OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: How To Change ICal Default Event Time To All-Day

May 18, 2012

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."

OS X Yosemite :: ICal Is Not Showing Event Time In Month View

Dec 9, 2014

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.

Applications :: Can't Edit Event In ICal After Leopard?

Dec 7, 2007

Any idea what might be going on? I try to double click a new event. No luck. I try to right click and "get info". No luck. I go to the main bar up top and click on edit, then edit event and nothing. Weird as heck. I did a search in this sub forum, but got no results.

OS X Mavericks :: How To Stop ICal From Deleting Time Information From Event Titles

Aug 24, 2014

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.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Change Default Email Program?

Mar 15, 2012

Like I presume everyone else, Mail is our default email program.

However I have recently been using Postbox and I rather like it, so I have sidelined Mail.

Problems arise when I schedule reminders and invitations from iCal - it immediately wants to start up the Mail program and not Postbox.

At the moment I am running the two email programs alongside each other which really isn't practical.

Applications :: Unable To Change ICal Icon - Reverted To Default

Mar 10, 2007

I use change my icons, at least the dock ones to make them look uniform. I usually manually change them, (copy, ctrl+i, paste) but for ical I had a problem. I did the normal routine and it did work. It changed the icon to what I wanted, until I opened the program. Then it changed it back to the default icon. So I used Candybar to do the samething, and the same thing happened. I did this for about 20 icons or so, and they all changed, except for ical. Well it did change initally but when I opened it, it reverted.

OS X :: Won't Work With Ical / Snow Leopard Deleted ICal Appointments

Sep 2, 2009

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.

OS X :: Snow Leopard Change Time Machine Interval?

Oct 10, 2010

Has anyone figured out how to change the time machine backup interval in SNOW LEOPARD?

i don't want a third party app or anything, i just want to go in terminal or textedit and set a new interval.

for any of you who are going to tell me to modify the com.apple.backupd-auto.plist file. i cant find one, and i believe this is unique to 10.6. there is a regular backupd.plist file, a -wake.plist, and -attach.plist, but none of them list the "start interval" key that i saw.

I am running Lion OSX 10.7.3, and iCal version 5.0.2. When I try to create a new event in any day of the calendar, I get the message: You can't add or change events in the Birthdays calendar.

MacBook Pro :: How To Trigger Automated Event In ICal

Mar 30, 2012

I'm trying to fix an issue I had for a while with a automator script I want to use. I added several things it should do, test it, and it works fine. I use it usually as an workflow. But I tried to implement it through an iCal event! Which does not work. (and I checked already in preferences if the turn off all iCal alarms is unchecked) I the workflow basically to open when I first fire up the MacBook, but only once, not when I start it up again later n the day. So I thought about adding the workflow to the startup, but that would open it every time I start my MacBook. How can I get around that? By a iCal event? If yes, how can I fix it, that it starts not at a specific time (I don't start my computer at the same time every day) but when I first open it.

Applications :: Iphone Cal Event Uploaded To Ical - Now I Cant Delete?

Sep 4, 2008

I created an everyday reoccurring event in my iphone for one of my summer classes. I unfortunately forget to add which day it ends. Then it was uploaded to ical and then to my google calendar via nemusync on the iphone.

I dont know how it worked out but now I have an event on both my ical and iphone that I cant simply "delete future events". Now I have to delete every single one for 80 something months or something like that.

The question I have is how do I remove a single recurring event. I have tried deleting the very first occurance of the event and it didnt work. I have tried deleting it from the iphone and ical. Nothing works other than deleting each one, one by one.

When Create An Event Directly On ICal / It Does Not Show On ICloud

Feb 13, 2012

I have an IPad2..I run a Windows under XP for work..My Exchange account at work is synchronised with Mail, iCal and Contacts...So i receive Mail without any problems, and my work calendar appears on my iCal. It works fine both mays.The problem is when I create an event directly on iCal, it does not show on iCloud, as when I create it on iCloud, it shows on iCal without any problem.And even tough it appears on iCal, when created by iCloud, it does not show on my work PC (I understand that it does not come directly from iCal so it's normal, I think, that it does not show at work).The exact same thing happens with contacts.So despite the fact that everything is under IOS 5 or Lion, and everything is selected regarding iCloud, absolutly nothing shows on iCloud, except my own adress in Contacts.

ICloud :: Why Is ICal Sending Event Notifications Via Email

Mar 15, 2012

My wife and I subscribe to each other's ical calendars via iCloud and it's been working fine since first set up months ago. Suddenly today, she got a ton of emails after I updated and added a bunch of events in my calendar. This hasn't happened before today. Neither of us changed anything and I know I made similar updates in my calendar earlier in the week that didn't generate emails to her.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Remove An ICal Event Without Sending Updates?

May 1, 2012

I use my Mac at work (as well as at home). I have 2 calendars- 'Work' is connected to my Exchange account. 'Home' is synced through iCloud. For some inexplicable reason, when I get a repeating meeting invite from a customer (who is using Google calendar in their company) to my work Exchange mail account the invite goes a bit nuts. Basically the invite goes into my 'Home' calendar and sets me as the meeting organiser! So... now I have a meeting invite, that I cannot remove, in the wrong calendar.If I remove it it threatens to send out meeting cancellations to all (20!) of the attendees! Needless to say I will not be in a good place if that happens! So my challenge to you all- how on earth do I hack this meeting invite out of my iCloud calendar? From searching around there seems to have been an application, called iCalpone, that could do this, but it is no longer available.
