ICal: You must add your own card and email address in Contacts to be able to use mail alerts.

Problems with Mountain Lion. Have never had these problems previously. Have been a mac user since 1990.
iTunes no longer sends music to my airport express. NO FIX EXISTS !
Now iCal every time I want to send an email alert puts up this message: You must add your own card and email address in Contacts to be able to use mail alerts.
COME ON I HAVE DONE THIS OVER AND OVER TO NO RESULT.
MACINTOSH WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
UNHAPPY !

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work.

If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode.  Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal.

  • You must add your own card and email address in Contacts to be able to use mail alerts. mean

    I am trying to set up notifications in Calendars. I click "custom" and choose email. I get a message"You must add your own card and email address in Contacts to be able to use mail alerts." I have my own email address entered into Contacts, but don't know what this message intends, or how to deal with it. Please advise.
    Thanks

    Thank you Eric. So easy, when you know what you're doing.
    Thanks.

  • ICal: email alarm creation fails with error "You must add your own card..."

    When I try to set an email alarm in an event in iCal, it gives an error that "You must add your own card and email address in Address Book to be able to use mail alarms." But I do have such a card in my Address book. E.g., I can use the "Go to my card" command from the Card menu in Address Book. I even exported then deleted my entry and reimported it and marked it as my card again and still iCal will not set a mail alarm for any events. I've also tried setting other cards to be "my card" and iCal still hates me. Help! I need this feature and used this all the time before it broke early this week.
    Is there a way to rebuild my Address Book or something?

    OK, I finally fixed it. I told Dot Mac to replace all contacts on my computer with the synchronized stuff out on the cloud. I don't know what someone would do if they didn't synchronize -- maybe it wouldn't have happened to them. Anyhow, replacing my contacts with the stuff from Dot Mac or Mobile Me or whatever Apple is calling it now worked.

  • When you must start your own thread and why people shouldnt have to

    I just wanted to say that I get pretty annoyed when a Moderator is extremely rigid in their interpretation of forum rules.  Especially when it comes to telling people not to resurrect old topics.   
    If posting on old topics was bad, you should just close any topic with no responses for 30 days.  But you don't because that would be absurd.  Just because a topic has not had replies in 6 months does not mean the thread has run its course.  It may just be waiting for someone with more information, better information, or just better discussion.
    You know why it makes sense to jump on another thread?  Because most users likely dont stop by to help others on a regular basis, I certainly don't, and forum moderator make up the bulk of responses and are not always the most helpful.  But I get notified when someone posts to a thread I am already participating in.  So it brings me back.  So if you have the same issue, or more info about an older thread, by all means please post in it, to bring me and everyone else back with new information we may have learned.   You instantly get an audience of people that know something about your issue.  And it makes threads more complete, because so many times threads just fizzle out with no conclusion until someone resurrects them. 
    I just want to throw that out there, because this is an MSI user forum, and I am sure a lot of users would like to avoid repeating themselves, copying old info from older relevant threads into a new one.   There is a reason you tell people to search, because there is relevant info already there, and if their issue is the same, then they should be able to add to that thread discussion.
    Hijacking a thread is completely different, and should not be tolerated when your post is not relevant.  Resurrecting threads should not be discouraged if they still have travel left in them, because it brings people back and makes thread that you search for more complete.

    It is always best to offer individual personal assistance with each OP's concerns. A large percentage of the time, the people that hijack or re-open old threads are just plain lazy to open their own, and often don't even have the same mainboard or exact same hardware. Two identical boards and hardware configurations can run and perform different due to variances in the actual components. To make matters worse, some give absolutely no system component information on which to base a suggestion or recommendation on anyway.

    Rules are rules! What's the point of having them if not enforced? There is a distinct difference between 'rule' and 'guideline'.
    Typical example of a hijacker! Doesn't even list the CPU they have! If it was up to me, I would make signatures mandatory at the time of registration! Too much time back and forth is wasted asking for it. Then, a common response is that they don't think it's relevant! Say what? It wouldn't be asked for if it wasn't 'relevant' to provide a better troubleshooting strategy.

  • How can you add your own print and export buttons to the CR viewer toolbar?

    I posted a previous question that was asking how to get around the Information Bar in IE7 when you export and print.  Unfortunately the CR viewer file download code gets blocked by IE7 because the buttons don't directly download the file.  However, I have been able to get a regular button that calls the following code and streams the file to the client and IE7 does not block it. 
    Sub PrintPDF(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
         Dim crReportDocument as ReportDocument
         Dim crExportOptions as ExportOptions
         Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions as DiskFileDestinationOptions
         Dim Fname as string
         CrReportDocument = New ReportDocument()
         CrReportDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("estactionlist.rpt"))
         Fname = Server.MapPath("./") & Session.SessionID.ToString & ".pdf"
         CrDiskFileDestinationOptions = New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
         CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = FName
         CrExportOptions = crReportDocument.ExportOptions
         With crExportOptions
              .DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions
              .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
              .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
         End With
         CrReportDocument.Export()
         Response.ClearContent()
         Response.ClearHeaders()
                    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=test.pdf")
                    Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
                    Response.Charset = ""
                    Response.WriteFile(Fname)
                    Response.Flush()
         Response.Close()
         System.IO.File.Delete(Fname)
    End Sub
    So here are my questions?
    1. Is it possible to add a custom print control/icon to the CR viewer toolbar?
    2. If one is not possible, then is it possible to override the CR viewer print and export buttons with your own subroutines like the one above?
    I just want my page to look nice and hate to have print and export buttons outside of my CR viewer. 
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    It might be possible to replace the buttons in a windows app since you can retrieve the toolbar as a toolbar object in the winform viewer  ( ToolStrip toolBar = (ToolStrip) crystalReportViewer1.Controls[3]; )  however with a web app, it's a lot more difficult.
    The problem is that that you need to parse the Request string to try and figure out if the print / export button was clicked.  The code below makes the print button disappear if you click it, so you should be able to modify it to call your custom printing / exporting code instead  (You have to do this check in a postback)
            Dim I As Integer = 0
            If Request.Form.AllKeys.Length > 0 Then
                For I = 0 To Request.Form.AllKeys.Length - 1
                    Response.Write(Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString & "<BR>")
                    If Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString = "CrystalReportViewer2:_ctl2:_ctl2.x" Then
                        CrystalReportViewer2.HasPrintButton = False
                    End If
                Next
           End If

  • IPhone 4s contacts dissappear and email address on contacts change to numeric

    Hey guys i kept on getting some of my contacts dissappearing and the email address on some of my contacts change to a numeric number. My iphone was running on OS 5.1.1 before i updated to OS 6. My contatcs are synchronising to my email, i cloud and yahoo email. Please assist

    Okay
    Great
    But this means an iphone4s cannot call another iphone4s via a email address as like other devices like ipod or ipad.
    My questions remains still unanswered.
    Also while calling a person thru a phone, I switch to Facetime mode and I and the front party are connected with Wifi. Will we be charged an airtime for the call or not.
    Thanks for efforts but i m still not able to conclude to the answer

  • So basically passbook is card star but you can't add your own cards in manually?

    So if passbook is like news stand and you can only use cards that are in the App Store, then isn't it just like cardstar? Or Thin Wallet? Whut makes passbook SOOOOO special?

    Part of the reason for such stuttery playback performance lies with the limitations of the single SATA connection (channel) itself. You see, SATA is not full duplex, but only half-duplex. That means that a block of transfers going in one direction must be completed before a block of transfers can even begin in the opposite direction. Think of the SATA channel (single connection) as a single-lane stretch of highway with traffic signals at each end. What's worse, that single disk must also deal with the Windows pagefile, the media cache, previews and various other things all going on at the same time. As a result, the effective performance of that single disk can plummet by a factor of six: That single disk, after accounting for all of the tasks it must perform at the same time as video playback, is left with only about 32 MB/s of bandwidth available for Premiere Pro.
    In other words, that single disk is being severely overworked as it is.

  • IPhoto '09 - Adding your own latitude and longitude

    It appears that iPhoto 09 does not allow you to add your own Geo location (e.g.: latitude and longitude data). Is this correct?
    Are we limited to the list Apple provides?

    I downloaded a Exif viewer app to double check to, and it was there the 2nd time I exported and ticked locations, and text and keywords.
    I also just downloaded Picasa for MAC, and it doesnt support direct looking at Google Earth on the Mac yet, but the L/L is there in the pic data, but the keywords are not shown, in picasa
    So is this the only way to get it out then?
    can you make a new album with all your pics in, and then export all at once?
    Or can I take it that if I pick the picture direct from the iPhoto library in Finder and copy it , it will have the L/L and keyword data in?
    cheers

  • I have too many accounts and email address in ICloud. How can I delete them down to one?

    Some of my address' are synching others are not?  I would like to delete all extra accounts between my IPad, IMac and android phone??

    If you did not back up with iCloud after you deleted your contacts you can restore from your last back up. If you did not you can re-add the mail account you deleted and the contacts should be saved with that mail account. If your contact list is on your Mac, determine whate email address the contacts are backed up to and then add that email address to your iPad
