How do I stop Calendar overriding my Event location

Hi
When creating an event in Calendar, the software is quite 'helpful' in offering suggestions for the event location as I type.
However, if I don't like any of it's suggestions, or wish to override the suggested location, the software seems to stamp it's feet and insist on formatting the location data the way IT prefers.
How do I stop it doing that?
For instance, I am attending an event at the "Institute of Directors, 116 Pall Mall, London, SW1Y 5EA"
Calendar finds a very close match for this and replaces my location with
"116 Pall Mall
London
England
SW1Y 5EA
United Kingdom"
Apart from the excessive screen real estate taken up by those superfluous new lines, it doesn't include the name of the location - "Institute of Directors" - and it includes 2 countries - England and United Kingdom - that I don't need to know because I live here.
Can I not keep my own preferred format in the location field?

I just fixed this issue by turning off the location support on iCal on my iPhone. If all your devices are synced up that may be causing the issue.
After turning off location support I was able to enter the address I wanted. It gave me a choice to stick with my address or choose from the list of suggestions. After refreshing iCal on my computer it displayed the correct address.
Hopefully your fix will be that easy!

How can I stop Calendar from formatting the location of an event?

When I enter the event's location (e.g. Concert Hall, 123 Main Street) Calendar breaks it up into multiple fields and sorts them alphabetically (e.g. "123 Main Street" and"Concert Hall"). It also tags each field with "!", meaning presumably that the location was not found in a directory or contact list. I'd like to stop Calendar from doing _anything_ "smart' to the location info and just display it exactly as I enter it. Any ideas on whether this is possible? Thanks much!

How do I stop Calendar trying to geolocate event entries?

How do I stop Calendar trying to geolocate event entries? It never suceeds because all the event locations are local and very specific and in trying, it slows down the event entry.

Whoo hoo! That's just what we needed.
Well, we seem to have confirmed that
(1) Your DOCX files are opening in Adobe Reader, and
(2) Your PDF files are opening in Microsoft Word.
Now, we had a go at fixing this but it seems pretty tangled up. It may be better to just forget double clicking and use File > Open in Word for DOCX files, and File > Open in Adobe Reader for PDF files. If you're having trouble even doing that, let's focus on getting that bit working for you - let us know the problem.
(NB Because things are messed up you CANNOT rely on the icon to decide on the type of file. Use Properties to look at the file name or type).

How do I stop my iPhone highlighting events dates any times?

How do I stop my iPhone highlighting events, dates and times in web pages, notes and just about anything I do with text. I'm sure I have seen the setting somewhere. But can't find it now despite looking hard for it. I don 't see it in the iPhone manual either. Even worse than the existence of this intrusive highlighting is it's light yellow link colour that makes the text difficult to read.

Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> change the Sync setting in the Calendars section to All Events.

How do I stop GoLive from changing the location of my CSScriptLib.js file?

How do I stop GoLive from changing the location of my CSScriptLib.js file?
I am making rollovers and want my CSScriptLib.js to be in the same folder as my HTML files.
Every time I edit the rollovers GoLIve recreates the path of the CSScriptLib.js to file:///Users/xxx/Library/Preferences/Adobe/GoLive/Settings8/JScripts/GlobalScripts/CSScr iptLib.js so it won't work when uploaded. I always need to edit my HTML before uploading. All I want it to say is src="CSScriptLib.js" as the default.

How Do I stop Calendar from Updating a Subscribed Calendar?

I have a calendar that I do not want updated. I am subscribed to it, have it stored in iCloud, and have set auto-refresh to 'No'. However it continues to update itself at least once a day. How do I stop that? And what, exactly, does the auto-refresh do?

Settings > Mail Contacts, Calendars.
Scroll down to Calendars and this sets default alert times.
If you add an alert to a new appt, it is in addition to the default alert time.
Either turn off default alert time or set the default alert time to when you want you want & don't add alert to the event when you create it

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?

How do I stop calendar inserting 'starts' and 'ends'

I have recently bought a new laptop ( OS Yosemite version 10.10.2) and find the automatic entering of 'starts' and 'ends' times on my entries in calendar very irritating.
How do I stop it doing this ?
The previous version I used did not do this automatically by default.

I had the Integrated Gmail 2.5.5 addon enabled.
After disabling the addon the problem is gone.
Hope it works to you guys.

How do i get calendar syncing recurring events from outlook to iphone to handle daylight saving time

When I sync recurring events of my PC Outlook on to the iPhone calendar they appear one hour later during summer i.e. between Mar 26th and October 27. I have a weekly thing every wednesday at 8pm that appears at 9pm in summer - so outlook seems to be sending the info in UTC time but the IPhone isn't compensating for summer time.

What do you mean "correctly". If I enter a recurring (weekly) event in Outlook at say 8pm every Monday from February till December, then Outlook calendar propagates it at 8pm every Monday from February till December, and I can see it on each Monday regardless of whether it's standard time or summer time. However when I sync with the iPhone calendar through iTunes it transmits just the start date/time and end date, and the iPhone then recreates the series of events (provable because it creates occurences that I have deleted on Outlook). However it propagates the UTC time at the start date, and gets confused by the change to Summer Time in March (and Ocotber). The iphone "corrects" the (UTC) time for Summer Time so it starts at 8pm, all summer the event appears at 7pm, and goes back to 8 in November. I have tested across both boundaries - if a recurrence starts in summer time at 8pm then from November it gets an hour later, 9pm. And you can't solve it by turning off Local Time handling on the iPhone because then all individual events through the summer are an hour out. This is a bug.
Workaround - enter separate recurrent events for each time period, so in a calendar year 3 events: Jan-end March, April-end October, Nov-Dec

Publish Calendar Group and events location lost

After publish the Calendar Group, which may contain more than one individual calendar and coded in different colors correspondingly, the published online view of the calendar group shows only one color. Is there a design fault in this? Shouldn't the published Calendar group retain the original individual calendar colors?
Also, the published calendar, individual events lost their locations. When I publish the calendar I checked the box for title and notes. There is nowhere for checking the location. Is this the reason for not publishing the location? Please correct the design. Thanks.

I'm also wondering why iCal event locations and URLs don't appear in a published (via .Mac) calendar. When I click on an event, I get Subject, Date, and Summary info (which is equivalent to the Notes field). It does not show the Location or URL field, however.
Any ideas on how to get this information on a published calendar?

How do I stop calendar event notifications?

I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 6. I restored it from a backup of my iPhone 4S and with it calendars from some Major League Baseball teams. I subscribed to these calendars so that if I was to travel to one of these cities I could select the calendar and check to see if the team would be playing at home while I was there. At other times I have the calendar deselected so that my calendar is not cluttered with the events I have no intention of attending. The problem is that on my iPhone I get four notifications everyday, although the calendars for the four teams I subscribe to are deselected. I don't want to be notified at all, I just want the capability to see the schedule on my calendar then hide it when I'm finished looking. It's a notification problem rather than a calendar problem but I don't see any way in Settings / Notifications / Calendar to fix it. Any help appreciated, thanks.

I'm afraid I'll miss an alert for something important if I do that. Why can't I choose which alerts to get and which to ignore? If I uncheck those subscribed calendars I shouldn't get alerts for the events in them.

How do I stop calendar from emailing alerts?

For every calendar event I receive an email & an alert. How do I keep the alert, but stop the email? I have a hotmail email address.

I don't have a hotmail calendar, but iPhone says it is. It looks like the calendar in the manual & no settings available. Can I make it not a hotmail calendar?

How do you stop calendar alerts from setting themselves on iOS 7?

After my upgrade to iOS 7, my wife's gmail calendar items on my iPhone now all have alerts set for 5 minutes before the event. In Gmail, the none of her events have alerts set. I'd like that to be how my iPhone shows them. I have tried to fix by deleting her calendar account and re-adding. Didn't work. I didn't have this problem before the upgrade to iOS 7. Events without reminders in gmail should not have reminders on my iPhone, right? I have the default alert time set to 5 minutes, but that should only control new calendar items, right? On my work calendar, event alert times are still controlled correctly (if the event has a 15 minute alert, it stays at 15 minutes). One last piece, I successfully upgraded my iPad without this problem happening there. Suggestions?

Did you automatically sync? If so, try manually syncing. At least this way, you will have control of the music you sync. No duplicates.
