Why are ical appointments repeated monthly when not requested?

The iCal application on one of my machines has begun posting appointments to the months prior to and following the date for which the appointment has been entered. In addition, if I tab backward from April nothing happens. Tabbing backward again takes me to February, from which I can tab forward to March.

Hi, not sure, but it sounds like maybe one of these files is dinged...
/Users/YourUserMame/Library/Calendars/[BigLongNumber].calendar/Info.plist
Then again with the tabbing thing, there may be deeper problems.
Have you tried deleting that entry & making a new one?

  • In my download history, why are downloads occurring that I have not requested?

    While using the computer, I noticed downloads were being added to my history. When I checked, they were downloads I had not requested. How can I stop this? I've used up my data allowance in 17 days and I've been away for 8 of them.

    Many programs have a setting for them to ''Phone Home'' for information
    and updates. Open settings on such program, and choose '''Manual Updating.'''
    Web pages download Lots of stuff. Most from their own site. But also
    information from other sites.
    Please provide examples of what you think is not of your doing.

  • Why are input-output lights flashing when not in use? Pirated signal?

    I have my airport base station set up to not make itself public (ie. you must type the name of the network and password for it to appear and let you in). However, I noticed the other morning when I got up (in the dark!) that the lights were flashing like crazy. It really looks like it is in use. Is there anyway to minitor whether or not somebody is stealing signal from me, or is there another explanation?
    Thanks!

    I also can state that it is absolutely normal behavior and nothing to worry about (there is always some network traffic).
    Regarding security, if you really think that could be an issue, you should allow only devices their MAC addresses have been registered to the AirPort to get access.
    This does not take effect to encryption, but prevents unauthorized people (e.g. your neighbor) to share your WLAN network - regardless if they know your password or not.
    Settings are done at the AirPort maintenance software: Select the station, click on "configure", on new window select the tab "Access" and then add the MAC addresses of all devices that are allowed being connected.
    (Note that I use the German version of the AirPort maintenance software, so I'm not sure if I named it correctly).
    MAC addresses are located on all network cards or their packaging, bottom of notebooks (if they have a (W)LAN adapter; remove battery in case you can't find it, sometimes it is hidden there) or somewhere at the back panel of your desktop computer with integrated (W)LAN adapter.
    Just to explain: MAC addresses are unique to each device, they should never appear twice in the World; therefore this is a very safe solution.
    And if you not care much about encryption, you can turn it off completely and profit from faster network access (but this is at your own risk).

  • I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS

    I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS.  When I look in the library under the get info screen it says they are in the folder itunes music, under the c: drive but when I actually go to that folder to look for them they are not there....HELP!

    Hello RumDog,
    I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
    Where are my iTunes files located?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."

    Monochromatic, Orwellian Dullness everywhere, totally hate the look it's a step backwards not forwards. It's absolute b****cks to say this is being 'more inclusive' when it turns so many people OFF!
    Have you done a sampling of all users, or only those users that don't like it? While I don't mind it, I don't think I even noticed it at first until someone pointed it out.
    I note that if you get Info on an item the icon is still colour so this is some OS level (we know best) overaly that's turning everything bland and boring, it would be nice if Apple let the user actually chose this rather than force it upon them ... just like Microsoft I'm sad to say.
    Microsoft? The '90s are over. But regardless of what decade you are living in, Apple has never been too big on end-user customization of the operating system. Apple has always discouraged the use of "themes" whereas Microsoft will allow people to do pretty much whatever they want.
    The file system icons are still the same as they have always been. The new monochrome icons are clearly a design trend more than any change to the underlying operating system. If you turn off the expanded view in any file save dialog (other than in Safari), you can still see the old, glorious, multicoloured icons. If you really wanted to, I'm sure you could change the system-level images and make Finder and Mail look just like they used to.

  • Why does ical rearrange my events when i print?!   10.9

    why does ical rearrange my events when i print?!
    I'm on a macbook pro running the latest version of 10.9
    Everything is organized the way I like it, but once I go to print, it rearranges the order of my events!
    How do I fix this?
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem a few weeks ago and called apple support.  The solution is as follows:
    Most apple users have multiple devices using icloud such as an iPdad, iPhone, and other computers.  In my case, I had two computers, two iPads, and one iPhone.   After speaking to apple support, I realized that one of my ipad's setting were set to delete events older then 2 weeks.   In short, if you are expeirienceing problems with ical deleteing events, you better check all your devices.  If just one of them is set wrong in your preferences, you will lose past events.   Even check computers you gave to your cildren or other members of the family.  You will probably find out that the settings on one of these machines is causing your problems.

  • Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?

    Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?  I bought 4 apps, then had to reset my iPad, later when trying to download them back onto the iPad, they were not listed under by Purchased apps in my account in iTunes.  Thanks for any help!

    Plug in your iPhone to iTunes on your Computer, let it sync the games onto the Computer, then plug in your iPad and go to Apps in iTunes and select the apps then apply and it will download them to the iPad :)
    If you have trouble when in Apps in iTunes on your Computer, it will say iPhone and iPod touch Apps. Hope this helps!!

  • Why are my appointments listed multiple times?

    Why are my appointments listed multiple times?

    I noticed this today but I didn't even use outlook.  I made all appointments in EST/EDT.  Currently I'm on a business trip in Poland and all the times changed 6 hours ahead (the time zone in poland)... so now while planning things back home, everything is screwed up because I thought my appointments were 6 hours later then they were...
    This is a HUGE issue.... this will cause major headaches for business travelers and needs to be looked at ASAP.  But I can't even find a way to file a bug report with apple and let them know.  Not impressed one bit with this.

  • Why are iCal alarms coming up with a black rectangle?

    Why are iCal alarms coming up with a black rectangle? I'm running 10.3.9 and iCal v. 1.5.2. This started after I did software updates this week.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I solved it in my case by going to System Preferences>Internet & Network>QuickTime>Advanced, then clicking the checkbox to Enable Flash. I also had to quit and restart iCal.
    I think the Quicktime715 update that recently came out had something to do with it.
    It seems that the black box is supposed to be a movie of a vibrating alarm clock, and apparently that movie uses Flash.
    I hope this fix works for you too.

  • Why are website icons now removed when history is cleared?

    Hi,
    Just a very quick question:
    Why are website icons now removed when you clear the history in Safari?
    I have noticed this in the current Lion (and Mountain Lion) versions, this happens, when in previous versions they remained after clearing the history.
    Is there any way to change this?
    Thanks!

    Safari 6
    Safari > Help (menu in the menubar) > Show All Help Topics
    Search term "Clear History".
    "Clearing your history also empties caches, removes website icons, and clears the list of recent searches. Website icons are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the address and search field, the bookmarks list, and other places. You can see your recent searches by clicking the magnifying glass at the left end of the address and search field when it’s empty".
    That is how clearing history works in Safari 6.
    There is no way change it.
    Best.
