If you use iCal to set up reminders and events it is often useful to add an alarm. This way you know an event is coming up and you won’t forget it.  To add a default alarm, go to iCal > Preferences >General from the menu bar. This will load the preferences for iCal. Within the options look for an option that says “Add a default alarm”. Check the box and add a time in the text box.  Now every time you add a new event within iCal it will automatically add an alarm to that event.

How do you make that file, whether it by a word document, html file, image or anything in between, into a PDF.  Creating a PDF file on your Mac is as simple as hitting print. In fact any application that has a print dialogue box can create a PDF file. For example open your file, it can be anything, you can use this web page as an example. Go to File > Print. Don’t go the usual route of loading up your printer, instead click on the PDF drop down menu and select one of the PDF options. Use the first option “Save as PDF” for the default PDF option.  Good luck!
