Turning off Events

Is there any way to not have events being made every time I put a picture into iPhoto. I see how this would be nice to put photos off my camera, but when I am just putting single photos in, it is a huge pain to get a different event for each one... Is there any way that I can either choose to not have the events or get it to combine the events together in some way? In preferences there is an option to have a single event for a day, but that doesn't appear to do anything.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
SOrt of
You can not turn events off
You can make the event time line a week - but if you are importing single photos this really will not help
You can turn off time based splits into events for items imported from the finder, but again if you bring single photos in they will each be an event
What I do is collect the misc photos in a desktop folder and bring several in at once creating just one event that way - then combine that event into an existing event of the same nature (which may be misc photos) or leave it as event on its own
Or you can essentially ignore events and do all of your own organizing with Keywords, albums and folders - this is more the TD way

  • Cannot turn off Event Alerts for shared Google calendars in iOS8

    I am using a Google Apps account for my calendars and through this have access to several shared calendars.
    When I go into the Calendar app in iOS8, I then press the 'Calendars' button at the bottom of my screen, then I am shown all my iCloud calendars in one group then all the calendars from the one Google Apps account together in the next section.
    The iCloud calendars (Home, Work, Family) all have a red next to them, which when I press it, I am able to scroll to the bottom of that screen and switch off 'Event Alerts' under 'Notifications'.
    But there are no marks next to any of the Google Apps calendars.
    This means that all of my shared calendars will give me notifications all the time, and I can’t switch them off.
    Is there any way to turn off event alerts/ notifications for specific shared calendars?
    Many thanks!

    I have iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.3, and this is the solution that's working for me so far. However, I had to use the Calendar app on my Mac OS X (Yosemite) - not sure if there is another option for PC. Basically, I added the shared Google calendar to iCloud and told Google not to sync the shared calendar to my iPhone, so the shared calendar now shows up under the iCloud list of calendars and not the Google list (and thus the option to turn off alerts). Note: the shared calendars I'm using are read-only, so I don't know how well this would work if you need to edit events from iPhone. I hope this helps, and if anyone has a better solution, please share!
    1. Turn on iCloud calendars on iPhone and Mac.
    2. In browser, open the shared Google calendar settings and copy the iCal calendar address URL.
    3. In Mac OS X Calendar app, subscribe to the shared Google calendar. File > New Calendar Subscription > paste shared Google calendar URL > click Subscribe
    4. Set Location to iCloud. I checked Ignore Alerts because I also didn't want them on my Mac.
    5. The shared calendar should now be listed on your iPhone calendars in the iCloud section with the red i.
    6. Press the red i and scroll to the bottom and switch off Event Alerts.
    7. Remove the shared calendar from the Google list by going to https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect and unchecking the shared calendars.

  • How can I turn off Event ID 5156 AND 5145 in the Security Event Log?

    Hi,
    I have a high volume web service.   Everytime there is a connection from the outside, it logs this in my security event log.
    I want to turn this off.
    How can I stop the logging of event id 5156 on the web server and 5145 on the file server?
    Thanks!
    Dane!

    Hi,
    Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums.
    The problem can be related to Audit settings. Please check the following threads to see if the information can be useful during the troubleshooting:

  • How do you turn off event auto-detect?

    Hiya,
    I was originally impressed with, but now rather fed up with Mail on my iPad spotting words that look like dates or times and offering to turn them into iCal events by displaying them as blue underlined links. In some emails I get large portions of the text are proposed days or dates and it makes navigating the text of the email a bit tricky in case I trigger iCal.
    I've looked in the Settings panel for Mail and Calendars but don't see anything that turns this feature off. Is there such a setting somewhere? I really really hope so...
    Cheers,
    Owen

    No there doesn't appear to be.
    Also note that it does the same thing with Adresses (links to maps) and email addresses (send a mail) and phone numbers (contacts).
    I've found it to be a convenient feature, but can understand to desire to turn it off.
    You can suggest this to apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • HT203521 In iOS8 I can't turn off shared iCloud calendar alerts. I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and am constantly getting their alarms for upcoming appointments. Settings- Notifications- Calendar- Shared Calendar Changes turns off changes only.

    Have had new iPhone 6 for 2 months, using iOS 8.  I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and I am getting bombarded with their upcoming appointment alerts.  There seems no way to turn this off.  I went to Settings->Notifications->INCLUDE(Calendar)->Shared Calendar Changes and turned everything off, but this only blocks alerts about new events or changes to events being added to the calendars, it does not block the 5-minute/10-minute/etc. alarms that go off immediately in advance of the appointment.  There used to be a setting in iOS7 in "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" way at the bottom to turn off alarms from shared calendars, but I don't see that in iOS8.  Any ideas?

    Finally figured this out when I read jodiemcneill 's post about Google calendars.  Thanks!
    Reposting the basic idea: to turn off event alerts from shared ICloud calendars, select the Calendar App, then click the "info" (i.e., the circled red 'i') icon next to the shared iCloud calendar to be silenced. Go down to "Notifications" and turn the slider off for "Event Alerts: (Allow events on this calendar to display alerts.)"
    For good measure, you can also turn off the slider for "Show Changes" to prevent the calendar from displaying messages when shared events are added/modified/deleted, although this can be done "globally" for all shared iCloud Calendars in Settings->Notifications->Calendar->Invitations (turn off all sliders, click "none" for Alert Style).
    This has been a major pain in the ... neck ... for the past 3 months.  So glad to start the new year with a suddnely-much-quieter iPhone 6.

  • Firewall keeps turning off

    Hello to the very smart and talented programmers and microsoft engineers,
    Power user here with Windows 10 TP x64 on my Asus x401a laptop.  Everything is working pretty well, just noticing that my firewall keps going offline quite often resulting on the action center alerting me to turn it on.
    It appears the firewall stays on for public connections but is off for private connections.  I am currently connected to my home router which is set as a private network.  The firewall also turned off during times where I was connected to a public
    network.  When this happened, I did not receive an action center alert because the current firewall settings (public on, private off) did not affect the current network (which was public)
    Just thought I'd put that out there.  I can always run a script that can check the status and turn it on if it is off so no biggy, but what can I do to log the 'private firewall turn off' event?  I don't know what event ID to look for.
    Thanks and so far Win 9 ;) I mean, 10 TP is lovely! I LOVE the new hybrid start menu/taskbar and 4 window snap.  4 win snap is kind of a let down on screens with resolutions lower than 1080p, the preview pane becomes a bit of a visual real estate hog
    but that's an easy fix.  Otherwise, bravo.
    Where may I find a list of enhancements to 10 TP over 8??  thanks again!

    Gigaleonza,
    I agree with what
    Ed (DareDevil57) said above.  In addition though to anti-virus software causing the issue, this could also be caused by any security suite of software that you may find with products such as AVG, Symantec or Kaspersky that have their own firewall programs. 
    It could be that one of these is trying to compete with the Windows firewall. Try disabling any such software and see if that makes any difference.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can events confirmation be turned off ?

    can events confirmation be turned off - ie. i dont want the customer to need to confirm, or receive the email request - "Please confirm your booking request"

    Hi Phil,
    Can you explain why this is required? I've set-up an event booking that the customer only can complete when they submit a credit card payment with the booking. In this case seems to me the customer probably assumes that they are 'booked' already if they made a payment.
    I can understand using the booking confirmation if no payment is required as someone could book them without their knowing. But to require it for someone who has provided a credit card payment seems to add another step that may not complete.
    Thanks, Todd

  • Turning off alarms for past events

    I use .Mac to sync my iCal calendars among three computers. Two are laptops which are not always on and one is a Mini which is always on. I use alarms for most of my events and the Mini sends out these alarms just fine. The problem is that when I open iCal on one of the laptops, it sends out a bunch of alarms for past events.
    I have the "Turn off alarms when iCal is not open" box checked on both my laptops. And the iCal scheduler (can't find the exact name) is not running on the laptops and is not in my login apps list.
    What I want is to able to continue to sync iCal but not have the laptops send out alarms. I don't want to delete events after they have past because I like to see past events in the calendar.
    Is it possible to continue to sync via .Mac but turn off all alarms on the laptops? Or is it possible to delete the alarm associated with an event after the event is past? This would not work 100% of the time since I could open iCal on the laptop before the latest sync occurred and the alarm would still be there but it would cut down on the number of old alarm events. This may require an AppleScript and I am totally ignorant about coding AppleScript.
    Thanks.

  • My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

    My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
    I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
    I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
    It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
    one more bug in a complicated system I guess

  • Problmes with wifi turn off with disable greyish in window 8.1 pro 9600

    Hi, 
    I updated window 8 to window 8.1 pro build 9600 version.
    I am getting a problem with WIFI turn off disable grayish color which cannot be enabled.
    WIFI adapter is installed and working properly.
    Plz suggest what will be the fix of this issue.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Did you mean the Adapter is greyed out and we cannot click to turn on it? Is there a wifi switch on your laptop? If so, please turn on it first.
    Also please try the network troubleshooter to see if the issue can be fixed:
    1) Right Click network icon in taskbar and select "open network and sharing center"
    2) Highlight wifi connection then at top click "Diagnose this connection"
    The troubleshooter will discover that the WiFi connection is turned off and offer a "Apply fix" option click that and windows will enable the wifi connection.
    To make sure the driver for Network adapter is the right one, please go to manufacturer’s website to see if there is the one compatible with Windows 8.1.
    If not, we can try to install the one applied to Windows 8 in compatible mode to see what’s going on.
    Since such issue can be caused by driver bug, please also contact the manufacturer to see if they can provide more information about this issue.

  • 2 day old iphone 5s turns off at 95% battery life and will not turn back on. HELP

    So I had an iphone 4s for two years, the battery started to not last as long, so with my upgrade I got the iphone 5s (greatttt). Anyways I had it for a month then all of a sudden I wasn't getting calls, it took over a minute for me to even get a call to send, then once I was on the call others couldn't hear me well, then it would drop (no problems with service, always happened with full bars).  Brought it to Apple store, they told me it was a combination between the phone and my SIM card.  They gave me a new one and recommended I go to verizon to get a new SIM card.  That same day literally 3 hours later, the phone turned off randomly at 65% battery and WOULD NOT turn back on.  I had to go back to the apple store, they restored my phone and almost gave me another new one. However they tested the battery and everything and came to the conclusion it was okay and that I needed to restore the phone and set it up as if I did not already have an iphone (not use icloud to bring EVERYTHING over) So we did that and it started to work, that was two days ago.  Over the course of the last two days I have SLOWLY downloaded my previous APPS, however the only way to download those are to do it from the "cloud" because apparently I can't just get them from the app store.  Well yesterday I got the blue screen of death, however it came back, I thought nothing except that it was over worked.  Tonight it went down to 1%, I left it on the charger until it was at 96%.  I had NO APPS open. Went to my calendar and added a event for tomorrow, put my phone down and then ten minutes later looked at it and its turned off.  It will not turn on, I tried rebooting pressing both buttons, Ive plugged it back it, switched outlets, switched cords, NOTHING.
    Of course I wish I never got the iphone 5s at this point.
    What now?
    Back to Apple again?

    Yep.
    Just like cars, you lucked on a lemon.

  • Macbook Pro - WiFi turns OFF and won't turn back ON

    Hello,
    this is my first time posting something on this forum; I will be as detailed as possible. I bought a Macbook Pro back in 2011 and It came with Lion OS. Last year I upgraded it to Mavericks and so far it has been a nice experience. However, in the past week I have experienced a very strange and irrating problem with my macbook. While doing work all of the sudden the WiFi would turn off and lose all connection to the web. I attempted to turn it back ON by clicking on the wifi signal icon but something weird occured, it was still 'ON' according to my mac and the only option available was to actually turn it OFF, so i clicked on it and the icon would go empty with no curvy lines (i attached a picture). Then i clicked again on the icon to turn it back on, however, as was doomed to remain in this state cause no matter what I tried.. the wifi will remain off even after clicking on the 'turn wifi on' option multiple times. I tried going to the assist me option under network preferences and I obtained multiple results with no fix. I tried sending my mac to sleep though at first seemed to fix the problem.. the wifi inmediately went back to being off and wont catch a signal. The only thing that fixes this is a fresh restart which is annoying and unacceptable...this is really annoying and I need a solution asap because this problem is become very frequent (once every 2 hours)... any help will be appreciated it.
    I attached 2 pictures and the console log when this happened.
    1. A picture of my assist me window before i sent it to sleep, shows the WiFi on the left with the 'Failed' (which confuses me). it also shows the wifi icon empty ( like it was off) but the computer shows as if it was on and would ask you to turn it off... weird?
    A second picture after I sent my mac to sleep. Though it seems like there was no wifi signal available, the router was on and literally next to my mac...but my machine wont catch up the signal. (other devices were connected to the wifi and have no problem with it).
    Here is the console log right before and after my this problem occured:

    Thank you for your detailed troubleshooting attempts.  Very helpful.  Sorry, I cannot read "logs."  My eyes just glass over on those things.  Hopefully, a knowledgeable user will come along shortly to decipher for you.
    I noticed from the pics that your location setting is "untitled."  Have you tried the "Automatic" setting?  Run the diagnostic test?  Results?
    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

  • Is turning off iFrames via about:config browser.frames.enabled;false broken in Firefox 23?

    I noticed that Firefox with version 23 removed option to turn OFF JavaScriipt from Tools > Options > Content menu
    http://www.extremetech.com/computing/163291-firefox-23-finally-kills-the-blink-tag-removes-ability-to-turn-off-javascript-introduces-new-logo
    Recent events when allegedly FBI used JavaScript in iframe to exploit bug in Firefox with intentions to uncover identity of users of TOR network encouraged me to play with security settings a bit.
    More about how FBI exploited Firefox bug to execute malitious JavaScript on users computers: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-announce/2013-August/000089.html More biased articles can be found in popular media articles. Just google "TOR exploit FBI"
    ISSUE:
    Symptoms:
    I noticed that turning iFrames OFF in about:config > browser.frames.enabled;false seems to not be working as expected. Iframes are still shown and JavaScript in them is executed. Doesnt work even after resterting Firefox.
    Testing:
    I used this pages to test iFrames:
    •https://sites.google.com/site/annuairevin/test-page
    •http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_iframe
    •http://www.quirksmode.org/iframetest.html
    After I turned browser.frames.enabled OFF and restarted I noticed that iFrames are still shown on all 3 pages and JavaScript in them would be executed.
    By blocking IFRAMES with NoScript blocking turned ON (you have to turn forbidding IFRAMES on manually in options http://i.imgur.com/7jctoTW.png) I managed to block IFRAMES on google and w3school pages.
    !!!Text in iframe "Test page in iframe" on quirksmode test page was still shown even after I have frames turned OFF in about:config and I block all scripts and frames and iframes with NoScript.
    If I open same page (http://www.quirksmode.org/iframetest.html) with Opera with iFrames blocked in Preferences, iFrame is not shown at all, browser doesnt even render empty square; but JavaScript in it is executed, if you dont disable JavaScript in Preferences > Advanced.
    I didnt test Chrome at all.
    Possible things that can cause bug:
    •I am using NoScript 2.6.7, I turned it off and on but it is possible that it is overriding Firefox settings in about:config. when you serach about:config for "frames" there are many settings mentioning frames from NoScript and AdBlockPlus.
    •AdBlock Plus 2.3.2? Same reason as NoScript.
    •Fot the first time I noticed Shield in the address bar with "Firefox has blocked content that isnt secure" bubble. http://i.imgur.com/K4FL65n.png. I dont know how long this feature is implemented or what exactly it does, here are some details: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-content-isnt-secure-affect-my-safety?as=u&utm_source=inproduct
    P.S. Just small remark. If that is true: "Finally, Firefox 23 removes the option to disable JavaScript from the Options pane — and if you had JavaScript turned off, it has been turned back on." There should be some warning when Firefox is updated that JS was turned ON. I think that for me FF updated silently without any messages. OR maybe I blatantly closed some windows, i dont remember well.

    The documentation I find on browser.frames.enabled is very vague, but I can't see that it does anything currently. Is this a feature you used successfully in an earlier version?
    The Mixed [Active] Content Blocker was turned on by default in Firefox 23. That would explain the shield icon. Not sure whether implementing that might have changed how iframes are handled.

  • Once I have synced my Google calendar to iCal, can I turn off syncing and save all info in iCal?

    I have been using Google Calendar, and syncing info from it to my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Now that all the info I originally entered into Google Calendar is on my Apple devices, can I turn off syncing it and save all the events, birthdays, etc. that were put into iCal up to this point? I have only been adding to my iCal via the Mac, iPad or iPhone for several months now, so it seems silly to keep using Google Calendar.

    Unless you have backed up your iCal data, there is no way to retrieve the now missing data. To easily back up your calendar data, simply choose the Back up Database… option under the File menu in iCal.
    Microsoft cautions users that deletion of the Entourage calendar in iCal—without first disabling the synchronization function with Entourage—will result in exactly the outcome you see.
    If you have not subsequently synchronized with .Mac since you deleted the iCal calendar, you can selectively restore calendar files as a collection of calendars from .Mac by using the Reset Sync Data… option in the .Mac preference pane by launching System Preferences, pressing the .Mac icon then the Advanced tab, and waiting for your client list to update. Once you've done that, press the Reset Sync Data… button, choose Calendars from the drop down menu and pick the option to replace the data on your Macintosh with data stored on the .Mac servers.

  • How to "In Effect" Turn Off Time Zone on iCal AND main computer

    I am hopeful that this will help those of us who don't want to have any form of Time Zone on our computers or iCal. I read some of the other posts and see that it does not appear an option to completely turn off all Time Zones on the computer and iCal.
    What I am thinking about doing, is trying to "Trick" my computer & ical into thinking it doesn't ever go anywhere and thus leaves all of my appointments where they are - no matter what time zone I am actually in.
    I hope those of you more knowledgable can please help me see if this will work, or not?
    I am hoping that by leaving Time Zone Support turned "Off" in iCal and leaving my computer at a 'manual' Mountain Time Zone (meaning I don't have it set to have it automatically set to the right time - I will set it manually), my appointments will stay put (not move around 8 hours when I go to Italy &/or back to the US)?
    I can set the time "manually" to the correct time when I am in either US or Italy so my computer will reflect the current time, but still be set in Mountain Time Zone? Will the alarms still work on calendar events?
    The only drawback I can see so far, is that all of the times on emails are messed up (i.e., off by 8 hours) when I am actually in Italy because I still do have the main computer time zone set as Mountain Time - US.
    I am willing to live with this (I think?) if it leaves my appointment times alone.
    Someone on a similar thread had wanted iCal to function like a paper planner - that is exactly what I am looking for as well! (it looked like that thread was a bit older, so that's why I posted this new question. It is my first on this type of forum, so forgive me if I am doing something wrong - and please advise! :~)
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I am being driven crazy by, what I suppose to be, the same issue. I have used the Time Zone Support feature to somewhat limited success.
    I frequently travel between different time zones am confused on how to set up iCal to show the times of my events *in the place where they occur*. When I am in LA and I have a concert in Chicago later in the week, I don't need to know what time the Chicago concert is in LA.
    Syncing my Treo 650 adds another problem. Publishing the calendars adds another as the published times are not listed in the time zone where the events occur but rather what time zone my laptop is in.
    This seems simple to me, but I may be missing something. Here are my wishes:
    1. As I travel with my MacBook Pro that I can change my Date and Time preference to actually list the time zone where I am. Easily done...but...
    2. That the event times in iCal are unaffected by the changing of the Date and Time preference adjustment...(after all the concert in Chicago is still at 3pm on Friday, even if I am in Tokyo on Monday. I need to know the time of the Chicago concert in Chicago time, not Tokyo.)
    3. That calendars that I publish list the time in the place where the event occurs. I have students that need to know their lesson times but are consantly confused because the published times reflect whatever time zone I happen to be in...not where the lessons take place.
    4. That when I sync my Treo the event times automatically adjust to whichever time zome the treo picks up off the network time server. When I land in a new time zone, I need to know the the rehearsal starts at 10, in the city where I have just arrived.
    I have recently switched to the Apple PIM apps from Entourage...where, if I never changed the time zone, everything was fine.
    Sorry for the longish cry for help.
    Thanks
