How To Use iCal To It's Full Potential?

I've had iCal on my Macbook since I bought it 9 months ago and have used iCal on a moderate basis.
It's only been moderate because it never really hooked me to organizing my life within it. Usually I just use a pen and paper to jot down my priorities and events but I figure that's pretty lame, especially since I carry my Macbook everywhere.
Any suggestions on how to use iCal to its full extent?
Any possible programs or downloads to enhance my iCal experience?
Any advice would be great as I want to begin to utilize iCal on a daily basis.
thanks!

If you bill for your time on a project-by-project basis, or simply need to keep track of time intervals required to complete tasks or projects, TimeLog—a low cost application that communicates with iCal and interacts with the synchronization framework—will do that.

How to using ical with two separate iphones

hello
trying to understand and learn how to use Ical with 2 different Iphones, using Icloud.

To sync iCal across computers, the calendar needs to be published to a server. This can be a local server that you can set up, or it can be something like google or microsoft exchange or apple's mobile me. The best bet may be to wait until fall and see what iCloud offers!
Sharing your screen can be accomplished a few different ways. You can have two iChat accounts set up, and have one logged in on each computer, and then use iChat's screen share feature. The other way is to go to System Preferences, Sharing, and then check the box next to Screen Sharing. You may have to adjust some of the settings in there, but give that a shot.

How to use iCal Server with clients?

Ok, so since I can't find this anywhere... How do I use iCal Server with other desktop clients? I've selected the user, enabled calendaring, the user can authenticate in web-based group calendars. But then I'm stuck.
How do I give them their own calendar?
In iCal, I go to Accounts and try and enter the info but it fails every time. I tried the dns name like so: "calendar.example.edu" but it generates an error. But the user can log in to the web calendar for groups. Where is the users individual calendar located?
The help menu ignores that field as if it's not needed, but then it fails because the calendar doesn't know where the server is. The clients can't all be OD bound, so this has to work outside of Open Directory. According to Apple other CalDAV clients can connect too. How? Computers just don't "connect" on their own.
Anyone know the answer?

I was getting the same error when I tried to subscribe to a calendar using:
Subscribe to: http://myserver.example.com:8008/
principals/users/usershortname
I found that if I added a trailing slash to the URL then it would work :
Subscribe to: http://myserver.example.com:8008/
principals/users/usershortname/
(the way I found this was to navigate via the web browser to http://myserver.example.com:8008 then authenticate as a user, then navigating through to http://myserver.example.com:8008/principals/users/ where you can see all the user names all with a trailing slash after them)
hope this helps

How do I use ical with ios 107 update?

I use ical for my dog grooming business & the ical was perfect for it but when I did the update to my ipad it is very difficult to use. On the old one I could look at the month ahead & if I seen a day that I wanted to look at I could just double click on that day & it would pull that day up for me but now I have it takes me for ever to figure out how to look up what I need to. This update for the ical does NOT work for me. Back to my ? is there any way to put the old one back on?

Thanks, I tried ALL of the above, BUT found no success.
I went through all the avenues to avoid paying $19 + tax for an Apple service call, and I will share my issue and solution here. I did all the removing of the calendar, resyncing and still had no calendar on my iPod.
The last time this happened, I believe it was an issue with the installer file. I think the Senior Tech just wanted to make sure it didn't happen ever again.
This time, I talked with a normal IT Tech (for free), after waiting some time, she came back and asked me to reset my iPod. For those of you that need the step-by-step here it is (mine is an iPod Classic 120 GB):
- Move the lock button back and forth, until you see the display change from lock to unlock
- Hold down Menu button and middle circular button (I guess you can call this the ENTER button) simultaneously until Apple logo appears in middle of screen (and nothing else)
- Wait a matter of moments until the screen comes back with your menu items, icons, etc.
- Check to verify calendar is there.
If the other options above don't work, this is the next step. Save yourself $20 and try this first.
Good advice (that I am going to try in the future): just reset your iPod every month or two, and avoid all the hassle I had!
Good luck!

Imac is 4 months old. Using installed Outlook for Mac 2011 but now want to use ical so that I can start to use iCloud to sync with my Ipad2 and iPhone. How do I move my calendar from outlook to ical on the iMac?

This is my first attempt at using this forum so please be patient with me. I am new to the apple world. Bought an Imac desktop computer back in October and installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 because I was used to Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and outlook. Now I am being told that I should be using ical for my calendar so that I will be better able to move to icloud for use between my Imac, Ipad2, and Iphone.
The question is: how do I move my calendar which is in "Outlook for Mac 2011" into ical on my Mac? Do I have to remove the Outlook entries from the computer and reinstall them back to the same machine or can I somehow move calendar entries within the machine? I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it.

How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it. I receive a dialogue box which states previews are not allowed in aperture and the application is shut down.

Aperture is Apples version of Lightroom. This has nothing to do with Adobe. Ask on a Apple forum. You won't find many people here using this program.

Using iCal on iPhone in Day view - How can I move divider to give more space to all-day events?

I am using iCal on an iPhone
I would like to move the divider that seperates all-day events from the timed events. I would like to view with more room for all-day events and less room for timed events. How can I do this?

If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

Well...I went to the modem (Westell, WireSpeed), found the NAT settings, once again, I'm WAY over my head, I am assuming this is a TCP connection (as opposed to a UDP) and per Lorex my mobile devices will use port 1025. So I gave it a "global port range" of 1-10 and I indicated that the "base host port" was 80, 1025, & 9000 (ports 1,2,3). When I selected the 'enable' it asked for a "host devise" my choices are my IPhone, IMac and the IP address for the dvr, so I choose the dvr. I still cannot connect and canyouseeme still can NOT find these open ports. This is taking up my whole day! I don't know how people figure this stuff out.

How can I use CVI function TS_PropertyExists in Full-Featured Operator Interface

I'm trying to use the CVI function
HRESULT CVIFUNC TS_PropertyExists (CAObjHandle objectHandle, ERRORINFO *errorInfo, const char *lookupString, long options, VBOOL *val)
in full-featured operator interface source code shipped with TestStand 3.1. I have problem with the objectHandle parameter which I don't know how to use. Is there already a variable declared and initiliased in operator interface source code which corresponds the objectHandle parameter ? If not, how can I get an objectHandle ?
/Petri

Petri,
The object handle parameter is the ActiveX object handle obtained from Automation Method or property.
This object would depend on which property you want to check for existence.
Check the Using LabWindows/CVI with TestStand reference manual for more information.
Best Regards.

I shot at a Live performance last weekend by using the 'capture now' button. Now, my FCP is only playing the first 6 frames - how can I access or recover the full hour I shot?

FCP X? Then you need to use a different forum...This is the FCP 7 and earlier forum:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_pro_ x
FCP 7? Did it look like it captured normally? Everything go smoothly? Stop normal? Did an error occur at any point? Can you open the file in QT?
In the future...do not rely on ONLY FCP for this task. Get a reputable recorder that can record to ProRes. AJA KiPro, KiPro Mini, Atmos Ninja, Decklink Recorder...lots of options.

How to use delagated google task OsX iCal (not iOs, OsX!)

Hi,
So I have this little problem here. In Os10.7 I managed to get my gmail calendar in iCal, but the delegated TASKS are not showing in the Reminder.
I somehow have the same problem no my other computer, with Mountain Lion.
Is it simply impossible, or am I just forgetting something? This is crucial, because I have little interest in using iCal & Reminders if I cannot sinc with google (reason is, I am also using a PC)
thanks

Use Pacifist.
Also, be aware there is software that will run fine in Mt. Lion but fails to function properly in Mavericks. Logic 8 is apparently one example of this phenomena.
Snow Leopard, if it will boot and run on your iMac is probably your best option; even over Tiger or Leopard. Be sure to install the optional Rosetta (and IMHO, QuickTime 7).
You have a computer that is running 10.9.x Mavericks and put in your DVD drive your old install disk only to find a line crossed through it? The universal "no" symbol meaning it won't run?
This is usually a sign of PowerPC software which should run in Snow Leopard with Rosetta installed but not in Lion or thereafter without virtualization of SL.
I would not want to run this (CAD) software under any form of emulation mode - that would really kill its performance.
If virtualization becomes your only option: Do not forget that your older software will have better performance running on today's more powerful CPU's (i5, i7, etc.) in emulation/virtualization than they did on the older G4, G5 PowerPC CPU platform.
That being said CAD may have complex graphics that do not work well in virtualization.
You're just going to have to experiment and find the best operating environment for your software.

Where can I get full instructions on how to use photoshop?

Where can I get full instructions on how to use photoshop?

Hi Stephanie,
Photoshop is a huge program with a pretty steep learning curve. I would look at your local library or bookstore for a book for your particular version of Photoshop.
Adobe Classroom in a Book is a good starting point.
I also like books by Deke McClelland, Scott Kelby and Ben Willmore.
You may also want to look at signing up at Lynda.com to access their vast video tutorial library (I believe it is $25 USD/month.)
http://www.lynda.com/
Adobe TV has some good free tutorials:

Julieanne Kost (my hero) has a ton of resources:

Russell Brown also has some good videos:
