.
Is this caused by getting an email invite to an appointment?
1)   Does anyone know what is causing this?
2)   Could you suggest a quick fix?
3)   Could you suggest a permanent fix?
Thanks

BB Calendar CICAL = personal email
BB Messaging CMIME = work email
This is not correct the default services values need both reflect the main email associated account.
They need to both be your work address. This could very well explain the duplicates
Outlook has/uses only the work email address show it has to be the default one - I have long ago deleted my personal one from Outlook.
Outlooks Calendar Data File recurrence (none) 339, in Outlook 2007 I had to find them a different way but I think it's what your looking for.
My BB shows a "default" = 217, "personal" = 185, and "work" = 309
The records in the device default calendar will not synchronize. The are in effect "orphaned"
records that at one time belonged to an email address. Usually caused by deleting the email account or losing the service books for the email account. We need to remove them
can you tell what email account they were created from? And where they would logically be moved?
A couple of notes - now that you have had me flipping through different areas I have noticed a few interesting things that maybe would be beneficial. While using Outlook 2003, I used several email addresses. Don't know if Outlook updates to 2007 or installs a new 2007 program using data from 2003. There was a time that I was sending emails in Outlook from my personal account, there was a slight hiccup and every so often it would revert back, hence I simply deleted it.
I would need to verify it, but I'm pretty sure that the email addresses would have to be installed again.
I'll split that one with you. I'll take the Blackberry knowledgebase. You take the Microsoft outlook support site
I'm now wondering if I delete all the calendars on my BB and do the one way sync? That seems simple enough.
We are gong to do just that, to repair what happened. It will not prevent another recurrence.
You asked for three things:
You wanted a a reason this happened, I think we found it in the default services setup.
You wanted a quick fix, It will be done in with an hour's work.
You also wanted a permanent fix, Want to go for all three?
If you have multiple calendars you will have problems. It's just the nature of the beast.
It's not an "if " but just a matter of "when" deal!
Personally I can't find any logic in the concept of multiple calendars.
People explain they use one for work appointments and one for personal appointments.
I always want to ask why they don't use two watches one for personal and one for work?
I do see the need for separating personal and work email accounts.
Here is I think the best of both worlds answer.
Leave your work email configured and use the work calendar as you would normally.
For your personal email install the Gmail for mobile application. You have access to your
personal and work emails, they are kept separate due to the nature of the Gmail app.
Here is the the cherry on the top. The Gmail app doesn't install a calendar.
So two email addresses one calendar, ain't life grand!
So here is the plan Stan, let me know what you think.
1) On the Blackberry options advanced options, default services. Match both options to your work email.
2) Decide what needs to happen with the 217 device default "orphans".
Also 185 personal records. Are they worth keeping, can they be sent to the work calendar, do they need to be on Outlook.
3) Read this article you can see your options and help you make the best decision.
KB19240 How to merge multiple calendars into one calendar on the BlackBerry smartphone
Read about the Gmail for mobile app see if you think it will work for you: Gmail mobile app

What way can I format my emails so iphone can create calendar events automatically with all the information?

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.

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.

Create an event using abap class (transaction swetypv)

Hi,
Im trying to create an event by using an abap class.
The purpose is to update po reqs using BAPI_REQUISITION_CHANGE upon saving a sales order. The exit is called on saving a sales order MV45AFZZ.
In MV45AFZZ the method cl_swf_evt_event is called and the object type, event, objkey and obj cat is exported.
Object Type = ZBUS203200
Event = Z_TRAD_ORDER_CHANGE_OO
I created my class ZCL_UPDATE_PUR_REQ (by copying CL_SWF_RUN_WIM_HANDLER
And using interface name BI_EVENT_HANDLER_STATIC )
In /nswetypv I assigned Class ZCL_UPDATE_PUR_REQ
to Object Type ZBUS203200
And Event Z_TRAD_ORDER_CHANGE_OO.
All that works fine except for passing in the objectkey.
In Class ZCL_UPDATE_PUR_REQ
Method BI_EVENT_HANDLER_STATIC~ON_EVENT
When I go to create a parameter for object key, I get the message
Parameters/exceptions of inherited methods or events cannot be changed.
Has anyone any suggestions for how I can get the object key into the method call BI_EVENT_HANDLER_STATIC~ON_EVENT?
Thanks
Ann

Hi Johann,
You don't need a class to do the job if you are on a 6.10 or higher system. Use command CALL TRANSFORMATION to create an XML from an internal table.

Duplicate calendar events using Intellisync

I'm using Intellisync with my Treo 680 phone. It works GREAT for my GroupWise 7.0.1 e-mail on both my phone and PC, but for some reason my calendar events are being duplicated several times on my Windows XP PC GroupWise when the phone and PC are synched. They're not duplicated on the Treo calendar. Any ideas?
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Cingular)

A friend of mine who recently switched from a PC to Mac is experiencing the same problem after installing all the latest updates (Mac OS X 10.7.2 + iOS5 on his iPhone and iPad). He synchronizes his iPhone and iPad through iTunes with the iCal and Outlook 2011. The mac can't stop duplicating birthday alarms and currently has about 15 alarms per person.
Anyone having some ideas or at least a solution to stop the replication until Apple releases an update? If BobRocks is right about this happening with each new iTunes version, that's a big shame...

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"

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?
