TS3999 Default settings when transferring iCal events to Outlook

My workplace uses iCal to link its venue booking system to Outlook Calendar.  With iCal set up as a calendar in Outlook, you can then drag events from there into your Outlook calendar and invite people to events. However, the default settings on the event once it gets into Outlook calendar that are not very useful for meeting scheduling.  It defaults to no meeting reminder and no requirement for invitees to actually respond to the invitation.  I know how to change these settings, but would really rather I didn't have to.  The latter seems to have only changed recently.  My IT colleagues tell me this is an iCal issue, not created by our venue booking system.  Anyone know how I can get iCal to change back to "Responses required" as the default setting and add a default reminder?

Jeff,
Oddly enough, I de-selected the option in the iCal preferences to Turn on Time Zone Support, and I was able to view events obtained from Outlook users in the correct timeframe. Not sure why this was the case, but any event sent to me as a calendar event from Outlook would always show up as GMT time zone, which is not where I'm located.
This doesn't completely answer your question, as you were sending events out to Outlook users, but it might be worth trying?

  • Default time frame for ICAL events

    Ever since I upgraded to Lion, the default time frame for ICal events has been set to "entire day".  Is there any way to change this?

    Hi,
    If you add a time to the event description, like "meeting  11am tomorrow", it should create an event (with the title "meeting" on tomorrows date at 11am with a duration of 1 hour.

  • 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.

  • Front row doesn't play default music when displaying an event slideshow

    I bought an iMac recently, the first time I used front row to display event slideshows it plays a default classical music. The same event displayed in iphoto '08 plays several default songs, but for some reason front row at this moment doesn't plays any music. I suspect that I clicked the save settings button in iphoto when I tried to play a slideshow.
    Anyway, I would like to restore all the default settings and play the default music in front row and iphoto for all my photo events.

    Yes, there are only three or four settings stored in there. The last module selected when you closed Front Row (Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, DVD, Photos, or Movies), the country your iTunes is set for (so Front Row can show the "top rated" items from the store) and whether or not you've turned on sound effects and/or the Front Row screen saver. No other preferences are stored there. All of the media-specific preferences are store in the application that controls that media (the DVD Player.app for the DVD settings, iTunes for the Music settings and iPhoto for the Photos settings).

  • How can I permanently "reset toolbars to default settings" when viewing pdfs in Firefox?

    Just upgraded to version 8.0.1. My job includes a fair amount of searching and printing from PDFs that have been published on the web. The standard toolbar at the top of the PDF is gone. I hit Alt-F8 to get it back ("Restore toolbar to default settings?"). Sometimes the toolbar comes back, sometimes it doesn't. If it does come back, the available buttons don't reflect how I customized it last time, and the next time I open a PDF the toolbar is gone again. I need this fixed !!ASAP!! or I have to go back to another browser because I don't have time in the day for this. Please don't make me use IE!!!

  • 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...."

    actually your style sheet is here:

  • Exclamation Marks when creating ical events

    When I enter my location (just my hse name?) and hit return it adds a "!" just before it - why? It didn't prior to me updating the ical in mobileme!
    It then does the same thing when I add invitee's; hit return after entering their email add and then it shows their name/email add but with a browish/greyish exclamation maek - plus the invitee's don't actuall get an invite.
    What's going on - all help/advice gratefully received
    D

    Greetings,
    When you say "updating the ical in mobileme" I think you mean you upgraded to the MobileMe Calendar Beta?
    The MobileMe Calendar Beta is a server based calendar. With server based calendars the "location" and "invitee" fields are server based. What does this mean? This means that when you type in a location, the server is looking in it's database at a list of "locations" to see what it has. In large companies this might be a list of conference rooms. As this is a MobileMe server there are no location so whatever you type in is "not found" therefore you get the exclamation point.
    The same is true for invitees. Server based invitees are looking for people on the server. In a company the server would contain a list of all the employees on the server. People on the server will show up in the invitee list. As there is no one on the server in this case, everyone you enter in gets the exclamation point.
    You can still send an invite to someone by clicking on the arrow by their name and choosing send email.
    I have been playing with the Beta since it came out and haven't figured out how these features of iCal are supposed to work with the MobileMe Calendar Beta. It is a Beta after all (which is testing software...not a final product) so some features may not be ironed out yet.
    There is an article that suggests invites are supposed to work: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4038, however they do not for me.
    If you need those features to work as they did before you may wish to stop participating in the Beta testing program: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4243
    You could try contacting MobileMe to see if they have any insight: http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/ However Beta software is by definition testing software so they may not be supporting this trial run yet.
    Hope that information helps.

  • How do I change my default settings when opening an email PDF attachment?  I want it to "open" not "save as".  I did the Adobe chat but the steps he gave me for my Adobe Reader XI didn't match up with the options on my screen.

    It used to "open" but somehow must have flipped over to "save as"

    Hi Susan,
    Welcome to forums.
    As you mentioned that you received an email from Adobe. That is a auto generated email by the systems, so you don't need to worry about it, If you download the product today, according to system it starts from today however pratically, trial starts after you installed and first launch it. So please ignore that email
    You can install the FM in your desktop and laptop and activate it on both the machines however cannot use it at the same time as per User License Agreement. As Harpeet mentioned the email for support team, you can post your question on forums or to that email.
    Hope this answers your query.
    Thanks

  • Is anyone experiencing High loading times for iCal events using Outlook exchange

    I am using an iPad2 and use the default iCal and another calendar app (HD Informant) connected Exchange and synched to Outlook. Recently it is taking over  45 seconds to a minute to load calendar events. When I go to swipe to a new week, it freezes' or at least takes another 45 seconds to move day to day, week to week or month to month.
    Is anyone experiencing similar issues?

    categories are not supported at present. If you add a contact to your phone and sync, you will need to categorize in outlook.

  • When & how to use default settings option in job scheduling with BO 4.1

    Hi,
    With BO 4.1 we got new features and one of them is "Default Settings" option in the job scheduling. While scheduling a report in CMC we are getting below attached screen. I want to know when and how to use this option? while scheduling job on queries.
    Please guide me to, thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Mithun Pati.

    Hi Mithun,
    Below thread may give you clear idea.
    The Purpose of the default settings is to have customized default settings for the enterprise. These settings would apply to any user who has access to Info view and wants to schedule a report. For example you can setup default values for "From" section of email so any scheduled reports use those settings. Similarly another setting we have defaulted is the number of retires involved and the seconds for each retry. Business Objects will not send out a failure emails unless the last retry has failed. The default settings should only be modified by an admin.
