ICal - alarms for specific days (not dates)

I am very forgetful, and I often use iCal to make reminders for myself (using the alarm w/ sound). However, I often have weekly reminders at work. For example, I would back up our files at work on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I was wondering if there is a feature in iCal that can set reminders for specific days of the week. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Create an event on tuesday, go to the repeat menu,
select custom, mark the days you want the event to be
(tuesday and thursday). Then go to the alarm menu ans
set the sound you want.
Note: if you plan to sync to a palm device, the palm
doesn't accept events that repeat on specific
(multiple) days of the week, so create two events,
one that repeats every Tuesday and another for
Thursday.
Thank you so much! You solved my problem! -Catherine

  • Is there any way to sort the alarms differently in the Clock app? I have alarms for multiple days during the week, all of which overlap each other. It makes no sense to me that the alarms sort by time and not day. Thanks!

    No, there is no way to change the sort order.

  • Comment or attach document for specific cell of data

    Dear all,
       Is it possible to create comment or attached document for specific cell of data in Webi report?
       For example, the sales of certain product & yearmonth is lower than previous month. I want write some comment for that cell of data . Which function should I use? I try the "Discussion" function. But, it's for the whole report not for certain range of data and I can't attached document in there. Please advise.
    Thx,
    Jeff

    Hi Jeff,
    This one is the most popular request from most of our customers. But what we always tell the client is that the reports that are created in webintelligence are analytical in nature and it is not cell based. For every refresh of the report, you may get different results based on the parameters and your annotation will not hold good.
    We suggest two methods to solve this issue. 1) Discussions - Standard text with the parameters used for refreshing and the observation. This would be a good option if the report is shared with many people.
    2) Add a cell to the report, place it at the right place adjacent to the block which you want to observe. Make your comments in different colors. This would be good for reports which need to be presented to some audience.
    The below link shows a prototype called Comment It for Crystal Reports. But I don't think this is available for webintelligence.
    Comment it [original link is broken]

  • Search files for specific lines of data

    Hi all, I have a problem that I hope someone can help me with.
    I need to find a way to search for specific lines of data on a file.
    Here's the setup.... say for example I have 10 files, each filled with log files containing data like the date they were created and also certain information they were monitoring.
    From a Java applet, a user types in information that they want (for example, only lines that were created between 2002/04/04 and 2002/05/05 and only ones tagged with "Caution"). I need a way to grab all of those line from each of the files, without having to open each file, read each line and check for each search request. Instead, I want to simply grab all of the data at once, or at the very least, grab all of the data from the first file, then grab all of the data from the second file etc, without having to search each individual line. (the reason I'm hoping for a command like this is because there will eventually be thousands of files that need to be searched, and opening each one, and then search each line one by one would take too long.
    Sort of like a grep command in Linux. Does Java have a similar command?
    Any information or samples would be greatly appreciated!

    I don't know how much control you have over the files that you have to search.
    Searching XML files would be a lot easier because XPATH queries will work exactly like SQL... The only problem being if your files are not XML at all.
    If you have control over the format of these files you are trying to search, then try XML... else you might have to write a batch utility that runs every N seconds and converts data in these files to XML format files conforming to a specific format and then your applet could query the XML files.
    There will be a small concurrency issue there, though; As there will be at least some time consumed by the thread.

  • Temporary cancel a recurring alarm for the day?

    Is it possible to cancel a recurring alarm for the day? For instance, if I wake up early before the alarm goes off, I'd like to cancel the alarm from going off just for that morning. For now, I simply disable the alarm when I get up and then enable it again later in the night before I go to sleep. The problem with this is that I sometimes forget to enable it again.
    Maybe the iOS clock app doesn't have this function but perhaps there are other alarm clock apps that can do this?

  • ICal Alarm for birthdays

    I am unable to set an alarm for birthdays. I cannot believe that this is not possible to do, anyone got any ideas?

    Hi,
    A lot of people on this forum seem to want this feature.
    I have written an Applescript Studio application that duplicates the functioning of the birthdays calendar (syncing dates to iCal in the background), plus adding a lot of extra features, including alarms.
    Dates to iCal automatically syncs your Address Book birthdays, anniversaries and custom dates to iCal, creating alarmed, editable events in a seperate calendar. With Dates to iCal you can:
    - Add Address Book date events automatically to iCal.
    - Choose which event types you want added (birthdays, custom dates or both).
    - Have any type of alarm you like for the event, from a message to emailing a whole Address Book Group.
    - Choose the notice in days and hours the alarms are set for.
    - Manually make changes (i.e. adding notes) to these events.
    - Add birthdays manually for people you don't have a seperate card for in Address Book.
    It is freeware. To get a copy go to www.nhoj.co.uk.
    Best wishes

  • No Email Alarm for All-Day Events

    Hello, Everyone,
    I've got a desktop and a laptop, and I've been syncing the iCal calendars on each for some time. However, this has resulted in one annoying thing - whenever an event comes up in iCal that I'd set an email alarm for, I would receive multiple alarms, one from each machine.
    I thought I'd solve this problem by moving the calendars to my server (a headless Mini running 10.4.6 Server), and thus only get one email alarm. However, since I moved it, I'm getting no alarms.
    I've run some tests, and confirmed that if I set up a test event at a specific time, I will get an email alarm for it. However, if the event is set up to be an all-day event, no alarm.
    I've restarted the server, I've made sure the iCalScheduler is running...these calendars have worked for years, and now I'm perplexed. Any thoughts?
    Cheers,
    Martin

    Well, I couldn't figure this one out, so I just moved the calendars back to my main machine, and published them to the web for sharing with my laptop. On my main machine they worked fine.
    Can't figure out why it wouldn't work on the server. Maybe it'll change with Leopard's iCal server.

  • Default alarm for all-day events

    When I set up iCal, I used a default alarm at 11 pm for ALL-DAY events.  I don't stay up that late anymore, and now I have to manually reset the alarm to a more sane time every time I enter an all-day event.  How do I change the default to earlier?  Note: This is not the same default as for regular timed events ... that one I can change in Preferences.

  • Process chain in BW for specific day starting programm in ERP

    Hi guys,
    I have created a process chain in BW which works fine.
    Now I have to think about to include a step in this process chain which starts for one specific day one program in ERP.
    When this program in ERP is finished with updating data the process chain should continue and then the ERP data should be uploaded in BW.
    For example. Every 10th of a month a program in ERP should be started for the last day of the month before (for example 31.1.11). The program runs about 7 hours. When the program is finished the process chain shoul continue.
    Is that possible to handle with process chains?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    1. Make your existing chain as local chain.
    2. Create a process chain PC1 with a start variant and add above local chain.
    3. Schedule PC1 every day and restrict it not to run on 10th day of every month.
    4. Create a program or function module in ECC to execute your logic.(last day of last month as range).
    5. create a event in ECC.
    6. create a back ground job with step1 as program and step2 as event created in step 5.
    7. Create process chain PC2 in BI with start variant with event created in step 5.
    8. schedule the back ground job created in step 6 in ecc to run on evry 10th day of the month.
    If you do not want 2 pcs you can create only one PC based on variant from ECC. Add lIF condition in your ECC program
    to check if it is 10th of the month or not. If it 10th day execute your logic else complete the program with out executing any logic.
    so that back ground job will trigger step 2 (which is event) which will inturn trigger BI load.
    Thanks,
    Kalyan.

  • Export data for specific period through Data Pump

    Hi,
    I've a specific requirement to take the dumps of some tables for specific time period. like between last 10 days like 01-JAN-11 to 10-JAN-11. How can I acommplish this. For Documentation what I read is that we can export the data for specific period of thie by either setting FLASHBACK_SCN or FLASHBACK_TIME parameter in expdp command but this is point in time export not for the specific time export.
    Please guide me how can export between the specific time. like between 1-JAN to 10-JAN
    Regards,
    Abbasi

    export between the specific time. like between 1-JAN to 10-JANYou need to clarify your requirements. Data is always "at a point in time". I can see data as at noon of 01-Jan. I can see data as at noon of 10-Jan. What would I mean by data "between" 01-Jan and 10-Jan ?
    Say the table has 5 rows on 01-Jan :
    ID    VALUES
    1      ABC
    2      DEF
    3      TRG
    4      MXY
    5     DEW2 Rows "6-GGG" and "7-FRD" were inserted on 02-Jan.
    2 Rows "2" and "3" were updated from "DEF" and "TRG" to "RTU" and "GTR" on 03-Jan.
    1 Row "5-DEW" was deleted on 09-Jan.
    2 Rows "8-TFE" and "9-DZN" were insereted on 09-Jan.
    Can you tell me what is the "data between 01-Jan and 10-Jan" ?
    (the above example actually happens to have an incrementing key column "ID". Your table might not even have such an identifier column at all !)

  • $1500 Bill for 12 days of data

           I ordered my 13 year old a phone for her birthday and she did not know that watching videos will cost money so now our bill is more than $1500. This is an honest mistake on our part and hers. We placed the account on pay-per-byte so this is a sign that we are not going to use internet much or didn’t want it at all. We are disappointed that there was no warning that our bill is growing way out of proportion. Even our credit card company lets us know if there is a purchase over $100. Also we are disappointed that there was no message to warn her – if you have no data plan do not continue. Those things would’ve prevented the mess we are in and your time that we are wasting.  We didn’t get a chance to call and block the internet access since she only had it for 12 days.  I don’t think any parent would knowingly let their child watch a few hours of videos for $1500. I believe that this situation is an exception.
                  We pay $100 a month on average and rarely miss our payment. We had a positive experience with Verizon and always recommend it to others. We hope that this company will live up to our expectations of the one which understands individual situations such as ours. This is the first time something of such a huge proportions happened to us and it will not repeat.
                    We would like to pay $50 for a plan that would’ve covered the usage that racked up $1500.  We believe that there is an executive person who is able to work with exceptions like this and I don’t think personal account bills look like this often.  I know  it didn’t really cost Verizon that much for what data was used.
                    We know that our amount is just pennies to you so we hope you will do the right thing. We forgive those who make a mistake. It doesn’t mean we will do it again so we are hoping that you understand that this is not a repeating problem.  I know the company is able to backdate the plan even if the billing cycle is over. If it was still the billing cycle, I would be able to get the $50 plan. So it’s just a matter of a few days and me calling when I was unaware of the amount but if someone notified me I would’ve been aware and would’ve called.  I know it’s not mandatory but it would be kind and I would stay a loyal customer. I will not say anything negative until this is resolved..

    I want to ask this have you Talked to Financial Services if you have not. I encourage you to give it a shot as they might be able to help you work out a payment for the Overages. We all make mistakes an this is at any Age {NO} one is 100% perfect to get a hold of that Department you can Call C.S. An ask a C.S.R to direct you to F.S. or Try this No. 1-866-266-1445 and the Best of Luck to Ya. B33

  • ICal alarms for Birthdays

    Greetings,
    I have read all the old posts about setting an alarm for birthdays and how this function seems at this point to be lacking. I even downloaded the wonderful little "plug-in" "dates-to-ical" and it works good but creates two different entrys under the date taking more space.
    Has Apple made any moves to change this function yet and why can't this simple request be added?
    //Cheers

    Hi Julie,
    it works good but creates two different entrys under the date taking more space.
    This sounds like you are viewing the built in birthday calendar and the Dates to iCal calendar at the same time. Did you uncheck 'Show Birthdays calendar' in iCal's preferences while running Dates to iCal?
    Dan, I agree this should be a built in feature of iCal.
    Best wishes

  • How can I set an event that occurs on the same day, not date, every month? Like Thanksgiving is on the third Thursday of November

    On my PowerBook, I was able to set up events to show up on a specific day repeating each month, say the first Thursday.  How can I get that on the iPad 2?

    For your repeating even, I'm assuming this is your Yahoo calendar? that isn't a Firefox issue, I suggest you try to contact yahoo.
    For the other issue, try the following:
    Update to Firefox 15. Then, [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

  • Push notifications for specific apps not working even though the badge updates (Facebook, Google  etc.)

    So this has been happening for months now. I was expecting iOS 5 to fix it, but it hasn't. Push notifications for specific apps do not work. Some come through just fine, but Facebook and Google+ in particular don't work correctly. Facebook push notifications seem to work when the notification is generated from an action performed on a mobile device (ie: someone writes on my wall from another iPhone); if they do the same thing on the desktop, the notification doesn't seem to come through.
    As for Google+, I've never seen a single push notification come through as it should, even though I've seen other iPhones with the same app reciving these notifications with no issue.
    This is particularly strange because the badge on the app icon usually updates (though it feels like fetch, not push), but the notifications simply don't make it into the notification center (or on the lock screen as they should). As I said, this has been happening for months, long before iOS 5, and the problem has persisted now that I'm running iOS 5.
    I've checked and rechecked all notifiation settings for these apps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled them. I've called Apple support and they couldn't offer me any help. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
    Thanks for your time.

    I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems.  I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
    I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well.  I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
    I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix.  I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
    So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account.  I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
    Any thoughts?

  • Day, not date, specific holidays not posting correctly from ical to .mac

    holidays that repeat yearly on a monday rather than a date don't appear correctly as recurrences when published to .mac
    anyone find a work around?

    For some reason, if you stored the new contact with a "mobile" number only, it won't sync. If you wtore it as "work" or "other" it will sync. Strange but true..
    You can also add a "dummy" number "work" as a zero (0)
