ICal for 10.4.11 - NO ALARM SET BUT EVERY TIME ICAL LAUNCHES ONE POPS UP!!

That's pretty much it. Every time I launch iCal an alarm pops up with no text in it, and there's no sound - just the small alarm window. This was happening before on a friend's computer, so this is the 2nd time I've seen this glitch. It just started happening recently and I've had this laptop for several years now. *ANNOYING! PLEASE HELP!*

I just discovered the same problem. Watching the processes, I saw that java was consuming CPU in a runaway fashion.
I suspect that the JavaVM is the culprit. I decided to use an older version because this problem happened only recently after the Release 6 update of Java.
I found that /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current pointed to the A directory which had a date approximately that of when I did the Java update.
I renamed the Current link to Current.old and created a new link pointing back to the preceding directly like this:
ln -s 1.5.0 Current
After doing that, the blogging system is acting stable and Java is not consuming runaway amounts of CPU.

  • I Purchased Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium for Mac about 4 years ago and now every time i launch one of the applications it says "Trial expired"

    I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 5 and Premiere Pro CS5 in late 2010 and I use the applications on a daily basis, until now. About a month ago I decided to create an adobe account and log in since it asks me every time, after i logged in the applications worked for about a day or two but on the third day i was getting an error that said trial expired on every CS5 application i opened except for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Adobe Bridge CS5 and  Adobe Onlocation CS5, I no-longer have the original boxes with the serial numbers due to the fact that I moved about a year ago and the boxes with the serial numbers must have been accidentally thrown away (trust me i have spent hours looking for them, i opened every box i have). What can i do to get my products working again? To repurchase all of the products it will cost thousands of dollars that i don't have.
    Thanks for reading!

    Hi,
    I had a similar problem with my Dell Latitude E4310, and apparently also the E6410, E6510.
    The solution for me was to add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
    options snd-hda-intel model=dell-s14
    I tried that, unfortunately it does not work with this chipset. I do get a different set of channels though but it still cannot record anything. Maybe this chipset is too "new" for alsa. The latest release dates back from the end of January. Support for it is explicitly stated in the changelog to 1.0.24 but perhaps the recording part of it slipped through the cracks. ALSA bug tracking system seems quite closed.

  • I set up an account including approval for paypal billing but every time I try to sign in to make a purchase for download I get a message that takes me back through the process of settin up my account. Help!

    I just set up an account at the I tunes store including authorization to charge my pay pal abount. I have also received e-mail confirmation that the account is set up, but every time I try to make a purchase I get a message that says apple ID has not yet been used with the I Tunes Store and it takes me back through the process of authorizing my paypay account. Help!

    Once you purchase or download an app it will always be associated with the Apple ID used to download it. When that app requires and update you must use the Apple ID and password used to download it in the first place. The only way around this is to delete the apps the require the old Apple ID and download or purchase them again with the new Apple ID.

  • My previous method for payment on itunes was debit card but now I dont have one.  How do I change to no card without creating a new apple id

    My previous method for payment on itunes was debit card but now I dont have one.  How do I change to no card without creating a new apple id?  It tells me to update payment details when I try to update apps but it only has visa, mastercard, amex and maesto.  I dont have any of them.  I did previously use visa but I dont have the card anymore and cant get another one.  Please can someone help me set it up so I dont need a payment method.  Thanks

    Thanks for you reply.  Is that the only way as it would cost me £15?

     Take it somewhere that has better broadband. The best you can do sometimes is invest in new modem that works with your system instead of the rental etc in most cases.
    Do a Safe Boot.
    Make sure your firewall is set properly. Don't use 3rd party. AV software can get in the way.
    Make sure you are getting the service and a clean strong modem signal - slow is one thing but if it drops off and can't maintain a connection you have hardware issues, not software - and upgrade to a new OS doesn't tend to improve, it may even not work with older networking equipment once you do get it.
     I agree and think electronic only goes too far. And when you do get it: burn the package and manually set it aside first before running the intaller! make a flash memory installer, put it on DVDs too.

  • Every time I launch itunes it always asks for password

    Every time I launch iTunes it always asks for password. I have no pending downloads or app updates. Nothing. There is no downloads plist to delete, no preferences to set - Fed up wth this. Been searching for answer for months. iTunes Store help just gives the runaround.

    Good idea, thanks, but no, that didn't solve it. Any other thoughts?

    Hi Lhughes0,
    Try these steps:
    1. Select the .jpeg file
    2. Right click on that  file and on context menu go to the last option which says "Properties"
    3. Now you will see the option where you change the program to use for opening your file
    4. Instead of Adobe Reader select Windows Photo there.
    5. Apply and say OK to it
    Give it a try

  • So im trying to buy logic pro and just recently put enough money in gift cards on my account but every time i click buy app and go to billing info and then click ok it just shoots me to the first screen and did not charge for app how can i buy it ?

    so im trying to buy logic pro and just recently put enough money in gift cards on my account but every time i click buy app and go to billing info and then click ok it just shoots me to the first screen and did not charge for app how can i buy it ?

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

  • Aperture 3 keeps asking for my serial numbers every time I launch it.

    I'm writing this not because I have this problem (though I did have it) but because I couldn't find a direct answer here in Apple Support Communities but did eventually solve it.
    After purchasing a new iMac to replace an aging MacBook Pro, I tried copying the original ProAppsSystemID file in /Library/Application Support/ProApps from the old to the new system, hoping that would transfer my Aperture license. That didn't work (for me), though Aperture continued working on the old MacBook Pro. I went digging and found my original Aperture activation keys (original and upgrade), entered those on the new iMac, and was finally able to launch Aperture 3 on the iMac.
    My problem was that Aperture kept asking me for my serial number every time I launched it. I had originally purchased Aperture 2 and then purchased the Aperture 3 upgrade. As it should, when I supplied my Aperture 3 activation key, it noted that was for an upgrade and prompted me to enter my original key. After supplying my original Aperture 2 (full license, not an upgrade) key, it would continue and launch.
    I could then use Aperture just fine, as before, however, its "About" window showed that it was "unlicensed". The next time I'd re-launch Aperture (after quitting it, obviously), I would have to go through the same process, supplying first my Aperture 3 upgrade key and then my Aperture 2 key, before it would finish launching.
    I tried everything I could think of: uninstalling and reinstalling Aperture 2, upgrading again to Aperture 3, deleting Aperture preference files, and so on. I tried logging in as root and repeating everything. I tried "repair disk permissions". Nothing helped!
    What seemed to fix my problem was going back into /Library/Application Support/ProApps and renaming "ProAppsSystemID" to "ProAppsSystemID xxx", relaunching Aperture 3, and entering the activation keys one last time. At that point, the "About" box properly indicated my version was licensed, and I was able to exit and re-launch Aperture without being prompted!
    Although my problem is solved, I'm still a but mystified, however, because the file named "ProAppsSystemID xxx" is still there, its modification date is unchanged from when I renamed it, and a new "ProAppsSystemID" file has not appeared in that directory.
    Also, it's a shame that Aperture's licensing is so fragile that this problem should arise at all. If there was something wrong with my system ID file, Aperture should have opened an error dialog or at least noted something in the system log. (It didn't, I checked.) Apple really should fix that. And here I thought only Adobe shipped egregiously stupid upgrade/licensing logic...

    Thanks  - this worked for me too - you saved me alot of heartache and wasted time :-)

    We both use the same iPad my father and I as of today, as is letting me use it too from now on (sweet! ), I do not want to make a mistake and accidently use my father's ID & passwords (dohh ), but each time the ID & Password pops up it ask for his (???), how can I access mine, so it's my account and financials being used. Thanks to any of those gifted with this knowlegde... AMAKANGAROO

    In order to reliably save the info and be able to restore at a later date, you would need to use his AppleID.
    Switch to it on iTunes, back the iPad up and confirm the backup exists (Preferences / Devices), then switch to yours, wipe the iPad and start afresh. Will also wipe his apps, as they are tied to the AppleID as well.

  • HT1349 I don't have an Apple product. I accidentally signed up for iCloud because I thought I could use it with my iTunes on my PC. Now it won't go away. I have deleted the software but every time I open iTunes it demands I reopen my iCloud session. Help.

    I want to get rid of iCloud. I do not currently have an Apple product but thought I could use it with iTunes and my PC. I have deleted the software. I told iTunes to take it off my account, but every time I open iTunes there it is again, asking me to log into iCloud. I can't get Apple support because I don't have an Apple product. I don't know how to get rid of this!

    This is for a Mac, but may be similar for a PC.
