Workarounds for uneditable events from invitations?

I often receive invitations from others that are worded, understandably, from their perspective -- for example, my friend Fred might send me an invitation for an event titled "Lunch with Jeff" (that's me). If I accept the invitation, I have an event on my calendar that's pretty useless to me; if I just create my own event instead, Fred doesn't get the confirmation. Similarly, I often need to add notes or URLs to invited events, but can't. I don't expect this information to be shared with my colleague; I just need it on my own Mac.
Anybody have some good practices (or sneaky tips) for working around this limitation?

Great!
I had the same issue, that could be resolved by your suggestion.
Actually, I renamed the module wpdmanager.mox to kill it's activity.
Disadvantage of this is that you will not be able to import files from SD card, but I copy to HDD using explorer anyway.
I totaly agree with your conjecture.

I have a iphone 5. How do I search for a event from 2013 under search? I do have "all events" selected

I have a iphone 5. How do I search for a event from 2013 under search? I do have "all events" selected

I would check, but I believe I have read that the calendar only lets you search back in the current year. You might find additional information about that in the User Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
What happens if you go back to a month in 2013, do you see a date with any events in it? I'm not saying the calendar is deleting data, just that you cannot search earlier than the current year.

Listening for keyPressed events from background?

Is it possible to have a java program running in the background and listen for keyPressed events? I would like for the program to listen for certain keys to be pressed and when they are manipulate the mouse. From what I've looked at so far however it seems the listening component must have focus. Thanks.

On any OS that would typically involve hooking into the OS itself.
And then manipulating OS resources as well.
Putting an app into the 'background' is also OS specific.
Given that the above is all you want to do then java is not an appropriate language choice. C++ would be better.

Dispatching & listening for custom events from custom component [Flex 4.1]

I'm giving this a try for the first time and I'm not sure I have the recipe correct!
I have a custom component - it contains a data grid where I want to double click a row and dispatch an event that a row has been chosen.
I created a custom event
package oss
    import flash.events.Event;
    public class PersonChosenEvent extends Event
        public function PersonChosenEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean=false, cancelable:Boolean=false)
            super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
        // Define static constant.
        public static const PERSON_CHOSEN:String = "personChosen";
        // Define a public variable to hold the state of the enable property.
        public var isEnabled:Boolean;
        // Override the inherited clone() method.
        override public function clone():Event {
            return new PersonChosenEvent(type);
Then I try to dispatch the event within the component when the datagrid is doubleclicked:
import oss.PersonChosenEvent
dispatchEvent(new PersonChosenEvent(PersonChosenEvent.PERSON_CHOSEN, true, false));
And in the parent application containing the component I do on creationComplete
addEventListener(PersonChosenEvent.PERSON_CHOSEN,addPersonToList);
The event does not seem to fire though. And if I try to evaluate the "new PersonChosenEvent(..." code it tells me "no such variable".
What am I doing wrong?
(It was so easy in VisualAge for Java, what have we done in the last 10 years?? )
Martin

I've done this kind of thing routinely, when I want to add information to the event. I never code the "clone" method at all.
Be sure that you are listening to the event on a parent of the dispatching component.
You can also have the dispatching component listen for the event too, and use trace() to get a debug message.
I doubt if it has anything to to with "bubbles" since the default is true.
Sample code
In a child (BorderContainer)
dispatchEvent(new ActivationEvent(ActivationEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE,null,window));
In the container parent (BorderContainer)
activation.addEventListener(ActivationEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE,activationEvent);
package components.events
    import components.containers.SemanticWindow;
    import components.triples.SemanticActivation;
    import flash.events.Event;
    public class ActivationEvent extends Event
        public static const LOADED:String = "ActivationEvent: loaded";
        public static const CREATION_COMPLETE:String = "ActivationEvent: creation complete";
        public static const RELOADED:String = "ActivationEvent: reloaded";
        public static const LEFT_SIDE:String = "ActivationEvent: left side";
        public static const RIGHT_SIDE:String = "ActivationEvent: right side";
        private var _activation:SemanticActivation;
        private var _window:SemanticWindow;
        public function ActivationEvent(type:String, activation:SemanticActivation, window:SemanticWindow)
            super(type);
            _activation = activation;
            _window = window
        public function get activation():SemanticActivation {
            return _activation;
        public function get window():SemanticWindow{
            return _window;

How do i display events from different calendars side by side and not on top of each other

I must have something set up wrong on one of my calendars on my macbook pro 10.7. On one of the calendars, the events do not make space for an event from another calendar so I can see both events sidi by side in a week or day view.
When I view from the web icloud, it looks right:

Hi Hotch,
I have been having the exact same problem, however, I am not seeing your graphic. From your description, though, I can tell we have the same problem. This has only become a problem since migrating everything over to iCloud and since upgrading to Lion.
Can anyone help us out there?!?!?!?!?

IOS 7 Calendar alerting for past events

Has anyone else experienced this ...
At 9:30 this morning (03-Oct) I got an alert for an event from last week (26-Sep).
Then at 10:00 I got an alert for another event from last week (26-Sep).
Upon examining the events, I saw the alerts set as:
9:30 event – alert 1 = one week before
10:00 event – alert 1 = 1 day before, alert 2 = 1 week before
After upgrading to iOS7 I set the default calendar alert to "1 week before" – that might explain why the second event's alert 2 is set earlier than alert 1.
But it doesn't explain the "you were supposed to be doing this last week" alert popping up.
Any thoughts (other than some date arithmetic gone awry)?

iPilot1 - after I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 I got an even bigger surprise - the default alert time for any new event I created was "7 days after". I kid you not. At the top of the list of options, before "None".
However I just went back to the Calendar settings to check the default alert time, and nothing was ticked.
I chose "1 week before", and Hey Presto, new events default to "1 week before".
Of course, I won't know this has worked for sure until I get an alert.

Listening for click event

I am curious, how can you have a child mxml page listen for
an event from the parent?
Let's say you have a button, call it 'btn1' on page1.mxml and
you want to listen for the click event on page2.mxml. So far this
is what I have:
page1.mxml:
<mx:Button id="btn1" />
page2.mxml:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function btnListener(e:MouseEvent){
Application.application.btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
setState(1));
]]>
</mx:Script>

My wife recieved invite event from my PC Outlook. She accepted it, but it never showed up on her iCloud or iCal on our iMac. Then I removed her as an invitee and it did not remove the event from her iPhone. So now she has a event on her iPhone that is not on either her iCloud or iCal. How do I remove it from her iPhone?

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

How do I print a list of my events from one of my calendars for tax purposes?

How do I print a list of my events from one of my calendars for tax purposes?

I actually began this process by creating a new calendar called "Medical" and then each event was assogned to this calendar but the program still wants to print out every day of the month for even those days that have no events. The list view gives me the look I want and I have even tried deselecting all of the options and then reselecting them one at a time to no avail.

Listen for Events from anywhere

Hello!
I have an application with a rather complicated component hierarchy.
How can I have it so that I can listen for events from any component in any component, regardless of who is who's child?
Thank you!

You need a broadcasting mechanism.
Many architecture framework offers this facility, but as a quick hack you can try something like
public class Broadcaster extends EventDispatcher ( singleton anti pattern )
instance
then just do Broadcaster.instance.addEventListener or removeEventListener. it's a crappy singleton, but at least it does not hold any global state.
I've also seen people use Application.application to dispatch/listen globally but really don't like it.
Note : Use weak references or your views will never be eligible for garbage collections.

Workaround for PSE 6 "Exclude photos from category" bug

PSE 6 Organizer broke the ability to exclude from a search all photos tagged with a category or a tag within that category. Heres a partial workaround:
Suppose you want to show all photos not tagged with the Places category or a tag within the Places category. In previous versions, youd right-click Places in the Keywords Pane and select Exclude photos with Places category from search results. Thats broken in PSE 6 so instead, do this:
1. In the Find bar, Show All. (This shows all photos.)
2. In the Keyword Tags pane, check the box to the left of Places. (This shows only those photos tagged with Places or a tag within the Places category.)
3. In the Find bar, select Options > Hide Best Match Results and then select Options > Show Results that Do Not Match. (Only photos not tagged with Places or a tag within the Places category will be shown.)
Unfortunately, you cant combine this workaround with additional search criteria, i.e. all photos without a Places tag and in the date range 1986 2000.
Thanks much to JonE at Elements Village who suggested this.

Thomas,
Yeah, that's the limitation of the workaround.
Unfortunately, this is still broken in PSE 7. Its ironic that your use-case is precisely the one described in the PSE 6 and 7 User Guides as an example of how to use exclusion.
The text search box in PSE 7 provides a partial workaround for some uses of exclusion. You can do not places to find photos not yet tagged with any tag in the Places category. You can do not people to find all photos with no tags in the People category. But larry and not people wont find photos containing just Larry and not any other people it excludes all photos with any tag in the People category.
Another limitation of the text search box is that it matches all the text in the photo tags, categories, captions, notes, etc. So when I search for jasper, I get photos tagged with People > Friends > Jasper as well as Places > Jasper National Park.

ICal keeps sending alarms for past events and won't let me delete items from calendar, I hit delete but the event just keeps multiplying on my calendar?

iCal just started repeatedly sending me alarms a couple of days ago. I thought deleting the event from my calendar would help but it won't let me delete them, they just keep multiplying in my calendar. Help please

Hello again,
Well I seem to have overcome the problem, but not easily, and not by identifying the cause. I don't like that I don't know what caused the trouble. I make no guarantees, but this is what I did (on an iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8). Be sure to create backup copies of your files first:
[Note: before you do any of this, you may want to try running Disk Utility program (found in Applications/Utilities/) and run the "Repair Permissions" option. See if that solves anything, but it didn't for me]
a) I exported my iCal as an archive: Menu item, "File/Export/iCal Archive...". This won't likely do you any good, though, as something was wrong with it and I could not re-import it. But try anyhow.
b) After backing them up, I deleted the folders and contents inside the Calendars folder: "Users/<your user name>/Library/Calendars/<subdirectories>". To create a backup, right-click on the Calendar folder and choose "compress Calendars" from the pop-up menu. Then drag the folder contents into the trash.
c) After creating backup copies, delete (drag into the trash) these preferences files found in "Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences" (the slashes delimit the folder names):
Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iCal.helper.<some convoluted hex number>.plist
d) Restart your computer;
e) Launch iCal and reimport the individual calendar files you exported earlier.
Hopefully all is well.
Let me emphasize again that you will not likely succeed in reimporting the calendar archive. In the first place it likely contains corrupted data that caused your trouble in the first place. So you will need to import the individual calendars that have been exported. Be very certain to export these individually first.
And if you want to make doubly certain, then copy and paste some of your important and key events into a TextEdit file and save that file in case you don't succeed.
Perhaps you subscribed to some online calendar? If I recall correctly I had imported a calendar when the World Cup Soccer series was happening; I speculate that might have contributed to the issue. I wish I could have found exactly what caused the trouble. It may have been some older, less compatible format that was retained through a series of Mac OS updates.
Good luck.

How do I populate my "onmicrosoft" calendar with my events from "on mycomputer" in outlook for mac 2011

I have seen Robert Twellman's answer about a microsoft exchange account workaround for sync outlook for mac with iphone but . . . . I cannot figure out how to get my "on mycomputer" calendar events (about 1800) onto the "onmicrosoft" calendar. I tried import but that just creates an archive on my computer. Help please.

Hi Francorosso,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have downloaded the iCloud Control Panel on your Windows computer and would like to sync your contacts and calendars between your iPhone and computer. There are two different resources I would recommend reading over and working through in this situation.
The first article I wold recommend using as a resource is the one linked below. This article will help you isolate and troubleshoot the syncing disconnect between your iPhone and Outlook calendars.
Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010 - Apple Support
To further troubleshoot calendar syncing issues, please review the Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook) section of the next attached article.

How to register an event for LV event structure from WinApi "PostMessage"?

Hello experts,
I'm using a standard cardreader (RS232/USB) which I access via the manufacturer's API, this works fine so far. However I don't want to poll the status of the reader all the time. The cardreader sends windows messages using the WIN API "PostMessage" as soon as there is a status change (insert card into reader, reader disconnect etc.)
Now how can I use this fact to get an event for my event structure? Any ideas?
Thank you
Melanie

hello Melanie,
This may be tricky but you could use the Windows Message Queue Library example to get the messages from the USB drivers;

And from then create a custom user event based on the POSTMESSAGES received;
