ICal won't stop taking the times out of my event names

I make my calendar events as follows: "10:00 doctor appt"
This makes it so I can see the time at a glance and means that I didn't forget to put a time. I also like feeling entirely in control of my calendar.
However, iCal keeps taking the time out and adding it to the state of the event, which I don't like. I don't mind it changing the state as long as it leaves the time in the text. I've tried to find a way to turn off this functionality, but I can't find a checkbox for it. I've been having to manually fix the text on each event once or twice before the time will stay, which is extremely annoying. Is there any way to get the text to stay that I've missed? If not, can Apple please include a fix for this in their next update? Thanks.

Betafly,
Generally speaking, I enter my events in the "Month" view.
Try entering the event by typing "doctor appt at 10:00" This is what is displayed when I use that entry method:
If the "Month" view window is too small the time will not display, so make sure that the window is large enough to display the time.
Also, open Calendar Help and look for "Add events to calendars." That will help explain various text entry techniques.

My MacBook Pro won't stop announcing the time in Japanese.

It was funny at first but now I want it to stop.

Hey TravisBickle,
Thanks for the question. Let’s check your Date & Time preferences, and disable the “Announce the time” option:
OS X Mavericks: Set date and time options
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14090
1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Date & Time.
2. Do any of the following:
- Click Date & Time, then choose to set date and time automatically or manually.
- Click Time Zone, then select your city.
- Click Clock, then make sure that “Show date and time in menu bar” is selected.
If you want to hear the time announced, select “Announce the time,” then choose from the pop-up menu how frequently you want the time announced. If you like, customize the voice.
Thanks,
Matt M.

My Mac won't stop speaking the time even though I have turned it off. What can I do?

I tried to turn off "Announce the time" in "Date & Time" preference pane in "System Preferences" on my Mac running 10.9.4. It is unchecked. Yet it is still speaking the time. What can I do to get it to stop? I have tried unchecking/checking closing System Preferences many times to no avail; it just keeps announcing the time. Any ideas?

Have you tried a restart?

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.

ICal won't let me the period over which an event will take place

I used to be able to enter a period over which an event would take place in iCal (desktop, not MobileMe) Since converting to Lion, this option is not available. There is no place to enter "from" and "to". Curiously, it is still possible to do so in iCal on MobileMe (via the web.), as it used to be on my desktop iCal (available via the dock). If anyone has any idea what's wrong, it would be appreciated.

Ferd II, you genius! It worked like a charm. I changed the region from the default Custom to Canada and iCal again works as it should.
But the bonus that came with your solutuion is even better.
Lion inexplicably changed every single file-modification date on my computer – including those on files I'd backed up on a hard drive.on backup drives – to January 5 2011. I spent days trying to figure out what was wrong. (An answer is still pending from Apple techs who were also unable to explain what happened.)
I was despairing of not being able to retrieve the orginal dates. Naturally, when I saw the dreaded January 5 2011 as the example in the system pref for Language and Text, I figured it was another instance of conversion.
But when I set the region to Canada, every one of the corrupted file dates, all those January 5 2011s, reverted to their proper modification dates! Amazing. The only one that didn't is the example/default in the Language and Text pref box.
I will let Apple's techies know that Ferd II solved the problem.
Thank you so much for your help and for sticking with the problem. I can now sync my iPhone without fear of infecting it.

HT3771 set up for printing with HP Designjet 500ps (Using Mac os 10.4.11 Printer is set up correctly showing on Mac-Updates installed but still won't print-Printer shows TIME OUT)

Set up for HP Designjet 500ps using Mac os x 10.4.11 Does any one know where to upload
Leopard os x 10.5 The printer will not print until I have the updated software. Ebay sell the
disc on their auction site, but only on disc not a download which is more convenient & faster
to get in a hurry.The software installed in the mac is working the way it should & showing up
as it would but it seems as though there is a driver that's needed. The results in any articals
that I have read suggest you don't need any drivers if you use HP EasyPhotoSoftware installed.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here, not "Apple Inc."
You might have better a response to your questions by posting them in the OS X 10.4 Tiger forums: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.4_tiger
or in the PowerMac forums:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_macof
This forum is for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Since that version won't run on your PowerMac, you're not likely to get many helpful responses here.
In any case, I'll try to offer some basic troubleshooting suggestions:
The PS designation on your printer denotes the PostScript printer language. Is your applications software and current printer driver configured to send PostScript (or HP-GL or HP-PCL or ???)
Does ANY application print anything (even gibberish) to the printer?
HP still shows a DesignJet 500 series raster driver for OS X 10.4 Tiger available to download here:

Does the printer time-out with every program, or just one? Have you tried another cable?
OS X 10.5 Leopard is no longer sold by Apple. It was never sold as a download, sold only on CD/DVD disc. Discs might still be available for purchase on eBay.
OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" is the oldest version of OS X still sold by Apple, and it too is available ONLY on CD/DVD for $20, but it will not run on your PowerMac, because Snow Leopard requires an Intel processor: os x snow leopard requirements
HP DesignJet 500 basic printer documentation is available as a pdf document and downloadable file here: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/manualsResults?sp4ts.oid=2 5301&ac.admitted=1391720518005.876444892.199480143
How is the printer connected to the computer? Are you using a USB interface, a Centronics 'Parallel' interface, or a JetDirect network interface?
It appears that the network timeout default for the printer was 30 minutes, but it can apparently be set in the range of anything 30-seconds and longer. The manual notes that some software does not send an 'end of job' postscript marker, so that is the reason for the time-out setting.

Why is it, every time I click send e-mail for instructions on resetting my security questions, I don't get them? I just want to play minecraft. I already put $15 in my balance and I can't even spend it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Either they're being sent to a different email address, or got caught in a spam filter, or something's wrong at Apple's end. If you can't find the email, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions, which can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.

Can the time out for loading a page be extended for busy sites?

(Error:)

This issue appears under two different Mozzila "Questions". Both appear to have the same OUTDATED, INEFFECTIVE ANSWERS. A lot of us are on WIN7 now and still have erratic network speeds due to cable multiplexing -- but have been trained to leave the registry alone.

Hello All:
What to thank everyone in advance for taking the time to respond to this post:
We just had a 600 laptop image delopoyment of macbook pro's and since we
were rushed to do this in one day…. i forgot to connect them to wireless before
creating an image. (worked from 5am ~ 5 am)
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO create a login script, where to place it,
and how to push out wireless setting so when a user logs in, it would automatically
bind them to a certain wireless?
We want to strictly do this through our Mac os x server snow leopard.
Please help as I am going back this Sunday to resolve this. I will have to
manually open up 600 laptops and add them to the wireless if i don't
find out a solution.

THANKS A BUNCH!
BUT!!!
can you help me create a script with this information.
You led me to the right direction. I will be using mac os x server and doing login script.
here is what i typed up so far but i don't know how to make the file. I know the command to run throgh shell but do not know how to make the file run so when i put it in login script it will place this wireless setting on all computers.
They are ging to be using this information:
/usr/sbin/networksetup -addpreferredwirelessnetworkatindex Airport atams 0 WPA2 [F3fd+mi7yV]]
/usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportnetwork Airport atams F3fd+mi7yV
-removepreferredwirelessnetwork Airport heritage
I did this on terminal and it worked. so how can i know deploy this to all laptops that are directly plugged in.

I reloaded iTunes 10 (64 bit) successfully, but the problem remains the same.
Any suggestions?

I looked in the folder from which I want to synch photos, but there is no such thing as an "ipod photo cache" in that folder, or sub-folders, as suggested in the link which you were nice enough to provide.
I have also tried removing photos from my iPad2 Photos App, and "iTunes has stopped working" shows up again as soon as I click on the "Synch photos from" button.

I use floating time zone with all of my iCal entries. But then the times of the entries do not print when printing month view. Is there a fix for this?

How to get rid of the "time out" when using DAQ AI in the example program

I try an example file called "AcqVoltageSamples_IntClkDigRef" (Visual C++ .NET). It works great. However, if the program has not recieved the data, it sent out a timeout message. How to get rid of the "time out"? I cannot find anywhere in the code. Is this a property I have to reset somewhere else?
Thank you,
Yajai.

Hello Yajai,
The example program will use the default value for timeout, 10 seconds. To change this, you will have to set the Stream.Timeout value. I inserted this function into the example and set it equal to -1, and the program will wait indefinitely for the trigger signal without timing out. Please see the attached image to how this was implemented.
I hope this help. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Sean C.

Form is taking the time to activate

Hi All,
I am working in Travel Expense adobe form. Already standard travel expense form was copied to Z form(Modified the standard layout) and using that form presently in my client. I have taken the copy of this Zform and doing the changes right now. Whenever I am activating the form it is taking almost 20-30mins.
Not only the form I have copied from Z-form, Z-form itself taking almost same time. But I again tried to copy the standard travel expense form to z-form as it is and activated. But it activated in less than 2mins.
Kindly share your ideas why the Z-Form which is presently using the client taking the time for activation ASAP.
Thanks.

Hello Phani,
I too had the same issue with the travel expense form previously. When I explored some sites, they told me that might be because of network issue and the other factor which causes is the number of elements present on the form.
if all the fields that are being declared in the interface are not being used, deactivate those elements which are not being used.
this will increase some performance.
Thanks,
Rakesh.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I have seen a lot of cases like your issue, and it's easy to solve.
First, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair permissions. Sometimes, a permission can be damaged and it makes that an application doesn't work properly.
If that doesn't work, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type ~/Library/Prefereces, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" and restart
