Set time in Reminders

Hi,
I have heard that there is a shortcut to set a alarm time in Reminders. If you use Swedish as default language you can write i.e. "Call mum kl13.00" or something like that. In English it would something be like "Call mum 13.00h".
Does anybody know this future, and more exact how to use it? And if there are other cool shortcuts for date's etc.
Many thanks!

First of activate Speech & Dictation from System Preferences,you will be offered a warning! If you do activate Speech & Dictation then open the Reminders app, place your cursor in the list on the right, tap the fn key twice then say what you want... Call mother 29th of September at 4 PM press fn key once to finish.
Note: the fn key is the default activation key but it can be changed to suit your needs.

Can't Set Time in "Reminders" App

This seems like a really basic question that should be a non-issue, but I can't figure out how to set a specific Time for the "Reminders" application on my Macbook Air 2012 (with Mountian Lion).
I can creat New Reminders, name them, I can make a reminder go off "by day" or "by location".
When I try to set a reminder "by day", I can name the note - then I have the ability to make the note "show info", where I can adjust which day on the calendar the note will be for. I can adjust the date by clicking the date, which opens up a calendar.
However, if I click the time, nothing happens. It seems to automatically set the time it will go off as the start of the following hour.
Is there a bug with my app or am I doing something wrong? What am I missing?
Thanks for much for your help

Can't set time in reminders app in OS X ML

hey,
according to apple's instructions at: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11838,
setting a time for a reminder in the OS X Mountain Lion is just like doing it on an iDevice:
4.Click the time to enter a different time.
But not so, when adding a reminder in the Reminders.app on my mac and trying to modify the date, for instance,
it does let me change it, but when clicking the time it doesn't react.
and clues?

For some reason SpeedGrade updated through the Application manager. I tried downloading the updates from adobe's website but it won't install. Prelude's update fails before it can even get started whereas the extension manager does install but it doesn't seem to be updating.
I've done as much investigation as I can think of and I'd rather not create a new user just to check that out but if I have to I will. How exactly do I create a new user on a mac?

Why do my Reminders sometimes not alert after the set time?

Why do my Reminders sometimes not alert after the set time? I've tried re-starting repeatedly. I've tried deleting older completed reminders (I only had 300). Is there a fix for this?

You problem sounded rather odd, so I tried to duplicate it in iTunes 11 and I couldn't.
I turned off copy to iTunes media folder when adding to library, then I moved a music track that was not in the iTunes media folder from folder A to folder B and right clicked on it and selected open with iTunes and it played fine. (I have to do it this way as iTunes is not my default player for MP3).
However the consequences of doing this are that you end up with two copies of the track in the library database, the original which can no longer be found as it is not in its original location and the new entry pointing to the correct location which plays OK.
So as far as I can tell, there must be something else going on as I can't dublicate your problem in iTunes 11

If you want an easy time with iTunes it really is easier to let iTunes manage your music in the iTunes media folder. Also it make life a lot easier if you want to move to a new disk or PC as iTunes can tolerate the iTunes media folder being moved as long as you tell it where it is.

I realised that my last experment was not a purchased track.
When I did it with a purchased track, iTunes recognises that it should be in the library database and brings the track up with an exclamation mark next to it. Strangely the track was added to the library with the correct loaction and would play on the secon try.
Odd behaviour, maybe it is something to do with the icloud storage system as iTunes knows you purchased the track.

Hi, I'd like to set alarms or reminders on my I phone or I pad so that it can update or sync automatically with each other. I don't know if this is possible or how to do it. I hope you can help..

HI, if I did this, then I believe that I cloud would then hold my info which I don't want. Is that the case? The reason is that I'm an old git, therefore used to not giving out info. Would I be right?
Thank-You so much for taking the time to answer.

My Apple TV all of a sudden refuses to show my movies from my MacBook and says it needs to set time network. What is that?

My Apple TV all of a sudden refuses to show the movies from my MacBook and says it needs to set time network. What is that?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV should set it's time automatically from the network time server, if it isn't doing this try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds, if this fails try resetting or restoring it.

HT201250 I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive. The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc). Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?

I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive. The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc). Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?

Yes you can make multiple backups on one hard drive, for example if you’ve 1TB hard drive installed in your PC and you’ve two Mac Machines with 500GB drive each then you just make two backup images with size of 500GB each.

Are you using a new 802.11ac Time Capsule - the "tall" one - and are you still using Mac OS X 10.6.8?
You need OS X 10.7.5 "Lion" or later, or an iOS device, to configure an 802.11ac Time Capsule:

Can I hide the set time in the event boxes in the Week View?

No way around this that I can find. That toolbar pops up if you pause the show.
The nearest I could figure is to use the settings button for a long slide - 'Play each slide for 120 seconds' then tapping the arrows will move the slides along without showing the toolbar. And the 120 second slide is almost as good as a pause.

Where can I find a video that tells me how to set time on photos to 1 second each?

where can I find a video that tells me how to set time on photos to 1 second each? Where can I find a video that tells me how to add black space to the sides of all photos so that they display completely instead of only showing the center (which shows peoples' crotches but cuts off their heads- great huh?)? Would like to import whole folders of photos, set each to 1 second, have each display completely without distorting to fill. and "play" the timeline as I build it so that I can see if its working before putting in 2000 pics?

How may I automatically stop and start Mail services at a set time please

Hi folks. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to automatically stop and start Mail services (or any other services) at a set time please in Leopard Server? Is there a script someone has created which might help?
Cheers, David ( a realy newbie when it comes to administering OS X server)

launchd works through a series of XML documents that define tasks to run, either at launch, on a time schedule, in response to network events, etc.
So you'll need to create two .plists - one to start the mail server and one to stop it. They should be saved in /Library/LaunchDaemons. I'd suggest something like:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.stop.plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple
.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>local.postfix.stop</string>
  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>
    <string>/usr/sbin/serveradmin</string>
    <string>stop</string>
    <string>mail</string>
  </array>
  <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
  <dict>
    <key>Hour</key>
    <integer>1</integer>
    <key>Minute</key>
    <integer>00</integer>
  </dict>
</dict>
</plist>
and /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.start.plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple
.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>local.postfix.start</string>
  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>
    <string>/usr/sbin/serveradmin</string>
    <string>start</string>
    <string>mail</string>
  </array>
  <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
  <dict>
    <key>Hour</key>
    <integer>4</integer>
    <key>Minute</key>
    <integer>00</integer>
  </dict>
</dict>
</plist>
You'll need to either use launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.stop (or start) to load the tasks, or reboot your server.
I'm curious, though, as to why you want to do this. Mail is typically one of the services that people want to run 24/7 so they don't miss out on any emails (even though SMTP can tolerate this). Why do you want to shut yours down?

Setting time automatically doesn't work?

One of the less obvious new features in iOS 4.2 is that there is now an option in your Settings app to set the time automatically.
The only problem with that option is that it doesn't work - at least not for me. Actually, what happens when I enable that option is that it turns back my clock by 18 minutes. I've tried syncing, waiting, switching the option on or off while connected or not connected to iTunes, and a few other things. Nothing helped.
Interestingly enough, this new option is not mentioned in the updated iPad User Guide, so I'm not sure how it's supposed to work.
Any ideas? My timezone is set correctly.

Yeah, something seems to be broken... I have a WiFi - 3G iPad but I've never turned on the 3G so I'm running (and have always run) WiFi only... My iPad normally lives in California (Cupertino is the default time zone for California) but I am presently in Kansas City visiting family. I also just downloaded and installed the new 4.2 OS yesterday so maybe that has something to do with the issue???
Anyway, if I turn "Set time automatically" to OFF, set the time zone to either Dallas or Chicago (two choices for the Central time zone where I am now and set the time manually, I can then change the time zone to Denver (all as an experiment) and the time rolls back one hour (so far so good)... I then change the time zone to Cupertino (Ca) and it rolls back another hours (again, good)... Then I reset it to say Chicago (Central) and it moves forward two hours (again, check)... Then, for grins, with it sitting right there and the correct Central time and with Chicago chosen as the current time zone, I then "Set time automatically" back to ON and the time now rolls FORWARD TWO MORE HOURS where it should not go... The bottom line is with "Set time automatically" turned ON I get the wrong time by two hours... Now granted, there is a two hour time zone difference between where I originally set up this machine and where I am now and maybe that has something to do with it??? Or something is broken in the OS...
Anyone have any thoughts or guidance???
thanks... bob...

Set Time Zone automatically doesn't work?

Just returned from a trip to Greece (back home now in Phoenix). Noticed that even connected to wifi in different locations, when "set time zone automatically" was clicked on in general settings, time displayed on iPad seemed stuck in EST. (I made a stop in Philly on way to trip, not sure if that has to do with anything.)
If i click "set time zone automatically" to off, for some reason my iPad defaults to Washington DC, even though in all my calendar/email settings i have Phoenix set as local time zone. I can change Washington DC to Phoenix and correct time displays on iPad. Just wondering why i can't set it automatically to display correct local time?
Thanks for any suggestions....

Ok thanks. Yeah, I ended up using the World Clocks.
Where it gets interested is, iCal. If you're in a foreign country that's, say, 4 hours ahead, and you add iCal entries to your Calendar while you're out there, should those entries reflect the local time or the home time?
Also, if you're set the Alarm to wake you up at 8:00am, and you're away on holiday, surely it will go off at home time, not local time, thus going off at the WRONG time.
