Change default alert time in Calendar

Is there a way to change the default alert time in Calendar to something different than 9:00 AM? I realize I can do it directly in the calendar entry itself, but I want the default to be a different time and not have to correct it every time I create an entry.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Michael, starting with Mavericks, the Preferences in Calendar do not allow you to change the default time from 9:00 AM to any other time. The only way to modify the alert time is on an entry-by-entry basis using "Custom...". I want the default time to be something other than 9:00 AM so I don't have to change it in every entry.

Any was to alter or customize the default alert times in Calendar and/or Reminders?

I's like to create my own "defaults" in Calendar and Reminders. Any method of doing that? I thought it was possible...

I appreciate your response, but I've already gone through that routine several times. I actually had to do it TWICE today alone. It gets really old. I want Bing blocked completely. I'm tired of it changing my default search, especially without my permission.

How to set default alert time?

Whenever I set up a new calendar item on iCal and want to set an alarm one or more days before the event, the alarm defaults to 11:45PM. I would like to change this default time to something like 9:00 am. I've checked preferences but don't see any way to do that.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David

Go iCal Preferences/General and click the default alert tick box at the bottom. You can then adjust the amount of minutes before the event for the alarm. NB. ticking the tickbox means you get an alarm for every entry.

Google CalDAV and Default Alert Time

I was successfully able to set up one of my Google calendars on my iPhone 3G running 3.0 using CalDAV, but I notice that regardless of what the alert setting is on Google, the iPhone defaults to a 10 minutes before alert setting. I gathered that alert settings aren't properly supported by CalDAV sync, but wondered if there was any way to set the iPhone to default to "no alert" in these instances? I use the calendars a lot, and the alerts are going off constantly.
Thanks!

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!

ICal events automatically changed my alert time.

The events I have scheduled in iCal started alerting me today. I looked in my calendar and found that all of my events had an alert scheduled for "at time of event." I never had my events alerts turned on. I checked back several months and forward several months, and the were all on, in addition to that, I found that when I changed the alert to "none," it didn't prompt me to change all future events. So, I would have to go through and change every event. Not going to happen. Any body else have this issue? Any fixes?

This is most likely due to the clocks changing at the end of the month. Events before the clocks change will be ok, events after will be one hour out
This is just a limtation in the way iSync & Sony Ericsson phones handle the clocks changing.
When the clocks do change just adjust the daylight savings setting in the phone and re-sync. All future events will be correct until the next clocks change in 6 months.

How can I change default build time from 1 sec to .5 sec?

Whenever I create a build, the default time is 1 sec. I'd like it to be .5 sec. I use a blank master slide. How can I change the default build time for all slides? Or can I?

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

Changing default refresh time for the UWL.

Hello,
I am trying to change the Default refresh time for the UWL(workflow inbox) for all the users before they personalize or save the refresh time, Would changing the refresh time in the .xml file work or is there any other way to do it? Thanks,
Aniketh R.

We have had all sorts of issues with this as well. I have been unable to find a solution that works as of yet. From my own debugging it seems as if RP is trying to parse the pasted text as logo's, fields etc.... I am looking at potentially using a script w/ set interval to "clean" the clipboard data but this isn't a perfect solution for numerous reasons.
What is happening to your letters when the users paste? Our letters actually become unusable after a plugin save. So I am actually very interested in the answer to this question!

How change default alert in Calendar?

Hello
Because the default sound "Basso" isn't the best alert sound for me I want to change the default sound of Calendar items in Mountain Lion.
I was able to do this in the past, with Lion, but unfortunately this isn't possible anymore I see...
Changing the com.apple.iCal.plist file doesn't help, since this plist file doesn't exist anymore.
And despite what I saw on several websites (see http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/80_os_x_mountain_lion_tips_and_tricks#slid e-3), I can't change this in Calendar neither (see image here below)
I checked the settings in notification centre, where I can choose to have sound alerts for calendar, or not, but cannot adapt the default sound.
Can you please help?

Hi,
here is a solution that is working for me in 10.9.5 (thanks to Wakko from http://iszene.com/thread-165772-post-1927711.html#pid1927711)
(Make TimeMachine backup)
Quit calendars
Go to ~/Library/Calendars. Here, for each calendar there is a folder with its UUID (i. e. 9C36543C-8BA1-4264-8E3F-C1BB9FB207BE.calendar). To find out what calendar it is referring to open info.plist within it. Chose the calendar's folder you want to change the alarm sound for. It should also be containging the folder /LocalDefaultAlarms with the two files EventAllDayAlarms.icsalarm and EventTimedAlarms.icsalarm. If it does not open calendars and create a test event in that calendar. Go to 2.
Open EventAllDayAlarms.icsalarm and EventTimedAlarms.icsalarm. Find the line ATTACH;VALUE=URI:basso and change basso to the sound you like. I had to place the sound file in /System/Library/Sounds.
(By the way: If you want to change the default hour for alerts for all day events, change TRIGGER:-PT15H accordingly. PT stands for pacific time, -PT15H means 9 AM (15 hours before beginning of the day).)
Reboot
EventAllDayAlarms.icsalarm and EventTimedAlarms.icsalarm are re-created and reset to basso each time calendar prefs are saved. So, in order to prevent overwriting your manual settings accidentally, set them to read only.
Good luck!
Florian

Limited options in Calendar/Preferences/Alerts.

Changing default alert from None to 5 minutes before

Hello all,
Is there any way to have all my new Calendar events have the Alert option default to alert 5 minutes before?
Thank you so much for your time.

I've never found a way to do this either, and find it very annoying. The suggestion given in this forum does not work (for events created from the iPhone's calendar); that setting seems to be limited to the iCal on the computer itself. If you find (or have found) a solution, please post it. Thanks.

OIM11gR2: Changing Default Date format in calendar input

Hi Experts,
There are certain OOB fields in OIM like "Hire Date", "Provisioning date" that accept input from calendar control.
I could see the default input format is like MM/DD/YY (eg: 12/13/12) when i click on calendar icon and select any date range
But i want the functionality like if i select a date from calendar it should get populated as "MMM dd, yyyy" eg (Dec 13, 2012) in text box.
Please help me out!!
thanks in advance.

Apologies... when I read the question through the first time I didn't work out that you were using the query window inside the Deverloper Tools for Visual Studio .NET. The OracleGlobalization object would be used in .NET code.
I don't know a way to override the date format in the query window other than doing a to_char() on the date in the query.
Something like:
select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from dualSorry about that,
Mark

How to Change Default Transition Time?

In FCE, how do I change the default 1 sec period of a transition, Cross Dissolve for example?
Also, can I apply a transition to a series of clips in the Timeline rather than individually for each clip using the Canvas.
I'm trying to improve my efficiency as I make a slide show of many still pics with transitions.

In FCE the only workaround is to alter the transition in the Viewer and drag the altered transition back into the Browser>Favourites Bin.
When you edit using this transition in the future it will assign at the altered value each time it's used.
Think of it as auto assigned transition that has to used manually each time.
