Default Calendar App Settings

Is there a way I can set my calendar app to choose my gmail account automatically (as a default setting) when I enter a new calendar item, so I don't have to choose the gmail calendar from the drop down menu every time I make a new event/item on the calendar? Thanks.

Hello isltd82!
Thanks for the post! Unless Gmail is the only calendar you have, you will need to pick the calendar you would like to add he event to. Keep in mind you can add events into Gmail through your PC as well. This may be helpful if you have multiple events to put in.
Thanks again!

How do I change the default calendar app used by my system?

I am using BusyCal as my calendar application in Mavericks and using Postbox as my email application. They just work better for me than the default mail app and calendar on the Mac. One problem I am having, however, is when I get an email with a date in it, which I want to add to my calendar, it automatically opens up my system Calendar app, not BusyCal, to add the item. Is there a way to change it so that my BusyCal app acts as my default app in these and other situations like this?

Try going into settings > General > international > region format > new zealand.
Hope that works.

Use Lightning as default calendar app in Windows 8.1

I've just got a new laptop running Windows 8.1 and I'm still trying to get to grips with it. You can set Default Apps for things like Internet, Email and Calendar (PC Settings > Search and Apps > Defaults). I use Thunderbird with Lightning as my main calendar (synced with my google calendar) and would like to make this the Windows default (presumably so that Windows can create/read events directly etc.). However, when I try to choose a default calendar, it says 'There is no installed app for this type of file or protocol'. Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do?
Details: Dell XPS 12
Windows 8.1 (up to date with Windows updates)
Thunderbird 24.6.0
Lightning 2.6.6
Provider for Google Calender 0.25

Hi,
Now, you should do it directly in the J2EE applications DD application.xml by specifying "/" for the <context-root> element. In weblogic workshop this can be done by modifying the web apps properties.

How to set iCal as the default calendar app again?

So, reluctantly I bought and installed MS Office 2008 for Mac because OpenOffice was not a solution...
However, now Entourage seems to be set as the standard application to handle ics files, although I clicked yes when iCal asked me if I wanted iCal as my standard calendar app.
Nevertheless, whenever I receive an ics file in Mail (generated by Thunderbird Lightning extension) and I click on the ics file Entourage opens instead of iCal, as it used to be.
Any hints on how to tell Mail or OS X or whoever's responsible, to handle ics files with iCal?
BTW, I already tried downloading the ics file, Open With and selected iCal and "always open with" or however it is called in the English version.

Actually, I don't want to use any third-party app here. This should be possible with built-in OS functionality...
Maybe I have to reboot? But I hoped I'd let that behind together with windows

Default new app settings

It seems, since I upgraded XCode to v. 3.2.6, that every app I create wants to compile for the iPad and run in the iPad simulator. When I change the project settings, they seem to go back to iPad on a pretty regular basis. Where can I set this to default to iPhone?

Are you talking about build setting or the Xcode platform menu for testing/building?
Individual project settings for build configurations don't reset....

No Option to Change Default Calendar

I've been struggling with this and can't find an answer anywhere. On both my iPhone (3GS running iOS 5) and my iPad (first gen running iOS 5), there is no option for me to change the default calendar in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar. The only options under the Calendars heading on both devices are New Invitation Alerts, Sync, Time Zone Support, and Default Alert Times. How can I get the Default Calendar option to appear?
Thanks for any help!

For what it's worth, I figured it out.
In addition to my iCloud calendars, I subscribed to CalDAV calendars from my office (from Snow Leopard Server). For some reason, you can't set or change a default calendar unless you turn off the CalDAV calendars. At that point, the option to set a default calendar magically appears. I set the default I wanted, then turned the CalDAV calendars back on, at which time the option disappeared again, but fortunately left my selected calendar as the default.
Hope this helps someone!

Calendar app never shows red badges

I like the default calendar app but would like it to show red badges when there are events that I haven't looked at to check. I have seen others get these so why dont I?
Are there any other calendar apps that show the red badge?
Mike

Howdy Mike,
It sounds like you want a red notification badge to appear on the Calendar app which is in the dock on your Mac. You can enable this feature from System Preferences, as described in the article linked below.
OS X Mavericks: Change Notification Center preferences
Badge app icon
Let the app show the number of notifications on its Dock icon.
Cheers,

I have downloaded a calendar app but can't add events. I have gone to settings but can't locate default calendar as suggested, turned the iPad off etc as suggested.

I have downloaded a calendar app but can't add events. I have been to settings but can't locate default calendar as suggested, have also turned the app off and on as suggested.

Calendar information missing, no I cloud backup, settings claims email calendar is still on, option not available in calendar app

So this morning when I went to check my calendar for my schedule it was completely blank. I went to "calendars" at the bottom of the application & it obly had the "birthday" calendar to select, the other three were gone. I checked another way by going into settings and then email, and it claimed that the calendars were selected & up and running, but they are not available to check in the calendar app. I also do not use iCloud because I do not have the space for everything or even my calendar because my family has 8 different apple products so the free iCloud data was sucked up extremely fast. What can I do to fix this?! I'm kind of freaking out because the calendars app is pretty much my only way of knowing what time I need to be where & it's all gone!
Last night before I went to bed it was all there. I went on Facebook, candy crush, & the internet for an hour and a half & then preceded to go to sleep. I woke up this morning with my calendar missing.
Someone please help?

Xfce's default app settings keep getting changed.

My xfce default app settings are constantly being changed to KDE apps.

Raccoon1400 wrote:How can I change settings so kde cant get to it but xfce can?
Well ... that you can't do I guess. The dirty solution I proposed effectively blocks anything/anyone from changing it easily.
Like I said look in the KDE configuration panel for anything related with default apps and if it is possible to leave them alone. Not much more I can say, I use xfce only.
Another option is to backup that file (if indeed that is that file that controls the default apps) and when you start xfce you copy the backup over that file, when you logout from xfce make a backup. This way kde can mess it all it likes and you will still have your default xfce apps and an easy way to change it in xfce.

Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Settings crashes; Contacts app is blank

First issue - since upgrading my iPad2 to iOS5, the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Settings crashes. All other options in Settings are fine - only issues is with Mail, Contacts and Calenders crashing.
Second issue - I am using iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks. Everything (except Contacts) sync perfectly between my Mac (home), Win7 PC Outlook (work) and iCloud, but I am unable to see the contact data on the iPad. When I open the Contacts app I get the 2 page layout but it is blank with no data, no buttons, no groups and no formatting. After sitting at this blank view for a few seconds it crashes to the Home screen. I know the contact data is in the iPad as contacts can be found through Message, Mail and through the iPad Search. It has not however synced with any changed data.
I have performed a hard reset numerous times, and restored the iPad. I have manually closed the Contacts and Settings apps through the task bar. I have also attempted to manually sync the contact data via USB with my Mac, but Contacts are still out of sync and crashes on launch.
Any advice or solutions appreciated.

Hi UTNick
Seems like there is a few dramas with syncing through iCloud at the moement - hopefully Apple get this sorted with an update ASAP. Im using Outlook 2010 and didnt have any worries at that end, all the unsynced data and crashing was on the iPad. Good lesson in all this, make sure backups are in place - thanksfully I didnt lose any data either.
I managed to fix my sync problems and crashing Settings. Not sure what the specific solution was but it involved -
Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
Reset iPad to factory and then restore from back-up
Turned off iCloud
Reset my Apple id password
Backed up all my contacts from Mac Contacts and then reimported them
Synced my iPad through iTunes, syncing the contacts (with the option 'Replace everything on the iPad')
Re-enbaled iCloud sync on the iPad
The Mail, Contacts and Calendars panel in Settings no longer crashes, and all my data is again syncing perfectly across the Win7 Outlook 2010, the Mac Contacts app and the iPad Contacts app.
It felt like a bit of a black-magic solution, and I'm still not sure what the underlying cause of my issues was. Fingers crossed it all hangs together until the next iOS update.
Good luck!

Silencing the default alert in Calendar App (Mountain Lion)

For the newly named Calendar App (was iCal), default alerts behaviour seems to have changed in 10.8 Mountain Lion as compared with iCal in Lion.
Through preferences, it is possible to specify a default alert. I would like to make that alert silent by default (the Basso sound jars). In iCal, before Mountain Lion, this little hack achievd this by making the specified alarm silent: link
Anyone have an equivalent solution for Calendar App in Mountain Lion or experience of using this hack in Mountain Lion?

Does the Alerts tab in your Calendar preferences pane have a "Play a sound" checkbox? If so, will unchecking slience the alerts?
Or, in Notification Center, there's a setting to turn off Calendar sounds.
My issue is that I seem to be missing the "Play a sound" checkbox I described above (see pic for what it *should* look like). Anyone else have this issue?

Default app settings won't stay.

So none of my default app settings in Lion ever stick! They always reset back to the Apple defaults. And yes, I do the whole 'Get Info' thing, and tell it to apply the desired app to all files like that one. But once I restart, the settings revert. Is this a bug? Some weird permissions issue I need to fix? Yes, I repaired them. Still happens. Anyone? Oh, and I don't upgrade becuase my MacPro is too old. It can't!

Ah, just seeing THIS http://ansonalex.com/troubleshooting/default-applications-reset-upon-mac-os-x-li on-10-7-restart/

Stock calendar app not showing GCalendar entries

This is in regard to the stock calendar app' which comes with the Samsung Fascinate. I have all calendars selected as viewable too.
I do like I did on my old phone and also make entries into the phone local calendar "My calendar". These events show in the time-grid-listing-location for their time of day. I now also have combined those along with GCalendar entries.
Googles' do show as a dog-ear on the by Month (for their day), and, also on the Week, but never in the time-grid-listing. "My calendar" entries "DO" show in the time listings.
How do I get the Google calendar (which, by the way, is synch'ed ... I know this also because the GCalendar entries show as a mass-listing at the top of a Day listing, but, not on the time-grid-listing, and, notifications via a GCal' entry work fine too) to show also? Can they not, and/or, do I need to go to the market and get a better calendar app'?
Thanks in advance! Not adverse to abandoning the stock calendar in favor of a much better/robust market-app'. Curious which of a potential multitude is a/thee pick-of-the-litter.

I am almost positive the "MyCalendar" is local-only (only stored on the phone). I have not looked for where it is stored on the phone (either internal mem' or the SD card). I suspect you can find out there the naming convention of that file if you need to back it up. I fear that hard-reset.
I roll 3 GMAIL accts plus the 1 local calendar (for stupid little reminders only). In the new 2.2 Android OS, there appears much better view-ing ability between them, or all, and turning certain ones on and off manually (open the stock calendar app', hit the menu button, hit settings, and then hit calendars (bunch of checkboxes for all of your calendars, even those subscribed to via google)).
I don't know if you can pick a default calendar - mine always automatically chooses MyCalendar, and, once an event is created, you are stuck with that event in that calendar (little bogus).

Calendar list in calendar app is empty

I have about 4 calendars that come from various email accounts including iCloud email. They are all turned on in general settings. iOS 5.1.1 (9b206)
When I go to the calendar app, it seems to be slow. I want to turn off a specific calendar. When i click the calendar button in the top left of the screen, the phone hesitates. After about 30 seconds to a minute, the list drops down and it is completely empty.
I have tried turning off, and then on, all calendars in the mail settings and it still does not show anything in the list. I have tried restoring the phone and it still shows nothing in the list.
Is there a setting that I am missing?
I also dont have a default email setting in my general email settings. That option does not appear. Where as it does on a couple other friend's phone.
Thank you
Charles

Hi,
While going through the demo I had/have exactly the same problem with the browsers IE7 complaning about js errors, Firefox 2.0 just sits there quietly and does nothing.
While checking the logs I found, this in the log for esb-dt,
07/01/28 05:57:45.468 esb_console: Servlet error
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\j2ee\oc4j_soa\applications\esb-dt\esb_console\picasso\util\util.url.js (Access is denied)
This was exactly the same file my AVG Antivirus complains being a threat (.url.js) After disabling the antivirus i could log to ESB Console and see the services.
I don't know if it applies to your problem, Hope it helps
