TS3999 making an appointment private

I'd like to be able to manage my appointments on a shared calendar by making some events private. This way others that I share my calendar with can't see the details, but they can see the time is unavailable. How can I do this with the icloud calendar?

The simple but most likely unsatisfying answer to your question is, you cannot do that.

Can i make a calendar appointment private

Hi -
Is there a way to create an appointment and make it private so others can not see it on my shared calendar?
Thank you.

I have this question too. Thanks snozdop. If it is in a private calendar, will it block out the time in the public one? I work in a corporate environment and managing two diaries seems a little backward unless this is somehow automated?

Making section of private site publicly visible

I have one section of an otherwise private iTunes U site that I would like to make visible, because it contains content from our university's radio station and student newspaper that they would like the public to be able to see.
I have set the All and Unauthenticated credentials to have download access on the main site welcome page, and then made sure that this only cascades down to that section and the course pages it contains. I have overridden this download access for All and Unauthenticated to give them no access to other sections, divisions, and course pages.
I am able to link directly to the course pages for the radio station and the newspaper and view/download content without needing to log in. However, when I access the main site welcome page without logging in, all that shows up is my header graphic and my links boxes. The section that I am trying to make public and the course pages it contains do not show up on the main site page as I think they should.
Can anyone help?

Another option is my DW Extension called PasswordProtect6.

Making a function private

Trying to adjust a function in a package to make it private. And then adjust the procedure to utilize the function to display the results of the function
I seem to be going in circles HELP!!!
Thanks
Mat
This is the original Package
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE order_info_pkg IS
FUNCTION ship_name_pf
(p_basket IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2;
PROCEDURE basket_info_pp
(p_basket IN NUMBER,
p_shop OUT NUMBER,
p_date OUT DATE);
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY order_info_pkg IS
FUNCTION ship_name_pf
(p_basket IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
lv_name_txt VARCHAR2(25);
BEGIN
SELECT shipfirstname||' '||shiplastname
INTO lv_name_txt
FROM bb_basket
WHERE idBasket = p_basket;
RETURN lv_name_txt;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Invalid basket id');
END ship_name_pf;
PROCEDURE basket_info_pp
(p_basket IN NUMBER,
p_shop OUT NUMBER,
p_date OUT DATE)
IS
BEGIN

FROM bb_basket
WHERE idbasket = p_basket;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Invalid basket id');
END basket_info_pp;
END;
And this is my adjusted one with the returned errors
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE order_info_pkg IS
PROCEDURE basket_info_pp
(p_basket IN NUMBER,
p_shop OUT NUMBER,
p_date OUT DATE,
p_shipname OUT VARCHAR2);

Hi,
It is because you are trying to use a private function in an SQL statement. Just call the function outside the SQL:
PROCEDURE basket_info_pp
(p_basket IN NUMBER,
p_shop OUT NUMBER,
p_date OUT DATE,
p_shipname OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
BEGIN
SELECT idshopper, dtordered
INTO p_shop, p_date
FROM bb_basket
WHERE idbasket = p_basket;
p_shipname := ship_name_pf(p_basket);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(p_basket||' '||p_shop||' '||p_date||' '||p_shipname);
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Invalid basket id');
END basket_info_pp;
END;

Making a new private network.

I want to build a network - private network. I have 80-90 sites with up to 14 hosts on each site. The hosts comunicate with a server. Not much trafic. Can I use a couple of 2924-XL-EN to connect the sites together? And from the switches a connection to another 2924 where I have the server?

Instead of using a complete layer2 network design, I would start looking at Layer3 segmentation and fault isolation. If all 90 sites were connected with nothing but layer2 switches, you would have issues with STP convergance, broadcast storms, etc. Essentially, a single user with a bad nic or virus could take down the entire network. Depending on your requirements, you could do a hub-and-spoke design and have each site connect to a layer3 router at the hub of your design. From this you can provision subinterfaces per site and allow vlans per site. This would shrink the broadcast domain per site, and reduce the risk of a single site taking out the entire network. The layer3 device at the hub could provide inter-vlan routing to provide communication with all the sites. Or if distance is a factor, you could provision a lower end router per site (1710 or something) and have this router connect to a slightly higher end layer3 device (2800 or something depending on your traffic requirements). This would be a more scalable design and allow you to provide more services in the future. If you wanted to go all out with it, you could provision some kind of 2800 per site with a 3800 at the hub. Then you could run MPLS VPNs. Each site would have a router capable of label imposition and your at your hub, your router could function as a P router. You could also place your server into a central services VRF and do selective import and export of the VPN routes. This gives you the ablility to further segment your network (possibly start selling Internet access or service access to various customers) and still keep everything private.
Hope this helps.

Making a file Private

Is ther anyway to make a file private so that you have to enter your password before someone can open it?

Click here and follow the instructions; don't put the password in the keychain, and unmount the disk image whenever you're finished using it.

Webcenter Spaces - Making page within 'Private' space accessible to public

Hi,
I have create a space within Webcenter Spaces, and set it as a private space. This space is a sub-space of another space which has been set to public.
Within this space, I have create a new "Home" page (which will be the first page that is visible when a user accesses the space).
I have changed the page access method on this page from "Use Application Permissions" to "Use Custom Access settings", and then clicked the "Add Public access Link",
similar to what can be seen in this image:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10149/img/wcsug_gs_setpageacc3.gif
I assume that this should make the page visible to non authenticated users, but when I try to access this space via the DIRECT URL to the space or page (without being logged in), I am redirected to the login page.
I though that this was how it was supposed to work? That you can expose a page within a private space, to public users?
It seems to be explained the same way here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/webcenter.1111/e10149/gspace_build.htm#CHDBHDGJ
I know the above is old documentation, but the newer doco doesn't explain it quite as well.
I am really trying to understand what actually happens when you "Add Public Access" to a page? What does this functionality do?
Or...is there another way I can accomplish this task? I know I can change the space role to give them extra permissions to "View Pages", but I don't want my public users to view ALL the pages in the space (because for example, if they can see the "Discussions" page, but then click on it and don't have access to discussions, it is not a very elegant solution). Ideally I want the users to just see the home page which will just have a description about the space, and if they are interested, then they can join.
Amanda.

Amanda,
first of all, this is a wrong forum. You should have used this one: WebCenter Portal
Second, I think the key sentence is:
Private (Space): People can discover this Space in search results and in the list of available Spaces, and can subscribe to it if invited to join or if self-subscription is enabled.
I'm wondering how do you expect non-authenticated users (thus, not-invited) to access a page, if they cannot see even the space? By space's and page's pretty URL? I'm not sure, but I can guess the system is not designed that way.

I have a 2009 iMac. It is shutting down all the time. I am beyond over this. If no luck with help on here I am making an appointment to have service.

I am getting ready to call and schedule to take imac in for service. Thought I would try on here first. It is shutting down all the time. Its like it just crashes.

Has anyone got the calendar and contact sync with MS Outlook to work?

Office Version:Office 2007Operating System:Windows 7
I've used Outlook for several years. I use the Outlook Connector to link to my hotmail account for mail and Outlook's functionality for contact and calendaring.
Recently my appointments seem to have taken on a life of their own. After entering them they look fine but at some point the appointment title is being changed to "Private Event". I can open the appointment and it looks ok. In fact, the little lock icon for making the appointment private is not enabled so I can find no visable reason for the appointment to be marked private.
I am the only user and I have administrator rights. Also, none of my much older appointments are being changed, most of them being reoccurring appointments that haven't been opened in some time.
It looks like what you might expect if you were a delegate on an Exchange calendar. But in this case my Outlook is just a local, standalone installation with no Exchange server.
I can't be absolutely certain but I think the timing of when this started was a couple of weeks ago when I attempted to set up sync between my iPod Touch and Outlook. I never opened Outlook [that I know of] during the process. I just set the sync options in iTunes to Outlook. Nothing ever got copied over to the iPod but I think that the privacy issue began about the same time.
Any idea what may be causing this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes thats correct & it should showup if already checked.
When I checked the https://p15-calendars.icloud.com/holiday/FR_fr.ics
also https://p15-calendars.icloud.com/holiday/UK_uk.ics ofcourse it could be any page from
p 0- to p 20- but nothing happens from the UK one but the FR it auto downloads does not instal into
Calendar it will ask you for permision first.
I have many calendars too Europe, Asia etc:
This is what info of active Holiday Cal looks like.

How do I make a genius bar appointment?

Bought new iPhone 6 that should arrive around Dec. 5th. I don't have the serial number yet (bought from carrier) but wanted to make a genius bar appointment to transfer info from old to new iPhone. Can I make an appointment without having a serial # yet? Can I make an appointment on line? Thanks ...

Not sure if you can make the appointment now, but the following is the starting point for making an appointment online: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
Regarding the reason for the appointment, the following has instructions on how to transfer data from an old iPhone to a new one via either iCloud or iTunes if you want to consider doing it yourself: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support

Trying to access an object's field but it has private access ! !

Dear People,
I am trying to access the highestBid, a data member of the Bid class
in an Auction program.
If I try to set the highestBid:
bicycle.setHighestBid(steveBicycleBid);
The error message says:
"TryAuction.java": Error #: 306 : method setHighestBid(stan_bluej_ch4p90.Bid) has private access in class stan_bluej_ch4p90.Lot at line 58, column 15
IF I try to get the highest bid by saying:
System.out.println("The highest bid for this item is " + bicycle.getHighestBid() );
I get an object hex address as seen below instead of an integer value:
The highest bid for this item is stan_bluej_ch4p90.Bid@f4a24a

if I try to say

Dear EsoralTrebor,
Thank you very much for an enlightening explanation.
I had never tried to chain methods together before but it works !
anObject.methodOfTheObjectClassThatReturnsAnObjectOfAnotherClass.
methodOfTheObjectClassThatWasReturned();
my output correctly states:
The highest bid for the bicycle is 1510
The highest bid for the lamp is 510
The highest bid for the trailer is 900460
Thank you !
Stan
ps tomorrow I need to study the showLots() method in the Auction class
to figure out why that method is saying "No Bid" to everything
Have a Good Thanksgiving !

What's the best method to make an appointment book?

I have to make a simple appointment book program. Start/end time, and appointment within the start/end time. My first idea was to use ArrayList, but if someone knows of an easier or simpler way, it'd be a great help.

General pointers:
You can do your validations as soon as the user enters the dates.
There are a variety of approaches for storing the appointment information and the one chosen will depend on the functional requirements of your program. Some options include creating an Appointment class that stores start and end dates, as well as information about the event.
(e.g.
public class Appointment{
private Date startTime;
private Date stopTime;
public Appointment(){
public setStartTime(Date d){...}
public setStopTime(Date d){...}
You can store a collection of Appointment objects in any Collections implementation e.g. ArrayList, LinkedList etc. and then search as needed for start and stop times.
You can also separately store the start and stop times as keys in two HashMap<Date,Collection> with each Appointment that start/stops on the date as the values (in a Collection)
(E.g.
/*Check that there is a Collection object associated with the Date object and
store it.*/
//Some where in your code you might have:
HashMap<Date,Collection> myStartAppointments = new HashMap<Date, Collection>();
/*Elsewhere*/
if ((c = myStartAppointments.get(someDate)) != null) {
c.add(newAppointment); //or whatever
else{
c = new ArrayList();
c.add(newAppointment);
myStartAppointments.put(someDate,c);
)To save memory, you might also want to use the Date reference as both the key in the HashMap<Date,Collection> and the instance variable within the Appointment object.
(E.g.
//replace the else{...} with
else {
/*Use the same reference within the Appointment object and HashMap.*/
c = new ArrayList();
newAppointment.setStartDate(someDate);
c.add(newAppointment);
myStartAppointments.put(someDate,c);
}You could actually also remove the Date instance variables entirely from the Appointment class and just depend on your HashMap<Date,Collection> objects.
Of course there are a variety of other approaches, but this can get you started.

Privately Owned and Cascade Delete in DB

HI,
What is the relationship between setting privately owned in Toplink vs creating a cascade delete in Oracle DB? If I've the cascade delete in DB then what is the advantage of setting the privately owned flag in toplink?
Thanks

If you only set the cascade delete option in the database, then TopLink will have no knowledge that the private object was deleted (or that it is private in general). This would mean that TopLink would not remove the private object from the cache or process it as have being deleted. In general this may not cause your app any direct issues if you never read the private object directly as it will eventually garbage collect from the cache.
Making the relationship privately own in TopLink will also ensure the following:
- If you replace the private object with another, or set it to null, TopLink will delete the old object on the update of the source. Cascade delete only works on deletion.
- If the relationship is a 1-m and you remove an object from the collection it will be removed.
- If you refresh the parent object, by default the child will also be refreshed.
- If you merge the parent object, by default the child will also be merged.
