I FINALLY figured out the iCal to Google sync!!!

This is not as straight forward as some would lead you to believe! Once you have done it, it's surprisingly simple, but you have to do the steps in order. Here's what I've found:
1st - create your iCal calendar with all the entries and calendars you wish.
2nd - create a BLANK Google calendar to use (not a sub-calenday, but your main Google Calendar)
3rd - in iCal, export each calendar you have (if only one, fine) to your desktop
4th - in Google Calendar create those same calendar titles (this is where you'll be importing the exported iCal calendars too)
5th - import exported iCal calendars into matching google calendars
6th - in iCal turn off your calendars by unchecking them
7th - in iCal go to iCal > Preferences > at the bottom of the "Accounts" box there will be a "+" and "-" signs. click on the "+" and follow the prompts.
8th - once the link is set up go to the "delegations" tab and there should be a list of all the calendars (except if you only had one, and then this does not apply). select each calendar you want to sync with.
9th - Now you can go back to the calendar portion of iCal and delete all the iCal calendars. There should be a list of Delegates that matches the iCal calendars you are deleting. If not DO NOT DELETE the ICal Calendars. Start over!
If you run into problems contact me here.

When I originally imported the *.ics file I received this message: Failed to import events: Unable to process your iCal/CSV file..
Most of the events moved over. The sync seemed to not care when or by whom the events were created. There were events created by the same person with the same parameters, and not all those events moved over. Ones created on the iCal prior to export did not come over at all, but still show in iCal.
I also need to mention the iCal is linked to the Entourage. I did not delete that calendar from iCal, so not sure if that would create an issue. It is unchecked though. I am leary of deleting the calendars not knowing if the Entourage link will be lost. The events on this computer all come through Entourage (the program is also used for emails and address book).

  • I finally figured out the specs i want!

    so after reading alot of articals such as barefeats benchmarks and all of your topics i finally narrowed it down what im getting hear it is and let me so if its cool.
    two 3.2 ghz 2gb ram 1tb hd ati radeon 2600Xt airport extreme card
    not sure if i acully need airport but im concidering it.

    Hi,
    as a personal suggestion: get at least 4GB of RAM either from Apple or from the aftermarket like OWC.
    Your Mac Pro will love you for that.
    Otherwise a fine and good decision.
    Have Fun

  • I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?

    I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?  Presently after exporting and burning each photo is identified by the file name rather than each individual title description.  

    File name and Title are not the same thing.
    Filename is attached to the Jpeg file in the Finder.
    Title is attached to the photo within the Jpeg file - as is the description. These are written to the Exif and IPTC metadata on export.
    So: File -> Export. Kind: Jpeg or Tiff and Check the box at 'Title and Keywords'. This will write the Title, keywords and descriptions (though not explicitly stated) to the metadata. This can then be viewed in any app that understand this material.
    You can choose, if you wish, to also use the Title as a Filename - that's an option at File Name

  • I have aol for mac.  I can't figure out the mail or how to retrieve folders or mailboxes

    First, I don't know if I have a mac intel or a ppc.  I don't know what that means.  Anyway, I have had a pc and aol since the dinosaur days.  Just the other day I got a mac.  I have had iphones since they began and my boys have macs so I thought what the heck.  Well, it is so confusing I am pulling my hair out.  My husband says icloud is on my phone, ipad and mac.  I am having trouble keeping all my photos from automatically moving to my phone.  I don't want 1400 photos on my phone, only some of them and can't figure out how to make it do that.
    This question though is about the mail.  I loaded aol onto the mac.  I wanted all my mail to transfer over like it always has when changing pc's.  But it did not give that option with the mac, so it just brought over my account but not my mail, saved folders and all.  I have folders for bills, shopping, insurance, christmas, many many things.  Probably 12-15 of them and when I get email in that I need to keep, I put it in one of those folders and can go back to it at any time.  However with the apple, they don't have folders, they are called mailboxes.  Now I finally figured out how to make new mailboxes for each subject.  However, they do not show up on the left under the mail stuff.  You have to go to toolbar once you highlight the email and go to view, then to move to or something like that, then you see the folders.  If you click on one, supposedly the email goes in there.  However, there is no way to tell for sure because you cannot go to them at all otherwise.  And you can't open the folder cuz it is not in bold unless you are putting something in there.  Then it goes away.  So I don't know if it went in there so I can't delete it and it just keeps piling up.  Also, my sent mail doesn't save automatically, nor does anything else.  Right now my email has a dash out where it says how many emails you have incoming, but it was never there before and I don't think I got any of my mail today that I got now that I am on the pc so how do I take that off.
    Also on the on the mac list it says it has like 80 something there, but it won't let me double click or see what it is, so I don't understand.  I just want to get it organized.
    Thank you so much for your time.  I appreciate all the help I can get.

    Hi Janice
    Fortunately, AOL keeps a copy of mail and folders on their server, so you can be reassured that the email is there, you just have to find a way to access it.
    There are three ways to read AOL mail on your Mac.
    - You can open a browser such as Safari, log into http://aol.com, and read mail there (ie "webmail");
    - You can install the AOL Desktop software, which is probably what you had on the PC. I don't tend to recommend this, as there's usually no need to install extra software, and I've found it very sluggish on a Mac. However, for people who are very used to it and dont want to change, the option is there;
    - You can read AOL email in the Apple Mail application.
    If you have added your AOL to Apple Mail, your mailboxes/folders should be available to you under a heading called "AOL" (you may have named your account differently). The mailboxes are on the left side - as mentioned above, you can hide and show the mailbox panel. (There's a "Show" button on the top left to reveal the mailboxes, which changes to "Hide" when you click it. If you already see "Hide", then you're fine.)
    The server mailbox heading will be at the bottom of the mailbox panel on the bottom left. If you move your cursor over it, and you see the word "Show" appear, click that word. That will reveal the mailboxes within that server account.
    In the example above, my server mail account is called "Google", but the principle is the same. Clicking "Show" will reveal all the mail folders held on the server. The same thing should work for your AOL account.
    Hope that helps.

  • I need help figuring out the best way to convert analogue video to DV so that I can edit it.

    I have a large number of VHS and hi8 tapes that I want to convert to high quality DV.
    I have a couple of options. One is an Elgado Video capture system.
    The other is a Sony Digital Media Converter Box (DVMC-DA2).
    I have tried a few of the less important tapes using the Elgado Video Capture system. It only allows you to convert to MPEG4 or H.268. It is not very good quality, especially for archival items or items I would later wish to edit.
    I also have the Sony Digital Media Converter Box. I have heard that this is a superior option. So far, though, I have only been able to figure out how to import using an old version of iMovie HD. This makes a large imovie project file (approximately 6.18GB for a 28:30 clip vs a 348.9MB for an MPEG4 using delgado.
    On top of that to convert the file from an iMovieProject file to DV is an additional step that so far looks like will take a half an hour at best.
    Is there any way for me to import VHS/hi8 tapes using the Digital Media Converter Box to creat high quality DV files directly? If so, where can I find this info? What steps should I take and what are the settings I should use.
    I have a lot of tapes so I want to figure out the right and most efficient way to do this because I will be repeating it a bunch of times and would hate to have to start over again.
    I should also mention that I am using a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, with OSX 10.9.1
    I'm sorry in advance if this seems like an obvious question, but I have been googling and looking at tutorials on the site and just have not found the answer. There are a lot of ads for expensive low quality services to do this converting for you, so maybe the answer I am looking for is burried in all that advertising.
    Thanks

    Thanks Biggles and Gotz. I just couldint find capture, but now I can! (It was right under my nose too).
    I'm trying it now and it appears to be working. Do you have any other recommendations for capturing from hi8 video source as far as setting go? I am using DV to capture. Are there any other settings I should pay attention to?
    There is an extra line of video noise at the bottom, but when I google it, it sounds like it won't show on most standard tvs and if I want to fix it for online, that I should mask it after the fact vs scaling up the video.

  • Is there a way to figure out the name behind an Apple ID?

    Is there a way to figure out the name behind an Apple ID?  My oganization uses an iPad as a kiosk.  Somone accessed the iPad, changed the Apple ID associated with iTunes, downloaded a game and set a password to lock up the whole iPad.  We had to completely restore the iPad in order to access it.  When I tried to upload a new app, a different Apple ID popped up, and I'm assuming it was the person who locked the iPad and downloaded the game.  I would like to figure out who owns that account, just so we can not allow that person access to the iPads anymore.
    Is there a way to do this?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Perhaps with a court order because the person committed a criminal act. Otherwise it is doubtful that Apple would violate the privacy of a client/account holder just on your word.

  • Is there a way to dynamically figure out the FIRSTROW & LASTROW using Bulk Insert?

    I noticed most of my files follow a certain convention, so I can use Bulk Insert with this:
    FIRSTROW = 2, LASTROW = 224
    However a few files have many more records.  I'd like SQL Server to dynamically figure out the first and last rows with data, but I don't know if that's possible.  Can someone confirm?
    Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

    Nope, you would need read the files from some program. Could be a CLR stored procedure if you want to do it from SQL Server. But from BULK INSERT alone, no.

  • I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this?

    I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have found GearGrip's LCD harness so that I can do carry-on onto the plane...  Or maybe use a Pelican Case to do it as a "checked bag"? Or any other suggestions??! Please help!
    Thanks so much!!

    I don't recommend you send the iMac in a checked bag. Might get damaged.
    Check the airlines website for carry on guidelines.
    Or, if you have the original box that the iMac came in, if you have someone who can pick up the iMac for you, send it ahead Fed Ex and insure the package.
    Just make sure the display is covered to protect it. A blanket perhaps.

  • Unable to figure out the classnotfoundException

    Dear Members,
    I have an applet on which I want to show images. I have put .class and .html in the same directory and the images in the images directory.
    I'm usong Tomcat 5.5.4.
    Note: I have created certificates and also policy files for the applet.
    When I run the same code using eclipse, the code is working fine.
    And when I try to run in the browser its throwing the following Exceptions.
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: AdminApplet1$1
         at AdminApplet1.init(AdminApplet1.java:74)
         at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source)
         at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Where AdminApplet1 is my applet.
    Following is the code written in the .html
    <applet codebase="http://localhost:8080/project/"
            code="AdminApplet1"
            archive="SAdminApplet1.jar"
            height=400
            width=600 >
    </applet>where SAdminApplet1.jar is signed jar.
    I'm trying to figure out the problem since last 2 days. If you want more details about the problem please let me know.
    I have referred http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Security/Signed/
    for creating the certificates
    If you think I've gone wrong while creating the certificate then please show me a way.
    I'm looking forward for the helping hands.
    Thanks.

    Please put all the class files in the jar.
    Considor this example:
    import java.applet.*;
    public class test extends Applet {
         public void start() {
              System.out.println("this is start");
              try{
                   System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.version"));
                   (new subTest()).printSomething();
              }catch(Exception e){
                   e.printStackTrace();
         public void init(){
              System.out.println("this is init");
         class subTest{
              void printSomething(){
                   System.out.println("something");
    }compiling with javac test.java gives me:
    test.class
    test$subTest.class
    When I remove test$subTest.class and open the applet with a html page I get:
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: test$subTest
    (looks familiar?)
