In iCal (5.0.2) why is it set to default a new event to ALL DAY? How can you change it?

Seriously drives me crazy.

  • How do I get iCal to stop defaulting new events to all day?

    Just updated to Lion.   Overall everything is working well.  However, I can't stand some of the things the new iCal is doing.
    By default it is defaulting new events to all-day (Rather than setting a time like it did before).  Is there anyway to change this back?

    This was discussed endlessly right after Lion came out.
    Short answer: I don't think you can change this behavior in month view.
    However: When you type an event, e.g., "Meet with TIm Cook for lunch, 1 pm", iCal is smart enough to set the time (at 1 pm in this example).

  • ICal in OS X Lion default on new entries is 'all day'.  How can I change that default?

    The OS X Lion default on new iCal entries is 'all day'.  How can I change that default?  It seems odd that the default would be 'all day' when most entries are for meetings lasting less than 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.

  • Why is ical automatically setting new events as "all day" events in Lion

    After upgrading to Lion, everytime I add a new event in the Month panel it automatically selects the "all day" checkbox.  It didn't used to do this and it's kind of annoying....anybody else?

    Gustlock,
    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."
    So, in your case try entering "Meeting at 9am"...that will create a one hour event named Meeting.
    Lion iCal data detectors are supposed to make entry easier??

  • 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!

  • Why is the Thunderbird main screen message list text so small - and how can I change it

    I see lots and lots of complaints but NO suitable answer! Most answers don't even answer the question but instead tell how to increase MESSAGE font size - not the main screen "message list". Suggestions to change screen resolution are common but are ludicrous. One would have to change resolution every time they went in or out of Thunderbird! CTRL+ is also suggested but does not work on the message list. Creating and inserting CSS into the profile is a ridiculous suggestion for most users.
    Why is there no user friendly setting provided for text size on this screen?

    Please stay with one thread per issue. Continue In your original thread here.

  • Why does the graph cursor (snap mode) snap to unvisible curves? How can i change that?

    I display several curves in one graph. To get a better overview the user can filter unwanted curves by setting the attibute to unvisible. There is one cursor switched on in the graph with the option "snap to plot". The user can move the cursor and read the coordinates and curvename. Unfortunately the cursor snaps also to the unvisible curves. How can I block that behaviour? The cursor should only jump on the visible curves.

    > with the property Cursor.Plot I can set or get the current plot number
    > of the cursor, but I cannot prevent the user to move the cursor to an
    > unvisible plot. Labview allows the cursor to be moved to a curve witch

    >
    The graph cursors can be locked to a particular plot or set to snap to
    any plot/point on the screen. You cannot see invisible plots, and you
    probably can't see black plots on a black background, but the graph
    intentionally lets you place cursors there and other users wouldn't be
    happy if it changed.
    What we will likely add at some point is a way to truly show and hide a
    plot. In the meantime, you can also just change w
    hat is plotted.
    Hidden plots can be removed, no points, and the cursors will not go there.

  • 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?
    ;~)

    Unfortunately, this is a problem that is driven by the DRM Dictatorship.  Despite the proliferation of mobile devices and the fact that there are many of us who do a lot of international travel, content providers don't want you to have access to their products outside of your homeland.  The Balkanized mentality of the DRM Dictatorship is way out of touch with the modern world.
    At least Apple, to its credit, allows you to use your accounts outside of your homeland as long as you have the proper credentials for them.  Most other services use the more Draconian geolocation filtering which does require you to be physically present in your homeland.  For the most part, you are not allowed to leave home if you want access to your favorite entertainment!

  • How do you change the color of events on ICal.

    How do you changed the color of events on ICal? I was able to do this when I utilized ICal on the Snow Leopard system but can no longer do this with Lion.
    I know that I can select the Calanders list, but when I create a new "Calander" it doesn't allow me to choose a color and it doesn't show up in my list when working within an event.
    Thanks!

    Phoebe,
    Right-click on the new calendar and select "Get Info."
    Make sure that the ✓ mark is selected.
    Then choose the color from this pane:

  • Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Why has iTunes seperated a album into indevidual songs, which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.
