Opening iCal When Starting Up

Is there a way to have iCal open automatically when starting up or to have it change days if the machine stays on?
Thanks.

Sure. Simply launch your System Preferences application and select the Accounts pane. Press the Login Items tab and the + symbol beneath the window to add iCal as a login item. Check the Hide box if you don't want iCal to be visible each time you start up or log in.

How to fix forgetting previously opened tabs when starting Firefox by clicking on a link in an external application?

Hello, I have the option Startup: "Show my windows and tabs from last time" enabled. Works fine, except when Firefox starts when I click a link in an external application (typically Thunderbird). Then, the new link gets opened in a new tab, Firefox remembers the number of tabs I had opened when I last closed it, but all the "old" tabs are blank. Can I somehow fix this behavior?
Disabling add-ons does not help. Clicking on a link in an external application when Firefox is already opened works OK. I have been using Firefox for quite a short time now (probably half a year) and this problem was always there (i.e. it is not due to a new update).
Thank you.

If Firefox is closed and an external link opens Firefox, you need to go to History > Recently Closed Tabs and open those tabs before closing Firefox. If you don't the "previous session" will be gone and only the one page that the external program opened will be the new "previous session".
If that isn't satisfactory, you'll need to install a "session manager" type extension to remember more than "the last session" only.

Gnome crashes on Open File when starting - infinite crashes

I found some material the other day on the forum and I can't find it again. Maybe someone can give me an idea for a search term.
This happened immediately when I updated Gnome to 2.26 (I hadn't been using it for several weeks). After the update Gnome started and Bug Buddy appeared. When I canceled Bug Buddy, the Open File crashed again and Bug Buddy reappeared. Over and Over. I could run System Monitor but I couldn't see what to do to stop things. If I killed Open File and Bug Buddy they just came right back XFCE starts and runs fine as does Blackbox. I thought maybe a subsequent update would contain the fix, but not so far. So if anyone can put me onto the solution i would appreciate it. thanks.

DVD player opens automatically when starting computer

When I start up my macbook pro OS X version 10.6.8 the DVD player opens up automatically. This is something new and started recently after we had some difficulty playing/ejecting a DVD that ejected when we restarted the computer. Can someone please offer some help

Thankyou for your reply. I tried your first suggestion, but the DVD player didn't show up in Login Options. I didn't try to close the window and restart because everytime I start the computer and the DVD player opens, I automatically close the app because it's so annoying.
But your suggestions did prompt me to go to dock and right click on the DVD player app and I noticed that when I clicked on options, there was a tick beside "Open at Login". I wasn't even aware that you could right click on the app and that option and others were there. So I just unticked it and I'm sure the problem will be solved.
So thankyou

Intermittent problem - CS5 document opens grey when starting InDesign

Users PC specs - Windows 7, dual core processor, 1+ GBs of ram (most cases 2+ GB), InDesign CS5.
(200+ InDesign users)
I have had several users complain about documents opening completely grey. The whole document, including text is greyed out. The only thing you can see is outlines of frames. It does not happen all of the time, and usually restarting InDesign solves the problem. I know for a fact it is not a display performance problem where the user has their display performance set to "fast". It is the whole document that is grey and not just the images.
We have tried deleting preferences, uninstalling/reinstalling InDesign, all with no luck. One user has this happen several times on a daily basis.
If anyone has any available information on what might be causing this issue, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I have some updates to this problem -
Attempted resolutions -
Patch 7.0.3 has been applied
Drivers have been updated
Bios has been updated
ID CS5 has been removed and reinstalled
Preferences have been deleted
So far, none of these have helped resolve the problem. I've been told that the application crashes 2 out of 3 times when opening a document. InDesign only crashes when opening a document though, not when launching the application alone. This does not happen on a specific document.
There is also an application error recorded in the event log when this happens -
Faulting application name:InDesign.exe, version: 7.0.3.535 time stamp: 0x4ca67222
Faulting module name: Public.dll, version: 7.0.3.535, time stamp: 0x4ca671ad
Exception code: 0xc0000005
This is what InDesign looks like before it actually crashes -

Open iCal automatically at OS X start up?

I may have missed a post on this in my search--is there any way to set iCal so that it opens automatically when starting OS X? Thanks.

I have set iCal as a login item, and it is "on" when I login. But, what I would really like is to have it open, on the screen, when I login, so it is the first thing I see. Is there any way to do this?

Database does not open when starting NT service

Database does not open automatically when starting NT service. It can be opened manually only, through the one of administrative utilities. Can this problem occur due to small SGA size? (in my case - 32 Mb)
OS: Windows NT SP6
Database: 8.1.6
Ilya.

sounds more like your permissions aren't set correctly on the services startup menu. you could also have a post-job to run after the server restarts - using oradim you can start the service and the db all at once.

Dbl-click ics file opens iCal, but no event is created; import works

I have an ics file that opens iCal when I double-click it (either the file in the Finder, or the same file as an attachment in Mail). However, the event described in the ics file is not created.
When I use File->Import in iCal, and select the same file, it asks me to choose the calendar and then the event is created.
Why the different behavior? I would expect dbl-clicking to work exactly the same as doing an Import.
This is iCal 4.0.3

I think I have solved my problem. I could not get v2 to import to v4 so I was trying to sync to .Mac, then use Mobile Me to bring it down to the new computer and I have succeeded.
On the old laptop, I had to use the RESET SYNC info in the ADVANCED button to make the direction of the data go from the original computer to .Mac, then do the same on the new one to make it go from .Mac to the v4 iCal.
This is how you change the direction of the data when it says it's going to add 1 item and erase 240 but you want to do this the other way around!
I am not sure if this solves the problem of the iPhone but there has to be a way to reverse the direction of the sync on there too.

ICal was linked to a Google account I canceled. When I open iCal, a message says iCal can't connect to the account server. Clicking OK repeats the message. Clicking OK, iCal quits. How can I eliminate the problem server?

iCal was linked to a gmail account I canceled. When I open iCal, a message says iCal can't connect to the gmail account server. Clicking OK repeats the message. Clicking OK again causes iCal to quit. There is no opportunity to delete the link. How can I eliminate the problem server or otherwise get iCal working again? (OS 10.6.8)

The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Paste into a Terminal window by pressing command-V. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1                              localhost
255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
::1                                        localhost
Below that, you may see some other lines. The first 9 lines should be exactly as above, apart from differences in the blank space within lines. Otherwise you can't use this procedure—STOP and ask for guidance.
If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '10,$d' /etc/hosts
You may be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

Ical when opened disapears within 5 seconds.

When I open ical in the dock - it opens and then disapears within 5 seconds. Read that to resolve the problem is to delete it from the dock and the Mac harddrive. That is what I did. Can't seem to find a download to reestablish ical. Don't know if I should insert the Panther disc and start over. Feel that might ruin what I have on board and destroy everything. Need help.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9) ical problem

Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start. You have insufficent privileges to start system svc. Help?

Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start. You have insufficent privileges to start system svc. Help?

Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
Redo the install, following the below procedure. However, when you re-install Itunes, right click and run the install as administrator. For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

"Unable to open config file" Error when starting tomcat

hi all,
Here is the output from two of the log files when I start tomcat4 on my linux box. I have configured the mod_jk on the tomcat side.
From the output of the second log file, it seems that the ajp13 worker I defined was started successfully. What I don't understand is the following:
1) In catalina.out, where des the line 'Unable to open config file' come from? Which config file?
2) Tomcat4 is supposed to generate a mod_jk.conf automatically, but I don't see any file generated in 'conf/auto/'.

I have all those files too.
I think the 'config file' mentioned in the error log is the mod_jk.conf.
On Jason Hunter's tomcat4 guide, it says don't use the tomcat4 RPM to installed. What is the difference bettween the RPM version and the tar.gz version? The only difference I can think of is that in the RPM version, the conf directory is in the 'etc/tomcat4/conf'. Could it be the reason that tomcat4 cannot read the config file? But it has no problem reading the server.xml though.

I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default search engine. I click the box 'do not ask me again' and it comes up EVERY TIME. I change things like I don't want history remembered, and when I reload FireFox again, it's back to the way it was BEFORE. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't know why this is happening, or how to fix it. What do I do??

I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

Doesn't start when starting as administrator. Error Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

Update firefox, it asked me to update flash, I tried to update flash but it said I had to close firefox. A box came up and said the Flash install would continue when I closed firefox. I closed all firefox windows and no update of flash occurred. I tried relaunching firefox but got the "Doesn't start when starting as administrator. Error Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." message. I rebooted the system, no improvement. I tried to run firefox as administrator and got the same message. Either I find a fix or I won't be able to use firefox and will have to go back to ie.

We have an older IMac (preIcloud) and just purchased a new Macbook Air. Our Iphones are set-up to synch with the IMAC and my calendars on the IMac & the phone look the same. But when I open ICal on the MacBook Air my calendar is missing items? Help..

Are you wanting to import iCal to the MacBook Air. Since iCloud doesn't work with 10.6 OSX you probably don't have any data in iCloud yet?
