Apple Calendar Options: Make only major tasks appear in month view?

I'm a big fan of the Apple Calendar App, but there's one thing I've been wondering about. I like to schedule my days down to the minute to maximize my efficiency, but I don't want all the details of my daily routine crowding up my month-view calender, which I tend to reserve for major events (exams, events, etc.).
Is there a way to make it so that only events or tasks flagged as important are displayed in the month/week views even though I have a lot of routine stuff outlined in daily mode? If there isn't, it'd be great it Apple would consider implementing this as an option. I love iCal and don't want to have to juggle multiple calendar apps, but unless I can do what I've described above I'm afraid I might have to.

Is there a way to make it so that only events or tasks flagged as important are displayed in the month/week views
Unfortunately, no. There are many 3rd party cal apps available in the App store - possibly one or more can do this.
If there isn't, it'd be great it Apple would consider implementing this as an option.

All day event not appearing in month view

If I know there is an all day event on a day and I click into it from month view it is there. But for some reason I cannot see any of them from moth view. There is no colored or gray bar indicating an event.
There is one in week view. And if there is a timed event it appears in month view.
In a separate, and puzzling, event I lost all my events. Putting them back in, but not sure if this happened with 1.4 or new Facebook update.

There is an old thread on this issue. Its by design that all day events do not show up in month view and not a bug. Many users (myself included) would like this to change. I suggest using the feedback and feature request page to let them know.

Events appear in Monthly view, but not Weekly or Daily

For some reason, during the week of Dec 2 through Dec 8, all my events appear just fine in the monthly view, but when I switch to weekly, none of them are there, and when I double click on a day that I know there should be an event, the event appears in the daily view. The event however will not appear if I go to the daily view using the button at the bottom. To make it even a little stranger, when I switch from the daily back to the weekly view, the event is still there, only it now spans across three days.
Has anyone heard of this or is there a bug fix out there for this problem?
Thanks

Ramone4130,
The first and easiest troubleshooting step involves replacing/refreshing the com.apple.iCal.plist file.
Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

Calendar Doesn't Show Appointment End Dates in Month View

I'm trying to use iCal as my family calendar, but when I look in month view I only see the start time, not the end time as well. Is there a way to see and print both?
Thanks!

mopar408,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Unfortunately, that display option is not available in the month view.
I suggest that you provide Apple - iCal - Feedback.

Calendar displays different items in list vs day/month view

I have a strange problem. When viewing my Calendar items in List view, the items are all wrong for the day. But in Day & Month view they are correct.
I have tried resetting my sync history, and also removing all items, then checking the replacing items on ipod with Outlook calendar box, but it didn't fix it. It was correct until this last sync.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I figured out how to fix it so it displays the same events, no matter the view, but I can't tell you why it works. Maybe someone else can? So in case anyone else gets this, here's what you do:
With Calendar open, click on Calendar in the upper left corner. Deselect Birthdays so only Calendar has a check by it.
For some reason, that fixes it.

The Calendar app won't show March 2013 in 'Month' view. Kicks me out. What do I do?

Every time I try to look at March in 'month' view of the Calendar App, it throws me out. Can view March appointments in list view, day, week and year view, but not month view. Any ideas? month view is my favourite and its getting annoying!

debrak1,
Hopefully, Why does the month March 2013 not show...: Apple Support Communities, and Why can I NOT select March 2013 Month...: Apple Support Communities will provide you with a solution for that problem.

Only 5 events show in month view?

hi
how come only up to five all day events show up in month view on certain days?
that cannot be right, can it??
i have checked pref's etc and cannot fix this.i get the events, then just an elipse/dots for the other events on that day.
when are they going to get iCal right? google calendar seems to do everything, why not ical??
can anybody help??

I deleted all entries and resynced. Works fine now. And I found a ghost entry that is only vissible on the iPhone not anywhere else. That one might have been the problem.

Make multiday event span multidays in Month view

Hi all,
New Macbook user here, trying to organise iCal.
If I have an event, starting on Friday, going on Saturday and and finishing Sunday, is it not possible to get this to show in the month view?
I know it shows up in the weekly view, but it would be more helpful for me to have it up show up like this so I can get an overview of the month's forthcoming events.
Or if it, are there any mods/addons etc that can enable this?
thanks!
MR G

MR G,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
My iCal shows the multi-day event in the month view.
Have you checked the "all-day" selection in the info window?
;~)

All project tasks appear when I view a schedule in PWA but the schedule is blank in MS Project Professional

We have a project in our Project Server 2010 environment and it was being managed for a period of time without any issues. Recently, a user has gone into PWA and edited the schedule in PWA by deleting all the tasks and re-creating a new set of tasks.
He has saved and published the project from within PWA.
However, although the schedule can be viewed and edited from within PWA, if we try to open it in MS Project, the schedule is blank. ie. there are no tasks displayed. It is the correct project as the project name appears at the top of the MS Project
window.
I have tried saving and publishing the schedule via PWA but I still get a blank scehdule when I open it in MS Project Professional.
I have also cleared the cache in case there was something happening there but no change.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this and how to resolve it?
PS. I am not technical so if you have a technical solution, can you please explain it in as non-technical terms as possible?
Thanks
Peter

Hi Paul
As I mentioned in my post, when I open the scheudle in MS Project, there are no tasks displayed. ie. the schedule is totally blank. So although it could be opened, I was reluctant to publish it via MS Project. I did delete the MS Project
cache as well as the IE Browser history, cookies etc but no effect.
This is now a mute point as I decided to restore an earlier version of the schedule from the backups and it now seems to have been resolved. The schedule is appearing in both PWA and MS Project and they are in synch with each other.
I have put this down to a random corruption that somehow crept into the schedule.
Thanks for your response anyway.

IPhone calendar + List View All Calendars option (MobileMe)

Hi all,
I'm trying to fix a problem, which maybe there for some time already, in the iPhone Calendar. I'm using MobileMe to sync contacts and appointments. All my devices are up-to-date to the latest levels of firmware and software.
I have a normal calendar in iCal and some subscribed calendars. Ther's no difference in both type of calendars.
This is what's happening.....
- Individual calendars are all looking perfect in List, Week and Month view.
- All Calendar option is looking good in Week and Month view.
- All Calendar option is bad in List view mode.
When selecting the last option the Today date is changed a couple of days (Today = Wednesday 10-3), but also appointments are on different days. For example the soccer games on Saturday (6-3) and Sunday (7-3) are now changed to Tuesday (9-3) and Wednesday (10-3).
I have the same calendar on my other iPhone and nothing weird going on over there?!?
Does somebody have a clue?
PS. The calendars for this (MobileMe) user are all correct on the other Apple devices.
Thanks!
Regards,
Arjon G. Stelinga

Hi All,
Got a message from cini007, but I get an error message when I want to reply to that message. I have copied the "solution" below.
I have tried this, but it's not working. The only thing happening is it has changed the dates randomly.
Although I have been looking for the auto shut-off option. I can't find that option only in the alarm clock options?
cini007 posted "Re: iPhone calendar + List View All Calendars option (MobileMe)" in "iPhone calendar + List View All Calendars option (MobileMe)" on Mar 9, 2010 8:20:57 AM.
I had Genius Bar visit with same issue—no go (was advised to reset to factory settings).
BUT here is the SOLUTION as it happened again:
1. set auto shut-off to never
2. turn OFF MobileMe syncing for calendars on the iPhone (from Settings menu)
3. wait for calendar entries to be removed—takes minutes if you have several calendars
4. hard reset iPhone (press Home and On/Off at the same time for >5 seconds), and wait 2 minutes (about the time to reboot)
5. restart iPhone
6. turn ON MobileMe syncing for calendars on the iPhone (again, from Settings menu)

Events over multiple days only show on the first day in 'Month' view

Hi,
I've noticed that if I create an event that spans over two days (for example 23 May 2008 at 6 PM to 24 May 2008 at 1 PM) are only displayed on the from date in Month view.
This is unfortunate because if I look at my calendar in Month view, I think I'm free on the 24th, when in fact I'm busy until 1 PM.
Is there a way to get the Month view to display an entry for the event on both days (other than creating one event running from 23 May 2008 at 6 PM to 11:59 PM and a second from 24 May 2008 at 1:01 AM to 1 PM)?

Hi Sam
I just had the exact same problem the other day. I was asked to make an appointment with someone, I checked my calendar (actually on my iPhone) and I looked available that day so agreed and even entered the event. Turns out I will be working 70 miles away on the event I entered on the day prior. I've had the embarrassment of having to reschedule - makes me look disorganised.
The month view on iPhone is just the same as iCal - if it's not an 'all day' event it only shows on the first day. This is poor. I recall even outlook and windows mobile calendar manages to display this sensibly. Apple should be fixing this pronto.

Where is the "month" view on the calendar in iOS7?

The subject is my question.
What happened to the month view on the calendar in iOS7? I really liked my MONTH view. Mine is showing only 3 options: Today, Calendars, Inbox.
I really liked being able to see what is scheduled for the month. Now I have to push on each day to see if there is something going on, and the calendar only shows the week.
Apple reminds me of Coke. You have something that works really well and everyone loves it (real Coke), and then they decide to completely change it (fake Coke LOL) and one can never get the old stuff back -- even as an option.
So I liked my old calendar and wanted to keep it. LOL

Okay, just found this thread for anyone else who has this question: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23043066#23043066

HT202835 month view on calendar

Can you show more than two events in month view on calendar? If so, how?

Hi Prajk,
Month view is the default view after you create a calendar list.
Please make sure you are selecting the correct month:
If you cannot see the events, please create a new calendar to test the issue.
If you mean you cannot see the detail of the events, I'd suggest you create new view and restrict the Date or refer to the article below to customize the Calendar:

On my iPad 3, how do I make calendar items lasting more than one day appear as such on the monthly view of my calendar? Right now only the first day of the item appears.

On iPad 3, all of my calendar items lasting more than one day do not appear correctly when looking at the monthly view of the calendar; only the first day of the appointment appears. For example, if I am taking a vacation for 4 days, only the first day of the vacation is marked on the calendar, instead of being listed on all 4 days. When I look at the weekly view, however, it is correct and is listed on all 4 days. The problem here of course is that at a glance, there is no way to look at my monthly schedule. On my iPhone, everything is correct, regardless of month or week view, so clearly this is an iPad problem I guess? Please advise on how this can be corrected. Thank you!

Unfortunately you can't do what you want. Many people have complained to Apple about this. I suggest you provide Apple feedback directly at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html. They will not provide a direct response but hopefully if enough people provide feedback Apple will fix this.

I bought my iPad mini two weeks ago and used my apple ID to make it sync with my iPhone. But so far I have not been able to activate iMessage and face time. It only gives me the option of signing in and when I do that I get an error message telling me that either my user name or password for my email is incorrect; even though I have been using my correct my apple ID in the password entry area. My apple ID works for every thing else. Please, can you help in this case?
