How do I set up travel time in Calendar?

I have set up several events and included the event address.  When I click on the travel time box, the gear spins for a second or two and quits.  I then have a pull down that allows me to select an arbitrary amount of time.  Also, there doesn't seem to be any way to look at directions which I thought was an advertised feature.
Thanks for any assistance/adcive to can

Roger make sure you have location services turned in in System Preferences / Privacy and make sure the Calendar is checked.
As a test, I turned mine off and then I saw the same problems on the Calendar as you described. Once your turn them on, you should be able to add locations and a map will appear at the bottom of the screen where you edit the event details. You can double click the map to open Maps and get directions.
Stephen. In reply to this:
Some events give me the Travel Time option, but only from "Work" and not "Home".  My actual work events don't give me the Travel Time option, maybe because iCal thinks I am already there?
I played around for a bit and think I found an answer. If I have no events on a day and I schedule one for anytime until 6:00pm, it will give the travel time from Work. If I add an event or change the time to 6:01pm or later, it will give the travel time from home.
If there are other events with locations already on the calendar and I add a new event reasonably close to one of them, it will give the travel time from the location of the previous event.
I haven't found a way to change the "from" location without adding another event or just typing in a travel time manually, but overall the automated system works pretty good.

  • How do I set the default time for calendar alerts?

    How do I set the default time for calendar alerts? I always want to have an alert 15 minutes before my appointments. I don't want to have to manually set it each time I make an appointment (I just moved to iphone from a windows mobile where this was basic stuff so I apologise if this is a noob question).

    I have the same issue. I've searched these forums and found lots of people who have asked this same question, but nobody who has received an answer.
    About a year ago, I migrated from a Windows PC and a Blackberry (both of which had very simple default alert options) to a MacBook Pro and an iPhone and have yet to find a solution on this forum or from any of my Apple-savvy friends. Very discouraging.

    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?

    Hello guys,
    Very embarassing question, because I've had Apple's for all of my life (starting with the original Apple Macintosh) but I still haven't figured out one thing
    How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?
    When I go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats I can set different formats. I have no idea where you will see these, but I know that it's not the top bar where the time and date is being displayed. Because no matter what I enter, the format in the top bar will stay the same. I can only choose things like 24-Hour clock or not, blinking dots and so on in the Time & Date settings from the System Preferences.
    Can anyone here point me in the right direction? I see you can even choose to display the week of the year - I'd love to do that!
    All help appreciated!
    Greetings

    Language & Text system preferences, Formats tab, customize dates.
    There are also many third party menu item utilities that can.  Search Macupdate.com for some.
    One search yielded iClock Pro.  Although I never used it I would think it allows customization.  The link I gave you is to the Macupdate download page for that app.  On that same page is a Similar Software section which has other apps that can do the same thing. 
    One listed is iStat Menus.  The primary use for iStat Menus is not for displaying date/time but it does do that.  And I know it can do what you want because I use iStat Menus to track temperature sensors n my machine and, like you, I want to customize the menu time/date.  So I use it instead of the apple clock.  It does have the customization features I think you are looking for.

    I would prefer to answer in your post. as I have tried on two occasions to help.. so far this is the first time I can see you stated  you are using Lion.
    1. Did you download and install the 5.6 utility..?
    I said to do it.. you never said yes.. I did that.
    Please do it. .. you will get no place before you do.
    2. Did you bridge the TC.. ?
    If so it will work perfectly.. please post a screen shot of the summary page from the 5.6 utility. If something is wrong I can work it out from there.
    3. Or ring apple support and get them to walk you through the setup.. there should be phone support for the first week or two.

    HOW CAN I SET TIHE NETWORK TIME in the apple tv BECAUSE IT DOESNT ALLOW ME TO SING IN

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Time and date should be set automatically by the network time server. There has been a number of posts reporting this problem. Solutions have involved:
    Restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a few moments.
    Restoring the Apple TV.
    Opening port 123 on the router.
    Ensuring the DNS address on both the router and the Apple TV are those provided by your ISP.

  • How do I set up my Time Capsule as backup HD only.

    How do I set up my Time Capsule to act as back up external Hard Drive only?  When I connect to my current network it slows down transfers between my 3 HD Tivos set up on my network to a crawl!  I don't want it connected to my network!

    Bridge the TC.
    First of all download and use the real utility if you haven't already. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Open utility.. go to manual setup..
    In the TC setup go to internet tab..
    Down the page find connection sharing.
    Select off bridge mode.
    Update the TC.
    The TC now is a client in the network and will act as a HDD.
    Wireless is up to you.. but it should not slow the connection. Certainly you can turn it off completely.

  • I changed my ISP, how I can Setting up my Time Capsule ?

    Recently, I changed my ISP, how I can Setting up my Time Capsule again?

    Hello. I jus tbought mine and will be setting up shortly. So I am only guessing here, based on how my airport extreme base station acted when I switched once. When you connect the ethernet to it, it should simply find the signal,a nd prompt you for the password information that you set up with the new ISP.
    If not, please report back how it goes..

  • HT1175 how do you set the airport time capsule as the primary base station rather than as a network client?

    how do you set the airport time capsule as the primary base station rather than as a network client?

    The Time Capsule needs to connect to a simple modem......not a modem/router or gateway type of device that is often furnished by Internet Service Providers.
    So, the first logical question here would be......
    What is the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?

  • How do i set up my time capsule wifi for many users

    hello ..
    i have problem.. as always
    my time capsule is connected to dsl modem (off(bridge mode)), in modem we can get only 10 ip adresses and no more. so when there are 10 pc connected to our wifi, no more can connect.... how can i set up my time capsule, so more people can join our wifi...? is it even possible?
    P.S.
    1) to our wifi is connected printer, so everybody can print...
    2) every pc uses time capsule as bacup place in time machine.
    tnx

    You often see this limit of 10 clients in wireless hotspots but I have yet to see it in an adsl modem.. most strange way to pay for a service that is really irrelevant how many clients you use.
    Have a go .. I recently setup a TC to help a guy run his Roku.. and this setup worked well.. I have no idea if it can work in your case.
    Lets say the IP you get is 192.168.2.1-10 .. doesn't matter what it really is. And the adsl modem is 192.168.2.254
    (Assuming they are private addresses.. if they are public IP you can just use the DHCP and NAT. )
    But go to the airport utility.. I think you need to run v5 at least to change DNS.. but you can do the same thing in v6 using static but no dns changes.
    Now you set the IP of the TC manually.. This address might need to be in the dhcp range of the modem to work. You can set the DNS to same IP as the router address.. ie home address of the modem. Or you can use another DNS.. whatever you like.
    Then set DHCP for clients that will join.. this can then expand the scope of addresses..
    It worked without a NAT error.. although I am not sure exactly how.. on paper it should not be able to work but did.. have a go.. otherwise there is perhaps another way.. but it is complicated.
    Give us an example from a computer plugged into the modem of what IP .. subnet mask .. Gateway and DNS you get. Then I can fine tune the values for it.

    This solved my questionRe: Calendar Travel Time Starting from Work when I want to Start from Home Oct 23, 2013 8:43 PM (in response to theglenlivet12)
    From Calendar's help:
    To set your starting location, Calendar first looks for your location in any events that are up to three hours before this event. If Calendar doesn’t find a location, it uses your work address during work hours and your home address during other hours. (Your work hours are set in Calendar preferences using the “Day starts at” and “Day ends at” menus.) If your card in Contacts doesn’t have your addresses, Calendar uses your computer’s current location.
