Ical default on LION

on lion ical defaults to ALL DAY, can I change that? in the past it defaulted to one hour appointments, what happened to that?

Unfortunetely the only way is to uncheck the box each time you set up an entry. I trust enough feedback from users will convince Apple to change that in the future.

Yours will help that effort.

Force Outlook 2011 to use iCal default calendar to synchronize with google

Here is a problem.
My default calendar program is Outlook 2011.
I have an iCal synchronizing with my google calendar and outlook to sync with iCal via Sync Services - so in theory my outlook calendar should be synchronized with Google.
I setup in iCal's preferences my google calendar as default (because iCal synchronizing only Google calendar not the other calendars on my mac) so at this stage, if I use iCal to add new remainder/appointment it is store by iCal in default calendar (which I setup to be my google calendar) and is synchronizing with goggle calendar right away.
Synchronizing between iCal and google works fine, however there is a problem with outlook sync with iCal, because Outlook synchronizing all items in iCal with “no category” calendar (which seems to be default and although I have changed in preferences of iCal default calendar to be the google one). Even if I delete all “on my mac” calendars - outlook creates always new one called “no category”, when I try to add new appointment with Outlook.
So there is question, how to force Outlook (or maybe syncservice) to use my google calendar in iCal as default. I think once it be possible, synchronizing between Outlook and my google calendar (via Sync Services and iCal) works great.
Anyone knows how to manage it?
My system:
Outlook is 14.1.4 version
MacOs X Lion 10.7.3
iCal 5.0.2

Hi Maxulus,
Did you ever find a soloution to this, as we have the same problem?

Lost ical events with lion upgrade...how do I find them?

Does anyone know how to get all ical events to appear in ical after a lion upgrade?

This may not help but, I've reached a point where I'll backup everything before ANY kind of upgrade or update and I'll even have two sets of Time Machine backups. I guess you'll have to restore forgetting about the upgrade and retry after refreshing the backup on a SECOND drive, don't allow yur current backup to start a new session at all, you may loose it. Maybe too late, but I just saw this now. Good Luck!

How do I view reminders or To Do's in iCal in Mountain Lion

Just upgraded to Mountain Lion today. Have hundreds of tasks, ToDo's, reminders - whatever you want to call them. Previously they appeared on right side of iCal as a list. I see no "Show Reminders" in View menu, nothing in Preferences. Searched for a reminder and nothing came up. Has everything gone to "Reminders" app?

I was disappointed to find that Calendar and Reminders are two separate apps in Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.3). But I am more disappointed that I didn't think to check for discussions about this issue before upgrading. I didn't think to check on iCal in Mountain Lion because iCal was working so well. If it ain't broke why change it?
I have a little network of three 2011 model iMacs that had been running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.8) with Snow Leopard Server on a Mac mini. We don't share files as much as diary entries and our to-do lists. We are very happy with how OS X 10.6 handles this.
There are a couple of pieces of software that I would like to use that only run on Lion or Mountain Lion so I thought I'd upgrade one of the iMacs to Mountain Lion. After the upgrade Calendar appears to have picked up the iCal data on the iMac and our shared iCal data on the server but not the to-do list items. It appears from the discussions that no provision has been made to import the data into Reminders. Strangely, some completed to-do items appeared in Reminders.
After my first shutdown and next startup of the iMac I also encountered the frozen dialogue box "Upgrading calendars …" which some of the discussions mentioned. Calendar quit OK and I re-opened it without the dialogue box appearing again. Calendar is a big window too that doesn't seem to be able to be reduced down much.
Some years ago I used an application called Now Up-to-Date on various Macs running OS 8. It combined a calendar and to-do list that could be shared on a network but the network features didn't work with OS X in Classic mode. It wasn't until later versions of OS X that iCal incorporated the combined features.
This is a bit of a long story but for the first time using Macs I think I will uninstall an upgrade. My little network was working fine. I'm also not keen to upgrade the server to Mountain Lion and risk messing up features that have been working well.

How do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion. Everything is greyed and too small. And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which are now invisible?

how do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion. Since upgrading, all fonts are grey, instead of black, and too small. And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which also are grey and almost invisible? And if you can asnwer this, can you tell me how to get back the email format I had before the upgrade? I no longer have column headings and I'd like them. Thank you.

Do you know about changing the font colors for ical, and the color of the scroll bars?
No, I don't. I don't use that program; I fiddled with it just now, and could not find a way to do that.
Perhaps someone else will have an idea.

Check iCal preferences, the Accounts Tab. You might have duplicate accounts.

ICal defaults to print ALL calendars-help!

I just went to print my first calendar from iCal after upgrading to 10.5.6 from Tiger. Instead of iCal defaulting to the calendar I was working in, it defaults to print all calendars at once. I have to uncheck every calendar except the one I want to print. "Help" explains that the default should be the calendar I selected and was working on. Any suggestions?

ltrager58,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It appears to me that "Help" is incorrect. The calendar selection for printing is ultimately made in the "Print" window using the "Calendars" pane.
I suggest that you provide iCal Feedback.

Ical default font familyname ?

hi, i wonder if it is correct that ical default font is helvetica neue ?
tia. mike

Sorry, no. I just don't know. You could work it out by comparing the two fonts (the verticals on some characters look a bit wider in Lucida than in Helvetica) but it is an academic question, as I don't think you have any control over it. If those fonts are missing or damaged iCal won't work properly.

ICal default settings

The default setting on my iCal is always a ‘whole day’ event. I know you can change that by typing in ‘Movie at 7:00 PM.' But I find this an unsatisfactory solution.
Sometime ago I found a Terminal command that sets the default for whatever minutes you want to set:
defaults write com.apple.iCal 'Default duration in minutes for new event' 60
but it doesn’t work. Could someone help me by improving the command?
Thanks,
Klaus

It DOES read 60.
However, it works now... I am ashamed to admit, but I didn’t do the basic first procedure to fix the problem: restart the computer. Though I quit iCal when doing the Terminal commands, there is probably some setting in the preference file that only gets read once at start-up.
Thank you for your help
Klaus

How do I set ical default values in lion?

I have just upgraded to Lion and so far, so good. In the new iCal, how do I set the default values? In the old version, when you clicked on the calendar, the default value was a 1 hour meeting around the current time of day. The new version defaults to an all-day meeting. I like the old way better, or best would be to have it as a preference.
Is there a way to set this that I'm not seeing?

Mike,
It sounds to me like you are using the "Month" view for that entry.
Default event creation in Month view results in an all day event.
Lion iCal Help (Add events to a calendar) says: "Add a new event in Month view by double-clicking within the day you want the event to appear. Enter a name and time duration for the event in the event’s title field, and then press Return."
Try entering "Meeting at 9am"...that will create a one hour event named Meeting.

How do I set iCal default alterts

Change iCal default alert.

Is it possible to change the default alert in iCal to email with Mac OS X Lion?

I see that with the introduction of Mavericks that they did not introduce the opportunity to set default alerts in their new Calendar upgrade, which I imagine would help a lot of people and would be relatively easy to create.
I like to have an email alert for every Calendar event in my Inbox (the best way for me not to miss any event) and at the moment with Mavericks Calendar it takes 4 clicks every time I set up a new event to achieve this, which os a real pain. It is even more clicks than Mountain Lion.
Does anyone know a workaround to achieve that until they write the software.
Does anyone else have this problem too?
