How can I make iCal in Lion open to the current date?

I just updated from Snow Leopard to Lion and have had all of the frustrations with changes to iCal that are well-documented here and elsewhere.  One issue I haven't seen addressed, however, is a new behavior after quitting and re-starting.
Previously, no matter what month/day/week I was viewing when I quit iCal, it would open the next time to the current (month/day/week).  Now, it opens to whatever date(s) I was last viewing when I quit.
This is highly annoying - 99% of the time, if I quit iCal while looking at (some date 6 months into the future), that is NOT the date I'm looking for when I re-launch.  It's much more consistent behavior to always re-open to the current date, in whatever view (month/day/week) I previously used.  So if today I launch iCal and I'm thinking about adding an event a month in the future, I open iCal, change to month view if needed, and go forward one month.  This is the way iCal always worked previously.  Instead, the version in Lion might leave me on any random month, depending on what I was doing when I closed the program the last time, and so I have to figure out "what month/week am I looking at?" before I know how to navigate.  Very irritating.  (As is the move of the forward/back buttons away from the month/day/week buttons, necessitating that I move the cursor to two different areas of the screen in order to navigate.  Whose idea was THAT?)
I haven't found a preference to resolve this bizarre behavior change.  Can anyone help?

Hi,
I don't know of a preference, but have you used ⌘-T in iCal?

  • How can I make safari (in lion) open to my homepage instead of what was open when I quit?

    Just updated to Lion. Safari now opens to the page I was on last time I quit. This *feature* is incredibly annoying. If I wanted to have to navigate to my homepage every time I opened my browser, it wouldn't be my homepage. Is there anyway to turn this off? I can't find one.

  • How can I make multiple PDF links open in the same second tab, instead of a 3rd, 4th etc.

    I am working on a project for my Universities 125 year anniversary.  Essentially I've created a 125 year long digital yearbook, with a link to the University's actual digital yearbook for each individual year.  I'm wondering if there is a way that I can make all of the yearbook links open in the same second page.
    IE:  Main Project open in a window,  when I click the 1939 Yearbook pdf hyperlink, the 1939pdf will open in the second window.  I then want to find a way so that after this, on the main page, I can click the 1940 yearbook pdf link and have the 1940 yearbook load on the second window, replacing the 1939pdf, instead of just opening the 1940pdf on a third new tab/window?
    Note: I have all of the yearbook PDF's online and downloaded, so I can make the hyperlink send you to the site, or do a download style thing. 
    Thank for any help, and if anyone needs further information just ask me!

  • How can I make a Twitter link open in the app instead of the web?

    Hello,
    when I click on a Twitter link in an email, it opens the web browser instead of the app.
    Is there a way to change this?

    You can go to settings in your Gmail, select your account, and scroll down to the bottom where you can check the box for Download attachments.  This isn't directly saving the file to the phone, but it is allowing it to download temporarily so that you can view it.  If you are referencing the stock email app, I'm not sure as I don't use that app any longer.

  • How can I make iCal open to today?

    In moving from Mavericks to Yosemite, iCal has stopped always opening to today's date.  Instead it opens to whatever day (week, month, etc.) I was last working on in the calendar, which means it's easy to make mistakes like deleting a recurring appointment from the wrong week (intending to delete this week's meeting and instead deleting one in a subsequent week because that's what the program opened to).
    How can I restore the behavior it had in Mavericks, where it always opens to the current date?

    Still looking for an answer to this question.  It's very frustrating.  Google hasn't helped.

  • How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

    Select (highlight) the file in Finder and then use the Finder File menu Get Info (or Command I) and in the Open With section of the Get Info choose the application you want to open the file. Another method is to right-click the file in Finder.

  • When I right click on a link "Open link in new tab" since a few days, it "jumps over" the tab to the right and opens in the tab next to that. How can I change this back to opening in the tab next to the page from which I opened as it used to be?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    kikzilla,
    Make sure that your computer is not connected to the internet. Then open iCal and choose iCal>Preferences...>Accounts> click on the gmail account and delete the account using the {-} "Remove an account" icon on the bottom left of the Accounts window.

  • How can I make signature darker when I print the report?

    I need to put my manager's signature on the report. The signature is too light, How can I make it darker when I print the report?
    I used file link and OLE, both did't make it.
    Thanks.

    No way to do it directly in the report. You need to work with signature image file using any graphic software to increase its contrast. The easiest probably would be to use Paintbrush and change the image to black-and-white, then save back as jpeg file.
