Blue TODAY banner on monthly iCal calendar doesn't indicate current date

Why doesn't the blue TODAY banner on monthly iCal calendar on iPad indicate current day?  (I.e., today is Wednesday Feb 8 but the blue TODAY banner is still on Tues Feb 7) .  I'm syncing to my other devices with iCloud. This problem only happens on the iPad.

Duh... My contrast settings were messed up and I couldn't see that today's date was highlighted.

    Is it a bug?

    Sorry for the huge chunk of code.
    Mm, yes, I'm far too lazy to read all that.
    But you should be overriding paintComponent(), not paint().

  • Setting default opening date for iCal calendar to be some future date?

    Is it possible to set the default date at which an iCal calendar opens to be some specified future date?
    I want to enter multiple events for a week-long program that begins on November 1, 2008, into a special iCal calendar for that program, as the dates and times for those events become known between now and then. So, each time I click on that calendar's icon, I'd like to have it open at 1 Nov 08, instead of having to step forward to that date each time I re-open the calendar.
    Any way to do this?

    christ. no answer to this?
    i just did this on a trip to boston and i /thought/ i had it fixed when i went to paris recently.
    perhaps getting a new motherboard on my MBP means i have to set my settings again to get this to work? does anyone know if this only works by setting a /combination/ of settings on iCloud and in iCal preferences...?

  • ICal/Calendar icon missing.  Only date shows.

    Running Mountain Lion, and my Calendar (iCal) icon has started acting strangely.  When it first launches, the app displays correctly--with the red and white "desk calendar" pages background.  However, as soon as I minimize or close the Calendar window, the icon background disappears and only the current month and day are displaying--the background is gone.  See the pictures.  I've removed the icon from the dock, but the behavior persists.  Ideas?  It doesn't seem to impact Calendar working, but it's annoying.

    Did anyone resolve this problem?
    I have a client who has a partially missing iCal icon on the dock. it appears to have just the number of the month in black and nothing else!
    also when you open the iCal app, the icon then turns 'normal'. But another issue is that
    all the current month's appointments are missing until you move the calendar one month ahead,
    and then back again to the current month. Then, mysteriously, all the appointments re-appear in
    the current month.

  • ICal (Calendar.app) - Is My Current-Time Marker Missing? Feature Dropped?

    Hello iCalers,
    I recently made the switch to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. I was quite a fan of iCal in Snow Leopard—it was one of the reasons I downgraded to Snow Leopard from Lion—but since I have a newer computer that doesn't allow Snow Leopard, and I've got Mountain Lion set up pretty well for me, I'm sticking with Mountain Lion.
    My standard view for things in iCal is "Weekly." In Mountain Lion's incantation, I don't see the red marker that scrolls downwards, the one that corresponded to the current time. I'm wondering: was this feature dropped in Lion/Mountain Lion, or is mine buggy, or is it an out-of-the-way preference somewhere? I peeked in some .plists and com.apple.iCal files—I laugh that Apple still calls it "iCal" at the programming end—but I couldn't see any obvious mention of that time-of-day marker.
    Any ideas?
    I liked it a lot—enough to open a discussion about it!

    Thanks John M,
    It  indeed worked when I made a new user account, so I trashed and deleted my <user>/Library/Calendars folder, as well as <user>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ical.plist—(backing them up elsewhere beforehand, in case something terrible happened), then re-set-it-up. (Holy cow it's easy to work with iCal after iCloud—literally seconds when it used to be at least a couple of minutes using Google Apps caldav or making an ical backup file and restoring calendars + fixing buggy events). It seems to be all good now.
    A few times in my OS X history I've had issues come up where something is busted and I make a new user account that demonstrates that it's not busted universally. I hadn't even thought of doing that this time. Thanks for the idea!
    May your days be merry and bright!

  • Why does calendar app icon show current date, but weather app icon does not?

    i.e. At time of writing this post, the calendar app icon shows "Sunday 16" but the weather one always always always shows "23 degrees"
    Is there a way of fixing this inconsistency in the UI?

    I now realise that this has been asked previously, only the 'previously asked?' search didnt' pick it up for me.
    Yes I understand the issues about how 'live' it needs to be, but surely you should have the option of picking this? Most people are connected 'all the time' anyway, so so what if there is a tiny bit of weather data flying about?

  • When logging into iCloud in Safari, Calendar doesn't display any events. They are displayed on the iPad, iPhone on even the iCal. What is wrong ?

    When logging into iCloud in Safari, Calendar doesn't display any events. They are displayed on the iPad, iPhone on even the iCal. What is wrong ?

    :S,
    Sorry, missed that fact. My memory is good, but short.
    Try moving the "Calendar Cache" file to your Desktop. Quit iCal, and find the "Calendar Cache" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars. Move that file to your Desktop. After that, (I remember that I recommended this before), as long as you are moving files to the Desktop, repeat the plist removal procedure once again, log out/in or restart.
    You should also consider removing the "To Do's" from Mail before restarting iCal. When you open iCal turn off "Show Birthdays calendar" in iCal>Preferences...>General.
    Are you syncing any data? If so, what method(s) are you using?
    ;~)

  • Published Calendar Doesn't Open to Current Month

    I published an iCal Calendar in 9/08 and it works fine but the icon I have on my desktop opens to the monthly view for 9/08 rather than the current month. I can scroll it forward but would rather it opened to the current month. Is there a way to do that?
    Thanks for any help.

    I am also having this issue but i am guessing that it is a known bug and if you are very very lucky it might be fixed someday....;=)
    anyway, i recommend that you go to the apple feedback page and let them know that you would like this bug fixed. Or even better call apple support phone line, when it starts to cost them money they will fix it..maybe
    Sorry to be so cynical but have been apple user for a long time...

  • In setting up my ICal calendar I have specific times (as new events) that I want to be included in the print out.  This doesn't happen.

    In setting up my ICAL calendar I have specific times (as new events) for each day.  When it prints out the time does not show up (rather its a bar).  I would like the time for each appointment to print out. How do I do this?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • What do I do with my iWeb site on Mobile Me? The iCal calendar already doesn't work at the moment.

    I am so behind the times....sorry.  I know Apple now has iCloud.  So where does that leave me with an iWeb designed website and it's hosted on mobile me????   The iCal calendar is already not working for some reason.  Is it true that the iWeb program is going away all together? Is there no way to transfer it to the iCloud?  Why would they come out with iLife 11 with iWeb if they have no intentions of continuing iWeb?????  HELP!!!!!  I have to make sure the site is active. Do I have to redo the entire frikin calendar on google?
    Some one give me answers...Thanks!

    Well, it leaves you still being able to host your site on MobileMe until June next year.  iCloud and MobileMe will exist together until this time.  This gives you time to find alternative hosting for your site.
    iCloud will NOT be providing hosting, which is exactly why Apple gave MMe users plenty of notice that this would be happening so that they could prepare and move to other alternative hosting.
    What you need to do is have a look at web hosts such as GoDaddy and HostExcllence and purchase a domain name from them as well as hosting and you can upload your website here with no problems.  Either publish to a local folder or use the iWeb built in ftp to upload.
    iWeb is an application and if you have it you can still use it.  It works with Lion and Snow Leopard.  No you don't have to re-build.  Continue to use iWeb.
    Yes, iLife 11 was brought out, but did you not notice that iWeb and iDVD were not updated as part of this?  They upgraded GarageBand, iPhoto and iMovie but not the others, so even though it is iLife 11, it is still iWeb 09.
    Your website will be okay hosted on MobileMe until June next year and after that you'll need to upload to another host.  iWeb will continue and you can still use it - you don't need to re-build all your sites.

  • ICal Calendar Colors Changing On Their Own; iCloud Connection

    AGGRAVATING PROBLEM:
    Many in this forum have written recently about a problem ongoing for people with multiple iCal calendars where iCal calendar colors change "automatically" when you haven't selected those colors, or even "change back" before your eyes to some color your DIDN'T select after you select a new one.  If you log into iCloud on the Web and try to change the color of certain calendars, they refuse to change.  Try as you might, the color you want for your calendar won't "stick" and it is forced to be the wrong color on all your devices.  In some cases, even the names of some of the calendars cannot be changed.  On other calendars in your list, the colors and names will change fine. 
    Related symptoms:  Calendars you have deleted "come back."   Or, calendars you did not create yourself show up in your calendars list, such as "Calendar" or "Home" or even "Untitled."  Note that the problem seems to be most prevalent with calendars with names "Home," "Work," OR either of these words in the NAME of the calendar.  For instance, "Bob's Work" might get snagged (it can't be deleted without coming back or its color is stuck and "comes back"). 
    I spent a long time on the phone with a helpful Apple senior advanced specialist on this problem today.  We conducted a very large number of "experiments". Our family has two iPads, 2 iPhones, and 2 iMacs, so it was easy to rule things in or out.  I will present some information that may help.
    SOME OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE GOING ON:
    First, Apple has not resolved this.  But the problem appears to be related to iCloud, and NOT to individual devices.  After de-linking all of my individual devices from iCloud, I could change any of the colors or names at will on any given device, create new calendars and then change their colors to whatever I wish, delete calendars, change names...no problem.  However, after re-linking calendars to iCloud, all the problems mentioned above returned.  The chances that my iMacs, iPhones, and iPads are all causing the problem independently is very low. They also have slightly different OS versions on them, so it is not likely an a particular device OS, though that could be indirectly related.  Also, the colors "change back" within about the same time (usually a few seconds to up to 30 seconds) that it takes to do a "refresh" (i.e. an update) to the iCloud servers.  This when iCloud is turned on, and the absence of it when iCloud is turned off (for calendars), strongly suggests that it is the iCloud server and its interaction with your devices that the fundamental cause of the problem.
    Apple has said that they are aware of this problem and their engineers are working on a fix.  Historically, this can mean just a few days, or it could be a few months, years, or "whenever."  They don't give estimates of when it will be fixed.  Exactly WHY this is happening is unclear, but my guess is that it is a modification to the iCloud server code that Apple implemented without testing it thoroughly enough to discover this problem.  Apple does not admit to that, of course and I don't know if I am correct.
    A WORKAROUND SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME:
    Please note this is a workaround and not a full fix.  Apple needs to run a patch on their iCloud server code.  Until then, I did the following which seems to have worked for me for now.  Read the whole list before deciding whether to proceed.  I don't guarantee it will work in all situations.
    Note...I found I was stuck for now with the color of ONE of my calendars.  If you are like me, you want to keep that one and work around it....
    Backup first... Make sure that your iCloud copy of your calendar data has the calendar event information you want to save - even if the color is wrong.  Log in at www.icloud.com and do a refresh to sync to the Cloud.  Check over your calendars online to make sure the event data appears to be there for all of your calendars (even if their color or name is not what you want).
    Steps:
    1.     Go to every device that you have linked to iCloud separately. Go into Settings, iCloud, and then uncheck the "Calendars" option.  This delinks your calendars for that device to iCloud.  As you do this on each device, when prompted, select "Keep On My" ..iPAD...iPhone...iMac... etc.  This will preserve the calendar information on the device so it won't be deleted.  I think this is safer, but you can click on "Delete" if you want, too.  Note - if one of your devices is an iMac, with OSX Lion and before, you may be forced (I was) to delete the iCloud calendars from the iMac.  So again, make sure they are backed up to the Cloud first (or somewhere else).
    3.     With the iCloud Calendars Option on all your devices still turned off, go to the WEB and log into iCloud.com.  You need to figure our which calendar iCloud won't let you change the color for.  You probably already know.  On iCloud.com, click on "Calendars," then click open your calendar list and select "EDIT" at the bottom of the dialog box.  One at a time, click on the color dots next to each calendar name and try to change the color (you can put any back after the test if you want). You will probably see a certain one that just goes right back to what you don't want.  This is the one for which the color is stuck, but you may be able to change the name of it now that your devices are unlinked from iCloud.
    4.     Still in iCloud.com, change the names and colors of any of the other calendars you wish to change.  Delete any empty calendars that mysteriously appeared without your wanting them.  Take note of all the calendars, names, and colors that are on the final list of calendars.
    5.     On EVERY device, BEFORE turning iCloud back on on ANY of them: Change the colors and/or names of calendars, delete calendars, etc. so that the calendar names and colors on the device are exactly the same as what you left in iCloud.com in the last step.
    6.   One at a time on each device, go back to Settings and then "iCloud" and check again the box for "Calendars."  You will be asked whether you want to "MERGE" your data with iCloud.  I selected MERGE to ensure I didn't lose anything.  Link each device again into iCloud one at a time.
    7.  When each device is back, go back to iCloud on the Web, or go into iCAL on one of your devices.  Set to view ALL calendars.  Look for duplicates of some of your events.  I found quite several as an artifact of "merging", but in my case it only took me about 5 minutes to go through quickly and delete the duplicates.  It deleted the duplicates on all of the devices at once, so I only needed to delete dups on one device.  I did not find that I lost any events as long as I kept one valid copy.
    Again, no guarantees...hope this works for others.  Good luck.

    I'm getting the same thing and it's really bugging me! Keeps changing colour to one I do not want and I have tried everything to get it to stay the colour I have chosen!!

  • Can I print my ical calendar in a orientation other than landscape?

    I like to print my monthly calendar and slip it into a monthly pocket divider in my binder that I normally take to meetings etc. Unfortunatley the ical calendar only seems to print in a landsape view that does not work well in binders. This has always been very frustrating  and because of it I have always used other calendars. I really would like to use my ical. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance.

    iCal doesn't offer you this option. You might like to consider BusyCal, which does:
    It's like 'iCal Pro', with a lot of useful extra facilities: it uses the same database as iCal so for 'On My Mac' calendars it works immediately. It will also sync with MobileMe in the same way as iCal, though you will need to set it up separately. It's slightly cheaper in the Mac App Store than from their website.

  • I create a birthday calendar in iCal and then click on it in iphoto at the begining of the calendar project each year.  Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar.  Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project?

    I created a birthday calendar to use in iphoto for calendar.  When a new calendar project is started each year, I click on it in.  Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar this year.  The photo calendar is almost complete.  Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project? I would prefer not to start over.

    Hi,
    If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.
    Best wishes

  • How Do I Link To The Current Date/Month In iCal?

    I have a link on my website which points to a published iCal calendar. The link remains static, for instance, I created the link in January, and it pointed to the January view of the calendar.
    Now that its February, I'd like the link to point to the February month view (and so on throughout the year), but it remains linked to January.
    How do I make the link dynamic so that it points to the current month/date? Thanks in advance.

    JFKrohn, Welcome to the discussion area!
    To get the current month, use a link like this:
    http://ical.mac.com/WebObjects/iCal.woa/wa/default?u=UserName&v=1&n=CalendarName.ics
    Where
    UserName = .Mac user name
    CalendarName = name of published calendar

  • ISync synced iCal calendars to phone but erased from computer.  Help!

    I performed a sync today to my Motorola E815 cell phone. All of the contacts synced fine but the calendars didn't. All of the calendars from iCal were copied over fine, but the no longer appear in iCal.
    Will syncing again copy the calendars back from the phone to the computer or will they erase off of the phone and no copy over. I am scared of losing them altogether. I could reenter them manually but that would take forever. Is there anyway to get my calendars back?
    I had performed a backup of iCal a few weeks ago but don't know how to revert to that, plus I have made several changes since then.
    What can I do?

    If you created the backup using the the option labeled Back up Database… under the File menu in iCal, then restoring that data is as easy as choosing the option labeled Revert to Database Backup… directly beneath it. If you used another means, restoration might be a little more complex. It depends entirely upon what you originally chose to to, as a restoration is effectively a reversal of this process.
    In any event, to restore the information on your mobile handset to iCal, you should reset the synchronization framework by…
    • launching iSync
    • opening the Preferences… dialog
    • pressing the Reset Sync History… button and following the instructions which appear
    You can achieve the same effect by removing your device from iSync and then adding it back. The key is to select the option to Merge the data in iCal with your mobile handset, rather than to Replace the data on your mobile handset with the data stored in iCal, which is presently empty.
    If you do first successfully restore iCal and elect to merge your data, it will recognize equivalent records and merge them, and will add the records which differ on either device to the other.
    The key to a successful outcome is to proceed slowly and deliberately, follow any instructions which occur, and ponder the likely outcome as you move forward. Generally speaking, you can stop at any point and back out of the process without affecting your data, though once you have reset or removed and then added back your device, the framework will eventually have to accommodate this change, and will perform a full, slow synchronization the next time you try to synchronize. Again, at that point if you cancelled earlier, you will have to elect to merge rather than replace data.
