Change the default event duration from 1 hour to 1/2 hour

In iCal, the default event is supposed to last for 1 hour. I want to change the default to 30 minutes. I know I can make the change event by event (which is cumbersome). I cannot find any configuration page to set the default event duration. Is there one?
(This seeming reality has been bothering me for years; but I'm considering migrating from Entourage to iCal/Address Book/Mail and some of what I feel are inefficiencies in iCal are blocking me from doing so.)

Typically any such defaults are configured outside of Logic via a utility that came with your Audio Interface.
Example: if you have a Motu Audio interface you use the Motu Audio Setup Utility to set the default Stereo inputs and outputs... which are then used by Logic via Coreaudio.
Not knowing what Audio Interface you are using (or mixer..) I would suggest you read the documentation that came with it.. and see how to configure it to what you need.
Note: Some cheap and/or badly supported interfaces/mixers simply don't provide a utility to enable/change default settings... in which case you are stuck with what they set as the defaults themselves.

Changing the Default Event Time Length?

Hello,
Is there anyway to change the default event length from 1hr? Nearly everything I schedule is 30min long and it's a pain to always have to change that.

npatelaz,
I don't think that it is possible, even using Terminal. If you want to change your workflow, "all day" events can easily be created in the Day/Week view, but as you stated the Month view poses a problem.
Calendar Help says:
To make:
An event that lasts all day:
In Day or Week view, double-click in the “All-day” section at the top of the calendar.
An existing event last all day:
In Day, Week, or Month view, double-click the event, click the date, then select “All-day.”
A multiday event:
In Week view, drag from the start time to the end time. You can drag across multiple days.In Day or Month view, create an event. Then, enter the start and end dates and times.
An all-day event into a multiday event:
In Week view, drag the all-day event across multiple days.

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

Anubha,
It worked! Thank you so much.
I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
program...', it worked like a charm.
Again, thank you!

In PC I have changed the default app location from default to other and copied the previous content to new location and changed the Default location in preference. Now in iTunes, my previous apps are not visible. Is there any solution to this?

HT2506 How do I change the default image editor from Preview to Graphic Converter?

How do I change the default image editor from Preview to Graphic Converter?

I'm assuming you want the default programme to change from Preview to Graphic Converter so that clicking on the file would open Graphic Converter instead of Preview.
Control click on the file type that you want to open using Graphic Converter. Press Command+I for Get Info. Click on the triangle next to Open With. Select Graphic Converter and Press Change All...

Performance impact after changing the awr snapshot timing from 1 hour to 15 minuts.

want to know performance impact after changing the AWR snapshot timing from 1 hour to 15 minutes.

Hi,
1) typically performance impact is negligible
2) we have no way of knowing whether or system fits into the definition of "typical"
3) the best way would be to do that on a test system and measure the impact
4) I would be concerned more about SYSAUX growth than performance impact -- you need to make sure that you won't run out of space because of x4 more frequent snapshots
Best regards,
Nikolay

How can I change the default templates to from A4 to Letter US?

Hi,
I live in Québec, the french part of Canada. Because I use French, iWork think I leave in France, so the default templates are in A4.
How can I change the default templates to from A4 to Letter US? It seem's impossible. In Pages 06, each language folder had templates. But with Pages 08, it's different.
Please help.

Autre façon : Ouvre un nouveau document. Il va être en A4. Dans le menu Fichier--->Format d'impression. Une fenêtre apparaît. Dans la ligne... Taille du papier, tu choisis... Lettre US; tu fais OK. Ensuite tu sauves ce document comme modèle. Menu Fichier----> Enregistrer comme modèle et tu lui donnes le nom, par exemple... USLettre.
Ensuite, va dans le menu Pages, va dans préférences et dans la fenêtre qui s'ouvre - Préférences générales - tu choisis : Utiliser le modèle... et tu cliques sur Choisir... à droite un peu en bas de Utiliser le.... et là, dans la fenêtre qui va apparaître, tu trouves le modèle que tu viens de faire...USLettre.
Voilà. Chaque fois que tu vas ouvrir Pages, ce sera USLettre qui sera là par défaut.
J'espère que ça va te satisfaire.
Évidemment l'idéal serait de pouvoir changer la template Vierge par une template Vierge US... mais j'ai pas encore réussi.

Changing the default event time to all-day in Month View?

I updated to Mavericks today, and when I went to add an event to my Calendar, I discovered that all-day was not the default time. In Mountain Lion, when going to add an event in Month View, it was automatically set to all-day, which is perfect because all of my events are all-day events. Now, it's being set to 9:00 to 10:00, and I have to check the box to make it all-day. I know that this isn't much work, but when I'm adding dozens of events it starts to get a little annoying.
Calendar 7.0, OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do I change the default address book from the Personal Address Book?

Whenever I click on an email address from within an email and ask to add it to my address book, the contact is added to Personal Address Book. How do I change that so that new addresses will be added to another book?

I do not know of a way to change the default but after you click the star beside the address to add it to the address book, click the star a second time to open the edit dialog box. There is a drop down list of your address books to make the change there.
