Default new event From - To time not practical 12:00am???

Tried everything and can't alter the default From time on new events from 12:00am. How / can this be changed to something more practical, like 8:00 am?
I have the correct time zone set, and country. I have the latest updates.

Hi,
On my computer the default time iCal sets events up for is the next hour. (i.e. at 3.35pm it will make the event at 4pm).
Best wishes

Transfer new events from iPod?

I have iCal at home and work. I don't want a .mac account and it seems like I should be able to sync my calenders with my iPod, i just can't figure out how to do it.
When I open the Calendars folder on my iPod in Finder and open one of the iSync calendar files there, it switches to iCal and the message "This calendar contains new events. Please select a destination calendar." But there aren't any new events and when I select a destination calendar, it duplicates the events already listed (because they are already on iCal and on my iPod).
It seems like there should be a way to import only new events so they are not duplicated over and over. Any one know of one?

The calendars that you see in the folder marked "Calendar" on your iPod all have names that start with ISync. They are files of your individual calendars, and you will only see them on your iPod. You won't see these files in your computer. You'll see them in your Finder window because it shows you what is in your iPod's hard drive, if you've checked "enable disk use" in your iPod's preferences in iTunes. Think of them as copies of what you have done so far in each of your individual calendars. I still think of calendar as meaning everything on my calendar, but iCal sees calendar as meaning each subject or category of the whole database. The database is everything, all of the categories you have in iCal. The ISync file for a specific calendar/category is everything you have in each individual category up to the point that you sync your iPod with your computer.
If someone wanted to copy just their "Work" calendar/category to a computer at work, they could import the ISync-Work.ics file from their iPod's "Calendars" folder to their computer at the office. That sounds like what you have described. It wouldn't add or update just one event, though, as you've discovered. It will import everything that's in that category. This is good if you don't want your personal calendars from your home computer or your iPod copied to your work computer. However, if someone did need all of their calendars, everything in their other computer's iCal from home copied to the work computer, then using iCal to make a back up is the better choice. I make a back up of my iCal to my computer regularly just in case I need it for any reason. If I want to have everything the same on my work computer, I can use my iPod's hard drive like a flash drive or portable drive. I can then go to iCal on the other computer, and choose "Revert to Database Backup". Technically, that means to go back to a previously saved version of everything you had in iCal. You could revert to iCal as you had it last year, last month, or yesterday. But you can also "revert" to the backup you made this morning or five minutes ago. It's puts in everything that was backed up to that point. Even if I am only updating one event, this takes very little time to do it this way. At this time, I don't know that there are any other options, other than the way you've been doing it and the way I've described. It's important to note, also, that If you've deleted events from one computer, the other computer is going to be exactly the same as the first, if you go this route.
It also sounds like it is time for iCal to get some kind of update to better meet people's current needs. We'll just have to wait for Apple or someone else to create an update or write a program that gives iCal more flexibility!

How do I get iCal to stop defaulting new events to all day?

Just updated to Lion. Overall everything is working well. However, I can't stand some of the things the new iCal is doing.
By default it is defaulting new events to all-day (Rather than setting a time like it did before). Is there anyway to change this back?

This was discussed endlessly right after Lion came out.
Short answer: I don't think you can change this behavior in month view.
However: When you type an event, e.g., "Meet with TIm Cook for lunch, 1 pm", iCal is smart enough to set the time (at 1 pm in this example).

Restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup!

Can you restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup or do you have to restore an entire library?
Whilst deleting some old photos from my library i seem to have accidentally deleted an entire event of photos. I regularly backup my iMac using TIme Machine, so was hoping that i could restore this one event. Is this possible and if so how do you do it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Greetings Martyn,
You can restore events from TimeMachine if you like. Read here.
Rather than clicking on individual pictures, you click on "Events", highlight the events you want, and then click restore.
Hope that helps.

Restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup in Lion

How can I restore an individual iphoto event from a time machine backup using Lion.
Thanks

If you know the file names of the photos you want to restore you can use Find Any File to search your Time Machine hard drive for that file. When it is found you can drag it from the search window to the Desktop and import into iPhoto from there.
Due to the nature of the Time Machine backup structure each search can take a while. The search results window will look like this:

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!

HT4527 My old mac book was backed up to a Time Machine drive. That Macbook is dead. I have a new Mac Mini. How do I get the iTunes library (not just the music files but all other data...playlists, ratings, etc) on the new Mac from my Time Machine?

My old Mac died. I had it backed up to a Time Machine external drive (fortunately). I have a new Mac. I want to get my entire iTunes library from the Time Machine drive to the new Mac. I want not only the music files but all the "library" metadata, playlists, song rankings, unique genre designations. How do I do this?

No backup is a huge mistake.

So syncing new events on iCal is not automatic?

I have 2 computers and an iPhone and it is very important that I keep my calendars and event alarms in sync but this has been a problem since "upgrading" to the new Calendar beta. Now, when I add an event on, say, my home iMac (running Snow Leopard) and either immediately close iCal or if I add it through Mail, the event does not show up on my MacBook, iPhone, or Mobileme unless I go back to the iMac and actually open iCal. Also, let's say I make a change to an event on my iPhone, the change is not reflected in iCal on either computer until I open iCal (imagine the consequences if I happen to not have my phone with me).
I have searched the forum to see if there's a solution to this problem besides keeping iCal at home open all the time, but I haven't found an answer.
Adding a work an event on my home computer's calendar only to have it stay there isn't much use. This is one of the main reasons I'm paying for MobileMe!
I'd really appreciate any suggestions because this problem is just about to drive me nuts. Thanks.

I have been having the same problem; when adding events from mail, they will show up in my iCal Events widget, but will not sync to the phone until I launch iCal. This has only started happening fairly recently, but I can't pinpoint exactly when. I have tried having the calendar set to sync via push and every minute, neither of which has any effect.
This is very aggravating, especially when I have added a new event with specific details that, like Dr. Jones Sr., I have written down so I wouldn't have to remember, and then am out with only my phone which does not have the info.
Please help!
Thanks.

How to delete all the events and create new events from scratch?

I have all my photos separated into albums and I would like these albums to be considered events in iPhoto. The problem is that there are already lots of events in my iPhoto library that are not "real" events. It just so happens they were uploaded at a certain time and during one of my upgrades of iPhoto all these different uploads became different events. Of course, there are some albums I would like to become a single event as well...but I am not sure how to strip all of my photos of events and then add the photos to new events?

Select all the pics in an Album and Flag them.
Then go Events Menu -> Create Event from Flagged Photos
A new Event is created that moves the pics from their existing Event
Unflag the Photos then move to the next album. Repeat.
Regards

New events on Outlook 2010 not syncing with Iphone and Ipad

I have gone through the nonsensical uninstall/reinstall every 5 restars. This time my new events or contacts on Outlook do not show on iPhone or Ipad. There is also a new confirguration where the Outlook does not separate the iCloud calendar from Outlook calendar but lists them all, then iCloud as a separate box at the bottom. I've tried dragging to that box with no success. I make about 50 appointments and reminders to my calendar each week and use all devices whether in the office or out. How dare Apple not fix this known issue.

I just looked at topic called "Outlook 2010 - Outlook does not sync with iPhone / iTunes and used the fix suggested in that string of posts. It appears to have worked!!! My happy camper.

"Show my windows and tabs from last time" not working, Mac OS 10.6.4, FF 3.8.10 or FF 4 Beta 6

I have tried any number of times to get this to work, but it's still not working. On my other Mac with OS 10.6.4 and FF 3.6.8/10 the "show my windows and tabs from last time" is working just fine.
I have checked some of the settings in about:config per some of the other forum posts with resolution to this issue, but this hasn't worked for me. Especially Since some settings have changed in the more recent versions of FF.
I'm pretty sure my settings are correct. Is anyone else having this same issue?
On the Mac exhibiting the issue it prompts me if I want to close all open tabs when the red X is clicked, when I quit firefox it keeps my tabs open just fine when firefox starts up the next time. This is normal behavior, but when the feature in question is active it overrides this behavior, on my other mac, and just stores my last session so that when I open firefox all is as it was before it was closed (either closing it via quit or with the red X will do the trick).
On my new mac, the prompt to close open tabs never goes away and my tabs just vanish, whichever way I close firefox.
I hope that was clear enough. Thanks for any help.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

Create new document from current state not working

Hey, everyone. I'm using Photoshop CS6 (ccloud) on Windows 7 and I just noticed something weird. Often when I'm working on an image that I want to duplicate, I'll click on the create new document from current state icon at the bottom of the history panel and a new image identical to it will open up as expected.
Lately, though, every once in a while, when I click it, I'll get a new image that's not identical. It'll be a few states behind and I don't know why. It's never happened before and I'm not doing anything differently when it happens. I recently ran the CS6 update via ccloud, but I can't recall now if this started happening right before that or exclusively afterward.
In case my issue's not clear, let's say I create a blank image, add a background color, add a layer of text, add a drop shadow to the text, then mask it. When I click the create new document from current state icon, instead of creating a new image that's a duplicate of that one, it will create new one where all that's there is the background color and text and all the other steps of adding a drop shadow and mask aren't there as if I hadn't done it yet.
I make sure that I'm not clicking anywhere else in the history panel and like I said, this just happens at what seems like random times with random images. I've even tried saving an image, closing it, opening it again and immediately clicking that icon and it'll still create a new document that has missing states.
Any idea what's going on?

Yep, that existed in CS5 as well.
We'll log a bug on it.

HT201250 i have lost all my pics on my mac how do i get them back on my new install from my time capsule

how do i get a back up from my time machine?
i tried to load windows on my mac did not work had ti install snow lep all over again
i wanted to recover from my time capsule to recieve all my pics ect but when i go into time machine i have to set it all back up again how do i find my saved files from the last time it backed it up no dates or days nothing ?? have i lost all of my data???

As you erased the drive and reinstalled Mac OS X, Time Machine detects it as a new OS X copy, so it's normal you can't see your old backups. To solve this, see > http://pondini.org/TM/E3.html
If you want to restore all your old data, use Migration Assistant instead > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html It will create a new user with your transferred files

Why can't I receive alerts when my partner include new events from shared calendar?

I am able to share my calendar with my partner and he is able to receive alert whenever I add new event. However, I am unable to see future events which he includes and update in his calendar even though he has shared his calendar with me.
I have checked and the settings in iCloud are there, yet it is still not working.
Can anyone assist or have solution for this? Appreciate much!

yes, calendar alerts are enabled and it is his default calendar which he has shared with me. I have checked all calendars checked under the app as well.
