How do I set up a default account for my calendar events?

I have multiple gmail accounts and want to set up one of them as the default account when I create a new calendar event.

Never mind. Found my answer. Sometimes all you have to do is type it - then you can figure it out!

HT4897 How do I set up an email account for my wife?

How do I set up an email account for my wife in icloud?

iCoud email accounts are tied to iCloud accounts. If she has her own iOS device go to to Settings>iCloud and set up an iCloud account. This will generate an corresponding iCloud email address.

Why am I getting double popup alerts for Google Calendar events on iPhone?

This is happening on both mine and my wife's iPhones (mine is a 4 and hers is a 3GS) which are both on the latest iOS (6.0.1). This is what I've figured out:
On iPhones: Default is to set no alerts/reminder for calendar events
On Google Calendar: Default is to set a popup alert 1 hour before event & email 1 hour before event
When I create a new event on my iPhone: It saves with no alerts set, then after uploading to google calendar it shows as having two alerts 1 hour before the event. If I go into Google Calendar, it shows that 1 popup and 1 email are each set for 1 hour before the event.
When I create a new event on in Google Calendar: It saves with 1 popup and 1 email are each set for 1 hour before the event per the default settings. If I go to my iPhone, it shows that I have 2 alerts, both for 1 hour before the event.
So it seems that the iPhone is seeing both the popup and email alerts and creating two popup alerts on my phone!
Is there anyway to fix this? I've tried setting up the calendar on my iPhone through Gmail account, Exchange account and CalDav account and it's all the same.

I figured it out. It has to do with which calendars you want displayed. Duplications come from multiple calender selections.

How do I set up an email alert in calendar...

I use iCal on both iPad and iMac; I would like the option to have an email sent to me by way of a reminder for some appointments but when I try to set this up on my iMac I get a message saying that I need to have a card in Contacts with my details on; in Contacts there is a card with my full details on it and my name in the list has a grey silhouette beside it, siginifying that I am the main user. I'd welcome a clue as to how to set this up; I'm sure I've done it before but can't now find anything which will guide me through.

peeyar,
Click on your card in Contacts, then select Contacts>Card>Make This My Card.
If that is not successful, delete, and recreate your card. Then once again make sure to designate it "Make This My Card."

How can I set my default email address for meeting invitations?

As I was adding a friend's and my lunch appointment in my calendar, I noticed an option to invite attendee. So I invited her and she accepted successfully. My question is that when I invited her, the invitation came from an alternate yahoo email address that I don't use often. I tried to switch the invitation to show it coming from my primary gmail address but couldn't figure out how to do it.
Any advice? Thanks!

How can I set a specific email notification for an email sent to a distribution list I am a member of?

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7. For my job I need to be able to have my phone to get notificaitons from work. I need to be able to have a notification for emails sents to distribution lists that I am a part of. Basically I need to be able to set the notification based on the Sent To: field and not the From: field. Anyone have any ideas?

Create the group. Drag in the folks you want to include in the group. Right click on the group and choose "Edit Distribution List" and a window will pop up showing which addresses are selected in bold, and those that are not selected in plain text. Just click on the emails you want to use and it switches the selected address.

How do I set up my email accounts for my three email addresses plus my iCloud address so they are deleted after 2 weeks

I am a Mac iPhone, iPad2 and an iMac user and need a good way to erase messages on all of the devices so I don't have to do it on all three. I thing there is a good way to do it under 'mail preferences' but haven't figured it out yet.
Thanks for your help - Susan

Under advanced settings in each of the mail accounts, there should be an option to remove deleted messages after one day, one week, one month. To get to the setting differs a little depending on the email account. But it goes something like this: Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar. Tap name of applicable account. Tap "Account". Tap "Advanced". Tap "Remove".

How do i set up an email address for an hp photosmart 7510/c311a.

it looks like an email address was an assigned during printer setup - or if it was, i can't find it. the printer is a photosmart 7510 / c311a. when i go to the eprint center to create an account, i get a forbidden -403 error message. any guidance would be much appreciated?

These steps typically resolve the issue:
1. Press the ePrint button on the printer's front-panel screen (top row of icons, far left button), then press "Print Report".
2. Head over to the ePrintCenter website (http://www.eprintcenter.com/), and log in (or sign up for a new account if you don't have one).
3. Click the "+Add Printer" button and enter the printer code from the ePrint info page (“Print Report” page from step 1). Create a customized ePrint email address.
I just viewed the website on my computer, and it appears to be working okay on my end. It's possible that there's a setting in your web browser responsible for what you're seeing. I would recommend trying the following steps:
1. Try to view the site in a different web browser to see if that's the issue. Normally, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all display the website properly. Try one or two of those (other than the one you've been using) and it should do the trick.
2. If that doesn't work, try resetting Internet Explorer's default settings by clicking "Tools" (on the top menu bar), "Internet Options" (usually at the bottom of that list), "Advanced" (far-right tab), and "Reset" (towards the bottom-right of that box). After resetting the defaults, try viewing the ePrint Settings area again.

How can I set up and email address for my grandson without giving him general access to the internet? email only

My grandson's school needs him to have his own email address. For some reason, his is not able to use my address. I do not want him to have general access to the internet. His older brother caused my computer to be infected with a virus in a very short time. It took three weeks and one hundred dollars to get the use of my computer back.
I do not want him to have access to the internet, but his school wants him to have an email address to communicate with him about school work. I am concerned that once he has an email address, someone (not the school) will send him a web site address in a message and he will be able to just click on it to get into the internet.

You can use an email program (e.g. Outlook Express or Windows Live or Thunderbird) and disable HTML for that email (text only mode) to access the email account. You can create a new email account if your your ISP supports it or use a online service that allows POP3 access with an email program (most popular services allow that).

How do I set up an email for face time and Game Center for my child's ipod

How do I set up an email account for my sons iPod so he can do face time and Game Center with friends?

I would create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. You have to do it in your mane if he is not yet 13.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then use that account for Settings>FaceTime and Gamecent
If yo want it can also be used for:
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive to allow him to Message
- Settings>iCloud to allow him to have his own calendar and contacts
Continue to use the common ID for Setting>iTunes and App Stores

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.

BODS 3.1 : How to trigger an email alert for the jobs on BODS server ?

Hi All.
I have this request.
BODS 3.1 : How to trigger an email alert for the jobs on BODS server ?
We have jobs scheduled on BODS running smoothly and absolutely fine.
But to check, i am logging into the admin console and check for the jobs status.
I would like to have an email to be received from BODS after each job is finished.
It could succuessful. Or it could fail.
Whatsoever, i wish to receive an email alert as soon as a job is finished.
Can anyone advise me as to whether this could be made possible.
And if yes, how this could be done.
Thanks for your help in advance.
In BOE CMC / for webi / schedule / we find an option to send email for a job success or a job failure.
Is there any option similar to that in BODS ?
Also would like to know :
how to use the smtp_to or mail_to functions ?
how to set up the smtp server for this ?
thanks

Hi.
Since am new to this BODS. I need some help.
I already have many jobs which are running absolutely fine.
And when a job runs, and finishes, am able to see the trace saying
e.g. :
Job_abc is completed successfully.
We got the smtp service activated for our test server.
and we hae a group email id.
I have put the details of the smtp server / ip address / and said apply restarted.
The i created a simple test script as below :
print (' Before email ' );
smtp_to('abc@company_name.com', 'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has FAILED',
' the job has failed', 0, 0);
print('After Email ');
It does send a email to as per smtp_to whatever email is specified.
But how to differentiate between a job success
And a job which has failed.
I wish to have a mail which says on the subject :
'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has completed successfully'
==> IF it is a success
OR
'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has failed'
==> if it has failed
How to make the system identify, whether
to send a success message or a error message whatever
Could anyone advise.
thanks

How can I set up an email user as "send-only" (no mailbox for receiving)?

Can anyone tell me how I can set up an email account that can send emails but not receive emails.
Our Web application has been using a generic email address "[email protected]" in all of our PHP Web applications as the sending email account. I have this user set up in WORKGROUP ADMIN as a proper account. However the account gets tons of SPAM emails and is constantly filling up.
Also, all of the email accounts require SMTP authentication to send emails.
Is there any way to identify an account as a send only account so we can generate emails from our Web applications that cannot be replied to?
Thanks for the help
-- Jon

Doing so will cause issues. If you send out mail which to an outside server appears to be non existent, mail may be rejected and you may even be blacklisted.
You can remove the account from WGM and add a role account as an alias send to /dev/null. This will look to the outside world like an existing address, but simply be discarded on your system. You should however include a working address in your mailings for people to be able to respond.
Assuming you use local domains, edit /etc/postfix/aliases and add:
noreply: /dev/null
(you can change noreply with the sender used in your PHP apps, but I'd probably change the PHP apps to use noreply as this signals to people receiving your mails that this address is unattended).
When done, issue:
sudo postalias /etc/postfix/aliases
sudo newaliases
sudo postfix reload

How can I set up 2 email accounts in Mail

It's me again.
I'm trying to set up Mail 2.1.3. in 10.4.11. I have 2 email accounts. I can enter one just fine but it won't take another. When I try, it says that I "already have a POP account". How do I set up 2 email accounts? I see where I can enter the 2 email addresses by separating them by a comma. But the 2 addresses have different passwords and the password box takes only one password at a time. Any ideas?

It's hard for me to tell by what has been written so far, but it may be referring to what you are entering for the account description. That is, in Mail Prefs > Accounts > Acct Info, for each account it has several entries: Acct Type (that you can't change), Description, email address, full name. If the first account's description is POP, then make the second account's description POP2. I use terms like, "home", "work", and "school" for my accounts' descriptions.
If this is not what is going on, please write down every step you do, and every entry you make, as you try to configure your second email account and post it back here. Naturally, do NOT disclose your actual email address(es) or mail account login name or its password to us here.
