New event default settings

this has to be an easy one ---
why does a new calendar event start on the :15 of the hour? this always happens when i create an event on the calendar....any way to change that? if not, i'd love to hear the rationale behind that decision!

Greetings,
How are you creating the event? By double clicking or dragging? If you're dragging you might just be off a bit on where you're starting. If you're double clicking you could be just below the line for the hour, which will then go to the next quarter hour.

  • New event - default times

    In month view when I double click on a day to create a new event the timings default to 2300 until 0000. I can't find any way to change these timings - can anyone help?

    Hi Paul, I have the same (or similar) problem.
    If I doubleclick to create an event in month view, depending on the current time of day, iCal will automatically create a time within the current 12-hour time period. If I then try to change the time with that annoying bubble (what ever happened to the beautiful sidebar), it will only allow changes within that current period. I.e. an event created at 10:00 can not be changed to 14:00. Entering "14" would result in the time being set to "04" in the morning. If I wait until after noon, then the times can be changed for the time period from noon to midnight only. This is really annoying. As a workaround, I can open the created event in day view and drag the event to the desired time. But this is not what I expect from Apple as useability.
    Anyone has similar experiences to Paul and me?

  • New file default settings???

    Hi Guys, how do I change the default settings so it's always the same when I open a new file? For Instance, I'm trying to set the sample rate to 44.1k so that everytime I open a new file it defaults to that sample everytime. It was set to that sample rate originally then someone went and changed it inadvertantly. Now I should be able to change it back with out loading the CD and clicking on the repair to restore the default. Somebody changed the default to 48k so it should be changed back to 44.1. I just can't find in the book where it talks about that, nor can I find it by clicking around on all the controls. FYI we are a radio station and Audition 3 is our main audio work station. There are many hands who come in and produce commercials and sound bites for various reasons. None of whom are fluent in Audition, so they know just the basics and when they try to do something beyond that they usually screw it up and it causes problems for other people. I called the tech support line but I think the group of people in India who answer the phones don't actually use the software but recite what the book says as their answer.

  • New Event Default: 12AM

    Hello! I was wondering if there was a way to change the default start time for a new event? For some reason it seems only recent my default time has been 12AM. I wasn't sure if this had to do with MobileMe, but I checked and there is not an obvious option there either. I have the "Start" of my day set to 8am, I would think if I were to schedule something it would default to that.

    juliefit,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The default start time is not user selectable, but it should not be 12AM. Default start time should be the next hour closest to the current time, i.e. if the current time is between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM the default time should be 3:00 PM.
    If your system is not working that way you may want to try refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.
    You may also want to check System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>and Set/Reset your "Region:"

  • Change "new event" default name in FinalCut x

    This Question is regading Final Cut Pro x (version 231027) or any of the X versions.
    Hello, this might be a minor issue but still annoying. Regading create "new event": Here in Scandinavia for ex. we seldom use the "month-day-year" set up to describe the dates, would it possible to change that behaviour to ex. "year-month-day" or any other custom tag with dates? It´s not much to ask for..
    Best regads, Tobias.

    Hey imagoproduktion
    Change it in System Preferences in Language & Text in the Region tab; from there it should trickle down to the apps to give the right format for you.

  • News iview default settings

    Hi all
    i have messed up my NewsBrowser layout set
    can someone send me the values
    why do i get a different layout as  Superuser role & Eu_role?
    Prasad B

    Hi Prasad,
    if it's only within NewsBrowser, these are the default values (at least on EP6 SP2):
    Description: Layout set for news browser (read-only mode)
    Enabled for presentation settings: activated
    Layout Controller: SimpleLayoutController
    Collection Renderer: NewsDisplayCollectionRenderer
    Resource Renderer: NewsResourceDisplayRenderer
    Commands for the details menu: DetailsGroup
    If you have also messed up underlying configurations (Renderer, Controller, Group), I could send you an export of the default values to be imported at your site (provided you have got at least SP2 P4 HF ??, where you have got an Import button under the Layout Set overview.
    Hope it helps

  • How do i create a new event in a different time zone in iCal ios7?

    Several settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars affect Calendar and your calendar accounts. These include:
    Syncing of past events (future events are always synced)
    Alert tone played for new meeting invitations
    Default calendar for new events
    Default time for alerts
    Calendar time zone support, to show dates and times using a different time zone

  • How do I change the default settings for new calendar events?

    So I am relatively new to Mac. I've been using iCal in conjunction with iCloud/iPhone heavily and one thing that I found really annoying is that by default, every new event that I make has two alerts already set. One message and one email message. It's really frustrating to have to go and set both alerts to "None" everytime I make a new event. I primarily use the calendar on my iCloud-synced iPhone to view and keep track of events and the Mac to actually create the events so there's no reason for me to need alerts on the computer. Is there any way to change the preferences so that there is no default alert?

    Look in the menubar, iCal > preferences > General tab > uncheck "Add a defult alert...."

  • Can I choose the default calendar for new events?

    I have multiple calendars in iCal. When I create a new event on the iPod, it always defaults to the same calendar, but it's a less frequently used calendar so that's rarely the one I want. Is there a way to set the default calendar to my most frequently used calendar so I'm not having to change to a different one on a regular basis?

    On the iPod you can select the default calender: Settings>Mail..>Calenders (Scroll to bottom of the Mail... screen).

  • How can you change the default setting for the alarm for new events?

    When I create a new Event, it will create an alarm that will activate 15 minutes before the event. I'd like to change the settings so the default setting would be that when I create a new event it will activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this? Thanks.

    Greetings, David.
    alarm...activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this?
    Sure.
    _Go to iCal > Preferences > General >"Add a default alarm to all new events and invitations"
    _Change the current value from 15 minutes to whatever minute value you like (1440 for 24 hours).
    _Of course this will only affect NEW events. Not those already created.
    _Close the window and your done.
    Hope that helps.

  • Selecting Default Calendar for New Events

    Is there a way to select one of my iCal calendars to be the default when creating new events? I use one of my calendars every day using my iPhone at work for work events, and keep creating new events to the wrong calendar (which is currently set as my default)! It is very frustrating, as once the event is created, I can't change the associated calendar until I get home and can do it from my desktop.
    Thanks!!

    Tod,
    On your iPhone select: Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Default Calendar>Choose.

  • How do I change: when I double click on a day to add a new event it defaults to All Day and Busy

    iCal 5.0.2 (1571) Is there any way to change this? I can't do it in preferences.
    This is a real pain. To make an event for a specific time I have to double click again, uncheck "All Day" and then put in the time for the start of the event. Even then, if I put in the start time, the end time remains at 6:30 PM, so I have to change that too.
    If I really do want an All Day event, why does it sometimes default to Busy, rather than always to Free?
    The old iCal was far superior in this regard; double click once on a day and the add an event dialogue box appears, defaulting to a time close to when you were making the event, and, if my memory serves correct observing the preference I set with respect to default length of the event.
    I'm aware that Command N gets me a new Quick Event, its a bit better in that if the event i enter opens the big "add an event dialogue box", it has defaulted to an hour long event. But, if I click on a day, and then hit Command N, the new event is put in Today, and not the day I had selected. It also defaults to All Day, unless I put in a time for the event in the Quick Event box.  Why would I do that when I know I want to enter info into a number of fields, and doing so is easiest from the big dialogue box. If i don't enter a time in Quick Event, or enter a day, I still have to double click the event that was created by Quick Event to open the big dialogue box, and start fresh entering everything.  So, I find Quick Event's implimentation cumbersome, overall ending up with more keystrokes and clicks to enter the details I normally enter, than the old iCal.
    So, if someone knows how to change the double click behaviour back to the old way, or how to get Quick Event to open the dialogue box on the day i have already selected, any help will be appreciated.
    Also, is there some way to get this feedback to Apple? Support SiteMap doesn't show a link for feedback.
    Thanks
    Ian

    I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
    I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
    And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
    All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
    Command N
    I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

  • ICal Lion is infuriating. How can I add a new event in a chosen calendar without having to create it in my default then edit it?

    iCal Lion is infuriating. How can I add a new event in a chosen calendar without having to create it in my default then edit it?

    We are all entitled to our own opinions. So I respect you there brother
    But then again, Apple has its own basis. iOS is what's selling like pancakes not Macs, so if the gazillions out there are using iOS device and have gotten used to the calendar in their iOS devices. Wouldn't you think it made sense if Lion has the same calendar look and feel?
    Everything was considered and weighthed when they developed Lion. They even mentioned it in the press, They were blown away with the success of iOS so they are extending it to OSX.
    Quite frankly, I like the old iCal but yeah I don't expect anything in SL to stay in Lion otherwise it'll be another Cat name related to Leopard
    People should start looking at this perspective and not get STUCK in the old OS.

  • Is it possible to create a new tab in 'Default settings for items' option?

    Hi everybody
    I am Raghu working in EBP2.0 & I have come across a difficlty and that is of creating a new tab and also the fields 'GL a/c', 'cost centre' or 'internal order' in this new tab.
    First of all please let me know whether is it possible to create a new tab for these fields.
    The purpose of this new tab is to default the cost centre and GL account with reference to shopping cart.
    As per current scenario, user has to enter the cost centre & the GL code as many times as the number of items in a shopping cart. I mean, if you have 10 items in your shopping cart then 10 times user has to input the cost centre & GL account. To avoid this we are required to add new tab so that per shopping cart we can enter the GL account & cost centre only once.
    Your immediate response would be very much apprecited.
    Regards
    Raghu

    hi Ram & Sreenivas
    Thanks for your immediate response.
    Ram, we can default GL a/c & cost centre in org structure since client wants to us to keep the option of entering these for every shopping cart.
    Sreenivas, I checked the 'copy to clipboard' option & its not there in EBP2 and I feel what you meant as cost centre tab is account assignment tab.
    Let me explain you more clearly about this requirement.
    Current Scenario
    1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
    2.User has to enter cost centre & GL code 5 times & then he can order
    Required scenrio
    1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
    2.As per the proposed functionality, user will click on 'Default settings for items' button. Three tabs will appear-->Basic data, Internal note & Delivery Address.
    We have to provide a new tab here where in user will default his GL & cost centre for this shopping cart & then order. This will help user to avoid entering GL & cost centre 5 times.
    For some reasons our client is not interested in defaulting this data.
    Please help in this regard if time permits.
    Thanks
    Raghu

  • How can I make new iCal events default to 1 hour long?

    Please help me love my iCal again.  How can I set it up so that the default for a new event is an hour long instead of EIGHT?!?  Why on earth does iCal think a new event should be eight hours long?  It's especially annoying at night.  Add a new event at 9PM and iCal sets an end for 5AM and rolls it into the next day, which means I have to change the end time and change the end date every time I add a new event.
    Seriously, who designed this thing?  Here's a perfect example of bad design (which, coming from Apple is shocking!): In the menu, click New Event.  Does iCal create a new event?  No.  It draws a box arrow pointing to the big plus sign.  Are we sure Microsoft didn't design this thing?
    I'm a diehard Mac Guy for over 17 years.  But I must say, I'm disappointed with some aspects of Lion.  Yikes.  (sorry...  I needed to vent!)

    I probably should have noted that I'm using iCal in the month view.  Maybe that's why my iCal thinks every new event is eight hours long?  The previous iCal didn't behave this way.
    And, yes, a menu item titled New Event that opens a box where I can create a new event rather than actually creating a New Event is bad design.  It adds extra steps.  It feels like a Microsoft thing where you click on something and then get asked if that's really what you wanted to do.  When I click New Event, I want a new event to open so I can input the details including calenrar, alarm, repeating data, notes, etc.  Sure, if I wanted a quick option, I'd go for the + sign to add one.  But when it comes to having to change calendars or add extra info, making me go through extra steps is poor design.
    There's a lot to like in the new iCal, but pushing the app away from design simplicity for VISUAL simplicity is poor design for a desktop OS app.  On a three inch screen like the iPhone, it makes perfect sense.  It's brilliant, in fact.  But on a desktop OS?  I completely understand the idea of merging iOS with OS X, but a motorcycle is not a tractor trailer even though they both have engines.  To treat them as such is poor design.
    Another example: in iCal, it's easy to hide calendars you may not need to see.  That's a great feature.  In the previous iCal, there was a pane that showed which calendars were visible and which were not.  Now, if you're looking at a month, you have no way of seeing that there may also be more events that are hidden without clicking the calendars for a popup to display which are visible and which are not.  I'm no Mac basher.  I have a series of the black & white "Think Different" prints framed and hanging on my walls.  I love Apple, but the new iCal is poor design.
