Entering notes as opposed to timed events in iCal

hi. I would like to enter notes in iCal with no assigned time. Basically enter under a specific date simply notes. So that when i print the calendar, no time is assigned to the note. Is that possible?

Greetings,
This sounds like a caching issue.
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

Why does iCal insist on formatting a phone number as a hyperlink? How can I prevent this, and prevent iCal from launching FaceTime in response to entering the phone number in the event box?

I just want to enter a phone number into an event in iCal. I do not want to launch FaceTime. How can I just put a phone number in an iCal event, without OSX 10.10 insisting on launching FaceTime in response to entering the phone number? I use a Macbook Pro.

Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS7, it has basically become a brick. It constantly freezes, and the home button becomes completely inoperable. People have suggested a number of fixes for the home button problem ("calibrating", tightening screws, etc.) but none of the fixes solved the problem. Through trial and error, I've come to realize that the problem is that the phone doesn't have enough computing power and that too much of its RAM gets used up by background processes, causing the phone to freeze.
I have found an app that stops unnecessary background processes currently running, frees up RAM, and lets the phone function properly (Free RAM 1.3). Once I've run this app, the phone functions perfectly.
However, this clean up only happens each time the app is launched (ie: it does not continuously free up RAM). So, I constantly have to run it (and sometimes am not able to because the phone is frozen and the home button won't work).
When it is running, the app displays the background processes that are running. Looking at the list, there are many processes for which I have no need, such as processes related to automatic checking for app updates, processes related to iCloud (which I do not use), etc. Preventing these processes from running in the first place would go a long way in making my phone more useable (being able to return to a previous iOS would be a better option, but Apple won't allow this).
Here is my question: is there a way to prevent unnecessary background processes from running at all?
Which app is this?

How can I stop iCal displaying a timed event as an all day event?

Since updating to Lion and hence to Mountain Lion when I add a timed event in ical which continues past 04.00 the following morning it is displayed as an all day event covering both days. As I work shifts which involve night turns this is very annoying. It does not happen on iCal on my iPad.
I have tried adjusting settings for start time of day etc to no avail.

Bruno,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are you using any sync software?
The easiest thing to try is to refresh the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart, and make sure the deletion preference is not checked.

I no longer am able to edit an event in ical on the iphone. When I click on the event I can read it but there is not edit button on the screen?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

To cure the March 2013 monthly Calendar problem I amended my All- Day events for April 1 to timed events on my iPad. Now the Calendar does not load at all on the iPad, but still OK on iPhone 5. Any suggestions please?

In order to cure the problem on my iPad of the month of March 2013 only causing the Calendar to close, I amended all "All Day" events on April 1 to timed events. Now my Calendar will not open, although my Calendar on an iPad 2 and on iPhones 5 & 4 work perfectly. I have tried turning iPad off/on, but no effect. Any ideas please?

I'm having the same issue with my 3rd gen iPad too. I always viewed my calendar in month view. It won't even open since it's stuck on month view.
I've quit the app (properly closing via taskbar) and re-opened - crashes immediatly.
Quit the app and rebooted (via holding home/power buttons until restart) and opened - still crashes immediatly.
Anyone know how I'm able to get access to the app so I can change all day events to timed events in April. Is it just April 1st or all of April? I haven't even opened my iPhones iCal yet to see if it's having the same issue.
Also, not sure if this will work but iCal on my mac wireless syncs my calendar events. I'm wondering if I change April 1st all day events to timed events whether it'll sync and fix the issue of crashing?

TS3999 My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

On you phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and make sure you have selected a calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default. If not, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
If your settings are already correct, or if after changing them it still isn't syncing properly, make sure all the calendar events on your phone are in your iCloud calendar. If not, enter any missing events either on your iPad, or on icloud.com from your computer. Then, after your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn Calendars to Off. When prompted, choose Delete from My iPhone. After a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendar back to your phone. Then try adding a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.

Timed Events Not Printing

iCal preview and printing shows bar in place of the start time for timed events. Help please. Need to see start times instead of bars.

I'm having the same problem. I've turned of the legend, I've made sure that both timed and all day events are set to print.
The bar (looks like a category label or something) is followed by three dots. The dots seem to indicate that something is being abbreviated due to length.
Any suggestions?

Time zone compatability problem with timed event created on iOS and pushed to Windows7 Outlook calendar for sharing

Hi, I am in Jerusalem time zone. My Windows7 LAPTOP time zone is set to it (UTC+02:00 Jerusalem). My iPhone5 and iPad are both "Set Automatically" (ON) to Jerusalem. When I create any new event in my outlook on my Laptop it's generated with the Jerusalem time zone and pushed properly via iCloud to my iPhone and iPad. However when I create a new timed event on either my iPhone or iPad. or even in iCloud calendar (in a browser) the event is pushed to outlook on my Laptop in a "Beirut" time zone. Now that both Jerusalem and Beirut are on the same time zone (UTC + 02:00) it doesn't create any problem (though I prefer to see that the pushed events are indeed in Jerusalem time zone and not Beirut...). However, at and around day time saving change days there are problems of events created on iOS devices or even in iCloud (using browser) and pushed to outlook at the wrong times (1 hour earlier or later, depends on the change direction in Jerusalem time...) with a Beirut time stamp.
How can I resolve this problem and make sure all timed events, created on iOS devices at a Jerusalem time zone, appear as such after pushed via iCloud to my windows7 Outlook calendatr? Thanks!

I also have this issue (iPhone 5). Outlook needs to be configured properly in that timezone option needs to be selected. Which is challenging enough.
However the bigger issue for me is that when I open the ICN file:
1. I have no way to accept decline etc.
2. When the event is populating the calendar in the wrong time I can neither cut and paste nor select and move. It is totally static.
So for every meeting request I have to ensure it populates the right time as per my time zone. and if it doesnt i have to manually enter a second meeting 'X' hours earlier/later depending on which time zone the meeting was generated in.
I spoke to Apple. Their solution is make sure Outlook is properly configured. Fine...but good luck. I need a work around that is Apple based. Because this *****.
They said they would send to the development team. I am not holding my breath.

Hello b.krushel,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
Any number of things could cause this issue, so I would recommend this article named iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999.
These sections in particular:
General Troubleshooting
Make sure there are no current issues listed on the System Status that affect iCloud Calendar. The System Status is located on the iCloud Support webpage.
Make sure you have fully enabled iCloud Calendar for the client you are using (for more setup and troubleshooting information on iOS, OS X, Windows and iCloud.com, see the additional details below).
Check to see if the issue you are seeing is covered in iCloud Help. To search iCloud Help, visit help.apple.com/icloud.
Check your settings and preferences as something may not be set up correctly. For example, having incorrect date and time settings can cause issues which are easily resolved by entering the appropriate settings.
Troubleshooting Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion (iCal on OS X Lion)Note: For instructions on setting up iCloud Calendar with Calendar or iCal on your Mac, see iCloud Setup.If you are having trouble with Calendar or iCal on a Mac and you are using iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
Make sure you are using OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later. Click here for help verifying the version of OS X you are using.
Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in iCal. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Preference pane in System Preferences. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on a Mac.
Make sure you enter and update calendar information in the iCloud section of Calendar or iCal. Only calendars and events in the iCloud section of the Calendar or iCal Calendar list will be pushed to iCloud. Both Calendar and iCal for the Mac support the display of and interaction with multiple accounts and datastores, for example, iCloud, On My Mac, Exchange, Google, and so on. This makes it easy to create or modify events or calendars in a section of Calendar or iCal that may not be updating iCloud. Learn more about moving local calendars to iCloud.
In some cases, you may find that you have data duplicated in both the local On My Mac and the iCloud sections of Calendar or iCal. Learn more about resolving this issue.
You can make the iCloud calendar your default calendar for all new events. In Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion, choose Calendar > Preferences > General, or in OS X Lion, choose iCal > Preferences > Generaland under the Default Calendar heading, select one of the Calendars under the iCloud heading. Close the Preferences window to save this change.
If recent changes simply don't appear, try forcing Calendar or iCal to refresh by selecting Refresh All from theCalendar menu.
Make sure your account was successfully created in Calendar on your Mac (or iCal). After upgrading to iCloud Calendar, you may need to quit and reopen Calendar (or iCal). To confirm your account is configured correctly in iCal:
Open Calendar (or iCal).
Open Calendar (or iCal) Preferences.
Click Accounts. You should see an account with your iCloud member name entered.
Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on
Quit Calendar (or iCal).
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences.
Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
Take care,
Sterling

How can I remove "invitations" from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?

How can I remove invitations from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?
My wife and I share our calendars and she uses it very frequently. Every time she enters a new event on her calendar I get a notice (invitation?) in the Calendar app, even though I am not invited to the event she created.
I would like to continue being able to share our calendars but I do not want the hassle of an Invitation popping up every time she enters an event.
Thanks!

You can sync photos and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time. When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

CPU Time in Top 5 Timed Events

Hi,
We have a 2 node RAC database(10.2.0.3) on Solaris 10.
There is performance issue with CMRO application R12.
In database I see CPU time consistently as the top wait event in the Top 5 Timed Events.
This is mostl followed by db file sequential read.
For one of the days:
Top 5 Timed Events
Event Waits Time(s) Avg Wait(ms) % Total Call Time Wait Class
CPU time 8,383 82.8
db file sequential read 173,417 838 5 8.3 User I/O
SQL*Net break/reset to client 26,015 651 25 6.4 Application
enq: TX - row lock contention 1,063 356 335 3.5 Application
gcs log flush sync 37,747 88 2 .9 Other
For other day:
Top 5 Timed Events
Event Waits Time(s) Avg Wait(ms) % Total Call Time Wait Class
CPU time 25,286 62.0
db file sequential read 2,644,332 8,267 3 20.3 User I/O

read by other session 438,494 1,169 3 2.9 User I/O
SQL*Net more data to client 19,423 879 45 2.2 Network
Any idea of the of the bottleneck?
Thanks

8 CPUs, load average 4, runqueue 0 and usage 30-35%
Does this indicate any issue with system resourcesNO. Not at all.
However a poor schema design or inefficient SQL execution can mean that a query that should do 100 'consistent gets' is doing 10,000 'consistent gets' -- in the buffer cache, consuming CPU and not waiting for I/O. This is a scenario where you have idle CPU but CPU usage is inefficient. (Thus, for example, adding more CPUs will not help your users at all).
So you should look at the queries and see if queries can be improved.
If, on the other hand, users are not complaining of performance and all response times are within expectations, than you have no issue at all.

ICal doesn't subscribe to timed events and doesn't refresh

In our office we each have a calendar which each person publishes on .Mac, and which others in the office subscribe to. We're experiencing the following problems:
-- "Refresh all" on some machines doesn't refresh calendars; each must be refreshed individually;
-- On some machines, all-day events appear, but timed events do not
-- In some cases calendars won't refresh properly; they display old information and don't update, even when manually refreshed. The calendar must be deleted and re-subscribed to on the subscribing machine. Sometimes even this doesn't work and has to be done repeatedly before the calendar is up to date.
We have a mix of iBooks, iMacs (from G4 to Intel), MacBook, PowerBook, and G5; running OS X 10.3 through 10.4. Could the mix of OS versions be the problem? Or should we use another server than .Mac to publish/subscribe to?

lilkirk87,
It probably means that you do not have "Calendars" selected in iPhone>Settings>iCloud.

Look into these events, enqueue, row cache lock, buffer busy wait
select * from V$ENQUEUE_STAT
to find out which enqueue the database has been waiting on.
The three events could be related.
Most likely you have one/some hot objects that a lot queries updating on at the same time.
also check
v$session_wait
when you have the performance issue to find out the hot objects.

Timed Events in Tasks

Hi,
I am trying to create a situation where on receipt of an xml event a task is executed
however if this task is not executed within a certain time then this is notified
to another user.
Hence I have a start which is connected to two tasks, one task being the task
to be executed by the user and the other is a task with a Timed Event action.
This timed event waits for 1 minute. The two tasks feed into an or gate which
leads to another task which determines if a time out occurred or not.
First question is this a sensible approach for time-outs/escalation procedures
and secondly this crashes with a trace that has things like businessCalendar ejbs
referenced. My understanding was that if I used the from action with not business
minutes or business hours then busines calendar would not be invoked.
Any advice greatly received
