Why does calendar assume the time in an event subject,is the time you want for the event?

If I try to enter any number with a colon, Calendar assumes, that's the time for the event. Not sure why this change was made. I need to enter a time in the subject line, and a different time for the event to happen. Old version allowed this with no problem. What do I need to do in Mavericks to allow this.???
Many thanks in advance for any solutions.
Ned C:

Hi,
I have a small application called Multi Event Filter available on the Mac App Store which creates Calendar events from text or spreadsheets. While not really what it was designed to do, a side effect of Multi Effect Filter is that it retains the times entered for events in the titles.
You can find more ablout Multi Event Filter here.

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 my I-Phone 4 calendar only show apptmnts from the last 90 days? How can I see appointments prior to then?

Why does my I-Phone 4 calendar only show apptmnts from the last 90 days? How can I see appointments from prior to then?

The Sync setting only appears if you are syncing your calendar with iCloud. If you are syncing them to another service (such as Google) you would need to go your account with that service and see if you can change the setting there.
If you are syncing your calendar with iCloud, you should see the Sync setting, and be able to tap and change it.

Last night I downloaded the latest Word update. Today the first Word document crashed and I lost 45 minutes of work in spite of having saved the document numerous times. Why is Word crashing the day after a safety update? I have Office 2008 for Mac

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchDaemons
Open Console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & next startup for clues.

Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

because you have loaded over 25,000 songs to the icloud library. to find out exactly what is in icloud from itunes match follow these directions to create a blank itunes library and load only the itunes match songs from icloud.
1. You will need to know the location of your iTunes library for later, the default is under music under your username. If its not there find it and remember where it is for later.
2. Then you have to exit iTunes and create a new empty library. To do this hold the option key when you open iTunes. Choose create Library on the pop up dialogue. Create the library anywhere on your system, you can delete the entire library once you have completed your iCloud changes.
3. When the library opens in iTunes it will be empty. Click on iTunes Match and click the start button. after it finishes all of the songs on your iCloud match account will be listed under music.
if you want to delete some or all songs from icloud so you can re-sync itunes match to show the songs in your current library fowwow this.
4. you can select up to 1000 at a time and delete them.
5. when you have deleted what you want, close iTunes and open again holding the option key and navigate to your original library, usually in the music folder under your username. You should be all set and can click iTunes match again and your account will be populated with the ones in your current library.
6. You can navigate to the temp library you created in finder and delete it as it is no longer needed.

Why does one of my MacBooks show up as an IP address on Airport Utility

Hi-- This seems tangentially related to a previous query --- or at least it came up as a result of a previous query, but I thought I'd offer the query in a new discussion topic:
In setting up my Airport Extreme (coupled with Express) network, my printer, and the rest of it, I open the Airport Utility and I'm given the run down (i.e. schematic) of the network with the icons (i.e globe for internet connection) and the two Airports (extreme and express) that constitute my network. And when I clicks either of the two icons for the Airport Extreme and Airport Express, there are little windows that pop up to show the devices connected to each Airport device.
All the devices isplayed as connected have names (like Joe's-Ipad or Jane's-iphone or Joe-Blows-MacBook-Pro.local) except for one which just has the IP address 10.0.1.8 and that device is one of my MacBook Pro laptops.
Why does it display the number rather than the name of the device? I've installed the relevant OS like I have on all other devices, and I've named that device within the OS. Further, when the "numbered" device (i.e. Macbook Pro) is connected via Firewire to another Macbook Pro, it will show the device name of the one in quesiton, but in Airport Utility it just gives me an IP address.
Why is this? Not a pressing matter, but I am curious. Also, why isn't the printer shown in my network via Airport Utility? Or is it? I have one other IP address for a device I haven't been able to identify (10.0.1.6) but I thought it might be another iPhone which is connected to my wifi.
Hopefully, I've present my query in a coherent way.
Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Hey there, mine is now working!
I'm afraid I dont have an absolute solution for you though. I had the account setup on several devices with no luck then someone else removed and re added the account from one of the ipads. it started working straight away on that one then a few days later emails started coming through on the other devices too.
I have seen a few posts around that suggest you need to add and remove the account several times before it will fix itself and start working... maybe try that. Also, if you are going to upgrade to iOS5 it would probably be worth removing the account before you upgrade then re adding it once you have. That way you can be sure there are no legacy cached issues causing your problems..?
Good luck!

Why does iWeb upoad the original photo in addition to the blog photos size

Hi,
why does iWeb upoad the original photo in addition to the blog photos size?
It's a waist of webspace.
JO

Seems a bit strange having to pre-prepare an image to be manipulated by a website program that can manipulate images.
1 example, I loaded a photobooth image into Iweb (30-40k) only to find it changed it to over 240k just so it can add rounded edges..
I would like to be able to drag over a few 1meg+ images and have Iweb just use the size it needs without keeping over 13megs of images that arent used.
but it doesnt seem to do it for all images, only the 1st one of the page (like in the blog pages) 1 image is there by default, I load in say 6 images, 5 have square borders 1 has a round one and only that one had its original big brother uploaded..
Thanks for the info, at least now i can stop looking for a menu option that isnt there

Why does one of site pages show up as index in my reports?

Why does one of site pages show up as index in my reports?

Hi morganagordon,
Kindly share the URL of your site.
Also, check the Page Properties of the pages in your Muse file for the page name, page title and file name of the pages.
To check the same, you will need to open the file with Muse, go to the Plan view, right on each page thumbnail, select "Page Properties" and select the Options tab.

Why does Firefox remove the URL from the query string?

Hello there,
I've writing a servlet to read data from a file stored on a server. I'm using an HTTP <INPUT TYPE=file > element to locate the file to be read. When I run the servlet using IE as the browser it works fine. When I try running it using Firefox, the path to the file is not included in the query string. The full URL to the file shows up in the file input text field but then mysteriously disappears from the query string. Without the path, the servlet can't locate the file and the servlet fails. How do I get Firefox to include the path in the query string or is there some other workaround for this problem. I want my servlet to work on all types of browsers.
thanks,
grant

Well you may also ask it the other way. Why does Microsoft send the full path file with the input type="file" component?
The purpose of this control is to upload a file from the client to the server. That file is sent with the request.
It does not allow you to browse server files at all. Most probably you are working on your developer machine where the client IS the server, so it works right now.
It won't once they're seperate.
<input type="file"> is the wrong tool to use to browser the server. You need to write your own html pages to do that.

Why is my browser showing only http and not https

Why is my browser showing only http and not https//

Western (ISO 8859-1) is the default encoding in Firefox.<br />
That web page doesn't specify an encoding and the server doesn't send one either, so the default in Firefox is used.<br />
If you get those diamonds then you either have a wrong encoding set or there is a problem with the (Verdana) font that is used.

Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

After the most recent iOS update there is a problem with phantom photos.
Perhaps you have phantom photos, that are invisible in the Recently Deleted album and thus cannot be deleted. Then resetting the date will help. Changing the date makes the invisible photos in "Recently deleted" visible again:

Re: More photos in settings than photos app showsin response to morganfaith6 | This helped me
I managed to get rid of the phantom usage. Restoring iPhone and resetting the phone settings/data do not work for me.
I had to move the Date on my phone earlier by 1,2,3 months and found the phantom photos in the Recently Deleted Folder. Next, I deleted the photos manually from the Recently Deleted Folder and the usage got freed up from my iPhone.
