ICal alarm - how to hide it

Is there any way to hide iCal's alarm while I don't to deal with them (ie: haven't decided for how long i need postpone something and just want it out of my view for while) Ive tried hide but I can't (sometimes i can, sometimes I cant, which is weird..) Thanks

.ds_store is a hidden file that keeps track of all the postiions of your files in a folder when you open a window.
Why this hidden file has become visible is a mystery by me.
You can use the free Tinkertool to turn on all hidden files and then turn it off and this should catch it as it has the period in front.

How prevent iCal ALARM reminders popping up when not wanted?

Sometimes I don't want to see my alarm box popping up to remind me of things.
Suddenly, & frequently, the pesky iCal Alarm box pops up in the middle of the screen with another preset alarm reminder, insisting on my immediate attention. Like when I'm watching a video on my mac.
Then I've got to get up and move it out of the way, but as soon as I touch it, the video which I've set to full screen shrinks to small & I've got to click it to big again. This is just one of the inconveniences.
Please, how can I set the iCal alarm to give it a rest for a while and save those reminders for later
I've made lots of iCal alarms to remind me of things throughout the day. so these interruptions are a constant problem.
Q#2: Why doesn't my ALARM BOX show active the Yellow Button so I could relegate it to the side Dock? Or even the Green Button, so I could enlarge it when I want to see all my open reminders without scrolling?
Instead, My ical ALARM BOX only has the Red button, which closes it out and loses all those reminders therein until it's their time again.
Oh, dear, I don't think anybody can solve this problem.
Or
can
you?

HT2488 How do I create an iCal Alarm to delay send an e-mail in my Drafts folder of Mail?

I've learned how to use iCal Alarm to schedule sending an e-mail. However, all of the instructions I read say that I have to type the e-mail inside the automator's "New Mail Message". Is there a way to type the message in Mail, save it in drafts, and then create an iCal Alarm to schedule sending it?
I got as far as "Get Specified Mail Items" --> "Display Mail Messages". This sequence displayed a message in Drafts. What next to get it to send that message it displayed? I tried adding "Send Outgoing Message" to the sequence with no success. And I tried adding "New Mail Message" --> "Send Outgoing Message" to the sequence with no success.
Sometimes there will be several e-mails I want to delay send (some that I started earlier in the day, saved in Drafts and finished up in the wee hours of the morning) and it seems a waste to have to create a new iCal Alarm for each.
Thank you!

I don't know if "syncing", after you hide the purchases in iTunes, will also hide them on your phone, but give it a shot...see what happens. I have not tested yet.

How to keep ical alarms displayed after restarting

I notice that my iCal alarms disappear after quitting iCal or restarting my computer. For example "Call Doctor" shows up today at 8 am when I start work. I shut down for a meeting. I restart and the alarm message is gone. The event is still there. But I might forget to call unless I see the alarm again. I remember Microsoft Entourage did this and I found it very helpful. Is there a way to get this same effect with iCal?

Hi, This is not related to your question about ical alarms, but to a previous post you made when your iweb crashed when saving. I also had to use time machine to transfer all info to a new computer and I am having the same problem when I try to save. I did not completely understand your solution because I am not very savvy with computers. I did go in and change all the permissions to read and write, but I still have the problem. I don't know how to "add my account name to the File Info"-
I just spoke with a supervisor from Apple for two hours and who did not solve the problem. (He thought he did, but he did not and he has not called me back).
If you could give me an explanation of your solution, it would be very helpful and immensely appreciated.
Thank you for any assistance you can give me regarding this. I really need my iweb!

Here is the solution you posted:
I figured it out. It was those permissions. I simply added my account name to the File Info. For some reason the Time Machine restoration did not copy the permission for the package (however the contents had the correct permissions.

How can I get iCal alarm to sync with my iPhone 4?

My iCal alarm won't sync with my iPhone 4 if I add the event using iCal on my Mac. I find that if I set an alarm on iCal, I only get an alert on my computer. If I add an event on my iPhone, I get a pop up alarm on both the phone and the computer. I want to be able to add an event on my computer and get an alert on both devices. Is this option even possible?

Turn up the alert volume all the way in Sounds. Lock it so you can't change it with the buttons.

Ical alarm default email is incorrect, how do I change it to match "my card" in address book.

When I create a new event in Ical the default email that appears in the ical alarm drop down menu is incorrect. I have changed My Card in Address Book to match my new email address but ical still wants to use the old email address. I have also completely deleted the old email account from Mail too. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

If you've updated the account to have the correct email email address on the other devices tap on the old id id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version of the account so as to 'refresh' the account on them.

How to stop re-popping up old ical alarms, i.e. ical calender is not deletable, but keeps on coming back on screen after 30 secs.

hi, looks like I have a cache problem,
in ical I can't remove , delete a calendar. after 30 secs it comes back on screen. same happens with old , passed ical alarms.
i deleted the ical cache User/library/ical, however did not solve the problem

>> then I get a completely blue screen.
That probably means that you're not looking at a bug in Photoshop, but a problem with a driver - and the most likely cause would be your video card driver.
And sure enough, your video card driver is almost 2 years out of date.
Please go to NVidia's website and get the latest driver - then follow their directions for installation (so you don't get bits of old driver left over).

ICal Alarms are unreliable. Some show up, some don't. How to fix?

My iCal alarms are unreliable. Some work and some never show up. I've even copied and pasted an event from one place to another, and on the new date, it didn't work.

It depends on the way you told iTunes to sort your music.
It mostly happens with mp3's from friends, as some software does not put the mp3 tags in as iTunes do, cause there are different mp3-tag versions out there.
For example, if you choose in iTiunes to sort by Album Name, all songs without a matching entry in the "Album Name" field where sorted to "unknown album" or "build up a different album" if only some "Album Name" entry's are different.
Also, if no Artist Name is set in the informations, the tracks will get sort to "unknown artist"
As said before, put all songs from the album in question into a playlist and edit the information to be the same on every track.
You may also mark all traks from the album at once, right click, choose information and put the correct Album name in the field.

Ical alarm keeps trying to open file from old location

I have an iCal alarm to open an accounts file each day.
I moved the file to another folder,
and selected the new location iniCal.
It always gives me this:
Could not open file because 'Old/Path/to/File' could not be found.
When I look at the alarm section in the iCal event, there is a list of files.
When I choose the file (with the same file name) in the NEW folder, this list of files doesnt seem to update.
Is there of forcing iCal to open my new file path?
or a way of taking the OLD file out of this list?
Thank you for your help
Frazer

I just found how to removed the old files from my list
in the terminal I type:
open library/preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
and then delete the entries under PersistentMenu
Would still love to hear a more user friendly way to do this.
And a way to just get iCal to open the new file path, or how best to report this bug to apple

ICal Alarm on desktop won't go away

An iCal Alarm notice came up on my desktop. Usually one can cancel or close that notification box. But, this time the notice box will NOT go away. I can't close it, move it, delete it or anything else.
How can I get it to close - get if off my desktop?? Nothing so far has worked.

baronpilot,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Nothing so far has worked.
Could you clarify your troubleshooting steps...what have you tried so far?
In the meantime since I do not know what you have tried:
The first and easiest troubleshooting step involves replacing/refreshing the com.apple.iCal.plist file.
Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

ICal alarm causes application to close

When I try to open iCal I immediately have an iCal alarm pop up and the program closes.
Why is this happening? And more importantly, how can I fix it?
(I sync iCal with my Moto Q using Mark/Spaces The Missing Sync)

Hi Fred,
As we noted in your other post the issue is CR 8.5 is not side by side compatible with any other version of CR. As of Cr 9 we now are, UFL's can be copied into the respective install folders and they'll work together.
CR UFL's are COM UFL's meaning they get registered. Because they use the standard UFL naming convention Any version of CR will load them, we do this for compatibility so developers don't have to re-write/version their UFL's each time.
The only way is to NOT install any other version of CR on that 8.5 PC. Or if you can ask the makers of the UFL's convert them to non-COM ( using C++ ) u2l names then simply moving them into their app.exe folder should allow their software to continue working as long as their software is not in the PATH statement.
The other issue is possibly they did not make the UFL Appartment Model ( thread safe ) but I doubt it would make any difference.
CR 8.5 simple won't work with another version on the same PC.
As a final hack work around, create a batch file that will register the UFL and then one that will unregister the UFL when you want to use your software or their software. Also, try moving \windows\crystal into their folders app path but I don't recall if this will work, it's been a long time since we've had to deal with side by side issues of legacy applications like this.
Good luck
Don

ICal alarm sound

My iCal alarm works except there is no sound. Just the alarm window with a pulsating alarm clock. Any suggestions? Thanks

Check if your sound is on and how loud it is set, if that doesn't work check your sound settings in the system preferences > sound > Output (tab) and select the correct output device!
Have fun

Ical alarms still opening off screen

Are other people still having problems with Ical alarms opening up off screen After the 10.4.9 update?
Why would Apple say that it is finally fixed in their descriptions when it is Not?
I wonder who at Apple tests these things and how they get their results?

Add me to the list. I'm still getting my alerts almost completely off screen. As a software tester by trade, I'm a bit insulted that Apple would say it was fixed when it quite clearly is not.
