Why are the dates so light in iCal 5.0 (can't read!)

I can't even read them unless I'm a few inches from monitor! Did lots of calibration too. iCal previous versions were fine. iCal is now pretty much useless, please darken, bold, englarge (anything!) the date numbers in an update ASAP, or allow users to edit this.

I couldn't agree more. I've search for a solution for this, but couldn't find one. I can't believe there isn't an option to change the colors of the calendar numbers - there is on many second party calendars that you can purchase.

  • Why are the date and time not updating in backups.backupdb folder?

    I just started using Time Machine on my early 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. After the initial full back-up and first few updates, the backup folder (on an external 1.5 TB Firewire drive) continues to show the original "date modified" of the very first back-up and lists the size as a ridiculous 2.48 GB. (Using BackupLoupe, I know it actually is 280 GB, reflecting the size of my internal HD). Any idea why this folder's info is not updating in the finder (even using "Get Info")? Are my back-ups really there? (It certainly seems so according to BackupLoupe).

    First, the best way to view or restore from your backups is via the Time Machine display, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.  Using the Finder is not recommended.
    Do not worry about the dates.  First, the date modified only applies to the "parent" folder; that's not the Backups.backupdb folder, but the one inside it that's named for your Mac.
    Don't worry about the sizes, either.  On Leopard and Snow Leopard, the size of a backup folder was the total size of all the items that were on your Mac at the time of that backup (less exclusions).  On Lion, however, it's the "unique size" -- the size of items that appear only on that backup.

  • Placed Excel file - why are the dates wrong?

    I have just relinked a number of Excel spreadsheets in a Mac InDesignCC document and all the dates are now 4 years and a day later than they should be.
    I've searched the forums and it appears that this is related to the Excel 1900/1904 date system but I can't find any solutions.
    The Excel files are from Windows Excel 2010 and look fine in Excel 2011 for Mac and in Apple Numbers.
    So any ideas how can I get InDesign to also show the dates correctly?
    Thanks,
    Graham
    PS asking my client to update all his files to an Apple Mac date system isn't an option!
    PPS I've tried changing the preference in Excel 2011 to "Use 1904 Date System" but that just adds 4 yrs to the dates in the Excel spreadsheets!!

    Is there a way to add holidays to iCal without doing it manually?

    bandmomma,
    Click on this link: https://p13-calendars.icloud.com/holiday/US_en.ics and it will download a file named US_en.ics to your downloads folder.
    Double-click on the file and you will be offered the opportunity to add a calendar to iCal. Just be sure to create a "New Calendar." Don't import into an existing calendar.

    It may be in the process of making room.  What version of OSX are you on?    (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network;  Lion has improved it greatly.)
    A clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of  Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.   That should help you figure out what's going on.  If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
    If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

  • Why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?How do I stop it from changing?

    why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?  How do I stop it from changing? I must have a prefernce set up wrong.

    I don't know what OS you are using, or what application you are using to view the data about your exported files, but on Windows and using Windows Explorer the "Date Created" field relates only to the date that the exported file was created, i.e. if viewed immediately after export it will show the date created as being the same date. In order to view "Capture Date" in something like Explorer, you first have to ensure you have included the Metadata as Conrad outlined above, then you have to adjust the display properties of Explorer to show the "Date Taken" field. Here is an example, part of a folder I exported back on March 3rd, note the difference between that last two dates:

  • Why are your Data Plans SO SCREWED UP? You are Unfairly making the average data user Subsidize the Big Data Users. This kind of thing is why I left AT

    Why are your Data Plans SO SCREWED UP? You are Unfairly making the average data user Subsidize the Big Data Users. This kind of thing is why I left AT&T and came to Verizon a Decade ago. Their plans sound better now, maybe I should go back.

    I currently have 5 phones/lines. 2 Droid MAXX phones, a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone and 2 basic phones (4+ year old Motorola & Samsung). The cost for each line rose considerably and usage fees more than doubled on the 2 basic phones when I upgraded the 3 smartphones at the beginning of this year and Had to Convert from my old Unlimited Family Plan to the Newer Share Everything Plan. My Data Usage varies a lot due to occasional travel which I have little control over. At least you recently began including a $10 deduction on each of the 2 older phones (which I have not updated in order to save money though they need updating). My Sweet Spot on Data would be around 6GB Monthly Data. But that level is not offered. Only 2, 3, 4, 10, or 15 GB plans are offered.
    Verizon's Data Plans Offered Are:  2GB-$50/MO = $25/GB  *   3GB-$60/MO = $20/GB   *   4GB-$70/MO = $17.50/GB   *  10GB-$80/MO = $8/GB   *  15GB-$100/MO =  $6.66/GB   *   And Overages are Charged at $15 per 1k-1GB.
    Offers JUMP From 4GB TO 10GB (There's a 6GB GAP/JUMP - ***) - Why is there NO 6 or 8 GB offering?  Because Verizon is Overcharging the Lower Data Users!  Seems like All of the Other Cellular companies are Offering Better Deals.
    If you can offer something better please let me know, otherwise I may have to consider going back to AT&T or moving to one of the other cellular companies.

    What is an ageing report? What are the data sources used to develop an aging report
    Aging refers to values in different time period ranges. Example, the customer (credit) aging report can look like this.
    customer (credit)  for current period, 0 to 30 days, 30 to 90 days, 90 to 120 days. This is the way aging is classified.
    What data sources does one use to get Balance sheet and P&L accounts tables and fields.
    For P&L information, you may use 0FI_GL_6 datasource (or 0FI_GL_10 if you use ERP 5.0 version). This datasource reads the same information used in R/3 transaction f.01 (table glt0).
    What are the tasks a BW consultant normally performs when he is involved in an end to end implementation project or a full life cycle project?
    Requirement gathering, blueprint creation, development etc

    Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

    So, if I haven't made any albums, I can't move pictures in the main window of the Organizer?
    Yes, you can't. The default order in the main window is based on date, ascending or descending when you are in the standard 'thumbnail view'. If you are in 'folder' view, with your folders shown in the left panel, you are shown the pictures in alphabetical order of the file names.
    I haven't created albums yet.
    I have so many pictures. I wanted to put all the pictures for each album next to each other so I can find them easily.
    It's not difficult to create albums and 'drag' pictures in it. When an album is selected, you can move your pictures around in any order in the main window panel.
    Albums are one way of grouping and ordering pictures. You should try to use keywords to organize and retrieve your pictures.

  • TS4337 Why are the colors for my calendar reseting to a color I never chose?

    Why are the colors for my calendar in iCal reseting to a color I never chose?  It won't stay blue when I choose that color and keeps changing to a custom lavendar color on its own....  Incredibly annoying...

    There doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all answer, because what works for one printer doesn't necessarily work for another, and I don't have your printer so I can't advise on specifics...
    However, perhaps we can discover a set of settings that will work...
    If you File - Print, choose Photoshop Manages Colors, in the Printer Profile section do you see profiles specific to your printer (e.g., with the name Kodak in them)?
    If so, choose one of them that seems appropriate given the paper you're using.
    If not, try choosing sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    Now, before you continue, press the [Print Settings...] button.  This brings up the printer driver dialog.  You may have to go through [Advanced] buttons or whatever, but what you're looking to do here is to disable the printer driver's color management logic.  In other words, if you can find a color-management / ICC profile handling section, set it to "no color management" or equivalent.  OK back out to Photoshop's print dialog, then press [Print].
    The key here is that if Photoshop manages the color transforms, the printer driver should not be set to do so - or vice versa.
    If you're presented with the printer driver's dialog again, double check that the settings you chose above are still set, for good measure, and try a test print.

  • Why are the photos i print much darker than the monitor image?

    why are the photos i print much darker than the monitor image?

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system? What program are you printing from?
    Some programs such as Photoshop give the option to print to CMYK or sRGB color spaces.  Even though the printer uses CMYK inks the driver is expecting sRGB data.  If CMYK is selected the prints will be much too dark.
    Another thing to check is the media type.  If you are printing on plain paper and have seelcted Photo paper the prints have too much ink.

  • Why shrinking the data file is bad?

    Hi All,
    Why shrinking the data file is bad?
    If it is bad, Then why SQL server has this option?

    There are several reasons why shrinking is bad. One of the reasons were recorded already by Louis Jordan around 1950 where he sang What's the Use of Getting Sober, when You Are Gonna Get Drunk Again?" That is, why shrink something that will grow
    again? Growing a database file takes some resources, since it has to be zero-initialised. For a data file this can be avoided by granting the service account for SQL Server the permission "Perform Volume Operations" (if I recall the name correctly).
    For a log file it is unevitable. While SQL Server grows the file, this causes a standstill for the process that triggered the file to grow, and can easily cause a bigger outage.
    Another reason that shirnk is bad is that it adds a lot of fragmentation to the database. In difference to the above, there is no reason it has to be that way. It's simply not an optimal implementation.
    Shrinking can be really poor when you have big LOB columns.
    So why does shrink exist? Because sometimes, shrinking a data file or a log file is a perfectly legit operation. Say that you have a transaction database, and you decide to move transactions that are more than 12 months old to an archive database,
    and you also implement a process to move data to the archive database on quarterly basis. Before you implemented the archive database, the transaction database was 1.5 TB, but after you moved ten years worth of data, you now have a 250 GB database. In this
    case, it would be perfectly reasonable to shrink the data file to, say, 300 GB to make it more managable.
    Or say that you make a change to your reindex job so that it runs with bulk_logged recovery rather than full. This may permit you to reduce the size of the log file with 50% (a number taken out of thin air).
    There are lot of other situations, but the key is: you have reason to believe that the data file will stay within the size you shrink it to. Some people are obesseed with space and shrink whenever they get the occasion, but that is a bad idea.
