I cannot change time in NEW EVENT scheduler box

The time has a letter in the hour place. It can be highlighted but will not change to a number

gueroboi,
Glad to hear your problem is resolved.
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption, by Dr. Smoke would have been my next recommendation. You might want to be aware of what you can do on your own.

In setting up my ICal calendar I have specific times (as new events) that I want to be included in the print out. This doesn't happen.

In setting up my ICAL calendar I have specific times (as new events) for each day. When it prints out the time does not show up (rather its a bar). I would like the time for each appointment to print out. How do I do this?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

John,
Thanks for that suggestion - could not get it to work. However, I did manage a different approach. I finally determined the sequence of events in terms of how the various events and listeners fire (I think).
Basically, the CalendarActivityListener fires, followed by the listener associated with the Calendar object's Create facet, followed finally by the CalendarEventListener - the final is where the TriggerEvent is available and then finally, control is passed to the popup/dialog in the Create facet. So, my approach of trying to set/get the TriggerDate in the user's HTTP session was doomed to failure because it was being get before it had been set :(
Anyway, I ended up adding a bit of code to the CalendarEvent listener - it grabs the current BindingContext, navigates through the DCBindingContainer to derive an Iterator for the ViewObject which drives the calendar and then grabs the currently active row. I then do a few tests to make sure we're working with a "new" row because I don't want to alter start & end dates associated with an existing calendar entry and then I define the Start and End dates to be the Trigger Date.
Works just fine. Snippet from the listener follows
BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();+
*if ( bindingContext != null ) {*+
DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer) bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();+
DCIteratorBinding iterator = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("EventsView1Iterator");+
Row currentRow = iterator.getCurrentRow();+
if ( currentRow.getAttribute("StartDate") == null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("StartDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
if (currentRow.getAttribute("EndDate")==null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("EndDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
*}*

ICal changes times of my events based on Time Zone! Argh!

This is so weird...
I travel btwn NYC and LA, and if schedule an event on my iCal, either on the iPad, iPhone or MacBook Pro (all connected via MobileMe), when I change time zones, it changes the time of the event for that time zone. As opposed to keeping it at the correct time that it was actually scheduled at. For example, if I'm in New York City, and create an event for the following week that's taking place at 8pm, when I get to Los Angeles, it tells me the event is at 5pm.
I leave all of my Apple products to Automatically Set Time based on location. Is there something else I should be doing here?
Help!

Go to settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendar; then time zone support. Set your time zone.

Default time for new event is always 15 min b4...

I think Ical is great and i use it daily to help me with my biz to stay on top of calls i need to make.
I am constantly adding new events and i always want my new events to open with a default time of "0" rather than "15 minutes before". It is very tedious to constantly have to change this every time I make a new event.
I also would hope to do the same thing with the alarm default feature so that I can change the default setting from "none" to "open file" since I always set alarms on all my new events this way. I am sure other ppl have the same problem if this ical a lot and would love to know how to tweak this or fix this in an update.
Apple if there is (or isn't) a way to fix this then plz tell me so instead of ignoring this post as I noticed a similar post someone else made has been ignored,
TY
ERIC

Bump. I'd like to know this as well. I don't see a preference for this in com.apple.iCal.plist
9AM every day would be perfect as a default

Event name changes back to 'new event'

When I put in an event and hit enter or apply, quite often the name doesn't stay but reverts to 'New Event'. Any ideas how to stop this. I thought it was a bug that everyone would have and that an update would fix it, but I've had it for a long time now. It started sometime after installing Lion and/or the update after that.

Give us a bit more info.. I am guessing you are using Mavericks on the computer.. but if not exactly what OS?
And please what does Airport + TC actually mean.. and how are they configured and connected???
The TC is highly unlikely to change the name of the hard disk drive. Auto spontaneously.. that would be extremely unusual.
But for Mavericks to get it fouled up is not hard to fathom at all. It is a hopeless OS with the TC network drive.
Can you please change the drive name back to what you want.. but ensure the TC has no spaces or special characters in its name or the name of the drive. And max of 20 characters.
Then in Finder mount the disk manually.. use top menu, Go, Connect to Server.. and type
AFP://TCname or IPaddress (where you replace with the actual name or ip).
The computer should find the resources and require you to register the password.. keep it in your keychain so it is not forgotten.
Then delete the current TM setup and redo it.
See A4 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Any backup over wireless is slow..
Any backup over double hop wireless ie extend wireless from AE to TC.. you will discover a new meaning to the word "SLOW".. pain and suffering like the belly of Sarlacc awaits you.. do not do it.. never double hop wireless for backups. Connect units by ethernet so there is max one wireless link.
Good luck.

I have absolutely no use for "Events" in iPhoto: can I get rid of this concept? I am importing photos maybe one or a dozen times a day and cannot avoid creating a new event each time. Or can I?

As my long question implies (sorry, should have kept it shorter) I have a problem with being forced to have Events in my iPhoto'11 9.2.3 (629.52) on my MacBook 10.6.8. My habit is to unload the camera constantly, whether I have taken a single shot or a whole series. Each new addition creates an Event which actually bothers me!
Is there a way of avoiding this? If I erase an event from iPhoto the photos will disappear from the Library it seems ... Please help with your advice. Thanks! Sigrid.

Thanks, OT!
When I look at my odd(?) habits of dealing with iPhoto anyone will see that I have a very simplistic approach: I never let one single Library get bigger than 300 or 400 photos, then back it up as is and make a separate, manual backup of the different albums as named by myself on an external HD. Then I delete the Library as such from my Mac but can reinstate it from the backups as I please. The backups are properly labelled, of course.
I get dizzy when I read about libraries of thousands of photos, of keywords, ratings, smart albums etc. because this just wouldn't apply to my so-called system. So instead of using Faces and Places, my album names show clearly what's in them - "skies and scenery" Euskadi, "bugs and birds at Fancourt", "inventories", "people" (separate for my circle of people and characters from media), "my dog" etc., usually a bunch of 20 albums or so depending on my whereabouts. Quite manageable!
I've been doing just fine with this method and would recommend it ... but others are much brighter ;-) and use the offered (and to me too advanced) features of iPhoto, if they prefer these. Now that I know how to get rid of Events by merging them into one, I at least feel a little freer there.
Well, it's 1:25AM my time, gotta go ...

Cannot change dates in new upgrade

Since the upgrade of iphoto this week i have been unable to change the date of my events, When i bring the event up and check info the date is correct but not on the event page, This becomes a problem when i would like all my evens in chronological order,,,,,Can anyone help. PLEASE

This has been reported a few times - I have not seen it
Report to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
If things are working correctly the event dates are simply a reporting of the dates of the photos within the event - be sure that there is not a photo in there with a wrong date - try welecting all of them and adjusting the time by one seond and marking to change the original and see if that has any effect

Cannot change time info on photo PS Elements 13 for Mac

Hello!
I took pictures with the date/time stamp on my camera set to the wrong time. When I try to correct the time on the photo under "file info", the time does not stay corrected. Please help! Thank you!

Adobe chat was worthless. I was told "chat support" not available for 13, then hung up upon. I cannot get support on a brand new purchase??? Really? Not happy.

IPod changes times for iCal events

My iPod seems to be changing the time of my iCal events. For example, the event in iCal is set for 1 p.m., but when I use iSync to sync, it shows up on my iPod as starting at 8 a.m.
Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for the response. Do you know how I can match time zones? I've got my iMac set up on the Central time zone, and my iPod also shows the correct Central time zone. I haven't been able to find a time zone setting in iSync.

How can I change and create new events?

iPhoto for iPad seems to stick some naming convention for creating Events. Is there a way to:
1. change the Event name?
2. Split events?
3. Rearrange photos to certain events?
pacpac

It is very simple. To create an event, you can tell Siri, tell her to create events and she will ask you questions and at the end, the event will be done. Or go to the calendar and on the top right corner there should be a + and then you enter the information for the event and hit done. To edit the events, simply go tot he calendar and tap on the event, there it will show you the information and then you can change it.

Cannot change time in clip adjustment

I am having a problem altering the length of clips. I have a set of photos and want each still to be 0.3s.
I change the first clip to 0.3s and check "apply to all stills". Some are 0.3s, but others change to 1.3s, 1.1s or 0.1s. When I try to correct each individual still to 0.3s, it just changes back to 1.3s or 1.1s or 0.1s. It is almost as if iMovie wants the entire sequence to be a set time and is fitting the clips to that length.
Any suggestions?

Transitions generally work by "borrowing half the frames need from the preceeding clip and half the frames from the following clip.
For example, if you had 2 four second photos and added a fade through black transition of .5 seconds, it would take 8 frames from the preceeding clip and 8 frames from the next clip.
Now you have 112 frames (= .93 seconds) + 16 frame transition (= .53 seconds) + 112 frames = .93 seconds. Total frames = 240, same as before you started.
You may be able to override this behavior for photos only (not video).
Go into File/Project Properties. Go to the Timing Tab.
Select the photo length you like using the slider. Put a check mark on "Applies to all photos".
That should make your project get longer.

I cannot change Time Machine interval with Terminal

Time Machine worked every 6 hours under Leopard using command
sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto StartInterval -int 21600
but it doesn't work under Snow Leopard. I mean, TM backups every hour.
In fact, I opened com.apple.backupd-auto and check StartInterval but the property is 21600.
Does anyone have an idea or suggestion?

make sure that the permissions on the launch daemon are correct.
run
sudo chmod 644 /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto.plist
and restart.

Cannot change APN for new SIM card

Dear all,
I had a Telekom contract in Germany. Now I changed to Congstar and inserted the SIM card. But there is no netweork access. I researched and I need to change the APN settings. However, these are not accessable in the settings menu. It is somehow hidden. What shall I do?
Kind regards
Topas21

OK. The solution was that Apple needs to unlock the handy, meaning to open the simlock.
I thought simlock is only applicable if you buy a handy that is right from the beginning locked to a specific carrier. But apparently Apple also adds a simlock if you buy a handy without simlock and adds this after you chose your first carrier. Then they have to release it afterwards. Makes no sense to me. But it adds restrictions, so Apple likes it...

Cannot change Email Preference in Drop Down Box

All my software is up to date on Snow Leapord. I use AOL Desktop for accessing my email and it is the most current AOL Desktop for Mac 1.7.722 (722). I just did the desktop upgrade 2 weeks ago.
I can no longer send pictures through AOL.
When I go to iPhoto preferences > General > the drop down box next to "Email photos using: has "Mail" highlighted. I cannot choose anything else. They are all greyed out (AOL, Eudora and Microsoft Entourage). I don't use Eudora or Entourage so they don't matter to me, but all 3 cannot be used. I have tried everything to get it to recognize AOL but it does not.
I called AOL and they had me unistall every AOL application and file on the computer and reinstall the new AOL desktop again but this did not work either. They said it was not their problem and must be with Apple and iPhoto.
When I called Apple (I have Apple care), they gave me a work around to send photos to the desktop and then attach to an AOL email, They could not help me otherwise, but I would rather use it the way I used to. Why won't it allow me to pick AOL (Which is shown in the drop down)
Can anyone give me help.

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
also note that you probably can select the photo(s) and drag them to the AOL Desktop icon in the Dock to create your e-mail
I just did the desktop upgrade 2 weeks ago.
I can no longer send pictures through AOL.
To me this clearly says that the issue is AOL desktop since it worked until you upgraded and after upgrading does not
