Is This a Viable Development for the Calendar Program?

Hello all,
I don't know about you, but as an individual myself I find myself mindlessly scrolling through dates on the calendar interface available on the right-hand side of the task bar copiously during looming periods of procrastination. After recreating bad habits
today, I had an idea; what if the calendar utilised the internet and incorporated key historic events on the calendar so if you clicked on a random date, for example 1st February, the calendar would tell you that on that day in 1884 the Oxford Dictionary debuted. 
Although it doesn't improve or develop Windows any further, I thought it could be a nifty little niche feature which falls in line with Microsoft's increased web incorporation with their products.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated and thank you for taking the time to read my post.

  • TS2198 ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working, then disappeared from the computer, from the desktop where I have been using it for the past two years, without trouble, then from the list of applications. . .

    ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

    I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

  • I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • What does this mean "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 5. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products.

    what does this mean "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 5. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products." I want to buy a photo book and that message keeps popping up.

    TD, LN - You guys make great points and I will take you at your word. Normally, I would not hesitate to update. I have a lot at stake here with a large vacation coming up with a great many new pictures anticipated. I don't know enough to understand what is meant by "verifying my library." Please give me some insight there and I will start the upgrade process tonight! Seriously, I have wanted to do this for some time, but have been scared away by reading too many situations on these forums.
    TD - you have a good sense of humor. I know all versions eventually need to be left to die away. Support is not eternal. I am sure I missed the announcement that certain versions of iPhoto would no longer offer the ability to conveniently make cards, calendars, books, etc. Like the original poster, I was surprised to learn my version did not offer that functionality only by requesting it and getting denied. Sort of frosted me at the time, as you can tell by my original reply here.
    If anyone can help me with the "verifying" question, I'll get off of here and let the original poster have his thread back!

  • Sun Certified Web Component Developer for the Java Platform, Enterprise Edi

    I would like to take up the exam "Sun Certified Web Component Developer for the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5". Could you please suggest me the right book for it?
    Does this one helps? ----Head first servlets and jsp
    Whihc version I have to choose?

    That book is a very decent start, but it does not cover everything you need to know. I would also get "core servlets 2nd edition", which you can download for free here:
    http://pdf.coreservlets.com
    I would skim these two books to see which topics they cover, then check it against the list of requirements you will find on this page:

    to see what you are missing.

  • I Need a Search Tool for the Calendar on iPod touch 2G

    I am trying to replace my old Tungsten E2 Palm Pilot with my iPod touch 2G -- I have my calendar and Mobile-Me set up and synced.
    The one main thing that I need is a search function for the calendar on my iPod touch 2G. That would turn the touch into a serious business tool - instead of a game/music toy.
    iCal has a great search function on my Macs - I want to be able to do that on the road with the touch.
    I want to be able to see the date that something happened - or when I was someplace - by searching for a name on the touch calendar. Ideally, it would work like the search function on iCal.
    Is there a way - or an APP- that will do that???

    I asked the Apple Store here in Toronto regarding the Search or Spotlight function on the iPod Touch, which is non-existent. This feature is SO useful specially when I need to look for a past or future appointment(s) or email, or info from the Address Book. Why is this feature not included in the iPod Touch software as a basic function? I used to own a Palm PDA and even at its basic version, it had a Search function. I can easily look for names, events, memos, etc. Before iPod Touch came, I hoped that a gadget such as the Palm would be available from Apple and when the iPod Touch came out, I was SOOOO glad it surpassed the features of a Palm but hoped it had the Search of Spotlight feature that is so useful on the iMac. Can you please include on your next iPod touch Software upgrade this Search or Spotlight feature?

    In addition to exploring the iPhone Dev Center, get +Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK+ by Mark and LaMarche. I spent several months trying to learn the SDK from the online docs and the sample code. Then I got Hillegass, which is one of the best ways to learn Cocoa, but didn't cover the iPhone. Some of the really important controls and controller structures were still a dark mystery. Then Mark and LaMarche came out last November and I couldn't help thinking, "If I had only had this to start with! Just get it. By the time you get to Chapter 9, I expect to see you answering a good number of the questions in this forum.

    Then restart your Mac.

  • This new update for the iphone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are haing trouble.

    This new update for the iPhone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5 or all. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are having trouble.

    iOS 6 can be loaded without problem on the 3GS.  Not all features are supported however.
    With respect to your reading people are having trouble, what did you expect to see on this technical support forum?  People don't write in to state they have a trouble-free upgrade.

  • I updated my Mac to Osxmaverickx and numbers to the newest version.  I change a numbers page on the mac.  Try to open this doc via icloud on the ipad 1.  Apple suggest me to update to the new numbers software.  This is not aviable for the ipad 1.

    I installed the new numbers on the imac.
    I updated a simple spreadsheat.
    Tried to open via icloud on ipad-
    Apple suggest to update to the new numbers.  This is not aviable for the ipad 1.
    1) Why Can Ipad 1 users not open icloud docs created by the new numbers on the mac ?
    2) What's the use of mobile devices when they don't work
    3) Can I open this docs via a google application ? 

    Drag... 
    Where did you get your copy of numbers on the mac?  You best go back to your old version of numbers on your mac. 
    Perhaps it's something to do with icloud. try dropbox.  Try running the spreadsheet through NeoOffice calc on the Mac.
    It's the world of software.  When you use vintage stuff, you need to get more creative or spend money on an upgrade. Apple is lacking in the legacy world.
    Now you be the time to come up with a backup plan for your mac.

    When someone trys to get into my iCloud on à different device, either then on my trusted devices, do i recieve then an email? i have à iMac iPad and iPhone  and i live in Holland, is this possible or only for the future?

    I want all my devices to be on a password related internet but the double nat on my TC makes weird things happen and slow.  I try bridge mode but the internet doesn't work.
    You building supplied internet is a cheap service that is without proper routable addresses..
    Therefore to use more than one IP you MUST have double NAT.. sorry there is no choice..
    Slow that is because you are sharing internet with every other person in the building.. get your own broadband service.
    Bridge will not work.. it cannot work because the building only has private IP addressing. And they only give you a single address.
    You can put a password on the wireless.. go to the airport utility and put in a password.
    Other than that I don't understand what password you expect.
    Can I get an explanation of what bridge mode is?
    No NAT.. means the TC becomes a dumb Wireless AP and switch.. works fine with a cable modem router.. or any broadband router but useless with your building system.
    Can I get suggestions on what I should do to use the TC as a wireless device to spread the same wireless device my apartment is broadcasting?
    Double NAT, and set your own wireless names. There is no alternative.. sorry.
