What does the ~ symbol mean next to an event?  I have never seen this before but today when I edited a few events this appeared next to the event.

Greetings,
Hm. I've never seen that in iCal.  In some other Applications the tilde "~" indicates a restore point or a before / after for a file.  My guess is there is a broken cache file in iCal.
Try:
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Region. Region should be set to the country of your choice. Do not have it set to "Custom" as this can have unexpected results in the iCal window.
If that doesn't resolve the issue:
1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
--- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard.  You will see "Library" in the menu.
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

  • Why wont the ipod 4g be geting ios7 bcause i have heard many diferent reasons but i fell like it is cause you want people to buy the ipod 5

    why int thhe ipod touch 4g geting ios 7

    We are all just fellow users here and have no knowledge as to any future updates to iOS 6. If there are, they'll probably be just security update and perhaps bug fixes, with no new features. But we'll just have to wait and see. iOS 5 stopped at 5.1.1, the last version available when iOS 6 was released.

  • ITunes.  After installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean?  Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

    iTunes.  After backing iPod to computer and installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean?  Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

    You can restore your iPod to "New" which will erase every thing and install fresh iOS software or you can restore to a particular backup that you have previously created. In this case, your iPod Apps & data will appear as per the backup. Note that some content is not in a backup and will need to be synced back to the iPad from the iTunes music library or from, for example, the iPhoto photo library.

  • HT201272 What does download all mean on my purchased music from the iTunes Store app?

    What does download all mean on my purchased music from the iTunes Store app?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks only from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
    BTW, are these all recent purchases (last 8 weeks or so) or does it affect older tracks also?

    What does a '0' mean on the home screen where the 3G icon usually is?

    That's the icon for GPRS, no EDGE. You have three available data-modes on all 3G-enabled iPhones (3G, 3Gs and 4): The little circle or o for GPRS, the E for Edge and the 3G for UMTS. No icon at all means no data-transfer (no MMS, no Visual Voicemail, no Internet and so on).

  • HT4623 what does "renew lease" mean in the wifi settings?

    cannot connect to office internet. it has connected before and all other Apple products are connected
    want to know what VPN is
    also what does "renew lease" means.

    VPN is "Virtual Private Network" which are settings set by your IT professionals that will tell your iPad how to log into your network and become "Part" of your business network.  This way if you are at home and for security reasons there are things you need to do and need to be at a computer in the office, you could be at home and your iPad would be part of the office network as if you logged in at your office.
    When you renew your lease, you are basically telling your iPad to search for a new IP address on the network.  Throughout times your ISP may change you IP address when the lease runs up on an IP address.  When this is done, most times your router and modem will automatically update "renew" this address, and ocassionally need you to manually do this.  Renewing this lease, does just that, it updates the address information so you can start to properly get information as needed from the network.

  • What does "Owners Enabled" mean in Disk Utility

    Hi -
    Not an emergency - I'm not having any issues at this time - but a matter of curiosity.
    I have 5 Firewire drives hooked into my G5 and only the main HD and the Time Machine drive say "Yes" next to "Owners Enabled" in Disk Util. The other externals indicate "No". What does Owners Enabled mean. should I endeavor to make them all to say Yes?
    Thanks,

    Hello Josh2000,
    Check out this older thread for more help and information. It should be able to answer your questions. Basically it has to do with permissions and whether or not they are enabled on a particular volume or not.

  • What does "Error 10" mean? "An error occurred while loading your project. 10"

    Does anyone know what "Error 10" means?  For the first time, I'm getting a message that says, "An error occurred while loading your project. 10".  I'm getting this message when I try to open a project that I created yesterday.
    I'm using Adobe Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.  I have over 20 gigs of open space on the drive with all the project and support files.  And this machine with 2 gigs of RAM never has a problem opening other similar Premeire project files with even more still images plugged in.
    All of my Premiere project files have always opened with no problem.  A similar file that this project file was created from with all the same base elements still opens with no problem.
    This file almost finishes the "Loading Project - checking files..." process, but then I get the error message.
    I had also saved a duplicate backup file for the project in question and it will not open either, so I believe that rules out a corrupt file... it is only this one project that I created yesterday that will not open.  This project file is only about 5.7 megabytes in size.
    This file has many still images plugged in to it, but all the same images are plugged in to another base file that still opens correctly.
    I've also tried closing all other apps to save memory but I still get the error.   I've also tried opening this problem file from within the application and I still get the same error message.
    I read some troubleshooting information on the Adobe website about files that give error messages that will not open and it recommended adjusting the size of the virtual memory paging file in the system settings to twice the amount of RAM that is installed instead of being on the automatic setting, so I followed the instruction verbatim and restarted my machine and I still get the error message.
    I've also read other troubleshooting info on the Adobe site that recommends to "delete the application preferences file" and "recreate the plugin cache file", but I'm not sure if "Error 10" indicates that those things are the correct procedures to use.
    I could re-create this project file, but it has many tricky cutting and motion setting edits that will be difficult to reproduce and it took me a full day to create this project file.
    Also, yesterday before initially closing this file, I was able to successfully render a test version to an AVI file and that video file plays fine, but neither the original project file nor the duplicate will open... I'm always getting the "An error occurred while loading your project. 10"   after the file almost finishes the "Loading Project - checking files..." process... it almost finishes opening but then I get the error message.
    Thanks for any input on this problem.  You can see the error message screenshot below.

    Thanks Bill... me too.
    After writing to Dennis Radeke on an Adobe.com blog about this and getting his very limited response, I wrote to him quoting something I read on the wiki page that you sent me the link to...

    Wiki page link that you gave me:

    Here's what my response today was...
    Thanks for your reply DR.
    My old version of Premiere 6 works perfectly on Windows 7.  I’ve created over a thousand different Premiere project files on this 5 year-old PC that was updated to Windows 7 last year.
    All of my other Premiere 6 files open and maintain their original editability and all the features in this ancient version of Premiere work very well.
    I own and use mostly Mac machines but I have one 5 year-old PC with a 160 gig hard drive with Windows 7 that I run Premiere 6 on because it’s a thousand dollar program that I had from 10 years ago that I didn’t want to repurchase. Buying a newer PC 5 years ago was far less expensive than buying a new copy of Premiere.  Some people seem to think, “Wow, just buy a new version of the software for a thousand dollars and a new computer with a 5 Terabyte hard drive.”, but that isn’t always the reality of some peoples financial situation.
    With 20 gigs of open HD space, all of my previous, even more complex Premiere 6 files still open and edit just fine.  It is only this one file that I created Thursday that won’t re-open after closing it for the first time.  Since the backup copy of that file won’t open either, and all the support files open, play and work in other previous project files, I’m thinking that there is some glitch that happened when saving this file that is corrupting it now, making it unable to be re-opened.
    Based on prior advice on multiple topics about Premiere 6 from people on the Adobe forum who use only newer versions of Premiere, most information that applies to the brand new Premiere Pro CS5 still seems to apply to the old Premiere 6.
    I found that holding down Shift-Option while opening Premiere 6 trashes the preferences file. This became my work around since I can’t locate the preferences file based on your path noted (in your blog) nor via the other prefs file path published on the Adobe website.
    But unfortunately, trashing the prefs file, resetting the plugin cache file, increasing the virtual memory paging file size, importing the problem project file in to a new project, nor anything else is working to allow this file to open.
    Now I’m looking in to XML:Wrench to see if that can find the corruption in this file, but I’ve had a malware warning from one download source and the xmlwrench.com website says their download is only a demo version, but no price is listed… this seems somewhat strange and possibly deceptive.
    But I read something on an Premiere Pro wiki page , quoted below, at this URL, that seems to be pertinent, and though my version of Premiere may be ancient, it seems that, according to this user’s concerns, Adobe is still having problems with current versions of Adobe software creating corrupt files…
    http://premierepro.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:How_do_I_recover_a_corrupt_project%3F
    QUOTE:
    “Can someone please advise – why on EARTH we should have to download XML Wrench and manually fix a corrupt Adobe project??? This is something common to all the Adobe “Support” forums on issues like this, and the many others that plague Adobe’s product (and I’m not being a mindless troll – I’ve been forced to use it for years so I do know the usability and other issues it has): it seems that people are excited because they’ve found a “fix” (which is more like a work-around) – purely because they’re understandably ecstatic that all their hard work isn’t comPLETEly lost.
    However, Adobe should be making sure their product isn’t so buggy! This issue should be fixed (as just one example). Adobe should be finding out what causes the corruption in the first place and fixing it. And whether it’s some other codec on the system that’s caused it is no excuse – their software should have better error management built into it. I’ve seen other issues where an Adobe support representative has happily replied: “oh, that’s a known issue since version [3 versions back] – don’t worry, most users are aware of the work around for it: just select and move all of the items in your timeline each time you open the project and you’ll be fine!”
    I’m sorry to rant on – but can some other users please explain the above to me? (i.e. why aren’t more people annoyed about this and complaining to Adobe to fix these things).”
    UNQUOTE
    All of this coming from an experienced user of Adobe products complaining about needing XML:Wrench to fix corrupt Adobe files seems relevant.
    In addition, why does no one, including the Adobe knowledge base, have any info about what “An error occurred while loading your project. 10″ means?… why isn’t there a database that identifies Adobe error numbers by the simple number itself?  The only info I was able to find identifying “Error 10″ on the Adobe site was a software installation error, not a project loading error.
    Now I find myself chasing a clean download of XML:Wrench in order to hopefully fix this corrupt file.  Whether I’m using Premiere 6 on a 160 gig hard drive with 20 gigs of open space or Premiere Pro CS5 on a 5 Terabyte hard drive with 3 Terabytes of open space, the problems, according to other users, seem to be the same as ever with corrupt Adobe Premiere files, based on what I’ve been reading across the internet.
