Stop birthday repeats for deceased in iCal

How to change “never” to a specific date to stop.
My friends are passing away and a 112 year old message is meaning less.
I want to be reminded of those who are still alive.

bllc,
If you just want to remember the birthday, you could also create a separate birthday event for the purposes of remembrance and delete the birthday entry from Address Book. That would enable you to display the event without being remided about the 112 year birthday.
Another consideration is Dates to iCal, by John Maisey.

I am using an apple TV to show a slide show which is sent via WiFi from a mini computer. The slide show repeats for a few hours and then stops and shows "no signal". What's going on- and how do I get the show to cycle indefinitely?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you also set the Apple TV not to sleep.

Icloud does not appear in sys pref. still has mobile me. Also getting error message asking for password in ical. We enter it and the error re appears

I cloud does not appear in system preferences ....after transition.
Mobile me still there...
All other devices working fine.
Also ICal asking repeatedly for password...we enter it and error reappears

Please always post your operating system when you have a question since in many cases the answer depends on it.
Lioin 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - if you have anything earlier you can't use it directly.
You will be able to access email, calendar and contacts on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).

I have two birthday reminders for single contacts?

Firstly, I apologise if this has been asked elsewhere but it was proving difficult to search through all the other threads.
Ok so for some reason i've got two different birthday reminders for some contacts. I'm using Windows Live Mail and I synced all my contacts from there onto my ipod and the birthdays have carried over (I think, not sure if all of them but hey). I am sure that I did manually put the birthdays in for a couple of contacts a while before I synced all the contacts from WLM so that could be the reason for some, but there are definitely others which I couldn't have done - reason being I don't know the date of their birthday. One has a red dot next to it, the other is a picture of a present/gift.
Here's a screenshot:
Now if possible, I would prefer to have them all just as the one with the present next to it... so anyone know what's going on here?
Also, some of them show up with the nickname instead of the full name (I fixed them all before I synced). I double-checked in WLM and in the contacts folder in my document and this guy had an empty box for 'nickname' on both accounts.... yet it still shows up as his nickname
So anyone know how to fix this? I'm a bit of an OCD freak so it's driving me insane haha
Thanks

Not to worry. When you imported your calendars from Windows Live, it synced the birthdays you had there. Since you also entered the birthdays for some of the same people on their contact information as well, it shows up twice because it automatically pushed the birthday to the calendar. You have to choose between Windows Live calendars or your device's conatcts. Essentially speaking, it would the best decision to choose the one that has the most birthdays already entered. I'll give you both scenarios, however:
If you want to get rid of the Windows Live birthday:
-Tap the event that has the dot next to it
-Edit the event
-Delete the event (and all recurring events)
**I believe this will also delete the event across all other devices that have the Windows Live account synced
If you want to get rid of the contact's birthday that you entered manually:
-Go into your Contacts on your iOS device
-Go to the contact that has the birthday that is repeated (for example, the pictures that you included: "Calum Leask.")
-Edit the contact
-Remove the birthday from the contact

How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?

How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?
When an event is about to begin, the mail app opens and I'd like to turn that off since I don't use the mail app.
Thanks!

Hi
This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

Changing the default Repeat Times list in iCal Alarms?

Has anyone ever figured out a way to change the default "repeat times" list on iCal Alarms?
[img]http://img.skitch.com/20091129-xe9qr7yt94d8e6bq5pp3nya574.jpg[/img]
I'd love to add a few to iCal's current offerings, like "4 hours" "8 hours" etc.

Dear Rich
Welcome to Apple Forums,
I'm not sure about either of these but it used to be that you could rook the finder into opening in which ever view you wanted by double clicking on your hard drive icon on your desk top changing it to the view you want and then resizing it slightly. If you then close it and reopen it it should open to list view again. Again i'm not sure that this still works but its better than nothing. Also there is a free program called Cocktail that might do it for you( i have an old version and there for the newer version might have it when might doesn't). I hope one of these two ideas works out for you.

'09 iMac now randomly stopping with pinwheel for 1/2-1 min

My trusty '09 iMac has started randomly stopping, with pinwheel, for 1/2-1 min. then continuing. Happens from sign-on to internet to opening apps, anytime. Averages every 2-3 min. Other computer, MacAir on network, has no problem. Timemachine backs up to Airport Express tower. Turning off/on has no effect. OS X 10.9.1.

When you next have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above. Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough. It is never necessary or helpful to post more than about 100 lines. "The more, the better" is not the rule here.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

XML INVOICE Report RAXINV, Taxline is repeating for each invoice line

Hi Tim
Thanks a lot for your blog
Greeting !!
I have successfully created XML report for AR invoice Printing learning from your blog but stuck to a problem , whenever Invoice is having multiple lines ,say 20, then for each invoice line there is tax line printing 20 times like this:
PART NO.| CUSTOMER PART#/DESCRIPTION | UNIT PRICE | QUNTITY|
A123 | 34 WELD-ROD | 52 | 22 |
Tax Exempt @ 0.00
A234 | 238-AL WIER | 63 | 55 |
Tax Exempt @ 0.00
........ Assume there are 20 lines then tax line also repeating 20 times which i don't want .It should get printed only once if it is same
pls help me to achieve this
Thanks
Rahul

Thanks Tim for Your Instant reply.
I have gone through your duplicate line elimination but my requirement is not this
I'll explain it, I am using LINE_DESCRIPTION tag for printing item description and this tag have two value for it, when the LINE_TYPE =LINE then LINE_DESCRIPTION tag is printing the line description and if LINE_TYPE =TAX
then LINE_DESCRIPTION tag is printing the taxline information. Now if I have 20 lines in Invoice then the tax line will also repeat for 20 times, and if i use duplicate line elimination logic and I have same item it'll not print that item, some times whole invoice become blank.
So I want to print 20 lines and out of that 15 lines are have same tax rate then it should print once at the end of 15th line and for remaining 5 lines if tax rate is different for each line then it should print at the end of each line (5lines)
In the linetreevariable i used <xsl:variable xdofo:ctx="incontext" name="invLines" select=".//G_LINES [LINE_TYPE!='FREIGHT']"/> i.e. I want only line type=LINE and TAX
Thanks

TS3276 Well it happened again. Why does my apple me account stop sending mail for no apparent reason. One minute it is working find and 10 seconds latter you get error messages that it does not recognize your password. I am really fed up with the mail sof

Things were going well. Mail was working fine and then the following error message appears out of nowhere. I had not changed any settings. From that point on all efforts to send mail failed, and the error message appeared even thought I used the password to log back in after I quit. Now, an hour after the problem started it takes my password (on the second try after the error message appears) once and sends a test message. Then, one minute later it gives the error message again and refuses to send anything. Why is mail so inconsistent? What can I do in the future to address the problem?
Error message reads "The SMTP server "xxxxx" rejected the password for user "xxx" Please re-enter your password or cancel.
When mail does work again. Should I click the remember this password in keychain or am I just asking for more trouble?
I'm writing this using my IMac computer in a different room. The error also occurs on my powerbook running my new MacBook Pro 12 inch.
Fed up Mac user.

I"m no expert but this used to happen to me all the time (stop downloading, asking for my password, nothing downloading, walking away- 24 hours or more later, all is fine, only to later start all over again)
Well, i gave up for a long time and stopped using that account with mac mail and only accessed it online..recently went and changed the pop3 to only pop and now it works beautifully and seamlessly. Don't ask me why or how, but it does so thought I'd share.

So when I installed the most recent updates for microsoft office 2011 for mac, my ical info disappeared. Still have the info on my Office calendar but it's no longer on ical. It's also been removed from my phone. How can I get outlook to sync with ical

When I installed the recent updates for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, my iCal calendar was wiped out, as was the calendar on my iPhone. I'd rather use iCal than Office and was attempting to phase Office out altogether. Now, all of my information is on the Office calendar but not iCal. The iCloud version of my iCal calendar is not up to date. In any event, I couldn't figure out how to send that info to the iCal on my mac or my phone. How can I sync my Office calendar info to iCal? If that's not possible, how can I get my Office calendar to sync with my iPhone? All of my sync services are set up in iTunes and on my phone. This happened to me once before and I spent hours on the phone with Apple and on the web trying to work it out. I NEED MY CALENDAR!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

As that's not an Apple product, you may get more help by using Microsoft's Office for Mac forums:
Office for Mac forums
The other concern I have is that Office 2011 requires an Intel-based Mac and you posted in the older iMac (pre-Intel or "PPC") forums. If you have an Intel-based iMac (Apple menu > About this Mac..." will say "Intel" if you do) then I think you'll get faster and more accurate ansers to other questiosn in the Apple forums for newer iMacs here:

Setting default times for events in ical.

When setting an event in ICal on my Mac (Im using Lion 10.7.5) if I double click to start an event, it places an event on the day I clicked on. Im in the month view. When I go into the event to set the time, the default is 10 am to 6 pm and I have to reset it to an hour long event. I do know that if I type in the time at the end of the event name, eg. Meet Mary 7 pm, the event will have an hour long duration in the calendar. Is there a way to change the default for my first method of clicking to create a new event by double clicking in the day square for the event? Thanks.

Hi BumbleBBB,
The article below will explain the parameters for adding events to the Calendar:
iCal 5.x: Add events to a calendar
Enter a name, date, and time duration for the event, and then press Return. For example, you can enter “Super Bowl Party Feb 6,” “Movie with Rebecca on Friday at 7pm,” “Soccer Game on Saturday from 11am-1pm,” or “Breakfast with Jon,” and then press Return.
If you don’t enter a time duration for the event, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour.
If you don’t enter any time information for the event, iCal makes the event an all-day event.
If you enter “breakfast” or “morning,” iCal sets the event to start at 9 a.m.
If you enter “lunch “ or “noon,” iCal sets the event to start at 12 p.m.
If you enter “dinner” or “night,” iCal sets the event to start at 8 p.m.
I hope this information helps ...

Setting defaults for reminders in iCal

Is it possible to set a default for reminder in iCal? I would like to set it at e-mail the day before. However, iCal seems to have a reminder default as an alert (which is simply a pop-up), not e-mail. For every event I creat in iCal, I am having to manually put in the e-mail 1 day before. It doesn't remember the number of days either, because when I choose e-mail, it automatically displays 15 days. I know there's got to be some way to fix this. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

thats what we've been doing. Problem is its gets a bit tedious when you have to constantly go through this process (and it involves a few clicks to do so) each time you open a file or place an image. The usual default is for files to be listed by name so we are not sure how or why all of a sudden it now defaults to "last modified" each time one of these menus is opened. And the defaults are fine ie. files are listed by name when opening folders outside of indesign... its only through indesign that they have reveted to "last modified".....

Birthday calendar for only some of my contacts are showing up twice in my iPhone. They are not showing up twice tho on my iMac. No, I do not have duplicate names in my address book either. Any idea how to fix that?

my birthday events for only some of my contacts are showing up twice in my iPhone. They are not showing up twice tho on my iMac. No, I do not have duplicate names in my address book either. Any idea how to fix that?

I have uploaded the InDesign file so that you can take a closer look at:
http://www.hsdesign.comuf.com/downloads/
The file is called "Template_File.indd"
So, as discussed the main issues are:
1) The TOC doesn't generate all the listings (only those with the applied paragraph style "Heading 1 - Appendix")
2) When I try to create a new pargraph style and apply it to existing or new text, it reads the pargraph style in the Paragraph Style menu, but the style doesn't actually apply.
Hopefully you can figure something out from this. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks!

My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2 seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery?

My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2+ seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery? It doesn't hold a charge either...

EmadJamal,
the battery won’t melt because of long connection to the AC charger, although that has the potential of reducing the battery’s life.
Do you have access to a second 60 W AC charger to test with your MacBook Pro, or access to a second 13-inch MacBook Pro against which your AC charger could be tested?
