  • Why does iCal change Location?  Can it be stopped?

    I'm using iCal v8.0 (2026), and VERY frustrated that it changes the location field on it's own, OMITTING important information.  WHY?  HOW CAN IT BE STOPPED FROM THIS BEHAVIOR?
    Example:  I enter this into the location field:
    741 Gardenview Ct #203
    Encinitas CA 92024
    And iCal changes it to this (out of my sight, after closing the detail window):
    741 Gardenview Ct
    Encinitas CA 92024
    OK, you might ask why I care.  Because when I get to the address, I need to know the suite number to go to.  What if the building is massive, with hundreds of suites.  I knew the suite number when I created the iCal entry.  So my workaround is to put the suite number into the name of the event.  But that's so awkward, silly and WRONG.
    Does anyone at Apple know about this, or care?
    Please help!

  • Why does iCal change the time of my events when I import my schedule? PLEASE HELP

    When importing my schedule (from my school website, week by week), I had no problem in September.  Now, something must be screwed up in my iCal, because the same documents are importing 3-4 hours behind my current time zone (Atlantic).  Atlantic time is specified in the files, so it isn't that.  This happens in the guest user as well.
    I turned off time zone support (I feel as though this is what made it stop working, as the default was off and I turned it on around the time it stopped working).  It still doesnt work even with time zone turned off and the time on my computer is set manually (instead of automatically detecting it).  Also, I tried to find the preference file in my library>preferences, but it didn't exact... not one single com.apple.ical plist file in there!!! It seems to work fine from my iphone EXCEPT it creates 2 events for each single event (at the same time) which is rather annoying.
    Anyone know/have any ideas on how to fix this??

    Yeah that was it, I realised straight afterwards (I'm just impatient lol). Thanks anyway

  • Why does iCal change my listed categories

    On my iCalendar I've got the different categories of lists with the different events, to organise myself. However they keep renaming themselves and not saving. Or just changing within 10 seconds. For days now new calendars/categories have been added. I go to delete them and they go but after 10 or so seconds they come back. Please could sometone help me with this please.
    Many Thanks

    For many people that is the correct option. If you think it should be different, tell Apple, as they aren't listening here.

  • Why does iCal keep telling me calendar can't be found?

    Why does iCal keep telling me calendar can't be found? I have my ical calendar synced with my android 2.3.6. They appear to be communicating and then the next time I check they aren't. I just randomly keep getting the error. I would like to sync my Google calendar, iCal and Android 2.3.6 calendar. Thanks for any suggestions!

    It is kind of hard to reconstruct what you did exactly and it may be that things have gotten pretty messed up -- it's easy to do that with OSX.  For starters, try running Disk Utility.  First, verify your hard drive with the repair feature (there are probably four buttons that do 4 different things).  If verify checks out okay, repair permissions.  Depending upon which ones are messed it it may cure some of them but not all.

  • HT2966 Why does ical delete information on calendar after eight months?  Why isn't data retained on calendar? (Apart from actually saving or backing up ical?)

    Why does ical automatically delete information on calendar after eight months or so?  Why doesn't data which has been inserted on calendar remain on the relevant dated calendar?  (Apart from actually saving or backing up calendar). 

    How are your settings in iCal preferences set?

  • Why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??

    why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??
    for example, when i am attempting to make a 'all-day' appointment on october 2nd 2011, it automatically shifts it to october 1st.
    but if i am doing a timed appointment for only a few hours, it will allow me to put it on that day.
    i am trying to put in travel dates so any help on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

    alsdman,
    Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
    Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the appropriate "Region."

  • 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 does Pages change tab settings randomly in a document?

    Have no clue what is happening to make the font change style. Are you hitting any keyboard shortcuts or is a syle applied to those cells?
    There is no automatic Calendar generator, but Pages will generate sequences in tables and:

  • Why does iChatAV3 change folders name sent to 2nd computer?

    Why does iChatAV3 change the actual folder's name (removes certain punctuation marks like forward slashes "/ " and replaces them with dashes "-" ) of attachments sent to 2nd computer on the same local network? The way I send a folder to the second computer via ichat on my own local network is to simply drag and drop the folder to the name on the Buddy list and hit send. Then i accept the folder on the target computer.
    I just sent a folder of 24 jpeg images to my second Powermac via ichatav3. (I have four macs on this particular network). The title of the folder was "Photos / 2000" but ichat changes the forward slash to a dash on the folder's name ...... and then drops the two and first zero ...... why? When received on the 2nd computer it reads the adjusted file name as" Photos -00" Not at all what I wanted to name this folder.
    In addition, Photoshop 7 (which is loaded to both systems) has issues seeing and opening the new files and folders until i retitle them per the original folder.
    I suspect the solution is not to use forward slashes at all when naming a folder of jpeg images.
    But why does ichatav3 also drop numbers from the title of these folders or attachments? Might it be that the newly generated file name already exists on the HD of the receiving system and hence will not save it under an identical name or title?
    If this is the case, shouldn't there also be a dialog box or warning that pops up saying i already have such a file on my current HD or at the very least a warning not to use punctuation marks on folders or attachments?
    Helpful suggestions in sending perfectly "intact" folders, files, and attachments via iChatav would be sincerely appreciated.
    SDMacuser

    HI SDMacuser,
    So far I have not sent a folder in the way you describe.
    I can not offer any assistance on this.
    I will test with EZ Jim when he is next around.
    Anyone else with any suggestions ?

  • HT204150 Why does iCal show incorrect age when displaying birthdays derived from Addressbook

    Why does iCal display incorrect ages derived from AddressBook entered birthdays?

    Hi PeterWCM, for what it's worth, the Apple help desk in Oz reckons we've uncovered a tech glitch in the software and that they replicated the described faults! But it only happens between specific dates (sometime in early Nov 1974, and runs through to today!)i.e; dates before Nov '74 aren't affected and some dates since!
    We "trouble shooted" by inserting (made-up) dates in Addressbook and then watching when iCal updated. By a process of trila and error we nailed down the start of the problem to 2nd Nov '74!
    Anyhow, they seemed to think there would be a "patch" issued in Jan...?
    It MAY still be linked to timezone probs...not really sure!
    Please let me know if you find a solution?
    Cheers!

  • Why does ical print out starting tuesday?

    Why does ical print out staring the week on tuesday?
    Maybe the week starts one day later for the Yosemite dev team, but certainly not in my neck of the woods.
    The actual print out also looks nothing like the new matt and  'flat' graphic style of Yosemite.
    I suggest you start on monday next week and sort these issues out.

  • Why does FireFox change layout/settings during upgrades without asking ?

    Just upgraded to Firefox 18 (windows 7 desktop). Why does Firefox change layouts/settings without asking the user if he wants it or not???
    I am getting sick of those changes. I want to have at the google main page the options (as before) to search in all languages, or pages from a certain language or pages in a certain language (of course depening of the google address; f.i. at google.de for german languages, google.fr for french languages etc).
    In the latest Firefox 17 it was working as I wanted and described before: when I visited www.google.de/firefox of www.google.fr/firefox. Now those 3 options (under the search bar) are gone and I do not want to operate by clicking on the advanced search button. Those things should be visible under the search bar again.
    Also my STARTPAGE was GONE/DELETED after the update !!! Grrrrr.... Updating is OK but mozilla should not change user configured items !!!!!!!
    The above described problem has nothing to do with the google website.

    By the way, do Firefox and IE use the same proxy settings? You can view Firefox's here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > "Network" mini-tab > "Settings" button
    The default is "Use system proxy settings".
