ICal default view

How can I change default view back to week view in iCal, as it was before update (as it displays when searching)?

In case anyone else is looking for a solution to this, I'm come up with a temporary hack. It is a shell script that clears out the most recent calendar view, which results in the Calendar app opening to the current day/month. I've setup a crontab job to run the script every 10 minutes. It's not a perfect fix, but it does the job just fine.
The script/terminal command:
/usr/bin/defaults delete com.apple.iCal "CalFirstVisibleDate"
To install a crontab job which runs the script periodically (every ten minutes in this case), insert the following line into your crontab config (run crontab -e from terminal):
*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/iCalDateReset.sh
This assumes that you have installed the script as /usr/bin/iCalDateReset.sh

How to change the default view of published iCal's URL

I am publishing an iCal for a nonprofit group and link to the calendar from the group's website. The default URL given (in the send publish email option) leads to the week view of the current week. I would prefer the link to take site visitors to the month view of the calendar. If I go to the month view and copy the URL for it, and use that for the link, I have to change the URL each month, because the URL that comes from the month view will only show the month it was at the time I copied the URL -- it will not change with the new month. Does anyone have any idea of how I can change the URL so that it leads to the month view of whatever the current month is?
I should note that I know how to change the default view in the my browser, but I would rather not have to explain how to do this to all the people viewing the calendar -- just wanting the correct month view to show up when they click the link, without having to change it each month.
I would be so grateful if anyone has some insight on this!
Thanks.

Carlo,
The fact that this question has been left unanswered for over 2 months seems a little negligent on the part of Apple Support.
This Forum is unfortunately not Apple Support. According to Apple:
What is Apple Discussions and how can it help me?  "Apple Discussions is a user-to-user support forum where experts and other Apple product users get together to discuss Apple products. You'll find a wealth of information about your favorite Apple hardware and software products that will help you get the most out of your purchase.

In direct response to your questions, I would say that (as observed by the OP) anyone who subscribes to a published calendar can make a change to their desired view using the "Preferences" icon which is displayed underneath the mini-month calendars.
There is no way that I know of to directly or conveniently change the time-range. There may be workarounds, but I could not find a suitable solution for you.
I would recommend that you provide iCal Feedback, if you are interested in informing Apple of your desires.

Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW?

Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW? I use this for a vacation rental and people never ever ever ever need to see anything but the MONTH VIEW. I hate having to tell them to click MONTH view at the top of the page. Is there a way to force it to always appear in MONTH? Thanks!

ddotcom,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Unfortunately no, but if they are repeat viewers why not tell them to change their view to "Monthly" using the "Preferences" button on that page?

Can I change the Lion iCal Monthly View "New Event" from All Day?" Default?

I have tried all the posted suggestions to change the iCal "new event" preferably in Monthly View from the default of "All Day" but to no avail. This is a current issue so old terminal changes do not seem to work. Anyone have the same issue?

I also have an issue with not being able to change "end times". Four instance if I schedule an event at 9:00 AM iCal defaults to 10:00 AM. I'll click the end time to change it to 4:00 PM and the time will not change. It defaults back to the same start time or one hour later. I can get the drop down list to appear, but the options are not enough to schedule anything over 3 hours.
Nor can change the "add day" default.
I appreciate any advice/assistance you guys have.
Thanks!

How to change default view in web plugin?

Anyone know how to set a default view in the Reader plugin in Firefox and/or IE? I'm getting sick of having to manually show the task bar and then un-toggle touch mode to get my scroll bar back every time I open a PDF. Thanks!

Thanks! I turned off Touch mode there (Edit\Preferences\General --> set
Touch Mode to "Never")
Then I poked around more and fixed the default view in
Edit\Preferences\Internet --> unchecked "Display in read mode by default"

Changing the default view for Line Items in an Auction.

Hello All,
We have a version 5 client who is asking for us to change the default view for line items in an auction.
Currently, if you have an auction setup, and you go to the Line Items tab, the default view is the "Basic View". The client would like to change the Default from "basic view" to "price view".
Is there a way to change this default in the system? Can this be configured using query groups? Any information would be helpful.

Hi wood cloud,
This is not possible, bcz there is no VLV for that drop down and we cant set it to the price view.
Thanks,
Ankur Goyal

Changing the Default View

I would like to know if and how when I pop in a USB flash drive or view my photo
s in "Finder" and select "Pictures" from my favorites menu list, how can my defu
lt view show ALL my pictures in the folder? OS X tries to be clever by showing r
ecent pics, last week pics, and last 30 days pics first as the default view. I j
ust want to click on my Pictures folder and see all the pictures in there sorted
by 'name' rather than me having to do it manually every single time. Can I alte
r the system default behavior?

Does that make it the default view everytime or must I do that each and every time I select the Pictures folder?

How can i change the default view of recent calls?

Hi,
A similar question was asked here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3072545?start=0&tstart=0
And was not answered.
The default view of recent calls is missed calls on my current configuration.
Not a long time ago the default was all calls.
I didn't change it and don't know how.
How can i change it back? I really don't see the advantage of the current default, most of the users navigate to all calls every time.
I use iphone 4 and ios 5.1.1
Thanks.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
However, I am on 6.1.4, so perhaps there is a diference in the iOS version. It is also a matter of one tap on the screen, so seriously, is it that big a deal?

ICal day view header date error

I'm having an issue with the date header in the iCal day view. No matter what day I select the calendar displays Saturday, November 27th, 2010 in the header (at the right top corner of the screen). The date near the top of the agenda on the left side of the screen is displaying correctly and changes as I change to different dates. Also the icon in the dock is displaying correctly.
I've tried various basic things such as quitting and restarting iCal. Also I've reviewed the preferences for iCal as well as the system preferences and haven't seen anything that would make a difference.
Any assistance or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Eyejinx,
Quit Calendar, and go to System Preferences....>Language & Text>...and set/re-set your "Region:" Restart Calendar.
If that is not successful, quit Calendar again, and paste this text ~/Library into the Finder Menu>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
Next open the Preferences Folder in that Library Folder and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
Log out/in or restart and open Calendar.

ICal month view some events shown only as ..., they show correctly in other views.

iCal month view some events shown only as ..., they show correctly in other views.

This is so utterly annoying- I never had this issue with previous versions of iCal, and I can't even run those versions on tiger now that I've upgraded. The tiger upgrade in general has disrupted my workflow much more than I thought it would-
Because of the way I use iCal, not seeing the full even title in month mode makes iCal pretty much useless to me. I don't want to have to click between dozens of events that begin with "Renders of" to find which set of renderings are due on which days. Nor do I want to go through and rename all of my "Renders of Levels 1a-3c" etc to make the titles more useful. It should just WORK.
Well, let me know if anyone finds a better way of making this work other than "resizing ad lib until things sorta show up"

How can I change iTunes 11 default view?

I really DO NOT LIKE th new iTunes, but I guess I'm stuck with it since I was dumb enough to download it. At least I hope I can change the default view from Albums (totally useless to me) to Songs so I don't have to go through manually changing it each time I open iTunes. I know it can be done in Windows, but how do I do it in Mac? BTW, I'm still using Snow Leopard. Thanks.

First there are no workbooks. All our queries are presented on the portal.
I made the change in the query itself but the default of 'hierarchy nodes' remained. It can be changed to 'single values' at runtime via the context menu, but it's annoying our users to constantly do so.
Second, it makes perfect sense to want to see single values for a characteristic by default and a hierachy optionally. These are customers or sales agents - normally we just want their name- optionally we want to see their organizational structure.This worked fine in 3.x.

After ios5 update, iCal week view Oct 2-8 has 2 Saturdays?

Is anyone else having problems with iCal week view on iPad after ios5 update?
Two major changes have occurred...
1. Week view used to start on Monday, now Sunday (and can't change it back).
2. If you look at the week October 2-8, 2011 there are 2 Saturdays and no Friday or following Saturday...
Any ideas? Is this a wait for ios5.1 issue?
Cheers
Chris

If you are using a Mac, go to Settings>Software Update ... check for any updates, and update all.
Chances are you are not using iTunes 10.5, which is required to sync iOS 5.
If youare using a PC, suggest you uninstall your iTunes, download fresh iTunes 10.5 from Apple.com/itunes and install it.

Is there a way to make List View in the Calendar your default view in iOS7?

I want to be able to have the List View be my default view on my calendar but I can't find a way to do this. Is there something I am missing?

No, it's not possible. However, there are lots of apps available in App Store that will let you do that. Week Call, Fantatical, Cal, are juste a couple.
Best of luck.

How can we show a custom column to all libraries in the default view without creating that for all libraries everytime

Hi,
Any help?
Thanks
srabon

You can use powershell script below which loops through each libraries and sets view.You can modify the script to user it for single library as well.
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue
$siteURL = "<YOURSITEURL>"
$site = Get-SPSite($siteURL)
foreach($web in $site.AllWebs) {
foreach($list in $web.Lists) {
if($list.BaseType -eq "DocumentLibrary") {
// the variables `$web` and `$list` already reference the objects you need
//$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($SiteURL) ;
//$web = $site.OpenWeb($SiteURL);
// new instance of the list is necessary to avoid the error "Collection was modified"
$newList = $web.Lists.item($list.ID);
$viewfields = New-Object System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection
$viewfields.Add("DocIcon")
$viewfields.Add("LinkFilename")
$viewfields.Add("_UIVersionString")
$viewfields.Add("FileSizeDisplay")
$viewfields.Add("Created")
$viewfields.Add("Modified")
$viewfields.Add("Editor")
[void]$newList.Views.Add(<VIEWNAME>, $viewfields, "", 100, $true, $true)
$newList.Update();
// setting the default view
$view=$newList.Views["<VIEWNAME>"]
$view.DefaultView = $true
$view.Update()
$web.Dispose();
$site.Dispose();
