Why have random reminders been added to Calendar v8 appointments?

Have macbook pro 8,1 (early 2011) with 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 4 GB memory. Updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on 11/17/14. Issue with Calendar v8. Generally set 1 day and 2 hour reminders for most appointments but now have random reminders on every appointment that are based on specific dates and time. Also, upon opening calendar defaulted to correct day and month but in 2013. Not sure exactly when problem started but can attest was not experiencing problem as of 11/15/24.

I don't understand the move to separate lists of To Do items apart from the iCal.
It has been made consistent with the way it is on OS X computers and iOS mobile devices.
Also, it no longer seems possible to add a due date to these items.
It is. Just click the Details button on the right (same as clicking the i button on your Mac)

That's only for the iPhone 5. On the 4 and 4S, they can repair the back glass in store for $30. They will not replace the display on a 4 or 4S. They must replace the entire phone. Replacing the display on them requires disassembling the entire phone, which they will not do in store.

Why don't I have the same options in my calendar for appointments iCloud/iPad

Why don't I have the same opoisions in my calendar for appointments? Online in iCloud calendar there are options to pick from for days of the week and how many weeks to set an appointment. Why can't I do this on my iPhone or iPad? Am I missing a setting to be able to do this? I make most of my apointments away from my desk and would like to send a invitation at that time.

Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

Why have I not been notified of Software Updates?

Two aspects of what is perhaps one general problem here.
One, I normally log into my MacBook as a non-administrator user and so don't then expect to be informed of Software Updates. If I've heard of them via MacFixit or whatever, then I know to run Software Update manually, authenticating as an administrator. Recently, however, I switched on my MacBook, logged in as an administrator and, when no notification of a software update was given to me (the administrator user has "Check for updates daily" and "Download important updates automatically" checked), decided to start System Preferences to look at the Software Update status. To my surprise, it had a message about not having been able to connect to the Internet, even though immediately after this I did have a working wireless connection. It seems that if I login as an administrator before the connection is made, Software Update terminates without having found any waiting updates. This has presumably been put there every time I've started up as administrator, which explains why I've never been notified of a software update - or alerted to this problem! Isn't this rather dangerous?
Two, I logged on today as my normal non-administrator account, got a wireless connection, and browsed the web a bit. Then I logged off and logged on again as an administrator. The System Preferences Software Update panel showed "Last check: Software update ran successfully" with a time just after my login as an administrator. I presumed that all was well, that my system was completely up to date, but decided on a whim to press the "Check now" button. Imagine my surprise when I saw that three updates, including MacOS X 10.5.4, awaited me! So, why wasn't I notified of these updates immediately I logged in as administrator?
How many MacOS X users are there out there who, because of this behaviour, not having applied updates - even security updates - manually, have insecure unpatched systems? If the problem is widespread, shouldn't someone be alerting Mac owners to the need to keep our systems updated?

Fortunately the Mac environment doesn't suffer from major security flaws that need urgent patching (contrary to the implication in the Mac help file) and so there is little drama in delaying updates. I personally do not install updates until some time after release so that any bugs can hopefully be ironed out.
However that doesn't address why your software update is not doing its job. You could look at this page to see whether it is any help:

Why have my pictures been rotated after sync?

picture taken in 'normal' iPhone position (portrait) are downloaded and viewed in the same position on my mac. so far so good... but when i sync the folder i put them in back to my iPhone, they have been rotated 90°. why is this and how to avoid that?

I am not sure if this will help but here is what i noticed. I took some pictures on the iPhone in portrait mode. When i sync these over to my PC they are rotated 90 degrees to landscape mode. If you think about, this is how a normal camera works - 4x6 pictures are landscape, so if you use the camera in portrait (6x4) by rotating the camera, then transferred pictures are sideways on the PC.
In windows XP, i can view the pics in explorer in thumbnail view and right-click -> rotate-right
Interestingly enough, when i got a pic emailed to me that was taken in portrait mode by regular camera, and then rotated so it looked portrait on the screen on a pc (6x4), the iphone saved it as a 4x6.
So it seems that the PC assumes images transferred in should always be displayed as in a landscape mode unless rotated. And the iPhone exhibits the same behavior - an email image in portrait mode saved to the iPhone is saved as a landscape (this ***** as rotating the phone, rotates the image, so it is always sideways). And this holds for synced images. If i take a picture with the iPhone in portrait mode, copy it to the PC where it is sideways because it is displayed in landscape, and then sync it back to the iPhone (without rotating it), the iPhone displays it sideways (landscape mode).
The real solution is to be able to rotate and save the pic on the iPhone.

Why have my emails been blocked from downloading?

The email below was sent to me saying I have been automatically removed from the CCLIST1 list (Calorie Count Monday) as a result of repeated delivery error reports from my mail system and indicating my email account does not exist and that I may be permanently unable to receive emails on my OS and iOS devices.
This is the second time in three months it has happened. At that time I couldn't find any help on the web or from computer-savy friends regarding how and why it happened or how to rectify the situation. After a week or two my email was permanently blocked and I had to change my email address and contact a couple hundred people and businesses with the new address -- many hours were spent doing this. I could still read my emails and send them on my service provider's website, CenturyLink. This was very helpful as many of the web accounts I had required email address verifications before they would accept account information changes.
My internet/email service provider tried to help by having me redo setting up the Mac Mail account on my iMac. That didn't work. I also went online to Apple to again use the method for resetting the Mail account as well as look for answers.
I received the email below yesterday, so hopefully I have some time to solve the problem before my email is blocked from downloading to my devices.
Any advice and step-by-step directions on rectifying this problem would be very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bonnie

I read a few more discussions on this problem elsewhere on-line with the suggestion that I had a bug on my computer that hijacked my email account to send emails elsewhere (not that I had any clue on how to discover that on my computer).
I followed the suggestion to access my email account on-line and change my password and make it stronger. I did that and was able to get my emails downloaded to my computer and other devices.
I'm pretty sure that my original problem started when I unsubscribed from the Calorie Counter on-line newsletter by pressing a link at the bottom of the email I received from them. A screen came up that said I was unsubscribed and then disappeared in a flash.The experience seemed odd and weird compared to other times when I've unsubscribed from something.
As a test I resubscribed to the newsletter and then unsubscribed. I was directed to one of CCounter's internal web pages and went through a couple of steps in order to finish the process... all very professional and obviously on the newsletter's website.
So the lesson I learned was have a strong password for my email and change it occasionally. And do the same for other accounts that are password protected.

Why have my bookmarks been turned into Bing Searches for those sites? Why do I get a Bing Search when I manually type in the address?

Ever since I installed FireFox 4, I seem to have lost the function of my bookmarks. They simply open up Bing Searches for those sites. I don't even like Bing, why does it keep getting installed into my Firefox?
When I type in the address manually into the address bar (NOT the search bar), I get a Bing Search for the address as well.

I think an add-on has hijacked your browser. If this started with Firefox 4, are you sure you installed the official package from http://www.mozilla.com/ ?
In past threads similar to this, people mentioned a Zugo Search Bar, but I haven't dug into it deeply.
First, make a backup of your Firefox settings for safekeeping: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does running Firefox without add-ons fix it?
If so, you could disable them all and then gradually restore the ones that are most valuable to you.
If not, there might be some external software intercepting Firefox's communications.

Why have my playlists been multiplied?

My family has recently started using iCloud and my MacBook and my iPad are both synced with it. I created a playlist on my iPad and even though I have now deleted it it has also shown up in my library on my MacBook, except it has been duplicated a lot. I think this is what is slowing down my iTunes, because ever since this has started it has taken forever to start up and then it becomes non-responsive after a little while.

I feel like a bit of an idiot, sorted this problem myself!
Somehow, and i have no idea how, i managed to uncheck/untick all 114 songs on the playlist that didnt appear to transfer to my iphone or my ipod.
Having seen this by accident i rechecked/ticked them and would you believe it, all is well again!
My faith in Apple is restored, my faith in my IT skills is a little dented.

Why have i never been here

After being away from this forum, as well as the lightroom and camera raw forums, for 24-48 hours, i am no longer recognized. The discussions i started are not listed and no points have been awarded and no unanswered questions from me are listed. I do see my user name at top.
I feel stupid asking about this, but has something changed at adobe or has my computer lost my identity. My computer is unchanged. iMac i7 with os 10.6.4
I have a feeling i am going to be embarrassed by asking this question.
BE GENTLE.

Do you have multiple Adobe IDs?
If you do this may happen if you are not observant on if you are logged in or not at the Forum page (not at the top of the page whcih very well can show you as logged in).
I have 4 different Adobe IDs (don't ask, it's historical) and some of them point to the very same Adobe account that shows at top of the page, some to another. I don't dare to delete any user account as I have software registred in some of those accounts. If I am logged in as my main AdobeID via the Forum page and am inactive for a certain amount of time, it sometimes happens that the Adobe site all by itself switches my identity. I only see that when I answer something. So if you see something from me where I've been a member since 2009 that's the wrong ID. The right one is from 2002.

TS4083 Why have I not been getting email suddenly (started three days ago)

I have not receved an email since Friday April 5th. No changes to settings.
I can still send emails apparently.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Why have I lost recently added photos from iPhoto?

My wife downloaded some photos of a recent trip to her iPhoto account, which fortunately also automatically saved on her iPad. However, shortly afterwards the photos disappeared from the iPhoto folder (which still showed up in iPhoto with the same folder name but which was greyed out and empty). I then downloaded all the photographs again from her iCloud account into the main photo directory. This morning, trying to create an album of the best photos she found that the directly was yet again greyed out and empty.
Is this a common problem, and how do I get these photographs to remain on the computer hard drive? I believe the iCloud account will only hold them for 30 days so time is pressing.
I am running the latest OS Maverick on an iMac.
Thanks
David

Do you have the iPhoto library iCloud preferences setup as follows on your Mac?

Why have Link previews been moved to the bottom of the page? I have a toolbar on my my site and my users cant see it because the link preview is obscuring it...

Well as I can see from other questions asked people are already aware that when you hover over a link the link preview appears at the bottom of the page instead of the status bar.
Other people have said to install https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
Well thats fine for me to do that but what about the users who come to my site and cant see my toolbar at the bottom because the link preview (with a long URL) is obscuring it? I cant tell them to go and install an addon, what bright spark thought of this I find it very disrupting.

As far as I know, [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ the Classic Theme Restorer add-on] is the only way move the Reload button outside the address bar.
# Install [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] and restart Firefox when prompted.
# Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
# Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
# On the Main tab, make sure "Movable back-forward button" and "Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons" are checked. You might also want to check "Combine stop & reload buttons". Close the options window when done.
# Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
# Drag the Back/Forward, Stop and Reload buttons onto the navigation toolbar.
# Click the Exit Customize button in the lower right corner when done.
That being said, I should point out that you can reload pages in other ways.
* Right-click any tab and choose Reload.
* Right-click an empty area of the page and choose Reload.
* Press F5.
* Press Ctrl+R (Mac: Command+R).

How do i view all photos on ipad that haven't been added to an album yet?

I have over a thousand pictures on my iPad. I want to sort them into albums. But I am running into difficulties.
(1) After adding a bunch of images to various albums, I am sure I missed a few. Is there a way to just see ONLY those pictures that have NOT yet been added to any album? Can this be done in Photos app, or do I have to buy iPhoto or something else?
(2) Is there any app that can overlay on top of each image thumbnail a set of icons where each overlaid icon represents one of the albums that the photo is currently in?
Thanks.

No... the whole point of my question is that I want to organize my photos on my iPad prior to putting them on my computer. I have a lot of "dead time" on the bus/train/plane where using iPad for this would be ideal. I find it shocking that it lacks this basic capability in the built-in software.
Surely there must be an app which can access the images I've already imported to iPad using the Camera Connection Kit, and allow me to sort them out into folders or albums. Photos app already does most of what I'd like it to do, but it does not let you filter images by which albums they don't belong to. I.e. you can't see which images aren't sorted into at least one album yet. Photos app also lacks metadata viewing/filtering/tagging/rating. Heck even my PS3 can show metadata...!
I am constantly mystified at Apple's lack of what I would consider pretty basic features. There are some ideas, like the classic Mac GUI file/folder desktop analogy, that to me are timeless. I have yet to see the benefit or advantage to iOS's crippling lack of the ability to work with files in a logical or direct way. I do understand how letting the app itself organize its own documents into directories itself helps it keep track of files for the purposes of using CoreData to create more informative views and organizational structures. However in Unix there are abundant ways to have this cake and eat it too -- you can do what TimeMachine does, which is to create hard links to files, so any given file can simultaneously exist in multiple different folders without necessitating duplicated data. Why can't Photos app therefore let me organize my files into folders the way I want to, in a standard, Mac-like way, without disrupting its own DB, simply by usig hard links or symbolic links, or something like this? Why not have file system layer that refers to each file by a UUID instead of by a directory path?
I am so tired of the gimped file system of iOS. First they said it was for security on iPhone. But then when iPad came out and it was the same way, then the excuse changes to, "People just like it better this way, and so should you." Wait, so 1984-2007 didn't happen...? You can't suddenly act like the Macintosh desktop analogy is suddenly an irrelevant bad idea. Just because people suffer through the lameness that is iTunes File Sharing, doesn't mean they universally would like it better if they could just access their files right in the Finder instead of through a kludge-funnel.

My iphone 5 has been deleting my calendar. This is the third time- now it deletes my contacts, notes and reminders as well. Why is it doing this, and how can I restore everything?

My iPhone 5s has been deleting my calendar. First time, just the calendar, then next time the calendar and contacts, then yesterday, calendar, contacts, notes and reminders. The phone is only 6 months old or so and is on iOS 7.1.2 (although I need to update it- but have to do some storage management first...)
I have looked at my calendar in my icloud account and it is a week or so out of date, even though it supposedly backed up from my phone on Friday. I am becoming very frustrated by this. Am I doing something wrong? Advice would be much appreciated. In the past I have deleted my icloud account from my phone and then re-signed in, as well as sharing my calendar with myself to restore it, and it works eventually.

Sorry I misstyped- it is an iphone 4s.
