Why can't I set calendar events with start and end times down to the minute?

Hi everyone
Unless I've missed it, it's not possible to set events that have times that start and end to the minute rather than 5 minute slots. I work shifts that start at individual minutes.
Is there actually a way of doing this, other than on my Mac? Siri is a far too long-winded way of doing it.
Thanks

Do you not get this popup sheet where you can set the number and timeframe?

How to print a monthly calendar with start and end times

Hi,
I'm trying to print my monthly calendar and the times of the appointments do not show up.
Am i missing something?

It looks like we're not alone in looking for this feature. I found 28 other posts to this forum alone asking for this functionality (dating back to August 2005).
I know Apple likes to be different and elegant with their apps, but until iCal adds this trivial feature, it's not an adequate replacement for even paper calendars.
Do the engineers in Cupertino not care how long their appointments last? Why not at least let users show the end time on appointments as an option in month view?
The most common advice in response to this post is to provide feedback here:

In case anyone is interested in seeing what others have said about this topic, here are the posts I found after doing a few quick searches (I'm sure there are plenty I missed):

I have omf video files with start and ending time tag that I like to view on iPad

I have a large video file in the .omf (open media format). It is sometime called Avid video editor interchange. I heard that Quicktime has the ability to display the omf video file ??
I am looking for a viewer for the iPad that can view the omf file with the ability to just show the starting time stamp to the ending time stamp.
I appreciate any help.
Thank You

Difference of last 2 Rows with Start and End Time

Hi all,
This question is an extention to the below question
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ca938faf-49a7-4212-afd2-19046cbfcc8b/difference-of-last-2-rows?forum=transactsql
I got the difference of last 2 rows from the above question. But now the table added with one field StartTime. The final table is
CREATE TABLE MeterReading
ReadingID int,
MeterID int,
DataCounter int,
StartTime datetime,
Value numeric(16,4)
As per the my first thread i got the best answer like below
SELECT MeterID, SUM(CASE WHEN Recency = 1 THEN Value ELSE -Value END)
FROM (
select DISTINCT MeterID, Value, DENSE_RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY MeterID ORDER BY StartTime DESC) 'Recency'
from MeterReading
) x
WHERE Recency IN (1,2)
GROUP BY MeterID
Now i need to add StartTime to the result. The expectation is, it will take the difference of last and second last record. So i need the starttime as secondlast record starttime and endtime as last record startime. Please help me

I got a solution like below
SELECT
y.ProcessParameterID
,MIN(y.StartTime) StartTime
,MAX(y.EndTime) EndTime
,SUM(y.Value) Value
FROM
SELECT
ProcessParameterID
,(CASE WHEN Recency = 2 THEN StartTime ELSE null END) StartTime
,(CASE WHEN Recency = 1 THEN StartTime ELSE null END) EndTime
, SUM(CASE WHEN Recency = 1 THEN Value ELSE -Value END) Value
FROM (
select DISTINCT ProcessParameterID, StartTime, Value, DENSE_RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY ProcessParameterID ORDER BY StartTime DESC) 'Recency'
from LT_LAEMI_HWT_Readings
) x
WHERE Recency IN (1,2)
GROUP BY ProcessParameterID
, Recency
, StartTime
) y
GROUP BY ProcessParameterID
Can you advice me, is this the correct way or any alternative short method

Is there a way to enter an event time in Calendar as a reminder for me and NOT have Calendar erase it in the info as it reads it into the event start and end times?

Calendar can recognize and derive event start and end times from the text description entered. However, when it seizes on a time (start and/or end) and automatically enters it as the start and/or end time, it also (sigh) deletes the time from the text. I enter the times as reminders for me, how can one prevent them from being deleted by Calendar??

I am having the same darn problem. I really dislike this auto feature in Calendar.
Can anyone help us please?

Why can't I copy an email to pages and have it wrap to the page?

Why can't I copy an email to pages and have it wrap to the page margins?

Just do a Remove All.
I would first find two consecutive EOL characters and replace with an extra line feed or a visible marker like an ampersand. Then Remove All EOL characters. Then replace all the all the ampersands with a CR/LF. It's pretty quick. A lot quicker than trying to remove 500 EOL characters one at a time.
Or, ask the sender to create the document in a word processor, zip it, then send it to you.

39L4363D - Unable to set padding time for recording start and end time

Hello,
I have a problem with my 39L4363DG tv (Software 7.1.90.34.01.1).
I'm not able the set padding time for recording start and/or end time as described in the [manual|http://www.toshiba-om.net/LCD/PDF/English/L4363-323950-English.pdf] on page 51. Both menu item "start padding time" and "end padding time" are disabled?
Can anyone help me and give me an advice on how to solve it?

Hi
The padding time can be set for programmed recording.
There is also an scheduling priority
If scheduled time slots are next to each other and there is more than one minute between the end time of the first schedule and the start time of the next schedule, programmed recording will be performed correctly.
When +Start Padding Time+ and +End Padding Time+ are set, the start time and end time will be the time plus the additional minutes.
If scheduling times overlap, priority will be given to the programmed recording which starts first.
When the programmed recording that started first ends, recording will switch to the next scheduled programme.
At this time, depending on how far the scheduling times overlap, the beginning section of the next scheduled programme may not be recorded.

Can i share a calendar event with another iphone?

My husband and kids and I all have IPhone 4's. Is there any way to "share" calendar events with each other as we do contacts??

You need to create a calendar, that you share.
After creating the calendar, click on the Calendar-Button in the upper right corner of the iCal Window, then select ,"Share" from the drop down menu.
Choose "Share with only people you invite".
Then add your event to this calendar.

How do you set a start and end time based on changes in data averages?

I am making a VI to collect data from a calorimeter that will detect automatically when I have triggered the combustion by recognizing a rise in the average temperature, and then will record data from that point until it the temperature rise stops or plateaus. I have worked out how to average my data, how to write it to a file, etc. but I don't know what the best way to construct my VI to automatically respond to changes in the average would be. It seems to me that there are a number of ways to do this, but I am fairly inexperienced with LABView and don't know which is best.
Does anyone have any ideas, specific advice, or general thoughts about using fluctuations in data averages to set start and stop times for a VI?

Lynn,
All great points - thank you for your thoughts. You are right, I am interested in selecting a subset of my data in which the temperature is rising, not setting start and stop times.
I realize that it is difficult to give concrete advice without more information, but I'm hoping that with some clarification on my part you might be able to give a few suggestions. The calorimeter I am working with is a microbomb calorimeter, which combusts small, dry biological samples in a pressurized, oxygen environment, and it does not have a water tank or other components on other bomb calorimeters. The data I am recording is mV signal from a thermocouple ring that the microbomb rests in. To directly answer your questions, I would say I am measuring detonations, or more specifically the electrical potential generated in the thermocouple due to the temperature increase of the stainless steel bomb. The data is fairly noisy, so I have previously been averaging every 1000 data points together in order to observe the temperature increase clearly.
The only plateau in the data that I have observed that I need to deal with is at the peak of the temperature increase, when I would like to put my second timestamp/end my data subset. There is a slight lag time due to the rate that the steel heats at, so the entire measurement can take 30-40 seconds even though the combustion occurs in seconds. What I would like to do is have my VI observe and respond to the averages that it is already making, and then by some means, like an increase/decrease beyond one or two standard deviations, for example, and then set the datapoint before the increase as Time 0. Then I would like to identify the end of the temperature increase/end of the datasubset by similar means as the increase levels off. Finally, I want to integrate the curve of the increase and display the integrated value for my users.
I would appreciate any thoughts. I don't have any raw data to share, but I do have a TDMS of the averaged data from a calibration test I did combusting benzoic acid. I'm not sure how much it will help, but I'll attach it regardless.
Thanks,
~nat

Problems with replace file name with starting and ending Bates number

When applying Bates numbers to a set of Acrobat pdf files I am unable to replace file names with the starting and ending Bates number. This is important
for me in a legal application.
The Bates numbers are applied to each page of each of file without any problem as required.
The Bates log file indicates that the files have been renamed as I wanted.
I am running Adobe Acrobat Professional 9 with the update to 9.1.9 and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (the last or current service pack)
In all other respects Adobe Acrobat 9 is running to my satisfaction.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
HRKExon

Thanks for asking the question, I hadn't heard of Bates numbers before and this gave me a chance to look up something new.
When I googled for ' bates number legal index ' I found this document:

Maybe that will help.

How can I control the video playback start and end time?

I'd like to be able to start a video/audio playback at a particular point in time say 3 seconds from the starts of the video and play it for only 3 seconds. How can I set the unique start and end points rather than play the whole video. I'd also like to be able to do this using the SeriesElement so I can set the start and end play points for a series of stacked videos. How can this be achieved?

Not sure I understand the question. Can't you just append the param to the URL? Like so:
var url = new URL("http://video-research/video.f4v?start_time=500");
If your question is more about playing a subclip of a progressive video, that's not something OSMF has support for. You'd need to write a server script which checks for that parameter and then returns the relevant portion of the requested file. (This is typically referred to as "pseudo-streaming", if you Google that term you'll find a wealth of info.)

Stacked area chart with start and end dates

Hi,
I'm trying to create a stacked area chart from values that have a start date and an end date. I'd like the area to be drawn as a sum of the values at each x-axis date interval. So if I have data like:
Start
End
Value
2013-01-01      2015-01-01
100
2013-09-01      2014-01-01
200
2013-01-01      2016-01-01
300
What I need is to have the chart show the area y-axis at 400 from the start up to 2013-09-01 where it would rise to 600. At 2014-01-01 it would drop back down to 400 and at 2015-01-01 it would drop to 300 until the end.
Is this possible without calculating the sums for each date beforehand?

Hi Erba,
According to your description, it seems that you need add Start and End fields with the same level (without group relationship) to the x-axis in stacked area chart. As per my understanding, we couldn’t add multiple fields in one group at the same level.
So in order to work around this issue, we can modify the dataset to combine the Start and End field into one filed, then add the new filed to x-axis. For more details, please refer to the steps below:
Modify the dataset with the following query statement:
select Start as date , Value as value
from table_name
union
select [End] as date, (0-Value) as value
from table_name
Drag a Stacked Area Chart to design surface.
Insert value field to Values pane, then modify it with the expression below:
=runningvalue(Fields!vlaue.Value,sum,"DataSet_name")
Insert date field to Category Group pane.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Why can't I use Snapfish anymore with iPhoto 08? I cannot see the library.

I recently upgraded to iPhoto (iLife 08) now when I try to upload pics to snapfish it cannot see the folder. I know it is there cause I see it in Finder. It shows all other folders but the iPhoto folder is invisible. Does anyone know a setting or a way that I can utilize photo developing other than the proprietary ones for Apple?
Please help. I feel like I've been swindled. (Seems Like something Microsoft would do)
Jeff

Jeff
You haven't been swindled, no one is forcing you to do anything.
With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
It has never been the correct procedure to root through the iPhoto Library Folder - in fact on every version the documentation has expressly stated that you should never do so.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
All of these are faster and safer than rooting around in the iPhoto Library Folder
You might also check if Snapfish have updated their plug-in for iPhoto yet? If Snapfish haven't bothered to update their plug-in, you might want to check out many of the other services that have. Or are supported by an app like PictureSync. So, nothing proprietary there.

How to be more specific with start and finish times in microsoft project

I am trying to schedule down to the hour with the start and finish information. Is that possible?

schedhelp,
a) yopu can set the "time" for either Start Date or "finish" date, but not both. Project caluclates one or the other when you supply one value.
b) Yes, you can definitely schedule down to an hour, however manually typing in the start or finish times will create constraints for the schedule and you are really not using Project for what it is supposed to do (Dynamic Scheudling).
c) If you are just using project Online, in the Schedule PDP, navigate to Options tab, and select Time with Date, to see the times attached to each of the dates, and modify them
d) if you are using project Pro, go to File >> Options >> General >> date format and select a format that shows time along with date, to see the times attached to each of the dates, and modify them

Hi all,
Just come across the same issue and found this post.
You may all know but I found this OSS note which explains it every well
330384 - Basic finish at incorrect time: 00:00 / 24:00
Symptom
You execute a scheduling of several orders with material reference, for example, a collective order
scheduling is carried out.
In order to determine the basic finish dates, the basic dates of all orders are set to 00:00:00 or
24:00:00.The in-house production time of the materials is not evaluated for each order.
Other Terms
Collective order, network, overall network, basic date, basic dates
CO01, CO02
Reason and Prerequisites
The problem is caused by a program error.
You determine the time of the basic finish date by considering the in-house production time of the
respective material.
l If the in-house production time is greater than 0 days, the basic finish date is set to 00:00.
l In the case of an in-house production time which is equal to 0 days, the basic finish date is
set to 24:00.
In this case, also refer to Notes 150007 and 151503.
The problem occurs because only the in-house production time of the material of an order is
interpreted for scheduling several orders.
Solution
Implement the attached program correction.
In advance of this, implement the corrections contained in Notes 194019, 215792 and 322898.
Interpretation of the in-house production time of the materials for each order.

Why can't I set calendar events with start and end times down to the minute?
