ICal Events always start with Time now?

Greetings, Mates!
It seems like after the latest update, that my new notices on my iCal always include the time stamp
first in the heading.
Since I've retired, I often set things for the day before, so I can get an email warning me of things I have to do.
The time is not so crucial that it needs to be included in the heading.
For instance my old heads looked like this:
Pay Mortgage $800
Now, it is set to say:
9:00AM Pay Mort
gage and $800 are cut off.
I cannot get the time out of it so the head makes sense.
Is there something I'm missing???

Hi Bee,
Check in iCal's Preferences > General. There is a checkbox for "Show event times in month view". If that is checked then un-check it.
Let us know how it goes.
Best wishes
John M

Satellite L500-1ek - setup system always starts with 800x600

I have new Satellite L500-1ek notebook with Windows 7.
Whatever screen resolution I setup system always starts with 800x600. And not only after restart but even when I logout my profile and login again.
More: I use also external monitor. I can have mirror of my laptop screen on the monitor or only display on monitor but whatever I do I cannot have extended screen.
When I try to set it up I'm simply ignored by driver.
So I tried to install newest driver. I downloaded it from Toshiba site but it never installed saying me that my system did not meet minimum requirements.
What to do now?
Marek

Hi Marek,
> I downloaded it from Toshiba site but it never installed saying me that my system did not meet minimum requirements.
As far as I know your notebook is equipped with Intel graphic card and so you are installing the latest display driver from Toshiba website. Is this right?
Well, I have to say that I had the same issue on my Satellite U400 that is also equipped with Intel graphic card. The solution for this problem was pretty easy: I installed the driver via device manager. There select the graphic card, make a right click on it and select Update Driver. In next windows choose the advanced installation where you can choose the driver directory yourself. After the installation make a restart and thats all! :)

Tetris always starts with the same blocks

Has anyone else noticed that the first game in Tetris after launching it always starts with the same blocks? For me, it always gives me the red "Z" block, the yellow square, the green "Z", orange "L", purple "T", blue straight block, blue "L", and so on. Every time. Without fail. And although my second game starts with something different, all second games always start with the same sequence too (purple "T", orange "L", yellow square, green "Z", red "Z", and so on).
Seems to me like whoever wrote the random number generator used by Tetris did a very poor job. Hopefully EA creates a version 1.1 to fix this, and Apple makes the update available for free to people who already bought Tetris. I find it hard to believe that something so obvious made it past QC.
PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 5G iPod 60GB

Definitely agree about the need for a 1.1 update. The random generator and also the fact that, on my iPod at least, if I am listening to music and playing at the same time, whenever there is a change in tracks, the game locks up for a few seconds and I can't see the piece and it ends up dropping some place unexpected. This desparately needs to be fixed as many a 12th level game has been ruined because of this.

[SOLVED] XFCE always starting with the US keyboard

Hi guys.
Recently I came back to XFCE and I have one problem: it always starts with the keymap set to US. I have to manually change it to PL (which I need) with setxkbmap. Also, when I'm using the panel plugin I cannot choose any keymaps other than the currently selected.
What can I do about it?
Last edited by JeremyTheWicked (2008-10-12 21:49:56)

The way I deal with the multimedia keys is that
1) figure out what keycodes they generate (run 'xev' and do some presses)
2) assign the correct name to them via xmodmap
maybe 3) use xbindkeys to let them do what they should do (but this is probably not necessary, DEs like xfce should be able to act just based on having a correct name assigned to the keypresses)
the xmodmap stuff:
~/.xmodmaprc wrote:keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
and then have 'xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc' executed at X start (again, some DEs do this automatically, some don't)
But! maybe figuring out the correct option for your keyboard might render all of the above steps unnecessary. I don't know a good place to look for the options, except closely inspecting the contents of /usr/share/X11/xkb - there's a lot of stuff, but that's for instance where I found out the possible variants for the us keyboard.

Mail app always starts with the standard account.

iPhone 5s
iOS 7.1.2
Mail app always starts with the standard account.
Can´t it start in the mail overview, where all different mailboxes are shown.
iPhone 4 did it..
Opens in standard account:
Should open in MailBox-Overview: (here just one mailbox)
7.1.2

After some searching I have found a solution. I had to delete the contents of the following folder:
~/Library/Mail/myemailaccount/.OfflineCache/
Note: replace "myemailaccount" with the appropriate folder on your computer that represents your e-mail account. Once I deleted the contents of this folder (there were 2 files), and restarted Mail, there were no problems.
Hope this helps a few people in the future!

I can't get Firefox to start with a blank page, which I always managed to do up till 17.0, buy now it always starts with the last page.

I have been using Firefox for several years, and know how to set my Home Page by going to Tools/Options/General, and selecting the appropriate tab.
However, since the last update to 17.0.1, It now always starts as it was when I shut down, including multiple windows if I had them open. It is so irritating that I am considering changing my browser.

Time machine backing up iCal events and Contacts with icloud

Is Time Machine backing up my iCal events and contacts? The reason I ask is because I have it set so they are stored ONLY on iCloud, NOT locally. Is this getting backed up too by Time Machine? I hope so! Because, if something were to fail, or if I were ever to accidentally delete a contact, I might like to be able to travel to the past and recuperate that contact.
Thanks for your insight,
Greg

Hope you will see this... I had the exact same question and need to be sure what I understand. It is easiest for me to have all contacts, calender contacts only as iCloud rather than machine based. But I want to be sure if there is a massive error on icloud (I have had them on mobile me, me.com) that I can restore from my external hard drive where I do regular time machine backups. How does that work? Does the time machine recognise what is on the calendar regardless of its origin (cloud, gmail, exchange) and then restore it to the machine. At which point I would need to manually edit them all to put them in the right cloud based storage??

Sequence should always start with 1

Hello,
i am using a sequence in a Mapping. But by starting the mapping the second or 3rd time the sequence did not begin with the value 1 but with the last value + 1 of the sequence in the 1st mapping.
Is it possible to use a sequence so that it always begins with the value 1 everytime you start the mapping?
Regards,
vinzi

I'm not sure I quite understood what you want, lemme get this straight:
U have a sequence named SEQUENCE and you use it in 3 different mappings. When you finish run the first, you want it to restart counting?
If so, then, I'm afraid you'll have to re-deploy the sequence. But you don't have to do it in Control Center.
You may create a stored procedure that creates the sequence using 'EXECUTE IMMEDIATE' facility. Then, use it as a pre mapping process. It would be something like:
-- This one you'd use in the pre-mapping process
create or replace procedure Create_seq as
begin
execute immediate 'create sequence bla bla bla bla';
end;
-- This one you'd use in the post-mapping process
create or replace procedure drop_seq as
begin
execute immediate 'drop sequence bla bla bla bla';
end;
Then, using this procedures in each mapping you want to use the same sequence. That should be enough.
Good luck

Eth0 always starts with rc.d/network start

Here is the relevant bit from my rc.conf
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.5"
#eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 eth1)
but eth0 always starts. I am using a wireless card on eth1 to connect to the web and eth0 is a builtin NIC - it's really annoying!

dibblethewrecker wrote:um - as you can see from my rc.conf - that isn't gonna work for me!
I saw your "rc.conf". What I'm trying to explain to you is an easy sol'n. You seem to have you integrated NIC disabled anyway. What I offered was what worked for me. Of course, this was before hotplug was being used, so I don't know how that adds into the mix...
I guess your post was more of a "concern as to why this is occuring" than a sol'n. What I meant, in case of confusion was this:
MODULES=(...,<wireless NIC>,<integrated NIC>...)
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="eth1 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.5"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 !eth1)
I believe that's what gave me a eth0 only interface, with no eth1, and eth0 was my wireless NIC. I don't think you'll have to worry what hotplug is doing that way. I may be wrong...

Openbox always starts with only 1 desktop

can anybody tell me what's wrong with the following rc.xml entry? I always get only 1 available desktop on startup, and then have to use the openbox gui configurator to tick up the number to 5 to enable them (then I tick back down to 4).
<desktops>
<number>4</number>
<firstdesk>1</firstdesk>
<names>
<name>1</name>
<name>2</name>
<name>3</name>
<name>4</name>
</names>
<popupTime>600</popupTime>
</desktops>

When my xml edits don't work as I expect, I always check with xmllint or I use an online xml validator such as this one from w3c: http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_upload

Always starting with a project...

Hi!
When I start GarageBand 10 it always starts up an old project that I´ve saved and closed!
Can I get this to stop and how?
I want it to start the program without choosing any project.
Regards
H

If you hold down the alt/options key while launching Garageband, it will not open a previous project, but present the File Chooser dialog or simply the main menu bar.
Alternately, you can ctrl-click (or right click) the Dock icon and select from the list of recent projects.

Does iCal report always report .ics times as GMT when sending via Mail?

I received a .ics file from someone sending it in Outlook in Los Angeles (GMT-08:00) for an event from noon to 2pm. I am in the same time zone. I double-clicked it, and it showed up as a tentative event in iCal, starting at noon as expected. I then accepted it, and an email was automatically sent to the other participants. In the body text, it said: "Rehearsal, scheduled for December 7, 2008 at 8:00 PM (GMT)."
The recipient didn't pay attention to the "GMT" text. Is the body text always going to report in GMT, or are there other other options?
I haven't thought through all the ramifications, but it would be useful to report the local time (of the person(s) receiving the confirmation email(s).
Relevant parts of .ics file I received:
DTSTART:20081207T200000Z
DTEND:20081207T220000Z
DESCRIPTION:When: Sunday\, December 07\, 2008 12:00 PM-2:00 PM (GMT-08:00)
Pacific Time (US & Canada).
Relevant parts of .ics file sent from my machine automatically upon acceptance in iCal:
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
DTSTART:20081207T200000Z
DESCRIPTION:When: Sunday\, December 07\, 2008 12:00 PM-2:00 PM (GMT-08:0

DTEND:20081207T220000Z

I'm a few steps further towards a working iCal server now. Your answer clarified a lot.
User on iCal server:
Invitations are sent via [email protected] Both to invitees on same email domain and to external invitees.
When I (user on iCal server) am invited by someone not on our iCal server, I get the invitation via Mail.app and iCal local reads it. And I'm able to reply, and my reply status updates in my local iCal. No problems so far.
Mail.app (not iCal server) then sends a reply. And the inviter receives the reply as an email which is an .ics file attached. But the .ics is not understood by users not on iCal server.
The format looks like this:
ATTENDEE;CN="Myfirstname Mylastname";
CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;EMAIL="[email protected]";
PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;
ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT:urn:uuid:38BCCE7F-D85C-4C17-872E-5C3CFFFB4838
I looks like the inviters iCal is not able to translate urn:uuid:38BCCE7F-D85C-4C17-872E-5C3CFFFB4838 to anything usable. And therefore sees it as if an unknow user has replied to the invitation. Apparently neither Mozilla Lightning og iCal local looks at EMAIL="[email protected]";
Inviting and replying to and from users on iCal server works fine.
Do I have to map the urn:uuid to the email somehow? Where? Or somehow allow external inviters to look to our server for urn:uuid to email translation?
Or can I manually change a config file to send an .ics with my email insted my urn:uuid? Like this:
PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT:[email protected]

Motion Effect doesn't always work with Time Remapped clips

Hello all. I used Premiere 4 extensively (yes, '4' not 'CS4') and I'm just getting back in to it with CS6. Lots of cool new stuff to learn but I'm happy to see the basics are pretty much the same!
I'm wondering if anyone has much experience using motion effects on time-remapped clips. If I set 'position' or 'scale' keyframes in the Effect Controls, the changes are not always reflected in the program monitor, depending on the clip. If I try and set keyframes by dragging the video around the program monitor, it puts keyframes in places where I don't expect.
This doesn't affect all time-remapped clips, just some of them. Or maybe it does affect them all, just to varying degrees, depending on how extreme the time remapping is. I'm guessing now.
If I were to speculate further, I would say that the motion effect is operating on the clip before the time remapping gets applied. Again, just a guess, which is why I'm asking if someone more knowledgable has any insights before I pursue this much further..
Many thanks!

Hi Jeff, thanks for your response! Nested clips, you say? I have heard of these things but I can only imagine what they are and how to use them. Sounds like it's time for me to RTFM!
There's so much new stuff, it doesn't surprise me that I have to not only figure out the new feature, but the proper workflow to utilize it. I gotta ask: Do you know of any documents along the lines of "how to use modern premiere from the perspective of an antiquated premiere professional"? 4.2 was my bread and butter for many years and I knew it like the back of my hand. As such, it's kind of hard to stay awake sifting through Adobe's docs which generally assume no prior knowledge; although you giving me a place to start is a big help! But like I said: I gotta ask because it'd be great if there was something just for 'people like me.' (ain't it always the case? )
Again, thank you.
