How can I stop ical from deleting time information from event titles?

I sometimes like to put times (e.g., 10pm) in the titles of my events.  I do this because I want to see the time in the event title for certain events.  Apple's ical thinks it knows what I want (it doesn't!) and deletes this information from the title, probably to schedule the event at that time, which is ridiculous because I sent the time of the event when I create it.  This is especially annoying because I want the time in the event title for a reason.  I can't figure out how to turn this function off.  Apple, if you're reading this, please add an easy on/off switch to this "feature," (or better yet, remove it).  In the meantime, does anyone know how to get around this?

Enter them in a format that Calendar doesn’t recognize as a time.
Or go back and edit the title after it recognizes the date/time info.

  • How can I stop iCal from popping up for no reason ?

    Since today, my iCal is popping up as an opened application for no reason and I've had, up to now, to quit it 3 times. It's really annoying. I don't even use iCal anymore since I have BusyCal, which is a better version of iCal, but a totally different application.
    How can I stop iCal from popping up for no reason like that. Please, anyone, help me.

    What exactly is triggering this, are you clicking on some kind of file?

    When you quit firefox with tabs and windows open it "remembers".  When you start Firefox it tries to restore the tabs and windows you had open.

  • How can I stop other people copying my images from my web site.

    How can I stop other people copying my images from my web
    site.
    I use dreamweaver CS3 for the mac

    both are a waste of time. Fornication with a leaky condom.
    Pointless and not
    worth the effort. Or worse!
    the obfuscation JavaScript will get the site to not be
    listed in any search
    engines because they can't "see" the page or any links on it.
    You would be
    "protecting" the images but no one would find them.
    And all of those obfuscation JS things can be reverse
    engineered. In most
    cases- it's not worth it to prove it can be broken other than
    to prove it
    can be done. The images are nothing special in almost any
    site using one of
    those $29.95 applications.
    Have you done the basics? Turned off directory browsing or
    put a default
    index page in every folder? A few years ago i ran across a
    site with one of
    those block right click scripts on it. Dumb curiosity- opened
    a picture, and
    looked around the directory. All open directories. A block
    right click
    script and every folder on the site was open.
    /photos/private/girlfriend/hottub
    Nuff said. The blocking script made me curious enough to poke
    around the
    directories.

  • How can I stop the Mozilla Firefox Start Page from taking over my computer. I have reset the home page a half dozen times.

    For the past month, every time I open Firefox, the Mozilla Start Page (with Google in the middle) takes over my home page setting (NY Times). How can I stop this from happening?

    To the extent that I could, I tried the above, despite the lack of clarity at times. For example, how do the uninitiated find "sessionstore.js" and "sessionstore.bak" and the Firefox profile folder? Assuming that I eventually find them, what in the world does "check for problems" mean?
    There are many of us out here with limited to moderate computer sophistication, and more detailed suggestions would be much appreciated. I am in the moderate to high category, but much of your response was marginally useful, to be kind. Not to say that I don't appreciate what you have written.

  • How can I stop these weird inert file images from appearing on my desktop?

    Inert file images keep appearing and cluttering up my desktop with names such as: 3FV2JEQy.JPG.part;  9wA_fwAk.JPG.part;  MpxSEQgY.jpg.part   etc.
    It seems to me that they are related to viewing photos from emails with "Preview". (They could be photos from iPhoto also. I cannot be certain).
    My desktop fills up with these weird inert file images and I have to go thru and delete them to clear the mess on my desktop. How can I stop this from occurring??
    Many thanks.

  • How can I stop my iPad deleting gmails from their servers?

    I have an iMac and Mail with which I have happily been downloading mail from some gmail accounts.  I have the setting "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" unchecekd so, as I want, downloaded messages remain available on the gmail servers.
    However, now I have an iPad, I find that when that downloads an email from gmail, it deletes the server copy - which I do not want.
    But I can't find any setting on the iPad where I can stop this happening!
    The only work-round I can think of is to stop downloading gmails to my iPad, which rather defeats the purpose of having a mobile device!
    How can I ensure that copies remain on gmails servers unles and until I deliberately delete them?
    Thanks.

    Thanks, Diavonex, but that is already On and my iPad panel looks just like yours.  Is it possible that what I think is deletion is in fact merely the gmails moving somewhere else that I have yet to discover?
    I have been thinking about this, and I may be able to add more information which might help with a diagnosis.
    The accounts affected are IMAP accounts.  Now I confess here that I have no real idea what IMAP/POP accounts are, but it may be relevant.
    Also, on the iMac most if not all gmail emails get passed directly into user defined folders using Mail's Rules, so virtually none remain in my inbox.  Nor, for that matter, do I ever delete gmail emails off the iMac unless they are clearly junk.
    On the iPad, however, things are different.
    I do not use the iPad as my main device, and I use the emails received thereon for general review only, any real responses or work arising is done later back on the iMac.
    So, when I have read emails on the iPad, unless they require action before I get back home to the iMac, I tend to read - and then delete them.  They move to the iPad's Trash where they remain until I decide to have a purge of old deleted emails and then delete them from Trash.
    Could that be what is happening?  Is the act of deleting them off the iPad, either into Trash or later from Trash itself, be the cause of them being deleted from the gmail servers?
    Would setting Rules on the iPad (if indeed that is possible) so that gmails go direct into a folder other than my In-Box be a possible solution?
    A solution would also be, I suppose, not to download gmails to the iPad, but that would defeat the object of having a tablet, even though I use it more for information rather then action!

  • How can I stop Firefox asking to install things from its extension folder every time it starts up?

    This happens with both versions of Firefox 3.6.28 and 22. (I have removed the latest version because I had so much trouble with it and no, I don't want it back and I am fully aware of the dangers the old versions put me in, thank you!) I have tried to delete the things from the extension folder, but the items it is asking to install aren't in there.
    I am using XP with SP3.

    This can happen if you use the same profile folder with different Firefox versions (i.e. the version listed in compatibility.ini is different).<br />
    You should always use separate profiles for each Firefox version.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla/Multiple_Firefox_Profiles
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.

  • How can I stop iCal giving multiple event notifications?

    Fellow iCal users,
    I'm currently using iCal and MobileMe to share calendars with my wife and kids, very successfully to my surprise after years of not quite getting it set up right. But, I'm plagued by one very annoying behaviour when creating events using iCal on Mac OS X Lion (10.7.1) at least, as opposed to iOS devices, and can't seem to find a way to stop it.
    We have the service set to email new and changed events to the appropriate users so that everyone is aware of additions to the calendars. But here is what happens :-
    Create New Event  -  Everyone gets an email to say "New Event added"
    Give Event a name  -  Everyone gets an email to say "Event updated"
    Set a time for the Event  -  Everyone gets an email to say "Event updated"
    Set the correct calendar for the Event  -  Everyone gets an email to say "Event updated"
    So, in the 20 seconds it takes me to create and set the event, everyone get 4 emails as I'm doing so. Needless to say I'm doing this in one go, and not closing the event between operations. I can't see a logical reason why anyone would prefer such a behaviour, as opposed to a single email once all the parameters are set during the creation or modification of an event. I've trying changing the Preferences from "Push" to "Every X minutes", but that didn't make any difference.
    Any thoughts or suggestions gratefully received.
    Thanks,
    Simon

    I wish that I was replying with a solution. Alas, I am not. I am writing to commiserate. This issue is driving me and my husband (to whom all of the useless email notifications are being sent) completely bonkers.
    Help! Anyone?
    Anyone?

  • How can you stop photos being deleted

    Is there a way to stop photos being deleted from the iphone or ipad

    The way to block deleting photos from the phone is to set a passcode on the phone that operates immediately and/or not give the phone to anyone who would delete them.
    You can recover deleted photos if you previously backed them up by restoring the backup.  If not backed up (or imported to an app on your computer, they're gone permanently.

  • How can I programmat​ically detect transition times in a digital waveform

    Hi, I have a digital waveform and at certain times I have transistions and glinches , how can I programmatically detect and record the time stamps of the transitions
    Thanks  

    Let me see if I understand you. You are reading 14 bits in parallel and you want to know how long between transitions of just one of those bits - say bit 11. Is this bit number constant or can the number of the bit in which you are interested change?
    Well, you could XOR the value from each read of the digital bits with the 14 bits you got from the previous read. If the resulting value of bit 11 is true, the state of bit 11 has changed. Use that flag to read/restart an interval timer. Of course the resolution of your measurement will be dependent upon the rate at which you are reading the 14 bit input. If you are only sampling the 14 bits every 500 msec, you obviously won't be able to measure intervals of less than 1/2 sec.
