ICal default calendar for new event

When I sync a new iCal event from my PDA to iCal on my Powerbook, it defaults to a named, published calendar rather than "unfiled". Because of this, I immediately have to go through and change any new or changed events that have been sync'd to prevent them from being incorrectly published. I want to use the "unfiled" (and unpublished) calendar as my default calendar for new or changed events that I sync from my PDA, how do I do it?

If you are using iSync, press the Tungsten icon in its main window to drop down the configuration pane. Select the Unfiled calendar under the Calendar section as the Put events created on Palm into: option.
In the Missing Sync for Palm OS, double-click the Mark/Space Events conduit and select Put items from read-only calendars into: Unfiled. You have to create this calendar in iCal if it is not present already, before it can be selected in the Missing Sync.

  • Selecting Default Calendar for New Events

    Is there a way to select one of my iCal calendars to be the default when creating new events? I use one of my calendars every day using my iPhone at work for work events, and keep creating new events to the wrong calendar (which is currently set as my default)! It is very frustrating, as once the event is created, I can't change the associated calendar until I get home and can do it from my desktop.
    Thanks!!

    Tod,
    On your iPhone select: Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Default Calendar>Choose.

  • Setting a default calendar for new events

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded my Mobile Me account in respects to the Calendar.  Now on my Mac I get the option to show Me (On My Mac) & Me ([email protected]).  Currently I have both selected, but this gives me duplicate copies of certain events.  An error I assume from when it transf the calendars to the new Mobile Me Calendar.
    To save on any future duplications, I'd like to set a default Me calendar under which all events are created.  I cannot see how to do this on either my Mac or iPhone 4.  I've read various tips and suggestions, but none seem to work as I suspect they are for older generations iPhone or iPods.
    Can anyone offer any advise?
    Thanks, Gordon

    Gordon,
    Currently I have both selected, but this gives me duplicate copies of certain events.  An error I assume from when it transf the calendars to the new Mobile Me Calendar.
    What you are observing is not an error. The "On My Mac" calendars serve no useful purpose. Make sure that all of your events exist under the "MobileMe" source, archive your "On My Mac" calendars, and then delete them. That will eliminate the duplication that you are experiencing.
    I'd like to set a default Me calendar under which all events are created.  I cannot see how to do this on either my Mac or iPhone 4.
    The first calendar listed in the iCal Calendars source list will be the default calendar. Choose your iPhone default calendar in iPhone>Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>>Calendars>Default Calendar.

  • Can I choose the default calendar for new events?

    I have multiple calendars in iCal. When I create a new event on the iPod, it always defaults to the same calendar, but it's a less frequently used calendar so that's rarely the one I want. Is there a way to set the default calendar to my most frequently used calendar so I'm not having to change to a different one on a regular basis?

    On the iPod you can select the default calender: Settings>Mail..>Calenders (Scroll to bottom of the Mail... screen).

  • Set a Default Calendar for New Appointments in iCal?

    I never found a post with a sufficient answer to this question. However, it seems as though I may have stumbled on a resolution myself.
    iCal has it's own default calendars: Home and Work. I use MobileMe so the MoblieMe calendar is listed there as well. I also have an iPhone 4. I wanted all calendars to syncronize automatically when I create a new appointment on any of the 3 locations (laptop, cloud, or phone). I found that when create a new event in iCal on my macbook pro, it wouldn't update with mobileme or my phone. This was because when I double click to create a new event, iCal automatically puts the new event into my "Home" calendar, even though it was unchecked and not highlighted. As soon as I double click to create the new event, iCal's default kicks in and the Home calendar in the "On My Mac" section suddenly becomes checked and highlighted all by itself and the new event is automatically placed there, never to be updated with the cloud or on my phone.
    I think the problem may be related to something I read under "How Do I Set a Default Calendar for New Appointments in iCal?" There a solution given was that the uppermost calendar was being defaulted to and it was suggested to drag the desired calendar to the uppermost position. None of my calendars would drag anywhere. However, I find that if I uncheck Home and Work in the column on the left under "On My Mac" AND then click the arrow so those two calendars are hidden (very important), and then check and highlight the only showing calendar: MobileMe, that (so far) when I doulbe click to create a new event, a new event is created in the MobileMe calendar, and Home and/or Work under the "On My Mac" section never becomes checked or highlighted. So the new event is created only in the MobileMe calendar listed and updates on my laptop, in the cloud, and on my phone.
    So far that has been my experience; but, it has been only minutes since I tried that, so let's see what happens after a couple of weeks or so of normal use and see if the problem is actually resolved.

    I have been searching for this information for weeks now -- thank you!
    This works for Google Calendar as well as for Mobile Me. I'm going to type a little more information here to see if I can help this answer come up more quickly for other users when they keyword search as I was doing.
    This answer helped me reset and change the default calendar for iCal. I can now set my Google Calendar as the default calendar in iCal. When I create a new event in iCal, it syncs to Google Calendar as the default calendar without having to choose another calendar. All my iCal new events now go directly to Google Calendar and sync to my iPhone and iPad. I couldn't move the gmail google calendar to the top position, and just unchecking Home and Work didn't change where new events defaulted. Now my new events automatically go from iCal to google calendar, and I don't lose track of any events. I think you can set any calendar as the default iCal calendar for new events using this approach.

  • How Do I Set a Default Calendar for New Appointments in iCal?

    I have two calendars in iCal. How can I set one to be the default when I create new appointments?

    I have the same problem. I have an "Automator" calendar listed under "On My Mac" and my personal calendar listed under "Google Calendar"
    I want New Events to default to my personal calendar under "Google Calendars" but the "Automator" calendar is first in the list and I am not able to reorder them (tried drag and drop and renaming etc). And, since I have automator scripts running frequently the Automator calendar is usually the last calendar 'used.'
    I cannot find any way to set my personal calendar under "Google Calendars" to be the default for New Events....am I missing something here?

  • Default time for new event is always 15 min b4...

    I think Ical is great and i use it daily to help me with my biz to stay on top of calls i need to make.
    I am constantly adding new events and i always want my new events to open with a default time of "0" rather than "15 minutes before". It is very tedious to constantly have to change this every time I make a new event.
    I also would hope to do the same thing with the alarm default feature so that I can change the default setting from "none" to "open file" since I always set alarms on all my new events this way. I am sure other ppl have the same problem if this ical a lot and would love to know how to tweak this or fix this in an update.
    Apple if there is (or isn't) a way to fix this then plz tell me so instead of ignoring this post as I noticed a similar post someone else made has been ignored,
    TY
    ERIC

    Bump. I'd like to know this as well. I don't see a preference for this in com.apple.iCal.plist
    9AM every day would be perfect as a default

  • How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

    How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

    John,
    Thanks for that suggestion - could not get it to work. However, I did manage a different approach. I finally determined the sequence of events in terms of how the various events and listeners fire (I think).
    Basically, the CalendarActivityListener fires, followed by the listener associated with the Calendar object's Create facet, followed finally by the CalendarEventListener - the final is where the TriggerEvent is available and then finally, control is passed to the popup/dialog in the Create facet. So, my approach of trying to set/get the TriggerDate in the user's HTTP session was doomed to failure because it was being get before it had been set :(
    Anyway, I ended up adding a bit of code to the CalendarEvent listener - it grabs the current BindingContext, navigates through the DCBindingContainer to derive an Iterator for the ViewObject which drives the calendar and then grabs the currently active row. I then do a few tests to make sure we're working with a "new" row because I don't want to alter start & end dates associated with an existing calendar entry and then I define the Start and End dates to be the Trigger Date.
    Works just fine. Snippet from the listener follows
    BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();+
    *if ( bindingContext != null )    {*+
    DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer) bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();+
    DCIteratorBinding iterator = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("EventsView1Iterator");+
    Row currentRow = iterator.getCurrentRow();+
    if ( currentRow.getAttribute("StartDate") == null)+
    currentRow.setAttribute("StartDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
    if (currentRow.getAttribute("EndDate")==null)+
    currentRow.setAttribute("EndDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+

  • How to set a default start and/or end date for New Events based on trigger date.

    I'm using the CalendarActivityListener to get current row when clicking on an existing event. As per previous posts this listener gives you access to event detail including Start Date, End Date, etc.
    However, what I want to do is to default the start (and end) dates for New Events based on the trigger date.
    I've tried the CalendarListener and can grab the Trigger Date from it - however, I can't see a way to pass this directly to the popup/dialog I'm using to create the new event.
    At present I'm putting the TriggerDate into the ADFContext session scope e.g. ADFContext.getCurrent().getSessionScope().put("TriggerDate",calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());
    Then, I've tried multiple approaches to try and "get" the TriggerDate from session scope to drop it into my new Calendar Event basically, I'm trying to default the InputField(s) associated with the Start Date using the value from the session - I've tried
    1. setting the default value for the InputField in the jspx using a binding expression i.e. value="#{sessionScope.TriggerDate}" - this actually sets the value appropriately when the jspx is rendered but, when I go to create I get a NPE and I can't debug. I assumed that it might be a Date type issue - it would appear that CalendarListener provides a date of type java.util.Date and that the StartDate attribute of my VO/EO/table is a DATE and therefore requires oracle.jbo.domain.Date so I tried casting it - to no effect
    2. Using a Groovy expression *(StartDate==null?adf.context.sessionScope.TriggerDate:StartDate)* in my calendar's EventVO to default the Start Date to the same result
    Any thoughts or ideas?

  • Force Outlook 2011 to use iCal default calendar to synchronize with google

    Here is a problem.
    My default calendar program is Outlook 2011.
    I have an iCal synchronizing with my google calendar and outlook to sync with iCal via Sync Services - so in theory my outlook calendar should be synchronized with Google.
    I setup in iCal's preferences my google calendar as default (because iCal synchronizing only Google calendar not the other calendars on my mac) so at this stage, if I use iCal to add new remainder/appointment it is store by iCal in default calendar (which I setup to be my google calendar) and is synchronizing with goggle calendar right away.
    Synchronizing between iCal and google works fine, however there is a problem with outlook sync with iCal, because Outlook synchronizing all items in iCal with “no category” calendar (which seems to be default and although I have changed in preferences of iCal default calendar to be the google one). Even if I delete all “on my mac” calendars - outlook creates always new one called “no category”, when I try to add new appointment with Outlook.
    So there is question, how to force Outlook (or maybe syncservice) to use my google calendar in iCal as default. I think once it be possible, synchronizing between Outlook and my google calendar (via Sync Services and iCal) works great.
    Anyone knows how to manage it?
    My system:
    Outlook is 14.1.4 version
    MacOs X Lion 10.7.3
    iCal 5.0.2

  • How to setup a default direction for new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver?

    Hi,
    how to setup a default direction for new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver? I am an RTL interface user, I need my new divs to be inserted from right to left not Left to Right! could it be in dreamweaver?
    Thanks.

    This may get me into strife, but my experience is that you are better off finding another platform for your RWD.
    The framework that I tend to use is by Zub-Foundation http://foundation.zurb.com/.
    A commercial product that I have come to appreciate can be found here http://www.projectseven.com/products/tools/composer/index.htm. Please do not mention me if you happen to choose this product.

  • How to setup a default size for new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver?

    Hi,
    how to setup a default size for a new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver? I don't need the default size for new divs as a 100% width, I need them 13.69% as a one coulmn width only (7 coulmns fluid grids layout for desktop size 1000w).
    This problem I've faced when I intended to insert dozens of fluid grid divs in the layout.

    Sorry, I don't believe that you have had a good look at the Foundation framework. I'll now hold your hand while we go through the basics.
    Here is the specific page http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/grid.html
    The default values are
    Em-base : 16px
    Row width: 62.5em (62.5em x 16px = 1000px)
    Columns per row: 12
    These and other default values can be changed. The fact of the matter is that if you stipulate a section width of 2 or 3 or 12 columns, the widths will automatically be calculated for you.
    In your case, if you want 7 columns, all you need to do is change the number of columns per row and the rest is done for you.
