I wish to make "all day" my default selection for events. Anyone know how to do that?

Hi geoffreyfromkaneohe,

If you click in the All-Day field at the top of the calendar when creating a new event, it should automatically set that new event for all day. You may also find the following article helpful regarding other creation options:

Mac Basics: iCal (OS X Lion and earlier)

I had similar problem with iPad calendar. I always like the all day option but was fed up with toggling the all day button from off to on as I need to schedule many items each day. If it's an iPad calendar then here's a solution - if you use the + option you'll need to schedule a time or all day or it defaults to the current time. But.... If you touch the day in question a new event is raised which is a default all day.
