Little red circle on the dock icon

when you get new mail, Mail icon in the dock shows you the number of new messages.
I've got the same thing on the iCal icon. Where is this new meeting invite (I assume that's what it is) and how do I 'mark it as read'?
Is there any way to assign incoming invitations to one of my calendars. software says these items are read only, so I can't change anything.
when I get a cal invite in Mail, if I right click to Add to iCal, nothing happens. However, if I save the ics file and then do an import from iCal, I can get it in there, and I get to assign the calendar.
Any ideas?

To see the notifications list, click on the icon with a downward arrow on the lower left of iCal's main window. From here select an invite to view the options in the info pane. Invtes are only editable by the original creator. if you want to change one you should contact them (otherwise two people could make incompatable changes).
If you want editable versions of invites you are sent, you can just drag them from Mail into iCal's window without saving to file.
Best wishes

  • What's with the number in a red circle above the Facetime icon in the dock?

    What's with the number in a red circle above the FaceTime icon?  How do I get rid of it?

    I'm interested in this too, kongakut2012.  I can't see an envelope either.  I discovered that the number probably meant that I had a missed call, but when I cleared all recent calls (including the missed one) the number didn't go away.  So -- where's the envelope, please???

  • What is the little Red 1 on the iCal icon in the Doc?

    Uh...what is that little red 1 on the iCal icon in the doc when I open iCal...and how do I make it go away?
    I'm sure a ridiculously simple answer is headed my way...Thanks

    Moving Still,
    That means that you have an event invitation. Click on the envelope icon in the bottom left corner of the iCal window to display the invitation and choose what to do with it.

  • My App Store icon keeps displaying the little red circle with the number 4 and when it is opened to the updates tab there are no app to update. The page displays "All Apps Are Up to Date". This just recently started an occurs on both my iPad2 and iPhone5

    Why is this happening?

    I've seen reports of this happening when updates have been issued for apps that make them only work on iOS 7, users of earlier versions of iOS get notified that there are updates pending but when you actually go into the app store updates function it realises they don't apply to you because you are on an earlier version of iOS than what the new versions  require.
    In fact I just had a very similar experience on my iPod touch with iOS 6, in App Store app it flagged 7 app updates in red badge but when I clicked on the Updates button it only listed two  apps to update, once they'd been applied the outstanding updates badge disappeared.

  • There is a little red circle with a 2 in it over my iWeb icon

    Hi There,
    I have a rather strange problem and I am a bit embarrassed by it, because I don't know what it means. Anyway when I open iWeb 09, there is a little red circle with a little number 2 in it appears over the iWeb launch-bar icon.
    See this screenshot for a more detailed explanation: https://files.me.com/jasongtelford/otc2kg
    Can someone please tell me what this means because I have looked every where and I cant find out. I am beginning to think that there might be something wrong with my iWeb
    Also can you please tell me how to find whatever thing it is that it represents

    Thanks so much for telling me. I have now figured it out thanks to you LOL it was to do with the comments on my blog

  • I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen.  How can I make the sound alert work?

    I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen.  How can I make the sound alert work?

    I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S.  I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds.  After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?"  I didn't even know such a function existed.  Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
    To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual.  If it is green, turn it off.  You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
    This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu).  I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
    I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere.  Good luck!

  • What are the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of a movieclip in the actions panel?

    What do the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of the movieclips in the actions panel mean?  [Fig. 1]
    I'm working off this template in Flash CS3, that's using ActionScript 2.0 actually.
    I don't know whether or not that means anything in regards to the above inquire?
    Again, any help is appreciated.
    Fig.1

    OK, I think I might have figured this out.
    First. You guys keep insisting it's the Movie Explorer. It is not. It is the Actions Panel. You can see for yourself. Option+F9 opens the Actions Panel. Option+F3 opens the 'Explorer Window'. They are similar in appearance but they're not the same thing. They're just not.
    Second. I believe that the red dots on the movieclips, and also buttons, indicates when there is actionscript directly on the movieclip and/or button, as oppose to actionscript written on a frame within a movie clip and/or button.
    You really have to pay special attention to the top of the Actions Panel right next to where it says 'Actions' there's a dash '–' and then it says either 'Frame', 'Movie Clip', or 'Button'. This indicates exactly where you're about to write script to, or where you're reading the script from, so it's important to pay attention to this.
    That left side pane, in the Actions Panel, is divided by 'Scene' and by 'Symbol Definition(s)' and it's confusing because it's possible to have a symbol appear more than once depening on where the actionscript is located (i.e. on a frame or on the movie clip or button itself).
    For example if you have script on a FRAME within movie clip A, it'll appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, without a red box, but if you were to write script on movie clip A itself, it would still not have the red box on it in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, BUT it would appear again as movie clip A in the SCENE pane, and this time it would appear with the red box next to it, casue it now has actionscript directly on the movie clip itself. Wow, how confusing is that ha. 
    Keep in mind that if you made a movie clip B, within movie clip A, and if you placed actionscripts directly on movie clip B, NOT on a frame, then movie clip B would get a red box and appear UNDER movie clip A, within the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, NOT the SCENE pane. Ha.
    If you wrote script on a FRAME within movie clip B it would appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) again, yes a second time, twice, but WITHOUT a red box. Confused yet? ha.
    I don't know why Flash decided to do it this way. But it starts to make sense when you're actually viewing it, when it's in front of you. I think this is just for actionscript 2.0 (and for actionscript 1.0 presumably), but I don't think this is the case for ActionScript 3.0, because in as3 it's all instance name based, and targeting based, so there's no such thing as writing script directly onto a symbol of any kind, button, movie clip or otherwise.
    But yeah, that's it in a nutshell.
    Thanks for trying to help anyway.

  • Can't stop the dock icon bouncing when there is an "alert" from Thunderbird

    I posted this question on the MozillaZine forum, but no-one there answered so I thought I'd try here.
    I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 for my email. Is there a way to stop the dock icon bouncing when there is an "alert"? These happen relatively frequently in connection with my Yahoo account, and every time the icon bounces until I go to Thunderbird and click "ok" on the alert box. This is slowly driving me nuts. I have disabled the "animate dock icon" setting for new mail, and for my whole system when programs start or open, but it hasn't had any effect on the behaviour of the icon with regards to alerts.
    Thanks.

    Sorry, I am not trying to be difficult. I'm just lost.
    Hey, no problem, really... we're here trying to help & just need to find out what is needed to help!
    You really should right click on the whole Thubderbird folder and Archive it first, so we can go back if need be.
    Then, it appears that if you just recreate the account, with the name, email, server, and smtp, then everything comes back for that account... at least for global accounts.
    If you wish to hold off on this then just move the original .js back and start T-Bird again, then I can search for a way to edit the existing .js file, because for some reason, when you change your prefs back, it's not changing that file like it should.

  • OSX: FF running, but no windows open - clicking on the dock icon should open a new window.

    Running OSX 10.5.8, FF3.6.10. If I close all FF windows, but leave FF running, I should be able to open a new FF window by clicking the dock icon. This doesn't work - it just brings FF to the front, but no windows open. Any ideas how I can fix this?

    Is an external display connected and turned off? If not, open Mission Control. Do you see the window(s) in any other spaces?

  • When I plug my ipad in to charge its just coming up with a red bar in the charge icon and not charging

    When i plug in my ipad to charge its just coming up with a red bar in the recharge icon and not charging.... what does this mean and how can it be fixed... checked all cables, not broken

    First make sure you are using the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a good wall outlet. When the iPad battery is completely drained it may take some time on the charger before the iPad responds. Be patient and let the iPad remain on the charger for at least an hour then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is at 100%. If the iPad does not restart Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • I'm having problem with text boxes.  Whenever i hit the enter button to start a new line or paragraph, the cursor doesn't drop down to the next line.  Instead i get this little red + sign in the box.

    You are absolutely right.  Thought Enter meant Enter.  I was wrong.  Thank you for the help.
