When I open iCal it creates a new event

Using Lion and whenever I open iCal it creates a new unnamed event. I don't see any setting preferences where this is set and I don't have the same problems on any other of my Macs running Lion.

was in the options, in two places but cannot recall both now, one set Pacific/Auckland, the other UTC +12 as I recall.
Seems to have resolved, but I had to reschedule all my existing events to NZ time manually.
Cheers

We have an older IMac (preIcloud) and just purchased a new Macbook Air. Our Iphones are set-up to synch with the IMAC and my calendars on the IMac & the phone look the same. But when I open ICal on the MacBook Air my calendar is missing items? Help..

Are you wanting to import iCal to the MacBook Air. Since iCloud doesn't work with 10.6 OSX you probably don't have any data in iCloud yet?

Why do my events change in the day view, when I create a new event? (iCal for iPad 2)

Every time I create a new event in the day view in iCal on iPad, the other events (which I created before for the same day) change their starting and/or their ending time.
Please help!

monkeyde,
You are getting entagled in the two confusing meanings of the term pixels, namely as a unit identical to points and equalling 1/72 inch, and the basic component of raster images (and effects).
You can read on in this very recent thread:
Is there a way to get Illustrator to know how many pixels are in an inch?

Can't create a new event in iCal

Odd thing is happening in iCal when creating a new event, clicking on the plus button creates a new calendar and not an event.
When clicking on the day and from the pop up menue clicking new event I get an error message relating to mail?
Doesn't happen all the time but very frustrating when in does. Is there a fix?

Odd thing is happening in iCal when creating a new event, clicking on the plus button creates a new calendar and not an event.
This is normal. You can create a new event by double-clicking within the day in any of the views (in Day or Week view double-click on the time for the event): select the calendar you want to add to in the sidebar first.

When I open iCal all my delegate's calendars are checked every time.

Since upgrading to Mavericks when i open iCal or even just maximize it from the dock all my delegate's calendars are checked. My whole work team (8 people with multiple calendars) are listed as delegates so each time I have to uncheck them all to see mine only. I do need to see their calendars at time but never all at once which seems to be the default in this new version. I've scoured the preferences looking for something that I may need to change but have been unable to remedy the issue. I've attached a screenshot. Thank you in advance!

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

When I open a website in a new tab (like a forum) it will start on the last page and at the bottom. So I have to scroll up. Is there a setting for this?

I open my favorite forums website. When I open a thread in a new tab the window starts at the bottom. I have to scroll up to see the top of the thread.

Does it do it if you run Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]? If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

When I open ical, the calendar looks like an old desk pad vs what is in the manual. How do I change the view (not month, day, week), but the background presentation?

When I open ical, the calendar looks like an old desk pad vs what is shown in the manual or on-line tutorials. How do I change the view (i.e. background) not the month/day/week view but the background template? The default in the manual is good. Software is current - Lion.

Kelly,
Try: MacNix: Change Mac OS X 10.7 Lion iCal and Address Book Skins from Leather to Aluminum.

New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem with Final Cut Pro X: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

Here`s the screenshot.
But anyway:
The drive is Makintosh HD from my Macbook and it is shown in the event mediathek and in the projects. Since I`ve recognized this problem I installed FCPX again and consequently the event and project directory created by FCPX is where it should be and it shows all the test events including it`s files.
So what happens? Opening FCPX you see only one event and that a new empty event. All previous events are not shown there even if you can see them in the finder. So if you import again the clips they are in this new event library. After closing correctly FCPX and reopening there again is nothing than an new and empty event. What it does is that it recognized that i.e. there are events with previous numbers and so it creates an new one with the next available counting number.
If you want to open one event from the finder it by clicking to the file it opens FCPX but it says it cannot open the clicked file.

HT4927 I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there. Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing

I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there. Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
That means you imported one Library to another.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
So, what to do?
Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.

TD

When I'm on a page with many links it used to highlight or underline the link I was looking at ... so when it opened the link in a new window, I could look back and not lose my place

It sounds like you have chosen a publishing template rather than a word processing template. There are two basic modes in MS Word: word processing and publishing layout. Word processing mode (and all word processing templates) have a continuous text box in the page for writing text. The publishing layout mode (and publishing templates) are documents that have text boxes placed for articles, titles, pictures, etc. Be sure to choose the word document template and you’ll get what you expect. Do not choose the word publishing document.

"When I open a link in a new tab, switch.." Doesnt work correctly

I'm using Firefox 28.0 (Waterfox build)
I've verified that:
- browser.tabs.loadInBackground: False
- browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground: True
- "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is enabled in the UI.
It seems only some websites actually switch to the new tab. Also, sometimes, this feature will stop working all together; requiring me to toggle the Firefox UI setting and/or restart firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and the website won't open.

Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and I'll have to re open the tab and hope that doesn't happen again. Sometimes this happens again and again. Most of the times if I just open the link in a new tab and don't switch to it, this won't happen. But as I switch too the tab, the text would disappear and the link wouldn't open.

In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

My iPad acting so weird tonight. When it shut down automatically because the battery has been drained. When I opened it, it creates some weird sounds like *swoosh* blahblah. It does make me feel nervous. Can someone help me? Does it already broken? :(
