can anybody tell me if it is possible to add different sound effects for ical to use, the ones that ship are so lame, or a bit too minimalist for me, I need something that grabs my attention.
View 1 RepliesI have a Treo 650, and I use Missing Sync to sync to my Mac.
I don't need iCal to alarm me, my Treo does that perfectly fine.
So is it possible to disable iCal's alarm feature?
I use MobileMe colander sync'ed between my iPhone, iPad and Mac (Early 2010 27 inch, running OSX 10.6 with latest patches) (at home).
I have a lot of my meetings set to give me reminders prior most days so I don't forget.
Recently (in the last month) if a reminder gets pushed to iCal on my Mac while it is asleep, it won't wake up from sleep (screen stays asleep, though the HD comes to life, at it beeps as if it is wanting for me to dismiss the reminder pop-up).
I have Leopard 10.5.1 installed on my MacBook. I have assigned all but a few of my apps to various spaces.
In particular, I have an "Organization" space which has Mail, iCal, Address Book, and a couple of other organization related apps assigned to it. When I open iCal, it opens in the appropriate space. However, I would like my iCal alarms to open in every space (simultaneously displayed in all spaces). But I don't want to assign iCal to every space. Is there a particular helper app that is responsible for launching iCal alarms that I could assign to every space? Is there any other way of setting this up?
I just used the ical calibration tool to sync ical up with my google calendar and it works like a charm. I love how i can just click on dates in Mail and add them to my iCal which then pushes i to google calendar for my wife to see...that way i can sneak tennis or a round of golf in and she can't say she didn't know
At any rate-i would like to know if there's a way to pull her cal stuff to my ical. I can see all of her stuff on my google calendar, but i dont have the "right" to add her account to ical. I assume i could just have her enter in her login info - but i would like to know if that's the best way.
Trying to get them to talk to each other - I've input the Google account into iCal preferences, and it shows up fine. But I seem only able to sync one way - if I add an appointment in Google Calendar - then sync - it shows up fine in iCal. But if I add an event in iCal and then sync - it doesn't show up on the Google Calandar.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy computer has been acting strangely so I decided to empty the trash since I hadn't done so in a couple of months. The finder shows 110 "items" in the trash- some of them are folders (some of them iMovie temporary items), so I realize I have more than just 110 to delete. I don't trash many things, and certainly don't use the trash for storage! I was quite surprised and alarmed when the status bar showed over 16,000 items being deleted, so I immediately stopped the process. I then saw the trash included user files (copies?), dated the exact time I started to empty. This, together with the fact that my computer has been flaky at startup, and quite un-mac-like in frequent freezing and other troublesome behavior, had me quite concerned.Â
I asked a similar question over the weekend, but obviously wrote it too quickly and didn't make myself clear, as I only received snarky, unhelpful responses. I would really like some advice here, so I am trying again.Â
I do use Time Machine for backup, I'm hopeful that is the reason for the large number of files (including user files) in my trash, and that it is safe to go ahead and empty the trash. I'd guess that many unnecessary files would be contributing to my initial problems. However, I would feel much better if I had some confirmation from this community. If this is the case, I am also curious if I can change something so that I don't continue to have this many files going into the trash.Â

Hey,Â
I have a late 2011 MacbBook Pro with Lion. Sometimes my Mac gets vertical flickering bands almong with a really loud alam/emergency sound. Since I am in an office with svereral people, I have to swith it off by using the power button. I upgraded my RAM to 8GB (did it my self)... but there dosen't seem to be a problem with it since it says OK in the System report. Can someone please tell me what the problem might be?Â
Sincerely,Â
Johannes

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed my brand new RocketRAID 2314 in my Mac Pro (SL 10.6.2).
Everything seems to be fine except for two things:
1. There are no eject-signs next to the eternal drives' icons in Finder windows. I can, however, eject them by highlighting them and hitting cmd-e.
2. And that's the actual problem: When I switch off the external enclosure after ejecting the drives properly, the card's beeping alarm goes off.
Isn't the RR2314 even supposed to be hot-swappable? Then it should by all means let me switch off the enclosure without starting to whine, shouldn't it?
Or is it a firmware issue? I already tried to flash the card with the latest firmware using HighPoint's linux-flasher and a Knoppix CD, but the flasher couldn't find the card (which _is_ properly installed).
I recently bought a used 2009 iMac. I erased the disc and started fresh. If I do not shut the computer down every night, right around midnight, the computer plays 5 or 6 beeps (kind of a little song of beeps). It's always the same sound. I've poked around System Preferences and do not see any alarms set in there. I have also made sure that iCal does not have any alarms set up to play at midnight.
A little more info about the iMac. It pretty much has nothing on it. I added Microsoft Office and that is it. I bought it so I can move some of my music over and get myself under 25,000 songs on my main computer (so I can use iTunes Match). Other than Microsoft Office I have not added any other programs onto the computer.

I have shared a calendar with several people, but they are not receiving my alarms/alerts. Â
I add an alarm at say 30 min prior to the event, but when the even is added to their iCloud calendar, no alarm/alert added so the only notification they receive is the email they get when I create or modify the event.Â
Is there any way of enforcing the alarm to be shared, or configuing the other users settings to always have an alert. At the moment they all have no alarm at all. Â
I have tried ticking/unticking the 'ignore alerts' on the shared calendar on their Macs, but to no avail..
Everytime I upload that ical backup file... nothing happens in google calendar. It does nothing in Firefox... and safari I just get 0 was transferred. I just want to bring over my calendar to google. Does anyone know what is going on? Anything I am missing?
Loaded 10.6 last night and everything appeared to go well. However, when I opened iCal, ALL of my appointments, birthdays, events, etc. had disappeared. Unfortunately I had not backed up iCal before loading SL.
I have good SuperDuper backups of the system and I have Time Machine backups of everything, but I don't see a way to extract the appointment data from those.
I try not to have iCal running because I've got the Dateline app that stays on my desktop. Mousing over that will give me appts and such as I need to have them.
I've found, that opening iCal and messing with the input screen for a new event is kind of cumbersome, and I'm wondering if folks have found a good way to create new iCal events w minimal interaction with iCal itself.
Today 2.5 offers this as a feature, but it's $25. Macworld also had a tip, but running that Automator action opens up iCal in the background.
Are there any other solutions out there?

View 3 Replies View RelatedOkay, not sure if it's the update, or not. But both Mail, and iCal keep crashing. They'll be running fine, then just crash. I removed the Cache folders for both [I read someplace that takes care of it], but it's still happening. I am connecting to an Exchange 2007 Server, so not sure if that has anything to do with it or not? Should I re-create the accounts? Anyone else have this happen?

I'm trying to import an ics file (made by a website) in ical.
When I'm trying to import it, iCal asks me in which calendar but when I click OK, i get the following error:
iCal can't read this file. there are no activities added... (or something like that, i translated it from dutch).
I want Ical to open at login, because I am failing high school (well, math) because I always forget to do my homework, and study. So, Ical is great for that! but I always forget to check it!!! How do I get it to open at Login? I have it on the login items, but all it does it run the program, the actual window with Ical and everything never opens, just makes it run.
