When creating a event can't choose starting time.

I just got a new mac air with yosemite. When I create a event in ical it won't let me choose a starting time, it just sticks a time in there and that's it, i can't change it. But I can change the end time though.

Hey cdrea,
It is not quite clear from your description how you are creating the events in your Calendar application that you are describing, but you should be able to change the starting time for them. See this article -
Mac Basics: Calendar keeps your appointments - Apple Support
You can drag and drop the event to the correct time or use the Inspector -
Double-click anywhere on the calendar to add an event at that time. The Inspector window that appears allows you to add invitees, set a time, location and more.
Drag an event to reschedule it.
Double-click an existing event to edit it from the Inspector.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,
Brett L

  • How can I choose the time in WRT54G

    Hi
    Problem:
    How can I choose the time in WRT54G?
    Data:
    WRT54G v5.1, firmware 1.0.9
    Thank you for your attention

    I don't think that you can actually "choose the time" on your router, that is, you cannot set it to an arbitrary time.  The router's clock is set from the internet.
    However, you can choose your "time zone" and whether or not to use "daylight saving time".  To do this, open your web browser and point it to address 192.168.1.1.  Enter your router password.  This will take you to your router's web setup page.  You can set the time zone on the bottom of this first page.  Then click "Save Settings".  Exit your browser.  When your router has internet access, it will set itself to the correct time.

  • How can I reserve resources or rooms when creating an event in the Calendar (Exchange)?

    On our Exchange server we have configured a number of conference rooms and other resources that users can book/reserve through Outlook when creating events.  When I create an event in the iPhone on my Exchange calendar, if I add a location the option does not exist to book rooms/resources (even if I add in the resource word-for-word as it exists on Exchange server). I am also unable to book it if I invite the "Contact," if I may call it that, from our Global Address List.   Does this capability exist in the iPhone?

    I can't seem to do this successfully. I use the GAL to select the room, but when I send out the meeting I immediately get an automated response back that the delivery failed. I heard this may be because the iPhone OS does not distinguish between a normal attendee and a resource. Yet you seem to have it working. What version of Exchange are you using. Is it on Mac or PC?  We are about to upgrade from Exchange 2003 to 2010, maybe that will help solve this?
    Also, (this may just be semantics) on the iPhone under "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" the Exchange configuration is set to "on" to sync calendars. Is this the same as having the Exchange calendar "set as the default calendar" mentioned above?

  • Where is the setting for indicating which calendar i want to use when creating an event?

    When I use iCal on my iPhone, I use the + sign and then get a screen that gives me Title, Location, Starts, Ends, Time Zone, Repeat, Alert, URL and Notes. I used to get the option to choose which calendar (personal, work family, etc) that I want to use. That Calendar bar is no longer there. Why not?

    When I use the iPhone's Calendar app, I have the following avaialble when creating a new Event.
    Title
    Location
    Starts/Ends
    Repeat
    Invitees
    Alert
    Second Alert
    Calendar
    Availability
    URL
    Notes

  • Scanning into iphoto 08 creates single events can I change that?

    When scanning photos into iphoto 08 with my epson flatbed my individual scans show up as single events, so if I scan 100 pictures of Dad I have 100 separate events. Is there a way to pre-select creating one event before I begin the scan process? Also is there a way to target the event I want a scan to end up in?

    Six peps
    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    No and No
    But once you scan several you can select all the events you just created and click merge and merge them into one event
    Or scan to a folder on the desktop and then import that folder into iPhoto (probably want to turn off the option to split items imported from the finder into events)

  • Gmail account not available when creating new event

    Good evening all,
    I have not seen this issue reported yet, so I thought I would throw it out there in case someone else has encountered it.
    I set up my GMail account (email, contacts and calendar) and am able to get my events via CalDAV.  I can also set it as the default calendar when creating events.  However, when I actually open the calendar to create an event, when I first touch the calendar it shows as the colour of my Gmail calendar, second touch opens the edit screen and my Gmail account is not there.  If I save the event, it gets added to the local calendar.
    I have 3 calendars outside of the local calendar - a work one via ActiveSync, my Gmail one and another Gmail one added as CalDAV which is my wife's Gmail calendar - this one shows as available in the drop down, but not my Gmail one.  The descriptions are unique.
    I did have to remove my Gmail calendar due to the "unable to authenticate" issue that others noted, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.  As I stated, it is pulling things down, is available to set as default, but no created events can be associated with it.

    Hello ironmike and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    To make sure I understand the issue, you removed your Gmail account from your device as were getting an error "Unable to Authenticate". But, when you go to your Calendar and tap on an entry, it shows the colour of your Gmail account and when you go to edit the appointment, it uses the Local calendar to save the appointment and not Gmail? 
    Thanks!

  • What is Travel Time when creating calendar event

    When creating a new calendar event there is a new option for Travel Time to be on or off...what does this do?

    Run http://filepropertiestask.codeplex.com task to get the file creation date and if older delete it or a Script Task that uses the .Net FileInfo
    CreratedDate method to find it Then you can use
    Precedence Constraints to either skip the file deletion or not.

  • Calendar adds an extra day when creating an event in ios 8.1.3. Is this a known bug?

    When i add an event using the calendar app in ios 8.1.3, it adds an extra day to the event when using a range of dates. I am able to recreate the problem. when entering the event i select a range of dates and confirm that it is what i want. after submitting, i verify and it has added an extra day at the end. Is this a known bug or am i on my own? Help please. this is annoying having to check each event after entering it.

    Ive reset, restored and this is the second phone. Thought it maybe a wonky screen that would shift it while setting dates. THe only thing I can think of is that I am syncing with google calendar, but it only happens when setting events in ios not if i do it from google website on desktop PC.

  • When creating an event the dialog box appears I set the description & time and press save and close and nothing happens. I have reloaded lightening to no avail

    When I try to create an event I click on the date and put the information in the dialog box and click Save& Close but nothing happens. THe dialog box just stays there. I have made sure I am on the latest version of Thunderbird and Lightening. I have deleted lightening and reinstalled from the website and still the same thing.
    I checked the error log in Thunderbird and this is what it said
    Timestamp: 10/15/14 3:55:48 PM

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • Cant add addresses with Floor/Apartment numbers when creating Calendar Events in Yosemite

    When you create an event in Calendar, there's a field for adding the event address. Previously, when you tried to add an address like Level 2, 23 Sample Street, Melbourne, Calendar would prompt you with the nearest address that it found in Apple Maps. If you clicked the selection, it would add a Map to your event. If you didn't, or simply hit escape, it did nothing.
    Now in Yosemite, the Calendar completely ignores your choice and automatically replaces your address with the address it thinks is correct. So for example, if you type in an address like Level 2, 23 Sample Street, Melbourne and it finds the street address within Apple maps, it simply replaces your address with 23 Sample Street, Melbourne, completely removing the Level or Apartment number that you typed in as part of the address.
    The only way I've found around this is to completely mangle the address by typing something like Level 2 - 23 Sample Street - Melbourne, which is obviously completely annoying and unsatisfactory.
    If anyone has another suggestion or a way to fix this, I'd love to hear.
    Cheers,
    Anthony.

  • When powering up, you can hear it start up but screen is blank/black?

    When I power up my macbook you can hear it starting up, the screen kinda blinks and then goes blank...black screen...do you think its a system problem or do I need to change the screen?

    You cannot change the screen. Try resetting the SMC. If that does not help, take it in for diagnosis.

  • How to skips holidays when creating reoccuring events?

    We're a school. And we use ical to keep track of class schedules. We have our classes twice a week and sometimes they fall on holidays. We have our class schedules set up in ical as "Reoccuring Events." How do you have reoccuring events skip holidays?

    Although iCal's mechanism for creating recurring events does not support it, iCal itself respects the excluded dates option, if it finds it. So, one possibility would be to create the recurring event, then drag the first occurrence to the Desktop and delete it from iCal. Then use TextEdit (or similar) to add a line after the RRULE line for each excluded date (or put several dates on the one line, separated by commas). Drop the edited file back onto iCal.
    A couple of cautions: don't just make a new line, or it upsets iCal - copy and paste and edit an existing one. The time portion of the excluded dates MUST match the time portion of the DTSTART, or iCal will quietly ignore it. In the example below, I have omitted the time zone info that will come before the VEVENT.

    The EXDATE line was added by copying, pasting and modifying the DTEND line; it causes the 1st and 3rd of July to be omitted from the recurrence. But note that there will now only be 8 occurrences, rather than the 10 initially specified.
    Alternatively, you could write an Applescript to generate the recurring events; that is probably an even bigger pain.

  • ICal events changing duration and start time after .Mac sync

    I sync two OS X Tiger computers (10.4.2) using .Mac to keep my iCal calendars in order. Certain events following a certain date are mutating with longer durations and different start times after syncing between the two computers.
    Anyone experiencing the same problem?
    Any ideas?

    Two different problems here:
    Try one at a time:
    Quit iCal. Delete iCal preferences in your User Library: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist ( you'll have to reset iCal prefs after)
    For those having problems with .Mac sync, reset the sync System Preferences/ .Mac/ Advanced tab.
    Come back with results

  • Can I know start time of execution of procedure?

  • Can't edit "New Event" when creating new event

    When I try to create a New Event, I can't change the name of it from New Event. So now all my newer calendar entries are called "New Event."
    How do I fix this?

    I have exactly the same problem
    Now I have to edit the name of the events direct on MobileMe on line and wait for sync to have it on my computer. Unbelievable!!
    By the way, all my calendars have migrated to On-Line Calendars mode but, it seems like on these mode it is not possible to create Calendar Groups so all of them are together now. Unbelievable again!!
    I'm wondering if this Ical issue could be related to font issues.
    I'm also experiencing some kind of font problems since upgrade to snow leopard.
    I had some font conflict issues during system installation.
    On first installation I have optioned for deleting conflict fonts.
    Then my menus were just erased.
    Then, on the second installation, I have optioned to just accept the conflicts.
    Now I have the menus back but other issues have been created.
    Now the window requesting user and password comes only with the empty boxes but no text at all.
    It's still working but just because I already know what to type in the boxes.
