Nasty iCal bug in Leopard

Hi
I think I have discovered a very nasty bug in Leopard iCal.
If I try to do any kind of search in iCal, by typing in the search word into the search field, the list of found items is empty, although I can clearly see the items dimmed in the month view. The same thing works fine in Tiger (10.4.10).
Exporting (backup database) the iCal data from Leopard or Tiger and importing it back (revert) into iCal does not help.
This one sure is a show stopper for me, unless there is some workaround.

More detail on the iCal black box problem.

ICal bug subscribing/publishing between Leopard and Tiger?

It seems there is a strange incompatibility between iCal 2.0.5 (Tiger) and iCal 3.0 (Leopard).
I work for a company where 10 employees share their calendars through a private server.
Everyone publishes his/her calendar and is subscribed to all the other calendars within the company. So effectively, everyone sees his own calendar in iCal as read/write and all the other calendars as read- only.
Last week 3 machines were upgraded to Leopard and since then trouble started.
Now, when someone on a Leopard machine creates an event and invites someone who is on a Tiger machine, the Tiger machine can accept the invitation but as soon as it is accepted the event disappears from the Tiger calendar.
As soon as the subscription to the Leopard calendar is removed, the event reappears on the Tiger calendar.
The results are the same when a Tiger user invites a Leopard user on the Tiger machine.
I tried this both with a private server and dotMac.
Does anyone have the same experience and perhaps a solution to it?
Right now the only solution I see is to upgrade all the machines to Leopard.

Although I don't have a solution, I share your pain. I had less problems with iCal even before upgrading to Leopard.
What I can find across forums discussing bugs in iCal for Leopard is that, for the moment, there are a lot of small annoyances regarding alarms, compatibilities and inability to edit items without causing it to crash, amongst other topics.
The frustration level is growing as no sign of help seems to be come from Cupertino until now, the best help is on the forums, by power users themselves.

I am unable to sync my iPhone4 iCal to my Mac iCal. Snow Leopard does not support the Cloud. What do I do?

I am unable to sync my iPhone4S iCal to my Mac iCal. Snow Leopard is my OS and it does not support the cloud. What do I do?

To makeuse of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Strange text offset bug in Leopard?

A few days ago I discovered this strange bug(?!) in both the iCal icon in the Dock and in iPhoto '09.
The date on the iCal icon are offset and the name of events in iPhoto.
It just came up from nowhere. The day before it was allright. So I reinstalled Leopard, iLife and so on... Everything was fine yesterday, but today the same thing happend.
The only installation I have made today is Adobe CS4 Master Suite. BUT I'm not sure if it happend after or before the installation.. Or maybe hours after the installation.
It's not a serious bug, but very very annoying. Any clues? Trixes? Fixes?
Images at: http://public.me.com/johannesroth/

The images were easy to view... thank you!
Did you by chance edit the images in a Photoshop app and then export them to iPhoto????
Did you have iPhoto 08 and upgrade? If so, try this, delete this file:
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. See if the text is still off set.

24h time entry in iCal bug

Being from Europe, all my clocks are in the 24h format, including all of my Macs and my iPhone. iCal in Leopard shows the 24h clock, but I noticed that when I want to enter a time for an event, it still shows AM/PM, which is irrelevant in the 24h system. Moreover, if I enter 12, it will show 14; all entrances are 2 higher than what I type in. Depending on whether it is AM or PM it makes its own time. I believe this is a bug but I don't know how to approach Apple. Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Jan

I have the same troubles. I can't enter the start/end times via the keyboard. I drag the event to the correct hour and then can enter the minutes. If I try to enter the time via the keyboard, I can't directly enter the correct hour. For example, if I enter "12" for hours, the result is "24." If I enter "13" for hours, the result is "03."
This problem has manifested with Leopard. All was OK with Tiger. I miss the old column on the right of the main window that had the details of whatever was selected in the main window. Now, we have to double-click on the event in the main window to get another window which I then have to click on "edit." Too much clicking IMO.

ICal bug!

Didn't know where to post it so I decided to post it here. Not a major bug, but a bug nevertheless. Maybe someone here wants to check it out on their iCal so I get a sense if it is touching just me or anyone else.
Follow all steps:
- open iCal in weekly view.
- click on a day differen than "today".
- click on "today" on the upper left side (where "today" is written ).
- click on the red dot to "close the app" without really closing it.
- reopen iCal by clicking on the icon.
Now you should have the today button greyed out, no matter which day you choose. The only way to have it back is to close and reopen iCal.
No data loss, nothing... Just a little bug I found in iCal.
I run Mac OSX 10.5.4 on a MacBook Pro 17" no plugins, nothing installed. Software is in italian.
Anyway: others get the same result? (just checked it again to be really sure it is indeed not working, and it's not..)

Has a real solution to this bug been found yet? It has been on going for me and has become annoying. The only way to get the "today" button and the search feature to work, is to quit iCal and start it again.
Very annoying.

Apple You Need to Fix iCal/iSync in Leopard!

Hi,
What did Apple do to iCal in Leopard? They broke it somehow. I had hard drive failure in powerbook. Replaced Hard drive, did new install of Leopard. Then installed Palm desktop 4.2 (newest from site). Setup Palm Treo 650 conduit in isync. It will only sync the addresses, nothing in iCal. Either way is bad. From Treo to iCal, and iCal to Treo won't work. Everything IS setup correctly. I used to do this in Tiger with no problems. What did Apple do to Leopard? This needs to be corrected immediately! I do all my scheduling in iCal. It is useless to me if I can't sync it to the Treo to take with me.

You have no idea of what you are talking about, and your claims are entirely without merit. iCal was rewritten from the ground up for release with Mac OS X 10.5, and the synchronization component of it—in particular—does not work as intended or expected.
Virtually all mobile handsets and smartphones which worked under various releases of Mac OS X 10.4—with or without a plugin—continue to work under Mac OS X 10.5 and later. It is almost exclusively Palm devices which do not work as user would reasonably expect them to since the release of Mac OS X 10.5 and iCal 3.
iCal and iSync cannot simply be returned to their Mac OS X 10.4 counterparts: your inability to understand the complex nature of programming these applications and their frameworks apparently underlies your groundless assumptions and claims.
It silly to claim that these applications "…worked perfectly in and up to 10.4." Nothing could be further from the truth. By most reasonable measures, particularly with regard to Palm devices, these applications did not come close to working "perfectly," and many, many mobile handsets offer better interaction with the Address Book and iCal through iSync than does the iPhone through iTunes.

ICal bug with month view

I primarily use week view on iCal, but sometimes i switch to month view for a larger perspective. Often, i use month view to check for any leftover events from the previous month in case i forgot to delete one or two.
I just found a bug concerning this. If i click on "month" today, it'll take me to the month view for june 2011, and from there i can navigate forwards or backwards. However, may 2011 seems to have a bug. If i click on < from june, it does nothing; if i click again, it takes me to april 2011. Similarly, if i click on > from april it does nothing and if i click again it takes me to june.
It doesn't end there. The june/may thing happens only when the selected day (the one shaded light grey on the month and week views and bright blue on the little month tab on the left) is after 04 june. If a day from the first week of june (i have my weeks start on sunday) is selected, the < button does take me to may, but several events which i deleted a long time ago are showing up.
Now, i have an event set for today (04 june). Since the first four days of june are in the same week as the last three of may, the month view for may shows these four days, as any normal calendar app would.
If i use the month tab to the left to navigate, i can access may 2011 by selecting any day on that month. However, iCal's behaviour depends on which day was selected previously. If the previous day was in april 2011 or earlier, iCal will show the month of may completely empty, which is great because i have no leftover appointments from may; however, the box for 04 june is also empty, which it shouldn't be. If the previous day was in june 2011, it'll show may with a repeating event on every sunday except the first, which is completely absurd, since i have deleted this event (and why isn't it showing on the first sunday in may?); the box for 04 june, however, will correctly show the event i have set for this day. If the previous day was in july 2011 or later, it'll show may with the repeating event on all sundays (including the first one) and it won't show anything on the box for 04 june.
Obviously, there is a bug with may 2011.
In case it helps, i do have a repeating event set to all sundays until the end of existence, but i have deleted all the entries from may and previously, since they have obviously already happened. Also, i had many other repeating events set to happen on different weekdays; these are to repeat themselves weekly until about halfway through june, and they started on april or may (can't remember right now). Like the sunday one, i have deleted all the entries from may because they have already taken place. Strangely (and thankfully), none of these appear when i visit may from june or later, as does the sunday event.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or am i forever stuck with week view, which has so far proven to be bug-free?
(I did a search on Google and another on the Apple forums for this issue but could find nothing, so i decided to ask the question myself. I apologise if somebody has already asked this question and i just couldn't find it.)

Greetings,
I have a vague recollection of someone else with this issue but haven't experienced it myself nor encountered it recently.
Troubleshooting:
1.) First make an iCal backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966.
2.) Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical and / or "ical"
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

ICal Events on Tiger Not Showing Up in iCal on Snow Leopard

Don't know that I've noticed this before but calendar events I insert on iCal running on 10.4.11 (Tiger) do not appear after syncing in iCal on my laptop running Snow Leopard. What gives?
Joe

Let me try to clarify what you want to do. You want the Events and Albums in your iPhoto library on your Mac to be synced to your mobile devices, right?
Do you have this box checked in iPhoto's iCloud preference pane?
That will upload all of the new photos you've added to the library to the Photo Stream.
If the iPad isn't picking them up try disabling the Photo Stream on the iPad and then reenable it.

IPod sync to iCal bug (location not showing)

Can someone confirm for me if the following is a bug in the iPod software? I have started using iCal which includes a "location" field to indicate where particular appointments are being held. However, when I sync the information to iPod, the location field never appears in the iPod. Is this a recent bug or something that no one has noticed before?

Apple was made aware of the bug in December. It affects all iPods. There is a way to get around it by editing the ics files after you synchronize. I've made available on my website at <http://isd.usc.edu/~bbellina> an Applescript and Perl application that does this for ics and vcs files. See thread:
<http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1569754>

IPhone iCal bug- appointments suddenly 1 hour off

After 2 days of searching and 1 hour on tech support, I've concluded Apple has a bug with iCal on iPhone that still needs to be addressed.
I realized 2 days ago after missing a scheduled conference call that my iCal appointments on my iPhone (3GS) were all showing 1 hour ahead AFTER March 23 (that FYI did NOT coincide with the recent shift to Daylight Savings Time, which I originally thought could be the culprit).
I'm a seasoned Mac/iPhone user (one of the early adopters of iPhone) and this iCal problem just showed up out of the blue.
I searched Apple Discussions and found other instances of this in recent years, and tried every recommended fix:
--Ensured all time zone settings on Mac and iPhone were correct and matched at EST/New York (general AND iCal)
--Tried toggling time zone support off then on again on iPhone
--Tried turning time zone support on and off, in every conceivable combination, on both Mac and iPhone
--Tried posting new entries on the Mac iCal, but same problem: a new 5pm ET appointment on Mac showed up as 6pm on iPhone
--Rebooted
After an hour of troubleshooting, the tech support person today said the only thing they could suggest is a complete restore of iPhone, NOT using previously stored info-- meaning, among other things, many text messages of sentimental value to me would be lost forever.
Eventually, my Mac iCal entries got messed up too, overridden by the incorrect iPhone ones (fortunately only after March 23).
Ready to give up, I tried changing "bad" appointment times on the iPhone to see if Mac iCal would match them upon sync. THEY DID!
So then I deleted every single appointment on my Mac iCal after March 23, created entirely new appointments (putting correct time for each in the title for every entry in case this happens again), then synched: For now, everything matches.
I've lost about 5 hours on this that I didn't have to spare.
APPLE: PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. My iPhone is my "Blackberry"-- I rely on it for work and tell other PC "power users" that it's totally reliable. This has shaken my faith...

bruce1964,
Are your Mac, go to the Date & Time preferences. Is it set to set date and time automatically, and pulling time information from Apple Americas/U.S. Time?
Is the Time Zone correct?
Hope this helps,

DST iCal bug (at least for Sony Ericsson mobiles)

The recent Daylight Savings changes caused a baffling bug to show itself. I keep my phone's calendar (Sony Ericsson K610i) synchronised with my iCal calendar. This includes my timetable for the academic term, with about 13 weekly recurring events.
As the term starts in September, they straddle the change in daylight savings, so when the change occurred, all these recurring events appeared an hour earlier on my phone than in iCal.
I thought this was a time zone issue, but no amount of fiddling with time zone and DST settings on the phone resolved this. Eventually, I realised they were recurring, and moved the first occurrence of each event after the DST change in iCal, selecting "Update All Future Events", then moved them back. Suddenly on synching, they're correct (though only after the DST change — a well-known limitation).
This meets the definition of a bug in my mind, and should be resolved automatically by iCal/iSync. I hope that Apple will do something about this, as I couldn't find any explanation of this at all.

This has always been the case, for all Sony Ericsson phones, and neither Apple nor Sony Ericsson seem willing to fix it through years of different handsets and updated versions of iSync.
Basically, all you have to do when the clocks change, is change the Daylight Savings setting in the phone accordingly, and re-sync.
Everything will then be fine right up until any events after the next clocks change - so you're good for 6 months anyway!
I've also fiddled with all the internal options within the iSync (not accessible through the interface), and nothing works satisfactorily there either. It's possible to disable time zone support completely, but then you have to just change the time on the phone, instead of the Daylight Savings setting, so it's no easier than just re-syncing.

Music + ical bug

I have found a recreatable bug that is somewhat annoying. When listening to music I hit the home screen button then the iCal button. When iCal is loading the music stops and iCal crashes. It happens everytime. Does anyone else get this? Thanks!

Just tried it and even did some math and didn't crash either program. Not to say it wouldn't crash if I kept using it like it does with Safari, Notes and Maps...
Sorry, just noticed that was cal, not calc. I tried the calendar too though, and it didn't immediately crash either program.
