ICal Snooze Options Are Really Annoying!

Enough said -- i can't believe i couldn't find anything in apple discussions re: this exact problem -- the extremely limited # of choices for snoozing in iCal alarms is very aggravating and i am wondering if there's a way to add options to the default list.
Thanks so much!

Sometimes i am so impressed with apple and their software and other times, i feel like there was a single person charged with an aspect of the software with absolutely no oversight. The snooze options are insane! The one good thing about Entourage's calendar was that you could enter anything for the snooze. However, in that program, you couldn't even copy an event without resorting to applescript.
Let me know if you ever figure out a solution!

  • "forward" and ".../faces" are really annoying

    I am building my first JSF app, and as usual, I am starting with the security aspects. So, I hit my login JSP, who's action will return "success", and following my navigation rules, send me to /portal/index.jsp, except, the browser URL still reads "login.jsp". UGH!!! I assume I can control navigation with a new NavigationHandler, but haven't found any docs or examples on how to write one. Is there a better way to do this, or force a "redirect" instead??? ( Struts did this too, but you could specify "redirect" in the struts-config ) In the future, I wish to control navigation with a more sophistaced workflow like tool, so I assume I will need to hack up the navigation anyway. Clues???
    Second, much of my code in previous apps, say with struts, assumed "root context" JSP location's "http://xxx.org/welcome.jsp", and my links created from say, an XSL transform assumed, correctly, that "/welcome.jsp" would work. Of cource, it explodes now, because I have to add "faces" in front of everything, which at that level, binds my assumptions of web app usage to JSF. To generalize, I changed the faces servlet mapping from "/faces/*" to "/ui/*", which works for the first request, but subsequent links in the toolkit always generate "/faces" in front of everything. UGH!!! again. Can this be modified ???

    Sorry, can't help. Just would like to commiserate with you. I hit the same problem. This behaviour of the Reference Implementation (RI) is not just annoying in my view, but wrong. I think it is a serious issue and it would be disappointing to see 1.0 spec being released with RI behaving like this.
    I am just hoping it is not part of the specification that the navigation should behave like that...

  • IPhoto won't print - where are themes? but this is really annoying.

    What does this mean?
    "There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable."
    I have always been able to print. I hate Events, but this is really annoying.
    Thanks

    Dean:
    Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder to see if there's a folder titled Themes in there. If so move it to the HD/Library/iPhoto folder and reboot. If that doesn't get iPhoto back up and printing as it should you'll have to reinstall as follows:
    Restoring iPhoto Themes
    1 - delete the current application.
    2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
    3 - delete any Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder.
    4 - delete any Themes folder from your HD/Library/iPhoto folder.
    5 - boot into the system disk that came with your computer or use the iLife 08 disk and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.
    If you have problems with a custom install from your system install disk you can use Pacifistto locate, extract and install iPhoto from the disk.
    After installing reinstall the iPhoto 7.1.1 updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime, 7.3.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • All my episodes on my ipod touch are out of order, they are in alphabetical instead of episode number. Its really annoying. How do you fix it?

    After i upgraded to iOS 6 my ipod touch has been putting all my tv shows episodes in alphabetical order instead of episode number order. I have tried a few things to put it back to normal but they just wont go back into the right order. Its really annoying if i am starting to watch something and then want to go onto the next ep on my ipod and its really annoying having to go through around 20 eps to find the next one.. Its the same on my brothers ipad. Except they dont have the episode numbers on them at all. If anyone has a solution on how to fix this it would be great. I might end up going to apple and asking myself when i get my ipad to show them excatly. If its a bug in the iOS it really needs to be fixed.

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

  • I need to block my friend on imessage for ipod because he has gotten really annoying.

    My friend has gotten really annoying, and i told him to stop talking to me, but that didnt work. I also dont want to make a new email becuse ive already made like 4 emails and i dont think i can keep track of another. Ive already done the me.com email, and that didnt work either. I wouldnt even care if someone hacked into his account and made his password get changed, because this guy is really ANNOYING!!
    I also turned off my notes in the mail page and now most of my notes are gone, is there any way to get them back.

    Depending on your situation you do have external options:
    If you are a minor (under 18 in most states..) get your parents involved.  Have your parents talk to your antagonist's parents.
    If you are an adult, or a minor and the previous suggestion did not work, you can take legal action.  There are laws against stalking and harassment.  Do not blow this off, do what you have to do to protect yourself.

  • HT1632 I can view a workout on my ipod touch history, but not in itunes or on nike+ website.  I can't seem to upload this run and it's really annoying as I'm loosing about 12k of runs.  It seems to happen when I program in a custom run.  Can you help?

    Hi there,
    I have just done a custom run on my Ipod touch 2nd Gen of 12k.  When I finished the run is appearing in my run history on my iPod touch, however it is not appearing in my itunes 'Nike+' tab, or on the Nike + website.  I can't seem to get this run to sync and it is really annoying because I'll be loosing 12k.  Can anyone help or has experienced this before?  I know there are solutions to add runs to iPod nano's and older iPods using the 'Enable disk' and iPod_control function however from what I'm aware you cannot do this on an iPod touch.  Can anyone please help?
    Many thanks
    Phil

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • Select-options are not destroyed while calling view of used component popup

    Hi Friends ,
    I'm facing a unique problem. I'm calling a view of a component within another component. the view that I'm calling has some select-options. When I close the popup window ( using close 'X' of popup ) and then try to reopen the popup system give me a dump. I debugged and found that select-options are not destroyed by system and once it tries to create the select-options again it dumps because they are already there.

  • Some options are greyed out in Captivate 8.0.1 and my bullets do not work?

    Hi, I am using Captivate 8.0.1 and am having trouble with 2 things:
    1. The bullets and indents that I have formated for my responsive project appear very messed up and not as I have formatted when I view my project in Edge Inspect?
    2. Some options in the TOC are greyed out (that I really need for my project). These option are to upload an icon and to align the position of the TOC (It wont let me align to the side of my project as the only option available is for 'overlay'.
    Any ideas on how to fix these problems would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi there
    Captivate 8 introduced the first "Responsive" type of project. And in these types of projects, certain things simply won't work in the output. Henceforth, their options will often be disabled (or "grayed out"). The TOC appears to be one such item. The only option is to use an overlay TOC. I would suspect that this is because of "responsive design". Since the output will be adapting to differing screen sizes, I'm guessing that adding an additional 250 or so pixels for a TOC could prove troublesome and would likely throw off all the other design elements.
    Where exactly are you finding you are not capable of uploading an icon? I see that I'm able to upload icons that represent the collapse and expand gizmos, but you may be in a different spot.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I'm getting really annoyed with the Mac.

    Don't mean to offend geniune Mac fans here, but I'm just getting really annoyed with the Mac.
    I purchased my Mac mini (late 2012) in May of 2013 - so it's about 4 months old. I don't have a lot of software on it, mainly the Adobe Creative Suite, and development tools (Xcode, and web development software).
    The mini has this annoyance where, every so often it just freezes. It usually happens during when the screensaver is running, or when the monitor goes into standby and I try to wake it up. First the screensaver runs for 15 minutes. Sometimes it happens (it's random) that the screensaver "stalls" and the mac freezes. If it "survives" the screensaver, then after 15 minutes my monitor goes into standby mode. Sometimes when I wake up the monitor, I get the login window, I log in, and then I find that the Mac just froze.
    A few days ago I've updated to 10.8.5. Now these freezes are happening more often. The mac freezes just whenever, regardless of screensaver or not. There was a time when I had ReadKit running, displaying an article. I went to the kitchen, when I came back the mini was frozen as ice. No other program was running (I mean program that I started).
    Other times I had Chrome open at youtube. It was not playing a video. The browser was just "parking" at youtube's home page. Same thing. I go away, come back, the mini was frozen.
    Yet just a few days ago, I had no user started application running. None. I leave the mini alone for a short while, come back, and I find the fan was running like crazy. The mac was not hot at all, but the fan went bonkers. It was loud and pumping air out for no reason.
    At these times I can't do anything. Sometimes I can move the window, or move icons on the desktop, but I cannot force quit an app, neither I can start one. So things like going to the apps folder and starting terminal or activity monitor is not possible. I cannot select menu items from the Finder (or any other application) menus, so I can't restart or shut down the mac. The only thing I can do at these times is hold the power button for a few seconds to force the mac to shut down.
    I'm coming from Windows. I built and upgraded my PC a few times in the past 7-8 years with newer and faster MOBOs, processors, memory, etc. I never had a bad component; I never had a blue screen; I never had my PC hang; I have never encountered any issues that would make my PC hang or froze or otherwise. I never had to troubleshoot software or hardware problems because they were/are just non existent. I'm not trying to start a war here about PCs and Macs. I'm completely natural.
    But here I am with this "thing" that supposed to be so great and trouble free. I have already reinstalled the OS once during this 4 month old mac, but now it seems I have to do it again because ever since 10.8.5 things has gotten worse. This is really N-O-T what I expected from a Mac. I am just really annoyed, frustrated and everything else.
    I was browsing these support forums and tried/looked at a couple of diagnostic steps, but none helped so far. I will attempt to reinstall the OS A-G-A-I-N over the weekend. If that doesn't help, then I will have to put this junk into the garbage can. (Well, figuratively speaking of course.)
    Mac mini late 2012
    OS X 10.8.5
    i7 2.6 GHz 8G
    Samsung S27B970 display via DisplayPort
    Apple extended wired keyboard
    Logitech LS1 laser mouse
    No other peripherials

    Hey thanks for the feedback woodmeister! No, I was not aware of the hardware diagnostics!
    So I have eagerly followed the isntructions, but I quickly found out what I have already experienced looking at other Apple "unhelpful" documentation. When I was referring in my OP that I've looked at other resources, the problem was that those "un-support" documents were out of date and the article indicated that Apple has retired them.
    Now as far as the link that you sent (and the same can be found in the Help section of OS X as well, wasn't helpful either. Why?
    In the document the bullets are as follows:
    If you have a new Mac (mid-2013 or later), use Apple Diagnostics, which is built into your Mac.
    If your Mac has OS X v10.8.3 or earlier, use Apple Hardware Test, which is built into your Mac.
    If you updated your Mac to OS X v10.8.4 or later, use the system software disc or USB flash drive that came with your Mac.
    Let's start with bullet #1. As far as I know (and correct me if I'm wrong) but I'm not aware of mid-2013 Mac minis. Mine is late 2012, so I guess I don't fit into bullet #1.
    Bullet #2. I have OS X 10.8.5 so it means I don't fit into that bullet either.
    Bullet #3. Yes, I did update to 10.8.4 or later (using 10.8.5) but neither a software disc nor a USB flash drive came with the Mac mini late 2012 model.
    So what now? Another great "support" document that is confusing and/or not helpful. Nevertheless, I did give it a try. Disconnected my ethernet cable, hold down D, and rebooted. I get a "Choose Network Connection" drop down on the gray screen where I'm supposed to choose a Wi-Fi network. Why? This has not been mentioned in the docs. My Wi-Fi is disabled because I'm connecting through cable.
    So I reconnected the cable. As soon as I did that, I got the message that ... let's see... my memory is failing me... the recovery mode or reinstalling the OS will begin... or something along that line. There was NO ANY INDICATION about any hardware test or diagnostics!
    See, what I mean about frustration...?

  • Problems with Media and my Blackberry Bold, is it time for me to give up on RIM this is really annoying

    Hello RIM,
    Over the past year since owning a Blackberry, I have had on-going issues with syncing my music between my (2) bolds, so I know this is not specific to the hardware, I have also managed 400 BB's on a BES before so I have a fair idea of how to do things and troubleshoot issues.
    1. My music many times has sounded severely distorted through my car speakers, with lots of bad crackle that hurts my ears
    2. Transferring media between my device and my computer is actually really annoying and now I can't even find my playlists on Windows 7
    3. This should be seemless, it should not be buggy and I can't believe, having done so much support with your hardware and software that this continues to be a real problem for me
    I have a playbook, 2 blackberry bolds (I had to buy another 1 because Mobilicity does AWS only and Bell was just plain mean to me so I gave up on them).
    I am ready to go on ebay and get rid of this stuff because whilst I mostly use it as a phone (the reason I went with BB), it is important that I am able to do other things with it, without having to go through a dozen articles and issues just to get things to work, these should have been ironed out in the bug reporting process.
    So I have reinstalled both Itunes and BB Desktop Manager, both manually and via repair and tried even recopying over my playlists, this doesn't work.
    I can't believe the lousy support and buggy software, come on RIM, there is no excuses in this market, PICK UP YOUR GAME and update the BDS or I am done and so will the many other people who won't even take their time to write anything about it on here but vote with their wallet.

    Well you know the playbook is actually pretty cool but didn't seem to be ready to go out on time and being a late entrant to the market I would have expected them to showcase the playbook better, especially like how Nintendo gets out there and gets everyone playing with it hands on, there are some things about the Playbook that actually make it unique but it has been poorly marketed.
    Unfortunately getting BDS and everything to work properly should not be an issue, I have already spent thousands of dollars on hardware and my phone provider, what am I actually paying for here? So I will spell out some things that make the Blackberry Playbook special and what I would have been pushing had I been in charge of marketing. Firstly I would have had a few different campaigns going, one that targeted business corporate customers, regular business customers and the public that use them as their choice of smartphone and open to potentially buying one.
     1. Flash works really great, come on blackberry, why couldn't you team up with Facebook on this one? Facebook looks better on a Playbook than any other tablet I have seen, in fact the web looks better in general.
    2. Stereo speakers(dual), movies sound great, music sounds great and so do games, in this area, Playbook has the upper hand.
    3. USB & HDMI out - Allows much easier portability of presentations and transferring of files and now I believe there is the Wifi Sync as well.
    4. Blackberry Bridge - You know it's like RIM got backed into a corner on this one, but you know, I think this is the most secure way to operate a tablet, I love how when I turn off bluetooth on my bold, my personal and private information is removed and I can pass it to friends and family without my personal communications being looked into, with the other tablets, it's pretty hard to have different people on them, without probably creating different profiles, with the Playbook, you could share it between a team and it would seamlessly operate between them.
     5. True Multitasking - You know, you can play music, whilst playing a game and you can switch between applications, this funtions pretty awesome. I put on some cool music and loaded up a game on the device and someone whom had an Apple device was sincerely impressed he could listen to music whilst reading or playing games etc. This could also enhance Business Presentations that require audio in the background whilst displaying and going through different information / files or charts.
    6. QNX OS - I mean wow Blackberry, this Operating System is fantastic, I love it, this was an EXCELLENT choice and this I will give you 5 stars on, I can't wait to see what QNX can do on the Blackberry and I would not be surprised if the QNX OS became a major OS against the others, it definitely is polished and apps just install and are ready to go in no time.
     RIM has been ahead of the game and because of it's great name with-in business circles they have almost sold themselves and whilst it's nice to see that RIM has sold over 250,000 units with-in the first week this could have been drastically improved by realizing when getting into a NEW market, they need to do the proper marketing and get the devices out there with subject matter experts to educate people whom are checking them out so they can share that information with their friends.
     Google paid a very large price with their Nexus One because they where over-confident and thought they would sell based on their name alone, this could have been a learning curve RIM did not have to deal with. There are actually other nice things about the Playbook, the apps that are in their app store are pretty cool and when Android apps are available it will be cooler.
    I like the size of the tablet I can comfortably reach accross the screen to hit all the keys on the digital keyboard making it any larger and I couldn't hold it in my hands with the same comfort; copping out to apple fan boys thinking they must have a 10.1" tablet is not necessary, this is the perfect size to sit in your hands, some people think they are small but if they actually watch a movie or play a game on it or look at websites by "Playing with it themselves" they will react differently and actually suggest if your going to do a 10.1" tablet, also keep the smaller sized one as well.
    Suggestions :
    - Working on building in more extensions for gaming such as Unity so that games like battlestar galactica online etc could be played online and directions could be replaced by using the gyroscope.
     - Hire more people if you are having problems meeting deadlines, these companies, including Apple are taking risks to win the market, if your going to take a swing at your competitors, please make it a punch and not a jab, the biggest thing you still have on your side is the market you already had and the market share you have been losing and since we all upgrade our devices so often at this time, come out with something special and we will continue to support you. Okay now that I have that off my chest I feel better. DAMMIT !

  • HT2534 I cannot download free apps or update current apps. I am being asked over and over to input CC information I have been downloading apps for a year now suddenly this I even purchased an iTunes giftcard and no dice. Only options are Mastercard, Visa,

    I have had my iPhone 4 for a year and a half, with absolutely no issues. I've been downloading, using, and upgrading apps all the while, until suddenly I ran into this issue.
    I used a pre-paid credit card to make an in-game purchase, and ever since then I am asked to put Mastercard, Visa, or Amex information into my billing info. I do not have a credit card, I even purchased an iTunes gift card thinking I could use that as a 'payment method' (even though I was simply trying to update an existing free app) and there's no option for it.
    Frankly, I'm quite irritated. I wouldn't mind making a new iTunes account, but wouldn't that affect the apps/purchases/saved game info associated with my current account?
    How the heck do I fix this issue, I can't use facebook as it requires an update but I can't update without a CC. Ugh.

    I also wish to perform the 'free' upgrade to the mavericks OS however I am prompted to enter credit card details. This is neither appropriate and obstructive to my apple experience. I only wish to perform the upgrade and will give my details at a later date should I wish to make a future purchase. Please let me know what options are available to me without entering credit card details. It seems an unnecessary request for my financial information for which I don't/can't provide and is already limiting my iphone experience. I wish to use apple products in the future however I fail to see the logic of the credit card requirement for a "free" upgrade. An annoying roadblock to a smooth user experience.
