Is it possible to speed up (not eliminate) Lion iCal animations?

I want to speed up the month-to-month and year-to-year "page flip" animations in Mac OS X Lion's iCal. I do not want to eliminate the animation completely (by holding down the option key while selecting "Next Page" or "Previous Page" from the View menu, or by installing iCal Classic Page Flip).
Like all Mac OS X animations, I want to preserve this feature but also make it faster. These animations help my brain process that a transition is being made. However, half a second is too long to wait. At the other extreme, the absence of a transition yields a long wait: it takes my brain about two seconds to recognize that a change has been made to my screen and eyesight re-adjusted to it.
So, what .plist or other file controls the iCal page flip animation? If it's in com.apple.ical.plist, then it's not clearly labeled.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I wasn't really referring to controlling the amount of CPU each application might use.
What I meant was : If I have 2 MacBook Pros each with Intel Core 2 Duo 2,53GHz Processors, could I, by linking the computers using FW800, essentially create a virtual Quad Core 2.53GHz, thus reducing my export times in iMovie by a factor of nearly 2 (there will be lag)?
This would mean I wouldn't have to buy Turbo.264 HD, meaning that the quality of the output would be the best it could be.
Any suggestions?

Possible to speed up processor?

At the moment I cannot afford to buy a new gaming pc, and I am playing RIFT. At lowest setting it is running good except about every 10 min the game lags out for a few minutes, can almost set your watch buy it. Granted my comp is a bit old and outdated somewhat but it works for now. One solution that has been suggested is to try and speed up my processor. Here are my comps stats:
Windows 7 proffesional 64 bit
HP-Pavillion
AMD Phenom (tm) 9750 Quad Core 2.4ghz
8192 mb ram
Nvidia GeForce 9100
Would it be possible to speed up my processor to around 3 ghz? This is going beyond what i know about computers so any suggestion/directions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Again not knowing too much about this, are there only certain graphic cards that I could upgrade too that my computer can handle? Thanks for the info/help.
To answer the thread's original question: HP PCs have BIOS limitations that prevent overclocking. So your CPU can't be "speeded up".
Upgrading to most "Gaming" cards would mean that you would have to also upgrade your PSU.
This is a link to your PC support web page. Your PC's specifications. Your motherboard's specs
Your motherboard has one PCIe x16 slot available for a graphics card. It also has three PCIe x1 slots. They have low bandwidth and as such are not generally considered worthwhile to use for graphics card upgrades.
Your PSU is only 300W and therein the limitation. (most beasty video cards require a PC to have a PSU of at least 450 Watts)
There are cards by ATI and AMD that will enable you to play the games at far better specs than the onboard is limiting you to and not require a ($50.00 and higher ) PSU upgrade.

In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes?

In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes? In the past, I have used Outlook calendar and tasks and I was able to expand the windows which allowed me to put a great amount of details into either the notes section in events and tasks. It would be great to be able to do this in iCal and Notifications as well. I am using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8. Thank you very much for assistance with this.

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
Thanks

Hi,
I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
Best wishes

The Photos app doesn't currently support subfolders, it only has the one level of folder/album. You will either need to change your folder structure on your computer to be just one level, see if there is a third-party photo app in the store that copes with subfolders, or just make do. You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Is it still possible to attach sticky notes to a pdf file? Which Adobe product will enable this?

Is it still possible to attach sticky notes to a pdf file? Which Adobe product do I need to do this?

Both Acrobat and Reader 10/11 can, and previous versions of Reader can if the document is enabled to allow it. Mobile versions of Reader can too.

Horizontal scrolling is possible but this is not necessary

I built a website with adobe muse: www.yorensa.nl.
In the desktop version I noticed that horizontal scrolling is possible. This is not necessary because the site fits well in the screen.
If you scroll to the right, you'll only see the green browser color. I want to remove this scrolling facility.
How can I fix this?

Thanks for your help. I tried your solution. I changed the page width in 960px, but it didn't help. When I preview the site, the scrolling option is still there.

Possible that itunes will not update iphone OS while overseas?

hi, im in australia, and i was thinking about getting the iphone 3gs through the local australian network carrier here, however, a friend of mine said that whenever he returns to his home country with the contract phone that he obtained under a plan with yes optus (australian network carrier) he told me that it is not possible to update the phone or download any apps through the local itunes store in his home country. to confirm this rumour, i head down to a 3 (another australian network carrier) retail store to enquire about the plan while at the same time asking about the rumour, a sales person said that it might be possible that itunes will not update an australian phone with an non australian IP address...is this true? because purchasing an iphone and not being able to update it while i too return to my home country would render the phone quite pointless. could someone please get back to me and confirm if this is true and if there is any possible solutions without hacking the phone? ohh and by the way, the network carriers do legally unlock the phones for their customer when anyone needs to go overseas

If your phone is locked to the Australian network, then you can only roam in Malaysia. If it's unlocked, you can get a SIM card from a Malaysian provider.
iTunes, however, is country specific. You cannot access Australian iTunes from another country. For example, I'm in the US, and I can't access iTunes from other countries.
If your phone is unlocked, and you have a local SIM card, you should be able to access your local version of iTunes. No problem.

MB990 and SL - Fan speed is not increasing automatically

Hi Guys,
Two days ago I changed my macbook's hard drive to a bigger one and did a fresh install of Snow Leopard.
As soon as I installed the SL I noticed my computer was running hotter than the previous installation. Without doing anything, my macbook is reaching 75C (167F).. I have already checked the activity monitor and no process is using the CPU. Now I realized that the fan speed is not increasing automatically, it is always fixed at 2000rpm even if the temperature reaches 72C.. I have already tried a SMC reset but the problem persists..
Does anyone know a solution for this? The problem is the fan speed that is not increasing..
I'm having to use smcFanControl to control de fan speed manually. Before the fresh install I was using Snow Leopard updated from the Leopard and I was not facing this problem.
Thanks a lot!

Hi there... i have the same problem. my temperature gets up to 75C with just one window open in safari or google chrome. I have downloaded smc Fancontrol but ...its not enough. have u solved this problem yet? i'm going in to the Genius Bar tomorrow to see if they can help.

Is this possible via SQL or not ?

Hi There
I have a scenario. Am not sure if this is possible via SQL or not.
For Example Consider two tables
T1
product_id location_id stock
A 1 100
T2
product_id location_id aging_phase received_qty
A 1 1 20
A 1 2 30
A 1 3 70
Now in T1 there is actual stock that is 100, while aging wise if i see stock that is 20+30+70=120
What i want is, generate a SQL that should yield quantity equals stock in T1 but with AGING PHASE wise break up
Result should be like this :
product_id location_id aging_phase qty
A 1 1 20
A 1 2 30
A 1 3 50
It would be a great help if somehow it becomes possible. Anyone have some solution ?
Regards
Capri

BUG: Speed Dials not functioning correctly when Option button is last used

There is a bug in WebOS where Speed Dials do not work correctly. Holding down your speed dial favorites button will not place the call. This happens when the option key is used in launcher or card view before attempting speed dial.
For instance if your last character of a search you did 4 hours ago on your phone contained a series of numbers and you locked the option key to do so, (or even if you accidently hit the option key last and then did not need it) then an attempt to use speed dial "G" will not work, as your Pre/Pixi thinks you are holding down the "6" key and not the "G" key.
This needs to be remedied (for instance have the option key press clear out or unlocked as soon as the search is performed or cleared off of the phone) because there is no way to tell what state the option key is in before using a speed dial (not that I want to check and fiddle with it anyway).

The Z and B keys are the * and # keys. That is why they are not in the speed dial list. Hmmm... while it might be a "bug" at this time your the only person having this issue as far as I can tell. Since the issue moved to another phone it could be that its related to your Palm Profile. I unfortunately cannot replicate this issue but would like to test something. Can you do a Partial erase on your device and create a new Palm profile? This will see if the issue is still on the device.
If it is not then the issue is within your Palm Profile. If that is the case I can help you from there. Please post back when you tried this step.
