ICal's day won't start later than 12noon

my work day starts at 5pm and ends around midnight - iCal only has options for midnight to noon (a twelve hour period) which eliminates anyone who's day starts after noon.
any help?

Hi,
I had the same problem, not only with ical but also with adress book. I checked my Library/Fonts folder and found three font suitcase files with the following name:
ÇcÇeÇoä®í‡ó¨
After dragging all three to trash and trying to empty it I could only remove 2 of them because obviously one was "still in use", it is the one mentioned above. So I put it back. Since then both ical and adress book work normal again and do no longer disappear.
I have no idea which application installed that funny font, I did install MS Office 2004. Otherwise I run an i-Mac G-4 under Leopard 10.5.1
Maybe some of you can fix the problem this way. Greetings from Switzerland, Alex

  • ICal on Tiger won't start. No crash message.

    Hi all,
    I installed Leopard on an unsupported 800Mhz G4 iMac. It worked fine but the airport card wasn't supported, so I decided to revert back to Tiger.
    So, I did an erase and install, to give me a brand "new" clean system. After the install I downloaded the software updates.
    Then I did a sync, replacing all the data on the computer with the data in .Mac. Everything works fine: mail, address book, bookmarks ... BUT ... iCal now won't start. The icon bounces 3 or 4 times, then it stops without another word. Looking in the console log shows that iCal hits a "white space" or "white page" error (I'm not at my machine ATM)
    Anybody got any ideas how to cure this? Can I do a reinstall to repaie iCal?
    Stuart

    Stuart,
    .Mac has been suffering maintenance pains since Oct 19, 2007 5:51 AM.
    If your problem is related to .Mac sync, and you do not have any other backups, it may be difficult to resolve until .Mac is fully functional.
    In the meantime experiment with removing the iCal Plist. This can be accomplished by quitting iCal and dragging the com.apple.iCal.plist file which is located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior. You can delete the iCal plist file on your Desktop.

  • Alarm starts later than the time set!!

    I am still puzzled!
    I have a 5800 Xpress Music since almost a year now, regularly updating it to the latest softwares and all, everything was working well until I reached version 30 and then 31 of the updates, somehow, and for some reason a very weird problem started to happen to me! The alarm clock starts off in a later time than the one I set! For example, I set the alarm to 7:00 am, but it starts at 7:05 am! Actually it could start any time from 1-5 minutes later than the actual time set! 
    Moreover, the snooze! When I snooze the alarm that is already late, it wouldn't snooze for the period I already set! like, I have set the snooze time to be 6 minutes, but, when I press snooze, it would snooze for 10 or even 15 minutes instead! 
    It's really so weird, I tried to turn off automatic time update, I have even changed the SIM card, but nothing is working! it seems a bug in the new software because everything was fine before!
    Please if anyone could help me don't hesitate!  

    Not only that but timed profiles don't expire at the right time either and scheduled backups don't happen.
    Right now there is no solution. The firmware is buggy and that's all there is to it.
    We have to wait for an update. The phone was only released about a year ago so there's hope yet that Nokia will release further updates.

  • PB won't start more than once without PMU Reset

    My son just got a hand-me-down G4 1.5Ghz 15" PowerBook at work. When he got it the battery would not hold a charge for more than about 5 minutes. We checked the serial number and it was part of the PowerBook battery recall so we requested a battery exchange from, Apple. The new battery arrived today and when he put it in, the PowerBook would not start up even on AC.
    He reset the PMU and it seemed to be OK but when the computer went to sleep he could not wake it up. He uplugged it and took out the battery but it will not restart. Also, the charge indicator on the AC adapter turned green after about 15 minutes but the battery indicator in the menu bar still says 0%. He pushed the test button on the bottom of the battery but no lights come on so the battery can't be charged. Even putting the old battery back into the PB won't let it restart more than once without resetting the PMU.
    While the old battery did not hold a charge at least the machine could be used and restarted without a PMU reset. Now it won't even do that.
    Anyone see this behavior on another machine? Any suggestions on what is wrong or how to fix it?
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    David

    It appears that deleting the com.apple.Powermanagement.plist file has resolved the restart problem. In fact. it looks like the old battery may now be charging properly. I still can't get the machine to start using the replacement battery.

  • Exchange online defrag starts later than I expect!

    My Exchange 2007 database online defrag is a bit strange.<o:p></o:p>
    Every evening it never completes so it picks up from where it left off the day
    before, which is not a problem.<o:p></o:p>
    I have changed the schedule so that its opportunity window is from 01:00 am to 8 am<o:p></o:p>
    However it does not start until 5.30 am, and then finishes promptly at 8 am!<o:p></o:p>
    Is there something I am missing? <o:p></o:p>
    <o:p> </o:p>
    Thanks everyone!<o:p></o:p>

    Hi Kevin,
    When exchange online defrag process starts, it will generate new event log entries that help you examine the progress of the scheduled. I recommend you refer to these logs to verify if the schedule have been delayed.
    For more details about Online Defragmentation, please refer to the following articles:

  • Spool request starts later than job

    Hello ,
    a job started at 21:00. The first statement of the ABAP was a write-Statement (Write sy-uzeit)
    The corresponding spool was generated at 23:00. The job stopped at 2:00
    Can someone explain this? I have no idea
    Thanks and best regards

    Have you set the job class to "A" ? i.e. high priority?

  • Events are a day late than entered and duplicated

    since ios5, events are showing up on the ipad a day later than they did before the uprade. ical on the mac was doing the same mistake before the upgrade. the actual info of the event shows the correct date and time.
    i did change the first day of the week to monday (on the mac), in case that gives anyone a clue. changing it back doesn't cure it though.
    time support is on - i am located in new zealand - on both ipad and macbook. turning it off doesn't cure the problem.
    on the mac, most events are duplicated, sometimes on the same day, but some events are shown on the correct day plus a day later.
    one of my main reasons for using an ipad, indeed mac at all, is that it "just works".
    sync is now done over icloud.
    does anybody know why this is happening? i need to enter new events but can't trust the software not to stuff it up. back to pen and paper...

    just thought to check on ical on icloud. same problem, but as with the ipad, no duplications.

  • Schedule starts 1 hour later than should - how sort?

    Hi,
    Scheduled process flow created and running but runs 1 hour later than should.
    Look in all_scheduler_jobs and says should run daily at 10. 00 p.m but when look at all_scheduler_job_run_details shows start timne of 11.00 p.m each day.
    select sysdate form dual shows correct time.
    How do we cleanly set up schedule so starts at runtime rather or is it a databse parameter we need change.
    Based in UK 0 - all_scheduler_jobs shows UTC but no + 1 hour so not sure why kicking off 1 hour later than should.
    Any ideas?
    Many Thanks

    Did the (or does the) machine used with the design client when deploying the mapping job have a different time? Thats what I think is most probably. The time in the database scheduler table is dervied from the schedule defined in OWB, the code for the schedule is generated on the design client.
    Cheers

  • I am upgrading to Calendar Server 4.0 on NT with more than 9 nodes (or I already have) and my server won't start

    I am upgrading to Calendar Server 4.0 on NT with more than 9 nodes
    (or I already have) and my server won't start.
    <P>
    The steps are the same whether you have already upgraded or are about to.
    <P>
    Calendar Server 4.0 on the Windows NT platform can only support up to nine
    nodes on one server, while 3.51 supported up to 14. If you have a Calendar
    Server 3.51 with more than 9 nodes that you want to upgrade to Calendar Server
    4.0, Netscape recommends that you migrate the extra nodes to another Calendar
    Server 3.51 on another Windows NT system. To accomplish this:
    <OL>
    <LI>Install Calendar Server on another Windows NT machine and configure it to
    use the same directory server as your current Calendar Server.
    <LI>Stop and backup your current Calendar Server.
    <LI>Individually zip up the node directories you want to move to the new
    server. (drive:\unsers\unison\db\Nx
    where "x" is the number of the node you want to use.)
    <LI>Stop the new Calendar Server.
    <LI>Unzip the files into the new Calendar Server in the same place as they
    were on the old server.
    <LI>Edit the unison.ini
    file on the new server to add the nodes you have just migrated.
    <LI>Edit the unison.ini
    file on the old server to remove the nodes you have moved to the new server.
    <LI>Edit the nodes.ini
    file on the old server to remove the nodes you just moved and then add them
    with the new hostname. Keep in mind that you will only be able to modify the
    node network from the old host.
    <LI>Run unidbfix -export
    on both servers for all nodes.
    <LI>Edit the remotenodes.ini
    file on both servers to reflect your node topology.
    <LI>Run unidbfix -import
    to import the changes into the node databases.
    <LI>Run unidbfix -c,
    then -f,
    then -c
    again on both servers for all the nodes.
    <LI>If you don't get any errors, run uninode -test all
    to test if your nodes connections are set properly. If they are not, <B>do not</B>
    start either of the servers; instead, fix the errors and try again.
    <LI>Start both servers.
    <LI>Log in and check to see if you can see people on remote nodes.
    <LI>Notify the users on the moved nodes of their new calendar host.
    <LI>If you did this in preparation of an upgrade, you can now run the upgrade to
    4.0 since both servers contain fewer than 9 nodes.
    </OL>

    Use Disk Utility whihc is in the Utilities Folder.
    Select your Boot Disk on the left.
    Select Verify Permissions
    If any errors the do Reapir permissions.
    You might have to repeat the process.

  • I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up.

    I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up. It goes to the grey Apple screen and just sits there loud as can be. Help! Please keep in mind I've not done anything like this before and am going to need a little hand-holding. Thanks in advance.

    Hi. Don't worry it's nothing serious. Insert the Instal Disc (Snow Leopard) and press the C button while turning on the computer. Once you see the desktop, go to Utility and choose Disk Utility. Select the Macintosh Partition on the left window pane and then click on Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions on the bottom right corner. Wait for both processes to finish. Click on the Apple icon (top left corner) and choose quit. Your computer should restart. See if it reboots normally. If not you can always reinstall the OS following the same steps. Good luck!

  • Every other day, my mac won't start up

    every other day, my mac won't start up. my keyboard would light up and i hear the system start but nothing is appearing in the screen. i would have to press the start button until the screen actually shows up.. why does it do that?

    Have you just tried repairing with Disk Utility?
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • Comparing dates (Start date should not be later than End date etc ...)

    Hello All,
      I have a table (5 rows) with 7 columns. Of which the first to columns are the start date and the end date. Can someone kindly advise on how I can go about to ensure that there is some validation mechanism in place such that the start date is not later than the end date and vice versa ? Thank you very much.

    Hi
      Use calculated attributes as Pran suggested. It should work. Where are you getting the data from. Is it from R/3. The node bound to the table ui element is it a model node. Anyway Here is the link on how to use the calculated attribute.
