How to gather Calendar events using applescript?

How do you gather any events schedualed for that day on calendar by using applescript?

I have got it working with this script.
If iTunes Pop-up a message, I press a key on my remote control and the Pop-up message / Box disappears.
tell application "System Events"
tell process "iTunes"
-- get the front window's name
-- get the name of the front window
set whichWindow to (get the name of the front window)
-- Ergebnis: "Getting Playlist"
-- display dialog result
-- display dialog whichWindow
-- Ergebnis: {button returned:"OK"}
set whichButton to (get the name of the front window's button)
-- Ergebnis: {"Stop"}
tell whichButton of window whichWindow to key code 53
-- set the contents of the button to key code 53
end tell
end tell
In a terminal I have typed in "while true; do ./diut.app; sleep 2; done" to see what happend, if iTunes is front most and an iTunes message Pop-up.
Solved by myself.

  • PALM Z22 HOW TO CREATE CALENDAR EVENTS THEN UPLOAD THEM TO THE PALM Z22

    Hello, I would like to know if anyone can advise me on how to create calendar events in say, excel, and then upload them to my Palm Z22.  The reason I want to create them in excel is so that I can also update the file information to my cell phone as well.
    Thanks for your assistance.....
    Tony
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    Hello Tony,
    If you want to use Excel, then I would suggest that you export your calendar spreadsheet as a comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that data into the Calendar application in Palm Desktop.  Then Hotsync your Palm.

  • How to Access Custom Event using AS3?

    Hi All,
    Maybe it's that its Monday morning and my brain is still foggy, but I can't seem to figure out how to set custom events using AS3.
    I have a custom GridRow itemRenderer, and have declared the event using the appropriate metatags.
    Then I create the GR item dynamically using AS3 instantiation, but the event is not available for selection in the intellisense drop-down.
    Let's take the following as an example:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Grid
         xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
         xmlns:renderers="com.brassworks.renderers.*"
         creationComplete="componentInit();"
    >
         <mx:Script>
              <![CDATA[
                   private function componentInit():void
                        newRow     :MyRow     = new MyRow();
                        //newRow.myEvent is not an available option to set
              ]]>
         </mx:Script>
    </mx:Grid>
    Then the itemRenderer:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <GridRow
         xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
         xmlns:classes="com.brassworks.components.classes.*"
         creationComplete="componentInit();"
    >
         <mx:Metadata>
              [Event(name="myEvent", type="flash.events.Event")]
         </mx:Metadata>
         <mx:Script>
              <![CDATA[
                   private function itemChanged(event:Event):void
                   Alert.show("test");
                   this.dispatchEvent(new Event("myEvent"));
              ]]>
         </mx:Script>
         <mx:GridItem>
              <mx:TextInput
                   change="itemChanged"
              />
         </mx:GridItem>
    </GridRow>
    How do I go about setting the handler method for custom events on instantiated items? Do I need to do this via the AddEventListener() method? Does this mean that events aren't exposed in ActionScript like they are in MXML? (In MXML all I have to do is <MyRow myEvent="handler(event)" />.)
    Thanks!
    -Mike

    Yes, I you need to do this via the addEventListener() method.
    myRow.addEventListener( "myEvent", myHandler );
    I hope that helps.

  • How do I edit existing Calendar Events with Applescript?

    I've got a script that needs to add a URL to an existing Calendar event.  I've tried everything I can think of but can't get it to work.  Here's what I've got so far, that's working, but it's missing the last piece:

  • How can I automatically create calendar events using text from a Pages document?

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a way that I can automatically have calendar events created, by extracting dates and times from a table within a Pages document I have saved on my Mac.
    Currently, I record my working hours/dates on a Pages document in table format, so that I can record and ensure I receive payment for all hours I work.
    After finding out which shifts I have for the week, I insert the day, date, start time and end time (for each shift), into a table within a Pages document.
    I'm wondering if there is any way - such as through Automator, Apple Scripts, etc. - that I can then have the Calendar app automatically create events from that data - including the date, start and end times for each shift?
    Also, if possible, is there a way to set each event to automatically alert me at a chosen time (1 day, 2 days, etc.) beforehand?
    Here is an example of the layout of my document table:
    Date
    Start
    Finish
    Duration
    Saturday, 21 December 2013
    8:00 AM
    5:00 PM
    9:00 hrs

    Tuesday, 24 December 2013
    12:00 PM
    6:00 PM
    6:00 hrs
    If anyone can help with this question, that would be greatly appreaciated, as then I could have my calendar automatically create and sync my work shifts across to my iPhone, iPad and Mac.
    Thanks in advance,
    John.

    I totally agree with you.
    Where are the fixes for a long string of bugs, glitches and user issues?
    Looking at the list of new "features" for the next OSX, Maverick (what a dumb name!), all I am seeing is Apple ripping off other peoples' ideas, something it swinges others mercilessly for.
    There is not one thing in Maverick that I don't already have, only more so, with 3rd party add-ons.
    Apple seems bereft of ideas now and I am totally mystified what it is doing with all that money and employees it has accumulated.

  • Adding all day events using applescript to ical

    Hey all. I am new to using applescript. Thanks to some top users i have been able to get excel events file transfered into ical.
    I need help with the applescript for changing these events from time duration to all day.
    tried
    set the start time to 00:00 and end time to 24:00 and
    set all-day to true
    any help would be greatly appreciated!!
    thanks.

    I have the exact same problem. I have entered birthdays for people I know starting with the year of their birth and never ending, an all-day event. They now don't show in 2007, but there is a detached event on January 1, 2000. When I delete that event and all subsequent versions of it, the initial event now ends in 2006 or 2007, and I have to set the repeat to end Never again. I fixed all the ones from February that showed up. Now I notice that a huge amount of the other birthdays (all day events) that I have entered are doing it now, and we are talking well over 40 of them. I don't understand why it keeps creating these detached events. I also publish my calendars, if that makes any difference.

  • Multiple instances of the same calendar events using Oulook and Desktop Manager

    BB Curve 8310
    OS 4.5
    Desktop Manager 5.0
    Theme = Dimension Today
     Outlook 2007 “full version”
    Using two POP3 email accounts. One is a personal gmail and the other is most important a business email. I do not use gmails calendar.
     12 Months or so back I would sometimes get duplicate appointments in my BB calendar after a sync but Outlook showed a single appointment. I had read that it was intermittent with the theme “Today” and the advice was “do not accept appointment invites in Outlook”.
     I forgot and accepted several I the past week. Now almost all my appointments are doubled up in my BB and again, my Outlook seems fine. I just noticed that I can now select which calendar to “show” in my BB.
     Is this caused by getting an email invite to an appointment?  
     1)   Does anyone know what is causing this?
    2)   Could you suggest a quick fix?
    3)   Could you suggest a permanent fix?
     Thanks

    Thanks Bifocals ,,,,, I'm blushing just a bit. I'd put one of those red smiley faces but I would have to post another question to find out how!
    BB Calendar CICAL = personal email
    BB Messaging CMIME = work email
    This is not correct the default services values need both reflect the main email associated account.
    They need to both be your work address. This could very well explain the duplicates
     Outlook has/uses only the work email address show it has to be the default one - I have long ago deleted my personal one from Outlook.
    Outlooks Calendar Data File recurrence (none) 339, in Outlook 2007 I had to find them a different way but I think it's what your looking for.
    My BB shows a "default" = 217, "personal" = 185, and "work" = 309
    The records in the device default calendar will not synchronize. The are in effect "orphaned"
    records that at one time belonged to an email address. Usually caused by deleting the email account or losing the service books for the email account. We need to remove them
    can you tell what email account they were created from? And where they would logically be moved?
    A couple of notes - now that you have had me flipping through different areas I have noticed a few interesting things that maybe would be beneficial. While using Outlook 2003, I used several email addresses. Don't know if Outlook updates to 2007 or installs a new 2007 program using data from 2003. There was a time that I was sending emails in Outlook from my personal account, there was a slight hiccup and every so often it would revert back, hence I simply deleted it.
    I would need to verify it, but I'm pretty sure that the email addresses would have to be installed again.
    I'll split that one with you. I'll take the Blackberry knowledgebase. You take the Microsoft outlook support site
    I'm now wondering if I delete all the calendars on my BB and do the one way sync? That seems simple enough.
    We are gong to do just that, to repair what happened. It will not prevent another recurrence.
     You  asked for three things:
    You wanted a a reason this happened, I think we found it in the default services setup.
    You wanted a quick fix, It will be done in with an  hour's work.
    You also wanted a permanent fix,  Want to go for all three?
    If you have multiple calendars you will have problems. It's just the nature of the beast.
    It's not an "if " but just a matter of "when" deal!
    Personally I can't find any logic in the concept of multiple calendars.
    People explain they use one for work appointments and one for personal appointments.
    I always want to ask why they don't use two watches one for personal and one for work?
    I do see the need for separating personal and work email accounts.
    Here is I think the best of both worlds answer.
    Leave your work email configured and use the work calendar as you would normally.
    For your personal email install the Gmail for mobile application. You have access to your
    personal and work emails, they are kept separate due to the nature of the Gmail app.
    Here is the the cherry on the top. The Gmail app doesn't install a calendar.
    So two email addresses one calendar, ain't life grand!
    So here is the plan Stan, let me know what you think.
    1) On the Blackberry options advanced options, default services. Match both options to your work email.
    2) Decide what needs to happen with the 217 device default "orphans".
    Also 185 personal records. Are they worth keeping, can they be sent to the work calendar, do they need to be on Outlook.
    3) Read this article you can see your options and  help you make the best decision.
     KB19240 How to merge multiple calendars into one calendar on the BlackBerry smartphone
    Read about the Gmail for mobile app see if you think it will work for you: Gmail mobile app
    If you don't like it or don't think it's a good fit just let me know and we can go a different way.

  • How to find and replace using AppleScript for TextWrangler?

    I ran into a problem after exporting my book into EPUB from Indesign CS4. In this book the Latin diphthong æ is used. Unfortuately it didn't translate very well into the EPUB or corresponding XHTML files. Is there a way to do a batch change using AppleScript to change these symbols √¶ into &aelig; which is the code for the diphthong? If so, how?
    I also have an issue with the symbol †, in some of the documents it appears as this ‚Ć. Can I do a batch change for that as well? If so, how?
    I'm new to using AppleScript so I appreciate all of the help. Thank you so much!!

    Hello
    Here's some observations -
    æ = U+00E6
    = <c3 a6> (UTF-8)
    = <c3 a6> (MacRoman) = æ
    † = U+2020
    = <e2 80 a0> (UTF-8)
    = <e2 80 a0> (MacRoman) = †
    which likely mean that your source data is text in UTF-8 but destination (or viewer or intermediate converter) is interpreting the data as text in MacRoman.
    Make sure you properly declare the encoding of XHTML or EPUB document as UTF-8.
    Good luck,
    H

  • How to duplicate calendar events copy paste?

    I am trying to build my schedule on calendars with my iPad. I would like to put in my work schedule but I don't work the same days every week. I am looking for a way to copy paste/duplicate entries so I don't have to keep inputting them. Because I don't work the same days each week/month I can't use the repeat feature. I have tried a long press to copy and paste but it moves the whole event and doesn't duplicate it. Is there a way to do this? I have found that I can do this on my Macbook Pro in iCal and then it updates the iPad through iCloud but I would like to do it with my iPad because I have the iPad and iPhone with me all the time and the Macbook stays at home.

    As you know by now, there is now way to copy and paste (drag and drop duplicate) iPad Calendar events. However, I have found a workaround that allows you to duplicate an event and place the duplicates in various dates on your Calendar. NOTE: This is probably not too practical for making a single copy, but it does save time and keystrokes for multiple copies.  In Calendar, tap on the event you want to duplicate and select Edit. In the Edit window select Repeat. In the Repeat window select Every Day, then tap Done to take you back to the Edit menu.  Tap End Repeat and select an end date that will give you the number of copies you want (e.g., if the original event date is 11/12 and you want 5 copies, select 11/17 as the End Repeat date.  Tap Done twice to return to the Calendar. Then just drag the Repeats/Copies to the various dates where you want them placed (works best in Month view). When you finish each drag/drop, you will get a "This is a repeating event" pop-up window; you need to select "Save for this event only."

  • When a third party program creates a new Google calendar event using a http link I cannot click the save button in Firefox 9.01 or 10b2.

    I use a TV listings program called DigiGuide. This has a script that opens a new Google Calendar event page in my browser for a specified TV program with all fields already completed. I then just have to click the SAVE button on the Google Calendar site to save the event - but since updating to 9.01 from 8.xx this button and others (Discard, Search) has no effect, although the cursor changes when over the button as if it recognised a link. Opening the same page in Chrome works fine. I have also noticed that Calendar's other buttons (e.g. next/previous period) can stop working on the main Calendar page, which I have as a pinned tab - in this event navigating away from Calendar and back again regains that functionality. The issue persists in Firefox 10b2.

    Further investigation reveals this only happens when the event is created from within WP native calendar app and disappears when I make an edit to the event in any other calendar client including Google web. So a more appropriate description of the problem would be:
    "Native calendar app keeps subtracting 1h off a Google calendar event on EVERY edit"
    Create an event at 2013/07/17 15:00 in WP native calendar app. Result: Event shows as 2013/07/17 15:00 in the calendar app for a few seconds, then updates itself to 2013/07/17 14:00.
    Edit the event title and save in WP native calendar app. Event time moves by -1h again to 2013/07/17 13:00.
    Edit the event title in Google web calendar.
    Subsequent edits in WP native calendar do not mess up the time any longer. If I fix the time to what I originally intended (2013/07/17 15:00) in WP native calendar app, it stays there and shows correctly in all previously mentioned calendar viewers.
    I just learned that Lumia 925 was released with GDR2 update pre-installed. This update is only now being made generally available. If the issue is secific to the CalDAV implementation in GDR2 rather than specific to my phone only, this would make a lot of angry people. I hope I'm wrong on this though as it's an extremely frustrating problem.

  • Duplicate calendar events using Intellisync

    I'm using Intellisync with my Treo 680 phone.  It works GREAT for my GroupWise 7.0.1 e-mail on both my phone and PC, but for some reason my calendar events are being duplicated several times on my Windows XP PC GroupWise when the phone and PC are synched.   They're  not duplicated on the Treo calendar.  Any ideas?
    Post relates to: Treo 680 (Cingular)

    A friend of mine who recently switched from a PC to Mac is experiencing the same problem after installing all the latest updates (Mac OS X 10.7.2 + iOS5 on his iPhone and iPad). He synchronizes his iPhone and iPad through iTunes with the iCal and Outlook 2011. The mac can't stop duplicating birthday alarms and currently has about 15 alarms per person.
    Anyone having some ideas or at least a solution to stop the replication until Apple releases an update? If BobRocks is right about this happening with each new iTunes version, that's a big shame...
