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 iPhoto from repeatedly closing Event title boxes when I am in the middle of entering a title?

How do I stop iPhoto from repeatedly closing Event title boxes when I am in the middle of entering a title?
This problem started several months ago. I have tried typing more slowly and typing faster; neither help.
It now takes me about four attempts to complete a title of about twelve characters, achieving about three characters on each attempt.
I am running iPhoto 9.4.3 on OS X 10.8.3 on a 2.93 GHz Intel Quad-Core i7 iMac with 12 GB of DDR3 memory.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

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 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 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 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!

The site file is a database that keeps track of all your assets (and much more), including the scriptLib file. As soon as the page is saved (when you use the site file and it's open) the link will be change to the correct path that will work on the server.
If you're not using the site file you might as well use a text editor, since most of GL functionality is gone.

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.

Help ... how do you stop iMovie trying to re-open the same project

I would like to try some of the new features of iMovie for myself, though I guess it will be a waste of time seeing the other comments on this board (I really need to be able to edit video and audio and not just share), but at the moment I can't.
I tried to open a project file created in iMovie 06 HD but the iMovie 08 program crashed when attempting to open the project. However, the program now doggedly tries to open the project every time I start iMovie and with the same result, it falls over.
I have sent Apple a message but the chances of them responding are about zero in my experience. Anyone know how to stop this, I have tried the Esc key and other usual break sequences but iMovie 08 is nothing if not determined.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
Robbie

HI Robbie,
Have you tried moving the project out of iMovies Project folder?
The path is ~/Movies/iMovie Projects/project name

How do I stop calendar notifications going to my old iphone?

I have an iPhone 5s. I reset my old iPhone 4s to factory default and gave it to my mom to use. She set it up with a new apple account and connected it to her AT&T phone service. She is getting my Calendar appointment notifications on her iPhone 4s. I have removed the 4s from my iCloud account.

I like it, on here its all people having problems. No one comes here to say no problems. I like it, but you can wait til ios 6.0.1 which should come soon. I will adds bugs with ios6. Much how ios 5.0.1 did with ios 5.

How do I stop Adobe trying to open pdf files?

I have removed Adobe from my Mac, but it is still trying to open pdf files, both in Safari and in Mail. I've removed all of the files using CleanMyMac, so there is nothing left of it.
How can I change the default back to Evernote, or just view pdf in Safari?

Unfortunately, I can't do that as the file I want is coming up with this message: "Please wait...if this message is not replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade or get the latest version of Adobe Reader...etc etc"
I'm also getting this on my Windows XP Computer even when I have Reader installed.
I have already deleted all internet plug ins relating to Adobe in my Library.

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 can I stop getting emails when adding events to iCal (Mac) or Calendar (iOS)?

This question could just as well go to the iCloud on my Mac community...
I put 'I' in the topic for brevity but it's actually my wife who gets emails every time either of us adds or edits events, whether we do it in iCal on either of our Macs or in Calendar on our iOS devices. Presumably this is to do with a setting in iCloud somewhere, but I've searched high and low and can’t find it. I've also compared settings on our Macs and phones and can't find anything that could be the culprit. It's driving her nuts!
For more information, we share all our calendars so that either of us read and write any of them, and we're both on iOS 5.1 on our iPhones (hers is a 3GS, mine's a 4), and we're both on Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion (2010 27" iMac and 2011 MacBook Pro respectively).

this seems to be a new "bug" on iCloud. It's happened to many users (judging by the posts here). My wife and I have one shared calendar and we've been happily using it without the email problems (because I had set iCloud NOT to email us whenever an event changed - this was done at icloud.com, a setting there). Recently we began getting emails. I suspect a change in iCloud that was in error, because I just checked my setting and the option to have an email sent when an event changes is not checked.
