Is it possible to make an iCal entry "blink"?

Is it possible to make an iCal entry "blink" -- that is, turn on and off to attract one's attention to it?

Roger:
Thanks for your prompt answer.  Even though it's not currently supported, I think it'd be a nice feature to have -- to "highlight" a very important to-do on one's calendar.

  • Is it possible to make a new entry in PSA.

    I found in Mange option, that the fields can be only updated or deleted. But, is there any possibility of making a new entry into it.

  • Is there any way to make an iCal entry private?

    It seems that it is  not possible to do so today, but will the new release for IOS make it possible?

    In our company we are working with Lotus Notes. When I enter new appointments in Notes on my computer, I am able to mark the entry as "private". In that way others looking into my calender can see that I am busy, but not what I am actually doing. I synchronize my Notes work calender to my iPhone 5, and that works very well. BUT - if I am out of the office, and I want to add a new "private" appointment on my iPhone, I cannot mark it as such.

  • How do I stop email alerts when I make an iCal entry?

    Every time I enter anything or change anything on my calendar, an email is sent to my wife with whom I share my calendar. She doesn't like the stream of emails, and I can't figure out how to make them go away. iCal is linked between my iMac, my iPhone and my iPad. And as I say, my wife shares her calendar, and I share mine. Does anyone know the secret formula for making these emails go away?

    You don't, this is a new security measure.

  • Is it possible to make an iCal appointment a ToDo item?

    I often map out my day by making "appointments" consisting of things I need to get done. Is there a way to make those To Do's, so that when they get done, I can still have a record of the task and when it was completed?

    Sorry slow to reply - I've been travelling.
    They're just copies of one another. The only real benefit I can see to having them in the main calendar is for setting-out your schedule over a day. Personally, I split tasks - e.g. "phone someone", "arrange meeting" into the ToDo's and give them a priority and due date. (Note: if you sort by the priority to start with, and subsequently by due date the list will retain the first sort order - so you will have them by priority in the individual dates.) I then move the activity into the calendar once it's scheduled - so the phone call will get its slot as will the meeting - which gives me a record of what I did and when as well as scheduling fixed-time activities.

  • Applescript: Make iCal entry from Numbers spreadsheet

    I use a spreadsheet to book all my photography shoots. The columns (name, phone, email, job date, job time, job address, job city, services, notes) are inputted each time a client calls to book a shoot.Once they are booked, I create a new iCal entry for the "job date" with the title name being a slimmed down version of the services (ie, the client might have wanted photos, virtual tours, and prints, but for on site work, given that I will not be printing anything, I leave out the print from the title). So the final title might look like this: "photos, virtual tours @ 3pm". I also add the full address including the city into the iCal "location" field (just below the title field). Then I'll make sure that the date and time correspond to the spreadsheet. Next, I'll set it to a calendar I have made for these bookings. Finally, I'll add the services and notes to the "note" field at the very bottom of the iCal entry. Then click DONE.
    Can someone help me write a simple script that would read a preselected row in the numbers spreadsheet and, once initiated, would create a new iCal entry? Thank you.

    Thanks John. Yes, so I edited it a bit and made a few minor changes (basically adding some info to the notes section in the iCal entry). I've posted the code below. A couple minor tweaks would make this perfect: First, I'd prefer to simply selected one of the cells on a given row and then run the script--at that point the script would know to copy that entire row. I know this is possible because I have a script that does this... I'm just not sure how to integrate that part of the script with yours. I've posted the script below yours.
    Second, I'd like iCal to open the newly added entry so I can have a quick review of it. Currently there's no indication that it's been added and, which iCal does appear to initiate (if it was closed down), it does however remain in the background.
    Your script (with some mods):
    set myCal to "TEST" -- calendar name
    set myLength to 2 -- hours
    set myItems to my cjmTIDs(the clipboard, tab)
    if (count of myItems) is less than 12 then return
    set jobDate to date (item 4 of myItems)
    set timeArray to my numberFromHourText(item 5 of myItems)
    set hours of jobDate to (item 1 of timeArray)
    set minutes of jobDate to (item 2 of timeArray)
    set jobEnd to jobDate + (myLength * hours)
    set myTitle to (item 1 of my cjmTIDs((item 11 of myItems), "prints"))
    set myNotes to "Client: " & (item 1 of myItems) & return & return & "Tel: " & (item 2 of myItems) & return & return & "Services: " & (item 11 of myItems) & return & return & "Notes: " & (item 12 of myItems)
    set myURL to (item 3 of myItems)
    set theAddress to (item 6 of myItems) & ", " & (item 7 of myItems) & ", " & (item 8 of myItems)
    tell application "iCal"
              set myNewEvent to make new event at the end of events of calendar myCal with properties {start date:jobDate, end date:jobEnd, summary:myTitle, location:theAddress, url:myURL, description:myNotes}
    end tell
    on cjmTIDs(theText, theDelim)
              set my text item delimiters to theDelim
              set myList to text items of theText
              set my text item delimiters to {""}
              return myList
    end cjmTIDs
    on numberFromHourText(theText)
              set theParts to my cjmTIDs(theText, ":")
              if (count of theParts) is 2 then
                        set myHours to item 1 of theParts as number
                        set myMins to ((characters 1 thru -4 of item 2 of theParts) as text) as number
              else
                        set myHours to ((characters 1 thru -4 of theText) as text) as number
                        set myMins to 0
              end if
              if character -2 of theText is "p" then set myHours to myHours + 12
              return {myHours, myMins}
    end numberFromHourText
    The other script that I mentioned (the one that knows to copy the entire row by just selecting a cell):

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • Possible to make a script for duplicating index entries?

    I would like to make things easier than they seem to be.
    I have several references (1:st level topics) already that are correct with page numbers and all that.
    Now, I would like to create a 1:st level topic, under which I put "duplicates" of these already indexed references and put them as 2:nd level topics, under the main, 1:st level, topic.
    Example.
    Let's say I have these references (1:st level topics) already, with correct page numbers and everything:
    Audi 4-6, 8
    BMW 7, 21-24
    Citroen 11, 12
    Mercedes 80
    Volkswagen 31-36
    Okay, these are perfectly indexed and all the pages are correct.
    Now, I would like to have these references as both 1:st level topics, and also as second level topic references under the main topic "Cars", like this:
    Cars 4-80
    Audi 4-6, 8
    BMW 7, 21-24
    Citroen 11, 12
    Mercedes 80
    Volkswagen 31-36
    My question is. Is it possible to achieve this by a script, so I can copy (duplicate) all these references and put them under the topic "Cars" too (preserving the 1:st level topics too of course), without having to go to each of the pages and create new topics all over again for every single finished topic, that I intend to put under the main topic "Cars"?
    Just to inform you, the above named 5 topics, are NOT only the topics I want to put under "Cars"... there are like a hundred :).
    Is it possible to make a script like this? Or do I have to do all the work ALL OVER again?

    Hmmm… This one copies all files which have 'flash' (could by x-shockwave-flash) string in mime type to /tmp/flash. Hope it will be helpful.
    for i in ~/.opera/cache4/* ; do file -i -F '' $i | grep flash | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | xargs cp -t /tmp/flash 2>/dev/null ; done
    UPDATE:
    Sorry, there was a little bug, I've just changed 'video' to 'flash' ('video' coundn't match 'x-shockwave-flash').

  • How to delete older iCal entries in 1 go?

    Is it possible to delete very old entries in one go? I am stuck with a ton of entries in 2004, 2005 , 2006 etc and want to get rid of them.

    Gerard,
    Just open iCal>Preferences...>Advanced>"Delete events XX days after they have passed."
    Make sure that you have used iCal>File>Export...>Export iCal Archive... before you change the event retention setting.

  • Could it possible to post Recurring Journal entry every day?

    Hi Experts
    Could it possible to post Recurring Journal entry every day?
    Please provide the configuration steps.
    Note: Defined Document type and number range,
    In FBD1 , when I try post the entry, showing only monthly intervals.
    Thanks in advance
    Srinath

    Hi Srinat,
    Please try with Run Date and Run Schedule, T.code OBC1 and OBC2:
    Run Schedule for Recurring Entries
    Plan which contains the required run dates for recurring entry original  documents. Using the run schedule, accounting documents can be created from recurring entry original documents at any intervals.
    Procedure
    Specify the run schedule by which the recurring entry original document is to be carried out. Alternatively, you can specify the run by specifying an interval in months and a run day.
    If you use a run schedule, you must have defined this previously in the  Financial Accounting configuration. In addition, make sure that the recurring  entry program is carried out as often as appropriate and with the suitable  parameters. For a run schedule with weekly dates, for example, the recurring entry program must also be started weekly.
    Regards

    is it possible to make an array like that?
    if it is, please tell me how to do it...
    thanks.
    ... I'm trying to make an emulator to emulate the simplest memory.

    Given your other posts, I'm assuming you mean in C, right?
    If so, the answer is yes, but specifically how will depend on a needed clarification of your question.  What you present doesn't really need to be a 2 dimensional array, just one: that looks like a simple list of memory addresses, right?
    At the simplest you can declare an array with two dimensions `iny myarray[2][3];` but to make the table you put up there you'd only need `int *myarray[3];`
    If you also wanted space allocated somewhere that each element of that list pointed to, you could allocate them separately:
    int *myarray[3];
    myarray[0] = (int *) malloc(sizeof(int));
    myarray[1] = (int *) malloc(sizeof(int));
    myarray[2] = (int *) malloc(sizeof(int));
    Obviously with many entries this should be in a loop.  Perhaps not as obviously, why would you not just malloc a larger block of memory to start with?
    What is the end goal?
    EDIT: actually, upon rereading your question, the mallocs are probably irrelevant.  `int *myarray[3]` will get you the array you are looking for.  Just realize that until you point those pointers to memory you 'own' you shouldn't assign to or read from them.

  • ICloud is randomly deleting iCal entries

    At several points over the past week, I thought my calendar appeared unusually "thinned out". Then last night I noticed an appointment I had been delaying for a while was nowhere to be seen.
    At first I thought it may be somewhere on my calendar, a week back or so.  This is because I had been rescheduling that appointment often, so I had moved it back, a day here and a day there, every week for the past month or so. I knew the exact title of the entry so I did a search for it.
    It was gone. Apparently deleted. I refreshed everything and even checked my iPad &amp; iPhone calendars for it Nothing...
    I blamed myself, re-created the entry, and moved on. At this time I also made several new entries and planned my week. Then today I went back to my calendar on my Mac, opened iCal, saw the appointments for today, that I entered last night, disappear before my very eyes. I then picked up my iPhone to view the calendar there, and they were gone.
    Next I picked up my iPad and turned off Wi-Fi as quickly as possible. Once Wi-Fi was disconnected and I was no longer online, I opened iCal and there were my appointments. There were five different instances of appointments scheduled last night that we're now deleted and gone. This is important because it rules out an accidental deletion. I took a screen grab to preserve my data, and went looking for answers. I found none.
    I'm freaked out. I live &amp; die by my iCal and I'm worried this has happened before where maybe I didn't notice.
    The only recent change I can possibly link to this iCloud synced iCal, is that I allowed an app called FlightTrack Pro to "Sync with iCloud". Which is relatively reassuring, only because it was a fairly new addition, therefore decreasing the likelihood that there were problems in the past. IF its this access causing the deletions.
    Any ideas?

    I had the exact same thing happen several times. I too independently concluded that it could only be the updated FlightTrack Pro App feature as you stated. It was the only new thing on my devices.  My Apple tech support expert told me to read your entry. I agree and disabled the 'SYnc with iCloud' feature. But I'm still allowing the 'SYnc with Calendar' option. But if the iCal entries that I just made disappear again, I will then disable that button on FT Pro. A major pain.

  • After iOS7 install my iCal entries do not show "created by or edited by". Is there a fix?

    After iOS7 install my iCal entries do not show "created by or edited by" also in Twitter I can't see number of retweets or favorites, it's become invisible. Any fixes?

    Well seeing as I'm running Lion on 2 GB of RAM, I can't see how upgrading the RAM will make that much of a difference.    If you are seeing launch times in minutes, it probably indicates your cache got corrupted by some third party cache cleaning software.  To see if some corruption can be fixed, first backup your data:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
    Then boot in safe mode, holding the shift key.  If issues persist in safe mode, run the hardware test that came with your Mac. 
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303081
    And if that is unrevealing, and booting into safe mode doesn't solve anything, and you are backed up, try repairing the directory by:
    1. Booting into the restore partition with command-R.
    2. Selecting the installer's Utilities menu.
    3. Selecting Disk Utility
    4. Selecting First Aid
    5. Selecting the boot partition.
    6. Click on repair disk (not repair permissions)
    Do NOT proceed with any install itself.  Just quit the install program
    If the disk is not able to be repaired, purchase Alsoft Disk Warrior, and boot of that to repair the directory.
    If it is able to be repaired, and the machine is still slow, I think you may have run into some RAM that is bad, and need to replace it, not add to it.
    If Disk Warrior can't repair the hard disk, replace the hard disk itself.

  • ICal entries to phone but no phone entries to iCal?

    Hi!
    Is it possible to copy all the iCal entries to my phone but nothing from the phone to iCal using iSync?
    I only edit the entries from my powebook, and use the phone calendar as a reminder. So if for example i erase an entry from iCal, or change it somehow, I don't want the old version to be copied back in from my phone when I use iSync.
    Nokia 6233 via bluetooth. Devices already set up and working fine.
    Thanks
    b.

    (i know this is old, but I was digging thru some isync/ical problems)
    What you could do is to sync the events you create on your phone into its own calendar. So create a calendar called "Phone" (or whatever). Then load up iSync. Under the Calendars section there is an option to "Put events created on phone into:" and you can select "Phone" calendar from there.
    *But*, you will need to sync the "Phone" calendar every time too (otherwise you can't select it with that option above). Still, for everyday use in iCal, you can just uncheck the "Phone" calendar and you won't see those events.
    HTH.

  • Is it possible to sync my iCal with my wife's on her macBook?  I use icloud.

    This is my first use of this so I'm not sure how to ask this.  Is it possible for my iCal entries to show up on my wife's iCal.  I am part of iCloud but she is not.
    Thanks.

    You can share an iCloud calendar, either privately and editable to another iCloud subscriber, or publicly and non-editable to anyone - they would be able to subscribe to it in their iCal application. Details here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479
    As long as she also has Lion 10.7.2 why not just get her to open an iCloud account? It's free and would be the best solution.
