How do I add events to iCal from emails instead of Entourage

When I first set up my Pro last year I brought my Outlook data over to Entourage. I later discovered I liked Mail, iCal and Address Book better so converted over to these programs. I just upgraded to the new Office for Mac and now when I click a date / event in an email to let it add it automatically to iCal, Entourage starts up and wants to put the event there. I can't find any settings in iCal or Entourage that prevent Entourage from doing this. Am I missing something or do I need to uninstall just Entourage from my Pro?

In Mail preferences, is Mail or Entourage selected as the default mail reader?
The reason for the question is that since the calendar and email client are part of the same package with Entourage, if it is selected as primary, the calendar my get called by default.

Add event in iCal from Mail

I know there is a way to do this I just dont know how. Also, I need it to be only certain emails from a couple of senders, not every email they send with a date. Is there any way this can be done? I appreciate the help

Hello Alex,
I've been working on trying to get .vcs files from my email into iCal using Applescript, and have written a script that I can drop the .vcs files onto which will then import them into the calendar.... Here is a link to my post in the Applescript forum regarding this...
Tyson Brown, "Using Applescript to edit a .vcs file" #3, 12:46pm Nov 3, 2005 CDT
I THINK this will work to get you to the post. If not, let me know and I can drop you a copy of the script. I don't think the script will suit your needs "off the shelf" but I think there would only need to be one modification to it so that it will work for you.... Right now I have it set up to import the same event into two different calendars. All that needs to happen is for me to change it so that it only imports to 1 calendar. Let me know if you are not an Applescripter, and I will see if I can whip those changes off for you....

Creating Todo or Event in iCal from Email messages

Here is the workflow I would like to create -
I have a series of e-mail messages that I have placed in a folder called "Today" in Mail.
I want to copy the text of these messages, Then have that text placed in one ( or more) Todo items for today.
I seem to have been able to get the messages selected, text copied - but I don't see an automator item to create a new todo item. -
Ideally, I would be able to set an alarm on this, so that I can have iCal automatically notify me of a list of things I need to address today.
Any help??\ Thanks
Brian

I to have been wishing to figure out this process. I
have even tried to create an Applescript that would
open applications, however, I can't seem to program a
pretermined text or copy text and paste into iCal.
someone please find an answer, this would be great!
Automator can't do it, and You can't just cut + paste text into iCal. You need to make events and todos in a iCal calenader and set their properties. ie:
tell application "iCal"
activate
make new event at end of events of calendar 1 with properties {summary:"test"}
end tell
Look at iCal's AppleScript dictionary for syntax, and head to AS forum there are good people willing to help you.

I've just updated my iPhone 4 and now cannot add events in iCal. Anyone having the same problem? Thanks!

The SMS links thing is highly annoying. You don't have to copy/paste however. You should see an icon like this: (>) to the right of the text bubble with the link. Tap on that, the in the screen that opens, tap "Visit".
Alternatively, you can tap twice directly on the link, then hold your finger down after the second tap.
Still unnecessarily difficult, but not as bad as copy/paste.
What I don't get is why can't I find any mention of this change or how to fix it (if even possible) elsewhere online?

How can i add the value inputted from the prompt box to the mysql database?

Hey guyz help me pls with this problem... im only new to javascript and also to the opensource like(php and mysql). I tried to use a prompt box and store the value into the textbox. But now I want to know how to insert/add the value inputted from a prompt box directly into the database if it is possible.

Java is not JavaScript, they've got almost nothing in common (apart from superficial syntax similarities and the first 4 letters of their names).
If indeed your question is about JavaScript, then please find a JavaScript forum, as we can't help you here.

Can't add events in iCal on my ipad2 ...

Hi all ... don't have the plus symbol to add events in iCal. Tried quitting and reloading and a "hard reset". Any ideas? Thanks, in advance!

Go to Settings>iCloud>Calendar>On. Toggle it on and off. Leave it on if you want to sync with iCloud but then don't sync with your computer or you may get duplicate entries.
