How do I add my gmail calendar to the default calendars list for reminders?

When I right click on a time/date in my mac mail message to add it to a calendar, it defaults to my home calendar. As best as I can tell this is determined by the option for setting your default calendar for reminders in the preferences for iCal. In my preferences for iCal I can set my main calendar preference to my gmail calendar, but I can not set the default calendar for reminders to my gmail calendar. My gmail account shows up as grayed out and doesn't show any of my gmail calendars as options. Is it possible to set reminders to my gmail calendar? How? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,
Google Calendars do not sync Reminders (what Google call Tasks) via CalDAV. That is why you cannot set up the default iCal Reminders list to the Google options.
Best wishes

Setting the Mobileme calendar as the default calendar on my iPhone

Guys, my question is quite simple. I have tried in many ways but I can't manage to set the Mobileme calendar as the default calendar in my iPhone. At the moment, the default is the iPhone calendar, which doesn't sync with my Mobileme account and consequently I have all my appointments only on my iPhone and not in my Macbook Pro or my PC.
Any advice on the above will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Fabio

How do I add my own headers to the default set of request headers without using a plug-in?

When I open HTTP Live Headers, I see that there are default request headers that go out from the browser to the server. I want to add a Pragma header with a specific value to be sent. This will help me to remove a plug-in from my arsenal and thereby be sure that all the request headers are going as a part of the request.

I think this probably requires an extension. As far as I know, there is no preference you could change in about:config or user.js to "add a header".
Or are you generating the request with JavaScript?

How do I add a site back to the most visited list after clicking on forget it?

I clicked on forget it for a site but Firefox also deleted a related link on the same site.

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
Firefox keeps JSON backups of the bookmarks in the bookmarkbackups folder, one each day that Firefox has been started up to a maximum of 10.
*Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore > Choose File
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
Restoring a JSON backup will replace all existing bookmarks, so you lose bookmarks that were created at a time after this backup has been created.
Note that the xx part in the file name of the JSON backup (bookmarks-####-##-##_xx.json) shows the number of bookmarks stored in the backup.

How can I add manually-downloaded podcasts into the iTunes Podcase lists?

I see no way to "import" an existing podcast MP3 file into the Podcast screen so it shows up in an existing Podcast list. I need this because I have older podcast episodes which the downloaded subscriptions do not include anymore, but these old episodes really belong in the same podcast list as the newer ones.
This is a glarimg omission that makes the podcast screen inflexible and hard to use - plz help!
Thanks,

Anybody know the magic to make this work?

Do you mean you have two separate iCloud accounts, one with an @me.com login and one with a Gmail login?
Presumably you have the @me.com one signed in in System Preference>iCloud? You will have to sign of it and sign in with the Gmail account, perform the downgrade, sign out, and sign back in with the @me.com one.

How do I add a webcal subscription to my iCloud calendar?

Hello.
I switched to Lion and iCloud yesterday. I was able to move my calendar from MobileMe to iCloud and it's also in my iCal just fine.
I also have a webcal subscription from a scheduling service that manages my client appointments (webcal://www.acuityscheduling.com/..... --not going to post the actual address here). I am able to subscribe in iCal just fine, but I'd also like to have those appointments in my iCloud calendar at icloud.com, so I can access it when I'm not at my main computer.
How do I add that webcal subscription to my iCloud calendar?
Thank you!

Thanks Tbird360!!!
Great! it works as stated. I even tried subscriping it from iphone Calendar subscription and it worked. Now I could access my calendar on my iphone directly.
steps here
MS Outlook -> Calendar -> Publish Online -> updates
choose WebDav service providers that provide the service. I chose box.com.
Box.com would give webdav url
use that on your iphone settings->mail, calendar-> add Calendar subscription -> https://url ends with .ical (replace webcal:// with https://)
enter userid and pwd of box.com
Thats it. it works great..
It would hv been better if icloud has webdav publishing option though.
Thanks

Sorry this isn't true. When you are in iCal on your machine go to File - New Calendar Subscription then paste in your link (webcal://www.acuityscheduling.com/.....) then edit your link and remove webcal and replace with https (https://www.acuityscheduling.com/.....) your link has to be ics compliant and make sure you change the location to iCloud then it should work.

ICal Lion is infuriating. How can I add a new event in a chosen calendar without having to create it in my default then edit it?

iCal Lion is infuriating. How can I add a new event in a chosen calendar without having to create it in my default then edit it?

We are all entitled to our own opinions. So I respect you there brother
But then again, Apple has its own basis. iOS is what's selling like pancakes not Macs, so if the gazillions out there are using iOS device and have gotten used to the calendar in their iOS devices. Wouldn't you think it made sense if Lion has the same calendar look and feel?
Everything was considered and weighthed when they developed Lion. They even mentioned it in the press, They were blown away with the success of iOS so they are extending it to OSX.
Quite frankly, I like the old iCal but yeah I don't expect anything in SL to stay in Lion otherwise it'll be another Cat name related to Leopard
People should start looking at this perspective and not get STUCK in the old OS.

When I try to add a new event to iCal a dialog says "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". How do I cancel this?

When I try to add a New Event to iCal a dialog box keeps saying "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". iCal is, however, receiving up-dates from my other devoces via iCloud. Can anyone help unblock this for me please?

You can not add events to the birthday's calendar. To add birthday's to the birthday calendar you need to add the birthday to a contact in the Contacts app.
You can set your default calendar here:
iCal > Preferences > General > Default Calendar and chose the calendar you want to default to.

How do I add my friends birthdays to the pre installed "birthdays" calendar on my iPad 2

I have added birthdays to the default calendar but there is a birthdays one and I want to put my friends birthdays on that calendar but it won't let me. When I look under calendars there is a calendar called birthdays under other but I can't use it.

That calendar uses birthdays entered for your contacts. My contacts come from my Mac's Address Book and if I delete a contact's birthdate in my Address Book, it is also deleted from my iPad's Calendar.

How do i have multiple calendars on my default calendar setting?

How do i get shared calendars onto my default calendar so i am able to view everything in one place?

The default calendar is the one that events are added to unless you specify something different. Their can be only one.
What are you syncing your phone to for calendars? Gmail? Outlook? iCloud? Something else? Without knowing that, it's hard to give advice.

How do you set the default calendar in iCal

I have 6 different calendar. I want a certain one to be the default calendar in iCal but cannot figure out how to make it happen.

Andrew,
The most you can do to the calendar you want to be 'default or so say' is to drag it to the top of the list in iCal. What that will do is if you get an invitation in Mail it will add it to that top calendar.
If you mean you want to be able to choose were your Notes and To Do's goto? Go to while in mail (Mail)/(Preferences)/(Composing)/ and in the (Create Notes & To Do's in:) select (On My Mac). Now you will have an option of what calendar you want to use when you make the Note/To Do.
Other then that you have to select the Calendar you want as default.
Hope that helps,
Weston
