Have problem setting Email alerts for Calendar events. Warning message says I need to set up a card in Contacts with my email. I do but it doesn't recognize it. How do I indicate the email I want alerts sent to?

The system of setting up email alerts for Calendar events worked fine in Snow Leopard but since I upgraded to Mt. Lion Calendar won't let me set email alerts. When I try, I get an error message saying I need to set up a card in Contacts for my email. I have a card set up in Contacts for both of my email addresses but it doesn't recognize them. Perhaps the name I have on the card doesn't match a name that Calendar is looking for. Calendar doesn't seem to have a way in Preferences or elsewhere to indicate the email I want alerts sent to. Any ideas how I can get this system working again? Thanks for your help.

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
See if another contact is marked as this is my card.

    only way is to restore the phone as new.  OR wait until IOS 7 comes out in the fall.

  • I just installed 10.2.2. When I tried to start iTunes, I got the message that Rosetta needed to be installed to open iTunes. It downloaded and installed Rosetta but iTunes will not open and it no longer has the iTunes icon. What do I do now?

    I installed iTunes 10.2.2. When I tried to open it, I got the message that iTunes needs to install Rosetta to open. It then appeared to download and and install Rosetta. When I try to open iTunes, the icon bounces but iTunes does not open. The icon has also changed from the usual iTunes icon. What do I do now?

    I have a 2010 MBP15 which I do not use as much as my pc. When I do, I check for updates and I believe I updated iTunes to 10.2.2 a week or so ago. Since I still use iTunes primarily on my pc, I didn't bother firing up the updated iTunes on the mac.
    Last week, when I actually started iTunes on the mac, I got the message that Rosetta needed to be installed. Like abefighter I stalled. I surfed the net, read this thread to get some hints as to w** was going on.
    When I checked the system profile in the mac, I think it showed PowerPC for 'kind.' Surfing the Internet I found out Rosetta was something needed to help applications work on PowerPCs. But wait, since this MBP is an Intel, why would or should it be asking me for some stone-age plug-in that was never mentioned in all the previous updates for iTunes until now? Fyi, the iTunes icon on the dock had changed to what I think is an AppleWorks icon.
    So, I assumed that the update that resulted in my mac was corrupted. At first I scoured for 10.2.1, thinking that the last version was a dud, but in vain, nowhere to be found. I gave up and settled for a fresh 10.2.2. I did a casual delete, without touching any of the related personal preference files in my folder and it now which works fine. I'm glad I didn't jump to install Rosetta; I read elsewhere about someone who actually went through with the Rosetta install that resulted unhappily.
    Unless the mac in question is a PowerPC, I would doubt the need for Rosetta installation.

  • How do I prevent calendar from sending email notifications for calendar events?

    Right now I have my google calendar synced with iCloud.  This is great for me to add things either on my Mac, through the web on iCloud or Google Calendar, or my iphone.  The problem is that I am getting notifications through email that I do not want.  These are not google notifcations but those sent out through my MacBook Pro calendar/mail applications.  How can I stop this from happening?  I want to keep the phone notifications because that's what I need.  The emails just take more of my time up since I need to delete them. 

    Figured it out - in System Prefernces, under "Users & Groups", you can remove individual "Login Items"

  • HT3669 Unable to run the HP All-in-One Installer for LJ 3055 -- Error message says I need to install Rosetta

    I have an HP LJ 3055 All-in-One.  Previously, I haven't used it connected to my Mac (i.e., only in 'standalone' mode).  I now want to use the unit's software for faxing and scanning purposes.
    However, when I insert the CD that includes the HP All-in-One Installer, I see an error message saying:
    "To open LaserJet AIO Installer, you need to install Rosetta.  Would you like to install it now?"
    I assume this is related to the CD's having been produced contemporaneous with Tiger, not Snow Leopard -- though I have no idea why it's prompting about Rosetta, since this is a Macintosh installation CD.
    Can anyone inform me what I need to do to install the software (i.e., to run the installer) under Snow Leopard, so that I can access the All-in-One's functions via the Mac?
    Thanks.  Replies appreciated.

    Thanks.  It wasn't (and still isn't) clear to my why I was getting the prompt about installing Rosetta.  While using the unit with Tiger, I never saw anything about a need for Rosetta (i.e., nothing indicating that any of the software on the CD was pre-Intel).
    Printing continues to be available from the Mac but nothing else is supported via the computer.  Scan, fax and copy are available only directly from the unit.
    Funny that this can happen with a unit that continues to work perfectly well, without a hitch.  You'd think that OS upgrades would, if anything, enhance software control of a unit -- rather than eliminate it completely.
    ★ Is there any reason to think that going the 'Rosetta' route would restore the lost functionality (in 10.6.8)? ★
    Thanks.
    The reason you were getting the prompt about installing Rosetta now is because Rosetta was automatically installed on OS X 'Tiger' 10.4 and 'Leopard' 10.5. HP didn't mention it as a requirement, because at the time, it was already there and invisible.
    Rosetta became an optional install on OS X 10.6, because (I presume) the number of programs and devices still using pre-2006 PowerPC code and thus needing Rosetta, was in steady decline. Why add extra clutter to (this is my guesstimate) 85% of the Macs running Snow Leopard that DO NOT need Rosetta?
    In my opinion, it cannot hurt to install Rosetta now.
    Only programs (your HP drivers) that REQUIRE Rosetta will even attempt to use it.
    The scan fax and copy functions don't work now with Snow Leopard, so at worst, they still won't work.
    You can always delete Rosetta again if you need the disk space.

    If I correctly understand how Rosetta worked, it created an emulation environment in which certain software (including 'multifunction printer' drivers) would work, the implication being that these software products were not specifically written for the Mac OS.
    However, wouldn't those drivers still also have to be supported by the Mac's currently-installed OS in order to work -- as they were in Tiger and Leopard (but are not in Snow Leopard)?

  • Setting a profile for calendar event

    I would love to be able to set a certain profile for a calendar item. Surely with everything a BB can do it do this and I am just missing the setting.
    Any help?  Thanks,
    Randy

    I doubt if you can have such a profile setting. But, you can use the car hands-free to use voice-dialling, instead of scrolling up to the contacts to make calls. Also, you can set up the hands-free profile to answer calls automatically  (Settings -> Enhancements -> Car kit -> Auto answer = on). This means, once you connect your phone to the car-kit, you will be able to answer calls without pressing any buttons - neither in the phone or in the car-kit.

  • I have changed my Apple ID primary email but it doesn't seem to make any difference to the email that comes up as my Apple ID when I try to update my apps.Still getting my old email details

    I have changed Internet providers and have finally managed to update my primary email details under the Apple ID manage your account area.
    However my old email details are still showing up when I try to update my apps etc. Can anyone please tell me what else I have to do to change my Apple ID. It seemed that I had already successfully done this but obviously not. I have an iPad 2

    Did you change the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID? Tap the old ID and sign out and then sign in with the new one. If not running iOS 6 it will be Settings>Stores>Apple ID.

  • Is there a way to set an alert for every event in a single calendar?

    Hi all,
    Is there a way to globally set an event in just one of the calendars showing in iCal?
    For example, I have a "Birthday" Calendar with a bunch of birthday events.  I want to set the alert for all of them to, say, noon, without having to edit each and every one.
    Thanks!
       Greg

    To generally add an alarm to all events in a specific calendar you would need to program an Automator Workflow that passes all events of the calendar to an Applescript that adds the alarm.
    For your birthdays problem is a predefined solution iCal: If you enter the Birthdays on the cards in your Address Book, and enable the "Show Birthdays Calendar Flag", then you will receive automatic email notifications of upcoming birthdays.

    OK I just transitioned to MacMail, iCal, and Mac address book.  Goodbye Outlook, It was great for 18 years and painful for the last year.  Microsoft is losing share with subpar software development.

    Week Cal uses the calender database already on your phone. It's just a different front end.

  • I am looking for an app that can unmute my iphone after a preset time, eg 1 or 2 hours. Does anybody know an app with this feature?? The apps I have found are linked to a calendar or a place, I just need the timer function..

    I am looking for an app that can unmute my iphone after a preset time, eg 1 or 2 hours. Does anybody know an app with this feature?? The apps I have found are linked to a calendar or a place, I just need the timer function..

    thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
    I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
    thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

  • IOS 7 Calendar alerting for past events

    Has anyone else experienced this ...
    At 9:30 this morning (03-Oct) I got an alert for an event from last week (26-Sep).
    Then at 10:00 I got an alert for another event from last week (26-Sep).
    Upon examining the events, I saw the alerts set as:
    9:30 event – alert 1 = one week before
    10:00 event – alert 1 = 1 day before, alert 2 = 1 week before
    After upgrading to iOS7 I set the default calendar alert to "1 week before" – that might explain why the second event's alert 2 is set earlier than alert 1.
    But it doesn't explain the "you were supposed to be doing this last week" alert popping up.
    Any thoughts (other than some date arithmetic gone awry)?

    iPilot1 - after I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 I got an even bigger surprise - the default alert time for any new event I created was "7 days after". I kid you not. At the top of the list of options, before "None".
    However I just went back to the Calendar settings to check the default alert time, and nothing was ticked.
    I chose "1 week before", and Hey Presto, new events default to "1 week before".
    Of course, I won't know this has worked for sure until I get an alert.
