ICal won't let me change alerts.

I want to get text message alerts so I set up my an email in my address book under my name card that will send me texts. It shows up in iCal as an email option for alerts but when I click it it automatically goes back to my primary email. Anyone?

Just thought I would update this post as I am still continuing to have this problem, over a month later. For example, today, I tried to create an event to remember that I went to lunch with my family today to start at 1 PM and end at 3 PM. I change the start time to 1 PM and wait for it to auto update the end time to 2 PM. It doesn't. Then I close it - and bam it's back to 6 PM - 7 PM.
I close iCal. I try again. Same problem. I software update and restart my iMac. Try again. Same problem. This is getting to be very frustrating. I keep track of hours I work and other things on iCal and I look back at days I believe I had saved, and it looks like iCal has changed those times. I've used iCal since 2004 and I am getting frustrated with this problem that I am considering using an alternative method to keep track of appointments since I can no longer rely on the accuracy of entries I try to make.

Ical won't let me change name of reminders

When I type in a new name for an iCal reminder it always reverts back to previous name. Have tried restarting several times.

Greetings Evie,
Your profile indicates you are running Mac OS X 10.6.7. Go to Apple > Software Update and install any and all available updates until no more are offered.
Troubleshooting:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

ICal won't let me change times of Google calendar event

I have been using iCal with Google Calendar for a long time, but suddenly, this morning, I am no longer able to edit times in my calendar events. If I create a new event, it gets default times, and I can edit it all I want, but when I save it and then view it again, the old times are there. I can edit the times accessing Google Calendar directly in a browser, and then the times of the event are updated in iCal when iCal re-syncs, but I can't actually make the edit through iCal.
Any thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Thanks.

Greetings,
Questions:
What version of the Mac OS are you using (Apple > About this Mac)
If you go into a freshly created new user on your Mac and add your Google calendar to ical, does the same thing happen?
Cheers.

I changed my ICloud account ID but my new phone won't let me change it unless I put in my old password and turn off the find my phone feature. But the phone will not recognize my old password. Can someone help me?

New iPhones don't come setup with an Apple ID/Password. What you're experiencing is called Activation Lock, & unless you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to first activate this phone, you won't be able to reactivate it.
You can login to iCloud.com, from any computer, use Find My Phone to locate & erase the phone. But, you'll still need to know the original Apple ID/Password to reactivate it.

I want to load Firefox on my computer at home, which is not connected to the internet. I want to download Firefox to my flashdrive and then add it to my computer at home. When I try to download Firefox, it won't let me change the path of where it download

I want to download Firefox on a flashdrive so I can then download it to my home computer which is not connected to the internet. When I download Firefox, it won't let me change the path and so tries to download on a public computer, which isn't allowed. The reason I want it on my home computer is because I'm creating web pages and I want to view my html pages using a variety of browsers, including Firefox.

From another computer, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/, click "Free download" button, click "Save File" button, select your flash drive in "Save as" window. "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" file will be saved in your flash drive.
You just need to insert it in your new computer and double-click on "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" from Windows Explorer and follow instructions.

HT201210 my iPhone won't let me change my email when I go to update my apps... please help!!!

I made the mistake of changing my email, however because it was an email that wasn't activated anymore I thought it would be in my best interest to do so. However with a new email came a new password ... and it seems that my phone can't accept the fact that I changed my email, and won't let me change it - so my password is Always wrong, when I know it's not. How do I change my email? I am about the restore my phone to factory settings... but I'm hoping that is a last resort... please help!
much appreciated!

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help!

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

ICloud won't let me change my logon email address

I reverted to an old backup and now iCloud wants to use an old email address for my login. I can't logon as a result and I can't figure out how to change it. Game Center, iTunes, etc. are all using the right one. But iCloud won't let me change it. I have tried to delete the account, but it won't let me unless I logon first (which I can't do). I have tried restoring network settings, privacy settings, and content settings. I have also tried to revert back to a more recent backup, but I can't until I turn on the "Find my iPhone" function, which require me to login to iCloud. Help!

Speakers no longer working on Mac- weird symbol won't let me change volume

Hello
First off, I am not super computer savy!
My mac's internal speakers are no longer working. The volume control has faded in color, and when I try to press the volume buttons on the keyboard, it won't let me change the volume and there is a weird circle with a line through it. When I reboot the computer makes the reboot sound. I have tried tinkering around with the system preferences, but it is not muted, and it won't let me adjust the volume at all. This happened once before, the other day. Came out of nowhere and started working after about 10 minutes. Any suggestions! Much appreciated
Kate

Hi,
What output do you receive if you enter this command in the Terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app):
<pre>codesign -vvv Safari.app</pre>
If Safari has been modified, such as by a Safari enhancer program, this command should inform you.
If that is the case, try reinstalling the Safari package from the 10.5 installer DVD. This article relates to reinstalling Safari from the 10.4 DVD, but the principle is the same.

HT1918 My credit card was replaced and it won't let me change my CC info

I had to have my credit card replaced and my itunes account won't let me change my payment info for my debit card. When I finish typing all the numbers in, selecting the expiration date, and the security number I have tried to click done and it says "Please enter a valid security code". I have tried several times and it won't work time after time. How do I use my new debit card to pay on my itunes account? I can't download anything because it wants me to verify this information, which is now different, but it won't work. Can anyone help? Please and thank you!

Why won't it let you? Is there an error? More information is needed to assist you.

If you can't contact the owner, there isn't anything you can do.

Hello Brookeg189,
You may be able to use the password for your existing iCloud account to get past this dialog.
