Non-Busy Events in iCal Leopard

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a non busy event in iCal under Leopard?
I want to set up some informational multi day events, but do not want them to show as busy so that I can still have meetings scheduled during this period. I can find no options to mark an appointment or event as non-busy. The result is that if anyone tries to invite me to a meeting during one of these events I am automatically shown as busy and this ruins the availability window as well (blocks out my entire day).
This makes the shared calendars very limited in what we can use them for. An actual example, I want to show a change freeze in my calendar for three weeks and make it available to everyone. I put it in a shared calendar and I am unavailable for scheduled meetings for three weeks!
I appreciate that there are other ways to distribute the information but this is the best way for us, and it just does not work.
Thanks
Jason

One idea I have is for you to create a to do for each day and fill in the description you want in the note field - title of the to do would include the day as part of the header so your co-workers would know there is a "note" for each day. That way you do not show up as busy either on those days.
hope this helps.

  • Can't search event in iCal Leopard

    After upgraded to Leopard, the search function in iCal doesn't work. When typing a event title in the search field, the search pan appears with empty contents. Does anybody get the same result?

    Yup, I'm having the same problems over here.
    Entering the exact word in a timed event title that's right in front of me leads to a search results panel without that event listed. At all.
    Seriously, this is not good.
    It's bad enough they took away the info drawer, but stuff not coming up correctly when searching just compounds the crapiness of it all

  • Mail not sending Event to iCal after upgrade

    I did the same as everyone else and upgraded as soon as I saw the message to upgrade mobileme ical. Now when I try to create an event in iCal using a date in an email after clicking on "Add To iCal" the popup just freezes. I've quited and rebooted Mail as well as iCal and no luck.
    Anyone else have this issue? Better yet, did anyone else find out how to fix it?
    With 4 boys I rely on that convenience big time!

    The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
    Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
    Don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
    By all means be sure any 3rd party apps AND plug-ins are Snow Leopard compatible.
    An additional measure is to clear the existing font caches:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/139383/2009/03/fontcacheclear.html
    That said, 10.6.2 release notes have this to say about fonts:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3874
    Fonts fixes provided for:
    • an issue with font spacing
    • an issue in which some Fonts are missing
    • font duplication issues
    • an issue with some PostScript Type 1 fonts not working properly
    Good luck in any case.

  • Cannot invite attendees to iCal event in iCal 5.0 on new MacOSX lion?

    Hi there,
    Background: I have two gmail calendars snyced with the new iCal 5.0 on MacOsx Lion.
    Problem: When creating an event, I cannot add anybody to the event. The attendee field is just nonexistant. If I drag and drop a business card into iCal a new event is created with the person listed as attendee, but I cannot edit this event.
    Cry for help: This is weird - I need this to work. With those basics, there is no excuse for iCal . I cannot find anything relevant on the web. Did anybody experience something similar?
    Thanks for your support,
    B

    Got a solutions for you that worked for me because I have the same annoying problem.
    1. sign in to iclould on the website www.icloud.com/
    2. Go to your calendar
    3. You'll noticed some extra benefits of creating invents here instead of iCal app.  You can actually invite attendees!!  Also, when selecting a day for your event, it pops up a calendar and you just click on the day you want.  On iCal you have to manually type in the date numbers.
    Hope this was helpful.

  • Events in iCal disappearing after a month

    When I look back in iCal to previous month and beyond, all the events that I added (non-repeating events) are gone. I see the Calender events we subscribe to (jewish holidays), birthdays and repeating events but not the ones I added.
    I rely on my calendar to serve as my memory of past events so this is causing some issues. Any ideas how to stop this? My husband, who is much better at this stuff than me, has "tried everything" and has given up. Any ideas?

    In the preferences menu for iCal - not System Preferences - there is an "Advanced" tab. Click on that and you'll find a number of options having to do with hiding and deleting both events and ToDos and what you want iCal to do with a couple of other features. Make sure that the "Delete events _ days after they have passed" check box is empty. If it is checked, that's probably the source of your problem.

  • Imported events in iCal not syncing to iPhone

    Hello,
    I am having trouble getting events on from iCal to appear in my iPhone.  I am using iCloud to sync events.
    Here is the setup: I have a "work" calendar.  I added events to this calendar by exporting them from Outlook and importing them to iCal.  All the imported events appear in iCal and in the iCloud web interface.  However, when I sync with my iPhone, none of the imported events appear.  If I manually create an event in iCal, it appears on the phone and vice versa.
    If I turn off iCloud calendars on the phone and sync using iTunes and the USB cable, all the imported events appear normally too.  So it's just wireless syncing where somehow the phone doesn't download the events that were imported.
    Any suggestions?  I've tried turning iCloud off and on, deleting the calendars, and so on.
    I'm using iOs 5.1.1 and 10.8.2.

    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • How do you change the color of events on ICal.

    How do you changed the color of events on ICal? I was able to do this when I utilized ICal on the Snow Leopard system but can no longer do this with Lion.
    I know that I can select the Calanders list, but when I create a new "Calander" it doesn't allow me to choose a color and it doesn't show up in my list when working within an event.
    Thanks!

    Phoebe,
    Right-click on the new calendar and select "Get Info."
    Make sure that the ✓ mark is selected.
    Then choose the color from this pane:

  • Alerts for recurring events in iCal no longer display on iPhone after iOS5 upgrade

    That pretty much says it.  I have a daily meeting in my iCal, with two alarms set, one for 15 minutes before and one for 5 minutes before.  The alerts no longer display on my phone after the upgrade.  (They appear on my Mac no problem.)  Has anyone else seen this problem?  I have notifications turned on for iCal , set to Alerts.  Tried badges, tried turning notifications off then on, to no avail.  It doesn't display for recurring events that were in my calendar before the upgrade and for those created after the upgrade.  I don't seem to have a problem with regular i.e. non-recurring events.  Doesn't seem to matte also if it is the default calendar or a different calendar either.  (I tried Reminders and that worked fine, but I don't want to have type all of my recurring events in to iCal and then in to Reminders as well....)
    Thanks very much

    I'm having the same problem on my iMac (works on a different phone on my MBP). I restored the iphone and no dice. I'm also constantly getting a beach ball... Hope someone out there knows a workaround.

  • What business event executes when a Party is updated

    Hi,
    What business event executes when a Party is updated ?
    I tried with

  • Facing issues with Oracle11i and SOA 10g integration using Business events.

    Hi ,
    I have created a custom business event and have added subscription for the same.
    When i am triggering a business event, event is raised and the event data is getting inserted in the Queue (AQ).
    In SOA i have created an OracleApps adapter that is listening to the queue ,
    but the Oracleapps adapter is not getting started even though there are data in the queue.
    I checked the WSDL file of Oracleapps adapter and there i can see there is field Consumer with some code.
    I have added the code snippet from Oracleapps adapter wsdl.
    <pc:inbound_binding />
    <operation name="DEQUEUE">
    <jca:operation
    ActivationSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.apps.AppsWFBesQueueDequeueActivationSpec"
    QueueName="WF_BPEL_Q"
    DatabaseSchema="APPS"
    Consumer="ORA_88p3cd9o74pj2cpg6p13cdhp75"
    MessageSelectorRule="tab.user_data.event_name = &apos;xxc.oracle.apps.soa.demo&apos;" >
    </jca:operation>
    I have checked the connection factory set up at loaction (application-deployments\default\AppsAdapter/oc4j-ra.xml)too and found it is correct.
    code snippet from oc4j-ra.xml:-
         <connector-factory location="eis/Apps/Apps" connector-name="AppsAdapter">
              <config-property name="xADataSourceName" value="jdbc/EBSDataSource"/>
              <config-property name="dataSourceName" value=""/>
              <connection-pooling use="none">
              </connection-pooling>
              <security-config use="none">
              </security-config>
              <connectionfactory-interface>javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory</connectionfactory-interface>
         </connector-factory>.
    Can anyone tell me where consumer for an event/queue is being defined in the Oracle apps.
    Thanks & Regards
    Saurav Kumar

    Hi,
    Can you check the log file.u are getting any error.can you check wf_error table also u are getting any error.
    Can you check consumer in AQ tables.

    Could you please tell me what I am missing, as I cant find any documentation which says anything about these errors. I tried added 'SOA Runtime' library to both model and UI project but still it did not work out.

    This is the configuration of the global data source I created earlier when BE worked:
    EDNSource
    JNDI Name: jdbc/EDNSource
    URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl
    Driver Class Name: oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource
    user= DEV_SOAINFRA
    EDNDataSource
    JNDI Name: jdbc/EDNDataSource
    URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl
    Driver Class Name: oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource
    user= DEV_SOAINFRA
    So now to test local data sources, I deleted the above to data sources and created the following data source (non-XA) having configuration listed below:
    EDNSource
    JNDI Name: jdbc/EDNSource
    URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl
    Driver Class Name: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
    user= DEV_SOAINFRA
    This is what happens when I raise the business event with EDNSource data source using non-XA data source with class 'oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver'
    Target URL -- http://127.0.0.1:7101/BusinessEventsApplication-ViewController-context-root/faces/CreateEmployee.jspx
    <JmsBusinessEventBusMessages> <warnUsingOldDatasoureNames> Couldn't find the required datasources, but found them via the old names. Please update your datasource configurations.
    <JmsBusinessEventBusMessages> <warnUsingGlobalDatasourecForLocal> Local Tx Datasource not found, using XA datasource. Please update your configuration.
    Looks like ENDSource is old name of the driver and the new name is EDNDataSource, so created a new data source with name EDNDataSource (after deleting previous data source EDNSource) with the following configuration:
    EDNDataSource
    JNDI Name: jdbc/EDNDataSource
    URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl
    Driver Class Name: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
    user= DEV_SOAINFRA
    Target URL -- http://127.0.0.1:7101/BusinessEventsApplication-ViewController-context-root/faces/CreateEmployee.jspx
    <JmsBusinessEventBusMessages> <warnUsingGlobalDatasourecForLocal> Local Tx Datasource not found, using XA datasource. Please update your configuration.
    The warning still comes. Luckily, its just a warning and not an error. ;)

  • Business Events

    Hi,
    In R12, I could fine some seeded shipping related business events like 'oracle.apps.wsh.delivery.gen.shipconfirmed', 'oracle.apps.wsh.stop.gen.closed'. For testing purpose I am raising this event manually using 'Tesing Business Event'. It is showing that the event has been raised. But I like to know what action it has performed (like in which AQ, it has enqueued the data). I have checked in WF_DEFERRED, other AQ tables, but none of it is getting enqueued.
    Please let mw know where to sse the data.
    Primary requirement:
    According to the documentation, the above 2 events will get fired during the Shipconfirm process. So we have to identify what this event is doing. I believe somewhere Delivery ID is getting stored by this event. We need this information, as we have to build a outbound ship confirm interface on this.
    Thanks,
    Gowri.

    Additionally, take a look at the event subscriptions for the given event names. Are there any? if so what do they do?
    posting the question in WSH forum might also help.

  • Changing availability Status for event in iCal

    How do I change the availability status for an event in iCal Version 7.0 (1835.1)?

    Hi bubbakwb3,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Use these steps to change availability status for an event in Calendar:
    Calendar (Mavericks): Change your availability status for an event
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14998
    If the Calendar account you’re using displays your status for an event, you can change the status at any time and still be available to meet during an event.
    By default, Calendar sets your status as free during all-day events and as busy during all other events.
    Double-click the event, then click the event’s date.
    Choose an option from the Show As menu.
    Regards,
    Jeremy
