ICal behaving differently in Lion

Hi,
Since upgrading to Lion I have had a real frustration with iCal. In version 4.0 when you clcked on one event that was behind another (ie taking place at the same time in another calendar) that event came to the front. This is no longer happening in iCal 5.0. I have 8 calendars running in iCal both for home and work so many events are taking place at the same time. I need to see what is going on without unckecking the other calendars that are "sitting on top" of the one I want to see. Is this new behaviour standard or just a problem I have?
Also, if necessary is there any way to go back to iCal 4.0 which worked fine - for me.
Thanks

There is a solution!!!
Well, it doesn't actually solve the selection problem itself, but it makes iCal lay out the events so that the problem never occurs in the first place. For me, this kills two birds with one stone.
1. Stop iCal, then open a Terminal window and enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.iCal IncludeDebugMenu 1
2. Restart iCal, and using the new Debug menu, disable the "Debug->Top Sekret->Use iPad Style Event Layout" option.
3. Flip back or forward a week with the controls to enable the new rendering mode. You'll see that the events are being rendered properly. This setting seems to be "sticky" and you only seem to need to do it once.
Thanks to OS X Daily for pointing out the existence of the debug menu in the first place.

AEBS setup behaves differently on Lion Server than Snow Leopard

I have a small office setup with a Mac Mini Server running Lion server, a Canon Wifi printer scanner and a Canon USB A3 printer connected to an AEBS which is in turn connected to the buildings network gateway for internet access. We have 3 MacBook Pros (snow leopard) which connect wirelessly and the Mac Mini has an ethernet cable to the AEBS. Fairly simple and we just have 1 manual IP address for the server with the AEBS doing DHCP and NAT.
The issue I have is that if I change the AEBS settings using Airport Utility on a Mac Book Pro (the first time I just changed the DNS numbers to Googles free set and nothing else), I lose internet connectivity. I can get a partial connection if I also set the subnet to 255.0.0.0 (most websites load, but maybe 10% fail). Consistent and repeatable behaviour - every time I change the AEBS settings I lose the internet and the same websites fail to load.
I can get everything working again by using the Mac Mini server to change something on the AEBS, or just restart the AEBS. In which case I can use the recommended subnet mask of 255.255.255.192 and everything works as it should.
So my question is Why?? Does the Server change some background ports, or retain some link to the AEBS which stops it functioning if I use a non-server machine to make a change??
One bit of background: When I first got the Mac Mini Server I let it take control of the AEBS setup - It asked, and I let it, but this activated the 802.1x security and required a login to the server before access to the wifi was granted. A nice feature but the Canon wireless scanner/printer does not support this, so I had to stop this and set the aebs manually, so I could use my scanner again. Is it possible that some link has been retained from this?
I do have a full working setup now that I realise I have to use the server to operate the AEBS, but can anyone help with an explanation? It caused me a few months of partial internet access and lots of wasted time, so would like to know if there is a solution that would allow me to set the AEBS from any Mac on our LAN.
Thanks for taking the time to help!

Which services have been removed or depreicated?
You have to bear in mind that 'removed' or 'deprecated' only really means 'no longer bundled and supported by Apple'. Just because Mac OS X Lion Server doesn't ship with a foobar server that doesn't mean you can't download and install your own foobar server. It just won't be integrated into the Server Admin apps.
For example, Lion Server no longer ships MySQL Server. So download and install your own copy. It's not like the GUI apps gave you any control over the MySQL anyway, other than starting it up and controlling the network ports.
Likewise for print server. Some of the advanced print features such as quotas have been removed from the GUI, but you can implement them yourself.
Likewise with QuickTime Streaming Server, where the functionality is little more than a web service.
What features that have been enhanced?
Lion Server has simplified the setup of a server for small workgroups with simple requirements. If that's you then the whole experience may be enhanced since you're not swamped with a slew of options that you don't understand, or need.
I think a lot of people were also stymied by Snow Leopard Server because they expected the GUI apps to cover all the options, which was never the case.
So my original point stands. There is pretty much nothing you cannot do in Lion Server than you could do in Snow Leopard Server, it's just that it might not be supported by the GUI. Most serious server admins eschew Server Admin.app anyway since even Snow Leopard Server's admin app doesn't cover all the capabilities of some of the services, so you end up driving it via the command line anyway.

What has happened to iCal in OS X Lion?

I use iCal for all my events and since upgrading to Lion I have been experiencing majorproblems:
When double-clicking on an event to open it up, sometimes the event appears for a fraction of a second and disappears. A further double click is then required to open the event.
If I use copy and paste to duplicate an event, the pasted event will go to the date where it was copied from not the date where the mouse pointer is located. If I paste an event into a different month, the event goes to the same date as the original (but in the new month), not the date where the mouse pointer is located.
I have had problems with events that have disappeared after they have been created on my iMac. The events can be seen in my MobileMe account, on my MacBook, on my iPhone, on my iPad and even on my PC where I share calendars in Outlook. But they do not show on the iMac where the event was created.
I use several calendars, when events are copied and pasted, the original calendar sometimes changes.
I have noticed that a single click on a date in the month or week view no longer highlights that day.
None ofthese problems existed with OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard. What has happened to iCal in OS X Lion?
Please help.

Is it possible to choose the old version of ical over OS X Lion version ?

Is it possible to opt for the old version of ical over OS X Lion version ?

No, the Mac OS X released apps are part of the operating system and make system calls other versions may not have or may have changed. Plus Lion allows iCloud access and sync of the calendar other Mac OS Xs do not make.

Pdf duplication in Preview for Mac behaving differently

When duplicating a PDF in Preview for Mac, a new image window would open that I could click on to select, then rename and save elsewhere. Just recently, seems like in the last few days, Preview now behaves differently. Now when I select duplicate, a duplicate document is created in the same window but shows as a thumbnail in the sidebar. This is confusing as it appears that Preview is trying to create a duplicate of the document at the end of the original. I don't appear to have received any updates from Apple that would account for this sudden change in behaviour (shows Preview last modified 18th November). I don't appear to be able to change this in Preview's Preferences. Can I revert Preview to the previous behaviour? (I'm using latest version of Preview in Yosemite on a 24" iMac).

I always find that Preview can garble certain graphic elements or even slightly alter the over-all color of the PDF. However, I also find it is a lot quicker to deal with PDFs, especially when it comes to printing. Sometimes I get a PDF that I send to print on our Canon copier and I end up canceling the print job after 10-15 minutes because it's still processing. I open that same PDF in Preview and it prints in less than a minute. The same can be said of InDesign so on certain jobs I end up exporting as a PDF and printing from Preview. This might say a lot about Adobe's Printing Engine... (sorry, off-topic)

Why Reports format behaves different in Excel and browser(if desformat=html or pdf)?

1-Why Reports format behaves different in Excel and browser(if desformat=html or pdf)?
2-I made three queries Q1,Q2 & Q3 and linked them with proper field links but suppose Q3 returns no records for some Q1&Q2 records & when the report runs for delimited options it reflects only those records as output for which all the queries return records(if Q3 returns no record then the related records from queries Q1,Q2 don't reflect) while the output in desformat=html or pdf is ok..
can you please resolve my problems
( I have installed patch 5a in my report server machine)
Thanks & Regds.

What do you mean by "different"? (In our
experience, Oracle html output has too many
columns, which are not visible in the
browser but are obvious in Excel.)
We build our own html programmatically, so
that Excel matches the browser more closely.

Insert Stmt behaving differently within a PL/SQL block than independently

I have an INSERT INTO statement that is behaving different within a PL/SQL block than it does if ran as an independent SQL query. When executed within a PL/SQL block the INSERT statement does insert rows, but only less than 50% of the rows returned by the SELECT statement used by the INSERT. There are no constraints and the only check on the destination table is a NOT NULL for supplier_id column.
BEGIN
INSERT INTO suppliers (supplier_id, supplier_name)
SELECT account_no, name FROM customers WHERE city = 'Newark';
END;Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

Thought this sounded familiar:

PS1 String behaving differently - how to get only "/"?

Hi there, let me first start with the 4 lines of code I use for my PS1 string (in bash)
boBlack="\[\033[1;30m\]"
boGreen="\[\033[1;32m\]"
boCyanOnBlack="\[\033[1;36;40m\]"
export PS1="$boCyanOnBlack"'${PWD%*/}'"$boBlack/$boGreen"
Now what does this do?
It will make a coloured string as part of my current working dir. (Prompt)
Example:
If i go to
cd /home/shevegen
then my prompt will look like:
/home/shevegen/
(I like the trailing / because I can copy/paste easier with it. )
Now, the problem is when i am doing this:
cd /
then I am in /
and while in konsole it works, in VTE this does not work.
Does anyone know why this string behaves differently in
VTE and Konsole? VTE for example does not show any
/ when you are in
the / root dir
PS: Anyone has a hint or knows why in VTE and in gnome-terminal this does
not work?

Hi Dennis,
thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately I already tried that and it didn't work. I have created several unique styles. Problem is, I need two diferent styles in *one paragraph* - one style for the "heading", which is consistent to the APA manual not an own paragraph (sorry, not my idea...), and another style for the following text. As my example above shows, the heading is followed by usual text and I may not press return after the heading and switch to a new paragraph..
It has to look exactly like this:
+heading in italics.+ Now heading is followed by usual text without changing the paragraph or starting a new line. Blurb blurb blurb whatsoever blurb blurb. The text goes on an on and an on you see.
I can't format the heading differently than the text (because if I try, the whole paragraph is formatted this way) and so I can't add just the heading to the TOC. Do you see what my problem is? Got any other suggestion?

NavigateToURL behave differently in adove air

Hi All,
I have used navigateToURL in flash to navigate to a dirrerent URL and this works fine in the browser but when I used it with my adobe air application it behave differently. I have used "_SELF" as the target but in AIR, the new URL still open up as a new window. Is anyone has this same problem? How can i open the new URL in the same window? Please find below my flash code. Im using flash CS3 professional.
var url:String = "http://localhost/Flash/login/welcome.php";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try {
navigateToURL(request, '_SELF'); // second argument is target
} catch (e:Error) {
trace("Error occurred!");
Thanks In advanced,

Hi All,
found the answer. "_SELF" should be "_self" (simple letter).
Thanks,

Multiple idocs in Single Job behaves differently (RBDAPP01)

How to debug the background Job for Program RBDAPP01 which already posted the Idocs in 53 status from 64.
I wanted to analyze why multiple idocs in same job behave differently than the single idoc in a job. In case of multiple idocs in a single job i put packet size 1, but no help.

I found the solution, so closing this Post.

Why does "Link Media" behave differently when used as a keyboard shortcut vs when right clicked???

Not sure whether anyone else is encountering this, but the "Link Media" command behaves differently when right clicked as opposed to when used as a keyboard shortcut.
When you right click to select that option for an offline file, you get only the corresponding disconnected source media. But when you execute "Link Media" via a keyboard shortcut, PP brings up a huge list of all other offline media. Why does it only do that when you use the keyboard shortcut for "Link Media" but not when you right click "Link Media".
I'd like to get the Link Media command to behave via the keyboard shortcut the same way it behaves when right clicked. I don't want to have to deal with relinking a hundred other files, but just the single offline file I'm working on.

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

Upgrading pacman behaves differently on different systems

This isn't a problem, since I haven't noticed any issues. I'm only curious to why two systems behave differently.
System 1 (x86_64 locale sv_SE):
Interrupts upgrade of system to specifically upgrade pacman first.
System 2 (x86 locale ru_RU):
Doesn't interrupt, instead it upgrades pacman along with other packages.
Is there a logic answer to why? I'm only asking, since I don't know whether such differences could create problem for some users.

Look into your /etc/pacman.conf for the SyncFirst variable. It defaults to having pacman there, and it is the list of which packages to upgrade first like on your first system. See man pacman.conf for more details.

Fonts behave different in Photoshop in comparison with Illustrator

I have a problem: it seems that some fonts behave different in Photoshop CS than in Illustrator CS on my Windows XP. Where Illustrator opens a vector (Ill) EPS file correct Photoshop shows me wrong characters sometimes: for example: an é becomes a wrong character: Capital O with a stroke through it. Frutiger was used.
My question is: where does Photoshop behave different reading fonts in comparison with Illustrator?

Perhaps you forgot to embed the font?
Here comes an example, using characters with accents.
The font is GillSans-Schoolbook. The font or subset is embedded.
The file extension TXT should be replaced by EPS after downloading.
The EPS doesn't contain a preview image.
The file is correctly handled by
Photoshop CS2 (opened)
InDesign CS2 (placed)
Illustrator CS2 (opened)
PSAlter (PostScript interpreter by Quite)
All characters with accents are missing in
Word 2007 (insert graphic)

VIM behaves differently after visual selection. (if locale="eo.UTF-8")

This seems to be a bug in my VIM editor, because never had this problem before.
But I want to be sure first, by asking here if someone else can reproduce this problem.
The steps to reproduce are...
Set your system locale to Esperanto language. Mine → “eo.UTF-8”
Edit any text file from the CMD, like “$ vim file.txt”.
Start Visual-line selection mode.
...and then, in less than 1 second the selection should be lost, the selected block should “deselect”.
Once this happens, VIM starts behaving differently. Needing to press ESC more than one time to enter command-mode, becoming unpredictably unresponsive many times while I am editing and entering insert mode, and forgetting the undo history... so I do a “:u” command and the file changes back to its first version, ignoring all the changes history in between.
The only solution in this case, is closing the file and opening again.
But once I try to visual-select for first time, it happens again.
Thanks in advance for your time.

First visual line selection is deselected almost immediately. But visual selections of any kind do work afterwards.
Necessity of multiple ESCs is confirmed.
Thanks a lot for your time, so it seems there is definitely a bug here.
bernarcher wrote:The history seems to remain intact, however. (But I did not try hard.)
Correct VIM’s behavior, by doing this:
Enter insert mode.
Insert random text.
Exit insert mode.
↑ Repeat some times.
Perform some Undo actions.
Should be, one insertion Undo per :u.
But if I do this after triggering this bug, one undo would ignore all changes made since the “buggy mode” was triggered.
