Change "new event" default name in FinalCut x

This Question is regading Final Cut Pro x (version 231027) or any of the X versions.
Hello, this might be a minor issue but still annoying. Regading create "new event": Here in Scandinavia for ex. we seldom use the "month-day-year" set up to describe the dates, would it possible to change that behaviour to ex. "year-month-day" or any other custom tag with dates? It´s not much to ask for..
Best regads, Tobias.

Hey imagoproduktion
Change it in System Preferences in Language & Text in the Region tab; from there it should trickle down to the apps to give the right format for you.

Cannot change "New Event" to an event name in iCal

For several days whenever I enter a new event in iCal I can put in all the information (times, etc.), but it will not allow me to change "New Event" that appears at the top to the name of the event. So I have several events now called "New Event," and I have to actually indicate the name of the event in the "note" section. This is very problematic, because the "note" section doesn't show up until I click on the event. Has anyone else had this problem and/or know of a solution? This is my first time to ask a question, so I hope I did it right.

Before we conclude that iCal is broken (which requires an OS reinstall to resolve) lets test in a new user account to see if iCal works there:
1.) Create a new user account on the Mac: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
2.) Go to Apple > Log Out
3.) Login to the new user and test iCal
If the same issue occurs in the new user then iCal should indeed be reinstalled:
1.) Backup your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
2.) Reinstall your OS: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8177.html
If the new user works then we know iCal is fine, its the data in your user:
Troubleshooting:
1.) Backup all your data:
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
Backup your calendars on MobileMe.
Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4226
Go to "backing up data" and then "Backing up from me.com/calendar"
2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
3.) Test iCal

New event - default times

In month view when I double click on a day to create a new event the timings default to 2300 until 0000. I can't find any way to change these timings - can anyone help?

Hi Paul, I have the same (or similar) problem.
If I doubleclick to create an event in month view, depending on the current time of day, iCal will automatically create a time within the current 12-hour time period. If I then try to change the time with that annoying bubble (what ever happened to the beautiful sidebar), it will only allow changes within that current period. I.e. an event created at 10:00 can not be changed to 14:00. Entering "14" would result in the time being set to "04" in the morning. If I wait until after noon, then the times can be changed for the time period from noon to midnight only. This is really annoying. As a workaround, I can open the created event in day view and drag the event to the desired time. But this is not what I expect from Apple as useability.
Anyone has similar experiences to Paul and me?

New Event Default: 12AM

Hello! I was wondering if there was a way to change the default start time for a new event? For some reason it seems only recent my default time has been 12AM. I wasn't sure if this had to do with MobileMe, but I checked and there is not an obvious option there either. I have the "Start" of my day set to 8am, I would think if I were to schedule something it would default to that.

juliefit,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The default start time is not user selectable, but it should not be 12AM. Default start time should be the next hour closest to the current time, i.e. if the current time is between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM the default time should be 3:00 PM.
If your system is not working that way you may want to try refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.
You may also want to check System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>and Set/Reset your "Region:"

New event default settings

this has to be an easy one ---
why does a new calendar event start on the :15 of the hour? this always happens when i create an event on the calendar....any way to change that? if not, i'd love to hear the rationale behind that decision!
M

Greetings,
How are you creating the event? By double clicking or dragging? If you're dragging you might just be off a bit on where you're starting. If you're double clicking you could be just below the line for the hour, which will then go to the next quarter hour.

Can't change new song settings/names/anything

I've recently put some new songs into itunes from different CDs. As opposed to the other songs I have on there, I can't change anything about the songs - the names, artists, can't change the volume settings (which is the biggest hassle).
what's going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This hapened to me once.
What I did was burn the song onto another CD and then import the cd into Itunes.
It fixed the problem.

How do I change: when I double click on a day to add a new event it defaults to All Day and Busy

iCal 5.0.2 (1571) Is there any way to change this? I can't do it in preferences.
This is a real pain. To make an event for a specific time I have to double click again, uncheck "All Day" and then put in the time for the start of the event. Even then, if I put in the start time, the end time remains at 6:30 PM, so I have to change that too.
If I really do want an All Day event, why does it sometimes default to Busy, rather than always to Free?
The old iCal was far superior in this regard; double click once on a day and the add an event dialogue box appears, defaulting to a time close to when you were making the event, and, if my memory serves correct observing the preference I set with respect to default length of the event.
I'm aware that Command N gets me a new Quick Event, its a bit better in that if the event i enter opens the big "add an event dialogue box", it has defaulted to an hour long event. But, if I click on a day, and then hit Command N, the new event is put in Today, and not the day I had selected. It also defaults to All Day, unless I put in a time for the event in the Quick Event box. Why would I do that when I know I want to enter info into a number of fields, and doing so is easiest from the big dialogue box. If i don't enter a time in Quick Event, or enter a day, I still have to double click the event that was created by Quick Event to open the big dialogue box, and start fresh entering everything. So, I find Quick Event's implimentation cumbersome, overall ending up with more keystrokes and clicks to enter the details I normally enter, than the old iCal.
So, if someone knows how to change the double click behaviour back to the old way, or how to get Quick Event to open the dialogue box on the day i have already selected, any help will be appreciated.
Also, is there some way to get this feedback to Apple? Support SiteMap doesn't show a link for feedback.
Thanks
Ian

I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
Command N
I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

How can you change the default setting for the alarm for new events?

When I create a new Event, it will create an alarm that will activate 15 minutes before the event. I'd like to change the settings so the default setting would be that when I create a new event it will activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this? Thanks.

Greetings, David.
alarm...activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this?
Sure.
_Go to iCal > Preferences > General >"Add a default alarm to all new events and invitations"
_Change the current value from 15 minutes to whatever minute value you like (1440 for 24 hours).
_Of course this will only affect NEW events. Not those already created.
_Close the window and your done.
Hope that helps.

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!

Event name changes back to 'new event'

When I put in an event and hit enter or apply, quite often the name doesn't stay but reverts to 'New Event'. Any ideas how to stop this. I thought it was a bug that everyone would have and that an update would fix it, but I've had it for a long time now. It started sometime after installing Lion and/or the update after that.

Give us a bit more info.. I am guessing you are using Mavericks on the computer.. but if not exactly what OS?
And please what does Airport + TC actually mean.. and how are they configured and connected???
The TC is highly unlikely to change the name of the hard disk drive. Auto spontaneously.. that would be extremely unusual.
But for Mavericks to get it fouled up is not hard to fathom at all. It is a hopeless OS with the TC network drive.
Can you please change the drive name back to what you want.. but ensure the TC has no spaces or special characters in its name or the name of the drive. And max of 20 characters.
Then in Finder mount the disk manually.. use top menu, Go, Connect to Server.. and type
AFP://TCname or IPaddress (where you replace with the actual name or ip).
The computer should find the resources and require you to register the password.. keep it in your keychain so it is not forgotten.
Then delete the current TM setup and redo it.
See A4 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Any backup over wireless is slow..
Any backup over double hop wireless ie extend wireless from AE to TC.. you will discover a new meaning to the word "SLOW".. pain and suffering like the belly of Sarlacc awaits you.. do not do it.. never double hop wireless for backups. Connect units by ethernet so there is max one wireless link.
Good luck.

Change default name when adding new e-mail account

When I try to add a new e-mail account in MacMail, the populated default name for the user is incorrect. I have to change it to my name and was wondering where this is coming from and how to remove it.

Did this ever get answered somewhere? I would like to change mine also.

In new event window how do I change the auto settings?

As an example of this question, each new event window always has "all day event" checked, how do I change this to be automatically unchecked?

catknox,
Are you using Lion iCal? If so, iCal now uses data detectors for event creation. The "Month" view automatically creates an all day event unless you enter a specific time.
Here are some event creation rules from the iCal Help Center:
Click Add at the top of the iCal window or press Command (⌘)-N.Events are added automatically to your default calendar.
If you want to choose a different calendar for the event, hold down the Add button (+), and then choose a calendar.
To change your default calendar, choose iCal > Preferences, click General, and then select a calendar from the Default Calendar pop-up menu.
Enter a name, date, and time duration for the event, and then press Return.For example, you can enter “Super Bowl Party Feb 6,” “Movie with Rebecca on Friday at 7pm,” “Soccer Game on Saturday from 11am-1pm,” or “Breakfast with Jon,” and then press Return.
If you don’t enter a time duration for the event, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour.
If you don’t enter any time information for the event, iCal makes the event an all-day event.
If you enter “breakfast” or “morning,” iCal sets the event to start at 9 a.m.
If you enter “lunch “ or “noon,” iCal sets the event to start at 12 p.m.
If you enter “dinner” or “night,” iCal sets the event to start at 8 p.m.
To set any other event options (for example, to set your event to repeat, add an alert, or invite others to the event), make your changes in the event’s editor, and then click Done.
