Can I change the Lion iCal Monthly View "New Event" from All Day?" Default?

I have tried all the posted suggestions to change the iCal "new event" preferably in Monthly View from the default of "All Day" but to no avail. This is a current issue so old terminal changes do not seem to work. Anyone have the same issue?

I also have an issue with not being able to change "end times". Four instance if I schedule an event at 9:00 AM iCal defaults to 10:00 AM. I'll click the end time to change it to 4:00 PM and the time will not change. It defaults back to the same start time or one hour later. I can get the drop down list to appear, but the options are not enough to schedule anything over 3 hours.
Nor can change the "add day" default.
I appreciate any advice/assistance you guys have.
Thanks!

Why is ical automatically setting new events as "all day" events in Lion

After upgrading to Lion, everytime I add a new event in the Month panel it automatically selects the "all day" checkbox. It didn't used to do this and it's kind of annoying....anybody else?

Gustlock,
Default event creation in Month view results in an all day event.
Lion iCal Help (Add events to a calendar) says: "Add a new event in Month view by double-clicking within the day you want the event to appear. Enter a name and time duration for the event in the event’s title field, and then press Return."
So, in your case try entering "Meeting at 9am"...that will create a one hour event named Meeting.
Lion iCal data detectors are supposed to make entry easier??

How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

I'm wondering the same thing.
Under Lion, my calendars' color coding is next to useless because they're suddenly so muted.
Previously I could easily pick out which events belonged to which calendar without effort. Now, all the colors are so light as to be nearly indisinguishable; I must toggle calendars off and on to highlight a calendar's events.

ICal month view some events shown only as ..., they show correctly in other views.

iCal month view some events shown only as ..., they show correctly in other views.

This is so utterly annoying- I never had this issue with previous versions of iCal, and I can't even run those versions on tiger now that I've upgraded. The tiger upgrade in general has disrupted my workflow much more than I thought it would-
Because of the way I use iCal, not seeing the full even title in month mode makes iCal pretty much useless to me. I don't want to have to click between dozens of events that begin with "Renders of" to find which set of renderings are due on which days. Nor do I want to go through and rename all of my "Renders of Levels 1a-3c" etc to make the titles more useful. It should just WORK.
Well, let me know if anyone finds a better way of making this work other than "resizing ad lib until things sorta show up"

All of a sudden I can't print my calendar in 'month' view. It only does day or list. Any thoughts.

Thank you so much... I put this in another thread too, but, through help I learned that it is the errors that's causing this. The problem is that I don't know enough to fix it. It happens in a nested table, (don't know CSS well enough either to use it instead) and I can't figure it out... its a full page table, 50% on each side, and a center cell that should contain a same-size nested table... as in, I want to put all the content in the center.
The error: "table" is not allowed within: "tr"
<body>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
    <td width="50%" valign="bottom"></td>
    <td width="980" align="center" valign="bottom"/><table width="980" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?

With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?
With Lion 10.7.1. you where able to drag events from "All Day Events" into the "Reminders" bar to create upcoming reminders.

Exactly the same question I was about to post!
Great being able to sync reminders (well overdue) however if I have to re-type a calener envent into reminders it's a waste of time!!
Come on Apple!!
Just need an option for the calender event to add to reminder or the old drag to add to reminder functionality back, Please???

How do I get iCal to stop defaulting new events to all day?

Just updated to Lion. Overall everything is working well. However, I can't stand some of the things the new iCal is doing.
By default it is defaulting new events to all-day (Rather than setting a time like it did before). Is there anyway to change this back?

This was discussed endlessly right after Lion came out.
Short answer: I don't think you can change this behavior in month view.
However: When you type an event, e.g., "Meet with TIm Cook for lunch, 1 pm", iCal is smart enough to set the time (at 1 pm in this example).

How can I change the order of photos within an event?

iPhoto o9 won't let me change the order of photos within a single event- really annoying! I tried to view photos then click manual sort- but when I look back at the event it is not in the right order. what's wrong? Or can I even do this?

Yes you can do that - IF you go through and assign titles to every photo
You also can change the date/time on photo and iPhoto will then sort them in the new order
And you could assign unique key words to each photo such that the sort order is what you want and sort by key word
But you can not change the order in the sense most people mean - grab a photo and move it to a new location in an event
So yes you are right

Can you change the theme color in iMovie for example from its current color of blue to red?

Can you change the color of a theme in iMovie ?- example: the sports theme is set to be blue and I would like it red.

No. And that would be nice in your type of example.
I would recommend that you could TRY to use the "Map, Background & Animatics" earth icon> (next to transitions tool tab), scroll down> add RED background, and ADD Transitions inside some. That might help your example out.
Hope this helps. Cheers

Whatever drive you choose to replace with, you need a magnetic 00 micro philips screwdriver to open the case and a container for each of the screws to place in their own sections in order so you return the right screws to each hole. (also a green or dark mat to catch and see any fallen tiny screws)

Before you do surgery, you use the free Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your entire boot drive (doesn't do Bootcamp) to a blank, HFS+ journaled formatted drive (equal or larger than the boot drive)
http://www.bombich.com/
Hold option and boot from the clone, check it out and Disk Utility > repair permissions on both drives. Disconnect.
Do your drive surgery.
Hold option and boot from the clone, use Disk Utility to Erase with Zero the new drive, format HFS+ and then use CCC to reverse clone. Repair permissions on both again.
Reboot and your Mac should be just like it was, only with a larger hard drive.
Piece of cake.

Can I change the store's language? (it takes from credit card country)

Hi All
I'm living in the Netherlands with a Dutch credit card but want to use the iTunes store in English.
The store seems to set the language for your account based on your country of residence and clearly this needs to be right if you use a credit card (so it's authorised correctly). And it's worse - Apps for my iPad will be in Dutch!
My question is - can you change the language used in your account and the store?
I'm going to guess it's a No to this question so suspect I have to do something like setup a new account with a fictitious English address. So my next question is - if I use PayPal or enter my credit card details for each transaction, will this give the same problem?
Thanks in advance to any response!

If you wish to run iTunes in a language that is not the default for the country that you are living in (and therefore paying from), the iTunes helpdesk point to this article. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2242 . This article indicates that the iTunes store should pick up the language you have assigned to your MAC, however this is incorrect. iTunes picks up the language from the country you designate you are paying from.
You can change the country by using the flag button at the extreme bottom of the iTunes home page, however this will allow you to find the things you want, but you must change it back to actually purchase the content.
If you think, as I do, that this is a fault with their system, the ONLY option you have is to complain to their helpdesk, email address [email protected] If you ask to have the e-mail referred to Ashley, maybe the sheer weight of complaints will get this sorted.

Can I change the way iCal displays events in Month view?

I don't like the way iCal in the new OS displays events in Month view. It's counter intuitive to have the time of the event be at the far right and grayed out. I find myself staring and slowly scanning down the display just to find out when I have to be at an appointment. I wish they had stayed with the other display, not only was it much clearer, it also word wrapped so you could see the entire description. I have blank space at the bottom of the day, and at the same time missing information because of the lack of wrapped text.

Hi Daniel,
The option you have there is to change the calendar of the event (currently the "University" calendar in your screen shot) not the colour. It is the calendars that have colours in iCal not the events.
To change the calendar colour in OSX 10.7:
Click Calendars (in the top-left corner of the iCal window), and select the calendar by clicking its name in the Calendars pop-up list.
Choose Edit > Get Info.
Choose a new colour from the pop-up menu in the top-right corner of the Info window.
To customize the colour, choose Other, and then make your colour selections in the Colours window.
I hope that helps.
Best wishes

How can I change the Save as PDF view?

Whenever I save a website page on Safari, or an e-mail or a document as a PDF file, I click File, Print and then PDF when the print page comes up. I then click Save as PDF which brings up what appears to be a Finder window. The problem is all my files and folders in each column are there alphabetically with files and folders mixed together. I have a lot of folders and files and I have to scroll all the way to the bottom sometimes to find the folder I want. How can I change this view so all the folders are at the top alphabetically with the files below? The normal Finder window comes up with each column having the folders at the top with PDF documents together below and regular documents together below that. Any help would be appreciated.

Jeff, thanks for the reply, but I am not talking about Finder. I already have Finder set up with Kind. I am talking about when I want to save a page on Safari, or an e-mail or a document as a PDF file, I click File, Print and then PDF when the print page comes up. I then click Save as PDF which brings up what looks like a Finder window. In that window all my files and folders in each column are there alphabetically with files and folders mixed together. I don't see any where where I can can change that view like you can in Finder. As I say, Finder is set up correctly, it is only when I try to save something as a PDF that the "Finder" window has all files and folders alphabetically and not by kind.

Can you change the iTunes selected Artist View art?

When you're choosing an artist in the Artist View tab, iTunes preselected an album cover to display next to that band/artist's name. Is there a way to change this? It seems, in my case anyways, iTunes picked the photo to display based on the alphabetical order of that artist's albums. For example - Under "Aerosmith," the album cover that displays for the band is based on the 1973 "Aerosmith" album art, because it starts with "A." Would like to know if I somehow can change which album shows. I'd rather it list it by year, perhaps. This is how albums are listed once you pick an artist in my list....
Hopefully this makes sense. have included a photo of the part I wish to change however, in case not! Thanks!

i am having the same problem, iTunes 11 just assume all the Artwork i had selected on the older iTunes 10, but now if you want to change it it is over
i got even an insolite case, i bought a new version (Japan) of a Diamond Head CD, i deleted the older version in iTunes and ripped the new one to the library. The Artist Artwork was the one from this CD and now i got a BLANK artwork
how i can change it? or define a new one?
i guess that was one more new Apple bug on this re-vamp iTunes

How can I change the source file so it is direct from external hard drive?

I am trying to make a movie on imovie of a snowboarding trip that I went on, there is around 80 to 100 gig of mp4 movies that will not fit on my computer that I have stored on my external harddrive. I had the movie half finished then found I could do no more as I had no space left in my mac. I had to delete everything and start again but I'm not doing this until I can find a way of changing the source file so I can take them direct from my external hard drive as to not use up all my computers available space. I have moved imovie to my external hard drive but it still tries to read from a movie file on my mac, how can I change that so it will read from a source file on my external hard drive, is it possible?? Can someone help me??

Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.
