DEFAULT alarm settings?

I see that there is an option to have iCal default to a single alarm for New Events.
Is there a way to control the pulldown for the second event? These are all screwy when I do the pulldown for a second or third alarm:
play sound 'basso' one minute before
play sound 'tink' one minute before
play sound 'submarine' 15 minutes before etc
Thanks.

Ok, I figured it out. It apparently DOES store the last 5 alarm settings, it just doesn't display them. You know, because that makes sense. So just click Alarm and set it to anything, then click Alarm AGAIN to edit the alarm, and the list should show up. It's an extra step, but its better than having to input all the info every time.

  • Anyone noticed that with new upgrade, alarm settings are useless?

    Before the 07 upgrade, I had several different alarm settings.  For work, I have one that goes off at 6 am M-F.  I turn it to ON Sunday night, and then OFF Friday night.  Monday through Friday mornings, all I had to do was  Stop the alarm for the day,  and the alarm itself would still be set to go off Tuesday through Friday mornings. 
    Now, with the new upgrade, the alarm settings are useless.  When my alarm goes off in the a.m.  I have to now actually go to that alarm page and slide the settings for the week to OFF.  That means that I now have to physically turn the alarm ON and OFF every day.  Not a tragedy, but this is not an intended "feature" of the new 07, I am sure.   I have reduced different alarms down to 2; Weekend 8 am; and Weekdays 6 am;  and have to retrain my brain that I now have to remember to turn my alarm on every night before I go to bed. 

    Did you try tapping on the refresh button at the bottom of the contacts app - on the main page on the left side - the page that shows the list of all of your groups?... like Exchange, iCloud, whatever contacts sources that you have in the contacts app.
    I use Exchange for my contacts and that is what I chose in the Settings>Mail>Contacts>Default Account>Exchange and I chose Exchange contacts in the mail settings as well.

  • Default alarm on ical?

    How can I set the default alarm setting for an event in iCal to none?

    no you can't delete the 'native' apps (the ones that come with the ipod). some of them you can turn off in restrictions, (under settings, general) - the others you have to learn to ignore, i move mine to the last page so at least they're out of the way.

  • Any way to override default printer settings into a PDF

    Hi -- I work for a large organization that has lots of computers and printers and prints a lot of forms and documents.  We are moving towards more digitization of documents and records including printing forms as needed as opposed to having large sets of forms onhand.  This should save us a lot of time and money once complete as these forms often change and the old process would be to then trash much of these documents and re-print for just one change.  The majority of our printers do have letter & legal trays as well as duplex support, however due to the vast number of users the default printer settings tied to each user and/or computer may be slightly different.  While standardizing all the printer settings across all users/computers would be one solution, we don't anticipate doing this as depending on the job peformed the different settings may be more preferable / advantageous for that user.
    As such the other solution I can think of is to hardcode the specific printer settings needed to correctly print a large document into that PDF file which may differ from that computer's print settings.  For example, the default computer print settings may be to print on just 1 side but duplex would be encoded / scripted directly into the PDF so IRREGARDLESS of the computer/printer settings this document would always print duplexed.
    Is there anyway to do this?  I would need to do more than just duplexing -- ie some form sets would need to be both duplexed and 'fit to printable area' whereas some would need to be only on one page and 'shrunk to printable area', etc, etc.  Our current practice is to insert a 1 page coversheet at the front of each document with the printer settings that need to be used for that form set, however this has been difficult for some users to do and has caused unnecessary time with our IT troubleshooting form printing.

    Hi Brandon,
    You can use the Print Presets in Acrobat for that purpose. Please follow the steps below:
    1. Open the PDF in Acrobat
    2. Open Document Properties dialog (using Ctrl + D)
    3. Select the "Advanced" tab
    4. In the "Print dialog Presets" section, you can choose DuplexMode as well as Page Scaling for this document.
    Please let us know if this works for you
    Thanks,

  • How do you set/change the default alarm TYPE in iCal?

    I like to think I'm a power user, but this one I just can't figure out.  The question/problem is: How do you sent the default alarm TYPE in iCal?  The problem is illustrated in the picture below in the blue circled area.
    Specifically, whenever I set a new event in iCal, it defaults to this window with the default alert being "Default (1 hour before)."  The one hour before is fine, but the problem is, WHAT is the default?  It seems to be just a sound, but that's not good enough to actually alert me of anything.
    The goal I'm trying to achieve with this post is to determine how to CHANGE the "default" new event alert FROM "Default (1 hour before)" TO one of two alerts that I actually find useful:  I want MY "default" new event alert to be either "email" to the primary address, OR, "Message with Sound". 
    Any ideas, folks?  Thanks.

    Understand.  I am in the edit mode for my contact.  I see all the contact info.  There is no right click or other means to change the DEFAULT address that autofill uses (it also is first to appear if I type my name in an e-mail). For instance for a group e-mail you can change the default addresses of each contact by control-clicking on the group in Address Book. I can't seem to make the default change in my v-card.

  • Can you set the default alarm to be an email alert?

    Just curious. I noticed that in the preference window, it allows you to set a default alarm that always starts as a sound.
    Any plug-ins that will do this?
    Thanks a bunch.

    Try this add-on so you can schedule the sending of multiple emails:

  • Default alarm for all-day events

    When I set up iCal, I used a default alarm at 11 pm for ALL-DAY events.  I don't stay up that late anymore, and now I have to manually reset the alarm to a more sane time every time I enter an all-day event.  How do I change the default to earlier?  Note: This is not the same default as for regular timed events ... that one I can change in Preferences.

    Well, I couldn't figure this one out, so I just moved the calendars back to my main machine, and published them to the web for sharing with my laptop. On my main machine they worked fine.
    Can't figure out why it wouldn't work on the server. Maybe it'll change with Leopard's iCal server.

  • Possible to change default alarm from "Message with Sound" to "Email"?

    I was wondering if there is a way to change the default alarm when creating an event in iCal, from "Message with sound" to "Email". The option is not available in preferences, and I was just hoping that there might be a way to change the default, using Terminal, and if not, perhaps there is another way. If anyone knows of a way to accomplish this, I’d sure appreciate it.
    Thanks very much for your help.

    Your not alone - I'm also looking for a solution to this problem.

  • How can I remove default alarm for events in iCal on devices ios?

    Whenever I add an event to my iCal calendar in Mounain Lion it will automatically add one default alert only on my iphone and ipad. These default alarms are not displayed on my macbook or icloud.com
    Default alarms are disabled in macbook, icloud.com, and my ios devices.
    How can I remove default alarm for events in iCal on devices ios?
    Thanks and sorry for my english.
    MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.8

    OK, so I have had this issue for the past several months. I think it all started when I upgraded to ML from SL and migrated my calendars and contacts to iCloud. That was a couple months ago. But now I am running 10.8.2, and about two weeks ago I upgraded my iOS devices to 6.0.1.
    I don't seem to be having any issues with events that I create now, but all those old events that were migrated to iCloud a couple months ago, many of those sound alerts on the iOS devices even though there was no alert defined when the event was originally created. I have always had alerts off by default both in iCal and on the iOS devices.
    So here's the question: is there a way to go through and disable all these spurious event alerts? I've been disabling them as the event reminders come up, but it's irritating. It would be nice if there was a way to turn them off all in one shot somehow.

  • Default printer settings for HP Deskjet 882c

    All I want to do is set this printer to print in black and white by default. If I wanted color, I would use my other printer ... I want faster than a snails pace so I brought this one back out.
    Being a PC for my entire life, this should be an easy thing to set the default print settings on the printer. I don't see them!
    What I am printing is emails off hotmail ... tons of them ... going back months ... so please don't ask me to add an additional step here ...
    Pulling my hair out here ... help would be lovely!

    You are on the right track for sure. The claim code is in fact printed in blue, so if your color inks are low or empty it will not show up. 
    I noticed there are 2 version of the 6500A, I will go under the assumption that you do not have the 'Plus' version since you didn't specify this, shouldn't be a big discrepancy either way (let me know if I am wrong).
    Viewing your ink levels is covered here, your Cyan ink cartridge could be empty : http://goo.gl/RjIhbp
    You can still find the claim code on the front panel of your printer without color ink. Go back to web services on your printers display and it will show your "*@hpeprint.com" email address. The prefix before the "@" is in fact your code.
    Also note that your code has most likely expired, which happens after 24 hours of being generated. Not a big deal. If your code has expired you will have to reset the web services in your printer, this will generate a new printer code. You can do this easily from the front panel of your printer.
    Follow this link and expand the section “What if I lose my printer code before registering?” under “Frequently asked questions (FAQs)”
    http://goo.gl/0WUyIe
    (*a note on step 4, some firmware updates may have simplified this entire step to be simply “remove web services”)
    After enabling the web services again the printer code area will still be blank if you are out of cyan ink. 
    Regardless the new code will display on the front panel (under web services).
    I hope this gets you going with ePrint. Let me know if you are having issues printing in color beyond this, or if you are still experiencing difficulties with ePrint.

  • Changing Lion PDF default security settings

    After I create a document in Word or Pages, I save them as a pdf.  I then want to digitally sign them in Adobe Reader.  But the default security settting when saving as a pdf does not allow adding a digital signature.  Anyway to change the default OSX settings so that digital signatures are allowed by default?
    Preview just ignores digital signatures so I have not found any work arounds there.
    ...Bruce...

    I'm OK with how to remove the security settings from a document:  Documents > Properties (security tab; "No Security").
    What I'm looking for is the path to removing the security settings such that they are NOT applied when I convert a document to PDF. What is happening now is that when I convert a MS Word doc to PDF, the security settings are applied by default, which means I have to go the process, albeit a short one, of removing the security settings from the document - as referenced above.
    So again, if I simply launch Acorbat Pro 9 (without opening of a document), what is the correct path to removing (permenently) the security settings so that they are no longer applied to a converted document by default?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to configure default parental settings for all users (10.7)?

    Hello,
    I've made a silent installation of iTunes using MSI files and it works well.
    I need to enable parental controls and configure it. Users must be preventing of changing these settings.
    At the end of the iTunes installation I automatically created registry keys :
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls]
    "AdminFlags"=dword:001b7ac5
    "AdminMoviesLimit"=dword:000000c8
    "AdminTVShowsLimit"=dword:000001f4
    "AdminRatingSystemID"=dword:0000000b
    "AdminGamesLimit"=dword:0000012c
    According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2102 it is the procedure to set default parental settings for all users and to lock these settings.
    When iTunes is first launched, parental settings are not set nor locked.
    I use iTunes 64 bits on Windows 7 64 bits.
    Where is the mistake?
    Thanks in advance.
