Why do I have an 8-hour default time in ical 5.0.2?

I have upgraded to Lion and currently have iCal v 5.0.2. When I start a new event it shows as "All day." When I unclick this the default appointment length is 8 hours. How can I change the default settings to a 1- (or 2-) hour default time rather than all day or 8 hours?

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
then in terminal.app
copy and paste:

    I've seen a couple of other threads over the last 10 minutes posting similar problems, so it appears to have affected other people as well - the poster on the first thread has now posted again saying that it's now working for him, so you could give it another try.

  • Why do we have to change passwords every time we do something on the iPad?

    WHy do we have to reset passwords every time we do something on iPad?

    You shouldn't have to. It sounds like you may have content on the device associated with more than one apple id. If that's the case then, you may be entering a password for one account when you should be entering another.
    I would suggest using only one apple id username on the device and delete any content associated with another.

  • Why is it impossible to see an appointment "time" in ical/maverick OS on macbook air?

    Why is it impossible to see an appointment "time" in ical/maverick?  How could this be a good thing when looking at appointments at a glance in day view and you come to a screeching stop because the TIME is invisible, while in month view time isn't there at all!!
    Thanks,

    This is actually a run-on sentence, so it's a little difficult to tell what you mean.
    Time is visible in the appointments at a glance in day view.  I think you acknowledge this and agree.
    Time is also visible in week view.  (You didn't mention week view.)
    Time is not visible in month view.  You could see the time for a specific event by clicking on it.
    Similarly, time is not visible in year view.
    It makes sense that as you lose fidelity, you lose detail.

  • Why did I have to sign in 4 times to get into this forum?

    I hate apple.  I have to sign in 4 times just to use the forum?  And the only reason I want to use the forum is because Apple broke my ipod.  It was working fine until I tried to run the update.  Then it crashed, and wont work until I restore it, which means I lose everything on it.  Stupid apple.  Your stuff stinks.

    Complain here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html or call Apple and ask for Customer Relations.

    Windows 7 includes DirectX 11 in its baseline and it is not necessary to install another version of it.  Your problems may be caused by the installation of the version of DirectX you installed.  Uninstall the one you installed and see if you

  • ?Why do you have to enter it several times over to get an alert in the diary to accept a 1 hr alert to go off 1st and then 2nd alert at 30 mins

    Why is there a problem getting an I phone to accept the fact that I want it to alert me on the first time it goes off an hour before any event and the 2nd alert at 30 mins before the event? I enter the 1st alert for 1 hour and the 2nd alert for 30 mins but it always saves as 30 mins on the 1st alert and an hour as the 2nd alert. It seems the only way around this to to re-enter it several times over and over to get the phone to accept what I want it to do which is time consuming and annoying. Please help.

    I have experiencing this, but only since I have installed I o s 7

  • Why do i have to contact support every time i buy an app?

    I can't believe I am the only person experiencing this. I've been an apple customer for over six years. I have two personal ipads, one work ipad, and two personal iphones with them. For some unknown reason this year they decided to put some restriction on my account that if i try to buy an app from the app store, I have to call in to support to get it to go through. Support fixes it, but ONLY FOR THAT PURCHASE. Anytime afterward that I want to buy an app, I have to go through the same thing again. Every time I call, I get a difference excuse for why it's happening. One person told me it's because i got a refund on an app once (mind you , the refund was because APPLE doublecharged me for one app, not anything that was my fault). Lately the new line has been that it's "for my protection". Who on god's green earth thinks that is a reasonable way to treat a customer? Why only me? I don't see anyone else complaining about this. I spent thousands of dollars on Apple equipment expecting a certain kind of service, and instead I'm treated like a criminal where I can't even buy an app with a valid credit card without getting special permission. Has Apple lost their collective minds?

    We are fellow users, we won't know why. If you are frequently changing your payment method then that might be why - if you've got the message to contact them again then you could see if they can see why it's happening and if they or you can do anything to stop it happening.

  • Why do I have to accept agreement each time I open a CC program?

    I have to accept the license agreement each time I open an Adobe CC product. Sometimes I have to relogin to CC. Why is this happening? I should be able to accept the agreement once for a single product and have all products activated, not have to accept the agreement and login each time I open a program. For example, I'm working in Photoshop and have to accept the agreement. With PS open, I open a PDF and have to accept the agreement. I close Photoshop and upon reopen I have to accept the agreement again about 75% of the time. Same with all CC products.
    Is the Creative Cloud connector not keeping the registration data or something? All software that I'm using is updated including the cloud connector.

  • If order is never delivered to me, why do I have to waste my $ and time to file a police report?

    So my order #H123036443 was placed and I never received the product though tracking results says it was signed for by me which couldn't be possible since I am working practically a city away during the afternoon but yet I was told i am not getting a replacement and they I have to file a police report and pay to get this and send it back to you HHO team?! Wow, extra of my time and my money even though i did nothing wrong? That's absurd, any other tech company would have sent me another one and continue on with the investigation without further bothering me (the customer). I am so upset that I am lost for words. I expressed my discontent with your so called "resolution team" asking them what their next steps are which they had no idea so I suggesting what other tech companies would have done. Now they won't even reply....Great way to treat customers who will be writing numerous reviews.

    here's the follow up from Customer service relations:
    I still have no laptop and the investigation seems to have stopped from your
    side pending me to send a police report. It is not as if I ever physically
    received the item purchased even though i originally paid for it first so to my
    understanding it was not "stolen". To my understanding, a merchandise should
    have been received before it can taken from me as a crime. As far as I am
    concerned as a customer, the merchandise I originally paid for was never
    delivered to me. Now you are telling me that your courier replied to you and advised that the
    person didn't speak English then why don't your side or courier call the
    authorities on this person to have product returned?
    They can go in case of forgery or impersonation.
    Your resolution team advised me to get a police report which doesn't make sense to me. Here's why:
    1 - item never physically received
    2 - filing a police report cost money
    3 - most importantly, it takes time (traveling, waiting in precinct, basically
    extra work, which I don't see that being reimbursed to me from your company)
    Here's what other companies have done which I suggested:
    - immediately contact courier and get investigation going on (your side failed
    to do that until 2 days after i reached out to them)
    - after first week, process a replacement order while your investigation
    continues on
    - Your side should call the authorities your courier service (delivery man or whomever) or file a claim with them not me.
    Hope you can help in any way other than telling me to call the police.
    Please do advise and have a good weekend. Thank you.
    Dear ,
    I am sorry for the inconvenience this has caused
    but I do not have the authority to override the requirement of a police report
    when a confirmed delivery with Fedex is disputed.   I would be happy to help
    expedite the resolution of this delivery problem if you provide the police
    report required for the missing delivery. Again, our apologies for the
    inconvenience this has caused.

    Hi susan,
    Please advise what can you do as a resolution if I did go out of my way to file
    a police report and give you the report number?
    Unless you are offering a replacement order free of charge or with a significant
    discount, I don't see this being worth my time and trouble with all the
    aggravation I have dealt with already...(as already listed out in detail in
    previous email).
    Hope you understand and awaiting your reply.
    Thanks and have a good night.
    Dear .
    We would be happy to replace the order for you once we have the police report
    for our claim with FedEx.  The original charge will remain on your account and a
    new order will  be shipped to you to replace the stolen order.  Please send the
    police report to [email protected] and you can copy me so that I can
    follow up with our delivery manager.
    Regards,
    Susan
    Hi Susan Peasley,
    We are now back to square one.
    It seems anything that goes wrong with an order, the customer is responsible for even though merchandise was never delivered...
    This is the most unfair treatment I had ever encountered of all my years.
    From the 2nd phone call of many to your resolution team, I was advised for some type of compensation for my troubles and you are telling me otherwise.
    Right now, you still expect me to take my time off work meanwhile (I work 7days a week) to drive to the police station to file a report and then PAY for the report for you to make a claim against Fedex?

  • HBO GO: Why do I have to sign in every time?

    Every time I open a new browser window to HBO GO, I have to sign in again.  I'm accustomed to web sites using cookies to keep me logged in.  Also, it doesn't automatically remember what I've been watching, and navigation is practically nonexistent.  Every time I want to watch another episode of the same show I was just watching, I have to search for it again and browse through all the episodes to get back to where I was.  Why is this site so inconvenient compared to other web sites? 

    Please check your cookie settings. The cookies is what remembers information from the different websites. It's the Verizon website it has to authenticate to. So when you go to the HBO go website, it then authenticates at the Verizon website (a third party site according to your browser since its going outside the HBO go site)
