Moving event with mouse in iCal gives me problems on Nokia N96
When I move an item (event) with mouse in iCal, and then iSync to my Nokia N96, I get multiple events in the Nokia Calendar. As if I copy-pasted the item too many times.
The multiple events are on the hours, on which I have dragged around the event.
Somebody having similar issues?
i've been having the same prob as u with my N96 however after i reverted back to factory settings and it's behaving for the time being (touchwood) i've read on posts here that people r having the same prob with their 2nd even 3rd phones so unless u r planning to change ur's for a diff model i'm not sure how helpful replacing the phone will be. I along with many others 'am sure r waiting for the new firmware to come out which hopefully will sort out most of the stability issues. i contacted Nokia and they advised me to wait till the firmware update as well.
i hope this helps.

When trying to approve the payment (via TAN code) Firefox does not continue to finalize it. Contact with the ING bank confirmed this problem popped up. They advised to use Internet Explorer instead. Indeed with Internet Explorer everything worked OK. ING suspects Firefox not accepting their website as a save site anymore. Can I define ING as a save website to overcome the problems and if yes where do I do this?
In the ING system as soon as you want to pay the system asks for a Tan code which is provided by SMS. You fill in the TAN code and press the continue button. Normally then the payment is made. Unfortunately this did not work anymore. It worked in the past. Other functionality on the ING sites worked OK!i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
do a true clean install
reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
exit disk utlity
at menu, choose install OSX
this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue -
Two objects moving around with mouse
I'm making a catching game and I only wanted the falling objects hit certain area on my catcher. My catcher is a girl with mouth open and I wanted the falling objects to hit only the mouth, not any other parts of her body like arms. So I made two objects, the full girl and just the mouth. How do I make the two objects (movieclips) move around with the mouse?
I tried to embed one object into another but it didn't work....
This is actionscript I wrote so far:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
public class CatchingSkittles extends MovieClip {
var girlmouthfront:GirlMouthFront;
var girlmouth:GirlMouth;
var nextObject:Timer;
var objects:Array = new Array();
var score:int = 0;
const speed:Number = 7.0;
public function CatchingSkittles() {
girlmouthfront = new GirlMouthFront();
girlmouthfront.y = 258.00;
addChild(girlmouthfront);
setNextObject();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveObjects);
public function setNextObject() {
nextObject = new Timer(1000+Math.random()*1000,1);
nextObject.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,newObject);
nextObject.start();
public function newObject(e:Event) {
var goodObjects:Array = ["Red","Purple","Yellow","Orange","Green"];
if (Math.random() < .5) {
var r:int = Math.floor(Math.random()*goodObjects.length);
var classRef:Class = getDefinitionByName(goodObjects[r]) as Class;
var newObject:MovieClip = new classRef();
newObject.typestr = "good";
} else {
r = Math.floor(Math.random()*goodObjects.length);
classRef = getDefinitionByName(goodObjects[r]) as Class;
newObject = new classRef();
newObject.typestr = "good";
newObject.x = Math.random()*500;
addChild(newObject);
objects.push(newObject);
setNextObject();
public function moveObjects(e:Event) {
for(var i:int=objects.length-1;i>=0;i--) {
objects[i].y += speed;
if (objects[i].y > 425) {
removeChild(objects[i]);
objects.splice(i,1);
if (objects[i].hitTestObject(girlmouthfront)) {
if (objects[i].typestr == "good") {
score += 5;
} else {
score += 5;
if (score < 0) score = 0;
scoreDisplay.text = "Score: "+score;
removeChild(objects[i]);
objects.splice(i,1);
girlmouthfront.x = mouseX;Never mind. I got everything to work. Thanks for your help! I changed my code to:
[code]
public class CatchingSkittles extends MovieClip {
var girlmouth:GirlMouth;
var girlmouthfront:GirlMouthFront;
var nextObject:Timer;
var objects:Array = new Array();
var score:int = 0;

public function CatchingSkittles() {
girlmouthfront = new GirlMouthFront();
girlmouthfront.y = -49.00;
girlmouth = new GirlMouth();
girlmouth.y = 308.55;
addChild(girlmouth);
girlmouth.addChild(girlmouthfront);
setNextObject();

Xfdesktop copies files into Thunar instead of moving them with mouse
Running Xfce4 with Thunar as the default file manager.
If I drag a file with the mouse out of a folder in Thunar, onto my desktop, it moves from the folder to the desktop (normal behaviour).
But if I drag a file from the desktop into a folder (either into the Thunar window or straight on-top of the folder icon), it COPIES instead of moves.
That is slightly strange behaviour. Is there something wrong somewhere?Found a quick workaround but it doesn't 'fix' the original question.
You can drag with a right-click and when you let go, a menu will pop up asking what you want to do (copy, move, link). -
Moving smth with mouse, file sticks to it?
Some times when i drag a file in Finder or any linkin Chrome, the object that I'm dragging can be stuck to the mouse.
I can move mouse, sometimes even use it, but objects won't be released from the mouse, the will be attached to the arrow for quite a long time.
I can only release objects from the mouse only mivong to the login window.
How to repair this? Please need help.Hi Matematic,

PB G4 15". Screen is moving around with mouse
My screen is doing something very weird. When I move my mouse, the screen moves with it slightly. The pixels are enlarged slightly and extend past the borders of the monitor.
I've checked monitor sizes...everything I can think of...restarted etc....still happening.
I've noticed the problem isn't there at initial startup but happens during startup as if there's a startup file that is inititiated during startup.
I also have a second monitor but the problem doesn't seem to be due to it's being installed.
Do I need to reinstall something? Clear preferences or something?
Stumped.With all respect for your knowledge: this happened to me without doing this.
I am a translator and left the house while my translation software was reorganising a .txt file. I had my iPod loading via usb.
When I got back, the battery had run out, so I plugged the electricity in, and then the iPod had crashed and the computer was in zoom mode. Totally weird.
The iPod got better after having been rebooted (switch on and off "hold" and press mode + menu, and then let it be for the night), but hte computer stayed with zoom activated until I found this thread.
Just to let others know -
Can I set up new events with leaps?
I've tried to set up some Maya calendars on iCal without success. My idea has been creating a group of calendars made up by "full day" events, in which every event represents a day, and every calendar, a count. The point is that in those calendars there are always leaps that are repeated every while, and as far as I've done, after a leap happens, I must re-start to create the same events. Am I clear?
Let's make an example. Imaging a calendar made up by four days (too short, but its for the example). I have created an iCal calendar with four events, and each one is set up to be repeated every four days; till this point it works as desired. But there's a leap of one day that happens every year, and I haven't been able to set it up; after erasing the event of that day, I must re-start to set up the future (four, for this example) events... Can't I set events with leaps on iCal?
I've also thought about another possible way to set a calendar like that. I found a table for finding out the correspondence between Gregorian calendar and a 260 days Maya Calendar, by making an adding. There's a number for each month of the year, and also every year has a number. You have to add the number of the month plus the number of the year plus the number of the day of the month, and only if it is higher than 260, you will need to subtract 260; thus you will know which of those 260 days is today (or another date).
So, if I can set an iCal calendar using something like "if today is 2nd =2, of June =151, 2011 = 7; add 2+151+7; and if answer is higher than 260 subtract 260; so day number is 160". I could also set some other calendars from that one, like "if answer is 109 or 110 or 111 or 112, then "codon" number is X. Any suggestion for creating an iCal calendar like that from other way, like Developer Apps? Or if not for creating an iCal Calendar, maybe for making a Widget?
Thanks for your attention.Am I not clear? I guess I got excited trying to be clear explaining details... But got dark!
And if I just say, Can I create an iCal Calendar event, set up to be repeated every monday, but after a specific date, be repeated weekly every tuesday? If not on iCal, another advice?
Thanks in advance! -
Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet? I don't need the calendar grid. I just want a list of events on a particular calendar, and their dates. Is that possible?
Not easily. Two possibilities:
1) If all the events have some common feature (eg you have included "XXX" in all the summaries), search for that feature then select and copy the found items at the bottom of the window. You can then paste them into TextEdit or a spreadsheet for printing
2) You could write an Applescript to locate the events and write them into a text file for printing.
The first one will probably give you what you want. -
ICal Randomly moving events - BAD
I have a good friend who just missed a flight by a day because iCal keeps automatically & randomly moving events on her iCal.
iCal is current and up to date. She doesn't use MobileMe to Sync. She does have an iPhone but Syncs manually only once in awhile. She's on Leopard.
She does fly around a lot and is constantly changing time-zones & thus she changes the time on her computer a lot.
"For instance - if I type something for Monday while in Chicago - and then when I go to Delhi - it is listed as Tuesday because of the time diff?
But I cannot imagine why it would not flop back when I returned to Chicago - and most of my travel during the i-cal changes has been domestic - which has no more than a 3 hour time change"I have exactly the same problem!!
It drives me nuts. I create an event, maybe move it around once or twice, then iCal keeps moving for me.
I try quitting and restarting, refreshing all calendars etc... but no luck. I also think iCal is not very good with it's integration with Exchange servers. I accept invitations to events but the status is not updated, etc. -
in ical I just added new calendars to a pre-existing calendar group, I can make events with these calendars, but not reminders, any suggestions?
Hi,
Lion has changed the way reminders (todos as was) work. They now seem to need to be in a seperate calendar.
In iCal open the File menu and select New Reminder List... and select where to put it.
Best wishes

How to cancel an edit to an iCal event with attendees
I keep running into this--
- Open an existing event with attendees
- Make an edit of some kind
- Change your mind
- Forget what changes you made and/or not wish to let everyone already invited know that iCal is sometimes as crappy as Outlook.
- Only have the options to keep editing or send/update (i.e. send the updates to everyone)
There are lots of discussions about this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10084804#10084804
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10929297#10929297
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10760583?messageID=10760583
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10471977?messageID=10471977&%3b#1047197 7
The concensus seems to be that you can't do it.
However this seems to work for me (when I'm desparate):
Quit iCal
Go to the "Library" folder in your home directory, then to the "Calendars" folder (i.e. ~/Library/Calendars)
Delete the files "Calendar Cache~" and "Calendar Cache~" (you don't need to empty your trash)
Reopen iCal. It will resync the calendar.
I've only tried this with Exchange calendar items that have already synced with the server, so your milage may vary. I suppose it's possible that you may lose data this way.
Hope this helps someone since it doesn't seem like Apple is going to fix this anytime soon!In step 3 above I said delete "Calendar Cache~" twice. I meant: delete "Calendar Cache" and also "Calendar Cache~" if that exists as well.

How do I get new events on my phone to sync with my desktop ical?
How do I get new events on my phone to sync with my desktop ical?
Hello juliebgerstel,
I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn about calendar syncing. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on how to do that:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

My iCal used to default to one hour when I posted an event with a start time and no end time. The user guide says it will default to one hour. Since I started using OS Lion, my calendar doesn't do that. Can anyone suggest a way for me to get the calendar to default to one hour again? Thanks.
Dana,
Here are some iCal data entry tips from iCal Help:
Enter a name, date, and time duration for the event, and then press Return.
For example, you can enter “Super Bowl Party Feb 5,” “Movie with Rebecca on Friday at 7pm,” “Soccer Game on Saturday from 11am-1pm,” or “Breakfast with Jon,” and then press Return.
If you don’t enter a time duration for the event, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour.
If you don’t enter any time information for the event, iCal makes the event an all-day event.
If you enter “breakfast” or “morning,” iCal sets the event to start at 9 a.m.
If you enter “lunch “ or “noon,” iCal sets the event to start at 12 p.m.
If you enter “dinner” or “night,” iCal sets the event to start at 8 p.m. -
Mouse dragged event with unexpected coordinates
I am dragging the mouse on a half circle from the middle left to the top middle. This results in mouse events with the coordinates form (10,90) ->(100,10)
Letting the mouse go and then dragging it further to the left, the coordinates in the of the event are similar than the starting point of the first mouse drag event.
Can anyone shed some light on this peculiar behavior?First of, I have to apologize for the example not being as minimalistic as it might be, but on the plus side, I know now why this happens, I just don't know how to work around it.

Here is how you can reproduce my effect:
Grab the black handle
Drag the mouse top and right until you approach the angle -90 (have an eye out on the console log)
Let the mouse go: the handle will snap to 90 degree
Grab the handle a second time and move further right
You will see that the angle printed out do not match what you expect.
Let the mouse go, the Handle snaps back to it's original position
As the rotation does not happen around the polygon's center, I have to use a Rotaion effect, which is applied. While I can drag the shape from the rotated location the dragging is always measured from its base position.
So what can I do to work around this?
final Rotate rotationTransform = new Rotate(currentRotation.doubleValue(), centerPoint.getX(), centerPoint.getY());
polygon.getTransforms().add(rotationTransform);
If worse comes to worst, I can use a circular handle covering everything, then I can rotate around its center, but I would like to avoid this.
