New event edit pane now automatically appears. Due to 10.5.4 update?

I primarily use Month view in iCal, and always have to press CMD+E to edit more info every time I make a new event. Now today I created one and the edit pane automatically came up, and does so every time I make a new event, which I find is so much more user-friendly.
I don't think I did anything for it to do so, so is it something that was in the 10.5.4 update (I updated yesterday)?

Wow. That's very odd then, as I definitely haven't made any adjustments to any options. Indeed, I can't see any option for me to allow this. Anyone else been able to do this?

When I enter an event in iCal, soon thereafter multiple other "New Event" notices (one to four) appear for the same day. If I delete these unwanted "New Event" notices, they later reappear -- sometimes multiplying like rabbits. Any suggestions?

Well, using iMovie to rearrange clips in a mini DV video edited by another program is extremely time consuming. I found a workaround. It still takes time, but it's much faster than rearranging the clips using iMovie.
The workaround is as follows. Bring up Finder and go to the directory where your event's clips are stored (typically ~/Movies/iMovie Events/<name of event>). It helps to setup Finder to be in Cover Flow mode, so you can see the beginning of each clip. Then, sort the files in ascending order by the 'Date Modified' field. This makes Finder sort the files in the same order that they were imported from the mini DV tape. Clips with timecodes have the naming convention "clip-<year>-<month>-<day> hour;minute;second.dv". Clips without timecodes use another naming convention. With the files sorted by "Date Modified" in Finder, rename clips as needed so that the date/time in their file names are in ascending order. Note: when you rename a file, you need to restart iMovie. I suggest not running iMovie while renaming files.
I believe the file date/timestamp is only accurate to the second. Occasionally, there may be a couple of clips that have the same date/timestamp. This may cause the ordering to not be correct. The best way to find these is through iMovie. To modify a file's date/time, right click on the clip in the event in iMovie, and then select "Adjust Clip Date and Time...".
So, this workaround is a lot easier and faster than trying to rearrange things from scratch in iMovie. But it's still time consuming. Creating a project out of an already edited video should take less than 5 minutes (not counting import time), but that's not the case.
I submitted an enhancement request to Apple asking if they can add an option to sort an event's clips in the order that they were imported by iMovie. Those who have the same issue as me, I suggest you submit an enhancement request as well.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks.

New events in iCal are automatically created with an Email alert

How do I change the default alert method?

Thanks Barney. To answer your first idea, these aren't alerts of the "alert me 15 minutes before the start of the event" type. Subscribers can switch those off by selecting "Ignore Alerts" in the calendar's Info pane:
My problem is that email alerts are being raised after any and all activity in my calendar:
If I create an event, subscribers receive an immediate email (like the one below)
If I change the title of an event (i.e. 100% of the time), subscribers receive another an immediate email. This clearly wrong behaviour makes me wonder if we've encountered a bug.
If I edit an event, subscribers receive an immediate email.
If I delete an event, subscribers receive an immediate email.
Secondly, these messages are apparently coming from iCloud. Here's what the subscriber sees when I create an event (I created this without editing the title, hence "New Event"):
I deleted my calendar from my wife's iCal calendar list and added it again. No change. I created a new calendar, and subscribed her to it, no change. Oh, and I am subscribed to her calendar, but I receive no email alerts (which is what we want).
She has an iPhone but I can't find any setting there that demands an email update for all calendar activity.
Finally, I'd add that it hasn't always been like this. These alerts only appeared recently.

When I create a new event, 3 alarms are automatically set. How can I set the default to zero alarms?

What I said above - when I set up a new event three default alarms are set, all for 10 minutes prior to the event. How can I make the default alarm free?
Thanks!
Mark

Hi Mark,
Do you have a default alarm set in iCal's Preferences > General Tab?
Are you syncing via iCloud (if so look here)?
Are you syncing to Google Calendar (if so look here)?
Are you syncing elsewhere?

Update my ipad new to ios7 and now cannot download any app from APP store, update my ipad new to ios7 and now cannot download any app from APP store

even free app when i start to download it s going on loading and the terminate by itself without giving me a notice sometimes also say that cannot connect to the store any advice?

You could try deleting the app which is still installing. If it doens't work, hold power and home button together for more than 15 seconds to reset the phone. Once the phone is restarted, try deleting the app again. Hope this helps.

Can't edit "New Event" when creating new event

When I try to create a New Event, I can't change the name of it from New Event. So now all my newer calendar entries are called "New Event."
How do I fix this?

I have exactly the same problem
Now I have to edit the name of the events direct on MobileMe on line and wait for sync to have it on my computer. Unbelievable!!
By the way, all my calendars have migrated to On-Line Calendars mode but, it seems like on these mode it is not possible to create Calendar Groups so all of them are together now. Unbelievable again!!
I'm wondering if this Ical issue could be related to font issues.
I'm also experiencing some kind of font problems since upgrade to snow leopard.
I had some font conflict issues during system installation.
On first installation I have optioned for deleting conflict fonts.
Then my menus were just erased.
Then, on the second installation, I have optioned to just accept the conflicts.
Now I have the menus back but other issues have been created.
Now the window requesting user and password comes only with the empty boxes but no text at all.
It's still working but just because I already know what to type in the boxes.

How can I create a new event without it automatically being an all-day event?

When I create a new event in iCal, it automatically creates an all-day event. (By create, i mean double-clicking in the month view.) Is there any way to change it back to hourly when you create an event, like in Snow Leopard? Although this is easy to get around, it's just annoying as I rarely create all day events.

I was really frustrated by this change in Lion as I prefer to use the month view and I hate the way it defaults to an all day event. So I was very pleased to find this solution in the Mac OS X Hints. Simply type "Dinner at 6 pm" and it enters "Dinner" at 6 pm for one hour. If you want anything other than an hour, put "6 - 8 pm" (or whatever period you want. Brilliant. Just wish Apple figured out a way to tell me that without having to search the communities here for an answer.
Thanks Ferd II.

My iPhone 4 calendar won't sync to iCloud. If I make a new event on my iCal on my MBP it will sync to iCloud and to my iPhone, but any new events I create on my iPhone will not sync to iCloud. Any potential solutions?

I have tried numerous things like turning off iCloud on both devices and rebooting them and turning iCal on again, checking the settings, checking what calendars are being used but nothing has worked so far. Any other solutions welcome! Hoping I will not have to resort to restoring my iPhone completely.

Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Google calendar, etc. If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your phone to your calendar on icloud.com. Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On. Then add a new event on your phone and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.

How do i stop new event emails being sent?

Hi.
My wife and i share calendars. Everytime i create a new event, edit one or delete one my wife gets an email about it. However when she does the same i don't get anything. Neither of us are bothered about receiving the emails so how do i stop sending them? I've looked thru ical preferences but can't find anything obvious.
Thanks in advance
Si

I got the answer last night while i was in my local Apple store and it's a very easy fix.
Log into icloud
Click calendar
On the left it shows the name of each calendar (home for example) with a little green and white icon that almost looks like a wifi symbol.
One at a time left click once on the one/s that you share with your wife and hey presto there is an option to stop emails.
As you're both getting the emails you'll have to do it on both your icloud account and your wife's
This is so simple i really can't believe that i didn't get a reply with the answer

I upgraded pages. Now when I begin a new document I automatically have a text box. How do I get rid of the text box so that it does not automatically appear. What settings do I need to change?

Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

How to make New Events appear at TOP of page, not Bottom?

When I import photos, they are automatically put into a new Event. That's great. But that Event appears way at the bottom of my long events list, even though my Events are shown chronologically with the most recent events right at the top. I have to drag the new event all the way through dozens of older events in order to bring it up to the top, where I can figure out which other event folders those new images might belong (ex: "family photos, Fall 2008").
This isn't the biggest problem in the world, but I'd love to know how to set iPhoto to create the new event at the top of the list instead of the bottom. Any help? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In the View->Sort menu select Descending. However that will also have the photos in the Photos mode be sorted descending. In the Event mode you can sort the events in one direction and the photos in those events in the other. In the Photos mode both the Events and photos are sorted the same direction.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Change location/appearance in list of new events?

I've updated to 9.3 but now when photos are added to the photo stream, or when new photos are added via other methods, the new event is placed at the top of the list, and not at the bottom. Is it possible to change this? I've changed the order view, but new photos seem to automatically go to the top of the list, and not the bottom as before? Thanks

Then change the Sort from this:
to this:
and the PhotoStream import will appear at the bottom of the Event list.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
Thanks

Hi,
I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.

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??
