ICal and sleep question

if you have an iCal event that launches a script which will restart the computer at scheduled times, does that work if the computer is in sleep mode? or do you first need to wake up the computer with the option in the "energy save pref"?

Question withdrawn.

Simple question; Mac Server Setup for Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.

Hi Guys;
I'm new to the Mac Server world and need a few questions answered.
I have purchased a new Mac mini Server for hosting File, Web, Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.
I’m comfortable setting up File and Web Services however I’m a bit uneasy setting up Mail, iCal and Address Book services to be access locally and remotely(via the internet).
My current setup is;
Internet connection (Dynamic IP) -> Router -> Mac mini Server.
I have purchased a domain name (Thornton-net.com) from DynDns.com + a custom DNS service as I can setup my router to update my domain’s IP address automatically.
I can access File and Web Services remotely (thortnon-net.com) perfectly without any issues via the Port Forwarding feature of the Router.
If I setup Mail, iCal and Address Book Services -> will Mail, iCal and Address Book clients be able to access these services hosted by the server via Thornton-net.com?

Welcome to the forums.
For mail services (and specifically for your outbound mail to be accepted by other mail servers) your mail server needs to have a static IP address and matching forward and reverse and MX records, or a tunnel to a static IP (with matching DNS), or you need another mail server where you have an authorized relay. Without that, your mail will be considered a spam engine, and dropped.
Additionally, your particular tier of service with your ISP (with a static IP) will generally allow server-oriented access and server-oriented network traffic, where a residential or other tier of service (with a dynamic IP addresses) can be firewalled.
The ISP controls the "high ground" of the network connections here, so you pretty much get to play by their rules and requirements. If they don't offer static IP, then (presuming their T&Cs permit it) you get to tunnel (via IPv6, for instance) to a tunnel broker, and receive your network traffic via that (and with matching DNS) point of presence. That could well be a tunnel for your mail at whichever your DNS provider is here, because you'll have issues with your dynamic address. (You get to sort out if they offer that.)
Far and away the easiest approach (if you want to host this stuff yourself) is to work with the ISP. They're inherently involved in your network, and they and they alone have full control over your reverse DNS configuration.

Linking multiple emails to a single event in ical and/or to do's

Hi:
Often I receive emails and I want to link them to an event in ical. OS X does this just fine as long as there is date in the email that OS X can recognize. The problem is sometimes I get multiple emails relating to the same event and I would like to be able to link all of those emails to one single event in ical. My same questions applies to 'to do' items.
And a follow up question--say I receive an email that has no date explicit in the text-I've tried to find some function that would allow me to schedule a new event in ical and would link that email to it. (I hope that all makes sense) I'm open to whatever solution I'll even pay money for 3rd party software if anyone knows of a good program. But I"m looking to stick to the basic ical interface. Any suggestions?

Hi rtwigg,
seems this is one of visio graphics limitation regarding the external data.
visio graphics, may only support for one row.
you may consider this idea :
"It is a good idea to separate your rows into visual units so that you have everything you need and nothing else in a single row. To link a shape to a data row, simply drag the row from the external data window and drop it on the shape. A default data
graphic should immediately appear next to the shape displaying some data from the row. From here you are able to customize the graphic to fit your needs"
by means, you may need to use the visio client.

Smartband and sleep as an droid

Hi I just got an Z2 with an swr10 included, and I have used sleep as an droid for a long time,I found that you are recommending "sleep as an droid" and even have it listed in "Sony select" that is why I was surprised that it do not support the swr10 smartband, so I posted a question on their forum ( https://groups.google.com/forum/embed/?parenturl=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fsite%2Fsleepasandroid%2Fforum&service=jotspot&ul=1&place=forum%2Fsleep-as-an-droid&showpopout=true&showsearch=true#!topic/sleep-as-an-droid/NoBF7UV4m90 ) and to my suprize they do not have any api information on swr10 so it's not posible for them to support swr10 at the moment. Could you please provide them with the needed information to get Smartband and sleep as an droid working together both with sensors and vibration alarm //Micke.

I'd like to see integrtaion with myfitnesspal.com and similar sites. They already support over 50 apps and fitness trackers, I'd like to see the SWR10 get added to that list. I've heard (but not confitmed) that they (myfitnesspal) do the intergration, they just need the web API to get to the step and related data.

ICal and multiple iMac users w/ iPhones

We have three user accounts on one iMac. Each user has an iPhone. One iCal account has new appointments made on the iMac, but these entries *do not sync to the iPhone.*
I have been through the documentation and cannot figure out why it does not synch.
Any advice?! Thanks

The good and bad news is that I have the answer to my one question.
If you stumble upon this item the answer is that the INFO tab on iTunes when you are syncing has the options for syncing iCal and Address book. Check the right boxes and all should be well.

Bugs with Lion! Cannot delete events in iCal and other stuff...

First, sorry for my English, I speak French...
I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro, my iMac and on my girlfriend's MacBook Pro and I have the same problems on each computer! Help please!
I try to delete an event on iCal and it always comes back!! I cannot delete it and I cannot delete an entire calendar too! It disappears and 10 seconds later, it's back!
I also removed an icon from the Dock but when I restart the computer, it is back in the dock!
I have also some issues with the file sharing between my Macs. Usually, I entered the username and password of the Mac and it was possible to access everything from another Mac. But now it doesn't work! I think that I must create a new user account for file sharing...
What should I do??
Thanks!!!

I have the same issues with items "re-appearing" in the dock after reboot or waking from sleep. I went into recovery mode, wiped my hard drive, and cleanly reinstalled lion to no avail. I had other issues that cleared up, but my dock is full of apps I never use...so I can only conclude its a bug.

How to "In Effect" Turn Off Time Zone on iCal AND main computer

I am hopeful that this will help those of us who don't want to have any form of Time Zone on our computers or iCal. I read some of the other posts and see that it does not appear an option to completely turn off all Time Zones on the computer and iCal.
What I am thinking about doing, is trying to "Trick" my computer & ical into thinking it doesn't ever go anywhere and thus leaves all of my appointments where they are - no matter what time zone I am actually in.
I hope those of you more knowledgable can please help me see if this will work, or not?
I am hoping that by leaving Time Zone Support turned "Off" in iCal and leaving my computer at a 'manual' Mountain Time Zone (meaning I don't have it set to have it automatically set to the right time - I will set it manually), my appointments will stay put (not move around 8 hours when I go to Italy &/or back to the US)?
I can set the time "manually" to the correct time when I am in either US or Italy so my computer will reflect the current time, but still be set in Mountain Time Zone? Will the alarms still work on calendar events?
The only drawback I can see so far, is that all of the times on emails are messed up (i.e., off by 8 hours) when I am actually in Italy because I still do have the main computer time zone set as Mountain Time - US.
I am willing to live with this (I think?) if it leaves my appointment times alone.
Someone on a similar thread had wanted iCal to function like a paper planner - that is exactly what I am looking for as well! (it looked like that thread was a bit older, so that's why I posted this new question. It is my first on this type of forum, so forgive me if I am doing something wrong - and please advise! :~)
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I am being driven crazy by, what I suppose to be, the same issue. I have used the Time Zone Support feature to somewhat limited success.
I frequently travel between different time zones am confused on how to set up iCal to show the times of my events *in the place where they occur*. When I am in LA and I have a concert in Chicago later in the week, I don't need to know what time the Chicago concert is in LA.
Syncing my Treo 650 adds another problem. Publishing the calendars adds another as the published times are not listed in the time zone where the events occur but rather what time zone my laptop is in.
This seems simple to me, but I may be missing something. Here are my wishes:
1. As I travel with my MacBook Pro that I can change my Date and Time preference to actually list the time zone where I am. Easily done...but...
2. That the event times in iCal are unaffected by the changing of the Date and Time preference adjustment...(after all the concert in Chicago is still at 3pm on Friday, even if I am in Tokyo on Monday. I need to know the time of the Chicago concert in Chicago time, not Tokyo.)
3. That calendars that I publish list the time in the place where the event occurs. I have students that need to know their lesson times but are consantly confused because the published times reflect whatever time zone I happen to be in...not where the lessons take place.
4. That when I sync my Treo the event times automatically adjust to whichever time zome the treo picks up off the network time server. When I land in a new time zone, I need to know the the rehearsal starts at 10, in the city where I have just arrived.
I have recently switched to the Apple PIM apps from Entourage...where, if I never changed the time zone, everything was fine.
Sorry for the longish cry for help.
Thanks

ICal and CalDAV: Added items in sunbird do not appear in iCal

Hello,
I hope the question fits the forum and has not yet been answered. Sorry if it is the case. Anyway, here is my problem. I have this CalDAV account that I want to use both on my mac using iCal and at the office using sunbird (computer on linux).
This works perfectly well when I create or delete events in ical, i.e. the changes are reflected in sunbird. However, for some reason I don't understand, when I create, modify or delete an event in sunbird, this is not updated when I launch iCal. It seems that iCal does not update itself.
Has anyone ever experienced this ? Any help on this would be great. Thanks a lot.

Hi
I indeed checked and I've set it to update every 1 minutes. I even update it by hand and the new events added in sunbird do not show up. So I don't know, may be the events added under sunbird are not exactly in the same format as the ones added by iCal and that would be why iCal don't add them...
If anyone has any idea of why it's not appearing I am interested. Thanks for the help

ICal and iCloud

Okay, this whole iCloud thing is a bit above my head right now. I seem to be making it work, but am a bit confused, and want to make sure I am doing things correctly. Where there is an actual question, I will place in the quote box... but, there may be implied questions elsewhere, or if you find I have made a bad assumption, please make me aware!
First of all, I have an iPhone 4 (IOS 5) and a MacBook. My husband has an iPhone 4 (IOS 4-he resists change and has not updated his IOS). I neglected to tell you what system my MacBook is on because I want to show you the order in which I did everything.
So, for sake of argument, let's say up through October, I entered events into my iPhone 4 (IOS 4) and/or on my MacBook (Snow Leopard), and then synced through iTunes (hard wire connection to MacBook), sharing calendars between my husband's iPhone and I by syncing back and forth.
Then, I alone (my husband has not updated his iPhone) updated to IOS 5 on my iPhone. It seemed to automatically export my calendars (All on my Mac) as they were to iCloud calendars. So, I abandoned adding events to the "All on My Mac" calendars and only entered into my iCloud calendars. However, it wasn't until recently I noticed I had to create a CALDAV link to iCloud to see those new/edited events on my Mac under Snow Leopard. My husband, in the meantime has been using his calendars that aren't iCloud affiliated since he is still on IOS 4
I am wondering what will happen with those "On my Mac" calendars he has on his iPhone if I already had those calendars on my iPhone when I switched to iCloud?- we use the same apple ID.
It has been a while since I synced his iPhone.
So, then, I had a duplicate sets of calendars in my iCal (iCloud and the Mac-driven calendars).
But, then a week ago, I downloaded Lion onto my MacBook. It seems to still be connected via that CALDAV link I did. Not sure if that is still the most efficient way-this was a workaround for Snow Leopard,
but how is Lion supposed to be set up for iCloud calendars?
(I also am unsure all the time why my computer is asking to use a password using my email account in my keychain- wording is wrong, but I am sure others have gotten this same request. I have denied, I have accepted, but never said always allow because I am not sure what it is trying to do.)
So, my question,
can I delete my old "On my Mac" calendars since I have abandoned them? What will happen when I connect my husband's iPhone if those calendars are missing? Could I just sync the new iCloud calendars as described above instead onto his iPhone? And, will it from then on out allow him to use iCloud, or does he need to be on IOS 5?
BTW, I don't know if it matters, but I have never had a .me account. I read somewhere you can get a .me email account by having Lion. I think I read that I need to set that up in iCloud on my MacBook, but have not done that. My current apple id is an independant email account that I've had for years. Not sure what will happen if I ever have to get rid of that email address.
I am sure I can change my contact email address in my apple profile, but would that change my apple id to the new email address I give (whether it be a .me email or a different, let's say, gmail account)?
My iPhone seems to be syncing okay. But, would like to clean up my iCal and I want to make sure I do things properly when it comes to syncing with my husband's iPhone if he stays at IOS4 (and how I sync him up- can it be automatic or do I have to continue the hard wire approach?) and what I should do differently in setting up his iPhone if he switches to IOS5 (and what steps I should do as I update him to IOS5 so calendars aren't lost or duplicated- as he has added entries to his calendar for example -"Husband's calendar"- and I have an iCloud calendar named that, but he has added more to the "on my mac" version on his iPhone and I have added some to the iCloud version.)

u mean mobileme yes? first thing to do is to go to mobileme ON THE WEB and see if the events are there. then check to make sure you are using the right calendar in iCal and mobileme is set to sync ur calendar in the first place.
In iCal:
In system preferences:
then if that all looks good and still no dice, there is a procedure in the mobileme forum for resyncing all your mobileme stuff.

Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)?
--- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal. Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once? If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
To avoid this issue in the future:
Keep regular backups. They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
Hope that information helps.

Syncing multiple iPhones with iCal and contacts

My roommate just bought an iPhone and synced it for the first time with my iMac, but now he has all of my contacts and calendar appointments and none of his own. Do iCal and Contacts support multiple profiles? Is it possible for him to store his contacts on my iMac with iLife and sync without interfering with my contacts?
Sorry if this is a noobish question or if it's already been answered. I looked and couldn't readily find any topics that matched this question.
Message was edited by: k2tha-izzo

Your roommate will need to have all of his contacts in a specific group, as well as all of his calendar appointments in a specific calendar.
In iTunes, go to the info tab on the iPhone in iTunes and have it only sync that calendar/group.

Synch iCal and Address Book on my 20G iPod

I used to be able to load the contents of my calendar (iCal) and Address Book onto my iPod before a trip. Today I found that it no longer works.
iTunes still synchs my music files but not the rest. It "doesn't see" the contents of Address Book for instance (Message: No contacts available) and asks me if I want to open it and add a few names. Same with Calendar.
If I open either Address Book or iCal, the files open fine with all their content.
Any suggestions? I am preparing for a new trip...

App Store, iCal and Contacts have disappeared from applications

Yesterday, I tried to purchase By Word from the app store on my mac mini, only to find that clicking on the icon in the dock turned it into an icon with a question mark on it. I rebooted, and updated, thinking that might be the cause, but no joy - I also noticed the same happened to iCal and Contacts (Mail and everything else in my dock works fine still).
I checked in applications and the missing apps are nowhere to be found. I also ran the combo update for 10.7.3 as I read elsewhere that this could reinstall the app-store if people have accidentally deleted it, no joy.
I haven't deleted any of these apps, and although I don't use iCal or Contacts on the mini, I'd like to understand how they've disappeared.
I've not used my mini for a while, and not purchased anything from the app store for a long time, so it's hard to tell what may be a contributing factor to the disappearance (I cleared a bunch of stuff from my trash before I realised they were gone too unfortunately, so I can't even tell if they were in there or not).
in the last couple of sessions, I've installed dropbox, anti-social.cc, handbrake, updated magic prefs, run a system update (now running 10.7.3) and installed the latest version of node.js
I've never deleted any application from this machine (not had it too long), but to see if I could have done it accidentally, I removed magic prefs and I'd have had to go into applications specifically to remove them - which I definitely haven't done.
I'm the only login for this machine, it's a personal one, so no worries there. I've even checked for flashback virus and no trace.
I'm absolutely out of ideas, and I can live without iCal and Contacts, but I'd like the app store back if at all possible. I've seen some non-apple sites where people have extracted the app store from a package for individual install, and if necessary, I suppose I'll have to go down that route, but I'd rather keep things official if posisble, and get some understanding into what's happening.
If there are any logs, or other information which can help with this post, please let me know and I'll dig them out - if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'd be really greatful.
Thanks

OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

Need to change default email for iCal and Discussions

I have a dual problem tonight. my first problem is trying to reset my default email address in iCal to my new email address since we changed ISP. I have read that I need to change the default in MAIL, but everything there is with my new email address (@Telus). My old email was (@Shaw). When I set up a meeting on iCal and send it out to others, the reply email is @shaw and I can't seem to find how to change it to @telus. No one can reply with confirmation since it is going to a dead letter box.
However, in trying to find something here on the discussions I noticed that my apple account to log into discussions still has my @shaw address, but for the life of me I can not find the account settings that will let me change my email on my user name/profile. I won't get a notice of a solution of either of these questions through the automatic reply as it will go to dead email land. I don't want to have to close this user name and my history and start all over again. Yet the edit profile only lets me reset my biography information, not my email account.
Since I won't get a reply automatically, please CC your post here to mrbarth @ telus.net as well. Thanks,

On Mac OS X, 10.7.2: After several days of trying all the suggestions, I went to the Apple store. It took 2 Geniuses two hours to figure out that invitiations were being sent from the email that I have set as primary with Apple. It didn't matter that the account wasn't even listed on My Card in Address book nor was it even anywhere in mail preferences. What mattered was that I had that email as primary. So, I went to
https://appleid.apple.com/
and changed the Primary Email address. Now all my invites come from that address.
Supposedly iTunes and everything else will come along...
