    You set up reminders in the Reminders app.

  • How do I set birthday reminders without having to create a separate contact card for each person in a family?

    I'm trying to set birthday reminders in iCal based on the birthday field in Contacts. But in order to create separate birthday entries for individuals in the same family, you have to set up a separate card for each person. Anyway around that?

    Thank you to johnbeardy, Anthony.Ralph and Rob for your replies.  The OP (I guess that's me, Maps Man) has been happy with CS since CS2. I have upgraded etc and used it successfully.  Unfortunately, I have recently up graded my camera as well but CS5 would not read the new RAW files.  My natural inclination was to look at a CS upgrade but Adobe effectively priced me out. It obviously is not interested in amateur hobbyists anymore perhaps because they don't produce enough cash for Adobe.   Even the new "Cheap" offer they are offering is still very pricey as well as being ongoing for life. I looked at a variety of alternatives including Elements, Lightroom and DxO Pro 8.  In the meantime I used a combination of Nikon's ViewNX2 to judge my uploads off camera then Adobe DNG Converter to change them to DNG and back to CS5 for the fun bit.  Rightly or wrongly, I decided that Lightroom was the least objectionable both for cost and user friendliness.  And I do like the results I get using it.  I can now go back to coming straight out of camera, do a substantial amount of edit work and go directly to CS5 for final touches such as size and frame (perhaps Lightroom does that also but I have not yet found how!  Time will tell.)  It is just that I find the first part so annoying.  I do not mind organisations giving us suggestions (e.g. Catalogues) I just find it a nuisance that I cannot say "Thanks, but no thanks it is too complicated for what I want."  As for using it "properly" it is debatable whether Adobe's engineers have done it "properly" if they don't give that choice.  After all, CS5 etc does not need catalogues to work well so why should Lightroom's catalogues be "proper?" 
    Obviously I will be sticking with Lightroom and I will try to find my way round the problem.  I had hoped that there may have been some way to customize it for my needs but there does not seem to be.
    Thank you again for your comments.

  • How can I set the Reminders app so that it does not shown my AppleID password as the header for my lists on my desktop or laptop screen?!?

    My Reminders app which I sync with iPad shows my AppleID password as a heading for my lists when I have it open on my screen of my laptop or desktop. The iPad does not reveal the password the same way. Desktop is not so worrisome, but I don't understand why this would happen and is especially weird if I have the app open in public on my laptop.  Is this a default? What do I do to make sure the list does not show by password?  I understand that sharing the Reminders via the iCloud may cause a need to show what Reminder lists are being shared between a device and laptop, but why not a user name instead of the PASSWORD!!!?

    Where in the Reminder's window are you seeing the password.  Here's what my Reminder's window looks like?
    That's Reminders V2.0 on 10.9.4.

  • How do I set a reminder to repeat every 2 months in Reminders program?

    How do I set a reminder to repeat every 2 months in Reminders program? The program allows you to set a reminder to repeat every 2 weeks, but it doesn't allow give you much freedom if you want to set it to repeat, every 2 months or every 3 months, or every few days, etc.
    Can someone advise how I can set up a reminder (To Do) to repeat every 2 months?
    Thanks,

    unfortunately you can only use the predetermined time lenght's in the reminder app (hour, day, week ,month ,year) and so on. You could either set it to remind you monthly or you could set it up as an event in your calendar as it is a bit more customizable on time

  • How do I set up a recurring calender?

    How do I set up a recurring calender that I can export to others for my work. It is a 7 day on, 7 day off roster always starting on Tuesday and ending on Monday. So... to be clear....
    Start Days
    Tuesday 6am to 6pm. repeat for 7 days ending on Monday.
    Off for 7 days.
    Start Nights
    Tuesday 6pm to 6 am. repeat for 7 nights ending on Tuesday morning at 6am
    Off for 7 nights
    Maybe a script would work.
    I am trying to learn how to write this so any expanation would help.
    Thanks for your time and G'day from Australia.

    Hi,
    The iCal interface will not let you add this without creating 14 events that repeat every 4 weeks. iCal can show repeats of events that it is not possible to enter trough its user interface though.
    I wrote the script below to add two events to iCal. You will want to change the settings in the first few lines. Currently it will make events called "Work Shift" in your "Home" calendar  starting at 6pm on the 14th Feb 2012.
    As far as I can see, the minimum number of events to make the repeat you'd want is 2. Each repeats every 4 weeks, for seven days starting on Tuesday. The repeats are set in the recurrence property below using the text from the the rRule variable, (which conforms to the  Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification, but that is more than you possibly need, or want, to know).
    One thing to note is that previous versions of iCal did not display events which spanned midnight correctly and you would not see the part after midnight. This appears to be fixed in Lion.
    There are some additional notes in the script.
    Copy the text below into Applescript Editor, change the settings you want in the first few lines and press Run.
    Best wishes

  • How do I set up shared reminders?

    I need to set up a few Reminder Lists that are shared between several users.  How do I set this up and designate lists as shared?  How do I designate who can see them?

    well, you can use cyradmin to take a look at the other shared folders on the server side without changing anything. i'm going to guess that's the way the shared folder was setup in the first place.
    of course, this begs the question: why does this client/company share 45 gb of sent mail in this fashion, and how could they better use technology and/or resources for their needs?
    it sounds like yet another gross misuse of mail standards. just because you can share that huge pile of mail data doesn't mean you should.

  • How can I set up the repeat of a reminder on iCloud?

    IOS5 allows repeats to be set for reminders. I cannot see how to do it in iCloud however. iCloud includes a repeat field in the Calendar appointments create/edit form but not in the Reminder create/edit form. I've checked the iCloud online help but nothing is mentioned about setting the repeat of a reminder. Thanks.

    Thanks for the response. This doesn't work for me. The "alert" field appears when I assign a due date to a Reminder on icloud.com but the repeat option does not appear. I have since found this reference to it http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4861?viewlocale=en_US confirminng that icloud.com does not supports repeating Reminders. In fact reminders on the iCloud,com, IOS5 and Outlook platforms gives me the impression that this app is "work in progress". There are different basic features missing on all the platforms. Outlook appears to have a problem syncing edits to recurring tasks (which is what Outlook converts an iclouds reminder into) via the iCloud Add-on as duplicate recurring tasks appear after the sync with iCloud. Another annoying problem is that the priority of IO5 reminders do not show up in any views. I hope improvement will be rushed out quickly. Thanks once again for trying to help.

  • TS1741 When I try to set-up my Apple TV all the instructions are in German.  How do I set the default language to English?

    Hi jvm2221,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing, and/or how you are currently crating your reminders. If you are having issues creating reminders that have the correct date, you may want to make sure you are following the steps outlined in the following article:

  • How do I set a reminder for the last day of every month

    Have I missed something? But how do you set a reminder for the last day of every month to recurr indefinatley in iOS6? Sorry if this is really simple but I just can't seem to work it out. Any help gratefully received.

    Hey Mattye88 not sure if you have seen but actully you can do this, but for some reason you have to use Siri.  If you bring up Siri and say "set a reminder ever 4 weeks from next wednesday to check the gas meter" it will set one and it will work just fine, I have reminders to water a Bonsai every three days and it works fine it just shows as custom repeat on the user interface.  Alas it seems you can not use Siri to set one for the end of the month though which is why I am in this threed.  Still hope it helps you to know how to sort this problem atleast.
