Is it possible to set a default Calendar in iCal?

I use a calender that is served by Kerio. I want to set that as the default, so that when I create a new entry (as in Apple-N) it uses the set calendar, and not the first one in the list in iCal, which is a local file. I cannot delete the local ical files, as they contain loads of data from before we started using Kerio, and the Kerio calendar cannot be shifted to the top of the cal list, so as to be selected as default it seems!
If it is a question of moving all the local data to the server cal file and then deleting the local file(s) so that the desired calendar is at the top of the list, is there a bulk way of doing this? I have years of old data, so doing it item by item is not viable!

Hi,
If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.
Best wishes

    I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
    On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
    I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
    I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

  • How do you set the default calendar in iCal

    I have 6 different calendar. I want a certain one to be the default calendar in iCal but cannot figure out how to make it happen.

    Andrew,
    The most you can do to the calendar you want to be 'default or so say' is to drag it to the top of the list in iCal. What that will do is if you get an invitation in Mail it will add it to that top calendar.
    If you mean you want to be able to choose were your Notes and To Do's goto? Go to while in mail (Mail)/(Preferences)/(Composing)/ and in the (Create Notes & To Do's in:) select (On My Mac). Now you will have an option of what calendar you want to use when you make the Note/To Do.
    Other then that you have to select the Calendar you want as default.
    Hope that helps,
    Weston

  • Setting the default calendar within iCal

    When I click on an appointment within an Email, it is added to iCal as expected. However, I would like to have appointments imported to a specific calendar within iCal by default. How do I do that?

    sevenpercentsolution,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Click on an eligible event to display a contextual menu, and select "Create New iCal Event..." Then choose the appropriate calendar in the "calendar" field of the "New Event" window. This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but it is as close as you will get to setting a default addition.
    If you right click on the eligible entry there will be additional contextual menu choices which may or may not be useful.

  • Possible to set a default column value to an expression?

    Is it possible to set a default column name to an expression when creating a table?
    For example, I wish to set the default value of a column to read from another table's column and do some arithmetic....is this possible?
    Thanks.

    Yes, you can, with trigger Before Insert for Each row
    But be carefull, you can hit the mutating table problem...

  • Is it possible to set a default music player for the music on my external hard drive while still keeping my iTunes the default player on my Mac ?

    Is it possible to set a default music player for the music on my external while still keeping my iTunes the default player on my Mac ?
    Message was edited by: Pellseidon

    There is no setting in the iPhone to set another default music player. The default is Music. If you are using another application, you are at the mercy of how that application operates as far as what occurs when it stops or errors out. The car is looking for music to play.

  • Set a Default Calendar for New Appointments in iCal?

    I never found a post with a sufficient answer to this question. However, it seems as though I may have stumbled on a resolution myself.
    iCal has it's own default calendars: Home and Work. I use MobileMe so the MoblieMe calendar is listed there as well. I also have an iPhone 4. I wanted all calendars to syncronize automatically when I create a new appointment on any of the 3 locations (laptop, cloud, or phone). I found that when create a new event in iCal on my macbook pro, it wouldn't update with mobileme or my phone. This was because when I double click to create a new event, iCal automatically puts the new event into my "Home" calendar, even though it was unchecked and not highlighted. As soon as I double click to create the new event, iCal's default kicks in and the Home calendar in the "On My Mac" section suddenly becomes checked and highlighted all by itself and the new event is automatically placed there, never to be updated with the cloud or on my phone.
    I think the problem may be related to something I read under "How Do I Set a Default Calendar for New Appointments in iCal?" There a solution given was that the uppermost calendar was being defaulted to and it was suggested to drag the desired calendar to the uppermost position. None of my calendars would drag anywhere. However, I find that if I uncheck Home and Work in the column on the left under "On My Mac" AND then click the arrow so those two calendars are hidden (very important), and then check and highlight the only showing calendar: MobileMe, that (so far) when I doulbe click to create a new event, a new event is created in the MobileMe calendar, and Home and/or Work under the "On My Mac" section never becomes checked or highlighted. So the new event is created only in the MobileMe calendar listed and updates on my laptop, in the cloud, and on my phone.
    So far that has been my experience; but, it has been only minutes since I tried that, so let's see what happens after a couple of weeks or so of normal use and see if the problem is actually resolved.

    I have been searching for this information for weeks now -- thank you!
    This works for Google Calendar as well as for Mobile Me. I'm going to type a little more information here to see if I can help this answer come up more quickly for other users when they keyword search as I was doing.
    This answer helped me reset and change the default calendar for iCal. I can now set my Google Calendar as the default calendar in iCal. When I create a new event in iCal, it syncs to Google Calendar as the default calendar without having to choose another calendar. All my iCal new events now go directly to Google Calendar and sync to my iPhone and iPad. I couldn't move the gmail google calendar to the top position, and just unchecking Home and Work didn't change where new events defaulted. Now my new events automatically go from iCal to google calendar, and I don't lose track of any events. I think you can set any calendar as the default iCal calendar for new events using this approach.

  • Why can't I set a default calendar on my iPad?

    On my iPhone, I can set a default calendar under the "Mail..." utility option, but this is NOT an option on my iPad. Is this just an oversight on Apple's part or am I overlooking the setting elsewhere on my iPad?

    I see the setting in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Calendars, at the bottom of the page.

  • Is it possible to set the default colours in the swatches palette in Illustrator CS4?

    Is it possible to set the default colours in the swatches palette in Illustrator CS4? What I mean is replace the swatches default colour palette with my own, so that each time I create a new document it comes up with my colours rather than Illustrators.

    You might also consider using color groups with Illustrator. Let me know what you think. It may help you out with projects that use the same color preferences.

  • How do I set a default calendar when adding new events on iCal?

    When I add events from either my macbook pro or my iphone using ical there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to whether these events are added to either my "work" or "home" calendar. I would like to have all events added by default to one or the other calendar. Anyone know how to set a specific calendar as the default regardless of through which device I add events?

    webco,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The iCal desktop calendar has no such preference. Default entry is dependent upon first selecting the appropriate calendar in the "CALENDARS" pane.
    The iPhone default calendar is available by selecting Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Calendars>Default Calendar.

  • How Do I Set a Default Calendar for New Appointments in iCal?

    I have two calendars in iCal. How can I set one to be the default when I create new appointments?

    I have the same problem. I have an "Automator" calendar listed under "On My Mac" and my personal calendar listed under "Google Calendar"
    I want New Events to default to my personal calendar under "Google Calendars" but the "Automator" calendar is first in the list and I am not able to reorder them (tried drag and drop and renaming etc). And, since I have automator scripts running frequently the Automator calendar is usually the last calendar 'used.'
    I cannot find any way to set my personal calendar under "Google Calendars" to be the default for New Events....am I missing something here?

  • Setting a default calendar for new events

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded my Mobile Me account in respects to the Calendar.  Now on my Mac I get the option to show Me (On My Mac) & Me ([email protected]).  Currently I have both selected, but this gives me duplicate copies of certain events.  An error I assume from when it transf the calendars to the new Mobile Me Calendar.
    To save on any future duplications, I'd like to set a default Me calendar under which all events are created.  I cannot see how to do this on either my Mac or iPhone 4.  I've read various tips and suggestions, but none seem to work as I suspect they are for older generations iPhone or iPods.
    Can anyone offer any advise?
    Thanks, Gordon

    Gordon,
    Currently I have both selected, but this gives me duplicate copies of certain events.  An error I assume from when it transf the calendars to the new Mobile Me Calendar.
    What you are observing is not an error. The "On My Mac" calendars serve no useful purpose. Make sure that all of your events exist under the "MobileMe" source, archive your "On My Mac" calendars, and then delete them. That will eliminate the duplication that you are experiencing.
    I'd like to set a default Me calendar under which all events are created.  I cannot see how to do this on either my Mac or iPhone 4.
    The first calendar listed in the iCal Calendars source list will be the default calendar. Choose your iPhone default calendar in iPhone>Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>>Calendars>Default Calendar.

  • Is it possible to set a default mfg_organization_id for a responsibility?

    We have a responsibility that only has access to 1 inventory organization as defined by Organization Access. Our users think it is silly that they should have to do a Change Org when there is only one responsibility to choose from. Is there any way to set a default profile value for the mfg_organization_id at the responsibility level?
    thanks,
    Ken

    We do have a partial work-around for the problem I described. We have added the following parameters to the menu function used to get to the run concurrent requests form.
    REQUEST_GROUP_CODE="<our custom request group code>"REQUEST_GROUP_APPL_SHORT_NAME="<out custom application short name>"USE_ORG="Y"
    This causes the mfg_organization_id to be set. But this is only a partial solution since there are other ways of running a concurrent request. For example, View > Requests > Submit a New Request.

  • Is it possible to set a default media player for the iPhone?

    I have a music subscription with another company, therefore all my music is played through their app. When I plug my phone into my car to play music, it always opens iTunes and alerts me there is no music there so I have to open the app and select the music. Which is fine, but when the app stops (for whatever reason), the iTunes (which I'm not sure why they don't call iMusic or something equally silly) tries to play any music I have in iTunes. Is there any way to stop this madness? Thanks!

    There is no setting in the iPhone to set another default music player. The default is Music. If you are using another application, you are at the mercy of how that application operates as far as what occurs when it stops or errors out. The car is looking for music to play.

  • Change default calendar in iCal?

    I have two google calendars which sync properly with iCal. However, the wrong calendar is on top (listed alphabetically). When I enter a new event from iCal, the default is to go to the wrong calendar. How can I switch them, or convince iCal to only add events to the second one?

    In the left sidebar of iCal ensure the calendar you wan to add events to is selected. Unfortunately, you can't rearrange the Google calendars in iCal.
