ICal reminders don't work when Mac is off

iCal does not send email reminders if the Mac is turned off which is obviously not very useful. I cannot ensure that my Macbook is on+connected to the internet each time a reminder needs to be sent. For instance, I might be at work and still want to be reminded about something through email because I can access that from work.
Is there a workaround this problem?
Many thanks.

I know iCal does not send reminders when Mac is off, but my question was if there is a workaround this problem. Firstly, this is not such an absurd request because A. all other calendar services like Yahoo and Hotmail do send email reminders at any time since they are web-based. and B. when i'm travelling or on vacation i cannot keep the Mac on all the time. It is for these times i'm asking if there is a way.
Thanks.

Location based reminders don't trigger when screen is locked

I've tried using location based reminders a handful of times since installing iOS 5. The one thing I've noticed about them (other than the battery drain), is that they don't work when the phone is in standby (i.e. screen is off). Unlike time based reminders which will sound even when the phone is in standby. Location based reminders will only remind you after you unlock the screen.
Here's an example based on a reminder I set today:
1. I set a reminder to remind me to vote when I left my house.
2. I left my house and drove about a 1/2 mile, all the while looking at my phone to see if the reminder triggered.
3. Eventually I decided to press the home button and unlock the screen. The moment I did so the reminder popped up.
Basically if I hadn't "remembered" about the reminder and unlocked the screen, I wouldn't get reminded until the next time I used my iPhone which could have been hours later. I'd think considering the battery drain and constant use of GPS that it should remind me shortly after leaving my house.
Is this the way reminders are supposed to work?

In iOS7, location-based reminders won't fire if the Reminders app is explicitly terminated by the user.
That is if the user removes an application from the Multi-Tasking application list (brought up with a double-press of the Home button), iOS 7 will conclude that the user doesn't want this app to get any more run-time. That implies that Reminders won't be launched again to display your location-based reminders.
The Reminders app needs to be running in the foreground or to be put in the background for location-based reminders to work.
This is not a bug. This is intended behavior.

My links don't work when I combine another file with the pdf

My internal bookmarked links don't work when I combine another file with the pdf.
The external links continue to work fine, though.
This doesn't make any sense to me at all ... but I'm hoping one of you kind folk can help?

I opened my file and instead of merging files I used insert pages and inserted all of the pages from the file I wanted. Then I saved the file with
the same name. Attached is a rough draft of some helpful hints I put together. This has been a very painful process for us to discover how to handle
this and there really is not much help from Adobe.
Instead of merging files you inset pages. In Acrobat select Document - Insert pages -From file. You can select all pages or some and where you want them inserted. After you do that save the file not save as and all of your links should work. If you combine files or merge files all of the links will break.

I think it's something to do with naming, but I can't figure out what. This is because it asks to be saved and gives me a Binder no as the name. If I
press Cancel at that point, I keep the file and the links. But as soon as I need to close it, it asks me again 'Do you want to save this file' and if
I say 'Yes', I lose all the links, and if yet if I say 'No', I lose the whole file. So at some point it has to be saved but whether I keep the Binder
no name when I save it, or use the original name, it makes no difference ... it is in the saving of it that it looks the functionality, and yet, if I
don't save it, I lose the file.
This makes no sense to me....I hope it does to one of you.
For instance, Christine, how did you keep your file if you couldn't save it?
Or have I misunderstood?

In my Ameritrade account the sub-header titles don't work when selected.

In my Ameritrade account the sub-header titles don't work when selected. Is it maybe an add on or the beta version 14.01a of firefox or something else?
I can't give the address as it is a confidential site, sorry. But for example when you pick trade and try to select buy or sell tab it does nothing. I tried downloading the lastest beta version 14.01a which I like to use but this didn't help? Thank you.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

My camera Nikon D800 don't work with Mac Book Pro retina... Why ?

Somebody Know why my digital reflex Nikon d800 don't work with Mac Book Pro retina ?

I shoot tethered which requires that the D800 be recognized by the laptop.
However, I just figured it out. Nikon changed their USB protocol so that the D800 doesn't show up as a mass storage device. That said, the d800 IS recognized by image capture and be computer in general, just not like previous Nikon dSLRs. If you're tethering via Lightroom make sure the Nikon tethering plugin is enabled (which it may not be if you previously shot tethered with Canon).

My Airport Time Capsule only works when I turn off and turn on, but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve?

Time Capsule Airport
Hello to all, good day, sorry my english google, but it is the tool I have at the moment. I'm having trouble with my Time Capsule Airport, I made all the settings according to the manual, but there has been a connection problem with my iMac. When I finish my work I turn off the imac and then again when they return to work and care, it can not connect to Time Capsule Airport, making it impossible to remove the files and make back up by Time Machine only works when I turn off and turn on the Airport Time Capsule , but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve? Thank you.
Olá a todos, bom dia, desculpe meu inglês google, mas é a ferramenta que tenho no momento. Estou tendo dificuldades com a minha Airport Time Capsule, fiz todas as configurações de acordo com o manual, mas tem existido um problema de conexão com meu iMac. Quando termino meus trabalhos desligo o imac e depois quando retorno pra trabalhar novamente e ligo, ele não se conecta a Airport Time Capsule, impossibilitando retirar os arquivos e fazer o back-up pelo Time Machine, só funciona quando desligo e ligo a Airport Time Capsule, mas acho que isso pode acabar com o aparelho. O que pode esta acontecendo e como resolver? Obrigado.

This is easier to do with pictures perhaps.. since we do not share a common language and machine translation leaves a lot to be desired.
In the airport utility bring up your Time Capsule.
Simply post the screenshots here.
So here is mine.
Click on the Edit button and give us the Internet and Wireless and Network tab..
eg.
Please also make sure you are set to ipv6 in your wireless or ethernet .. whichever is used.. and do tell which.
This is wifi in your computer.
The following are important..
DO not use long names with spaces and non-alphanumeric names.
Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg TC name. TCgen5
Wireless name TCwifi
Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
read apple instructions to help with TM and TC.. they did finally admit it has issues in Mavericks.
OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
Mount the TC manually in finder.
AFP://TCgen5.local
When asked for the password .. that is the disk access password and save it in the keychain.
Reset Time Machine

My iphone is not working when i plug off from charger.

My iphone is not working when i plug off from charger. Evenmore when it is on the charger and it still not working, it asks to connect to i-tunes but i can't and i can see only emergency calls. What should i do?

If it only works when connected to a charger, that would indicate a battery issue.
As for the other issue... do as it suggests and connect to iTunes then restore. There is no logical, intelligent expectation that anything on the device can be accessed as long as the "Connect to iTunes" screen is displaying.

Why the alarm dosn't work when the iphone off?

why the alarm dosn't work when the iphone off?i make alarm then i switch the phone off .but the alarm didn't work .in the past nokia phones it was work

"Standby" (or "Sleep" is the phone's normal state when not in use. "Off" is when the phone is totally shut down by holding down the Sleep button the doing the "Slide to Power Off" on the screen.
If you believe it is dangerous to be in the same room as an iPhone, your question is pointless. I suggest you invest in a clockwork alarm clock.

Slideshows don't work when published to .mac

After upgrading to iLife '08, the slideshows on my photo pages published from iWeb to .mac no longer work. They worked fine before. When I post to my web gallery directly from iPhoto, the slideshow works fine. I have checked to make sure the slideshow is enabled, and republished all of my pages. Now all of them don't work. Before that, only the new ones didn't work.

Thanks for your response, answered below:
If you build your site in iWeb '06 and converted it to '08 I would rebuild the photo pages from scratch. ANSWER The contents of the podcast track in '08 were replaced, not rebuilt
Do you still have an "iWeb" folder in Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites? ANSWER: Yes, but there is nothing in it
THE CURRENT SITUATION is that the website loads, but the podcast picture doesn't appear, just a Quicktime logo with a ? in it. The sound tracks still play but no images appear.
Asked my husband to load the page on his PC, same thing happens ie the Quicktime logo with a ? appears.

Links don't work when site is published

Help! In iWeb all my links work from the home page to other pages, but as soon as I publish it, the links are dead. None of the links on the home page will work. See for yourself http://web.mac.com/rbrooks007

I put in a new logo that no longer overlaps the links. I moved my custom navigation well down into the main body of the page, but when I publish the page they still don't work. The only link that works is in the bottom panel of the layout. Is there any way to make links work in the center section of the page? Or custom navigation in the navigation bar area? I guess I'm confused as to where I can put links that will work.

Thunderbolt displays don't work with Mac Pro

Hello,
I got today a brand new Mac Pro with 2 thunderbolt displays.
Both displays stay black when I try to connect them on any ot the 4 ports.
Old displays work on the normal port.
Why does new Mac Pro with new 2 thunderbolt displays don't work?
Thanks.

If you can just wait until next year, Time Cook is promising a totally re-vamped Mac Pro which I have to assume will have TB ports.
My only worry is that today (Oct. 23) in the whole new slew of gadgets, Apple will introduce a new TB Display, compete with USB 3.0 ports, ant-glare screens, etc.
Sigh - you live with the technology that you paid for...
