Is it possible or could it be possible to install a custom tab in the event repeat in the iCal?

Basically I work on a shift rota that repeats every 14 weeks.  When plotting my shifts being able to customise the repeat function could be a major advantage.

My husband works swing-shifts. Don't know if this may help you, but it may at least give you an idea or a work-around. His are 4 days on, 4 off, then 4 nights on, 4 off. He often works overtime shifts between or has shift trades, but at least if I have it mapped out on iCal, I get a general idea when he's working. So on my Mac, for instance, if I start at the beginning of September, I double-click to add an event, perhaps the beginning of a 4-day day shift.
*  Where it says "New Event," I type "Day" (or "Night" or "Off").
*  I check "all-day event" and all the other things that apply to his shift.
*  His rotation repeats every 16 days, so I customize it that way, and I repeat the customizations until I have all his days, nights and off-days covered.
Hope that remotely helps?

  • I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album.  The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

    I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album.  The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

    No.  When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library.  Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
    If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
    It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications.  You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

  • How can I split a project. In iPhoto one could choose that option from the Events dropdown on the toolbar

    How can I split a project? In iPhoto I could use the Event tab in the tool bar and there was an option to split the event but I can't find it on Apeture 3.

    Hi Wayne.  Aperture and iPhoto differ in many -- perhaps all -- ways.  They were designed (afaict) with radically different users in mind.
    To move images into a new Project, select them, then execute "File→New→Project" and check "Move selected items to new project".

  • Is it possible to call a BSP on custom Tab created in different BSP

    Hi Group,
       i created a custom tab: ZIBASE in CRMM_ACCOUNTS. where i have to integrate "CRMM_PRD_IOBJECT" BSP. is it possible to load this BSP whenever i click on ZIBASE Tab?
      1) IF it is please let me know the steps i need to take.
      2) If not let me know if i can atleast bring up this BSP: "CRMM_PRD_IOBJECT" in different window by clicking on a custom button in CRMM_ACCOUNTS.
    Please help me resolve this.
    Anu.

    Hi Anu,
      I try to explain clear:
    1 - Check if you have Navigation Link to IVIEW with application CRMM_PRD_IOBJECT.
    2 - If you havent it. Create one.
         - Create a method : SPRO->CRM->Layout of User Interface (People-Centric UI)->Navigation (URL Generation)->Define Method for Navigation.
         - Assing the method with your object type SPRO->CRM->Layout of User Interface (People-Centric UI)->Navigation (URL Generation)->Method for Object Type (Navigation)
    Assing the priority
    Assing implemention type: S Bsp external (Depending of your requirements)
    Assing application: CRMM_PRD_IOBJECT
    Assing view
    Assing ID Page/Service: Value of variable PCD of your iview
         - Assing the method with your crm roles. SPRO->CRM->Layout of User Interface (People-Centric UI)->Navigation (URL Generation)->Assign Object Method to Role
    3- Your ZIBASE tab has a event. With the name of your event go to SPRO->CRM->Layout of User Interface (People-Centric UI)->Application Element->Event
         - Assing the object, method and the field( with guid of your b.object(product)).

    I have tried most, if not all, of the different post's suggestions to no avail.
    The steps I have taken are as follows...
    1. Repaired .Net 4 (Both the client and extended)
    2. Uninstalled and reinstalled .Net Framework 4.0.
    3. Verified that the dll exists.
    4. Checked the applicationHost.config file. It contains the follow statement...
    <add name="ServiceModel-4.0" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHttpModule, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" preCondition="managedHandler,runtimeVersionv2.0"
    />
    5. Changed the following line in web.config to include the runtimeVersion...
    <add name="ServiceModel" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" preCondition="managedHandler,runtimeVersionv2.0" />
    6. Executed aspnet_regiis.exe -iru from the ...\Framework64\v4.0.30319 directory.
    7. Went to inetpub\history to use an applicationHost.config file from yesterday but it only has history from 9PM tonight. It probably had what I needed before I started changing it tonight.
    I still receive the same error message.
    Like I said everything was working yesterday. In fact I didn't hear or see any issue until after 1PM today.
    Any help would be very appreciated!

    Hi,
    Please confirm whether users can access their mailboxes from Outlook Web Access or not. We can do the following changes to have a try:
    1. In IIS > Application Pools, change the .NET Framework Version to v2.0 and restart IIS service.
    2. If it doesn’t work, explore the Default Web site.
    3. Renamed the web.config file to web.config.old
    4. Reset IIS using iisreset command to have a try.
    Thanks,

  • The events of the last month have suddenly disappeared.  I have opened these successfully several times during the last few weeks, but on opening them yesterday they weren't there any longer. No idea how this could have happened! Possible to retrieve ???v

    The events of the last month, with the photographs have suddenly disappeared from the iPhoto Library.  I have opened these successfully several times during the last few weeks, but on opening them yesterday they weren't there any longer. No idea how this could have happened! Is it possible to retrieve ???

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    u can check the below the material also
    what is BAPI?
    BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
    A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
    You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
    A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
    The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
    Reading instances of SAP business objects
    GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
    The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
    GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
    The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
    Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
    The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
    Change( )
    The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
    Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
    The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
    Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
    Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

    The steps to be followed are :
    1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
    [for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]
    2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
    2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
    -> Importing structures.
    eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
    -> Tables parameters:
    eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
    Note :
    Only specify fields that should be changed
    Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
    Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
    Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
    The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
    Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
    Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
    U = change
    D = delete
    I = add
    Example
    1. Delete the whole order
    2. Delete order items
    3. Change the order
    4. Change the configuration
    Notes
    1. Minimum entry:
    You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
    You must always enter key fields for changes.
    You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
    2. Commit control:
    The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
    For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
    Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
    Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
    Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
    my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
    You need to have com4abap.exe
    If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
    else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
    after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
    for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
    Invoke NEW DCOM session
    call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'

  • Could it be possible to realize resuming the "latest closedown" file?

    Could it be possible to realize resuming the "latest closedown" file in Photoshop?  It does not mean the "latest opening up file", it is like resuming the last closing page in Maxthon browser. It will be applicable to reopen and  edit the file which is closed by mistake when  editing dozens of files.

    What’s Maxthon browser?
    If File – Open Recent is insufficient for your needs I assume what you are asking for should be able to be achieved with Scripts and Script Events Manager.
    One could probably link a Script that writes the path of a file to a text-file to closing in the Manager.
    Another Script (to be triggered manually, possibly via Shortcut or Configurator Panel) could read out that text and open the respective file.
    Should you want to pursue that option you might want to ask in the Photoshop Scripting Forum.

    i lost my iphone 4 is there any possible i could trace the location of the phone?

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords, especially your Apple ID/iCloud password NOW!
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

  • Could my iMac possibly just have a temporary case of heat stroke?

    After working on my iMac off and on all day, I left it up and running when I stepped out of the room briefly and returned to find it had shut down. This particular Mac is networked to a PowerMac G4 and dual core iMac, both of which seem to be working fine .. . (as was this one, until this problem started).
    Hitting the power button did not get it up and running, although the chime seemed to work; however the screen remained black. It was hard to tell, but I also think the power switch was working a little erratically, because at various times it seemed like it required eiher a "forced quit" and restart, restart with the shift key on — or sometimes just a restart alone to ring the chimes. Bottom line though, was that while the on button sometimes lights up, the screen remains black.
    Unfortunately, my optical slot drive died about six months ago which is how I ended up with the dual core iMac — but so far have not used it much, since most of the software I normally rely on is not yet available for the new model. So instead, I have been switching back and forth from one computer to the next, as needed. However, because of the drive problem, I have been unable to boot from either the hardware diagnostic or system CDs to look for or repair possible errors.
    Although the two iMacs currently are connected via Firewire, I have not yet taken time to see if I can transfer and save the most important data — hoping to get all systems up and working properly first.
    More importantly, I'm also hoping one of you Mac wizards will tell me the problem is just weather-related, since the temp outdoor has been in the low to mid-90s all week and probably even hotter indoors. Is there any point in just letting things cool down overnight instead of repeatedly hitting the "on button" . . . or does it sound like my goose is really cooked?
    Anyone have another idea of how I can rescusitate this machine?

    Update:
    Sorry to report that while I waited in frustration for some sort of response, my iMac gave up and died.
    Since initially it looked like it might "only" be a power problem (not worth repairing, as the CD drive also pooped out about 6 months ago), I was arranging to have the drive reincarnated as an external drive, only to learn that the drive, too, was on its last legs. I have no way of knowing what's on the drive, so am still trying to decide if it's worth paying for data recovery. Luckily I think have backups of the most important doocs.

  • HT2509 Despite what this article states, Apple support told me not to try to remove any fonts as it could cause other possibly serious problems.  Is there a program which can be safely installed which will keep at the top of the font list those fonts whic

    An article in the New York Times yesterday told how to remove unwanted fonts from the Font Book.  I followed its instructions (the same as those on the webpage "support.apple.com/kb/ht2509") and was NOT successful in removing fonts.  Despite what the newspaper article and the web page stated, my attempts to remove fonts were unsuccessful.  I use perhaps 15-20 of the hundreds and hundreds of fonts, and deleting those I don't use would make choosing a font a lot faster.  I called support and was told not to try to remove any fonts which I myself had not added to the list(I have not added any) as doing so could cause significant problems elsewhere.  The support tech suggested that there might be independent software programs which would keep at the top of the list those fonts I have used, which sure would speed up the process of selecting a font.  Anyone know of such a program, or how to safely alter the font list Thanks.

    I just spoke again to tech support and this time an answer was provided that works!  Choose the font you want to use, drag it to the left, and a new "unnamed" folder will appear.  Continue to drag into that folder fonts you want to use.  You can click onto that folder to change its name.  Then when using font book merely click on that folder to open it and select the font wanted.  This tech rep also confirmed that you should NOT try to delete individual fonts as they are part of the basic operating system; he did confirm that the apple web page in parentheses above says otherwise, and will refer that to higher ups to see about removing or modifying that page.
