Is there an easy way to add general holidays and such into iCal?

I would like to have my iCal show me general holidays, thanksgiving, christmas, etc. I can't understand why there cannot be an option to show or not show various holidays. I realized a few weeks ago as I was trying to make some holiday travel plans on iCal, that I didn't have a way to import such dates.
Am I going to have to add these for each year?? Is there a better way?

Ahhhh, neber mind, I just saw the sticky on the top of this section which led me to all sorts of calendars. I've never heard of these before. Are these generally known?

  • Is there an easy way to add a location map to Pages?

    Hi,
    Using the latest version of Pages, is there an easy way to add a location map?
    Many Thanks
    Simon.

    Are you trying to copy an image from the Maps application? 
    If you are, the easiest way I have found to do this is by going to Edit>Copy in Maps and then pasting the image in the Pages document.

    Generally adding a common album artist will fix things.

  • Is there an easy way to import those misfortunate photos back into iphoto

    I moved my iphoto library to my external drive so that both my laptop and imac can use the synced photo library.
    ... but now my imac iphoto says I can not open my iphoto library, because is from a newer version of iphoto. And the application then closes.
    I figured out my newer laptop has a newer version of iphoto on it.
    Imac iphoto version is 6.0.6
    Laptop iphoto version s 7.1.5
    I Downloaded iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This created a new library but says a lot of my pictures are lost. I can search and find them on my external drive and reimport, but there are a lot of them! Any suggestions?
    I'd rather use the 6.0.6 on my imac than pay for an upgrade.
    I just won't use my laptop's iphoto.
    BUT, how can I get my 6.0.6 working again with all of my pictures in tact? Or is there an easy way to import those misfortunate photos back into iphoto painlessly?
    Any other solutions??
    Will Snow Leopard have the newest iPhoto included?
    Thank you!

    If you want to revert to iPhoto 6 then you have two choices:
    1. Restore from your back up
    or
    2. Create a new v6 Library and start over.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'.
    Go into the Old iPhoto Library (Right Click on the Library Icon and choose ‘Show Package Contents) and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the old iPhoto Library.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    “Snow Leopard” is an OS Upgrade. While we have no idea what will be included with it, on past experience, no, it will not include a new version of iPhoto.

  • Is there an easy way to add a sketch to Apple Email?

    I struggled with a new-to-me sketch program that I found on an Internet website, but I was finally able to copy and paste it to an Email message. It was supposed to have been easier than that, but that was the best I could do.I then realized that I had to add a few lines and notes. That got me to thinking. By now, you'd think that there would be an easy way to add graphic material to Apple Email. Is there?
    I have an iMac.

  • Is there an easy way to add a desktop shortcut for all users?

    Looking for an easy way to add a shortcut to an app for all users.

    William is correct. There are global system settings, and then there are personal user settings. Adding a shortcut to the desktop, or more commonly the Dock is a personal setting.
    Unless its in some kind of mass deployment scenario where you can create a pre programed image for large amounts of computers which has it already has your app shortcut setup, its easier to just do it one user at a time.

  • PSE10: Is there an easy way to add a vignette?

    Besides using Filter > Correct Camera Distortion, is there an easy way to put a vignette on a picture?  The method I just named doesn't give me the smooth, uniform fade that I need for creating collages, etc.  Thanks!

    Sure, just use any selection tool to make your selection.  Here, I simply used an elliptical selection:
    Then, use Select...Feather to feather the selection.  I used 10px.  Hit the Ctrl+J keys to copy that feathered selection to a new layer with a transparent background:

  • TS1363 is there an easier way to connect my ipods and phones so that my devices are recognised in my itunes?as i am not ver good with pcs..thanks

    Rather than creating your report directly from a SQL statement use the "Sql Query (PL/SQL Function Body returning Sql Query)" option and re-write your code in PL/SQL. PL/SQL gives you greater control and allows you to test the "null" values and add where clauses to your SQL query based on whether or not a value was selected in the SELECT list.
    For example, I have a report parameter screen that has a state drop down list that returns a value of -1 if no state is selected. I can, therefore, code:
    IF :P6_STATE_CODE != -1 THEN
    query := query + " WHERE state_code = ' ||
    :P6_STATE_CODE ;
    END IF ;
    I have a more complete example if you would like to send me an email ([email protected])

  • Mark Clip - X shortcut doesn't work for some reason. Is there an easy way to mark a clip without going into Source Monitor?

    Hi guys,
    I'm using Premiere Pro CC on Windows 8.1 Pro. The Mark Clip function - X shortcut key by default doesn't seem to work.
    I know that if I go into Source Monitor I can mark the clip in there but WHY ? In the old day of CS5.5 I can mark a clip (not timeline) as quick indicator for frame / sound issue of a particular clip. One key press and I'm done.
    So, is there an easy way to mark a clip in Premiere Pro CC without going into Source Monitor?
    Cheers!

    Hi Mark and everyone looking to find the answer,
    After experimenting, I figured out the answer. This applies for the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC (as of 01-Sep-2014) ver 8.0.1 (build 21)
    Context: You want to add a marker to a specific clip instead of a sequence but you can't seem to do it.
    Why?
        - X key (or Mark Clip as Premiere Pro CC calls it) doesn't add a Marker to a clip. What it does is using the clip you are selecting as reference for Mark In / Out of your current sequence.
        - M key (or Add Marker as Premiere Pro CC calls it) will add a marker to your clip.
       HOWEVER:
        If you are not expanding your clip to see the wave form or clip thumbnail, the marker on the clip will not show up. It used to show up in CS5.5!!!!!! Why not in CC!!!?!
        It will only add the marker to the clip you are selecting. Track targeting does not matter.
        If you don't select any clip, it will add a marker to your sequence.
    Example: (This is the same clip and sequence)
    How it looks with marker added.
      Track targeting does not matter - reference number 1
      Current selected clip is is the key - reference number 2
        2.  How it looks with marker added but you can't see
        3.  How it looks if you don't select the clip and hit M
    Hope this help!
    Cheers!

  • Is there an easy way to switch between ehternet and wifi connection without having to disconnect the ethernet cable?

    Hi All
    Was wondering if there is an easy way to switch between ethernet and wifi connection on Apple TV without having to disconnect the ethernet cable. The reason I ask is that I find it quicker to use my ethernet connection via a Netgear Powerline Home Theatre Set-up to stream Trailers and Movies on the Apple TV, however this is no good when connecting directly to my Mac to stream music or TV shows in iTunes, so revert to the wifi connection that I created on my Time Capsule to do this.
    Would be handy if Apple TV had a menu option where you could manually change the connection type depending on what you were doing, as per above scenario.
    Cheers

  • Why isn't there an easy way to add a photo to photoStream from the finder?

    Apple makes it easy to share your photo with Twitter, FB, Flickr, etc. Why not Photo Stream? As far as I know, the only way to add a photo to photo stream is to open iPhoto and then add the photo to that.  This seems to be a very poor way of quickly adding a photo.

    If you have a suggestion make it here: Apple Feedback. This is the wrong venue.

  • Is there an easy way to copy a clip and stack it on top of the clip I copied it from?

    I know I can copy it at the end of the sequence and then move it on top of the clip I want, but am thinking there MUST be an easier way.
    Thanks

    Yes.
    Double click the clip in the Timeline and it opens in the Viewer.
    Drag the Viewer clip to the Supeimpose area of the Canvas.
    Make sure the Playhead is on the clip you require before starting.

  • Is there an easy way to add a logo to idvd 7 template?

    Hi,
    I have read the mac week article about replacing the watermark with a logo. I have been downloading the xcode 3.2 for the past 8 hours.... am dubious as to whether it will work. I really like one DVD template and want to use it but add the clients logo. Does anyone know a workaround?
    Thanks!!

    Hi again,
    I looked at that link.. I think its to add a watermark to a video.. Adding the watermark to the IDVD template proved trickier/more time consuming- than adding a logo to an existing video.. But I think this artilce below was very useful, if anyone ever wants to do it again.. and can spare 2 days.
