Is there a way to change default Reminder List for new Reminders?

In iCal, I have Reminders showing.  I have three Reminder Lists, but I've only got one List checked so only that List's Reminders show up.  When I create a new Reminder, iCal always wants to create it in one of the unchecked Lists - always the same List, but not the one currently showing.  I always have to finish creating the new Reminder, and then change it to be part of the other Reminder List.  And, because iCal insists on creating the new Reminder in one of the unchecked (non-displayed) Lists, it checks the box for me so now I have to go an uncheck it again to restore the display of only one List.
Am I doing something wrong or is iCal Reminder creation just this clunky?
Is there some way to tell iCal to use a particular Reminder List for creating new Reminders in?

Duh.  Found it right on the General tab of iCal's Preferences.
I really don't know how I missed that.

  • IS THERE A WAY TO CHANGE THE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS FOR REMINDERS?

    IS THERE A WAY TO CHANGE THE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS FOR REMINDERS?

    Yes you can, in the sense that this is an "Alert" sound you've set for the whole Mac software, and of course this is set in System Preferences > Sounds > Sound Effects. This will change the "alert sound" for the whole Mac.
    So, No, you can't change only this particular Alert sound. If you could, it would be done in System Preferences > Notifications, and your only option there is whether you want the sound or not (Chkbox on "Play sound when receiving Notifications")

    Is there a way to change the alert tone for the find my iphone app? The one they use from the factory is terrible! I tried it out and could hardly hear it from 5 feet away!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, so far as I am aware you cannot change this tone. I must admit I don't fully understand your problem, I've tried it myself and can hear it from some distance away.

  • Is there a way to make default keyboard languages for specific contacts... Like for my mum in Spanish and for my buddies in English?

    Is there a way to make default keyboard languages for specific contacts... Like for my mum whom I send messages in Spanish to and for my buddies who speak English.

    I think you cannot set default value with something that is not on the list.
    try to do it differently, leave the 3 option and set the default value to New.
    then, edit the "newform.aspx" and hide the field, with jQuery
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $("select[title='fieldName']").closest("tr").hide();
    then, edit the "editform.aspx" and remove the "New" option from the drop down with javascript
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $("select[title='fieldName'] option[value='New']").remove();
    hmmm welcome to SharePoint :)

    If your email provider supports Push email, then you will get audible email notifications automatically. Otherwise, email is only checked when you open the email app.
    If you have Fetch New Data set to automatically check every 15, 30, or 60 minutes then you will also get the tone when the system checks for mail and finds mail available.  If you set Fetch New Data to Manually then you will only get the email checked when you open the Mail app.

  • Is there any way to change default background from bmp in Captivate 7 recordings?

    Any time I make a recording, be it demo, training etc it always saves the captured background as a bmp in the library.
    I can manually export, edit, then reimport each of the files as jpgs, which looses no quality but reduces the size of the published file by about 50%, and the project file itself by about 80%.
    Is there a way to change the default capture mode to save me this massive chore each time I record a project? or some other way around it?

    I have noticed this too, i.e. the captured background is BMP, and the capture images are PNG. For example, my command line terminal window backgrounds are 4070.57K versus about 32K to 65K when I convert them to PNG files. Our demonstration files can be enormous because of the BMP backgrounds. It would definitely be advantageous to have a recording setting for PNG versus BMP for the backgrounds in Captivate.

    Wow, one interface change in iCal and you Mac world falls apart? I have not even noticed the change to it over the other great features included in Lion. Not a hiccup, increased stability and speed on all my Macs, Loving Mission Control, iCloud is a great selling point and Mountain Lion, due out later in the year will yet again change the face of Computing forever. Windows is following along the same path, struggling to keep up (yes I run Windows as well - trecherous isn't it!), but yet we are all doomed because a handful of people don't like the leather bound look of Address Book which will probably change again in ML if a hack isn't written in the meantime. Petty arguement here. Just give feedback to Apple, I am sure it is on the top of their agenda.

  • Is there a way to change the trackpad gesture for "show desktop?"

    I find the "spread with thumb and three fingers" gesture kind of cumbersome. Is there a way to change it in system preferences to something else?

    Just FYI, someone on another topic suggests spreading all 5 fingers at once to reveal the desktop and I, personally, find this FAR more effective (I couldn't do the 3 fingers + thumb either).
    They also said you could use use fn+11 and that seems to work too.

  • Is there a way to change the font color for emailing and the signature?

    Is there a way to change the font color with email signature on the iPhone and iPad?
    I changed the color in Word on my laptop, emailed and copied to my signature, but it converts it back to black........

    Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem.  Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work.  You can turn on "Zoom".

  • Is there a way to change default background colour?

    Hi,
    I am frequently embedding U3D files into adobe acrobat and every time I need to manually change the "default" background colour from grey to white in the Show Advanced Options tab of the insert 3D dialog box.
    Is there a way to permanently set the default background for all inserted 3D files to white instead of the grey default?
    Thanks!

    No.

  • Is there a way to change the snooze interval for reminders?

    I've dug around in the preference and looked online, but I can't see a way to change how often it reminds you about an alert if you hit snooze.  I liked having the option to delay things by an hour or a day like I could for alerts in Lion.  Thanks!

    This is a major loss of functionality that seriously, and negatively, impacts my Mac experience. I'll have to look for a 3rd party calendar app now and hope there's one that has it.
    I can't understand what the designers think they gain by subtracting such useful functionality. Perhaps some users were confused by it, but that seems unlikely -- it certainly wasn't difficult to understand.

  • Is there a way to change the start day for the week?

    So I really like the "Insert Categories from the following" functionality of the Reorganize tool, and I fell in love with it's ability to break down by date automagically. I've encountered one problem with my use of it, though: I start my "work week" on Sunday, and it defaults to Monday as the first day of a week without any seeming way to change it to Sunday. Is there a way to do this?

    Hi Christopher,
    The WEEKDAY function allows specifying either Sunday or Monday as the first day of the week:
    WEEKDAY
    The WEEKDAY function returns a number that is the day of the week for a given date. WEEKDAY(date, first-day)
      date:  The date the function should use. date is a date/time value. The time portion is ignored by this function.
      first-day: An optional value that specifies how days are numbered.
    Sunday is 1 (1 or omitted):  Sunday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Saturday is day 7.
    Monday is 1 (2):  Monday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Sunday is day 7. Monday is 0 (3):  Monday is the first day (day 0) of the week and Sunday is day 6.
    But I think you are referring to the first day of the 'workweek', for which I do not see a means of defining a custom value.
    Since you want to 'insert categories', though, you could easily define your own, using WEEKDAY(date) or WEEKDAY(date,1), plus an IF statement to return the category label appropriate to the day. Here's one for a Sunday to Thursday work week. Dates are in column A, the formula is in whichever column you want as the Category column. For the example, I've placed it in column B.
    B2, and filled down: =IF(WEEKDAY(A)<6,"Work","Off")
    The top table shows the weekday numbers returned for each day of the week for each of the three permitted values for the optional second argument. The bottom table shows the results from the formula above, used to define a category label for each date:
    A10 was left blank intentionally, to determine if the lack of data resulted in an error. The Warning message, flagged by the blue 'warning' triangle, is "The formula uses a number in place of a date." The 'date' assigned to this numerical value of zero was a Friday, but I'm not certain when. Probably best to avoid extra rows with no date shown.

  • Is there a way to change the i of for loop

    Hello,
    A Labview question. A tusk should be repeat 10 times in a for loop. so the value of i in the for loop will be changed from 0 to 9. Sometimes, some tusks may repeat one extra time. It there a way to let me change the value of i in the for loop?
    Thanks a lot
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    the i terminal will always output the iteration number (0 through 9 in your case).  But there's nothing that says you can't perform some weird math or use case structure with it.
