ICal and Spaces

I use iCal all the time and recently have started to use Spaces. Here's my problem - when I set alarms for events and they pop up on my screen, the alarm doesn't always pop up in the space I'm in and I miss the alarm unless I need to go to the space where the alarm is. Today I was late for an appointment because I missed the alarm.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a solution or am I doing something wrong?

Neil,
Try assigning iCal to all spaces, and hide it when not desired in your current work space. I am not at my home computer and I am not able to confirm if the alarm will be displayed in the space which is currently being used.
Let us know what happens.

  • In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes?

    In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes? In the past, I have used Outlook calendar and tasks and I was able to expand the windows which allowed me to put a great amount of details into either the notes section in events and tasks. It would be great to be able to do this in iCal and Notifications as well. I am using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8. Thank you very much for assistance with this.

    HI,
    Try Spaces for a virtual desktop.

  • How to get Exchange ActiveSync, MobileMe, iCal, and AddressBook to coexist

    From reading these forums, I have come to understand that an ActiveSync-enabled iP3G will not sync with iCal and AddressBook running on my iMac. The workaround proposed is to get a MobileMe account so that the iMac's information is made available to 'the cloud', from where it is pushed to the iP3G, thus making my iMac's contacts and calendars available on the iP3G.
    My present desktop setup involves Entourage 2004 communicating with my company's Exchange Server to offer up my email, and, through Entourage's Sync Services preference, place my Exchange calendar into iCal. (I use Sync Services only for calendar events, not contacts.) Thus, iCal on my desktop shows an "Entourage" calendar generated by that program, and additional Personal and Children calendars; my AddressBook has only personal contacts, and not any Exchange contact information.
    So, the iP3G will now get business mail, business contacts, and business calendar using ActiveSync directly from the Exchange server. Using the MobileMe workaround will allow AddressBook to offer my personal contacts to the cloud, from where they will be pushed to the iP3G, and that is great. The MobileMe workaround will also send my iCal calendars to the cloud and then the iP3G, and this is what leads to my question.
    iCal already has a business events calendar called "Entourage", and I assume this calendar will get pushed to the iP3G along with the Personal and Children calendars that are on my iMac. The iP3G is also getting a business events calendar pushed to it through ActiveSync. How does one avoid the resulting duplication of business events on the iP3G. One solution would be to turn off Sync Services for events in Entourage so that it does not create its calendar in iCal, but I would prefer to avoid this as I like seeing all my calendars in one place (in iCal) on my desktop.
    Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    The minimum requirement for iCloud on your Mac is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    You can set Snow Leopard up to access the email on an existing iCloud account which has been set up on a compliant device, and you may be able to sync iCal using an unsupported (and possibly unreliable) hack, but no other facilities will work. You cannot open an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
    This page outlines the limited use you can make of an existing iCloud account with Snow Leopard:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    To make full use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Ical and to-do lists

    I was just wondering why iCal doesn't have another bar on it:  there's a bar on the left for our list of calendars (and a full month calendar at the bottom of that) and then you have the calendar that takes up the right side.  Why can't we have a third bar that runs along the bottom of the calendar when we have it set to look at a week at a time?  That third bar is divided up so that it aligns with the day above it.  In those spaces we could create a to-do list for that day. 
    Just as we are able to assign a colour to a calendar for each facet for our lives (e.g. purple for work calendar, green for meetings, etc.), we would be able to assign a colour to each task so that we know if it is work-related task, phone calls to make, errands to run, steps leading up to the completing of a project, grocery list, etc.  We could check them off when we complete them, but it wouldn't necessarily delete them.  (I hold onto old, work-related to-do lists for a year because my work is cyclical and I like referring back to them for details or a timeline.) 
    And just like iCal, we would be able to set a starting and ending date and time, alarm, notes, invite, URL, etc.
    Or maybe I'm just asking for too much and this would only be useful to me?

    Try requesting Appigo to support Mobile Me syncing?
    This site is easier to browse/search for applications than the App Store in iTunes:
    http://appshopper.com/
    Search for a to-do app that supports MobileMe syncing. OmniFocus does MobileMe syncing (though the HOW of it looks a little strange to me), and I assume it will hook into iCal.
    Other than that, you aren't really looking for an app. You are looking for a service that keeps to-dos online, AKA in the cloud. Probably any such reputable service will hook into an iPhone app somehow, and may also have a desktop app. Or possibly you'll need a second utility that pulls into from iCal and sends it to the service.
    I think I may have read that Appigo will cooperate with Toodledo.com. This post also mentions Remember the Milk, may be helpful:
    http://www.tuaw.com/2009/01/30/appigo-sync-brings-ical-todo-syncing-with-iphone- app/
    Also ask Apple to sync iCal to-dos to the iPhone via MobileMe. People have been asking for years, but another complaint can't hurt:

  • How do I sync my event colors from treo 650 to iCal and vice versa?

    heres the deal:
    in using iCal and my Treo 650 (Verizon), I have been iSyncing the two together. While all the data and calendar events, contacts from Address book, tasks from task list transfer no problem, none of the event colors sync up. If an event from iCal is marked red, it moves to the Treo in "unfiled" gray. If the event is on the Treo and moves to the iCal, it is automatically shuffled under the default color code in the Options category.
    If the event is on both the Treo and iCal as red, and I edit the iCal version and then sync the two, it changes the Treo version back to "gray", even though both tools have the same color options and the same categorizations. although this sounds like a small glitch, I run a tour guiding business with multiple tour guides and the color coding is crucial to my PDA, so its driving me absolutely crazy. I bought my Treo with the promise that everything would sync up with the iCal, and it wont.
    What do I do?

    The behavior you describe is a characteristic limitation of the iSync Palm Conduit.
    The Missing Sync for Palm OS from Mark/Space supports categories and groups, and therefore—on advanced Palm OS devices like your Treo 650 smartphone—calendar colors. You can learn more about this application here:
    http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php
    The Mark/Space Knowledge Base says this about categorization:
    Calendars and Categories
    • iCal events are assigned to a Palm category with the same name as the calendar they are part of. If the category does not exist on the Palm device, the Events conduit creates a category with the calendar name and assigns the event to that category. If that category cannot be added—due to space limitation—the event is added to Unfiled.
    • Palm events/tasks that are in a specific category are sent to that calendar in iCal only if a calendar with the same name as the category exists. If the calendar does not exist, the record will be sent to the calendar that is chosen in the conduit configuration sheet. If the calendar is read only, the event/task will be ignored.
    • On the first synchronization of read-only calendars, the items are properly assigned to the correct category on the device. If any edit is made to an item in a read-only calendar the change is ignored but will persist on the device until something forces it to be overwritten by data from the desktop, for example: if the read-only item was updated. If an item is assigned to a read-only calendar it will be switched to the calendar you have selected in your preferences.
    • Calendars listed in the conduit settings are pulled from Sync Services, meaning that if iCal has not finished synchronizing with Sync Services the full list of calendars may not be read.

  • ICal and Tungsten E category syncing

    I'm syncing my iCal calendars with my Tungsten E via iSync, but I lose my iCal categories. Is there a way to maintain the categories between the two locations?

    Not using iSync, as the iSync Palm Conduit does not map categories between iCal and the Palm calendaring application. To do that, you'll need to be using Mac OS X 10.4 or later, and purchase and install the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
    This article explains how information is transfered between iCal and your Palm device using the Mark/Space Events and Tasks conduits, which—along with the Mark/Space Contacts conduit—replace the iSync Palm Conduit:

  • Ical and palm desktop - help

    I'm using palm desktop to syn with my palm treo.
    I would like to syn my palm desktop calendar with ical.
    Anybody knows how to do it?
    Thanks!

    You cannot simultaneously synchronize 'conflicting' data types with your Palm device. So, for example, your can…
    • synchronize contacts between your handheld the Palm Desktop, or
    • synchronize contacts between the Address Book and your handheld using iSync, or
    • synchronize contacts between the Address Book and your handheld using the Missing Sync for Palm OS and Mark/Space contacts
    …but, you cannot choose to perform 2 or more of these options. You must pick an environment—the Palm Desktop or the Address Book and iCal—and a program by which to do this—the Palm Desktop, iSync or the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
    The same is true for calendaring and task data. You must choose an environment and an appropriate program to execute and supervise your synchronization events.
    It is possible to cross environments by directing contacts to one, and calendaring and tasks to another, but this is a special application best avoided unless you have a very specific reason for choosing this option.
    So define precisely what it is you want to accomplish, and I will outline the configuration instructions you need to follow. It's also important to know which Treo model you intend to synchronize, as those prior to the Treo 650 present some challenges, and the Palm OS-based Treo 650 and later another set when iSync is the program chosen.
    Any 'advanced' Palm device which uses Palm OS 5.4 or later is better supported by the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and any Palm device which uses the Windows Mobile OS requires the use of third-party software like the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile.

  • NULL and Space value in ABAP

    Hi All,
           I like to know, is it NULL and Space value is same in ABAP, if it is not how to check null value.
    Thank you.
    Senthil

    everything is correct though some answers are not correct.
    A Database NULL value represents a field that has never been stored to database - this saving space, potentially.
    Usually all SAP tables are stored with all fields, empty fields are stored with their initial value.
    But: If a new table append is created and the newly-added fields do not have the 'initial value' marked in table definition, Oracle will just set NULL values for them.
    as mentioned: There is no NULL value to be stored in an ABAP field. The IS NULL comparison is valid only for WHERE clause in SELECT statement. WHERE field = space is different from WHERE field IS NULL. That's why you should check for both specially for appended table fields.
    If a record is selected (fulfilling another WHERE condition) into an internal table or work area, NULL values are convertted to their initial values anyway.
    Hope that sheds some light on the subject!
    regards,
    Clemens

  • NULL and SPACE

    Hello Gurus:
    I have had to use BOTH 'null' and 'space' (ofcourse I tried 'initial' too...) when selecting data from PRPS table, otherwise all the required records were not fetched. I had to do this on two different occassions. The first is a SAP provided field and the other is customer's enhancement. I have cut-paste the two code blocks. Any ideas why?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sard.
    ***********(1)**************
    select posid objnr func_area zzfunct from prps into
                    corresponding fields of table it_wbs
                              where func_area is null or
                                    func_area eq space.
    ************(2)**************
    select prps-pspnr prps-posid prps-post1
       into (wa_test1-pspnr, wa_test1-posid, wa_test1-post1,
       from prps
      where prps-posid in s_wbs and
            ...                 and
           ( prps-zzmlind is null or prps-zzmlind eq space ).
    append wa_test1 to it_test1.
    clear wa_test1.
    endselect.

    Hello Richard,
    the Requirement to check for NULL corresponds to the definition of the database (field) within the DDIC. Check the flag initialize (it has also some documentation).
    This flag is intended to be used if the definition of the db table is changed at SAP while the table already is used at customer side.
    After deploying the corresponding patch or upgrade such a changed definition may result into the need to convert all entries. For tables with many entries this would result into inacceptable downtime. So such changes are done without the initialiazation/conversion of existing entries.
    The tradeoff is the syntax you noticed.
    Kind regards
    Klaus

  • 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.

  • Need help trying to have more than one delegate calendar display in iCal and on mobile devices

    I have several calendars that are under my user name in Google. They all work as delegates and life is good.
    I'm trying to set up the local school with a calendar for the sports schedule as well as a separate one for district events like school board meetings and would like to be able to add one for the holidays, exams and things of that nature. The sports calendar works but I can't figure out how to add the second caledar to iCal or my iPhone. It shows shared but doesn't appear as a possible delegate in iCal and will not load on the iPhone.
    Google has the output to allow more than one calendar to display on a website but syncing at the level I want with the "i" apps isn't obvious.
    Am I missing something? I really don't want one very cluttered master calendar for the school. Being able to turn on and off the various types of calendar will make it much easier to manage.

  • Outlook 2011 no longer syncing with iCal and contacts

    I have installed Yosemite recently on my Macbook Pro. I run MS Outlook 2011 for professional reasons. Until now, syncing with my Android phone worked (almost) fine, using a nice app called SyncMate. For a few days now (not sure it is linked to installing Yosemite though) new data on my outlook calendar and address book no longer appear on my phone after syncing. After checking I realized that Outlook is actually not syncing any more with iCal and Contacts, so of course the syncing with the phone cannot work. How can I resolve this ?

    facing the same problem, it was syncing prior to my upgrade to Lion. have you managed to find a solution?
