Entering Time into Calendar

How can I input a time into Calendar on an iPad with a minutes value that does not end in 5 or zero?

Perhaps users in the iCal forum know of a solution?

  • TS4337 How do I stop iCal from automatically converting manually entered times into entries on my hourly calendar?

    I use the monthly calendar view in iCal.
    I enter an event as such: "lunch with mom @ 3" so I can just look at my monthly calendar at a glance and see what time things are.
    In the latest update, it now automatically strips that entry of "@ 3" and converts it to the hourly calendar, which I never use or want to look at, adding a layer of clicking between me and the info I need.
    Is there a way to turn that off? Or do I just need to find a new calendar app to use and/or never update any Apple software again for fear of them changing the features I use?

    Try lunch with mom at 3 instead
    I tried and the text was not stripped and the event was entered at the correct time

  • How to enter time into iCal?

    iCal is supposed to have some type of natural language support.  However, I can't get it to consistently enter a time.  Most of the time it has the all day option checked.
    I've tried these formats:
    some kind of meeting @ 8a
    some kind of meeting @8a
    some kind of meeting at 8a
    However, randomly it will use the time and the all day option is not checked.  Does any one know how to make this work consistently?

    'AM' or 'PM' that's right for the start time. The app appears to make the ending time 1 hour later which would make sense. Of course, once the event is created, it can be edited. Not entering a start time will make the 'All Day' checkbox be checked since the app doesn't know it's not an all day event.
    EDITED: Also ran a test entering a new event like this: Meeting at 8am until 3pm. The entry in iCal was: Event name of Meeting     Time of 8:00am-3:00pm

  • Cannot enter event time in Calendar 6.0

    I recently updgraded to Mountain Lion, and when I try to enter a new event into Calendar (by double clicking on day, week or month and unchecking all day option), there is no option to enter the specific event time. 
    Also, Calendar is randomnly changing the time of events of synced google calendar events to 19:45.
    Anyone else experience this problem.  Suggestions as how to fix these two problems would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I am having the same darn problem. I really dislike this auto feature in Calendar.
    Can anyone help us please?

  • Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

    Doesn't do that for me. Try resetting the phone

  • Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?

    Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?  I don't need the calendar grid.  I just want a list of events on a particular calendar, and their dates.  Is that possible? 

    Not easily. Two possibilities:
    1) If all the events have some common feature (eg you have included "XXX" in all the summaries), search for that feature then select and copy the found items at the bottom of the window. You can then paste them into TextEdit or a spreadsheet for printing
    2) You could write an Applescript to locate the events and write them into a text file for printing.
    The first one will probably give you what you want.

  • Sync seems to be playing up on my iMac itunes.  Events entered into Calendar on my iphone4 fail to appear in iCal after syncing via iTunes.  They must be there however because if I then sync iCal with my ipod via iTunes the missing events appear in Calend

    Sync seems to be playing up when I sync my iPhone 4 with my iMac using iTunes.  Events entered into Calendar on my iPhone do not appear in Calendar on my mac after syncing.  They must be there however since if I then sync Calendar on the mac with iCal on my ipod they appear in calendar on my iPod.  Is it justa display problem or am I being a bit thick??!

    I have the exact same problem as you (minus the coffee incident) where the phone just turned off. Tried everything you have too and now the above link is showing a 404 page... Can you help me out?

  • OS 10.8.2 - Click on Enter Time Machine - nothing happens

    Not sure if recent history matters, but including it.  Last week I had a problem with my display.  Took it in to Apple and had it repaired - new logic board installed.  Before taking it in, I decided to back up onto iCloud, which I had never used before.  I also have Time Machine back-ups on a WD Passport external drive, but I am always worried something could happen to it.
    After my 6 year old MacBook Pro came back, I found that the calendar was stuck trying to access the server.  I wasn't able to quit Calendar or even Force Quit it - I would have to shut my computer down to make it stop.  If I opened it, it resumed trying to access the server for ever.  A couple of days later I disengaged from iCloud to solve this problem.  It warned me that I would lose my data.  I wasn't worried because I also had recent Time Machine backups on the external drive.
    Now I would like to reinstall the data I lost using the back ups on the external drive.  But when I click on the Time Machine icon in the top menu bar and click on Enter Time Machine, nothing happens.  I tried opening it from Finder.  No go.
    Any suggestions?  Or should I head back over to the Apple Store this weekend for help?
    Thanks!

    I have muddled through this and now have my calendar info back.  After posting the question I started closing windows and found that my external drive was no longer connected, though I hadn't intentionally disconnected it.  I restarted my system, reconnected my external drive, and then was able to enter Time Machine. 
    I didn't find my calendar data file. 
    I decided to try to recover the data from my iPod, but the sync didn't restore the information onto my MacBook.
    I figured since I was facing a trip to the Apple store anyway, why not reconnect to iCloud and see what happened. This time it entered "connecting to server" and within two minutes it had connected and I had my appointments and birthdays restored.
    Don't know why I had the issue in the first place, but will keep my fingers crossed for the future.

  • Multiple Yosemite woes: programs won't start, can't enter Time Machine, etc.

    Hello Linc et al.,
    I have been having Yosemite problems similar to those discussed elsewhere (e.g. iMac 27" late 2013 and Yosemite) (albeit with 10.10.1, Mid-2010 MacBook Pro): can't enter Time Machine, although it seems to be backing up; programs including Illustrator, EndNote, and Boinc don't start, or only after an hour or two (others, including Microsoft Office, seem okay). They will start normally in safe mode, but not for a newly created user. Many permission repairs carried out (seems okay except for a couple recurring printer-related messages), disk is okay, PRAM and SMC reset. Spent some time with various tech support, so most of these have been tried several times.
    The solution here com.apple.xpc.launchd & com.apple.mdworker.bundles pollute logs with errors worked through one restart - there were two mystery uids, owning many files - but not through a second.
    I have followed the permission repair procedure from another post (discussions.apple.com/message/27015992#27015992); the initial return was 639, and now it is 0. Restarted since then, nothing appeared to change.
    Below is what I get from the test suggested in the first thread mentioned, I hope there is something informative here! I'll study it myself, but don't know what might or might not matter.
    Thanks,
    Barbara

    Hello Linc et al.,
    I have been having Yosemite problems similar to those discussed elsewhere (e.g. iMac 27" late 2013 and Yosemite) (albeit with 10.10.1, Mid-2010 MacBook Pro): can't enter Time Machine, although it seems to be backing up; programs including Illustrator, EndNote, and Boinc don't start, or only after an hour or two (others, including Microsoft Office, seem okay). They will start normally in safe mode, but not for a newly created user. Many permission repairs carried out (seems okay except for a couple recurring printer-related messages), disk is okay, PRAM and SMC reset. Spent some time with various tech support, so most of these have been tried several times.
    The solution here com.apple.xpc.launchd & com.apple.mdworker.bundles pollute logs with errors worked through one restart - there were two mystery uids, owning many files - but not through a second.
    I have followed the permission repair procedure from another post (discussions.apple.com/message/27015992#27015992); the initial return was 639, and now it is 0. Restarted since then, nothing appeared to change.
    Below is what I get from the test suggested in the first thread mentioned, I hope there is something informative here! I'll study it myself, but don't know what might or might not matter.
    Thanks,
    Barbara

  • How can I get my wireless keyboard and my new magic mouse to enter info into a Christmas list app on iphone 3GS? Do I have to move to another room? I have bluetooth on in my iPhone.

    I have wireless keyboard and a new magic mouse. I want to enter data into a Christmas list app on my 3GS iPhone. Too time consuming to just type on iPhone keyboard. How can I get keyboard and mouse to be 'connected' or recognized by my iPhone? I have Bluetooth "on" in my iPhone.

    You cannot connect the mouse.  This is not a feature of iphone
    You can learn about connecting a keyboard in the manual:

  • Sales order is not taking shipping transit lead time into consideration

    Hi,
    We have following scenario -
    1. Sales order is created in AT organization.
    2. There is no onhand in any of the organizations including AT.
    3. The scheduled ship date for sales order comes as order creation date + item lead time = 15-Sep-2011.
    3. PO for sufficient quantity is available at UK org with need-by date as 01-Jun-2011.
    5. Post processing item lead time for this item is 1 day.
    4. intransit shipment is setup between UK and AT.
    5. Shipment Transit lead times are also set up at 3 days between locations of UK and AT.
    6. ASCP plan is run.
    7. Sales Order is unscheduled and rescheduled via API MSC_ATP_PUB, which takes the ATP details from UK (based on the sourcing rules). The sheduled ship date comes as 02-Jun-2011 (PO need-by date + 1 day of post processing).
    8. Expectation is that API should also take transit lead time into consideration while calculating the ATP dates and hence the Expectation is that scheduled ship date should come as 05-Jun-2011 (PO need-by date + Transit lead time + 1 day of post processing).
    Please let me know
    a. if this is standard functionality of oracle or not.
    b. if this is standard functionality then what setups are missing required for the same to be achieved.
    UAT is held up for this issue. Please help urgently.
    Regards.

    Oracle is supposed to take the in-transit time into consideration.
    Are you running a constrained plan or an unconstrained one?
    Make sure you defined the inter-org network as described in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A60725_05/html/comnls/us/inv/shipne01.htm.
    or go to Inventory > Setup > Organization > Inter-Location Transit Times and enter it there.

  • Cannot enter Time Machine after upgrading from Snow Leopard

    Hi all,
    I've had Lion installed for a few days now and am enjoying the changes to OSX.
    Last night I wanted to delete a few redundant files out of my TimeMachine backup and found I could not open the application at all.
    I can still backup to Time Machine successfully (so it indicates with preparing, backing up progress (xGB of yGB), finishing, etc).  So for the last few days everything appeared to be functioning as expected until last night, when I tried to enter Time Machine.
    My specs:
    iMac (Oct 2010), 4GB, 1TB, 3.6GHz, backing up to a WD My Passport Essential (1TB) via USB 2.0 (25% full)
    I can see the destination drive (and its contents) on my desktop, via Finder and can select it via TimeMachine System Preferences (Select drive).  There are no issues 'seeing' or accessing the drive in normal use.
    Trying to open the Time Machine application, I have tried via the TimeMachine icon in the TitleBar (ie 'Enter Time Machine'), via Mission Control (double-clicking on Time Machine),  typing 'Time Machine' into Spotlight and selecting it from the resulting list, but  in all scenarios, nothing happens.  Nothing at all.  And yet I can  backup to Time Machine without a hitch.
    I have seen a number of online conversations about the AFP spec having been changed by Apple and third party periphial manufacturers being slow to comply, but using USB, I'm not sure this applies to my case?  I have used Macs at home for 8 years and have never heard of AFP until now... So I don't really know if I am impacted by this or not (don't think so).
    There have been some troubleshooting solutions involving identifying and deleting the com.apple.timemachine.plist from the Library/Preferences folder (going from memory here) which I did (had to use PathFinder to find the file).
    Unfortunately that did not help and Time Machine still refuses to open.  There are no errors appearing as a result of trying to open TimeMachine.  I have checked the Console, but nothing obvious appears there.  I have read others are prompted with an error about AFP, but I get no such error.  I can copy files to the drive okay so I can't see how it is the drive.  Just Time Machine not wanting to play...
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    I do have Snow Leopard SuperDupered to another 320GB WD drive if I need to go back, but I don't really want to if I can help it...
    Thanks,
    Alex Makin

    Well finally, after 2 days of trying to work out what was the issue, I have resolved the problem.
    Its very strange given that I can successfully back up but not restore, as described in my original post.
    One thing I neglected to mention was the fact I had set up my Time Machine backup to use 'sparsebundles'.  This allows me to have the external drive plugged into my Airport Extreme and use much like Time Capsule.
    It didn't seem relevant at the time since I could backup successfully (and still now, I can't understand why Time Machine knows where to back up to, but doesn't know where to restore from).
    I didn't have the Time Machine icon sitting in my dock (never needed to since if I need to restore, I access TM from the TitleBar icon).  So in putting the TM app in the dock I played a little around with it by clicking it (as you would normally for any other app in the dock) and eventually held down the mouse key to bring up the menu.  Tried 'Enter Time Machine' a couple of times without luck, before trying a menu item along the lines of "Try another backup destination' and voila!! Time Machine opens, animated stars, vertical time line, etc.
    Well hang on now... Why the heck can't TM have worked this out already?? Why do I need to look somewhere else for my Time Machine backup, when I've already told TM (in System Preferences) where the backup is?
    Pretty darn odd, but there you have it.  It was there the whole time, but according to TM, it wasn't...
    I still have to select the menu item 'Try another backup destination' each time I want to enter TM, but at least I know where to find it...
    I'm assumming its the sparsebundles setting (which I'm sticking with), but at least I know its not my iMac, its not the hard drive, its not Lion (well, it sort of is as Snow Leopard knew where to find it...)

  • I have manually inputted data into a blank spreadsheet and would like to use a form to enter data into that sheet !!! How do I do that please

    I have manually inputted data into a blank spreadsheet and would like to use a form to enter data into that sheet !!! How do I do that please

    Leigh,
    After creating your table, Tap the Tab marked "+" and select "Form" - you will be asked which table to use. (You should get into the habit of naming your tables - if the table name isn't visible, select the table and tap the Styles (Brush) Menu > Table > Turn ON table Name, then double tap on the Table to edit it.)
    Select the table you wish to to fill with a form and you will see a new form based on the header data.
    The form will allow you to add one row at a time and when you get to the last row, there is an option at the bottom of the form to add a new row using the "+" button. At the top of the form is the row header which you can rename by double tapping.
    You can also rename the form on the Tab by double tapping on the name.
    Try it out.

  • How can I sync my Airline Roster into Calendar?

    I work for a very prominent airline as a Cabin Attendant.
    I would just like to know if I can sync or at least import my monthly roster/schedule into Calendar.
    I have already managed to sync my company email into Mail now I want to sync my monthly roster/schedule.
    I have tried "subscribing" various URLs that open my monthly roster/schedule (there are three places and ways in the company website where I can access my schedule) all did not work.
    what should I look for? what should I do?
    I am a mac beginner. I am using a configured macbook air 11" 2012 with Mountain Lion 10.8.1
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    You can sync by adding your 365 account under "Mail, Contracts, Calenders" "Add Account" then Outlook and finally enter your 365 email and password; the rest should happen automatically. Don't forget to go in to Sync settings in Outlook and click the things you want to sync.
