Perhaps I should have posted here - Notification delays with iCal

I posted this in SL - but now realize there is a separate area just for iCal so here goes again:
==>I really find it hard to believe that we are all the way to SL 10.6.4 but the alarm (notification reminder delays) on iCal cannot be configured. For example: I set an alarm (notification of an event) to go off to remind me to finish a rapport that is due in 3 days. So I set the alarm for 10am Tuesday; and the notification can be the same time; in the past, future - anytime notification I wish. THAT PART IS SUPER!
BUT BUT BUT - when the alarm goes off, I now realize that I can't work on that today - it is 10 am and I want to work on it at 8am tomorrow, so would like click on the notification to remind me in 12 hours for example; or in 18 hours time. BUT MY CHOICES are still only 1, 5, 15 and 30 minutes; 1 hour, 2 hours or 1 day or 1 week. But I really want to set anytime; or if limited to choices, at least to have 4, 8, 12 and 18 hours in addition to the others!!!!
This should be easy to incorporate. Is there anyway using TERMINAL to adjust this? I like the idea of Mail, Address Book and iCal working together, but iCal has some weak points... this is one. (I use notifications constantly - 10-30 times/day I am notified. It's fast, it works - but I need more choices of times for the delays).
Thanks for any comments.
Best regards,

Hi Stephen,
I'm glad you found my last post helpful.
Apple Discussions is a user to user forum. If you want Apple to hear your suggestion you'd be better off using their feedback form http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html

Oops; shd have posted here to begin with: question about canon pixma 850

can my macbook and my printer be connected via ethernet, rather than via usb? if so, what am i doing wrong? i have the computer and the printer hooked up and nothing's happening. i'm not an esp. sophisticated computer user, so i need pretty basic instructions.
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.5.5)

Hello Nancy,
There is three major steps required for using the MX850 as a network printer from your Mac.
First of all, there is two pieces of software you will need to install on the Mac, the Canon driver v7.1.1 and the IJ Network Tool v2.6.5. These should have been included with the printer but can also be downloaded from a Canon web site.
With the driver and the tool installed, the second step is to set the network address settings in the printer so that the Mac can communicate with it. This has to be performed with the printer connected via USB to the Mac.
With the printer driver installed and connected via USB, the printer should be listed in the Printers list of System Preferences > Print & Fax. If it is shown, click it once to select it and then click the Open Print Queue button. From the MX850 printer queue you can click the Utility icon. This will open another utility showing the MX850 connected via USB. Select the MX850 and click the Network Settings tab. The new window will guide you through setting the network address for the MX850.
This is where you will need to know a few details about your network. If the printer is connecting to a hub or router, and this device can supply IP addresses to connected devices, such as your Mac, then you can set the MX850 to DHCP and the network device will allocate an address for the printer.
If you have no hub or router and want to connect the Mac directly to the printer via Ethernet, then you will have to manually set an IP address and subnet mask in the Mac and so the same in the MX850. Rather than spend too much time explaining this now, if this is how you want to connect the MX850 to the Mac then please reply stating so.
With the IP address settings configured in the MX850, the last step is to add the network printer. You can close the Canon utility, turn off the printer and disconnect the USB cable. Now connect the Ethernet cable and turn the printer back on. Give it a minute or two to acquire its network settings and then open Print & Fax on the Mac. Now you need to Add another printer queue, this time for the networked MX850. Click + to add, and then select More Printers then Canon IJ Network from the top menu. The new window that appears should display the MX850 with a series of numbers and letters in brackets. Select this in the list and click Add. This will add the printer to your printers list. Now you can try printing to the MX850, making sure you select the network queue (the one with the numbers and letters in brackets) and not the USB queue, which probably just shows MX850.
Hope this basic enough for you.

Hi everyone. I have just started having problems with iCal. Events that I thought I had deleted are appearing on Print Preview and on print outs. Likewise Events which I have not deleted have disappeared from my calenders, but appear in print preview.

Hi everybody. I have recently started having problems with iCal (Version 2.05 (1069). Events that I thought I had deleted appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. Likewise Events that I have not deleted have disappeared from my calender (Month View) but appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. I see that there have been similar problems with Events disappearing especially in Month View. I wondered how print preview seemrd to be picking everything up deleted or not, and what the solution may be?. First time of Posting. I hope I haven't embarassed myself.

Hmmmm.
At the very least there must be a "com.apple.ical.plist"...iCal would not function without it.
Click on the Finder icon in the dock
Click on Go > Home
Double-click Library
Double-click Preferences
Look for a file called "com.apple.ical.plist" and remove it to the trash.

How does logical volume helps in performance in AIX..Should have posted IBM

We are setting up a new DB server and the disks are in RAID5 config,Does putting data and index in different logical volumes helps in performance

(I hope I'm not falling for April Fools joke here...)
Hi Maran,
As someone already answered, if both volumes are striped against all available disks, you can put everything in one volume and expect equal or better performance.
However, I want to warn you from optimizing the disk structure without knowing that your database will really bottleneck on disk access to index and data blocks. My storage manager and I wasted countless hours with such optimizations before realizing that we are wasting our time because the application code contains so many functions that disk IO is not even close to being an issue.

Should I post here?

Where can I find explanation/differences of File Size, Data size, Data Rate?
I have been doing quite a bit of research for exporting DVCPROHD for web and my files need to be in wmv format. I'm using Flip4mac pro HD and feel like I'm getting close to the results, as far as, clean, clear & crisp quality looking videos. I have been testing the many different variables of settings. Now that I feel that I'm close to what I want, I just want to be sure of these three components: file size, data size and data rate and how they affect the end user.
If anyone could help I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

I found my answer at http://www.planetoftunes.com/computer/datarate.html

Massive notification delays with iOS 6

Running latest iOS 6 version on my iPad and my iPhone (on the same home network).
Problem:
- incoming email: I see the notifications for new email on my iPhone directly but with a delay of some minutes on my iPad
- incoming SIP notifications: running Bria application on both devices. An incoming call is getting notified directly on my iPhone
but I see the call notifications on my iPad after *minutes*
Why?

Hi
What email server are you using hotmail,gmail,yahoo or what lever some servers require you to fetch and some allow you to push, if you are using fetch you need to get you iPhone and iPad and put fetch on 15 mins at exactly the same time. So you emails will come through in secs not mins. By the way to get to the fetch settings got to settings mail,contacts,calendars select fetch new data, under fetch select manually fetch data on both devices then select every 15 mins exactly the same time on both devices.
Hops this helps

Second Invoice PLD should have value of First Invoice with same SO

Hi All,
The scenerio is as such a Sales Order is created for the value of 1000. Now based on this sales order a partial invoice No 1 is created for 500. Again after somedays based on the same sales order another invoice No 2 is created for 300. Now in the Invoice No 2 prinout I want that Invoice Number 1 value which is 500 should also come.
How to achive this in PLD.
Regards,
Kawish

Hello Kawish,
In the scenario you just described, only two invoices will be created to complete one sales order.
Could you create a UDF on the invoice header linked to the following query
SELECT T0.DocTotal
FROM OINV T0 INNER JOIN INV1 T1 On T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
WHERE T1.BaseRef = $[$38.44.0]
refreshed on a header field that will always change once a line is entered (Doc Total for example).
This will populate the UDF with the previous amount and you just need to use that field in the PLD.
Kind regards,
Frederic
TESTED IN 2007A PL44 - You could apply the same logic with the Invoice Doc Number in another UDF so you can show the first invoice price and doc number. And if you call the docnumber as well, than we can apply he logic to more than 2 invoices.

I bought the Adobe student version of Photoshop and Premiere Elements a few months ago - and now I am trying to use it, and the serial number that I have is incorrect - or it is only the registration number or something? It says I should have been sent an email with the serial number once the product was registered - But I never received this email. If anyone is able to help me with this issue - that would be great. the registration number is: PEPEP6-5578-6450-8871-9107 I am using a windows based system

If I were you I would first make sure CS6 was deactivated or signed-out. Then download Adobe's cleaner and remove cc, CS6 and any other creative application installed including Creative Cloud desktop application. Then install CS6 and use your CS6 serial number during the install to activate CS6 standard or extended which ever the serial number is for. CS6 Version 13.0 should the be activated. That level of CS6 is extremely bug ridden so be sure to the use CS6 menu Help>Updates to get CS6 updates. Windows should update to version 13.0.1.3 Mac to version 13.0.6. Not Subscription CS6 version 13.1.2...
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

I have a G5 and iBook with PowerPC/iTunes 10....just recently I can't bring up the preset Internet radio on either one. Is this a glitch, or have they been permanently disabled for older versions of iTunes?

I should have posted this for you a while ago. My apologies for not doing it sooner. This was passed on to me by another user R C-R
He deserves the credit for this workaround. This is his post from an area in the forum where you have to be level 6 or higher in which to participate.
I am getting the same (global) error using iTunes 10.3.1 on a 2008 MacBook running 10.6.8.
A really, really awkward workaround that works for me (for now) is if you have the URL of the Internet radio server you can go to Advanced > Open Stream... (in iTunes 10.x) or type command + U, enter it there & click OK. The station should play fine in 10.x.
You can get the URL from any version of iTunes that still supports the "radio tuning service" (which I gather is an Apple server thing Apple is no longer supporting for 10.x). Play the station normally from the newer version & type command + I to open the info window. At the bottom of the "Summary" tab you will see the URL. (Annoyingly, you can't copy the text so you will have to write it down.)
Once you have that, you can play the station in 10.x & add it to a playlist for future use.
To check this out, maybe try http://198.27.80.37/stream/mbarsott.pls -- it is a European Jazz station that works fine for me with iTunes 10.3.1.
This workaround does work, but is a bit cumbersome. I'm still holding out hope that it is just a glitch.

I bought my wife a new 4S for Christmas, how should I set her up? I already have an apple ID but should I give her a unique ID as well? And if so how do I connect her to my iTunes account? Thanks

I have an apple ID but should I set her up with a unique ID as well? And if so how do I link her to our iTunes library? Thanks

You must first go to your Apple ID and take the device off of your listed devices and then wait until it is updated accordingly ...Next link the iPhone to her Apple ID. go to the app store and on to 'featured' scroll down to the bottom and it shows your apple id, click it and sign out and you can then sign in with your new apple id
If you mean your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. If you are signing back into the same account, just with a renamed ID, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted. Your data will be synced back when you sign back in. However, if you are changing to a new account with a new ID and need to migrate your synced data to the new account, choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then choose Merge to upload your data to the new account when you sign back in and turn on your iCloud data syncing.
If you want to keep your photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Sae to Camera Roll).

My daughter accidentally restored her ipod4 to factory settings so I restored from the last iCloud backup. Her photos were all on camera roll so I believe should have been backed up, but none of them have been restored. Why?

My daughter accidentally reset her ipod4 to factory settings so I restored from the last iCloud backup. All her photos were on camera roll so I believe they should have automatically been backed up, but none have been restored. Why?

When she plugged in the ipod last night it backed up again so that now shows as the latest backup. No previous backups are listed so I do not seem to have the option to rerun the old one. She had many pictures on the camera roll taken from well before July. I can only presume that the backup in July must have been incomplete - but then I didn't think it was supposed to list as an option to restore from. Luckily many of the photos had been backed up on the pc but I am very frustrated as to why the icloud backup didn't protect them. Thank you for your advice though, I appreciate it.

Hi I have an iPhone 4 and suddenly it stopped working. Could here notifications and nothing on the diisplay. Wake up button on top is not working. so unable to restart the phone. Wanted to try restore from iTunes but Find my iPhone (iCloud) is on. How to recover or restart my Phone

Follow these steps to log into your iCloud account on your computer and deactivate "Find my iPhone" on your device:
Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.
Note: You can also remove your iOS device by first erasing it—just follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you don’t have. You can later restore the device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
Turn off the device you want to remove.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete button next to the device. If the device comes online again, it will reappear in Find My iPhone. If your device reappears, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above for removing a device by turning off Find My iPhone), or if it’s an iOS device and you no longer have it, follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you no longer have.
Remove an iOS device you no longer have
If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, then select the device.
Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.
Note: If you’re trying to erase a family member’s device, that person will need to enter his or her Apple ID password on this device. If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased, and someone else can now activate the device.

Do you have to have a .Mac account to post here

Just woundering if you have to have a .Mac account to post in the Apple discussion forum.........my membership will expire soon.
Thanks

You don't need a .Mac to post here, but you DO need an Apple ID.
I have used .Mac since it was first offered free with...I think it was with OS8.5
I now pay for it and find it a great way to share photos etc with others. I also back up important stuff to the account. The BIG advantage for me is that I have been able to keep the same email address for a LONG time...even though I've switched ISP's numerous times. The @mac.com address is worth the $99 a year for me.

HT204053 We bought our daughter a iPad mini for christmas. Should we set her up her own apple ID or use the one we have. What is the best way for her for school?

We bought our daughter an iPad Mini for Christmas. Should we create her own apple ID or use the one we currently have for her device as well? What is the best way for her school work?

Her own ID. You cannot transfer purchases between IDs so anything bought on your account will require your authorization should she need to download in the future.
