How do I turn off "all day" default on calander?

In my calander on iPad when I add an event the "all day" functions always turned on. How can I change it so that the default is set to off?

Here is a link to the artical I read.

also in th artical there is a terminal edit you can do to change it to 60 minutes.
Q: The default duration for new events is one hour. Can I change this?
A: Not using iCal’s interface or preferences, but, as often, there’s a way to do this using Terminal. Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities), and enter (or just copy and paste) the following text if you want to set your events to default to 30 minutes:
defaults write com.apple.iCal 'Default duration in minutes for new event' 30
Press Return. If iCal is running, quit the application and relaunch it for the change to take effect.
If you want a different duration, replace “30” with something else. If you want to change this back to the one-hour default, run the same command with 60 as the duration.

    How do I turn off 'All' the photos in iMovie 11 without having to turn off each one?

    Hi AppleMan 1958,
    Sorry I was typing too quickly ....
    It should have said: "How do I turn off the 'Ken Burns' effect of all the photos without..."etc.
    Having read another comment on this forum, I think I have the answer.
    By going to File>Project Properties, and then turning off the Ken Burns effect.
    Don't know how you feel about iMovie 11, but I think its pretty awesome don't you think?
    Thanks for pointing out my stupid question!
    Kind regards,
    Bob

  • How do I turn off all of the notifications? They are so annoying.

    How do I turn off all of the notifications on iPad mini? All of them at once. They are so annoying. And it's annoying to go to preferences and put off the notifications for every app. When I instal any app it asks me - do you want to recieve notifications? I say no, but almost every app does the notifications.
    P.S.
    I wish to **** someone in apple for this annoying thing. Please tell me how to turn this annoying thing off.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • How do I turn off all alerts for a specific email account

    I want to disable all notifications for a specific email account and I can't find the options to do this. So basically I have 3 email accounts linked on my blackberry. I and I want to make it so that any time account #3 gets an email I don't get a red flashing light or a new message * anywhere. I case you're wondering I've funneled all those annoying promo adds to this one account. It's just that sometimes some of them actually have good deals so I want to be able to check them every now and then but it's seriously annoying when my red light is going off constantly. NEVER MIND! I found it, but I'm going to leave this here incase anyone else it looking for something like this. You go into notification profiles and change the settings for that profile. So it's :   Notifications -> Profiles -> Normal (or which ever one you want) -> Customize App Notifications -> Email Messages -> Select email account you want -> Turn off all notifications or modify them to your preference. It does suck that you can't just globally set it by email account. It seems you have to go through each profile and change the settings one at a time. Most people probably only have 3 though so it's not that big a deal #firstworldproblems. DOUBLE NEVER MIND! So the "solution" I mentioned above only seems to work for the LED indicator and the instant popup you that comes on the top of the screen when you get a new notification. I'm still getting the red "new email" star on the side bar when I do a quick look from the homescreen or an app. And the 3rd email account has a "new email" red star next to it as well. Hoping someone out there knows how to turn them off for a specific email account. Thanks. - Kbye

    Hi, I am using German OS therefore maybe the items are called differently in English: 1) Go into the main menu 2) Select "Alerts" 3) select the Profile you like to adjust 4) Select App Alerts 5) Select Email 6) You sould see your 3 mail accounts listed 7) Select the one you like to "mute" and you can set everything (sound, LED, vibration etc. individually for this acount) Hope it helps Alex

  • HOW DO I TURN OFF "ALL CAPS"?

    I'M WRITING THIS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I CAN'T TURN OFF ALL CAPS...THE CAPS LOCK DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK. WHAT CAN I DO TO CORRECT THIS? THANKS AND I'M SORRY I'M YELLING.

    I've never seen that happen in the 25 years I've been using Macs, and based on the fullsome description of the events leading up to it on your computer, we have as much clue as you.
    In fact less, because we weren't there when it happened.
    Even your model description "iMac" is so descriptive, I could fill a room with possibilities.
    The usual approach to getting an answer would be to let us know if you had added any new software, changed any settings or preferences, how old your equipment is, what software you were using at the time etc etc.
    In other words clues that might elicit a sensible answer.
    P.
    btw Which card am I holding up to my screen?

  • How do you turn off all email notificatons on this forum?

    I have a serious problem concerning using these forums.  I started a thread and I wanted to receive an email notification when someone answered my question.  I clicked on receive email notification up to the right.  Now I get notifications for all the threads in the forum.  This is several hundred per day.  I went and turned off the notification on the thread. Also, I went to notification preferences and checked no for each of the choices.  Made sure I saved the changes.    Still getting all of them.
    I have a habit of having Many (15-20) tabs open in Firefox.  I had several different threads open at the same time.  I don’t know if this has anything to do with my question, but I did see some receive email notifications checked on some of the threads. I turned of email notifications wherever I found them.
    How do I turn all of these notifications off?  I can’t find a forum  to post questions about operation of the forum, so I’m posting here.
    Your assistance is very much appreciated.
