Tasks in iCal XML: Anyone know why?

Hi,
I love the fact we have VCF as a standard for exchanging contacts and ICS as a standard for exchanging schedules, but I'm perplexed why there is no standard for tasks. To that end, does anyone in this forum have a notion why Apple chose to embed tasks within the ICS XML definition? I'm not challenging it. RTM (remember the milk) seems to do the same thing. Is this common practice? Just something that RTM and Apple are doing?
Does anyone have pointers to more info?
Thanks,
G4M

Do you mean ToDos when you refer to tasks? If so, they are part of the iCal standard (RFC 2445)

My friend and I share an iCal calendar through iCloud. Until recently, we would receive email notifications if either of us made changes to or added an event to the iCal calendar. Does anyone know why those email notifications stopped?

My friend and I share an iCal calendar through iCloud. Until recently, we received email notificiations anytime either of us made changes to exisiting calendar events or added new items to the calendar. Does anyone know why these email notificiations stopped?

iCloud was experiencing problems with this a couple of days ago, where many users with shared calendars were getting email notifications even though their iCloud settings did not select to receive them. Perhaps when they fixed this problem it reverted your settings to not receive email notifications. Got to iCloud and check your setting for this. If it still look correct, try turning off email notifications, save the change, then turn them back on again and save the change again.

The autofill feature worked on my iPad 2, but not on the New iPad. Anyone know why?

The autofill feature worked on my iPad 2, but not on the New iPad. Anyone know why?

Go to Settings>Safari>Auto Fill>On .... Names and Passwords>On .... Use Contact Info>On. Make sure that your contact information is correct.
Then quit Settings and Safari completely and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
See if that helps.

Hi, I have purchased an audio book on iTunes from an iMac and it does not show up on the cloud so I can't download it on my iPhone. Does anyone know why and how I can proceed to transfer the audio book purchase?

Hi
I have purchased an audio book from iTunes with my iMac.
Now I wanted to listen to it on my iPhone so I proceeded to transfer the purchase and looked for the book in the purchased section of the store in the iTunes on my iPhone but it did not show up.
Does anyone know why and how I can transfer the audio book purchased on my iPhone so I can listen while away from the desk?
Thank you,
Sanya

Can you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books.

Hello i recently had a virus on my pc so i had to restart it to factory settings, while doing that i realized that my itunes got erased too so now im trying to download itunes but it wont do it correctly does anyone know why?

after restoring my laptop pc to factory settings i noticed my itunes was also removed ever since then i have been trying to install again and ive been having problems, for instance it first said that something named "mobile device service" wasn not installed properly so i went to control panel and had it installed again. Then i ran itunes and everything seems to work but i plug in my iphone and itunes wont sync it nor is any of my apps or music in it. my iphone does show up but other than me being able to see the front page where it shows my basic iphone info it wont do anything else... does anyone know why my itunes wont sync my iphone? usually when you plug in a phone it should ask to sync.

Podcasts from Current Tv, since three weeks prior to the Nov 2012 election have had a url problem and cannot be played on my mac mini 2011 with 10.8.2 and the latest Itunes? anyone know why> ? I am in contact with Itunes now and they wanted screenshots of the problem, I can get these current tv episodes with a vpn and my isp says they are not blocking them, but i was surprised that prior to the election they were blocked, ?
I also can get them on my Android Samsung Galaxy note 2 with no problem but on the Macmini cannot>/? I Unsubscribed and subscribed many times but still no luck, any ideas? I am waiting for the senior advisor to get back to me on this issue. I am in THailand now where the problem is happening and as I said the ISP says they do not block any podcasts.I also do not want it on my iphone 5, so I have to wait and see why the mac mini is not getting it.

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

When I bootup the icon for Elements shows up in orange. It changes to green only when I've gone to Finder and clicked on Elelments under the Devices list. This is a recent development. The icon used to be green upon bootup. Does anyone know why ?

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

Does anyone know why some Apps won't load unless I buy a new App?

I've been following a couple of threads. It seems some users, myself included, have a problem where certain Apps will not load. They simply start to open and then return back to the Home screen immediately. When it happens to me (maybe once per week) it's always the same Apps which refuse to load, and they ALL do it - Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Garageband, iMovie, Shareplus all stop working. The reported fix from all users is to go to the AppStore and either update, or buy another App - even a free one. Then all Apps work again properly. It started happening for me after upgrading to iOS 5 but many users had the same issue prior to iOS 5.
So my question is, does anyone know why this is happening? I don't want to find myself out of 3G signal, or abroad when I've turned Data off, and unable to use my Apps. The fix is useful, but I can't understand why we even need a fix. Suggestions?

Have you tried a full reset when this happens? This happens to me on rare occasion and a reset fixes things.

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I can't make any changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?

Am I downloading them from my camera wrong? I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.
Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer.

Hi Kswron,
Have you tried to upgrade IE to 10. I would suggest to install latest updates to IE and upgrade to 10 and check the issue again.

I am batch processing in PS 2014 (watermark and saving as jpeg from ps file). I get the message for some but not all 'this file needs to be saved as a copy with this option'. And then I have to save it manually. Does anyone know why this happens? (It is just a plain photoshop file, a watermark is added, then save as jpeg - the jpeg is saved to a different folder than the original photoshop file.) It happens for about 10 of 30/40 files approximately . Thank you, Kathryn

I believe I have figured it out - I need to flatten the image, even though there are no layers except for layer 0, first.

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

Cannot download songs get error 5002. Does anyone know why this is happening?

I was able to download about 4 new songs today, but then started to get an error 5002 when trying to download a few more. Does anyone know why this happening and how to resolve? I've already shut down and restarted my phone, logged out of itunes and relogged in...neither solved the issue.

It didnt do anything for me...
just to make sure... of the correct step...
rm -rf ./.itmstransporter
then
sudo /Applications/iTunes\ Producer.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes\ Producer
About that folder, I searched for it, but couldnt find it, is it inside the Itunes Producer packages?
is there a way to localize it in finder?

One way to bypass the Gatekeeper is to right or ctrl click on the Installer and choose Open from the Context menu.
Then it will give you that option to run the installer app.
