Using iCal, and Contacts on iPhone and Mac

I love that I can take my contacts, and add a birthday to them, but how come birthdays don't show up in my Calender? Is there any way to see this info without looking directly at the address card in the contact screen?
Thanks!

O.k., back on my MAC so here's what you do:
1. Set Birthday's on in iCal. On iCal go to iCal.Preferences.General and click on the Show Birthdays check box. This will add a Birthday's Calendar to your iCal which will show any birthdays loaded to your contacts.
2. iTunes - when you connect the iPhone access the Info folder on the iPhone and either select Sync al calendars or selected calendars that include the Birthday's calendar.

I just started using iCal and I cannot double-click to add an event. Did I accidentally change something?

I just started using iCal and I cannot double-click to add an event. I could when I started a couple of hours ago. Did I change something? Can I change it back?

Kristacattack,
The tracing results in separate paths. The straight lines show where the open filled paths start and end.
In the first sample, you may drag with the Direct Selection Tool over the top where the straight lines meet and Ctrl/Cmd+J to join the the paths; you may do the same elsewhere to create continuous/closed paths (hopefully, you will only drag over the two endpoints, otherwise you will have to find and delete superfluous Anchor Points).
This may be better than just cheating with the Live Paint Tool because the artwork becomes more coherent.

How can I transfer contacts from IPHone to Mac?,

First of all, thanks to everyone who will help me.
I syncronised many times my Iphone 3GS with Mac and everything was OK (apart that I found all the contacts twice or 3 times in Iphone).
I backuped Iphone sometimes on the Mac and others on ICloud.
Last time, I found that the adress book in Mac was almost completely empty (only 10 or so contacts, all the groups empty) but I have everything in the IPhone.
How can I now get to transfer all the contacts from IPhone to Mac?
Thanks again
Anna

Deleted the contacts from where? The device? the computer? both?
Use the backup of the computer to put them back if they have been deleted off the computer. Once that is done, they can be synced to the iPhone.

How to using ical with two separate iphones

hello
trying to understand and learn how to use Ical with 2 different Iphones, using Icloud.

To sync iCal across computers, the calendar needs to be published to a server. This can be a local server that you can set up, or it can be something like google or microsoft exchange or apple's mobile me. The best bet may be to wait until fall and see what iCloud offers!
Sharing your screen can be accomplished a few different ways. You can have two iChat accounts set up, and have one logged in on each computer, and then use iChat's screen share feature. The other way is to go to System Preferences, Sharing, and then check the box next to Screen Sharing. You may have to adjust some of the settings in there, but give that a shot.

How to transfer SMS and Contacts from iPhone to Mac?

I want to transfer my all important SMS and Contacts to computer on Mac because the box is full for a few days.So i am looking for the effective program to help me back up my stuffs. Having said that, any suggestions for a good iPhone manager/iPhone transfer software,which is better to be free without payment.
I'm desperate any help would be appreciated...

Google "PhoneView" or "iPhone Explorer" but you should be syncing your contacts with your Mac's Address Book anyway via iTunes or MobileMe. That's the way it is designed to be used.

ICal and .Mac

How come iCal doesn't work with .Mac the way Address Book, Mail, and Bookmarks do? It seems like I should be able to sync my iCal with .Mac and see it on the .Mac website. Instead I have to publish a Calendar and go to a separate link. Not that big of a deal, but it doesn't support colors and it's not as nice as the Address Book or Mail features of .Mac. It doesn't make sense that on the .Mac welcome page I hit the Mail icon to get my webmail, the Address Book icon to get my contacts online, the Bookmark icon to get my Safari Bookmarks online--but when I hit the iCal icon, it goes to an advertisement about iCal.
I understand the need for a link so others can share your Calendar. That's cool. But you should also be able to access your iCal via the .Mac welcome page. And today's appointments should be listed in the welcome page.

shadowbox,
I agree with all of your astute observations, but since this is a user-to-user forum the best we can do is commiserate with you and recommend that you use iCal Feedback.

ICal and .mac update frequency

I'd like to begin using iCal but would prefer the synching via .mac to be much quicker... 10 minute intervals perhaps.
1.) I've looked but cannot find a clear definition of the setting within SYSTEM PREFERENCES:.Mac:Sync with .Mac "AUTOMATICALLY" means.
Can anyone explain?

Selecting 'Automatically' in the .Mac Sync construct means that your computer will synchronize with .Mac…
• whenever you make a change to a record in iCal, the Address Book or to any other data which you have selected for synchronization
• whenever another Macintosh in your device pool synchronizes with .Mac
• and, in any event, no less frequently than once each hour.
If you want rapid synchronization in response to data entry activity, then choose 'Automatically' for the interval.

Using iCal and trying to sync automatically to google cal

I mostly use iCal to add events and would like those events to appear automatically in google cal without having to backup/import them (which is what I'm doing now). I tried several settings but nothing seems to work. I either end up with duplicated data in my iCal or nothing happens.
Does anybody know how to set up this? I guess it's something simple but I cannot get it right.
Any help appreaciated.
Thanks!

Create main folder e.g. Folder A, then sub-folders inside A e.g. B, C, D and have your Photos in B, C, D.
In iTunes Sync, click your device on the left Pane, then on right pane select "Photo" tab.
Make sure Sync photo box is checked, then select folder A, then All folders box within the selection.
Click Apply or Sync button at the lower right window.
you will have B,C,D folders under Albums.

Missing shared calendars using iCal and OS X Mountain Lion

My wife and I sharing our family calendars using iCloud. I created some of them and shared them ith my wife and she created others as well and shared them with me. Up here, business as usual :-)
I'm not sure about the concrete time it happens, but for a while I'm missing the calenders of my wife in the +-Menu of iCal and today my wife told me, shes missing my cals, too.
Using our mobile devices (iPad, iPod) we are both able to create new events in every calender. A new event created in my own calendars is editable and can be moved into one of the shared cals of my wife.
Anyone out there having a solution for this?
Thanks
Stephan

The following is a summary of other posts: It helped some of us. Try it out!
1. Make a backup ( a) Time Machine, b) Export > Archive iCal) Close iCal
2. In Finder hold down alt-Key while choosing "Go to..." menu
3. Select Library
4. In the folder Calendar delete the files
Calendar Sync Changes
Calendar Cache
5. In the folder Preferences delete the files
com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
com.apple.iCal.plist
com.apple.iCalExternalSync.plist
com.apple.syncserver.plist
(not sure which one is the bad guy, but it did not hurt to erase all of them)
6. Start iCal, it will update itself.

WVC54GC and VLC (how to succefully view the cammera using linux and MAC

Hi all,
I have recently purchased a WVC54GC, i'm still trying to find out how to grab stills.
Here is however a better way to view the video without using IE and the expired activeX.
Download VLC for your favourite OS at:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
open it, and go to File->Open Network, and type
your_cammera_ip/img/video.asf
in the HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/MMS box.
have fun,

For anyone else who stumbles across this, I can confirm that you CAN use this camera under OS X or Linux with both VLC and MPlayer. The trick is that neither VLC nor MPlayer knows how to prompt you for a username and password if you restrict access to the camera to only certain users (which explains why it seems to work for some people and not for others.
I posted full details of how I configured and connected to the camera from OS X at http://www.jasonkohles.com/writings/wvc54gc-osx-linux, but here is the nutshell version...
There are two URLs that this camera can provide video from:
http://camera.address/img/video.asf and
http://camera.address/img/mjpeg.cgi
They both work in VLC and MPlayer just like that (except for putting in the real address) IF you allow access to the video to everyone. If you have created usernames and passwords to restrict access to the video, VLC and MPlayer don't know how to prompt you for that information, so you have to provide it in the URL, like so...
http:// username : password @ camera.address /img/video.asf
OK, I gave up trying to get the forum to not turn a colon and a p into a smiley face, so just remove any spaces from that url...Message Edited by jasonkohles on 01-18-200701:38 PM

Update contacts on Iphone or Mac?

Do I update contact information on my Iphone or mac?

You can do either. Contacts updated on your phone will automatically be updated in your Address Book, and vice versa. If you are using iCloud, changes you make to contacts on one device will sync to the other devices.

ICal and .Mac - using the calendar on the Web

I had fondly imagine when I filled out my calendar on my home Mac and published it to .Mac that I could not only view it when I am at work (where I have to use a pc) but also add in calendar info that I have have access to only when I am at work, so that the calendar is complete.
If this is meant to be possible I haven't figured out how -can any one help?
If not possible it does seem to detract quite significantly from what might otherwise be a useful tool. In fact I can't imagine why this ability would not be built in as it seems starkly obvious that if you have access to your calendar over the web, you must want to be be able to edit it over the web?? Or have I missed something?

Why oh why doesn't some enterprising person or company (I'm looking at YOU Apple) please make this work. How many people share this problem? I have a PC at work, my finance has a PC at work, we both use our Mac at home.
If there's a way to share out Outlook calendars with our iCal calendars I swear I'd do a happy dance.

Contacts and calendar using pc and mac

I have a Mac at home and PC at work. I want to be able to copy/update my contacts and calendar from work on my ipod. How can I do this (easiest possible way).
thanks

the easiest way around this would be to export your contacts as a vCard from the software at your work and email them to yourself at home. then just drag them into the "Contacts" folder in you ipod. i don't think there is any easier way to do it.
hope that helps,
