How can I determine how many events are in my calendars?

The web version of my iCloud Calendar and subsequently also my Calendar.app did show recently various malfunctions and error messages that were inconsistant. Also, Calendar.app crashed when I was editing events. Finally, Calendar.app did complain that my iCloud account would be out of quota, and did direct me to this KB article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489
I did not know about these quotas before which are not really high and quite limiting for use over longer periods of time. After checking them, I think that my real data are below these limits. However, there might be one exception:
- Total number of calendars, events, and reminders: 25,000
25,000 sounds a lot, but when you devide by 6 events per day (which is easily reached if you combine family and buisness, and maybe repeated events also count for each repetition at least after editing), one ends up at 4200 days which is not much more than 11 years. I am using Calendar with data since the year 2000 (for some time I used Palm Desktop that took over the (very) old Mac Calendar application and imported/moved the data when iCloud Calendar became available).
My questions:
- how can I determine the number of events in my calendars?
- which events do count in which way for the quota limit?
- what about events from shared calenders - do they count if owned by another account?
- what about repeated events which are partially edited?
Thanks in advance for any hint!

Hi there
I ran into the same problem last year. The solution I used is available here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1693875
Apple don't seem keen to tell you you've reached your limit and if you think that isn't helpful tough luck. I reached due to duplicate events being created. I didn't know what had happened until I eqnuired further on the above forum. Someone needs to create an event counter application. Perhaps they have. Would need to do a search.
However I've now reached the limit again and I'm not sure why, cue more faffing around being required. That's one of the problems of using a Mac computer with an Android phone.
As for the limit, it exists and if you dont like it you need to change the way you work not Apple. That's the impression I get. Alternatively use something else that has more generious limts. I don't know what that would be. I did consider moving my calendars to Google but it would have meant certain functionality would not work in BusyCal, the third part calendar application I use on my Mac computer.

ICal Lion is infuriating. How can I add a new event in a chosen calendar without having to create it in my default then edit it?

iCal Lion is infuriating. How can I add a new event in a chosen calendar without having to create it in my default then edit it?

We are all entitled to our own opinions. So I respect you there brother
But then again, Apple has its own basis. iOS is what's selling like pancakes not Macs, so if the gazillions out there are using iOS device and have gotten used to the calendar in their iOS devices. Wouldn't you think it made sense if Lion has the same calendar look and feel?
Everything was considered and weighthed when they developed Lion. They even mentioned it in the press, They were blown away with the success of iOS so they are extending it to OSX.
Quite frankly, I like the old iCal but yeah I don't expect anything in SL to stay in Lion otherwise it'll be another Cat name related to Leopard
People should start looking at this perspective and not get STUCK in the old OS.

How can i determine how much data an app is using

on an iphone5, how can i determine how much data an app is using and or which apps are the biggest data users? do all apps always use wifi when a wifi is connected or do some apps still use cellular data even if wifi is connected?

Try Settings > General > Usage > Storage > check here.
To test if app is using cellular data instead of Wi-Fi, switch Airplane mode: ON and switch Wi-Fi: ON manually.

How can i copy and paste events in my icloud calendar?

how can i copy and paste events in my icloud calendar?

What I do, since I have shifts with same times just different daily, is make an event for the shift. Then on the repeat option, choose custom, and then monthly choose the days I want to copy the event to. Then on the end date option I choose the end of that month, so it essentially doesn't repeat, more of the copy and paste effect. Hope this helps, cheers.

How can I determine if PeopleSoft Queries are used in Crystal Reports

One PeopleSoft user requested that we delete 118 Queries. How can we determine if any of these Queries are being used in Crystal Reports?

Why? How would the user know, or even care, if the queries exist?
It is not the concern of a user whether such queries exist or not. If your system has a security flaw that allows non-privileged users to executed those queries then you need to fix that flaw.
Remove the privileges that the user has on those queries and then, for that user, the queries will not exist.

How can I determine how many days are left on an evaluation Enterprise license key?

I am using the evaluation key available for SP 2010 enterprise. However, I would like to be able to determine how many days remain before it expires.
Is there a page/link/powershell command/etc. for getting that information?
Thank you.

well, I am surprised - and a bit disappointed - that there isn't powershell commands that report the situation.
But, I can manually go through one machine to find the info, then figure out manually or via some web app when the deadline is.
I would have thought if Microsoft wanted people to convert an eval to a commercial license so they would make the information appear on the front of central admin

How can I determine how long it take the lab view circuit to execute once?

I'm working on a temperature control labview simulation that works with an external temperature device and I have my labview stimulation set up so that I can turn a external light on or off (which is in a chamber) and the temperature is measured inside that chamber and I displayed versus time in the labview x-y graph. I can internally turn the heat source (the light) on or off and see the waveform change. Now the information that is being displayed on the waveform is also being saved to a data file. And I noticed that as soon as I run the stimulation of the circuit on the first input into the labview while loop is from the data file. now the first execution of the simulation will start as soon as the data files sends an input into the while loop and the second execution of the labview loop will happen the next time the data file inputs something into the while loop of labview. Now, by using circuitry inside the while loop, how can I record the actual time of the initial input (into the while loop) along with the time of the second input into the loop so that I can determine how long it take for one execution in labview will take.

One thing to keep in mind about the Tick Count VI. It uses the ms clock from the CPU which rolls over back to zero after it reaches an upper limit. You might end up getting very large negative values if you subtract the current value from the last value.
Once every 39 (?) days that can happen but are you sure abou the large negative thing?
I seem to remember Rolf saying that the math takes care of itself. A quick experiment confirms that memory.

How can I determine how many pages my Laserjet 1020 printer has printed in its lifetime?

I am trying to be proactive in determining whether I need to plan to replace my Laserjet 1020 printer. I know that I have seen printouts from resellers/refurbishers which show the number of pages that a printer has printed in its lifetime. I am just trying to figure out how to get this information from my printer so that I can see how much life it has left. Can anyone tell me how to generate this report?
Thanks!!

Hi davesuff,
You should be able to view the pages printed by going into the driver. Let me know if this works?

How can I determine how much time I'm actually getting from 1 charge?

Lol, I know this question may sound dumb (and I'm pretty sure I'm not )
....but I couldn't think of any other way to word it. I know that the battery meter displays the projected remaining time, but that is constantly fluctuation, and it's not what I'm looking for. I'm wondering if there's some sort of application that can take record or notes of x time I'm getting from x battery. Perhaps a way to track the average usage per charge or something like that? Anyone know of any?

As far as I remember it's not possible. Thus, find attached VI and use it to convert line/column to excel cell format. It's working if you are not using more than 26 columns (i.e. column AA, AB, ... if this is the case you have to improve it a little)
Hope this helps

HT201299 How can I determine how much data is left on my iPad?

I would like to access info on my iPad showing current data usage and remaining data usage. Where do I find that info?

Depends on what you mena by data usage. If you are referring to the amount of storage space left you can go Settings->General->Usage
If you mean Cellular Data Plan usage, you can go to
Settings->Cellular Data->Account should have that information.

How can I confirm that my extensions are compatible with FF ver 4 and ver 5 before I upgrade?

When I have upgraded in the past I have been affected by extensions that do not work in the new version. How can I determine if my extensions are compatible with new versions. I have looked at knowledge base and other help but I can find nothing.

Thanks, Forewarned is forearmed.
Checking my incompatible extensions now seems to be less than when I just casually reviewed the list. Perhaps authors are still updating their products.
Most of my incompatible extensions are not critical. Perhaps the most important is AARDVARK which I use extensive prior to printing bank statements.
My incompatible extensions are:
Aardvark
Colourful Tabs
Image ToolBar
MS .NET Framework Assistant
Quick Page Zoom
Rewind/Fastforward Buttons

I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

You should never lose contacts under any circumstances.
Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer where such important data should be available with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on a cell phone for such important data which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
In addition, there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air including an iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
If you are not syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account and not backing up your iPhone wirelessly with your iCloud account, your iPhone's backup is being updated by iTunes on your computer which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express and by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. With a Mac, contacts can be synced with the Address Book app. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If the supported address book app on your computer is not used and has no contacts available, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

How can can I determine where email templates are used?

How can can I determine where email templates are used?
Here is a SQL query which was recently provided in response to a YES! question.

     defevent de,
     defemailtemplate demt,
     defeventtrigger det,
     defproject dp,
     defservice ds,
     defarea da
where
     det.objectid = 21 and
     det.objectinstid = dp.projectid and
     de.eventid = det.eventid and
     demt.emailtemplateid = det.templateobjectinstid and
     ds.serviceid = dp.ownerinstid and
     da.areaid = ds.areaid
2. E-mails attached to all delivery plan tasks:
select
     da.Name as ServiceGroupName,
     ds.Name as ServiceName,
     dt.Name as TaskName,
     de.LogicName as Event,
     demt.name as EmailTemplateName
from

     defemailtemplate demt,
     defeventtrigger det,
     deftask dt,

     defarea da
where
     det.objectid = 46 and
     det.objectinstid = dt.taskid and
     de.eventid = det.eventid and
     demt.emailtemplateid = det.templateobjectinstid and
     dp.projectid = dt.projectid and
     ds.serviceid = dp.ownerinstid and
     da.areaid = ds.areaid
3. E-mails attached to all approval tasks:
select
     da.Name as ServiceGroupName,
     ds.Name as ServiceName,
     dwsr.Subject as ApprovalReviewStep,
     de.LogicName as Event,
     demt.name as EmailTemplateName

     demt.emailtemplateid = det.templateobjectinstid and
     ds.serviceid = dwsr.ownerid and
     da.areaid = ds.areaid

Just add a line to the "where" clause to specifiy which service(s) you want to run this for rather than for the whole catalog:
--By Service Name
ds.Name = "My Service Name"
--By Service ID (Multiple services can be returned.)
ds.ServiceID IN ('1', '2', '3')
