Ben -

Thanks. By "satellite tracker" I think you mean a GPS time inserter to a video camera? Most people track that way but I wanted to use Mac products.

?The method Roger mentions is what I do. I have several calendars, each a different color and purpose. This way I can see all the events together, color coded, or view or hide any calendar with a click of a check box. Been doing it this way for years and find it very useful.?

I have two calendars under my iCloud account … Work and Private

Work is a light blue and Private is a pale red . And even though two is not a lot, but even so it can be rather cluttered. There are so mange Work related entries, that I am seeking a way to be able to mark the entries in some way - preferaby with a color. Like bright red for “important", green for “maybe" and yellow for "only if time permits”.

A friend of mine uses Google Calendar and he can color each entry individually. I assumed I could do the same, but I can’t find a way to do it in Apple Calendar (and I am NOT switching to Google).?

Is it possible to do, what I want? Are there “extensions" to Apple Calendar that would let me do it? Other workarounds??

Create 3 new calendars

Work Important

Work Maybe

Work Only if time permits

Give them each a different colour, and then you can turn off one or more of them to more easily see the one you’re interested in.

Time to get new laptop. At Bestbye today, I liked the 16” 1 tb model. This could be my last computer but I don’t have a lot of time to research. The costs may be considerably higher in a month or two according to the salesman.
I had to leave my current 2017 laptop with Geek squad for 3days to check for malware after being almost scammed today.

Any opinions on the 16 inch one I am considering. My geek squad cost and warranty will be available as long as I buy new equipment there.

Thanks!

Ok this is NOT a Mac specific question, is there a group that I should go to?

I used to use a marvelous app on my iPhone by Emerald Sequoia LLC - "Clock". It gave very accurate time to the tenths of a second. I used it in tracking satellites. But then I got a new iPhone and when I was loading my apps saw that they had shut down and the app was no longer available!! Wah!!

?

Is there a good app that gives very accurate time to better than the second?

?

Thank you!

Try Comcast?BUSINESS?B2B.

It's an entirely separate division, and they are top-tier on every metric.

Thanx for the tip. My concern, though, is what to expect when I try to contact them with a problem. Over the past few weeks I’ve had experiences that were akin to sticking a finger in a live electric socket. Communicating with that back-and-forth automated system is frustrating & trying to speak with a live person is close to impossible. Wouldn’t the same problems occur when trying to get help?

Kurt,

Perhaps I was not clear.

Comcast BUSINESS B2B has top-tier business support and will never abandon you until they have exceeded your expectations on all levels, including most importantly support.

Cheers,

John?

Switched to Comcast B2B as a?business?customer, and never looked back. They deliver.

I’m in a similar position - I have Spectrum business and the very rare occasions I have problems (I think 5-6 calls in the last 10+ years) I always get right through to the Business help line, and get priority on scheduling the calls.

I’m paying about $110 per month including a fixed IP number.

That is only for internet - they keep trying to sell me phone and television, they’ve never convinced hard enough yet (T-Mobile cell phone service and Dish satellite TV we’ve had coming up on 23 years now.
