ICal setting default message alarm for all events

I want to change when I get message/alarms for all events (birthdays, etc.) from 2 days before to 4 days before. I find that I can only change this for single events (e.g., a specific person's birthday rather than all persons' birthdays). Is there a way to change the default so that I get my warning alarm message for all events 4 days in advance instead of 2 days?

I miss appointments b/c of this too.
And no, Apple does not read these forums UNLESS you comment on how pathetic and Mickey Mouse certain elements of their software is - like no 'default' setting for alarms in iCal, and not being able to resize windows from all edges (vs. the little annoying corner) etc etc.
I hope they fix it with the new software package in Leopard. I'm somewhat afraid it's going to be 'Leper' at first though. We'll see...

  • How to change default action "alarm" for all signatures ?

    My question belongs to a Cisco 1712 (128 MB, IOS 12.3T, SDM 2.5 installed):
    I'm trying to change the default action "alarm" to "alarm,reset,drop" for all signatures of my custom set.
    However doing so via SDM fails. First, it appears as being done correctly, but after compiling the signatures again, the default values are back there (in the same sense, I was unable to delete signatures, works just using the CLI).
    I followed the instructions at cisco.com:
    router(config)#ip ips signature-definition
    router(config-sigdef)#signature 6130 10
    router(config-sigdef-sig)#engine
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action produce-alert
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action deny-packet-inline
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action reset-tcp-connection
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#exit
    However ip ips signature-definition is not understood by the router, so the procedure fails.
    Can you please assist me ?

    You can use IOS command-line interface (CLI) to change signature actions for one signature or a group of signatures based on signature categories. The following example shows how to change signature action to alert, drop and reset for signature 6130 with subsig ID of 10.
    router#configure terminal
    Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
    router(config)#ip ips signature-definition
    router(config-sigdef)#signature 6130 10
    router(config-sigdef-sig)#engine
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action produce-alert
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action deny-packet-inline
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#event-action reset-tcp-connection
    router(config-sigdef-sig-engine)#exit
    router(config-sigdef-sig)#exit
    router(config-sigdef)#exit
    Do you want to accept these changes? [confirm]y

  • How can I set default toolbar layout for all users in my system?

    Hi everybody! I am running a local ubuntu server at my office. I can set some defaults preferences (about:config) for all new users in the system by defining those prefs in the /etc/firefox/syspref.js.
    Now, I want to define default toolbar layout in a similar way (maybe not needed but fun), to copy the toolbar layout for my user. Is there a general way to do that?
    thank you in advance!

    You can try to create a default template folder (defaults/profile) in the Firefox and place the file(s) in that folder for newly created profile.
    The only way to customize an existing profile is to copy files directly to it.

  • Setting default printing presets for all users, esp. guest user

    i want to set black/white, two sided printing as the default for all users (9 macs, 30 users on each).
    i set up and save this preset as admin, and copy the files
    com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
    com.apple.print.custompresets.forprinter.nameofprinter.plist
    from admin home/library/preferences to the other users preferences-folders.
    but logging on to any of the other users, i still dont even get the new preset listed.
    i tried entering cups, but there, only the printer setup is editable.
    especially i would like to set the custom preset as default for the guest account, without being wiped every log off.
    is there any alternative way to do this? i dont want to manually log in to the 300 accounts to change this.

    You can do that for new users via a file user.js in the default template folder for new profiles.

  • Set Default Save Location for All Programs

    What I need is a program that will set the default save folder (in all programs) to the same folder the current file came from.
    If I do a "Save As" I want the folder in the Save dialog box to always be the folder the file is in.
    This was brain-dead easy in OS 9 (General Control Panel, Save Location, Folder That is Set by the Application).
    I cannot find a help file, a preference pane, an add-on program, anything to allow this.
    If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it.

  • How to set default sort order for all folders/albums/etc

    This is driving me nuts, having to change the sort order from manual to file name every time I change projects or folders (and I have a lot of both). Is there a way to set the default to just sort by file name ascending? Or sort by timestamp (that's date + time, not just date)?

    I am in process of doing some rearrangement to make Projects as the main box (the file drawer) with headings like: iPhone, Assignments, Events, Landscape, People, Travel. Then, a specific folder under the project. Then, an Album under the Folder.
    This should be started as a new thread -- do so if you have any questions.
    Strongly recommend using Projects as intended (see comments by Frank and DLSCreative in current thread ^1^ and long comment by me in another thread ^2^ ). In your case that would mean Folders with the headings you've selected, the (most likely) Projects, then Albums (and perhaps more Folders).

  • How to configure default parental settings for all users (10.7)?

    Hello,
    I've made a silent installation of iTunes using MSI files and it works well.
    I need to enable parental controls and configure it. Users must be preventing of changing these settings.
    At the end of the iTunes installation I automatically created registry keys :
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls]
    "AdminFlags"=dword:001b7ac5
    "AdminMoviesLimit"=dword:000000c8
    "AdminTVShowsLimit"=dword:000001f4
    "AdminRatingSystemID"=dword:0000000b
    "AdminGamesLimit"=dword:0000012c
    According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2102 it is the procedure to set default parental settings for all users and to lock these settings.
    When iTunes is first launched, parental settings are not set nor locked.
    I use iTunes 64 bits on Windows 7 64 bits.
    Where is the mistake?
    Thanks in advance.

  • No Email Alarm for All-Day Events

    Hello, Everyone,
    I've got a desktop and a laptop, and I've been syncing the iCal calendars on each for some time. However, this has resulted in one annoying thing - whenever an event comes up in iCal that I'd set an email alarm for, I would receive multiple alarms, one from each machine.
    I thought I'd solve this problem by moving the calendars to my server (a headless Mini running 10.4.6 Server), and thus only get one email alarm. However, since I moved it, I'm getting no alarms.
    I've run some tests, and confirmed that if I set up a test event at a specific time, I will get an email alarm for it. However, if the event is set up to be an all-day event, no alarm.
    I've restarted the server, I've made sure the iCalScheduler is running...these calendars have worked for years, and now I'm perplexed. Any thoughts?
    Cheers,
    Martin

    Well, I couldn't figure this one out, so I just moved the calendars back to my main machine, and published them to the web for sharing with my laptop. On my main machine they worked fine.
    Can't figure out why it wouldn't work on the server. Maybe it'll change with Leopard's iCal server.

  • Search iCal for all events in a specific calendar?

    Is it possible to search for all events that I have listed in a specific calendar? For example, I have one set up as "guests" and would like to see a list of all the events I have under that. I tried doing an ical search for guests, but nothing came up, as that's only the calendar's title.
    Thank you.

    I thought I was the only klutz who seemed to remember I used to be able to do this, but couldn't figure it out now. This is the second key feature for me (the other being the event info drawer) that's been dropped in iCal 3.0. I'm not sure if the development team is just basically misguided, or if Apple's excuse in the summer about putting off Leopard because programming talents were stretched too thin was, and still is, exactly what's happening.
    So disappointing.

  • How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

    I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
    Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
    Best regards
    Jonas

    In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
    ) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
    See:
    *http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
    You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

    Is there a way to get an alarm for my events for the iCal on the iPhone 4?

    Greetings,
    See page 113 of the iPhone 4 user manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    When you add an event to the Calendar.app of the iPhone 4 there is an "Alert" option which should give you the desired result.

  • 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.

  • How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

    How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

    John,
    Thanks for that suggestion - could not get it to work. However, I did manage a different approach. I finally determined the sequence of events in terms of how the various events and listeners fire (I think).
    Basically, the CalendarActivityListener fires, followed by the listener associated with the Calendar object's Create facet, followed finally by the CalendarEventListener - the final is where the TriggerEvent is available and then finally, control is passed to the popup/dialog in the Create facet. So, my approach of trying to set/get the TriggerDate in the user's HTTP session was doomed to failure because it was being get before it had been set :(
    Anyway, I ended up adding a bit of code to the CalendarEvent listener - it grabs the current BindingContext, navigates through the DCBindingContainer to derive an Iterator for the ViewObject which drives the calendar and then grabs the currently active row. I then do a few tests to make sure we're working with a "new" row because I don't want to alter start & end dates associated with an existing calendar entry and then I define the Start and End dates to be the Trigger Date.
    Works just fine. Snippet from the listener follows
    BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();+
    *if ( bindingContext != null )    {*+
    DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer) bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();+
    DCIteratorBinding iterator = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("EventsView1Iterator");+
    Row currentRow = iterator.getCurrentRow();+
    if ( currentRow.getAttribute("StartDate") == null)+
    currentRow.setAttribute("StartDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
    if (currentRow.getAttribute("EndDate")==null)+
    currentRow.setAttribute("EndDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
    *}*
