Setting "From - To" time in Ical

The "From - To" function used to work just fine for me, but since I upgraded to 0.95, I cannot set either the "From" or "To" time to any half hour increments. For instance, a new event defaults to "00". I can set the time for say, 11, but not 11:30. And the "AM" won't let me change it to PM. Very frustrating, because my calendar is a disaster. Everything I've scheduled has defaulted back to the nearest hour, and some of them used to be set at half-hour increments (9:30, 12:30) and everything is scheduled for AM! I thought there might be a setting that I missed, but can't find anything in preferences, googled for answers and can't find a single thing to do. Any help out there?

mom25,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Refresh the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, and log out/in or restart.
Before opening iCal, go to system Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region:> set/re-set the appropriate region. Then open iCal and check the "From - To" function

  • I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer.?

    I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

  • I'm trying to set up a DAQ assist just to measure some voltage, how do i get the graph to start from 0 (time) every time I press run

    Hi all,
    I am trying to set up a simple DAQ assist to measure some voltages (currently a 9 volt battery to aid set up), when choosing to use a waveform chart to log the voltages the graph doesnt start from 0 (time seconds) how do I do this and get it to reset every time I press run or even stop.
    What I want to see at the end is a chart for the full lenght of the test showing voltage against time in seconds.
    Any ideas peeps
    many thanks
    Shane

    Hi Shane,
    Look at this VI
    Here, I clear the chart before running the VI, using a 'history data' property node ( i pass an empty array to clear it)
    In effect, each time you run the VI, the chart will begin at 0:00
    Hope this helps
    Regards

  • Can I restore my mac from a Time Machine backup once I have used BootCamp to partition and set up Windows (without erasing all of the Windows content)?

    A few months ago I partitioned my mac using BootCamp and successfully installed Windows and a few Windows-only programs (games).  I never restored my mac from the Time Machine backup and now I would really like all of my files back on my mac.  I am wondering if I insert the osx install disc and restore from Time Machine backup, will that get rid of the partition I made for Windows?  Will the Windows side of my hard drive stay in tact or will everything on that side get erased when I restore the mac side from the Time Machine backup.  It was a HUUUUUUUGE pain to do the BootCamp partition and get everything Windows set up and I would really like to not have to do that all over again.  I just want to make sure that if I insert the mac osx install disc and restore from Time Machine backup it will only affect the Mac partition, NOT the Windows partition.

    Hi,
    Time Machine does not touch your BootCamp Windows.
    It simply said ignores it completely.
    Nonetheless, I am curious as to why you wanna restore a Time Machine backup.
    Usually during partitioning with the BootCamp Assistant in OSX to make the Windows partition your OSX stays intact.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • What happened to the Get/Set Date and Time utilities from RT 7.1?

    I'd like to use the Get/Set Date and Time utilities that were available in 7.1, but disappeared after that. I see that the 7.1 utilites  call a dll that does not appear to be installed with LabVIEW RT 8 and later. What do I need to do to use the utilites from 7.1 that do not appear in later versions?

    In Labview 8.2 and later there are two directories for vi.lib. settime.dll is located in National instruments\Labview 8.2\Targets\NI\RT\ vi.lib
    This is the dll you want to use in order to call it use the same Vi as in 7.1 (RT set date and time.vi) and link it to the correct dll.

  • I work nights. Can I switch Travel Time in iCal from work to home?

    I work nights. Can I switch Travel Time in iCal from work to home? I really don't have any appointments from 11 pm to 7 am when I work, but I don't want to switch when my day starts in preferences as no one else in my family works nights.
    Any suggestions?

    i haven't seen that option either, and it would be a great feature. (traveltime in a different colour...)
    i do it like this: in the caption of the appointment i put the time that the gig starts. the actual time stretch of the appointment is the appointment including traveltime.
    it's not the best way, but it works...
    good luck

  • Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time when I start it although i have already set it so (on Macbook)

    Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time, although i have already set it so (on a Macbook) (newest version)

    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • Why does iPhoto/Aperture keep deleting photo sets from my Flickr account or keep placing whole sets back into the Pending stage of uploading the photos. This is becoming very frustrating and extremely time consuming. Any help would be most welcome

    Has anyone got any idea as to why Iphoto/aperture keeps deleteing my photo sets from my Flickr account without warning or reason given. Also when I enter my sets the program will revert all of the photos back to the Pending stage of the up oading process. One or two photos I could live with but some of my set are in excess of 1500 photos per set, and this becomes very very time consuming to re upload them. and whats more annoying on some occassions after spending 12 to 16 hours re uploading them I find that they have all been duplicated. Is there a Bug with Iphoto or Aperture????????
    any help would be most welcome P Jefferys

    I am using Iphoto version 9.5.1, and No I am not deleting any photo from any file. what happens is this :- I open up Iphoto and enter my flickr account via the shared folder icon on the left hand side of the screen this is when I get a pop up screen from Iphoto informing me that they have removed a SET of photos from my Flickr account (no reason given) when i go into that set all I can see is dashed empty square where the photo used to be. I will then get another pop up screen saying that Iphoto can no longer access my flickr account and will I permit a reconnection and allow Iphoto to access my flickr account (add pass words etc) when I get back into flickr the SETS have gone and all other photos enter the Pending stage again. After re uploading the missing photos I find that some 50% of them have been duplicated.

  • Quick question!!  Is it mandatory that I set up my DSL through the time capsule? I'd like to leave my current modem from my provider as the primary unit for networking.  So in other words can I just set up the time capsule as a back-up device for now and

    Quick question!!  Is it mandatory that I set up my time capsule as my DSL modem?  Based on the location of my iMAC right now it would be better to just leave the modem provided by my internet provider in place.  I really just want to use the time capsule as a back-up storage device for now and connnect the ethernet cable from my ISP at a later date.

    Generally it is easier to bridge the TC and plug it into the router.. it then lives on the network.. it is after all, a network drive.. and you can access it via your existing connection whether wireless or wired to the existing modem.
    If you really want a totally stand alone setup please tell me how you are presently accessing internet on the Mac you want to backup on the TC.

  • How do I restore iCal data from a Time Machine back-up?

    Recently, all my iCal data disappeared, possibly due my efforts to unlink iCal from Google calendars.
    I have read posts here, and have tried restoring ~/Library/Calendars in its entirety from a Time Machine back-up from about a week ago, where data definitely existed .... however, iCal remains empty. What am I doing wrong?

    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select 
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Restore it from your backup.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • IPhone5 switches to west coast time from Chicago time every day it is set on automatic

    iPhone5 switches to west coast time from Chicago time. Settings are automatic.  Have 2 phones and both switch times

    I'm not sure what the desired result is ... are you on the west coast?
    I'll assume Chicago time is incorrect and west coast time is what you want.
    Try this:  Go to Seetings > General > Date & Time and do these two things:
    1.  Turn "Set Automatically" off.  Then set "Time Zone" right below it to a west coast city, say, Cupertino.  If the time is shown incorrectly, do "Set Date and Time" and correct it
    2.  Turn "Set Automatically" back on.
    If these steps don't correct it, contact your cellular carrier, as setting time automatically is in their hands.

  • Set Mac system time from Labview

    I'm trying to set the Mac system time from my Labview VI.
    The description of my problem is that I'm using a laptop and require that the battery be removed.  So, every time I power up the Mac laptop the System Time is reset to a default time way back in the 60's or 70's.
    I've got an instrument that keeps current time, so I can read the time from it and use it to set the Mac time.
    Ok, so I assume that I need to use an Applescript and send an AppleEvent to the Finder.  The details escape me though, and the Help system doesn't work for the AppleEvent VIs (I get a Work document with 4 words and nothing else).
    ANY help would be appreciated, especially if there is an easier way to set the time.  But any AppleEvent help would also be appreciated. 

    You may be right, I need to take the laptop apart and find that battery.
    I've been inside the laptop before and it's not easy... 
    But thanks for the idea
