Edit ical at home and work

I have question that i can't resovle.
can i edit and publish ical at home, then edit and update at work with a pc?

That's why I said "You need .Mac [AND A MAC] if you want to edit."
Maybe I should have said "only Macs"

Home and Work Calendars missing from iCal

Help - i logged into iCal this morning and all my calendars had disappeared - apart from my Outlook calendar which i synced form my work pc using Mobile Me yesterday.
When i first set up Mobile me, i had all my calendars. Will i be able to get my Home and Work calendars back?

Thanks for the advice Ferd - on further investigation i suspect it was another programme - The Hit List - which i had set to sync with iCal that may have caused the issue. But the crisis has had a silver lining - i realised i was overcomplicating things anyway, and have now set up new calendars syncing only to my Sony W595 mobile phone
Thanks again for your help.

Sync Calendars like "Calendar", "Home", and "Work" with Google Calendar

When I go into the iCal program on my mac, I have three calendars that I assume iCloud/iCal creates automatically for you. The ones that are showing up for me include: "Calendar", "Home", and "Work". All of these three calendars are under the iCloud subheading. Under the Gmail subheading, I have my google calendar. I would like to be able to sync these three iCloud calendars with my google calendar, as when I create a new event in iCal, it does not show up in Google Calendar. How can I make this happen? Also, when I create an event from Google Calendar, it shows up on iCal and all of my iOS devices, however, it does not show up in iCloud.com's calendar. Why is this, and how can I fix it?

You can't. That's not how it works.
In the iCal app, indiviudal calendars exist either locally on you Mac or in the "cloud" on a server like iCloud, Google, Yahoo!, Exchange etc.
Logging on to your iCloud account at icloud.com will only gain you access to your iCloud calendars much as logging on your Google Calendars account will only gain you access to your Google calendars.

Displaying events as both Home and Work categories?

Is there a way to have a calendar event display as both a "Home" and "work" category?
Thanks.

Mark,
The only way that I know of is to click on the event and use iCal>Edit>Duplicate, and then change the owning calendar in the "Edit" bubble.
;~)

My Ipad did work on my wireless at home and works on other wireless but no longer at home. My IPhone works at home and others can use the wireless Confused that it did work and now does not?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.

Internet connection being faulty at home and work, along with certain programs refusing to work, i.e. creative cloud, word, preview

My internet connection seems to cut out and nothing loads to even a no internet connection page. This happens at home and work so its not the providers problem and every other device connected to the wifi is working. I realise some programs run with internet but programs such as preview and others close immediately after opening with on explanation
I've also tried resetting permissions and clearing DNS, seemed to be successful for a shortwhile but the problem persists

Hi stephenxmartin,
To troubleshoot this issue where your Mac is unexpectedly dropping its Wi-Fi connection, please follow the section in the article below "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet."

Connecting Home and Work PC

Hi,
Ive had an iPod Mini for a while now, and im always hoping that with each new update, i will be able to sync both my home AND work PC.
My home pc is where I import CDs etc, but occasionally id like to manage my music from work as broadcast to my stereo, maybe even add a CD from work too.
Is there a way?!!?!?
Thanks in advance.
Paul.

Paul,
There are several ways you can achieve this. There are third party programs out there designed with just that in mind, to sync an ipod with 2 computers or two ipods with one. The one i have tested and know works is called ephPod. Google it and you'll easily find this.
A second way you can achieve the results is to set the iPod to not automatically update. Choose the computer you want to fully manage from and associate the ipod with that computer. Next, any songs you have on the other computer can be dragged and dropped onto the iPod through iTunes. Just hook up the iPod to the second computer, but don't let it update. You will see the iPod through iTunes and this will work.
Hopefully this helps.

Getting Siri to understand home and work outside the USA

I've just written this up in my blog
You've told Siri which contact is you. You ask Siri "Remind me to talk to Michael when I arrive at work" but it just replies telling you that it doesn't know where your office is - but you've got an entry in the address book for "work"!
It's probably iCloud and Mac OS X working against you.
Address Book on OS X supports multiple address formats - some of which looks very much like the location you're in and you may not have changed them.
To persuade Siri to understand you need to change the address format - locate the contact in Address Book and click edit. Click the label on the offending address and a context menu will appear - at the bottom there's a sub-menu which allows you to change the address format. Choose the appropriate one and click Done.
Now, once iCloud has synced which doesn't take long, Siri will beable to set reminders for home and work without problems.

I too had the same problems as everyone else on here but I've sussed it out how to do it. Go on google maps on your phone and find your home or work etc on the map. Now on your home press your finger on the screen and it drops a pin with a blue arrow.
Click on the blue arrow
click on add to contacts
click on add to existing contact
find your own contact details and click on it
your details open up with the address you dropped the pin on now in your address field.
click on edit at the top right hand side of the screen
now scroll down to the address and click on the address description at the side of the listed address and select either home, work other or add custom label.
The custom label is good for anything else you need to name. I have all our branches now listed under say, wolverhampton brach, telford branch etc. This way I can get siri to remind me where ever I want to go such as " remind me to get my tools back when i get to the "wolverhampton branch". Works 100% every time this way.
Hope this helps you guys out.

Select between home and work addresses for Autofill

I've searched and browsed for this and I think I know the answer but I want to check before I submit a feature request to Apple and give up for now:
Can we choose between home and work addresses on our contact card when we have Safari perform autofills?
I think the answer is no, that only the first address listed in our contact card is used.
It would be most useful to be able to select the address used. Many of us have our contacts synced now between home and work computers and some of us are allowed to do occassional home business on work computers, or use our home computers for work.
I experimented with an alternative. I set up two contacts for myself, a home contact and a work contact. They both use my name. I find that in the Contacts app I can select which card is "my card", and that will be used by autofill. But I have to open Contacts to switch "my card" to use that for autofill. It would be more useful if Safari would simply provide a way to switch between home and work contact info on the fly, or at least switch between cards.
Am I missing anything?

Thanks, fruhulda. I do have both my work and home address on my card in
Address Book, and I agree that I should be able to choose which to use to fill in fields on a fax form. My question is how do I do that. I want to send a fax; I want it to feature my home information, but it's the work information that's automatically filling in. How do I change that?

I've set my home and work location in contacts but siri still doesn't pick up either?

Call mum and dad are in the contact of yourself.
You have to manually add it back or if you have contacts in your computer addressbook, you can sync them back.

How do i have CC on home and work computer with same account?

How do i have CC on home and work computer with same account?

Hi Markofm,
You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
If you install on a third computer, it will request you to De-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
If you regularly need to use the Creative Cloud on more than two computers then it would be best to purchase an additional subscription. This is the same licensing between which we have for our perpetual product. An advantage though for Creative Cloud over the perpetual product is that you can install on Mac and Windows with the same subscription!
Thanks & Regards,

Can i sync using 2 itunes ... home and work

can i sync using 2 itunes ... home and work .. i want my tunes from home and my calender and contacts from work. i used to use itunes at home and i sync at work ... but cant get the isync to work with the iphone and the imac24 i use ??

I had this same problem. You have to set up the check boxes on each computer of what you want to sync. On your home computer, have it sync a play list that you dedicate to the iPhone. Then at work have it sync everything else. Assuming you activated on your home computer this will work perfectly. If you activated on the computer that you don't sync music from, then it will ask you to erase the original sync and start on this other computer (your home one). Just let it do it and it will be fine. Hope this helps.

Send Email to both (home) and (work)

I would like to send to my contact list in Address book both their (home) and (work) address in one import, and it is only allowing me to highlight one or the other.
Is it possible.
The Best,
Seth

Seth:
This is not something I have done, and I am just thinking out loud. It seems to me that you will need to have double entries in address book for each member in the group, one entry with the home address, and the second with the business address. Then create two separate groups with the respective entries from Address Book, home and business. Then when you type in the name of the group, the addresses in each group, home and business, should fill in.
There may be a better way to do this, and if I find a better answer, I will get back to you.

Account "preferences" changing between home and work...

I'm not exactly sure what the issue is, but here goes...
On my MacBook I have only one user account (same as the administrator). At home, I connect to the Internet via Airport.
When I bring my notebook to work, I connect to the Internet via an ethernet connection. I do not have to login or any other maneuever to gain access to the Internet.
Everything works fine generally. One odd behavior I've noticed -- certain of my login items seem to disappear when I'm at work. Specifically, I have several Yahoo Widgets (Konfabulator) on my desktop. Only some launch when I'm at work. Also, it seems that certain changes to my desktop (wallpaper, location of icons, etc) change between home and work.
Any idea what might be causing this behavior? Thanks!

Hi Flojo:
You will need a seperate "screen name" for each Mac in order to video chat. The nice thing is you can get another .Mac screen name by signing up for another .Mac account and and after the free trial, you can keep the .Mac screen name.
OR
Just sign up for a free AIM screen name here: http://www.aim.com/
You don't need a paid .Mac account in order to video chat!
