How do I set the default calendar reminder?

When I create an event, the reminder has "default reminder" set. I have no idea what that is currently set to, nor where to set it. Tools > options > calendar has one option: time zone. How do I set this?

I have the same issue. I've searched these forums and found lots of people who have asked this same question, but nobody who has received an answer.
About a year ago, I migrated from a Windows PC and a Blackberry (both of which had very simple default alert options) to a MacBook Pro and an iPhone and have yet to find a solution on this forum or from any of my Apple-savvy friends. Very discouraging.

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

Does anyone know how to change where incoming (via mail) calendar requests go on my MacBook? Mine insist on going to Entourage, which I don't use any more. I've tried setting the default calendar in iCal preferences. Doesn't help. Bugs me. Can you help?

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts?

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts? I always want to have an alert 15 minutes before my appointments. I don't want to have to manually set it each time I make an appointment (I just moved to iphone from a windows mobile where this was basic stuff so I apologise if this is a noob question).

How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

gurus,
i'm using -
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
i did the following to achieve this -
1. logged into portal
2. clicked on builder
3. clicked on administer tab
4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
5. went to the preferences tab
6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
7. logged out of portal
8. open a new browsere session
9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
ideas anyone ....?
thanx a bunch.
hero

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.
Regards,
Ved

How can I set the default line height?

Greetings,
I have a report that displays observed behavior in a list format like the one below:
Behavior Observed:
    Withdrawn
    Happy
    Sad
    angry
There are 5 responses as to the severity of the behavior or it is left blank if the behavior was within normal limits.
So the output would look like this:
Behavior Observed:
    Withdrawn            (mild)
    Happy
    Sad                      (moderate)
    angry
The problem is that when this report was designed the details sections were not uniformy formatted and the spacing between data elements is hard to follow from the label to the data field. I tried to set the details to be uniform by selecting "Arrange Lines", however when I do this, the data is displayed too close horizontally. So my question is how do I set the default line height for each field so that they are uniform in distance from each other but not too close due to the font height?
Does this make sense?
Thank you,
Kevin

I'm confused... How are you associating line height with horizontal field spacing???
If you have this...
Behavior Observed:     Severity:
Withdrawn          (mild)
Happy
Sad               (moderate)
angry
But want it to look like this...
Behavior Observed:
Withdrawn (mild)
Happy
Sad (moderate)
angry
all you have to do is create a concatenation formula. Something like this...
{TableName.BehaviorObserved} & " (" & {TableName.Severity} &")"
Sorry if I've misunderstood what you are trying to do.

How do I set the default text in a bound textbox?

How do I set the default value of a bound textbox when the AddNewItem button on the MenuStrip is clicked?
I have the following code (see below), but for some reason it does work when I put the code in the
AddNewItem_Click event; however, it does work if I put it in the
Form's Load Event. The statement in question is Me.txtBusUsagePct.Text = 100.
What am I doing wrong? Why can't I set the default text in the AddNewItem_Click
event?
Private Sub BindingNavigatorAddNewItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BindingNavigatorAddNewItem.Click
Me.txtBusUsagePct.Text = "100"
End Sub
BobV365

Hello,
Here I am using mocked up data but the important thing is after loading the data. Requires on the form a BindingNavigator and two text boxes.
Public Class Form1
WithEvents bsData As New BindingSource
Private Sub Form1_Load(
ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Using MockedData As New DataTable()
MockedData.Columns.AddRange(New DataColumn() _
New DataColumn("PartName", GetType(String)),
New DataColumn("partqty", GetType(Int32))
MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part A", 100})
MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part 99", 34})
MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part B", 4})
bsData.DataSource = MockedData
End Using
CType(bsData.DataSource, DataTable).AcceptChanges()
BindingNavigator1.BindingSource = bsData
TextBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", bsData, "Partname")
TextBox2.DataBindings.Add("Text", bsData, "partqty")
End Sub
Private Sub bsData_AddingNew(
ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.AddingNewEventArgs) _
Handles bsData.AddingNew
Dim dv As DataView = TryCast(bsData.List, DataView)
Dim rv As DataRowView = dv.AddNew()
rv("PartName") = "(new)"
rv("partqty") = 0
e.NewObject = rv
bsData.MoveLast()
End Sub
End Class

How do I set the default size of a new folder?

I have finder sized the way I want for existing folders and if I do Finder > New Finder Window. These preferrences, however, do not seem to apply to new folders. Everytime I create a new folder on my desktop, and open that folder for the first time, the window size is really small and the sidebar is narrow. This is incredibally annoying. How do I set the default size for all new folders? Is there a plist file I can edit to fix this? Or an AppleScript I can run automatically in the background that fixes this? I am running Mavericks 10.9.1.

If you use the Finder's New Finder Window command (command N) to create a new window, resize it, place it where you want, and set it for icon view or however you want it. Then close it. Closing it is what sets these as the default. That should become the default for every new Finder window you create using the new window command. But if you have lots of windows open at once and then close them, the last window you close will set a new default.
There are lots of utilities that control Windows - their size and placement. I use one called Moom but there are many more.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

How do I set the default folder for file - open file... ?

When I save a file, photo, etc., the default folder for OPENING a file becomes the last folder I SAVED to - even after closing and reopening Firefox. Is there a way to maintain the same default folder for opening files?
Thanks.

I ask a question here as a last resort -- after I've done what I think
is an appropriate search for answers.
But thanks for your help in any case.

How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg

How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg, even ones that are not yet installed / connected to the computer?
I'm trying to install firefox with MDT and apply certain print options, but the printers themselves are connected at a later stage so the print.printer_myprinterhere cannot be used.

Best answer I could find: [https://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/16/customizing-firefox-autoconfig-files/#comment-132668]
If you can figure out how to add the printer name, this can be used to lock the margins.

In your Optimize settings if you set it to "Make Compatible with Acrobat 5.0 or Later" it will bring it down to PDF 1.4

How do I set the default currency in Discoverer Plus?

How do I set the default currency in Discoverer Plus?
The currency in currently defaulting to $. Where is the setting to alter this so we can have UK pounds instead? The data has been entered in GBP.

Thank you Esther, but, following your steps, when I get to Select Currency, there are no symbols to select. There is just a generic symbol, which means it will pick whichever currency is defaulted. All I can do is tick or untick the 'Use' box.
Do you have an e-mail address I can send a printscreen to?
Thank you very much for your help.
