Is the making of a calendar really simple?

I have been reading this forum for a while and am beginning to think that one cannot simply drag and drop pix into a format and send off to Apple for a great calendar.
All the talk of converting to tiff or raw, then color compatibility has me confused. Is there a place where one can REALLY learn how to do the calendars, books? I don't want to waste my money or time if the results are generally poor.
Maybe I'm reading too much into this.
Thanks everyone.
Dave

David:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I've created a calendar each year for the last three years and it's really a drag and drop situation. There are some quirks that you can encounter and one is when clicking on a photo that's been inserted into a date box and you want to add a comment it ends up in the date box below the photo instead of on the photo as some would like.
As for color, all of my photos were sRGB or some other variation other than the Adobe RGB color profile. I found that if a photo is imported into iPhoto and it has no color profile assigned iPhoto will assign the profile used for the monitor. Weird but that's what I found. The materials in the calendars are of top quality IMO.
If you're shooting raw iPhoto creates a jpg version for viewing and editing when imported. It's that version that gets included into the pdf file that's created for uploading and printing.
Before ordering do a print to pdf of the calendar to for proofing and check that all text appears as expected.
Some issues have been encountered with books and the cover photos - some with the interior photos. I've had one hardcover and one softcover printed with iPhoto 7. The softcover was fine but the hardcover's dust jacket was dark. The interior photos were OK.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Problems syncing the new OS.2 calendar

Hi, I updated to OS.2 today and really like it so far. The addition of wifi email access, contacts, calendar, etc will come handy for those owners without a BB phone. I had a look at the calendar and have to say it is much more user friendly then the one on bridge or on the phone, so I would like to use the new one from now, but for some reason it didn't sync the entries from my bridge cal.
I use Gmail and just noticed that my phone (Storm 2) never actually synced my 'gmail calendar' entries to my gmail account for some reason. So I went into settings and found that the calendar sync was enabled, but in the calendar options under the gmail account the drop down menu for 'wifi sync' says 'no' and is faded, ergo cannot be switched on.
So I went back to just copy all my entries onto the new (not bridge) calendar and found that I had to log on with my gmail password again. I did that, started making entries on both my pc and my pb to see if it is syncing properly - it did. But then, half an hour or so later, all of a sudden my pb just dropped an error message saying 'incorrect gmail account password' and asked me to re-enter it. I did, but it didn't accept it. closed the calendar, opened it again, had to log on again, worked fine. Some time later, same problem again.
Anyone had similar problems? Any solutions, ideas yet?
to RIM: would it not be a lot easier if we only had one calendar that automatically synced with your BB if you install Bridge, instead of running 2 different ones?
Sorry for the long winded post, hope it's not confusing.

I gave up on POP or IMAP and use EAS instead.
remove current gmail account
then add new account
choose email, calendar, contacts
choose advanced setup
Choose Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
- Description, put what you want to describe it
- Leave domain blank
- User name will be your user name on gmail
- Use your email address for email address
- Use m.google.com for server address

The making of an online game

Hello all users of the sun forums.
I've always been facinated of games and have been wrestling with the idea about learning enough to be able to make a simple online game.
I got several questions, mainly to see if this is something realistic or if it's not doable as a lone wolf.
Would java be the right programming language for a online game? (As it can be run on many different platforms, its a good candidate).
- Any other languages that should be learned in addition to java?
- Specific books that would benefit for the making of a online game?
What database technology should I learn about that would be the most beneficial for a online game? (be it a small or a large game)
I know very little about servers and networking, so some points about things to read up on would be nice.
And something i've always wondered about - How powerful server do you need for a 100 player thirdperson strategy game?
I know this might take me some years to learn, but its fun to have something to fill my sparetime with.
And sorry for my bad english!

I've been looking through several job applications, but it's hard to put together a list of programming languages that would go along with Java. HTML, XHTML, PHP, CSS, JavaScript, .NET, C#, C++ etc..Well, HTML and CSS and such aren't really programming languages... I'd recommend that you concentrate on Java and then include other things as you go along (and realize that something might be useful to know).
My way of attacking this would be to make a roadmap of what I'm going to learn and attack it step by step, but it's hard when I don't know what I should include. Please recommend books as I find it easier to read, than tutorials on the net.I'm sure your way sounds very good, but it's impossible to do it like that. You can't decide in advance all the things that you want and are going to learn and then just go on and do it. Learning is a continuous process. I have about 10 years of Java behind me and some dabbling in other programming languages, but I still keep learning things. And I bet most of the people here with 20+ years in the industry (look at the people with tens of thousands of posts) will say the same thing.
I haven't read it myself, but Joshua Bloch's Effective Java has been recommended in several places. I hope you enjoy reading, because that's really the best way to learn and then keep up with the programming scene.

How do you correct the merging of contacts, calendars, etc with other members of your family on your account?

Wow!
I'm not going to be of much use regarding answers but I sure am going to watching this post like a hawk for any replies. My package is a slightly diluted version of this and I do find the BBtalk and data limits hard to make the most of as well.
If nothing else this totally highlights how complicated BT have managed to make their packages.
A cynic would assume that they are trying to catch us out at every step and for us to either be overspending or not really getting the moneys worth.

How to Resize the default date picker calendar

Hello Experts,
SAP CRM web UI shows a date picker as follows for populating fields of type date.
We noticed a strange issue that for months like January 2015 , the width of the date picker is lesser than what is shown for November 2014.
As you can see in the following snapshot , the dropdown icon of the second field is hidden when the month shown is November 2014.
This an issue because of the different sizes shown for different months , users would have to move mouse pointer when they to move to next months by clicking on the next arrow icon.
Any tricks to fix the width of the date picker will be really appreciated.

Hi Praveen,
You can try following tricks -
1. Go to SE80, search for BSP Application = 'thtmlb_styles'
2. under Pages with Flow Logic - we have one CSS file called "thtmlb_core_stand.css"
3. In this file try changing width of method call ' #thtmlb-calendar-container ' to 150px like shown below.
#thtmlb-calendar-container {
     display:                none;
     position:               absolute;
     width:                  150px;
hope it helps.
Best Regards,

Is there a way of making Maverick's Calendar application NOT to automatically show event times?

Is there a way of making Maverick's Calendar application NOT to automatically show event times?

I wonder if this Option (named Show Event Times in Mountain Lion) is simply not there anymore in Mavericks or if the Checkbox is simply missing and while come back in future Updates of Mavericks?
Is there a way to disable the "Show Event Times" maybe through the Terminal?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Did anyone configure the AddressBook (Contacts) and Calendar in Evolution?

I'm trying to configure the contacts in evolution and selecting and LDAP AddressBook witht he port 4032, which is the port for OID. As far as authentication, I tried both "E-mail Address" and "DN" but none worked!
Also, I don't know what URL should I put for the calendar! Anyone has an idea?

While sync with Link should work it is buggy and is an afterthought to the whole BB10 system. I recommend using an Outlook.com account, installing the Hotmail connector in Outlook, and then syncing the Outlook.com contacts and calendar to the BB10 device. I say Outlook.com because it uses Exchange Active Sync which is the most reliable sync to the device.
I used to sync with Link as well but the Outlook.com wireless sync really is far better.
As for the original question I don't know why it's not recognized. i see this reported on the forums all the time.

I am sure this is really simple?

We have just installed a new ASA5510 and I have a problem with I think Natting. Forgive me if its really simple but I have next to no experience of Cisco boxes.
I need to allow SMTP from an outside link. Its not the Internet.
The source IP is 172.24.52.50
The Firewall Interface is 172.24.52.4
The Inside Interface is 151.176.90.192
The SMTP server is 151.176.90.220
I need to NAT this link 'cos there are other smtp links that expect the 52.4 interface. The Packet Tracer within ASDM fails at the NAT stage and I notice that both Input and Output interfaces are both the 52.4 interface. Can anyone tell me what config I should have to NAT between the two boxes? I currently have a static one
Thanks, Ray

As you have only a single IP address coming to inside which you want to NAT, you should use static NAT for this. Use the "static" command to NAT the incoming IP address. Following link may help you

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts?

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts? I always want to have an alert 15 minutes before my appointments. I don't want to have to manually set it each time I make an appointment (I just moved to iphone from a windows mobile where this was basic stuff so I apologise if this is a noob question).

I have the same issue. I've searched these forums and found lots of people who have asked this same question, but nobody who has received an answer.
About a year ago, I migrated from a Windows PC and a Blackberry (both of which had very simple default alert options) to a MacBook Pro and an iPhone and have yet to find a solution on this forum or from any of my Apple-savvy friends. Very discouraging.

Help with a really simple SQL statement

Hi All
I'm relatively new to SQL and can't get my head round what I believe to be a really simple problem.
I have a table I want to query called locations. We use locations to mean groups and regions as well as people s ofr example:
TABLE: LOCATION
IDENTIFIER----------NAME-----------------PART_OF
101--------------------USER A---------------123
123--------------------GROUP A-------------124
etc
What I'm trying to write is a statement that will return the 'PART_OF' as the 'NAME' rather than the ID number if the ID = 101.
I was wondering if a nested select statement would do (select as select etc) but just can't get my head round it!
Any ideas?
TIA. Jake.

Hi Jake,
It's not clear what you are looking for. If USER A is just Part of GROUP A, a self-join will do:
SQL> with loc as (select 101 locid, 'USER A' locname, 123 part_of from dual
             union all
             select 123 locid, 'GROUP A' locname, 124 part_of from dual
             union all
             select 124 locid, 'REGION A' locname, null part_of from dual)
-- End of test data
select l1.locid, l1.locname, l2.locname part_of
from loc l1, loc l2
where l2.locid(+) = l1.part_of
     LOCID LOCNAME PART_OF
       101 USER A   GROUP A
       123 GROUP A REGION A
       124 REGION A
3 rows selected.But if you want USER A to be part of REGION A, then you need a hierarchia lquery:
SQL> with loc as (select 101 locid, 'USER A' locname, 123 part_of from dual
             union all
             select 123 locid, 'GROUP A' locname, 124 part_of from dual
             union all
             select 124 locid, 'REGION A' locname, null part_of from dual)
-- End of test data
select l1.locid, l1.locname, connect_by_root(locname) part_of
from loc l1
start with part_of is null
connect by prior locid = part_of
     LOCID LOCNAME PART_OF
       124 REGION A REGION A
       123 GROUP A REGION A
       101 USER A   REGION A
3 rows selected.Regards
Peter

After install snow leopard, ical does not show the events of some calendars

After I install snow leopard, ical does not show all the events, or simple does not show the events of some calendars that I created.
Can somebody solve this problem? Is there some update for ical?

Try the following:
1 - Go to your user account home folder, and open the library folder within it.
Look for the folder named "Calendars" and inside you might find a bunch of different folders with weird names. If they are there that means your calendars might not be lost.
2 - Look for the file "Calendar Cache". That file might be corrupted. Trash it. You may want to save a copy of it elsewhere. Once trashed, re-open ical. This should force it to rebuild its library based on those folders with weird names you saw. Your calendars should be back. Good luck

What is the best method for creating a simple DVD from X?

Now that I no longer have DVD SP on my system, I need to know the preferred method of creating a simple menu driven DVD. The DVD needs to have a simple (one click) since the local cable company needs that so it will trigger at a specified time. I shoot in 720p 60. The DVD is SD. I do have Toast, Compressor, and iDVD on the computer. Any input will really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
Tom

Thanks Luis.
Can't beleive I missed that. I am so used to using Compressor or Toast. This method works great. Thanks.
Best.

"There was an unexpected error with the request on subscribed calendars (error -1)"

I have been subscribing to my wife's work and home calendars since she started using an iPad mini late December. Suddenly, today, nothing will sync to it. If I try to update, the iCal app fails to pick her work calendar, saying "There was an unexpected error with the request on subscribed calendars (error -1)." Her iPad has the current iOS.
I tried re-sending the 'subscribe to my calendar' email (with a link) from her iPad, but trying to open that link results in the same message.
Our computers all run Mac OSX 10.6.8 and iCal 4.0.4.
I don't really know if my iPhone 4S is picking up her calendar info. I have never been able to see if/how an iOS retrieves cloud data when accessed.
Any help appreciated.

You will find that the calendar's URL bevins with ical.mac.com. The mac.com domain was one of MobileMe's website hosting domains, and with the closure of MobileMe none of its hosting works, including the CalDAV server which was used by a number of subscription calendars - mostly third-party but also some Apple ones: you would think, wouldn't you, that at least Apple would be aware of this. In fact a few days ago, following a similar query, I went through about twenty randomly chosen calendars in Apple's list, and only two of them worked. Most of the rest were ical.mac.com ones (there were a few with other servers which had also gone dead).
These calendars are no longer available, and won't be until the authors wake up and find somewhere else to host them.

Is the making of a calendar really simple?
