Numbers -iCal. Wan t to set up Roman Calen dar

I'd like to set up the roman Kalends on my ical. As the Latin names for the days are pretty much repetitive, the best way to set up a year's worth is to create the entries in Numbers (or excel) and port them in to iCal.
For example:
Column 1 column 2 column 3 column 4 column 5
3/19/09 ante diem quartus decimus Kalendas Apriles
3/20/09 ante diem tertius decimus Kalendas Apriles
3/21/09 ante diem duodecimus Kalendas Apriles
Etc...
I want to create an all day entry of a contacted columns 2 - 5.
I'm running 10.4.11, iCal 2.0.5 and iWork '08.
Thank you very much.
p.s. I have never written and Apple Script.

This has nothing to do with Paragraph Style(s).
I have placed an auto page number (at 500pt) on the master to represent your page numbers...study this screen shot.
You might want a new Master Page dependent on your document, but it is not necessary, as per my example.

In iCal how do i set an event every 3 months

In iCal how do i set an event every 3 months.

Sk8trdad,
I presume that your question relates to the Calendar App on the iPad.
You have to use the "repeat>Custom" setting on the Desktop version of iCal.

Issue with WAN Miniport when setting up VPN server in Windows 7

I tried making my computer a VPN server by setting up a "New incoming connection" under network connections within Network and sharing center. Originally, it did complete but did not show any WAN Miniport connections. I could not connect to this VPN
with my other computer.
What I've done so far:
I "updated" all the WAN Miniports in Device Manager to "MAC Bridge Miniport" driver (since I could not uninstall them as they were) and then proceeded to uninstall all the WAN miniports. I rebooted my computer and then the device
drivers tried to install automatically but only a few installed successfully.
I then downloaded the latest WDK (8.1) and tried re-installing all the WAN Miniports via devcon.exe with the command "devcon.exe install c:\windows\inf\netrasa.inf MS_PptpMiniport". It said that the node was created but it failed to install the
drivers. I rebooted my computer but some of these mini ports appeared as "Unknown" in Device Manager while others appeared with their names but with numbers attached since I've attempted this a few times, Ex: "WAN Miniport (IP) #3".
from my understanding, I need at least WAN Miniport pptp to be working for VPN to work. I don't know what to do at this point. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How to get WAN DNS when set up Airport Extreme on Windows

I am trying to set up my home network by using Airport Extreme Base to connect DSL via PPPoE. Here's what I did:
1. Update firmware to latest version: V5.7;
2. Install Airport Setup 4.2;
3. Run Setup Assistant, enter the right DSL account and password by using PPPoE, also setup base name, network name and base password, and DSL service provider's DNS ip, backup DNS ip;
4. Everything gets updated into base station, restarted, local wireless network set up successfully, but can not connect to WAN;
5. Tried ipconfig/all, find DNS is 192.168.1.1;
6. Tried to dial DSL from computer via PPPoE directly, validated account and password is ok, and it is working well to get me to internet.
Can someone here help me solve my issue?

I figure out answer by myself now. I would like to share it with you all here: firmware V5.7 has some major bug causes the problem. When I update my base station with firmware V5.5.1, it works right away.

ICal Delegates are all set to "events affect availability"

I am using iCal to view my personal calendars and also several "delegates" calendars. These calendars were added using the "Accounts I can access" under the "Delegation" tab of the account pane. This is all working fine, except for one major problem. All the calendars that I can view but aren't my own have the "events affect availability" box checked and it cannot be unchecked. This means that when I try to schedule an event it looks like I am busier than I really am. For instance, one of the calendars is for a conference room, so I look busy whenever the room is busy. Also, I look busy whenever my wife is busy. I can tell iCal to not use my personal calendars when determining my free/busy time, but I am forced to be busy whenever someone else is busy. This seems very backwards to me. Can this be fixed or is it a bug?
Some calendars are through exchange and others are through google. They all have this problem.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Events for calendars that have that option off should not affect availability.
For a user having this problem, can you use Safari to browse to the following URL:
https://<<yourserver>>:8443/calendars/users/<<uid>>/inbox/
Substituting your server's hostname for <<yourserver>> and the user id for <<<uid>>.
You will be prompted to authenticate - do so as that user.
In the resulting page of information search for 'calendar-free-busy-set'. Attach the property value to your reply.
Then get the user to toggle the availability option for the calendar. Refresh the Safari webpage and attach the new property value.

Well you are facing this problem due to some kind of Interference between your Wireless Connectiona and your Computer,thats why you loss the signal strength on your Computer.
First try to upgrade the drivers of your wireless Card on your Computer.
Login to the Routers GUI, For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...and then click on Save Settings...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

NUMBERS- variance difference- how to set a function

I am sooo close- I want to compare the percent difference between two columns- to compare the total in column B to total in column C-- to establisha percent of difference be it less than or greater---help

What's missing from your description is which column holds the base amount for the calculation. I;ll assume the original amount is in B, the changes amount is in C, and you want to know the percentage change that has occured from B.
In column D, enter =(C-B)/B
Format the result as a percent, with the number of places after the decimal that you require.
Note: The result in row 7 looks odd, but is correct to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Re-write numerical page numbers to roman numerals for an introduction?

Hi there everybody,
I've been attempting (for some considerable time!) to typeset and format a book. The book needs to have roman numerals running from the first title page (which is in reality left blank through using a secondary master page without page numbers). However, I didn't realise I would need to use roman numerals in the introduction, and instead started the page numbers from the first title page of the introduction. Therefore, my pages that are numbered by roman numerals (copyright page etc) stop at this point and in the introduction become numbers.
I need to change it so it is roman numerals up until the first page of the actual book, all through the introduction, but when I try to change it in the Numbers and Sections tab, it tells me that i've already used the numbers i've typed in.
Basically I would like to know how to take off the first set of roman numeral page numbers and start again??
I'm very confused!! Help would be MUCH appreciated.
Lucy

How do I export Dates from Numbers to iCal?

I'm building a spread sheet in *Numbers '08* with +expiration dates+ for many of the line items. I would like to export those dates to iCal so that iCal can _show/send me a reminder on those dates_. I've read that some people may be using a program called Bento to interface between Numbers & iCal. Seems like one should not have to buy an entire software program to export a simple date from Numbers to ICal -- both being native Apple programs.
Perhaps there is a way to get Numbers to send date reminders without exporting to iCal?
Any feedback is much appreciated.

Here is the script doing the trick with Numbers '09.
--[SCRIPT createical_events_fromNumbers'09]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : createical_events_fromNumbers'09.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner les cellules d'une table de Numbers qui décrivent des 'events'
La table est censée contenir:
une colonne avec la description des événements
une colonne avec les date_heures de début
une colonne avec les date_heures de fin
Éditer la property 'theCalendar' en fonction du nom du calendrier à alimenter.
menu Scripts > Numbers > createical_events_fromNumbers'09
Le script crée les évènements dans iCal
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
--=====
Save the script as a Script: createical_events_fromNumbers'09.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
In a table from Numbers '09,
select cells describing 'events'.
This table is supposed to embed :
a column storing events descriptions
a column storind start datetime
a column storing end datetime.
Edit the instruction defining the calendar name to fit your needs.
menu Scripts > Numbers > createical_events_fromNumbers'09
The script will create new events in iCal.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
This script creates new events from the content of selected cells from a Numbers '09 table.

Can you set the type of alert in iCal on the iPad?

I have an iPad (1st generation) with the latest iOS5. I love the new iOS and especially the way that iCloud makes things more seamless between my devices. I do have an issue with iCal, however. When I set an event in iCal in OSX, I can set the alert to be a message, message with sound, email, etc. By default, if I set an event in iCal on my iPad the alert is a message. I can find no way to change this. If there is a way, please tell me.
Because of this, I never use iCal on iPad to set alerts because I like to use message with sound. This greatly reduces the functionality of iCal on iPad because, for me, it can only be used as a calendar event viewer. Any help would be appreciated. Note: I have contacted apple feedback about this issue.
In a related, but less important issue, I find that the settings for the timing of the alert are very limited in iCal on iPad. On iCal in OSX one can set the alert time for either the time of the event, or pretty much any amount of time prior to the event. On the iPad, iCal will only let you set it to the day of the event, 1 or 2 days before, or 1 week before the event. A limitation, but not crippling. However, if anyone knows how to set the timing of the event on iPad's iCal with more specificity I would really like to know.
Thanks!

Under Settings, Sounds, you can set an alert sound for calendar events.
For timed events, you can set the alert for a range of times from 5 minutes before upwards (e.g.15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour). For all-day events, the range is as you described.
You can set the alert for each event as you create it (or edit it later)
You can set default alerts for all-day event,s timed events, and birthdays (i.e. different defaults for each type) in Settings, Mail, Contacts and Calendar, default Alerts.
Does that help?

Is there a way to set a limit on the number of characters each cell will hold in numbers?

Hi there, I'm creating a CSV file via Numbers and would like to set a limit to the number of characters a cell will hold in numbers. This way, when I copy text from my source, and paste it into the numbers cell, the text will be cut off at the character limit I've placed for that cell.
Specifically, I would like my character limit per cell in a column on a new spreadsheet to be 100 characters. I have text to copy & paste into roughly 10 different cells and I'd like it to all be 100 characters.
I am using Numbers version 9 of iWork and 10.7.5 OS.
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you t quinn for your reply as I do really appreciate the help.
I don't quite understand what your suggestion was and before I try to figure it out and play around with numbers, I thought I should clarify further. When i wrote I want to paste the content into the cell and have it limited to 100 characters I was mis-spoken. I actually have all the content already in the columns in a spreadsheet and would now like to just limit some of the columns to hold only 100 characters in a cell so that when its a CSV file it will be accepted to the program I'm trying to upload it to.
SO does that change the way you can answer my question?
Is there a way to just limit the content currently in a spreadsheet to 100 characters per cell?
Kindly

Can you set an alert for birthdays in Addressbook and iCal?

When I migrated from Palm Calendar to iCal, my calendar had my birthdays in it repeating each year and with a 7 day alert so I could send a card or get a present in time.
I see you can list a birthday in Addressbook and set the iCal pref to show them which is at first glance very cool and green but when I open the birthday event in iCal I don't see any way to set an alert which is a big limitation.
If I can't set alerts, then the Addressbook/iCal birthday syncing is kind of pointless and limited, unless I'm missing how to set alerts.

Hi Steven,
This is one of the reasons why I wrote Dates to iCal.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries.
Best wishes

How do I set ical default values in lion?

I have just upgraded to Lion and so far, so good. In the new iCal, how do I set the default values? In the old version, when you clicked on the calendar, the default value was a 1 hour meeting around the current time of day. The new version defaults to an all-day meeting. I like the old way better, or best would be to have it as a preference.
Is there a way to set this that I'm not seeing?

Mike,
It sounds to me like you are using the "Month" view for that entry.
Default event creation in Month view results in an all day event.
Lion iCal Help (Add events to a calendar) says: "Add a new event in Month view by double-clicking within the day you want the event to appear. Enter a name and time duration for the event in the event’s title field, and then press Return."
Try entering "Meeting at 9am"...that will create a one hour event named Meeting.
