How to change ical to mm/dd/yyyy

Hi - My iCal seems stuck in dd/mm/yyyy and I prefer to use mm/dd/yyyy
How would I go about changing this? I ran into a problem when I tried to add an event from a date in my apple mail... It added it to Nov 9, 2010 instead of Sept 11, 2010 !!!
Please advise thank you!

Thanks that worked for now! Gave me some message about not being compatible with 'older versions' (of what I don't know) and that it will revert to the most compatible version when necessary.
Thanks!

    Does anyone know how I can change the UI in Lion's version of iCal to eliminate that cheesy, faux leather, "binder" effect?

    Hi dogspace.
    Not that I'm aware of, I think you should post it here to get specific ical answers:

  • How to Change Ical organiser (send) details

    Currently when I send Ical events - it shows the organiser as my previous business name. i.e. Brett from >company name< has sent you an invitation... I need to change that comany name? How to?

    I think you will find (but back up your calendars first in case I am wrong) that that warning does not cause an immediate deletion. So, tick the box, OK the warning and then you can change the number.
    As for direct editing the preference file, if you have installed Developer Tools (from your installation disk) you have Property List Editor.

    To format these dates to dd/mm/yyyy just add a new language en-GB.
    1. Decompress the file "C:\Oracle\BPMStudio1032\webapps\workspace\WEB-INF\lib\fuego.resources_en_6.5.0.jar" somewhere.
    2. Edit the file: plugin.xml and add GB in country:
    <locale availableOnIDE="true" className="fuego.resources.EmptyLocaleSupport" language="en" country="GB" variant=""/>
    3. Edit the file Manifest.MF and enter your locale

  • How to change iCal alarm defaults

    I have one frequent event that requires an alarm when I put it on iCal.  However there is no consistency to when that event occurs so each must be entered manually.  This event can occur up to 6 times a month.  When I set the alarm each time, the default is 11:45 the night before.  I would rather have the default be same day at 8 am.  Is there a way to change the default so I don't have to change each alarm event manually?

    If it takes a while to input new information, it might be quicker to duplicate the event and change the due date & time. I don't think you can specify a time in the default, just minutes prior to.

  • How to change default alerts in iCal?

    Hello.
    Every time you add a new event in iCal, the Info panel of the event contains a series of default alerts that you may want to add to it. However, all of them are useless to me (e.g.: "Send email to <my address> 4 days after), so I need to manually edit them event by event. Anybody knows how to change them? I have already inspected all the plist files related to ical, and looked inside the ical package content, but I found no indication of where to change these values. Using iCal version 5.0.2
    Thanks,
    l

    John: Thank you, this is exactly what I wanted. I was indeed inspecting the plist with bbedit, but what I did not realize is that the file has some parts which are binary, so I could not see the PersistentMenu-lastUsedAlarms part by using a text editor. I opened it with Xcode and I did find what you were saying, and erased all the junk that was in there. In fact, the issue I had was also described here:
    http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Uk/uk.comp.sys.mac/2010-06/msg02349.html
    For some reason, it looks like after some upgrade the program adds were some positive values in the plist and I was stuck with default alarms that were set *after* the events I wanted to set an alarm for.
    I did what you suggested, then added by hand new values to the PersistentMenu part of the plist, and I am now happy.
    For everybody's information, to know what I did, it is enough to know to add Dictionary items to the  PersistentMenu-lastUsedAlarms, with 3 fields:
    -- AlarmTypeKey (this determines if you want a sound, or else an email, or else the other default alarm type keys. For example, sending an email is a Number, value 4; having a message with sound is a Number, value 3)
    -- AlarmDurationKey: This is a Number, in seconds, that determines when you want your alarm to trigger. E.g: -172800 will be two days before. Must be negative for "before", of course)
    -- AlarmParameterKey: This is a String, where you store the value that you want the alarm to have. For example, if you want an email to be sent, the AlarmTypeKey will be 4, as explained above, and this field will contain your email address. Instead, if you want the alarm to be a sound, the AlarmTypeKey will be 3 and this field will have the name of the sound you want (e.g., Basso).
    That's it. Thanks a lot for the solution!

  • How to change the default view of published iCal's URL

    I am publishing an iCal for a nonprofit group and link to the calendar from the group's website. The default URL given (in the send publish email option) leads to the week view of the current week. I would prefer the link to take site visitors to the month view of the calendar. If I go to the month view and copy the URL for it, and use that for the link, I have to change the URL each month, because the URL that comes from the month view will only show the month it was at the time I copied the URL -- it will not change with the new month. Does anyone have any idea of how I can change the URL so that it leads to the month view of whatever the current month is?
    I should note that I know how to change the default view in the my browser, but I would rather not have to explain how to do this to all the people viewing the calendar -- just wanting the correct month view to show up when they click the link, without having to change it each month.
    I would be so grateful if anyone has some insight on this!
    Thanks.

    Carlo,
    The fact that this question has been left unanswered for over 2 months seems a little negligent on the part of Apple Support.
    This Forum is unfortunately not Apple Support. According to Apple:
    What is Apple Discussions and how can it help me? 
"Apple Discussions is a user-to-user support forum where experts and other Apple product users get together to discuss Apple products. You'll find a wealth of information about your favorite Apple hardware and software products that will help you get the most out of your purchase. You can participate in discussions about various products and topics, find solutions to help you resolve issues, ask questions, get tips and advice, and more.
    If you have a technical question about an Apple product, be sure to check out Apple's support resources first by consulting the application Help menu on your computer and visiting our Support site to view articles and more on our product support pages."
    In direct response to your questions, I would say that (as observed by the OP) anyone who subscribes to a published calendar can make a change to their desired view using the "Preferences" icon which is displayed underneath the mini-month calendars.
    There is no way that I know of to directly or conveniently change the time-range. There may be workarounds, but I could not find a suitable solution for you.
    I would recommend that you provide iCal Feedback, if you are interested in informing Apple of your desires.

  • How to change fonts in iCal?

    How to change fonts in iCal?  I can't harly read my calendar-tiny print size.  How could I change the font size?

    Your question really got me thinking.   Actually, I don't think you should feel like an idiot at all.  I think it is Apples failure that they made this difficult.  Seriously, who would ever think to press Command and arrow to switch months?  The little arrows next to the word Today are so small and inconspicuous that I remember having this very same question when I started using iCal too. 
    So, here is what I did to make it easier for my wife that uses iCal too. 
    Open System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts Tab, and finally Application Shortcuts.
    Click on the Plus symbol under the right hand pane.
    Select iCal from the Application list
    Add two shortcuts:  One named Next and the other named Previous and press your desired Keyboard Shortcut.
    I assigned the left arrow and right arrow for these tasks.
    Now it makes more sence for someone that is not used to Apples idotic way of doing things. ;-)
    I use keyboard shortcuts all over the place.  Actually, sometimes it gets me into trouble when I use someone elses computer and my shortcuts don't work.  I blame their computer for it and forget it was my "tuning".

    I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
    On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
    I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
    I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?
