this is a stupid post to have to make. i LOVE apple, and in general i find their programs extremely intuitive. but it took me several days to figure out how to make iCal “to dos” disappear after they are completed. if you just uncheck the “show completed to do items” from the “to do” toolbar, nothing happens.
you need to delve deeper, but not too much deeper. full guide here; short guide below.
1. go to ical > preferences > advanced tab.
2. change “hide to do items [x] days after they have been completed.”
3. change [x] from 7 to whatever you want; i went with 1 so i can see what i have completed for at least 24 hours after finishing.
[sigh, apple, sigh]
