Ical puts the date in and leaves no room for the event??

A couple of months ago ical suddenly started adding the date to my event entries and now in month view there is only room to see the date, not the event. How do I turn that off?
What it does is if I type in "7:30 p call john doe"  it puts it in the calendar as "call john doe" and then on the other side of the entry it says in light grey " May 18, 7:30pm to May 18, 8:30pm "  .
so because it says all that in light grey, there is no room for "call john doe"
so my calendar says:  c May 18, 7:30pm to May 18, 8:30pm
in other words, the event is completely displaced by the date which I dont need to see because the event is already in the box for that day.
how can I turn this off and why did it start happening?
thanks,
Katarina

nobody has an answer?? has it happened for anyone else.

    Prepare Your Mac for Sale
    Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer.  After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab.  Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button.  Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button.  Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive.  If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive.  The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive.  After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Now complete the OS X installation.  At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer.  Instead just shut it off.  The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

  • HT1364 i rebuilt my itunes from my back up discs. I lost the data again and now when i insert the back up discs itunes recognizes it as a device with no option to rebuild. any ideas?

    i rebuilt my itunes from my backup discs a couple of years ago. i lost the data again, now itunes sees the discs as a device, it lists all the songs and artists but there is not an option to rebuild again. i have over 19,000 songs from multiple sources so re copying from the originals is not an option. my ipod is fine, if i could use that to rebuild life would be so much easier. Any thoughts?

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
    ~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

  • Print and even print preview comes out unreadable. Do i need to change any internal print options. My printer works with the old firefox and windows internet explorer for the SAME document. I only have a problem printing while in firefox 4.0.

    My printouts from web pages using the previous firefox and internet explorer products work.

    There's a bug in 4.0b12, which is fixed in 4.0RC.
    Open '''Help > About Firefox''' and it should check for and install the update. If it doesn't, use the '''Check for Update''' button in that "About" dialog.

    Hold down the on/off button and the home button for 20 to 30 sec, when the iPod starts and the Apple logo is on the screen release the on/off button but continue to hold the home button until you see the plug into iTunes screen.  Connect the iPod to iTunes and you should be good to go.

    I DO remember them but Apple chose to put them in Japanese and I can not change the language on Manage my Apple ID so I do not know if I made an error ,it threw me off , it was the wrong question Where did you fly to on your first Aiplane trip ? then I was unable to enter until 8 hours then called Apple Japan 4 times each time threy asked me would you like to speak with an English speaker,I said yes then they told me sorry today is Sunday no English speakers ,but they refused to speak Japanese, then I called 5th time and a kind guy could speak English we were on 1and 1/2 hours he got me to log in but the reset key chain could not be completed still pending.
    He said do not mess with that ! then I got a text from somewhere to reset 4 pins suddenly it was very strange I said to him that I got this pin this morning but it said you can use maximum 3 hours it had a UK number and I told him I do not like this and will not enter the code he said do not do it if it is from the UK and then I said to him ok you did a lot to help but we can not go any further ! and we cut of I went back to my computer to re do the ID but I found everything a mess so I call and a stupid sounding Japanese women with a squeaky voice came on I was calm at first and they want your phone number your IMEI number your iPhone serial number date of birth Address email address it takes 10 munutes to check then they ask what are you caling about so I try to explain my keychain is broken or problems with language security questions and can not change my pasword because the security question have failed me so it is ONE BIG HEADACHE AND I START I GET STRESSED she says Do want an ENGLISH speaker ,I say yes ,that guy i talked to earlier but I never got his name and first time I ever talked to him but they said he is not here so I said ok and then she said today is sunday so call back in the morning ,I said ,well ok in Japanese but they make you feel stupid because they do not want to speak Jap@anese with none natives and they are to busy,And they feel that I should not bother them ,then I say that Apple Japan is trying to refuse Apple foreign customers and then she wants to hang up and ask me to visit the shop ,but they are the same I have a very bad time with Apple Japan since they do not discuss software problems or security with customer meaning if you have a problem they ask you to come on a time 20 minutes max so they do hardware test and say you phone is fine then I say no I can not reset my ID they say you must call call centre so I am going around in circles ,When I call English it is usually Australia so if my problem is in Japan surely if do not want me to talk to them in Japanese and they ask me to call Australia but every time my call charge is expensive after asking them is this free because I have Apple care they say yes but when the call goes to Australia 0120 277 535 it might change to paid call so I call then I have to ask is this charging they say we can not give you that information ! so what can I do I have have been at the computer and phone all day on my day off work and in tre week I am so busy and can not use my phone I can not work without it ,this new technology for you ,they can not cope with the fact that the customer have problems yet they do not want to deal with us because they can not solve it and so it shows them to be useless they like to walk around in their cool tee shirts and retro shop but when it comes to functionality we are unwelcome they got the money so do not return because apple is perfect that nothing should go wrong .
    But it does somehow my English security answers do not work on a Japanese Question especialy if I did not choose that question I set  up the multiple choice In English and wrote the answers in English or Roman and set them langauge preferences in English, do you really think you can correctly write english name or word in Japanese they write a police patrol car  pato caa パトカア they do not have r and l .So it is my choice to make my security easy for me and as difficult for others to hack.But they also have patororoo choo meaning ' now patrolling ' so why they have pato caa patrol car and patoro patrol and have thousands of Chinese words kanji they can find patrol.
    I am getting off the topic but I am at a loss to fix this problem when they hold the keys and i have all the info to verify my ID.

  • When I get an ICS from Outlook that is a multi-day event it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS.

    When I get an ICS from Outlook Express (Office is PC based) that is a multi-day event, it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS. I have to delete it and send a "decline notice" to the sender and re-enter it so I can put in multiple day events. Help!

    If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine. 
    You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups.  The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more.  The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine. 
    (My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

  • Ical "authentication failed. your username and password were rejected by the server"

    i've a pretty busy server, fully configured with correct DNS.
    running 10.6.8, uptodate. i've stopped the ical service, and removed it from the server settings.
    then i created a folder on my RAID /volumes/raid/ical, set its ownership to _calendar:_calendar (uid 93), rwx,rx,-
    then added the iCal service back, and set the data store to this new folder.
    authentication is set to digest (to reduce potential kerberos errors), with SSL on.
    i then started the service
    an existing user CANNOT connect to the caldav server. i get the error: ical "authentication failed. your username and password were rejected by the server".
    if i create a NEW user, that user can correctly connect to the Caldav server. On first joining, an entry is created in the __uids__ folder and the calender works.
    SO. WHAT IS GOING ON?
    this is 10.6, so i do not have an option in WGM to 'enable calendering'. i've used the inspector to check for differences, but i can't see any.
    help. please. and no comments about DNS. the fact i can get  a new user to function means that is excluded. no comments about SSL. ditto. no comments about kerberos, its turned off. thanks.

    I often think of things in terms of time it takes to figure out the solution to the problem vs time it takes to nuke and pave.
    Dare I ask...  How many users would you have to remake? 
    150 users would probably take 2 hours to recreate?
    ...Have you spent 2 hours on this problem yet?  How about 4 or 6?
    Perhaps you could have typed up 450 remade users so far!
    I have a great idea as to how to change ownership of home folders to users after they're created.
    Thoughts on the problem... (but don't spend too much time on it!)
    What about crypt vs open directory password?
    In WGM, select the user, click the advanced tab, and ensure that your users have OD based passwords? 
    ...sometimes that pull-down menu displays OD, but it's not really.  Try selecting OD, retype the password there, and save.
    See if it works.
    What about in server admin....  Select the server in question, click the access button at the top.
    Ensure that your services are allowed for all users to use the iCal service.
    In the iCal service in Server Admin...
    Host name setting?  It's a stretch as new users seem to work.  Ensure it's correct?
    For the sake of argument...  Change authentication type to Any Method...  If you're running OD on the server, Kerberos is running.  I know that certain services require it even though you have the option.  Perhaps iCal is being finiky without it?
    I apologize if you've tried all these, but as a user forum, you'll typically get users that don't believe that you've tried the basics.  It's honestly the best place to start.  Seeing as we don't know what you've done, it's the best advice you'll get.
