Strange behavior for iCal alarms

To run an AppleScript from an iCal alarm you do the following:
In Automator, create a Calendar Alarm
Select Utilities from the library pane
Select & drag Run AppleScript into the workflow area
Copy/paste an AppleScript into the Run AppleScript box
Save the newly created Calendar Alarm with name (e.g. ArchNew)
This will open the Automator Calendar in iCal
Edit the Date/Time/Repeat/...... as you want as shown in the example below
The resulting AppleScript will be stored here
/Users/<user_acct>/Library/Workflows/Applications/Calendar/ArchNew.app
Now the problem
If at a later time you want to modify the AppleScript ArchNew.app using the AppleScript Editor, it will break the binding between the iCal alarm and the AppleScript ArchNew.app
The only way I've been able to do this is delete the file
/Users/<user_acct>/Library/Workflows/Applications/Calendar/ArchNew.app
and then go back to #1 above and repeat the whole process with the modified AppleScript.
Does anyone know why the simple approach of directly editing and saving the changes to the AppleScript ArchNew.app doesn't work?

You still haven't provided your 4 digit Oracle version or the TABLE and INDEX DDL.
Your 'problem' could be nothing more than DEFERRED SEGMENT creation where Oracle doesn't allocate space until the first data is added for that segment.
See 'Understanding Deferred Segment Creation' in the DBA Guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25494/tables002.htm#CHDGJAGB
>
Understand Deferred Segment Creation
Beginning with Oracle Database 11g Release 2, when you create heap-organized tables in a locally managed tablespace, the database defers table segment creation until the first row is inserted.
In addition, segment creation is deferred for any LOB columns of the table, any indexes created implicitly as part of table creation, and any indexes subsequently explicitly created on the table.
Note:
In Release 11.2.0.1, deferred segment creation is not supported for partitioned tables. This restriction is removed in release 11.2.0.2 and later.
>
That is why it is MANDATORY that posters provide their 4 digit Oracle versions. There are too many features that depend on the version being used.

  • Yosemite - strange behavior for all-day events in iCal

    I have been using previous versions of MacOS with my corporate exchange server for quite a while with no issues.  After  the upgrade to Yosemite i have found an odd behavior with inserting all-day events into the exchange calendar.  Same results on MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, both worked fine with Mavericks and now have this issue with Yosemite
    My previous workflow was to double click in the upper bar in calendar, open an event in the all-day area, type  in what I wanted to say, select the exchange calendar from the pull down (I have multiple calendars) and the event was done.
    Now when I do this when I switch the event to the exchange calendar I get  this error message:
    If I select OK the event is then transformed to a 12:00-1:00 meeting and a note is added to the  notes that the time zone isn't right
    Note: the meeting does go into the calendar in Pacific time (my default) and I can edit the event back to an all-day and remove the junk from notes and it stores away like it should.  But this is quite annoying
    Any suggestions

    I have the very same issue. I solved it once somehow but now it's back. I use Plaxo to sync between Outlook-iCal-iPhone and maybe that somehow has confused the phone. Let me know if you find any solutions. I will do the same.

  • Strange Behavior for web deployment of Anyconnect essentials

    We've got a weird problem that has popped up and we've been unable to figure out what's going on.
    We have instructed our user community to start their VPN sessions by connecting to our ASA 5520 with a browser to download (if necessary) and initiate the Anyconnect essentials VPN client.  Everything was working fine until a few days ago.
    We have had several people report the same problem.  They connect with the browser, enter their login information and are greeted with our "authorized use only" message by the ASA.  Then, instead of downloading (if necessary) and starting the VPN client software, the web page just goes back to the login prompt without displaying any error message.  The client software is never downloaded or started.
    We've been able to work around this by installing the client software manually (where necessary) and starting the VPN client from the start menu.  However, this isn't our preferred solution because this method won't have them automatically picking up updated versions of the VPN client. 
    We have seen this behavior before when there was a pending Java update that had not been applied.  However, that doesn't seem to be the case this time.  Clients have recently updated to IE9, but I have personnally been running the Anyconnect client and launching through IE9 for months.
    Any ideas about what's wrong or how to debug this?
    Thanks
    Patrick

    Hi Patrick,
    Ideally, when you have Anyconnect Essentials enabled on the ASA, you cannot get access to the Clientless VPN (Web Portal access to the internal resources) however the Web Launch of the Anyconnect client does work with it.
    I see that you have implemented this a different way (workaround) by manually installing the Anyconnect VPN clients on the machines and then trying to connect it to the ASA, which works and this means that configuration on the ASA for allowing the Anyconnect connection is correct. Now it is not allowing you to launch it from the web portal on machines which means the download access has been restricted somewhere on the ASA.
    Could you please follow these two steps and let me know if you see something different.
    1. Get access to the ASDM and follow this: Configuration>>Remote Access>>Anyconnect>>Edit the tunnel-group on which you connection is landing>>Login setting. Please check if it says go to the clientless portal or launch Anyconnect. It has to be Download Anyconnect automatically.
    2. If you are not getting the prompt for the username and password on the webportal then go to Configuration>>Remote Access>>Clientless (not sure if it is under Anyconnect or clientless, please check both) where you get option: shut down portal login on the main page. Please make sure that it is unchecked.
    In your case I see that the users are getting prompt for the username and password however when you authenticate yourself you are getting error message: authorized use only then it could be something to do with the DAP Policies (dynamic access policy).
    Go to the dynamic access policies and you will get an option named as Anyconnect (please check if the correct option is checked under the same). If multiple dap policies are configured then please check the dap policy which gets pushed when the user logs in and make changes to that specific dap policy.
    Please let me know if this help else I would request you to open a TAC request and we will look into this issue. If you find something different then please share here.
    Thanks,

  • Strange behavior for volume in calls.

    I have some users with a strange problem, this do not apply to all my users. This is the problem reported from the local admin:
    Symptoms:
    When a user is called internally or by an external party, the call volume will sometimes start off quiet, and may continue to be quiet for the whole call or may jump in volume suddenly during the call.
    Cause:
    I have not determined the cause, and It is not re-creatable at will, but I have experienced it myself on several occasions. The users affected are using Lync certified headsets or handsets, it happens on both. By troubleshooting I am fairly certain this is
    software related and its either Lync or the interaction between Lync and the Windows sound mixer/drivers.
    Resolution:
    I cannot resolve this issue, but have discovered a temporary work around. When receiving a call that is quiet in volume if you open Lync and click on the settings icon, the volume jumps up to normal levels at this point, usually you only have to do this once
    and calls during the rest of the day are ok, but you have to do this every day.
    Conclusion:
    I cannot be certain if this is a Polycomm driver issue, a Microsoft driver or software issue or something else but users have complained about it on and off since they migrated to Lync EV.
    Anyone having ideas on this one?

    Right click volume icon in taskbar, select Sounds, click Communications tab, check the option “Mute all other sounds” is not selected.

  • Time Machine wants 16 days to do an initial backup.  ps shows PRI = 33 with NI = 0.   But I can not get sudo renice to set PRI less than 15.  And renice sets NI directly with strange behavior for PRI. Any suggestions?

    Time Machine said it would take 16 days to do an initial backup, and indeed, after many days it is less than a quarter done.   (The problem started when I put in a new bank disk for Time Machine to write to for its backup file.)
    Activity Monitor shows that the process name is   backups   with Process ID   6060.
    Then putting this PID in Terminal UNIX command ps gave:
    EdsMacPro-1:~ ed$ ps -l -p 6060
      UID   PID  PPID        F CPU PRI NI       SZ    RSS ...
        0  6060     1  1004004   0  33  0  2556488  29040 ...
    Wow!  A priority of 33! 
    Don't know how that happened, but the way to fix that (I thought) is with renice. 
    But renice doesn't work.
    After a lot of playing with renice and ps, it looks as though renice can not make the priority better than (no less than) 15.
    And the parameter you put in, that according to the man page that is supposed to be priority, turns out to be "nice index", with priority changed by sometimes subtracting or sometimes adding either this number or twice this number - down to a limit of priority no less than 15.
    EdsMacPro-1:~ ed$ ps -l -p 6060
      UID   PID  PPID        F CPU PRI NI       SZ    RSS ...
        0  6060     1  1004004   0  33  0  2556488  29040 ...

    This is with OSX 10.7.5 and Terminal 2.2.3 on an early 2009 Mac Pro with lots of memory.
    What am I dong wrong, and any suggestions for how to fix my Time Machine process?

    The backup file size is 1.67 TB.*
    That's across the internal bus of a 2009 quad-core Mac Pro - which is pretty fast.
    Copying an hour's worth of MPEG-2 HD takes about a minute.
    I do a fresh backup from scratch about once a year, and the last time it finished over night.
    This time the first Time Machine backup is only about 1/5 complete after many days, and Activity Monitor shows essentially no use of disk drives or of CPU.  And in the first note I pointed out what is gleaned by using Terminal to execute the UNIX ps command. The priority of the running Time Machine process looks incorrect to me. 
    I could be wrong, but I think the problem is process priority, not file size.
    I am unable to set priority to 0 or a negative number.  Can someone straighten me out on how to do that?
    [*The machine has four 1.5 TB disk drives in it plus lots of memory.  Two of the physical drives are configured as one 3 TB backup drive (RAID concatanated).]

  • Strange behavior of BAPI_SALESORDER_SIMULATE

    Hi All,
    I am using standard BAPI - BAPI_SALESORDER_SIMULATE , to simulate the sales order creation.
    But this BAPI gives strange behavior for different customers but same material combination.
    I get incorrect schedule line for one customer.
    The material is a non-stock material and purchase requisition is generated for each material to vendor.
    The sales area is same for both the customers, while executing the BAPI.
    However, for same material but for different customer, schedule line appears incorrect and different for these two customers.
    Can you help me on this ?
    Thanks,

  • Safari 5.1 strange auto-reloading behavior for tabs in the background

    hi guys.
    I have been encountering this strange behavior recently. I had thought it could be something wrong with my system, until yesterday i upgraded my Safari for Windows to the v.5.1 on a Windows XP laptop, and found the same issue. Now i guess I can be quite certain this is a safari issue.
    System info:
    1. Macbook Pro 17", OSX 10.6.8, 64bit boot (i have 8GB RAM).
    2. Safari (Mac) is the lastest version (as updated by the Auto update), run in the default 64bit mode.
    3. The windows machine is an old Thinkpad T60 with Windows XP Pro SP3. The Safari for windows is Safari 5.1 (7534.50), also updated by auto update.
    4. I have not installed any Safari extensions/plugs that feature an auto-reloading -- as such behavior was never seen before i upgrade to Safari 5.1
    Since i mostly work on mac the mac has been kept most updated. But the windows machine which i use now and then, i don't update everything very frequently. And the earlier Safari 5.0 worked fine without the current issue.
    Symptoms
    1. Let's say I have 1 Safari window open with 5 tabs, and I have been working on the 4th tab for a while, and left the other 4 tabs "idling" in the background.
    2. And then i want to switch to another tab: click on that tab, and that tab will come to the foreground while being automatically refreshed.
    3. It looks to me this behavior happens after the inactive tabs have been idling longer than a certain period of time - then if you switch to them, they will be switched to and in the same time auto-reloaded. But I still don't know how long it needs for the "idling" before an auto-reloading "threshold" is triggered.
    4. In the beginning this was just on the Mac Safari (and i hadn't updated safari on the windows). But after I updated safari for WIN yesterday, i found the same behavior today.
    5. I checked all the Preferences settings and didnt find any option that indicates this behaviors.
    Guys. any ideas? anyone have the same trouble? Thanks a lot guys. This is really annoying.

    I'm running Safari 5.1 / SL v10.6.8 on one Mac with Glims installed and I never have a problem with tabs auto reloading. You might want to give it a try.
    It's free!
    http://www.machangout.com/
    Once the software is installed you can access the settings from Safari / Preferences - Glims.
    If you don't like the software you can use their uninstaller here.
    Hi Carolyn thanks a lot for the idea.
    The weird thing is... after i tried to uninstall and re-install a few apps the "auto-loading" behavior disappeared ... guess something was interfereing with safari 5.1...
    But thanks for recommending Glims. I took a quick look at the website and it looks great. will do some more research before i start using it. Thanks for the recomm!

  • No Alarms Work/ical alarms not firing. I have a solution that worked for me

    If anyone has had a look at this thread and still not found a solution...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1215043&start=30&tstart=0
    try this (busycal)...
    http://www.busymac.com/index.html
    I was having serious problems with my iCal alarms. They just weren't firing reliably, and I tried so many things to get it fixed. Nothing worked until I installed busycal. it's perfect! It's been totally rock solid for 20 or so days and I just purchased a full licence. Has very neat features like LAN sharing and google cal syncing. Even if it didn't need these features, I'd still use it because I rely on alarms firing, and busycal does it without issues. Support is also excellent (they email quickly, with accurate/helpful replies, and they've even made suggestions to me about settings I can change to make everything run more smoothly. amazing!) the quality of support, frequent updates and reliable alarms is worth the small registration price along!
    and no, i don't work for them, i'm just a very happy user and hopefully it will help some other frustrated ical users out there!

    try busycal support. they really are excellent and i'm sure they can help u work towards a solution. click "email support" in the busycal help menu.

  • I get a strange behavior of the tab bar and of the location bar in Firefox 29.0 for Mac.

    I have just installed Firefox 29.0 for Mac.
    I get a strange behavior of the tab bar and of the location bar with this new version.
    Instead of the location bar, I get two rows of symbols. And it's impossible to write anything in the location bar.
    (I'd like to add a screenshot, but I cannot find a way to do it.)

    Thank you for your tip.
    I found the culprit: it was an extension called RSS Icon 1.0.6.
    I removed it and now Firefox 29.0 is working perfectly.
    Now I'll have to find a replacement for that extension.
    Thank you once again. Your tip was essential.

  • Disable ical alarms temporarily (e. g. for 2 hours) by apple script ?

    Hi,
    I'm searching for a way to disable the ical alarm pop-ups temporarily (e. g. for 2 hours).
    Is there a way to do that?
    Why?
    For people giving presentations with MS PowerPoint or Keynote it might be a problem if during the talk a window pops open - maybe even with private content..
    I know that there is the option in the preferences, but once I used it I forgot to re-activate the alarms, so it would be better to define for how long the alarms will be disabled before.
    Does anyone know how to do that?
    If there's no complete solution, it would at least be interesting to know how to access this option by AppleScript.
    Martin

    My iCal is up to date in OSX Lion and the script below is working for me. It doesn't actually take time into account, like beckmart had wanted and I'm not very applescript savvy so I just put it into an automator workflow using the script twice with a "pause" in between.
    tell application "iCal" to activate
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "iCal"
              click menu item 3 of menu 1 of menu bar item 2 of menu bar 1
              click button 3 of tool bar 1 of window 1
              click checkbox 1 of window 1
              click menu item 10 of menu 1 of menu bar item 3 of menu bar 1
    end tell
    tell application "iCal" to quit

  • ICal alarm setting for Discovery TOPGEAR

    Does anyone know if there is a ICal alarm thingy that can remind me about TOPGEAR on DISCOVERY channel.

  • ICal Alarm on desktop won't go away

    An iCal Alarm notice came up on my desktop. Usually one can cancel or close that notification box. But, this time the notice box will NOT go away. I can't close it, move it, delete it or anything else.
    How can I get it to close - get if off my desktop?? Nothing so far has worked.

    baronpilot,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Nothing so far has worked.
    Could you clarify your troubleshooting steps...what have you tried so far?
    In the meantime since I do not know what you have tried:
    The first and easiest troubleshooting step involves replacing/refreshing the com.apple.iCal.plist file.
    Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

  • ICal Alarms not working in iPod

    Around six months ago iCal alarms stopped working on my iPod.
    They do not even show up when I view a To Do or Event on my iPod. This happened all of a sudden and I have never changed any settings other than installing standard updates. I cannot recall if it was around the same time as an update. I use iCal 2.0.5 (1069). I was using a 60G iPod when this occurred. My new 80G has the same problem.
    Any ideas? I have searched everywhere(!) to no avail.
    I am very keen to get this feature back. Any suggestions most welcome. Thanks in advance!
    (This is my first post/question on here. I apologise if I have posted in the wrong place or asked a stupid question.)

    Believe me when I saw I have tried everything! I am not technically minded though I have covered all bases. I am just anxious to get this great feature back. It just seems strange that I am the only one with issues. This happened with my 60G then right through to now. I am actually on my second 80G as the first's battery failed after a month.

  • Strange behavior of system with enabled FileVault2, Roaming profile

    Hello,
    I have encountered strange behavor of my Macbook Air after some testing.
    Macbook Air 2012 was newly installed with 10.8.4 and joined network account server on 10.8.4 server with Roaming profile (synced with server home directory). After installing some basic apps like iWork I turned on FileVault.
    Then I start to have the strange behavior - iWorks are not displaying content of document - it seams blank - just white screen without any borders where should be at least lines in numbers or empty cells.
    Another display problem is in Safari. On same pages (even default Top SItes) it`s flashing and especially when scrolling.
    Did you encountered something similar? I`m not able to get rid of it.
    Computers was used for some time before turining on FIle Vault and problem started to occur after this action. Disabling of FileVault didn`t helped (properly restarted between steps).
    I didn`t found anything strange in Console or elsewhere..

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
