How can I make iCal my desktop?

When I start up my iMac, I would like to have iCal as my desktop. Is there a way that I can do this?
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Hi there all
For some reason now when I sync, my phone overwrites the desktop applications (notes, iCal etc)
How can I make them sync again? I must have clicked something!
Thanks

You may have choose to replace data on the computer with data on the iPhone. Try Resetting the Sync History from the iSync applications Preferences window and then choose Merge on the next sync. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030 provides more details about Resetting the Sync History.

How can I make iCal open to today?

In moving from Mavericks to Yosemite, iCal has stopped always opening to today's date. Instead it opens to whatever day (week, month, etc.) I was last working on in the calendar, which means it's easy to make mistakes like deleting a recurring appointment from the wrong week (intending to delete this week's meeting and instead deleting one in a subsequent week because that's what the program opened to).
How can I restore the behavior it had in Mavericks, where it always opens to the current date?

Still looking for an answer to this question. It's very frustrating. Google hasn't helped.

How can I make iCal in Lion open to the current date?

I just updated from Snow Leopard to Lion and have had all of the frustrations with changes to iCal that are well-documented here and elsewhere. One issue I haven't seen addressed, however, is a new behavior after quitting and re-starting.
Previously, no matter what month/day/week I was viewing when I quit iCal, it would open the next time to the current (month/day/week). Now, it opens to whatever date(s) I was last viewing when I quit.
This is highly annoying - 99% of the time, if I quit iCal while looking at (some date 6 months into the future), that is NOT the date I'm looking for when I re-launch. It's much more consistent behavior to always re-open to the current date, in whatever view (month/day/week) I previously used. So if today I launch iCal and I'm thinking about adding an event a month in the future, I open iCal, change to month view if needed, and go forward one month. This is the way iCal always worked previously. Instead, the version in Lion might leave me on any random month, depending on what I was doing when I closed the program the last time, and so I have to figure out "what month/week am I looking at?" before I know how to navigate. Very irritating. (As is the move of the forward/back buttons away from the month/day/week buttons, necessitating that I move the cursor to two different areas of the screen in order to navigate. Whose idea was THAT?)
I haven't found a preference to resolve this bizarre behavior change. Can anyone help?

Hi,
I don't know of a preference, but have you used ⌘-T in iCal?

How can I make iCal wrap text in month view?

Lion iCal only dispays one line of text for each entry in month view. How do I set it to display two lines, or to wrap the text so the full entry can be viewed? On Snow Lepoard it displayed two lines of the same calendar.

This is also an issue for me. The way my entries are put into the calendar put the variable information about the event at the end, which means in order to see what the event is, I have to click each event. Very annoying. I'd love to see a fix for this.

How can I make dmenu_run read .desktop files?

I'm using dmenu as an alternative for gnome-do, and I'm running it with 'dmenu_run'.
But not all programs are in the PATH, so I would like dmenu to read my .desktop files
too, like the menus in Xfce, GNOME etc.

as long as $PATH is set, you shouldn't need to reconnect them (i think). if you send the list of apps through | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}' | that'll strip the path
/edit: added the "(i think)" part

How can I make a window show up in every desktop?

How can I make a window show up in every desktop so when a user switches views it's still on their screen, using Xcode, Applescript-ObjC?

hi, try this:
public static void centerWindow(Window win){
Dimension screenSizeWithSpeedBar = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
Dimension screenSize = new Dimension(screenSizeWithSpeedBar.width,screenSizeWithSpeedBar.height-25);
Dimension frameSize = win.getSize();
if (frameSize.height > screenSize.height)
frameSize.height = screenSize.height;
if (frameSize.width > screenSize.width)
frameSize.width = screenSize.width;
win.setSize(frameSize);
win.setLocation((screenSize.width - frameSize.width) / 2, (screenSize.height - frameSize.height) / 2);
It works with following arguments: JWindow, JFrame and JDialog

How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

I'm wondering the same thing.
Under Lion, my calendars' color coding is next to useless because they're suddenly so muted.
Previously I could easily pick out which events belonged to which calendar without effort. Now, all the colors are so light as to be nearly indisinguishable; I must toggle calendars off and on to highlight a calendar's events.

On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

Click on the Hot Corners.. button and look at the four definitions. In the picture below, if you moved the cursor to the right top of the screen, it would slide all the applications off the screen as you describe and show the desktop. Set it to "-" to deactivate.

An index of my desktop files appears in firefox. why is it there? does this mean my personal files are accessible from the internet? how can i make sure this goes away and stops?

i am seeing and index of my personal files on firefox. what is this? why is it there? how can i make it go away? does this mean my desktop files are on the internet? can someone explain clearly and simply (i am not tech saavy at all) thank you

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
Helvetica abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 
Helvetica Neue abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
</nowiki></pre>
You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page. 
Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.

I exported a iphoto slideshow to desktop, converted it to mpg file by using BURN app, burned to DVD and exported to a USB flashdrive. The DVD looks great but flashdrive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make flashdrive sharper?

I exported an iphoto slideshow to desktop, converted it to mpg file by using the BURN app, burned it to a DVD and exported it to a USB flash drive. The DVD looks great and very sharp but the slideshow on the USB flash drive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make the slideshow on the flash drive look as sharp as the DVD?

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

ICal does not allow me to edit "minutes" in the appointments. when i make an appointment it defaults it to xxhrs 08mins (example 16:08) how can i make an appointment for 16:00 or 15:30 hrs ...etc.

Hi,
You can change this in System Preferences, Language & Text.
Go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats tab and change where it says Custom to your location. Then re-open iCal.
Let us know how it goes.

Somehow I created a live copy of "Finder" on my desktop. It is titled "iPhoto Library", and has live copies of all of my files/photos/music. How can I make it go away without deleting all of my content?

Either you moved or copied your iPhoto library folder to the Desktop.
Quit iPhoto. Rename the folder on your Desktop to something else, such as "foo." Launch iPhoto. If you still see all your photos, you can delete "foo."
If you don't see your photos, quit iPhoto, rename "foo" to "iPhoto Library," and put it in your Pictures folder. Try iPhoto again.
