Creating events from email links (datadetectors?)

does anyone know how to format an email, so that the "datadetectors" feature offers to create an event with the correct subject as well as the time and date?
For example, if i have the following in an email:
15:00 - 17:00 6 August 2011 Preston v Colchester
I get offered to create an event at the right time and date, but the event title is take from the subject line of the email, when I would want it to be
"Preston v Colchester"
Anyone cracked this one?
Cheers..
BTW I'm on IOS 4.3.3

This page seems to offer a step in the right direction.

Create event from an email in LION

Maybe it's me, but I can't seem to find a way (or Apple Scripts in Menu like Snow Leopard) to create an Event from an Email?
I do see that one thing it must have is a date or time from someone in the body of the email, which gives you the dropdown bar and you can create an event.
I hope this isn't gone or tossed out, or worse, not thought through (Remember not being able to accept a meeting invite on iPhones?).
Anyone guide this through for me? Can't believe I am asking a question like this but this one has me lost.
Thanks

Ok. I spoke to iApps Team at Apple and we figured this out.
Here's how it works:
In order to drag an event to iCal (Create Event from an Email) you must be in "No Conversations" mode
Conversations can be toggled by the Icon in the Icon Bar (See preferences to drag it if it's not there)
Once in "No Conversations" mode, you can drag an email to create an event in iCal like Snow Leopard
The AppleScripts from Snow Leopard Mail are gone (At least in the OS version of Mail)
If you are in "Conversations" mode, you cannot drag an email to iCal to create an event (Apple - should this be fixed or updated to add the Conversations to create an event???)
So Hat Tip to the folks at iApps for helping me to determine the fix. They were able to drag it in "No Conversations" mode, which led me to my own conclusion that it works only in that mode.
Better would be a add-in to the Help Menu to show people how to do this. Simple is fine, we need to know how to do something as critical as this without guesswork...
What's your experiences, tips or tricks in Apple Mail so far?
My Favorites:
Toggle Conversations
Hover Action to create add to Address Book

Changed Template to Add Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn Profiles but the template does not work when adding a new Card

IOS - Create Event from Messages in Calendar doesn't observe default Alert settings

I have discovered a bug in the iOS Calendar app. If one gets a text message with a time and uses the underlined link (in Messages) to "Create Event," the newly created calendar item (Event) does not set the alert as defined in Calendar settings.
For example, my alerts are set (in Settings) to 1 hour, but when using "Create Event" from Messages, the alert is pre-set to none. When creating a new event strictly in Calendar however, the 1 hour alert is set properly for the new event.
Is this just me, or can others confirm this?
And does anyone have suggestion for a fix?

TS3276 i am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

I am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

A few more details might help, if nobody else recognizes this.
What happens when you try to open the links?
Can you post an example of a link that doesn't work?
Is there any particular source for the mail with the (bad) links, or is mail from all sources failing?
If you happen to know it, what's the format of the mail message? (Maybe the message is an image?)
Do the embedded links work as expected from an OS X system running Mail.app, or some system and some other other mail client?
To view the link in iOS: if you press on and hold your finger on an embedded link in most contexts, iOS will show a pop-up with the link contents, and will offer to copy it. You can use that to acquire and post the link. If pressing and holding on the link doesn't offer the pop-up, the format of the link itself may not be valid, or it might not really be a link.

How do I create events from my photo stream?

My pics are importing into an event called "October 2011 Photo Stream" but I want to break those down into smaller events. How do I do that?

Like any Event.
Flag the photo(s) and go Events -> Create Event from Flagged Photos or Move Flagged Photos to selected Event.

Can't create event from iPad mail

I Am using an iPad 2, with all updates. When I try to create an event from an email, the right screen pops up, but the right hand side is cut off, so I have no save button. Also can't change calendars, etc, because there is no save button on those screens too. The calendar functions otherwise seem fine. Help, please?

That is a known issue. Although it has been reported in the past, another submission wouldn't hurt: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
To my knowledge, short of simply open the calendar app and creating the event from scratch, there is no workaround.

Create View from Database Links - Question

Question
I'm missing something simple.
I'm trying to create a view, from a Database Link.
CREATE VIEW view_name
AS SELECT a.*
FROM schema.tablename@dblink a;
When I run this in the SQL Commands window.
I get this error message.
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
What am I missing? Any help is appreciated...

CREATE VIEW vw_name
AS SELECT a.*
FROM [email protected] a;

 
1) User (schema) which is creating view must have proper db_link to source database. For that try this for testing purpose:
select 1 from [email protected] 
If this fail then db_link is not ok! This step is absolute must to go any further step to!!!
 
2) when db_link is set, then your view should be named as:
CREATE VIEW vw_name
AS SELECT *
FROM schema_name.[email protected]; 
please pay attention to "schema_name", because from remote side every table is in some schema so it really need declaration of owner schema.
 
Hope this helps...

Error when trying to open, edit & save the document from email link

Hi,
The error occurs when user tries to open the document from the email link (after the document is "shared" with them.
The recipient has been given edit rights. When the document is opened it is opened in read only. The recipient will click "Edit Document" and then they receive an error
"The file or folder name http://servername/sites/documents/Shared Documents/IT/Test/TESTfile.xlsx?NoRedirect=true' contains characters that are not permitted. Enter a different name."
Any suggestions please.
Thanks.

Hi Inderjeet,
Thank you very much for you reply.
I tried with the LAN options, it didn't help.
I see that in the
http://blog.ray1.net/2007/12/file-or-folder-name-contains-characters.html it's written as the error occurs while "Creating a new site based on a custom site definition, you get the above error", which is not my case.
Mine happens when I click on the link from the email body. An exact thread I found :
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/d724a882-66cf-4515-a088-afd7d088b103/email-link-to-share-documents?forum=sharepointgeneral&prof=required
But no solution is mentioned there as well.
I think this is an issue with SharePoint 2013. Do you agree? I would like to invite more experts for their opinion on this please.
Many thanks & Regards

How can I get to Yahoo Mail from email links on Craigslist?

I have looked through the discussions, but I am not finding anything specific to my problem. I am not using Apple Mail at all. I am using a Yahoo email account only. When I am visiting a web site and I click on a link to email someone from that site, Mail always automatically opens. I have to copy the email address, launch Safari, access my Yahoo Mail, compose a new email, and paste in that address in order to send the email from Yahoo. It's a pain.
My question is this: How can I configure my Mac to NOT automatically open Mail but rather to automatically open Yahoo as the client from which to send an email?
The best example of when I'd need to do is when surfing Craigslist. When I see an ad I want to reply to, I click the seller's Craigslist-generated email link. I want THAT link to take me to Yahoo, not Apple Mail.
Any ideas or work-arounds that will enable that to happen?

There may be an solution but I don't think it will be simple and I don't know what it is.
One problem is when you say, "open Yahoo as the client." Yahoo isn't a client or application as such, it is just a web page. When you click on a "mailto" link it tells the browser to open your mail application, and Yahoo isn't an application.
The web page in [this link|http://www.tuaw.com/2006/11/07/tuaw-tip-change-your-default-browser-or-def ault-mail-client-wit> discusses some of the issues you are having. People were complaining that the only way to change your mail preferences was to actually set up an account using OSX's Mail application which was the one you didn't want to use anyway. However, the best you could maybe do using the utilities mentioned on the page is to tell your computer to set Safari as your mail application; I don't know how to get it to then go to the Yahoo website as part of the package. Maybe some kind of advanced scripting?
Edit: It looks like Yahoo also has a way of connecting directly to it using a mail application if you pay for the premium service.

if you do not get the same error I am then Donald Duck.

I have a similar scenario to recreate this same error. I have a link on my page used as an anchor. After I select the link, I select a submitButton and I get the error. If I select the submitButton before I use the link, everything works fine.
Is this a BUG???

Firefox won't launch entourage email from email link on website. I'm on Mac OS 10.6.8

since i upgraded to a more current version of Firefox, Firefox won't launch my Entourage email from an email link on websites. I'm on Mac OS 10.6.8

It amuses me that the email that was sent to confirm the posting of this question had a clickable link. Naturally that link did not work. Cutting and pasting it into FireFox allowed me to complete the posting process. Annoying.

How to get updated and recently created events from google calendar in pl/s

Hello
I am able to get Google calendar events using pl/sql..I am receiving huge xml code(if there are more events),want only update and recently created events instead of getting repeated events.please help me in this regard.
Thanks

From the Google Calendar API online documentation:
"Retrieving an event again
If you want to retrieve an event that you've retrieved before, you can improve efficiency by telling Calendar to send the event only if it has changed since the last time you retrieved it."

SCSM 2012 - creating incident from email - description issue

Hello, I have SCSM 2012 RTM and I am trying to use out-of-the-box create incident from e-mail functionality.
It is working but I have issue with description field of created incident- it comes with the last part of the eml file.
Description field of Incident looks like :
-_000_47499D6C4A5DAE4EB0FF86A4F6184D7EFB0023D9ex2010mbx1podra_
Content-Dis; filename="winmail.dat"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 .....
I can not use Exchange Connector because I can not install SP1 for SCSM 2012 - Service Manager databases are on SQL 2008 - which is not supported for SP1 for SCSM 2012.
Any help is welcome.
Best regards,
Dubravko

Thanks for your reply, but my Service manager databases are on consolidated SQL 2008 SP2 cluster.
SQL 2008 SP2 is not supported for SCSM 2012 R2. Because on that SQL 2008 SP2 cluster are also other bussiness databases which has some compatibility issues I can not do the upgrade to SQL 2008 R2.
Best regards,
Dubravko

Registered on Firefox website and asked question re problem. Received email "you need to confirm the account you just created by clicking on the link below:" before my question can be seen by the community.
Click on link and get following message:

HI jpenha,
Thank you for your question. Is this happening on the same device? Also, in order to further investigate can you please provide a sync log for when this is happening:
# In about config turn on sync logging
# Try to login, then go to about:sync-logs
Any errors or logs at the time should give a hint to what is happening. :-)

Firefox won't open (in a new session) from email link. I have this issue on my Win 7 and XP computers.

If I open my email account (TBird) w/out opening Firefox, and then try to open a link from the email, Firefox will not open. I can't then go and open it from the desktop either. I used to go to Task Manager and close the .exe file," but MS has changed that so that I can't get into the "process" area. How do I fix this?

Although 6 other people seem to have encountered this problem, nobody has offered a solution yet. Perhaps the following will put some Firefox gurus on the right trail.
When I said "my search results", I meant the results obtained with Google (standard when installing Firefox). Now I have tried another search engine (Dogpile) and there The tabs do work. Very strange, isn't it ?
