How do I switch Travel Time in Mac Calendar from work to home?

I recently installed Mavericks and have been using the new Travel Time feature in Calendar. Today I ran into a problem, however. I scheduled an appointment and put in the location address. When I went to enter the travel time, it only gave me two options: walking from work and driving from work. There was no option for driving or walking from home. This has never been a problem before. What's going on here?

From Calendar Help:
Choose to see travel time from your starting location to the event’s location.
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.

How do I transfer the "on My Mac" calendar from my iphone to iCloud?

I can't seem to figure out how to upload the "On My Mac" calendar that is on my iPhone to the iCloud? I just found out that none of these entries on on my iCal app on my Mac and I want to make sure I don't lose any entries. Thanks!

I did that already and it didn't work.

How do I sync travel time from iCal to calendar on an iOS device?

Hi, I really like the feature travel time in iCal. Unfortunale it only works great on the Mac. Therefor I only get the correct time when to leave when I am at home.
I have an example:
I made an apointment that is 2 hours and 3 minutes travel time away on my iMac. This is actually transferred to my iPhone correctly.
I also added an apointment with a lication in the same city. On the iMac it shows me that I will need 8 minutes from the first meeting to the second apointment and that it will remind me in time to leave. Everything seems fine. But when I look in calendar on my iPhone it will remind me 1 hour and 8 minutes before the meeting starts. That does not make any sense.
I thought that maybe iOS calendar adds the usual time set to remind me and adds the driving time. This is not the case since the usuall time is set to two hours. On the iMac the usuall time to remember me is set to one hour. It is probbably coming from here that it adds the hour but it does not make sense.
Does anynbody know how to use the travel time funktion properly for all devices?
I am also lokking for a way to set the reminder to travel time plus X minutes. It would make sence to get reminded when to get ready and not when you sit at your desk and are actually supposed to get out of the house...

Ok, I found the answer.
iCal will push the travel time plus the standard reminder time to the iOS device. So I set the standard remeinder to 10 minutes and I know whenever I am reminded that I have 10 minutes to get going. We can only hope that Apple will work some kinks out of this feature and we will be able to set a standard reminder for all appointments with travel time like "Leave in 30 minutes" to finish up what your doing or wrap up a meeting and then "leave in 5 minutes" to really get going. If you have the same issue write to apple.com/feedback. Maybe they will work on it if the get more feedbacks...

I work nights. Can I switch Travel Time in iCal from work to home?

I work nights. Can I switch Travel Time in iCal from work to home? I really don't have any appointments from 11 pm to 7 am when I work, but I don't want to switch when my day starts in preferences as no one else in my family works nights.
Any suggestions?

i haven't seen that option either, and it would be a great feature. (traveltime in a different colour...)
i do it like this: in the caption of the appointment i put the time that the gig starts. the actual time stretch of the appointment is the appointment including traveltime.
it's not the best way, but it works...
good luck

How to save SOME time machine Mac backups from the TM disk to other disk WITHOUT formatting the destination disk?

Hi,
How to save SOME time machine Mac backups from the TM disk to other disk WITHOUT formatting the destination disk?
I have a Time Machine disk (A) including the backups of several different Macs (B, C, D & E) generated with an old Mac OS X 10.5.8 (iMac PowerPC) over the years.
I have transferred the old Mac contents to a new Mac with OS X 10.8.3 using Migration Assitant. All OK.
Now, I want to erase such TM disk A to use if for other purposes, but first, I would like to RECOVER the backups of some Macs inside it (D and E). Is that possible WITHOUT formatting the destination disk and selecting only some Macs from the TM disk and not the fulll TM disk? How?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I do not think that is messy, anway. I simply used the same external disk as Time Machine disk for different Macs. And that worked OK all the time for years.
The ExternalTimeMachineDisk contains the folder Backups.backupdb
which contains the following folders (each one corresponding to the Time Machine backup made from each Mac):
Mac1
Mac2
MacBook1
MacBook2
In relation to my message above, is it possible to select specific files, folders or full Mac backups from such Time Machine disk and save them to other disk? How?
Thanks.

How do I delete the on my Mac calendar as it is competing with the iCloud calendar and giving me an error message

I am getting an error ménage in my iCloud calendar that says I can't add an event it must revert to the server . How can I delete the on my Mac calendar because I think it is competing with the iCloud calendar ?

Do you have the Yahoo toolbar? Other users have reported a similar JavaScript error when loading sites with that toolbar installed. If you have it, you could disable it or perhaps there is an updated version available.
If you don't have that toolbar, it could be one of your other add-ons.

How to cancel my personal subscription to CC so I can use my second team licence from work at home?

How to cancel my personal subscription to CC so I can use my second team licence from work at home?
Hi there, I have both a personal subscription and a team subscription to Creative Cloud. This means I also have to adobe.com accounts.
My boss just informed me that I have 2 licences on the team plan, and I should be using my other team licence at my home office. (Can't do corporate work on a personal computer).
So, how do I easily cancel my personal subscription and add my team subscription on my home computer? I'll need the second licence of software to be for a mac (my office computer is a PC).
Hope this makes sense. Thanks so much!

How do I switch off Time Machine in Lion Server remotely?

So here's what I want to do:
I have a mac mini with OSX Lion Server running providing wireless backups for the laptops in the house. I want to rsync these backups, as sparsebundle images, to a machine at my work.
I have the rsync working over ssh correctly, and have verified that if I rsync a sparsebundle there and back again then everything works fine. However, this only works if the sparsebundle wasn't mounted at the time of the sync.
I can use 'ssh xxx@xxx "hdiutil info"' to determine if the image is mounted, but I would like ideally to be able to switch off time machine remotely for the duration of the rsync copy.
Does anyone know of a command-line way of switching off Time Machine in OSX Lion Server from the command line.
As an extra question, for bonus marks, is there any way of verifying that a sparsebundle is mountable from a windows machine?

I'm going to answer my own question:
I was more or less completely on the wrong track. When performing a networked time-machine backup the sparse bundle is mounted on the remote machine for one thing. So hdiutil won't tell me if the backup is going on.
Also, backing up the sparsebundle is probably a bad idea in general, since if it's corrupt then none of the files will be easily recoverable.
So instead I've written a bash script that
a) mounts the sparse bundle on the server machine. If this fails, then a backup is in progress. The script exits in this case, but I guess it could always try again
b) Performs an rsync on the contents of the sparsebundle
c) ejects the sparsebundle.
For those interested, here's the script. Note that I had to build rsync 3.0.9 to get this to work, the bundled rsync barfs on the hardlinks in time machine backups.
(go here http://www.behindtherack.com/?p=308 for the rsync build instructions).
And here's the script
#!/bin/bash
user=dave
remotehost=your.home.machine
remoteport=5050
sshkeyfile=~/ssh.key.file
imagepath="/Volumes/tmachine/Shared Items/Backups/machine-name.sparsebundle"
remotepath="/Volumes/Time\ Machine\ Backups/Backups.backupdb/machine-name/Latest/"
localpath=~/Local-backup-path
# mount path
mountresult=`ssh $user@$remotehost -p$remoteport -i $sshkeyfile "hdiutil mount \"$imagepath\" -readonly"`
devpath=${mountresult%% *}
# did the mount work out?
if [[ "$devpath" == /dev/disk* ]]
then
          echo "Mount succeeded, remote disk mounted to $devpath"
else
          echo $mountresult
          echo $devpath
          echo "Remote mount failed, exiting"
          exit
fi
# now run the rsync
/usr/local/bin/rsync -rv --rsync-path="/usr/local/bin/rsync" --rsh="ssh -p$remoteport -i $sshkeyfile -l $user" "$user@$remotehost:$remotepath" $localpath
# unmount sparsebundle
ssh $user@$remotehost -p$remoteport -i $sshkeyfile "hdiutil eject $devpath"

How to change Switch Settling Time in TestStand

I am using a PXI-4072 with a PXI-2533 and teststand's integrated switching.
I am switching and measuring a lot of voltages and I find that the switch is ocassionally shorting some test points together, even though I have ticked 'Wait for Debounce before executing Step'.
This is bad because some of the test points are connected to the UUT's supply rail and causing it to reset in the middle of a test.(I also think this is how I one of the SSR's were damaged as well but I can't be sure.)
The problem looks like the default switch settling time may be marginal because if I put a wait between the switching the problems go away.
Apart from saturating my test with waits, is there a way to increase NI Switch's settling time?
Thankyou
Tim

Hello Tim,
You can change the default settling time of a switch by using the niSwitch Property Node in your module.
Left-click the property node and select the property Settling Time, which can be found under Module Characteristics.
Set the constant to the amount of time (in seconds) to wait for settling.
For more information on adding additional settling time, the above information is given in detail in the NI-SWITCH help>>Programming with NI-SWITCH>>Features>>Adding Additional Settling Time
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Glenn

Trying to understand travel time in iOS Calendar

I could be wrong, but I thought Maps/Calendar in iOS 7 was supposed to figure out how far you were from the location of an appointment and calculate an alert based upon travel time, so if you had a 7:00 appointment and you were 15 minutes away, you'd get an alert at 6:45.
If so, how do I get this to work...or am I mistaken?
Thanks!

I am still confused since looking at the output of
$ sudo systemd-analyze critical-chain
The time after the unit is active or started is printed after the "@" character.
The time the unit takes to start is printed after the "+" character.

Seems to indicate that the graphical.target comes alive at 12 seconds - yet the login prompt on the graphical screen is visible at 7 seconds! I could believe that after the login prompt the network may still be being initialised, but something still doesn't look right compared to the elapsed time for the graphical target.

How do I reinstall Leopard on my mac pro from my mac book pro?

How do I reinstall my Snow Leopard os into my mac pro from my mac book pro? I have the disks, both run on Snow Leopard. I am have a grey screen problem and nothing has fixed it yet, so I was told to reinstall in from another computer because when I tried to load from disk to mac pro the mac pro would start to load, but then stop at the same place.

Once you get it to work, be sure to download and apply the lastest SL COMBO updater. for 10.6.8 (or any later version). This will ensure that the latest drivers & such for that newer hardware gets installed and the resulting OS can run optimally.

Travel time in Maverick Calendar - when away from home / office

Travel time is a nice feature but not working properly from my perspective. Some situations I can´t solve, perhaps anybody could help.
1) I am flying out of Sydney Airport at the morning to lets say Melbourne. Calender will calculate travel time from home to airport as it should be. My next appointment is in Melbourne. Need to calculate travel time from Melbourne Airport to that appointment, but can´t add Melbourne Airport as an adress.
2) When I am f.ex in Melbourne overnight I add an all day event with Hotel details (adress included). I need to calculate travel time from my Hotel to an appointment next morning. System is not offering the Hotel adress as an option.
Thanks for any ideas...

As a temporary workaround, of course, you can just turn Time Machine OFF.
There was a similar message, with reference to type "file" in the URL, but this one is differnent.
Have you ever used a 3rd-party utility, or followed any instructions to edit some files, to change Time Machine's default behavior?
