Changing default "From / To" Event time from 12:00AM???

I've giving up trying to find out how to change the default From / To time for an event to something more reasonable than 12:00am. Does anyone know how to do this, so that when you create an new event, it is created with a time other than the default, without having to go in and override it each time an event is created? Thanks.

durrace,
First, refresh the the com.apple.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.
Then before restarting iCal, open System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/reset the appropriate region.

Change standard view: remove event time

In iCal, a lot of visual space is wasted listing the time of an event. Fortunately, the time is unlisted in some cases (e.g., a half hour event in 'week' view), but for 1 hour events or more, the view of the event description is occluded by the start time. This time listing is redundant and unnecessary, since it is also indicated and easily visible to the left of the day columns in 'week' view, for example. Is there a way to remove the time? Any suggested workarounds so that we can see more of our event descriptions at a quick glance?
thanks in advance.

this is true, but i'm most interested in turning off times in 'week view', since times are already listed via the grid on which events lie. it sounds like a second radio button in Preferences>General should be added, called "Show/Hide event times in week view".
apple, are you listening?

How to change default vertical page co-ordinates from center, to top?

Hi There,
We're having trouble understanding why InDesign centers the page instead of aligning the view to the top when switching pages (and copying and pasting) - and how to change this behavior.
To understand what I'm talking about, do the following:
Create a new document (any size)
Use the page tool to to change the height
Create a new page and use the page tool to make the height a lot taller
Now switch between the pages
Notice how InDesign always shows you the center of the page?
This is frustrating in many situations like copying and pasting - try the following:
Create a box on the first page and align it to 20mm from the top and 20mm from the left
Copy the box
Switch to the second page
Paste using CMD + OPT + SHFT + P
The object should be pasted in the same spot (20mm from the top and 20mm from the left) but it isn't - on the vertical, it's pasted relative to the center of the page for some reason.
It surprising how annoying this becomes when you're constantly re-positioning pasted items or when switching between web layouts of different heights - it becomes a two step process instead of one.
Does anyone know how to change this behavior?
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated - we're using CS5.5
Cheers
Ben

Thanks for the replies - sorry I didn't reply earlier but they went to junk.
Why in the same spot if pages have different size?
In general, sure - but what about letting the user define a point of reference? For me, it's always the top left corner like the rulers - I completely understand if that doesn't work for others but it would save me so much wasted time constantly repositioning objects.
Also, in a lot of documents with different page-sizes, setting the reference to top left (or whatever you set your rulers to) actually works a lot of the time - granted, probably only for those that use the numbers to position objects.
Anyway, what I'd like to do is find out how to set a document-wide reference point for co-ordinates - obviously you can't do this right?
Another thing that wastes time (in a similar vein) is the ability to set defaults for translation, rotation and flipping etc.
Almost without fail, I find I want top left when moving (because I set rulers to top left) but center for rotation and flipping. Being able to set a default per translation type would save a lot of pointing and clicking.
Is this possible?

Changing default save/open to location from any application.

I can't seem to find the location where i can set my files to save to opened location rather then always defaulting to my documents folder. This will apply to files being opened as well. For example when I work in an application and need to import 2o items i do not want to have to start from my documents every time it should default to the last location. If anyone can please help I am having a brain freeze on this one. thanks

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
Please, for the love of all things, will someone please tell Apple to add this feature, I am so incredibly tired of having to go through seven clicks to get back to the same folder that I just saved to.

Possible to change default downloader speed displaying rate from KBps to Mbps?

I'm pretty tired of doing the calculations from KBps to Mbps (speeds advertised for internet connections). No one deals in KB for most stuff downloaded on the net. More in the order of MB. However, it would be easier to see how well its performing in Mbps. That way i can see how close to maximum it's running for a connection (wireless 3G, ADSL / DSL etc)
Is there somewhere in firefox i can change that output thats displayed in the download window from KBps to Mbps?
help greatly appreciated.

any ideas?

TS3999 iPhone calendar syncing wrong event times from my icloud

I'll enter events on my iCloud calendar then when I go to check them out on my iPhone its like a day behind.
e.g. 'Monday need to pay my phone bill' it will show up on my iphone on the Tuesday instead, so a day late.
What am I doing wrong?

Jess,
Did you use the TS3999 link above your post topic?
If not, give it a try and then post further questions.

Change default scheduled defrag start times on Server 2012

I think it's great that by default Server 2012 is going to defrag all my drives on a weekly basis. But how can I access the scheduling portion? Is it possible to change start times, or give a window that it can start in? I have some drives
where the data on them is only not used during certain hours, so it would make the most sense to have it start the defrag during that window.

Hi,

How To Restore From A Specific Time From Ovi Sync?

Reall need help here, I lost all my contacts & worst part of it - OVI Syncs my EMPTY contact book & when restored, well you know what happens...AAARRRGGHHH!!! Is there a way I can restore back my contacts at a specific time? Ovi sync my empty contact book at 1555.

Can the new 27 inch iMac restore EVERYTHING to how it was from the original 27 inch imac? Would all my photos from iPhoto be restored? My music/movies from itunes?
Yes.
An application called Setup Assistant will appear on the new iMac at startup to ask if you if want to setup the iMac from a Time Machine backup. The "new" iMac will look just like the "old" iMac when you do this.

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.

How do you update it? Basically what has happened my password was disabled for "security reasons" on sunday (21/10/12), so i tried to reset it, but for some reason i couldnt get into my old email (probably because i havent used it for 2 years), so i read on here i could swap it to a new email that i currently use (which is what i have done) ive swapped everythin over to it (facetime, iCloud etc) but keeps coming up with old email and asking for password

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.

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:

Changing Appointment STOP Time From One Hour to Half-Hour.

On my desktop and on my Centro, appointment "stop" times always default to one hour from the "start" time. I would like to change this so the default is to a half-hour interval. However, I cannot find a setting for this, either on my desktop or on the mobile device.
I'm changing the "stop" time manually for each entry, which is inconvenient. Is there any way to make it automatic?

Have you tried this procedure to enter an end time?
Using the keyboard, enter a starting hour and minute for the event. (For example,
enter 545 for 5:45.)Select the End Time box, and then select the ending hour and minute for the event.

Change default events stop time

Any hack?
thanks and excuse my english.

Hi, It's interesting that you say recordings from Freeview should be as you say. Does this mean that my Vision box's time is out? Where does it take it's time sync from I wonder. As the box is connected to The Internet, it could sync from a time server the same as a PC does. I'm not having problems with programmes overrunning and that clashing with a scheduled start recording time, I can see that would cause a problem. It's the fact that recordings are starting 2 minutes early. I have watched this happen a number of times because when you are watching, you have a message on screen asking you what to do, stop recording the current programme, or not record the one that is starting. If you happen to be looking at the Vision box when that happens, usually by stopping the current recording, you can get away with that, as most programmes are over well before the actual end time. Then the new recording will start. But if you're not looking at the Vision box, it makes it's own decision, which is usually not to record the starting programme. Although I don't record any of the Multicast channels, if I did, the the fact that they start 2 minutes early would cause a problem. Why do they start early? It just causes unnecessary annoyance. Thanks for replying though.

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.

Hmmm Strange!!!
Seems like a bug which requires target for parallel effect while hide only but does not set it.
For the time being you can remove the sequence effect as there is no othe effect other than parallel and use effect like
         <mx:Parallel id="fadeOutTw">
            <mx:Fade alphaFrom="1.0" alphaTo="0.0" duration="1000"/>
            <mx:WipeUp duration="1000" />
        </mx:Parallel>
or you can also set target explicitly like :
<mx:Sequence id="fadeOutTW" >
        <mx:Parallel target="{largeImgTW}">
            <mx:Fade alphaFrom="1.0" alphaTo="0.0" duration="1000"/>
            <mx:WipeUp duration="1000" />
        </mx:Parallel>
    </mx:Sequence>
I have tested on this code, and works fine. Hope this helps you
