How to set iCal as the default calendar app again?

So, reluctantly I bought and installed MS Office 2008 for Mac because OpenOffice was not a solution...
However, now Entourage seems to be set as the standard application to handle ics files, although I clicked yes when iCal asked me if I wanted iCal as my standard calendar app.
Nevertheless, whenever I receive an ics file in Mail (generated by Thunderbird Lightning extension) and I click on the ics file Entourage opens instead of iCal, as it used to be.
Any hints on how to tell Mail or OS X or whoever's responsible, to handle ics files with iCal?
BTW, I already tried downloading the ics file, Open With and selected iCal and "always open with" or however it is called in the English version.

Actually, I don't want to use any third-party app here. This should be possible with built-in OS functionality...
Maybe I have to reboot? But I hoped I'd let that behind together with windows

  • Does anyone know how to set alerts in the iCloud calendar of Outlook 2010 for PC?

    Does anyone know how to set alerts in the iCloud calendar on Microsoft Outlook 2010 for a PC?  Outlook gives me a warning message and does not allow me to save alerts for calendar events created in iCloud calendar.  It will allow me to save events in the non-iCloud calendars.

    Ignore what office says, when the warning comes up saying that the reminder will not work click on yes,
    I just tested it and i had the reminder on my ihpone in outlook and also as i had the calendar open in safari it popped up on there too ( I wasn't aware it did that)

  • How do I make Photoshop the default Edit App for .jpg in Windows 7?

    How do I make Photoshop the default Edit App for .jpg in Windows 7?    I want to be able to right click on a .jpg file, select the EDIT option in the Context Menu, then have Photoshop edit the file instead of Paint.
    In Windows XP it was very easy to use the File Manger to associate the file type .jpg and action edit with Photoshop.    No so easy in Windows 7.  It is easy to change the default OPEN application, but I would like to leave Windows Viewer as the default OPEN application and have Photoshop as the EDIT applicaiton.

    Before I posted the original question here, I had probably spent a couple of hours trying to research it.   I hate to find no answer for something I know can be done.   So I spent some more time and found the following in the bowels of a Tech Forum that is generally way over my head.  I have modified it to be Photoshop specific.
    These instructions will update the default EDIT action for image types - jpg,png,gif and the variations.     If you are unfamiliar with editing the program registry you probably will want to back up your registry or take a system backup.
    1. Open up the registry editor (Regedit.exe).
    You will need to be signed on as a Windows user that is an administrator
    2. Find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT -> SystemFileAssociations -> image ->  shell -> edit -> command
    This seems like it would be easy but it is not, because there are many key names that are very close (like System.FilesAssociations).   Keep looking because you will find it eventually. 
    3. Double click on "Default" (on right window pane) and update the program location.
    You should see that MSPAINT.EXE is the current program.
    Erase the existing value and enter you photoshop location in quotes followed by %1 in quotes.  For me this is "C:\Program Files  (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe" "%1"  
    Hit return.
    4.  Exit Regit and test.

  • How do I change the default calendar app used by my system?

    I am using BusyCal as my calendar application in Mavericks and using Postbox as my email application. They just work better for me than the default mail app and calendar on the Mac. One problem I am having, however, is when I get an email with a date in it, which I want to add to my calendar, it automatically opens up my system Calendar app, not BusyCal, to add the item. Is there a way to change it so that my BusyCal app acts as my default app in these and other situations like this?

    Try going into settings > General > international > region format > new zealand. 
    Hope that works.

  • HT2506 How to set outlook as the default mail client for Preview

    When I try to us Preview to email PDFs the Apple Mail client is the default mail client that opens. I use Lion and would like to set Outlook as my default. Does anyone know how to do this? It has been suggested that you click command-P, select PDF and add Outlook there but there are no options to do this. I am stuck and would like some help. I am using outlook:mac2011 version 14.1.4 and Preview 5.5.1
    Cheers

    I did not find a way to change the target application for the "New Email with Attchment" service for files and folders. However, you can follow this instruction here to create ANOTHER service, that will use Outlook: http://www.officeformachelp.com/2010/11/create-a-service-to-attach-files-to-a-ne w-outlook-for-mac-mail-message/

  • How to set or change the default From Address

    I have a number of email address and when i click on the "Compose a new message" the New messge always comes up showing my gmail address in From line. I have to remember to manually use the popup to select the desired address.  I have looked and cannot find a Mail option to select one of the other addresses as the default address for new messages.
    Some help on how to change the default address for new messages will be appreciate.

    You can drag the order of accounts in Mail preferences in the Accounts pane. Put your preferred account as the first.
    Also, in the outgoing server preferences, check the box to use only the server for the selected account. Make sure the correct server is showing.
    Also, if you highlight the account you wish to send from in the sidebar, that should be the active account when creating new messages.
    In addition: Check the mail preferences under composing and make sure you don't have an account selected to send new messages from, or select the account you wish to always send from.

    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 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

  • 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
