How to reduce iCal event time span?

How do I set default time span of an event to 1 hour in iCal? I'm using Version 5.0.2 (1571) and the current default is set to something like 6 or 8 hours and it's driving me nuts! A related aggravation is that an event can unintentionally end up spanning 2 days! It used to work just fine in previous versions -- why did they "fix" this and how do I make the current version be truly useful like the old version?

Hi,
I guess you are adding events in Month view. From iCal's help file about entering events in Month view.
Add a new event in Month view by double-clicking within the day you want the event to appear. Enter a name and time duration for the event in the event’s title field, and then press Return.
iCal moves the event to the correct time and sets it to the correct duration. For example, you can double-click within a day in Month view, enter “Movie 7-9pm,” and then press Return.
If you don’t enter a time duration, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour.
If you don’t enter any time information, iCal makes the event an all-day event.
Add a start time in the event title to make a timed 1 hour event. The time part of the title is stripped out.
Best wishes

How to forward iCal events

Does anyone know how to forward iCal events to new attendees?

Hi jwinter0425,
Here's how you mail an existing event:
1. Right-click on the event in iCal
2. Click "Mail Event"
If you're sending this to an Microsoft Outlook/Exchange user, they won't be able to open it. I've developed an iCal plug-in that resolves iCal-to-Outlook compatibility issues. It's worth checking it out. http://www.zamain.com.

How do I "show event times" on iCal Version 7.0?

I need to see event times in my month view on iCal, but there is no box to check in iCal Preferences that allows me to select "Show Event Times" as is suggested online. Can anyone help? I am running iCal Version 7.0 on my Mac OS X (10.9.4) system. Thanks!

Hi,
You can find duplicates on iTunes 11.0.5. I believe there was a problem with iTunes 11.0.0 but was fixed.

ICal event times not in sync

Maybe this has been answered but I couldn't find anything on a search...
so my iCal on my computer and my iPhone iCal aren't syncing event times correctly. For instance I'll have an event on computer iCal at say, Friday 1pm but on iPhone iCal it says 6pm. All of the events have the wrong times on the iPhone.
I've reset my iSync history and that did not fix the problem. I've "Replaced information on this iPhone" and that didn't work either. Currently I sync my Entourage calendar to iCal and that works fine. But again when I then sync iCal to my iPhone it screws up all of the dates.
Any ideas why?

figured it out. it was a time zone syncing problem.

How to reduce the cloning time if using cold backup?

Hi,
We are using EBS r12 (12.0.6) with database 10.2.0.3 in Linux Redhat 4 32-bit envoirnment.
Our datbase size is around 480 GB and we are facing the issues to provide the clone to my consultants for meet the target timelines in given time.
(Source:)---- Production Dell R900 Server machine having 32-GB RAM and 8 Quard Core CPU's.
(Target:)---- Clone Dell 2950 Server machine having 16-GB RAM and 4-Quard Core CPU's.
Currectly we are taking cold backup like:
1: Auto shutdown EBS r12 database nighthy at 12:00 AM daily and compress the backup using tar utility in linux. This process takes 6:00 hours aprox:
2: After that we move compressed file to clone machine and then uncompressed it, and this process takes 5:00 hours aprox.
3: And performe standard cloning steps.
Questions:
1: How to reduce time of this backup process?
3: Is there any other way to reduce the cloning process.
2: What type of backup oracle recommended to their customers for this type of process?
Thanks.

1: How to reduce time of this backup process?Without using third party tools, it might be hard to tune the timing of compressing/uncompressing the file.
Have you tried to use scp command? This would help if your network throughput is acceptable.
3: Is there any other way to reduce the cloning process.Since the main issue you have with the copy, then you might copy the files remotely from the source to the target, or using any other storage/backup tools (like file system snapshot).
2: What type of backup oracle recommended to their customers for this type of process?Oracle does not recommend any type of backup as the tools used are not Oracle products.
Thanks,
Hussein

How to reduce Oracle Cluster Time Synchronization time to 0

Hi Guys,
How to reduce Offset (in msec) of Oracle Cluster Time Synchronization time to 0 ???
is there any command or is it the only solution to wait to become 0 slowly...
[root@caslive bin]# ./crsctl check ctss

Hi,
1.From DB02--> detail analysis menu you can take out top 50 tables & indexes. you can mark the size of the index should be generally less than the table.If its more or very much similar size of table, you can rebuild it using SE14. This can free some space.
or else you may use brspace to do this.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/58/6bec38c9fa7e44b7f2163905863575/frameset.htm
In case of table this option is risky as it may result in data loss.
2. Earlywatch alert gives the top 20 degenrated index. you can check that which also gives a factor 'storage quality'.
3. Run report SAP_DROP_TMPTABLES. It removes temporary database objects. ( we do this in our BW system)
Hope this helps
Thanks

ICal event times changed when my mac updated time to daylight saving time

When my mac updated its time automatically to daylight saving time, the timed events in iCal all had an hour added to them. Time zone support is off in iCal. I tried changing my time zone from the system preferences (just to see what happens) and the iCal times also change. Is there any way to turn off this ridiculous and useless (to me) feature? I travel quite a bit and all iCal events are always added in local time scheduling. So there is no need for the event times to change when I change time zone!
Thanks!

I am having the same problem but it's only some of the appointments that were changed. I think some were entered after the update and perhaps those weren't changed. Very confusing.

How to reduce Post-Processing time in oracle applications R12?

Hi All,
I ran a XMLP concurrent program at 16-APR-2015 11:23:52 . It's completed at 16-APR-2015 11:30:41. So it took 6 minute 49 seconds. I check the query in sql developer, it's executing less than two minutes. When I check the log file of that program shows the following info...
Beginning post-processing of request 22226009 on node DEV at 16-APR-2015 11:24:43.
Post-processing of request 22226009 completed at 16-APR-2015 11:30:41.
So what is the reason?, and how to reduce the time?

HTML is a simple format (Text).
Excel is more complicated and requires more time to generate. The same applies for Word and PDF output.
Maybe the processing power and memory of the server are not high and this does not help generate the output faster.
I have a workaround for you, generate an XML file (which should finish faster) and open it in Excel.

How to restore ical with time machine

I have (some how) lost all of my appointments in my "Work Calendar" within iCal except for one entry (which is strangs).
I have been trying to restore from Time Machine, but, the user interface for iCal through Time Machine is "not easy" to figure out or to use.
I am unable to open the iCal folder as I can do with other ones to restore the data.
How can I do this - I have never been able to do this restore in iCal & Contacts.
Please can any one help me?

Another factor that may be relevant is that I seen iCal appear and disappear from the MobileMe list of things to synch. It's out of view 99% of the time.
If you are talking about something you see in System Preferences>MobileMe then it's not relevant - iCal does not in fact sync, it reads the calendars directly from the server (though there is by default a cached local copy) and as I said the settings in that prefs pane are nothing to do with iCal any more.
iCal is controlled in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts& Calendars and you should check that your MobileMe login details are correctly entered there - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4758
As to the process I detailed, in the first set of numbered instructions, please make sure that when you have exported your MobileMe calendars you import them back into a calendar listed under 'On My Mac' - these cannot be deleted by MobileMe and from your description it sounds as if you may not have done this. Given your problems, I would suggest choosing new name sfor the calendars, at least temporarily.
Then when you reconnect to the internet it should not be possible for MobileMe to delete the calendars and you can proceed with the next steps.

ICal event times are incorrect when importing to iPhone.

For some reason, although iPhone imports events from iCal, the times for the events are incorrect! This is extremely problematic. Any suggestions on a fix? i am using Leopard 10.5.1, MacPro, and have the 8GB version of the iPhone.

you may want to check your time settings on your macpro first: system preference>date&time>time zone... make sure you have the right time zone and city, then in system preference>date&time>date&time... check "set date & time automatically".
then in ical: ical>preferences>advanced, make sure you have "Turn on time zone support" selected.
finally on the iphone: settings>general>date&time, make sure you have time zone support selected and the right time zone/city.
hope this helps.

I moved across the country. My iCal event times fell back 3 hours.

So, I moved from the East Coast the West Coast. Now all my recurring events and items created on the east coast (while out there) are appearing as 3 hours earlier on my iCal and iPhone. Example:
Original event time: 1 pm (created on east coast)
Event time in iCal now: 10 am (3 hours earlier)
DESIRED time in iCal: 1 pm
Is there a way to do this automatically without having to go into each event and change manually? Thanks in advance!
T

Yes, go to your settings and under Advanced, turn off Time Zone support.

How to reduced instance recovery time

Hello Friends how are you all. I hope you all will be fine. friends I want to reduced the instance recovery time but i don't know which views or parameters which could helpful for me. Please tell me the way how can i reduced the instance recovery time.
Thanks & Best Wishes

Hi,
Reduced instance recovery time
check ur DB size, is it connected many users.
my advice is do not set the reduced instance recovery time, it may be decreased run-time peformance.
the following procedure
-) Frequent checkpoints
-) reduce instance recovery time
-) set FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET parameter
-) size the Online redo log files
-) Implent manual checkpoints
-) reduce log_buffer size
-) Decrease run-time performance
