How do I take a calendar template (i.e. Day 1 Run, Day 2, etc) and place it in iCal whenever I want to start?

So basically what I'd like to do is take a 12 week half marathon prep program and be able to shift the workout days based on whenever I choose to register for a race. The program already has the data (Day 1 - run, Day 2 - strength, etc), but I'd like it all to be on iCal.

I have both types stored in the database, I don't care how I query the data, I just need to know how to convert the date to a numerical string, 1 through 7, with 2 being Monday or whichever number Monday converts to, in my query so I can output it properly. I am not able to accomplish this in my query. without getting an undefined function in expression.
There are several dates in the calendarDate column, 10/27/2009, 12/01/2009, that converts to 3 for Tuesday when I output #dayofweek(calendardate)#. However I can't use this string in my query without the undefined error.
How do I convert this string into something my query will accept? Am I making sense?

How do I take a date string, add "X" days to it, and display a new date?

I have a date listed in a text string. I would like to convert it to a time stamp, and take a variable number of days, converted to seconds, added to the date, and displayed as a correct date. Example: 9/1/2011 adding 35 days is 10/6/2011. The trick seems to be getting it correct for every month and year combination. How can I accomplish this? I was thinking along the lines of time stamps, but any method that works consistently would be fine.
Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You are right, use timestamps, they will take care of the working out the correct date for you.
Interpret your string as a timestamp.
Add your offset (use a numeric add, and consider using units on your variable)
Reinterpret your datestamp as a string.

How do I take a calendar (or iCal calendars back online?

Last night, I received an alert that gave me the option to take calendars/iCal offline. Something to do with syncing issues. so I took it/them offline. Now, events that I've changed in my iPhone Calendar app do not show up in iCal on my MacBook Pro. How do I take a calendar (or iCal calendars) back online?

Thank you for your response. Your answer is indeed correct as I have just verified the process you described.
I had tried this several times myself before posting my question but found that both the Go Online and Go Offline options were grayed out, thus unavailable to me. After a MacBook Pro reboot and several Forced Quits and Relaunches of iCal the next day, I was able to Go Online again.
Thanks,

HT4796 How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users?

How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users? Having to log out just to sign in on a different user to access the files is absurd.
Do I make all the files sharable to all the NOW users on the mac then just delete the files? Or can i erase my account that I made when starting up my new mac and then just use the one with the transferred files?
I just dont want to have to og in and out of 2 different accounts .. Help please.
-Nina

Sorry. /Users is a folder path. It would be similar to C:\Users (if that exists on Windows).
So, in the Finder, select Computer from the Go menu.
You'll see Macintosh HD, double-click that to open it.
In there you'll see several folders. One is Users. That is where all the user Home folders exist. Select the other account's home folder and go to step 3.
If you have any more confusion, please stop and ask. We'll get there.
If you feel more comfortable, you can just log into that other account and move the files into /Users/Shared.
Then, log into the account you wish to use and copy the files from the Shared folder and paste them into your Home folder, wherever they belong, Documents, Music, Pictures, etc. That just takes a little more work. Transferring them into Shared, and then copying into your home sets the permissions on the files so that you won't have a problem accessing them later. The steps I provided just prevent you from having to do the double move, since you are not going to use the old account once you are done.
Quick unix shorthand. If someone gives you a file path that begins with a /, that means the root of the hard drive, ie Macintosh HD (if you haven't renamed it). The path separator in unix is /, not \.
A path that starts with ~/ means your Home folder, the one inside /Users named with your account name.

How do I change Excel calendar template for it to be 1st April to 31st March

Would appreciate some help on this one.
From Office.com Templates
I've downloaded the calendar "Family calendar (any year, Mon-Sun)
I've changed the layout so
that it
runs on the financial year from 1st
April
to 31st
March. But I'm struggling to
get the January to
March section to display the
correct days for the following year. - As in to
say, in the 2015/16 calendar, I need Jan to March to
match 2016 days to dates.
the formula for January is
=IF(DAY(JanSun1)=1,"",IF(AND(YEAR(JanSun1+1)=CalendarYear,MONTH(JanSun1+1)=1),JanSun1+1,""))
So what do I need
to change
in
that formula
to get it
displaying the next
year's dates on
the right days?
thanks

Absolutely Brilliant.
thanks for your help, Hans
Managed to complete Step
2 OK. But on step 1
I had to Edit the "BlankCalendar"!
lines before the second CalendarYear would save.
thanks again :)

How do I take screen shots with the new update iOS 5 on my iPad and iPhone?

When I try to take screen shots on both my iPad and iPhone they both come up with the screen to shut down the devices. I've updated both with iOS 5. Any clues on how to take a screen shot with iOS 5?

As with the previous iOS versions.
Press and hold the Home button and use the on/off or sleep/wake button as a camera shutter button for the screen shot.
Or while pressing and holding the on/off or sleep/wake button before the slide to power of appears, use the Home button as a camera shutter button - this must be done before the slide to power off appears.

How do I delete a calendar event (repeating daily forever) that I accepted on my iPhone from a mobileMe iCal invite?

Hi,
I'd like to know how to delete a calendar event from my iPhone4 (iOS 5.1) calendar. The event was sent to me from a mobileMe synced iPhone4 (iOS 5.1) calendar and for some reason it was set to daily repeat forever.
The event has been deleted from the originators calendar now, but the result has not been propagated to my calendar, despite an update being sent out. When I attempt to accept it just hangs and doesn't update in my calendar.
More annoyingly, the event doesn't have an edit button in my calendar, so I cannot delete it (and all other occurences) myself.
Any ideas on how to remove it?
Thanks,
Rich

A workaround. Not perfect but it gets rid of it.
Do the below link's steps and then deselect that calendar from view.

How to copy a playlist from iTunes to a USB (keeping artist song name etc) and the files to listen and browse in a jeep hard drive

I made a music playlist on my iTunes, perfectly ordered. I get a car with a USB input to get the songs in the car hard drive, My question is: How can I copy the playlist (with artist, song etc) with the music file (but with the name and artist instead of the file name) in the usb so I can copy it and browse it in my car?
Thanks

This would require renaming the files on the computer.
iTunes is not going to do this magically when copying files to the flash drive, iTunes does not even copy/sync files to a flash drive.

On a MBP with Mavericks how do I get the Save As dialog box to open at the same size and place at which it was last closed and used to happen before Mavericks?

Before I upgraded my MBP to Mavericks, the Save As dialog box would reopen at the same size and position as it was when last closed. Now with Mavericks it always opens in the same position at a very small size. Is there a way to make it reopen at the last place and size at which it was closed?

I have resolved the issues presented without having to find and uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 in order to get "Adobe Flash Player 10" playback of .swf files on my computer. When I begin this task, I expected to download an "Adobe Flash Player 10" as a player program download instead of the Internet Explorer and Firefox plugin that it appears to be.
This is what I did and what I believe I have:
1. I setup Internet Explorer 6 as my default browser and then used the following site to download Adobe Flash Player 10
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
2. As I had done before (and also suggested in another thread here), I went to Tools/Manage Add Ons and found Shockwave Flash Object, highlighted it, and clicked on Update Active X. Next, what I did not do before, I restarted the computer immediately after that.
3. Next, I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and then used the above site to download Adobe Flash Player 10 again.
4. With Firefox, the critical step included Firefox Tools/Options/Content with File Types (Configure how Firefox handles certain types of files) and the Manage Tab there. SWF Shockware Flash Object/Change Action/and dotting "use this plugin" - Shockwave Flash, followed by a computer restart got the job done.
Now, if I want playback of a .swf file, I can
a. Open With Internet Explorer (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
b. Open With Mozilla Firefox (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
c. Open With Macromedia Flash Player 8.0
I am satisfied with those results for my use. Any additional comments on the player vs plugin aspect of the matter would be interesting and helpful.

How do I go about saving ALL data on an imac running 10.5.8 and wipe the harddrive and install an new OSX

I have an old imac running OSX 10.5.8 which for various reasons was never updated further
Processor is 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
It has iphoto 08 7.1.5 (378)
I also have a macbook Pro. Running OSX 10.7.5
Processor 2.4 GHz intelCore i5
memory 4GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
This one runs iphoto 11 v 9.2.3 (629.52)
On Both these Machines I want to save all the files and particularly the photos to an external hard drive. I can do the files etc but having problems with iphoto. I want a complete functional copy of both libraries in iphoto and I want to be able to access it and pick and choose which ones I want to use but not STORE on a new Macbook. I want to access the photos from several machines and just browse through them.
Then .. once I have a proper copy of everything I want to reformat the old imac and install the newest OSX it will run given its Processor etc. any advice on which OSX it can cope with?
Also possibly upgrade the macbook pro , so that they talk to each other properly, will access icloud and will also both be compatible with a new macbook pro running Yosimite...
But I want to be able to pick and choose which files I move to the new macbook. Both photos and general filing.
This may be easy for an expert but I am not an expert, I am reasonably competent.. but definitely not an expert and I don't want to mess up and lose stuff.
can anyone help?

Click here and buy the DVD.

I am not computer savvy. I was the one with the deleted dictionary. It does not show up in the trash as an icon. just a lot of files. How can I reinstall it from my back up dics? can I look through and just click on the application I want to re install?

Here I am again.
Can I trust the install dvd to scan my computer to find the missing program?
Can I look through the installation dvds to find the dictionary program and just click to install it?
Would it be easier to install a free dictionary from the internet for macbooks?
This is so frustrating: I don't even know why Apple would allow its program to show up on a nikon download of photos??? I mean really I thought they were the masters of protection?!
I never thought that by deleting it from my camera that it would delete the entire program from my computer. That in itself is something that APPLE TECS SHOULD LOOK AT DON'T YOU THINK

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

My phone is hot and burning battery - again. I reset all settings and it didn't help. What is up and how do I fix it? I have **** down all apps., disabled location, wireless,etc and it still burns battery.

See description

Thanks. I did that last time and they just told me to reset it, which I did again (what a pain). Ay idea what is going on? Last time it was right after the upgrade to 6.1,2. I see I have 6.1.3 now and don't recall approving the upgrade.
