IMail To Do's creates new iCal Calendars, HELP please.

I have 2 IMAP email accounts that I use in Mail. Personal and Work. I have two Calendars that I use in iCal. Personal and Work. In Mail when I click To Do it automatically places the new To Do in my Work (junkie) To Do list and creates a new Calendar in iCal, which is fine BUT, this new calendar will not let me create new events (image below, new event is grey'd out) - ONLY new To Do's. When I create To Do's in iCal and select the correct Calendar they placed correctly in Mail. Note: that it does not matter which email account I am currently in it always places the To Do in Work (junkie) Here are my questions:
1. How do I set On My Mac as my default location for To Do's so it works perfectly with iCal?
or
2. How do I set iCal to allow me to create new events in the Calendars Mail automatically sets up.

For got to post this image as well. This is the error I receive when attempting to create an event with in the Calendar that Mail automatically sets up:

In mail "create new ical event" has stopped appearing in ical

Please help! I love clicking on data in email to bring up the "Create New iCal Event" box, and using it to put new events into my ical calendar. But recently when I "Create New iCal Event" from an email, and click "add to iCal" the window closes but the event doesn't show up in iCal. I can still add events by clicking on a calendar date in iCal and typing them in, but the link between Mail and iCal seems to be broken. How can I fix it?
Could this be related to how Firefox recently broke? Foxfire will not save bookmarks any more, either, I click on "Bookmarks," then "Bookmark this page". The window closes but the bookmark does not save. Also, the forward/backward browser arrows no longer work on Foxfire.

Could you be more specific? What happens (or fails to happen?)

To Brian Z: Your new iCal calendars announcement link is broken!

I couldn't find a way to IM/PM you on this system, so I thought I'd let you know that the link to the new iCal calendars in your announcement (http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=131) is broken (takes us to a generic apple page).

typehead,
Just use iCal>File>Export...for each one of your calendars on the G4, and then on the MBP use iCal>File>Import...for those .ics files.

The old Apple ID (presumably your dads) owns those songs and your new Apple ID does not. However, your dad can authorize your iD to use the songs by going to Store > Authorize This Computer from your iTunes menu and entering his Apple ID and password.

There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X.

Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store. Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays. You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor. If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected. I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

I am in tears! I have just lost all my music in my itunes and they are not located on my pc either as it's a new pc. Help PLEASE!

Did it used to be on that computer ? Your music library will only be where you put it, buying a new computer and installing iTunes on it will not put your library on it.
If you go in Edit > Preferences in your iTunes and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tickbox then your iTunes purchased music might show in the Music part of your library with cloud icons against them for redownloading - if you've moved countries since buying the music or if it's no longer in the store then it won't show for redownloading. And check to see if you've hidden any of your purchases : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
For your own music (e.g. copied from CDs) and what you can't redownload then do you still have your old computer with it on, or do you have a backup of your downloads/library, or is it on your phone ? If on your phone then there are some programs listed halfway down this page which should be able to copy it back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

ICal creates new untitled calendars

I came yesterday and found about twenty new calendars in the left hand column. Tried to delete them but they come back again. Trashed the 3 preference files in the Preferences area. No change. Trashed all of the files and folders under Application support. They're still there. And the files all show up again in the sources folder. I have saved my calendars that I want to keep, and if this were a program that I could just re-install I would. I'm updated to the 10.4.10. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Have you tried to reset your sync history? To do this:
Make a backup of your ical calendars (in iCal go to File> Backup Database...).
In iSync, open its preferences and click 'Reset Sync History'. Read the warning and continue.
When it is done, go to iCal again and delete the extra calendars.

Create new iCal event from contents of mail uses wrong date

I received an email today with an appointment using the date "6/3/2010 at 4PM". Being from the US, it is obvious to me that this meeting should occur on June 3, 2010, but when I attempt to create a new iCal event with this date it creates the event on March 6, 2010. Even more confusing is that when I choose "Show this date in iCal" it highlights March 7, 2010!
My question is:
Shouldn't the system default to a month/day/year date preference everywhere when I've selected US English in the internationalization preferences pane?

have a very similar question: is there somewhere an application where I can, when receiving an email, put it into iCal so that I am reminded about it in a week or something?

I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. my iPad recognisIes the change of id but on my MacBook Air, iCloud just keeps asking me for a password for the old email address/account. How can I get iCloud to recognise the new details? Help please!

I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. My iPad recognises the new detail in iTunes and iCloud but when I go into iCloud through my MacBook Air, it requests a password for the old email account which I can no longer use. There is no Option to be able to change this email/ID detail as I cannot get further than the password request. Can anyone help please - this is driving me insane?!

Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID? (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

TS4058 HELLO I WOULD LIKE TO CREATE AN IWEB but I cannot create a .mac account help please?

Hello,
I am having trouble trying with publishing my iWeb site however I am taking to log in screen for the .mac account and cannot log into it. I am not sure if I have one created. I created one through iChat I believe but it is still giving me an invalid account name or password after submitting the website to be published. Can anyone help please? I am currently using a Macbook 2008 series with Leopard 10.5 OS... thank you, Sahara

iChat and MobileMe are NOT the same thing. .Mac does not exist and has not now for several years - it is MobileMe instead, but unless you already have an account which is sounds as if you don't, then it is too late. You can't get one now.
If you want to publish your site, then you'll have to find a domain name registrar and register a domain name of choice and then purcahse hosting too and then you can publish by publishing to a local folder and then uploading using an ftp client such as Cyberduck.
Start by taking a look at http://www.godaddy.com or http://www.hostexcellence.com where you can register a domain name and purchase hosting.
MobileMe will no longer exist as of 30th June this year - it is going and iCloud has taken over, but will not host websites so everyone on this forum is having to search for alternative hosting.
Perhaps do a search of this forum for the relevant topics.

Having lots of problems with my firefox. It does not download when I click unless I restart the firefox many times. It does not open a new windows. Help please!

2 problems:
1. Files aren't downloaded when I click download. It only downloads after I restart the firefox many times.
2. New windows aren't being opened.
Help please. I've encountered the first problem since way back, but it wasn't this severe, now the downloading is very limited as I have to restart firefox many many times.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Some security software is also able to block new window.
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Create new iCal event as easily as Outlook?

Is there a way to create an event in iCal like Outlook? I may be missing something.
Outlook - click once on the day and type
iCal - click twice on the day, then click once on the event name, then type (I know there is a keyboard equivalent, but that is slower, also. Where does the focus go upon creating a new event?
Almost everything I do on a Mac is cleaner and more friendly, but iCal is frustrating. Also, to get Info, you can't just double-click on something. You have to navigate to Show Info on the contextual menu or go to the keyboard. In Outlook, you just double-click and it opens with focus on the most obvious place.
Are there some shortcuts I am missing? I have read the shortcuts menu item and it gives no hints.

Welcome to the discussions, whardy7.
Double-click where you want it (in Week view you should be able to get it right to 15 minutes) then type the Event name (focus will be in the field) then tab & type through the various fields. Have the Info panel open all the time, then simply click an event to see details.
