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.

To set a Default Alarm in iCal:
- Select iCal > Preferences from the menu.
- Click the General tab.
- Click the checkbox next to “Add a default alarm to all new events and invitations.
- Enter the value, in minutes, in the “minutes before start time” box.
