Data Detection in Calendar in Mavericks doesn't seem to work anymore.

Since the upgrade to Mavericks, data detection doesn't seem to work anymore.
Before i just typed in a new event:
"Meeting XY at 7pm in Berlin"
and ical would automatically change that to "Meeting XY" and insert the time in the appropriate field and the same for the location.
Now it doesn't work anymore and i have to insert it manually in the different fields.
Anyone with the same problem? and maybe a solution?

After searching a bit longer, I found a solution that worked for me. A setting in the CUPS server needed correcting. See this page for instructions: http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/printing/topic2807.html#d21jul2008
After removing the Deny line indicated in the link above, I removed the printer from the remote computer and then added it back it. Two things happened, first when adding the printer back in, I no longer got the generic postscript printer driver as the default, but got the correct Officejet Driver. Second, It worked! Now to try it with my old 10.4.x powerbook to see if it's solved there too.
Hope that helps!

  • Saving tabs doesn't seem to work anymore for me in 4.0.1

    Since I've installed FireFox 4.0.1 the saving of tabs doesn't seem to work anymore. When I press exit I only receive the notification "are you sure you want to close x tabs?". When firefox or my computer crashes the tabs are saved, but when I try to exit myself I can't. Can someone tell me how to solve this?

    Hi, I have a similar problem. When playing music, the screensaver has stopped working. Instead all I get is a white screen. I have checked all the settings and they are ok. The photos show and the albums show will work. But as soon as I switch back to slideshow I get the white screen back. It is even like this in 'Preview'.
    Have you solved the problem now. If so, how?
    Anyone else affected? I took a new software update to the Apple TV two days ago. Could this be the problem?
    all advice welcome

    I think I figured out Firefox, I went under Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox.
    I only have one account on my computer. Honestly I don't even really know how multiple accounts work. I've never played around with it. I already allowed Java - should I disable it?

  • My history function, that keeps track of which websites I've visited by date doesn't seem to work anymore, how do I restore?

    I used to be able to click on history and it would show what websites I've been on and the date visited. That doesn't work all of a sudden and wonder, how do I restore that function?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode and that you still remember history.

    *You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"

  • File search on Time capsule doesn't seem to work anymore ?

    Hello,
    I have my music files stored on time capsule. and I have a backup on a USB drive.
    When I search for a certain word as part of the file name, the search on time capsule returns very few entries now, in some cases zero.
    However searching on backup for instance returns over 500 entries. The files are available on time capsule and they play via iTunes,
    but since I installed Lion, the search doesn't find them.
    what is wrong?
    thanks for any help!

    If you do not have Finder open to any folder or are not using iPhoto or Mail, this is normal. With no apps open, you are at your desktop. Hence, if you click on the Time Machine icon, your desktop is what appears. Don't drag stuff onto your desktop. That's totally unnecessary. Try again with Finder open.

  • Sharing Printer doesn't seem to work anymore

    We recently moved and had to set up our computers and printer sharing again. We have an aluminum imac hooked directly into our HP photosmart c4200 series. We want to print from our new macbook via printer sharing. However, we get a variety of error messages from the macbook saying that the printer is forbidden or that the printer is currently off-line. We have gone into settings and made sure that printer sharing was turned on both macs, reset/repaired permissions on both macs but still nothing. The only thing that is different is that when we successful printed from the laptop in the past it was a powerbook, now I have a new macbook and I am having the issues. Anythoughts? Oh and we are on a airport base station for our wireless router.

  • LSUIElement doesn't seem to work anymore, are there any other options

    I've been trying to find a workaround since I upgraded to Snow Leopard with no result so this is a last resort. LSUIElement and every other tweak I can find no longer seems to work to hide applications from the dock, is there any way to do that with Snow Leopard?

    One thing that's worked for me in the past is to "touch" the application. I don't know if it will work in Snow Leopard. In Terminal:
    touch 'path/to/application.app'

    Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts. 
    I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page.  Searching doesn't seem to work correctly in this view.
    It's always the second search that is problematic.
    I've tried typing over and all it seems to do is confine the search to the the entries that have come up for the previous search.
    I've tried to use the x to clear the previous entry and then type the next search, same problem.  The only way seems to be to move from "All Contacts" to "Groups".  Then the searched name appears and I can return to All Contacts to see full details.
    Surely three key press' are not the way it's supposed to work?

  • Forum search doesn't seem to work for Date Range 'ALL'

    Hi there,
    Forum search doesn't seem to work for Date Range option: 'ALL' .
    For a given search criteria, I get few search results when the date range is chosen as 'last year', but for the same search criteria, when the date range is chosen as ALL, no search results are shown (not even the ones shown earlier for last year selection).

    I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?    

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Copy items to the iPhoto Library option doesn't seem to work

    Hi, I'm using 7.1.1 and if I:
    1. De-select the create "Copy items to the iPhoto Library" option in Preferences/Advanced
    2. Create a new library
    It doesn't seem to work. The images are still being copied into the library -- that is, if I show the package contents of the library, the data directory has the photos. Additionally, if I do something like open, modify in photoshop and save one of the imported files, it doesn't show up in iPhoto. Likewise if I modify the file in iPhoto and then look at the photo in the file system using Preview or Photoshop, the iPhoto changes don't appear.
    Is this a bug? Is it not supposed to work like this? I believe that if I say "don't copy the files into the library" it means that it uses my original photos in their original location and that changes I make in iPhoto modify and manipulate the original files.
    I've tried this on two different machines and get the same results. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    markand:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's not a bug. You don't understand correctly how iPhoto works in the "referenced" library mode. The Data folder contains the thumbnail files that iPhoto creates and needs to operate. The Originals folder will contain alias files linked to the source files at their location. Any edits, by iPhoto or by Photoshop configured correctly will result in a modified file in the Modified folder of iPhoto. *You should not open, rename, move or edit any file in the library package from the Finder.*
    Using Photoshop to edit photos in iPHoto must be done by selecting PS as the editor to use in iPhoto's General Preferences section. Then follow the instructions below to edit photos correctly:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

  • Safari on my iPhone 6 running 8.02 doesn't seem to work right. Some Java scripts don't show correctly and they do on other browsers I have downloaded. I tried almost everything and nothing seems to work to fix it. Please help.

    Some websites like the one of my college uses JavaScripts and they seem to load correctly to a certain point but then not really. For example in one it would say select an option from the left menu. And I do it hut nothing happens. But when I go to the same website in another browser on my phone. The JavaScript works completely and allows me to see whatever I was clickig on that menu. I have seen that there are other websites being affected too. I tried clearing my cookies and data. even restarted my phone. And doesn't seem to work. I don't know how change the configuration any more to make it work like normal. At first I thought it was my school's website but it never got fixed. And now I realized is my safari browser! I wanna keep using it since I am really familiar with It. If someone knows how to fix this please let me know!
    Thanks

    You can reset the SMC and see if that helps. If it's a unibody or Retina, follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."

  • I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

    I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm currently in India. Could that be the cause or can anyone suggest any reason why this wouldn't work?

    "gets stuck" - are there any error messages?
    If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test:   Go to...
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options.  Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup.  If that doesn't work, then this post will not help.  If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup.  If successful, keep repeating these steps.  If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail.  (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
    This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.
