Ical skin change

I have tried a couple of methods to change the iCal and Contacts skins in the Macbookpro Retina and neither of them have worked. Lion Tweaks, god bless his little Norwegien cotton socks, doesn't mention it doesn't work with the Ret, and Simple Change is the same. I'm not savvy enough to mess around with Terminal but if anyone hear's anything let me know. Ta.

Hi there,
I hade the same problem on my MacBook Pro with Retina display, MAC OSX 10.7.4. Whant you need to do is run iCal and Addressbook in "low resolution" mode in order to apply the changes.
Here's how to do that  (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5266):
Quit the application if it is currently open.
In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
In the Applications folder that opens, click the application's icon (e.g. iCal) so it is highlighted.
Choose Get Info from the File menu.
Place a checkmark next to "Open in Low Resolution" to enable Low Resolution mode.
   6. Close the window and double click the iCal icon in Applications to reopen iCal.
Hope this helps.

    Oh lord, can I change those gawd-awful AddressBook and iCal skins?!

    I suspect this is only the beginning of the convergence of OSX and iOS, at some point down the track they will probably become one ...
    I'm not a fan of LaunchPad myself and after trying to make it work for me several times have now removed it from the Dock as it's a) buggy as heck and b) too much like a giant iPhone interface for a Desktop screen - perhaps it works for a Fisher-Price toy or the Disabled but it's not for me.

  • Does anyone know what to do about iCal colors changing.

    Does anyone know what to do about iCal colors changing.   Ever since ios7 came out I have many problems.  I kind of feel like Apple has become Microsoft at twice the price??  Anyway, today all my calendars (iPhone, iPad, iCloud and on my Mac) all changed colors from the customer colors I had set.  I have about 5 calendars.
    I was able to change them back on my Mac, my iphone and my ipad, but not in iCloud.   Once each of the ones I changed updates / syncs it reverts to the incorrect colors again.  I have tested back and forth, and it is definetly coming out of the iCloud.com.  The web site will not let me chance colors, so once it updates / sync, all my other devices and calendars sync to the purple in iCloud.
    I could go on and on about my frustrations with the apparent lack to testing, and the irony around Microsoft and their "bugs".  It is more important that I find a cure, as this is really annoying.
    Has anyone else seen this today

    Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

  • Why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??

    why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??
    for example, when i am attempting to make a 'all-day' appointment on october 2nd 2011, it automatically shifts it to october 1st.
    but if i am doing a timed appointment for only a few hours, it will allow me to put it on that day.
    i am trying to put in travel dates so any help on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

    alsdman,
    Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
    Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the appropriate "Region."

  • ICal icon changed

    I just noticed last night that the iCal icon changed to Nov 13. But it doesn't have the iCal calender part of the icon behind it, just the text part. I'm guessing this is because it's Friday the 13th. Anyone else noticed this? Or does iCal do this randomly and it's just a coincidence?
    EDIT: Sorry I mean does it do this everyday and I just noticed it now? Or does it only do it for Friday the 13th?

    tommOv,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    ...I mean does it do this everyday and I just noticed it now? Or does it only do it for Friday the 13th?
    I suspect that the association with Friday the 13th is only coincidental.
    Do you have any duplicate fonts? If so, be sure to use the "Resolve Duplicates" menu command.

  • Skin change in the RH 5

    Presently, i am using the Robohelp 5 version. The chm feel and look of this version is very outdated and doesn't give a modern appearance. I have visited other forums, but the commonly used methodology is to create a webhelp with the new skin settings and then convert to chm. But, this facility is not available in this version. Can you suggest any other solutions for this issue.

    Yes, from this version , there is no facility to upgrade to any latest
    version. Also, this documentation has to be delivered along with the
    application build, so irrespective of having access to the web the users
    must be able to read this file.
    Is there any other way to solve this issue?

  • RoboHelp Skin Change

    I am new to RoboHelp. I have lost the lefthand-side corner column from where skin changes can be done. Please help if you know.

    I am presently using Robohelp Version 8.
    My  entire setup has been messed. Any of the items such as Project Manager,  Single Source Layout, Project Set up, The Main Page where to write, are  not appearing. They seem to have been closed down by some mistaken  step. Thus, when I am opening a Robohelp document, the page appears  blank.
    How do I get the original page setup, where there  will be Project Manager at the left hand side, Topic Names in the Middle  and Design and HTML Page (Where I can write) in the right side? There is  nobody in my office who knows Robohelp. So I need help badly.
    I  have installed Robohelp Version 8 and it is not a free version.The  previous documents are also appearing blank. I am really helpless....

  • ICal constantly changes my Calendar order...Why?

    I use my ical extensively to keep track of my daily/weekly "To Do's" which I keep in a specific order so I can prioritise them based on my criteria other than just due date. To achieve this I have ALWAYS been able to keep my custom calendars in a specific order. As an example I have a calendar called Quotes (which should always get done first) I add a "To Do" to this calendar and then once the quote is done it gets moved to another calendar (Jobs).
    For some reason iCal keeps changing the order of MY calendars to what it seems to want. So all my "To Do's end up in a different order. How can I change this VERY annoying problem where I constantly have to manually change the order of my calendars again and again.
    Anyone have the same issues?

    I see this is an old question with no answer. I can't find any answers for this anywhere on the internet. Anyone with any ideas?
    My "all day events" are in order until I go to print. It then reorders them with no apparent rhyme or reason. The printed calander doesn't look good either with the different calendar colors all mixed up. The only way I have found to keep the order is to make them timed events which they are not. ( I get questions like : "why does it say seven o'clock at my name?" )

  • How do I stop iCal from changing the server path of CalDAV accounts?

    I'm using Davical as a calendar server for our family. Some may wonder why I use Davical and not iCloud. I do for one reason...there is no way to disable getting other users' alarms on the iPhone. I want to be able to view my wife's calendar but not get her alarms and have her be able to view my calendar and not get my alarms.
    So, now onto the issue with server path setting changing in iCal. We each have our own calendar set up within our own accounts on our Davical server. We each have read access to the other's calendar. Within iCal account settings I have her account set up on my Mac with my username/password (jason/****) and, under server settings, the server path points to her calendar /caldav.php/juiper/). After a few days, sometimes just a few hours, suddenly I will have duplicate events throughout my calandar in iCal. Going to preferences I will see that the server path for her calendar will have been changed to the location of my calendar (/caldav.php/jason/). I'll correct the server path, restart iCal and then the calander will be correct for a while unitl the server path is automatically and incorrectly changed again and I must manually correct it again.
    Thanks!

    My coworkers and I use DavMail to share access to a shared Exchange calendar, authenticating with our own ADS credentials. We also see the behavior where iCal will reset the CalDav calendar path to the username (our own) that is authenticating to the CalDav service. In Lion this wasn't a deal breaker for us. While very annoying, the work around was simple. Update the path via preferences, and restart iCal. However in Mountain Lion, the issue has become a lot more difficult to fix. It's no longer a matter of updating the path via preferences and restarting.
    In Mountain Lion the solution to change the CalDav path back to the original path requires you to edit the file ~/Library/Calendars/<somehash>.caldav/Info.plist
    Contained within this file is a value "CalendarHomePath", simply update the string to your desired path, clear out the 'Calendar Cache' file for good measure, then restart iCal.

  • How do I stop iCal from changing my gCal events to UTC time zone when entering new events?

    Within the last week, iCal has begun automatically changing the time zone of new events I enter via Calendar on my Google calendar to UTC. It does not do this for items entered on my iCal calendar.
    I enter the date and time (Pacific Time)  and as soon as I add an invittee or click "Done" it changes the time zone to UTC.
    Prefs:
    iCal time zone support is on
    Mac time zone is set automatically (and its correctly finding PDT)
    gCal time zone is also set for Pacific
    Calendar reads 11-1 pm...
    Yes, one solution would be to not use Calendar. Barring that, what do you suggest?

    I was having the same problem and spent some time on the phone with apple today.(new computer is under apple care). Tried a ton of stuff with different folks and ultimately I (well, me and 3 apple specialists) was able to solve this issue.
    Here's the break down:
    1. Quit Mail, Calendar and Messages.
    2. Open: System Preference -> Mail, Contacts & Calendars
    3. Delete all your google accounts (using the little minus button below your account list)
    4. Restart your computer.
    5. Re-add your google accounts. (Obviously, keep the calendar box checked).
    6. Open calendar and wait for your google info to populate.
    7. Attempt to add an event with correct time zone.
    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    Events I created while I was having the problem still had the problem.
    I simply deleted those broken events and recreated them with refreshed settings.
    I've only had this working for a few hours so I'm not certain it will stay working forever.
    But for now it is a relief.
    I realize deleting and re-adding the accounts is annoying but it's a lot less frustrating than seeing UTC every time you add an event.
    Hope that helps everyone else having this problem.

  • How do I stop iCal from changing my appointment times when traveling?

    Once again I missed an important meeting as I had entered it into my iPhone so that event is to start at 10 AM. Last night I flew to this city which is two hours ahead of my town. So what again happened is that iCal just decided to change the time of my appointment to 12 AM.
    Why on earth would iCal asume that I would eneter the event into it in my hometowns time? I mean, when agreeing on the phone with a client, you do not say I'll be there 10 AM my time. You obviously say "ok let us meet at 10 AM".
    So how do I stop this from happening.

  • Why are my assigned iCal colors changing automatically?

    All of my designated calendar colors are changing on their own in my iCal on my iPhone and in iCloud. Anyone know why this is happening? I tried to change back, but keeps reverting to new colors.

    I just had the same problem.  I went to the iCloud to change the colors back, but they would automatically change back.
    Here's what I did:
    1.  Take your calendars offline in iCal
    2.  Export the calendars that change color to the desktop
    3.  Delete the calendars from both the iCloud and iCal
    4.  Create new calenders in iCal making them the color you want
    5.  Import the calendars from the desktop int your new calenders
    6.  Put your Calendars back online to sync with iCloud
    Good luck!

  • Ical - update/changes online?

    Is it possible to make changes to the ical from a pc for example via imac (ie log in and access a published calender)?
    Can those changes then be synced so it is also changed on the main ical?
    Thank you!!

    No, it is not. Published calendars are read-only.
    In about five months, Mac OS X 10.5 will ship with a new CalDAV-compliant version of iCal, with the ability to share editable calendars between users and provide remote updates using iCal, Teams (or other compliant clients) and the iCal Server.
    General information about future iCal features is available here:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/ical.html and

  • HT2513 when i enter the date march 30 in ical it changes to march 29

    When I try to enter an event on March 30, iCal automatically enters March 29th. If I try to change the date in edit, the date reverts to the 29th.
    How can I force iCal to use 30/3 as a date?

    Hi Sam,
    You are posting a reply to a question that is almost two years old. We (and Numbers) have moved on since Sep 4, 2012.
    If you want current advice on Date & Time formatting in the latest version of Numbers (Numbers 3.2) under OS X Mavericks, you can find it under the Function Browser.
