Ical freezes when I try to add an event BUT only for 1 user

every time I try to add an event, I get the spinning wheel.
HOWEVER there are two users on this computer - when logged into the other account, ical works fine.
I have tried repairing permissions, deleting ical preferences, clearing out calendars, deleting sync services folder, even importing the database from the ical in the functioning user account.
all suggestions are extremely welcome at this point!
thanks very much
graham

nice one Austin! can't believe I didn't just look at the console before I started chucking preferences around.
I copied over address book folder from functioninguser/applicationsupport to the user that wasn't working, and now things are fine. weird problem, but nice suggestion to get me on track.
thanks!!!

"LOADING " FREEZES when I try to open any email BUT ONLY ON FIREFOX

WHENEVER I TRY TO USE FIREFOX THE WORD "LOADING" APPEARS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND FREEZES THERE. I AM THEN FORCED TO GO TO GOOGLE CHROME
TO READ MY MAIL??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== A week ago and has gotten worse ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Hi Chris,
You can't get rid of an alert. The least you can have is one that says "none".
Nevermind, I see you learned how to edit the event.

Calendar - when I want to edit a monthly recurring event but only for one month I am no longer given the box to update only that date.

Calenndar - when I want to edit a monthly recurring event but only for one month I am no longer given the box to update only that date month. How do I do this with the new operating system?

Adding to Alan's answer:
One of the problems that comes with these tricks for variable-rate acquisition is being able to match up sample data with the time that it was sampled.
If you weren't using either of E-series board's counters, there is a nifty solution to this! You'll be using 1 of the counters to generate the variable-rate sampling clock. You can then use the 2nd counter to perform a buffered period measurement on the output of the 1st counter. This gives you a hw-timed measurement of every sampling interval. You would need to keep track of a cumulative sum of these periods to generate a hw-accurate timestamp value for each sample.
Note: the very first buffered period measurement is the time from starting the 2nd counter until the first active edge from the 1st. For your app, you should ignore it.

Captivate keeps freezing when I try to add audio

Hi -
This happens sporadically, but sometimes (e.g. right now) when I try to add audio to my Captivate 7 project it just hangs and is non-responsive.
Is this a known issue? Need some help because I'm in a time crunch here.
Thanks,
Jared

Have you by any chance been using a multiple monitor setup recently?
If so, then your non-responsive Captivate might just be that a modal dialog is open but you cannot see it on your current screen setup.
When Captivate becomes unresponsive again, try hitting the ESCAPE key on your keyboard. If that returns control to you, then the multi-screen issue is your likely culprit. You need to recreate the original screen setup and when you find the elusive modal dialogs (there may be more than one) drag them back over the main screen again.

Why does iphoto freeze when I try to add a location?

Every time I try to add the location of a photo, I get the spinning color wheel. I ultimately have to force close iphoto to be able to access to program again. Any hints?

Have you set iPhoto to look up Places automatically, in the iPhoto Preferences?

Can I switch calendars (Ex. "night shift" to "day shift" cal) with a repeating event, but ONLY for that one event?? It asks "for all events or only this event" if i change the time. But it changes ALL events when i try and switch calendars. Any help??

I have 2 calendars set up for my work schedule, a "night shift" and "day shift" calendar. I've set up repeating events fro Fri/Sat/Sun 3-11pm "night shifts" and Mon/Tues 7am-3pm "day shifts". But lets say for example that I swap shifts and instead of working nights on Saturday like I normally would, I am now working days. I want to change that in my calendar. When I go to change the event, if i change the TIME it asks if i want to change all event or ONLY this event. no problem....just this single event. but when i go to change the event from the "night shift" calendar to the "day shift" calendar, it changes ALL the repeating events, and not just that one single event. can anyone help with this??? am i doing something wrong? is there a way to do this or not with the new iCal program??? i used to do this and never had any problems. Thank you!

You need to follow iPhoto terms since we only know what you tell us
what are you calling folders - in iPhoto folders can not hold photos - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
The basic default view of photo is by event (iPhoto '08 and later)
Exactly what you you trying to do?

Allow All Users To Add List Items But Only Certain users To Edit Them (SharePoint 2013)

How do we allow all users to add items to a list, but only allow certain users to edit the list items? Site is SharePoint 2013. We have tried creating custom permissions. That does not seem to work.

I've setup a custom list on my SharePoint Foundation using a custom permission level to accomplish this. I setup a custom permission level on the site called 'Add Only to Lists' which allows adding an item to the list and setup the group with
the default read and the custom permission level and it works. The users in the group get the add item but do not get edit item, not even items they created themselves.
Any users who should have full edit permissions can be setup under the normal edit/contribute/design permission level and work normal.
Below is the Role Definition pulled via PowerShell and Role Assignments on the list in question. As well as a picture showing what it looks like to something assigned that role level.
Role Definition
Name : Add Only to list
Description : Can add items to a list but cannot edit or delete
Type : None
Hidden : False
Order : 2147483647
BasePermissions : ViewListItems, AddListItems, Open, ViewPages
List Role Assignments
Member : Home Visitors
RoleDefinitionBindings : {Read, Add Only to list}
Parent : IT Equipment Request
ParentSecurableObject : IT Equipment Request
The user can create a new item, but cannot edit items - not even items he created.

Printer setup utility freezes when I try to add drivers

I have an Epson Stylus Photo RX500 all-in-one printer which worked fine until a few weeks ago. My best guess as to why it stopped working is that I let my hard drive fill up and some data got corrupted/overwritten (I've had numerous problems incuding my System Folder becoming 'unblessed' which necessitated a reinstall).
When I tried to print there were no drivers recognized. If I checked in home>library>printers I could find what appeared to be the driver (Stylus Photo RX500) but opening that would bring up a message it wasn't in my list of printers. Trying to add the printer to the list gave the message that the driver wasn't found. In the Finder the driver was listed as 372KB. In my cloned external HD the same file was listed as 408KB. Copying over the larger file to my internal didn't solve the problem.
I went to the Epson site and found a driver which was only listed for OS10.2 and a driver to Intel Macs (I have a G4 PB). I downloaded the 10.2 driver and installed it (408KB). Now when I open the printer setup utility EPSON USB is listed as an option but when I click on that the utility freezes. I've tried restarting and repairing permissions but still no go.
Yoroshiku onegaishimasu. TIA.

Ohayo gozaimasu,
I saw what was available on the US site, so went to the Epson UK site, where they show one driver for OSX - PowerPC, for the RX500, it's version 1.9b versus the 1.7 on the US site. The driver is a 7.9mb download. Looking at the other English sites around the world, 1.9b seems to be the lastest OSX PPC driver.
The link is http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDownload.aspx?lng=en-GB&ID=19449&data=6D58D 013F2B22854B9450E1814C134D338E0C605169D8D398A3275D13F8B5BB5
Perhaps that will work better for you.

My iPod freezes when i try to add a new song!

Its' so stupid! When i plug in my ipod to my USB port my ipod says: do not disconnect
then my iPod freezes and i have to restart it again it's so STUPID!
And so i can't upload songs into my ipod! What can i do?

I was having the same problem. I found that shutting down all other programs helps. It dosen't lock up on me when everything else is off.

I cleared my browsing history now I can't get into my E-mail. When I try I receive a security box asking for user name and pass word. I click on the enter button, nothing happens. IE works. I removed part of Mozilla and reinstalled it. This did not help.

When I start Firefox, a box appears stating (exc in handl: type errow: brw is undefined). Once I click on the O.K. Button, Firefox appears.

I get "you cannot add events to a mail calendar" when I try to add events

I was in Mail and created a to do and a new calendar was created called "[email protected]>calendar". When I try to add an event to this new calendar I get the error "you cannot add events to a mail calendar". I can create new calendars under the "[email protected]" group heading. And I have tried to import iCal events into a new calendar created under the "[email protected]" heading but, when I close iCal all the newly imported events disappear.
Is iCal corrupt? Can someone explain what this calendar is for? Doesn't seem to be of any use if you cannot events to it.

this is happening to me as well, I cannot create an event in our shared calendar

When I try to add a new event to iCal a dialog says "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". How do I cancel this?

When I try to add a New Event to iCal a dialog box keeps saying "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". iCal is, however, receiving up-dates from my other devoces via iCloud. Can anyone help unblock this for me please?

You can not add events to the birthday's calendar. To add birthday's to the birthday calendar you need to add the birthday to a contact in the Contacts app.
You can set your default calendar here:
iCal > Preferences > General > Default Calendar and chose the calendar you want to default to.

In itune did you play any of the songs downloaded. If so plug your ipod back in an manualy check off to sync all music. If that doesn't work you might have to restore the ipod.
