Yosemite - How to use calendar

I just bought this 27" iMac and trying to use the calendar and can't find out HOW without  using that contact thing, which I have no use for.  Can that be done like on the old calendar I used in 10.6.8?  

All you need to do is open the contact, click the birthday date and select Show this date in Calendar! Calendar is a great app, please learn to use it and if you still are stuck go speak to a Genius (free consultation) or call AppleCare.

  • How to use calendar & contacts

    I am a brand new convert from palm to BB.  Palm's desktop was straightforward in terms of using the calendar and contact.
    1.  What is a good program to use for a calendar & contact? 
    2.  How do I sync the palm info to BB?  I am searching the net and cannot find anything.
    3.  Anyway to keep/mark a contact as private like yuo can in Plam?
    4.  Is there anyway I can just open on the desktop a calendar or contact and type in the various info vs. inputting direct into the BB?
    Your help is appreciated!! 

    I am also finding this difficult to use - I got the BB especially for the calendar and contacts.  I wanted to be able to sync my BB to my PC so I could always have an updated schedule with me.  I was also hoping to be able to use a desktop calendar to enter all my contacts into and have it sync to my bb.
    I currently dont have a desktop calendar, and I don't have Outlook - how is this supposed to work?
    My bf has a Samsung Jack and it came with software to download to his computer. He was able to type all his contacts into it and have it sync to his Jack, same for his calendar.
    This is not what i expected it to be - wishin I had gone with the Jack 

  • How to Use calendar service via internet not intranet

    Hello:
    I wanted to know if there is any change or stuff (like proxy web server) to use the calendar via Internet.
    i.e.
    i access the calendar on my networ througth http://hostname.domainname.com:portnumbre.
    When i try to access via internet therougth www.domainname:portnumer, it cannot be accesible.
    What are the procedures, by the way i have used the evaluation senario for this.
    Thanks in advice.

    Hi:
    Thanks for the reply but still yet it does not fix my problem.
    Let me explain a little bit more:
    The DNS looks up to the ip so the access page can be reached, but when i try to use the service it does not work.
    So i guess i need to ad some line to ics.conf?? or something else:
    My domain internally just works fine.
    host.mydomain.com:3080
    and i access and use the clalendar
    however when outside the intranet i.e my home i use:
    www.mydomain.com:3080
    It accesses to the page where it asks me for login, but it does not authenticate. and continues asking for a user.
    That�s why i think there must be some change in the configuration or software.
    Once More
    Thanks

  • How to use Calender..

    Hi guys,
    I have problem to learn using Calendar. Any ways that i can learn the calendar. I want to build a calender and before doing that I want to learn
    how to use Calendar in java.util. can Anybody help me.
    thanks

    Well, first off read the Javadocs. Get a Calendar object with Calendar.getInstance(); Initially it will hold the data and time it was created. Basicaly it accesses the date and time broken down into year, month, week, day, hour, minute,second and millisecond and you can retrive these values, set any one of them to a specific value or add or subtract any number of days, weeks, etc.. In generally seting any of the units will leave the other fields unaffected. When you have the date you want getTime will convert it to a standard Date format. Generally don't use calendars for formating or reading dates and times, use DateFormat. Calendar is mostly for calculations.

  • How to use Finder in Yosemite?

    I'm looking for a simple guide on how to use the Finder app in Yosemite.  I have a number of questions, mostly around limiting search results.  I find that Finder and Spotlight generally produce too many search results.  For example:
    1. How do I find folders (not documents) on my Mac whose names start with the letters ABC?
    2. How do I ensure that hidden files are included in the search results?
    3.  Once I find the file I am looking for, what's the easiest way to copy the path name into another Finder window or tab, so that I can see all the files within that path name?
    I know how to accomplish the above tasks, but my techniques are multi-step, and they seem clunky and inefficient.  So I assume there must be better ways.  Hence the search for a good training guide.  Thx

    Have you started here?

    From there you can narrow your search

  • How to use the method calendar.getTimeInMillis() and setTimeInMillis(bb)

    I have met some problems in writing my programme,I want to know what the time is after every 20 minutes so have written some codes as below ,but the compilar warned me that there are some errors in them ,and I don't know how to use them correctly ,can you help me?
    Thank you very much!
    the code is:
    begin=datime+" 00:00:00";
    Calendar calendar=Calendar.getInstance();
    DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
    Date start=df.parse(begin);
    calendar.setTime(start);
    long aa=calendar.getTimeInMillis();
    calendar.setTimeInMillis(aa);

    Hopefully the following snippet of code will help you out (note that the Date class seems more appropriate for what you need to do):
    import java.util.*;
    import java.text.*;
          String begin="00:00:00";
          SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
          df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
          Date start=new Date();
          try {
             start=df.parse(begin);
          } catch (Throwable e) {
             System.out.println("Invalid time format");
          long aa=start.getTime();   // to get the time in milliseconds
          System.out.println(aa);    // just to see what the answer is (should be zero)
          start.setTime(aa);         // to set the time in milliseconds
    ...V.V.

  • Calendar.getTimeInMillis() . How to use it ?

    Calendar car = Calendar.getInstance()
    Now I want it in milisecs.
    How ?

    You can use Calendar.getTime().getTime(). The first getTime returns a Date object, and Date.getTime() return the time in milliseconds. If you just want to know the current time in milliseconds, then use swingfreaks option.

  • How to use os x yosemite calculator - need decimal points

    I updated to OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 for my Mac.  I cannot figure out how to use the calculator!  All I want is to add dollars and cents.  How do I get a decimal point?  I've searched the web and don't see this addressed.

    I double checked.  No decimal point anywhere!  I tried typing in a number with a period….nothing.
    Along the top row it has ASCII, Unicode, Show Binary buttons and 8, 10, 16.  I tried them all. 
    I have AND , OR, NOR, XOR, <<,>>, X<<Y, X>>Y, bite flip, word flip in the first two columns. Letters and numbers in the next three columns, and AC, C, RoL, RoR, 2's, and 1's buttons along with math operation symbols in the last 2 columns.
    I can't believe I can't just add up numbers with decimals when doing simple math!
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Hi, I've checked how to use kannada keyboard in Yosemite. But, there are some 'vattu forms' and other grammar in Kannada language that I don't know how to use it. For eg, Preetiya taatanige nimma muddu mommagalu maduva namaskara? How to write this?

    Hi, I've checked how to use Kannada keyboard in Yosemite. But, there are some 'vattu forms' and other grammar in Kannada language that I don't know how to use it. I know how to change between the keyboards and can also view keyboard. However, For eg, 'Preetiya taatanige nimma muddu mommagalu maduva namaskara' How to write this? If anybody can answer this, very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    In general, you need to use the "f" (kannada qwerty keyboard) or "d" key (kannada) between letters to make special forms.  Also you may need to adjust the typography settings of the font, which is done by doing Format > Font > Show Fonts > Gear Wheel > Typography as shown below.  If you can provide screenshots or more detailed info on things you cannot make, I can perhaps help.
    It is important to note that MS Word for Mac does not support Indic scripts -- any other app should work OK.

  • How to run bash script using Calendar

    Hi folks.
    How can I run a bash script using Calendar?  I thought I had to park it in an AppleScript script which I could call, but that isn't really working.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Cheers

    Hi there.  Thanks for the reply.
    Some notes for the replies:
    - The shell script has no environment issues.  It's a straight mysqldump for a single database.
    - The AppleScript has the do shell script "path/to/script.sh" user name "root" password "wobblyhead" with administrator privileges
    - Calendar application can only recognize the .scptd and .scpt files, and not .app files.  Upon choosing my original .scpt file with the do shell script instruction, it just opens the file in AppleScript Editor. 
    So the file gets called, but for some reason, it just opens the file and won't run the file.  No options for choosing a format where it's actually run. 
    Not sure how to go about this. 
    Cheers
