Setting a Default Alarm in iCal

by rhyttinen on February 4, 2009

You can set iCal to create a default alarm for every new event you add to your calendar. This can be a real time saver if you add alarms to most of your iCal events. Note that the reminder time must be entered in minutes. For instance, I like to be reminded of my events three days in advance, so I entered 4320 in the value box.

By default, this feature is turned off.
