OS X Mavericks :: Can Calendar Event Name Contain Time
Aug 25, 2014
When I enter an event in calendar, I name it and put the time right after the name. It then enters the time in the detail box that can be opened up regarding the event. What I want to do, however, is show the time in the calendar, right after the name, without opening up the detail box. If I open up the detail box and edit the name by adding the time, it will stay there. Is there a way for me to avoid this extra step and have the time show up right after the event name when I create the event?
How do I get the Calendar to repeat an event just one day a week? It always wants to repeat across all days and all weeks, not just the one day each week I want.Â
I've got a client who would like to audit calendar event removal. I'm not finding any seemingly good method for this, and I'm not seeing deletions being logged.
I want to start an event in the calendar, on this very day, for after 2 weeks (just giving an example).Also I want to add an notification, that is going to notify me and all the invitees, for example 10 before the very event.How can I do that? I tried to do it, but it only reminds me, not the invitees.
I sometimes like to put times (e.g., 10pm) in the titles of my events. I do this because I want to see the time in the event title for certain events. Apple's ical thinks it knows what I want (it doesn't!) and deletes this information from the title, probably to schedule the event at that time, which is ridiculous because I sent the time of the event when I create it. how to turn this function off.Â

I am trying to use iCloud calendar services for collaboration with my wife, and my secretary (I actually even bought a mac for my wife so that we could do this). However every time either of them change anything in their respective calendars I get an e-mail from iCloud saying an event has been created. This only started about a week ago. I have checked to see if some of my settings in iCloud have changed, and they haven't (the box in iCloud that says: "E-mail me when this calendar changes" is not ticked). Why I am suddenly getting all these e-mails which are quite irritating.

1) my wife wanted my work schedule 2) to test - I exported it into a file and try to reimport it 3) for every date, I am getting an error message. "the event "Â Â Â " Was rejected by iCloud because it already exists"Â Â => Ignore, try again, revert to server"Â
I probably have several thousand of these, going back years. I can't seem to stop the import - force quit and restart and it starts up again.  I may have just rendered my calendar program totally useless. How do I stop this import.
Since moving to Yosemite I've been getting this error message with calendar - "Calendar can't save event "{event name}" to the Exchange server."Â
I'm unable to find any fix, including turning on/off time zone support. I've also re-established the exchange account more than once - each time the error eventually comes back (with a different calendar event).Â
Here's a link to a discussion on this subject, however, it was created under OS X Mountain Lion. I never encountered this issue prior to Yosemite. Thus, I created a new discussion here under OS X Yosemite.
I have about 30 calendars, one for each bill (and misc). Each bill is set to repeat monthly.In the past, I'd just paste in the confimation into this month's event, tell it to only update that particular one, then it would replicate to all my devices. Since Yosemite, this does not happen. I've lost a lot of information before I caught it.
This is happening on a Mac mini (home Mac) and a Mac I use at work and JUST set up with a fresh install of Yosemite. I have un-synced calendars to my Macs, re-synced, but any updates to repeating events never hit iCloud.com - if I make a non-repeating one-off event, it goes through.
I have made entirely new calendars in case it was the calendar itself, but a brand new one I just made (that repeats on the 1st of every month) wouldn't replicate to iCloud. It will show the data in the event until I close Calendar and re-launch it. Then it's gone, like it never was there.
I've also noticed that on my iPhone 6+ (8.1.1), even though everything is set to Push, I have to manually pull down on Calendars (in the Calendars option) to have it refresh and pull down new calendars and changes. Same thing on the iPhone in regard to repeating events, too. I have great cellular and Wi-Fi connections, so that is not the issue. I feel I'm back in MobileMe days when I constantly had this issue and thought iCloud was a god-send.
I'm new to using the Apple Calendar to list new events added. Previously, I used Microsoft Outlook 2010 for my business needs on my old PC and that worked perfectly for adding new jobs. Recently I made the change to a 27" iMac running Yosemite (which I love) and I purchased MS Office 365 for all of my business templates and approximately 1,000 customers. The MS Outlook program is having a lot of trouble syncing to the Apple Calendar which wasn't a problem on my old PC.
So, I thought that I could just use the suite of programs included with my new iMac instead of Outlook. Unfortunately, when adding a new event and add a customer as a location, it will only list their address and not their phone number which is something that I must have. I understand that I will have the contacts listed with me always, but I don't want to have to switch between programs to pull up the listed contacts #. If this is not available then I fear that I will have to revert back to MS Outlook and just figure out what is preventing it from properly syncing with Calendar. I use the Calendar app on both my iPhone 5 and my iPad Air religiously so in the end it all comes back to Calendar.

When I hide a Google calendar from the calendar list online, the calendar continues to show up on Mac OS X Mavericks Calendar. How can I get that calendar to not show up in Apple's Calendar without completely deleting it from my Google account?
If I add an event to iCal such as "Tomorrow 9am Breakfast meeting with George", the event will automatically show up in my calendar assigned to tomorrow 9am. I don't have to go into the event window and enter the time and date.Â
But I cannot figure out how to enter the text for an all-day event. I have to manually go into the event, click on the time, then select "all-day" and hit enter.Â
Any way to do this by simply typing some version of "all-day" into the event text?

I'm invited to a recurring event (a weekly meeting), which is an event sent by someone else that I accepted, so it shows up on my calendar. However, I can't seem to set an alert on it, so I either sometimes overlook the meeting start time or I have to create a whole new calendar event just so I can set an alert.
Apparently I allowed iCloud to delete all of my calendar and reminder information from my Mac.Can I restore it from iCloud, if not can I restore it from Time Machine?
I'm trying to find a way to have a script create an iCal event for a day away. I use (current date + 1 * days) but this creates the event one day away at the time the script runs. is there a way to create the event one day away at 8:00am each time?
Whenever I make events in ical, it default creates an hour-long event. I find myself using ical's events more as a specific to-do list, so every day I would prefer these events to be "all-day." I'm getting tired having to tinker around so much whenever I make an event on a date, especially when there's multiple on every day. I've read online that apparently in 10.7(lion) that people are having the opposite problem and would prefer for events to be defaulted as a specific time frame.
I've read suggestions to open terminal and type in: defaults write com.apple.iCal 'Default duration in minutes for new event' 15 Which brings me to my question: is there any way in the terminal to change it to automatically make events checked "all-day."
For some reason, the time of my events stopped showing in iCal. I get the event, but the time doesn't show unless I click on the event. The time does show in week view, but I prefer to use month view. This has not been an issue in the past, so I don't know what happened or if I clicked on something accidentally. I tried going to iCal preferences, but I don't see anything that allows me to select "show time in month view" which has been suggested by other usI'm using OS X Yosemite.Â
I've got an issue with time machine. It seems to be stuck at preparing backups for a long time, and after backing up, it indexes all the time. So a backup process takes about an hour. Started happening a few days ago. Using Airport Extreme with a disk connected over the network. Tried resetting and deleting the spotlight file as specified on pondini troubleshooting D2.
Here is a log file: Starting standard backup Attempting to mount network destination URL: afp://Chris@192.168.1.1/Time%20Machine Mounted network destination at mountpoint: /Volumes/Time Machine-1 using URL: afp://Chris@192.168.1.1/Time%20Machine ..... Backup canceled. Ejected Time Machine disk image. Ejected Time Machine network volume.
I noticed that Time Machine-1 is mounted instead of Time Machine. Is this part of the problem.
How can I restore an individual photo or event from my Time Machine backup? When looking at my backup, I can see the picture file. When I try to open it, it calculates the size of the library. It does not open. Nothing happens when I select 'open in iphoto.'
Why don't hyperlinks show in Calendar meetings? These are generated from Company Google Calendar (Google Apps) and show up in Outlook. I would like to click on the webex link to attend a meeting.
