MacOS – How to select calendar with “Quick Event” in 10.7 iCal

calendaricalmacos

I really like the "Quick Event" mask in iCal under OS X lion: insert event name, start time, date and you're ready! except for the fact that sometimes I'd like to add an event to a particular calendar instead of the default one!

I've tried to add "in *calendar_name*" or "calendar: *calendar_name*" at the end of the sentence, but none of them works!

Is there a way to achieve that?

Best Answer

You can enter events to specific calendars by holding down the + button

See here the entry from iCal help:

Add events to a calendar

You can add any kind of event to your iCal calendars. For example, you can add meetings, doctor appointments, and family activities. You can’t add events to a calendar you subscribed to.

  1. Open iCal
  2. Click Add (+) at the top of the iCal window or press Command (⌘)-N.
    Events are added automatically to your default calendar.
    If you want to choose a different calendar for the event, hold down the Add button (+), and then choose a calendar.
  3. To change your default calendar, choose iCal > Preferences, click General, and then select a calendar from the Default Calendar pop-up menu.
