Calendar app in 10.3 dev preview

Surprised to see what seem like an obvious UX issue with the calendar app in the 10.3 dev preview:
The month view is moved forward/backward in time by swiping down and up, where the day and week view are moved forward/backward in time by swiping left/right. While I suppose I could get used to it, I don't see why it was necessary or desirable to break the user's sense of past/future navigation depending on what chunk of time they are striding forward/backward. Why not just keep the way that it works in 10.2?

Oh, and also a minor observation/suggestion:
In month view, the agenda panel below the calendar can be expanded by tapping a tiny little icon button. Swipe gestures are genius on small screen mobile devices because they require less precision vs. tapping on some very specific spot. Why not expand or contract the agenga view panel with a swipe up/swipe down? The tiny little tap target can stay, as a visual cue for folks who prefer to tap a button, but high-utility swiping is all over the rest of the calendar app, and agenda view expansion is just one more logical place to put it.

Calendar app iOS7 needs updating

The calendar app in iOS7 is terrible, you need the preview view like in iOS6. See what events you have on in the month ahead (I know in iOS7 you can click the search button but its not the same and not easy to view) Bring back the preview view ASAP apple.
P.S. everything else so far is good.

I just got the "Week Agenda" app now and it seems to be really good. Its free today also

Recomendation for calendar app for server/sharing

I'm looking to deploy a shared calendar for my workgroup at the office, on our server.
Ideally I would like this to be simple to setup, and am really looking for something with a web based client.
I've come across quite a few calender server apps but they require client software to communicate with the server.
found a few that have built in web clients but the setup seems fairly complex.
I suppose complex setup is okay but would still like recommendations for a good one so i'm not wasting time getting it setup if it sucks.
something like google calendar would be perfect but I want to run it on my (arch) server and not the interwebz.
As far as for what we plan to do with it would be a single, or possibly 2 or 3 shared calendars. I would like to have logins for each user and give them either read only or change access to the calendar. I dont need individual calendars for each user. Just a couple of global shared ones that everyone can update. Currently running lighttpd but I can change to apache if need be.
any ideas appreciated

Not working out very well im afraid
I did find a few and played around with them but really didnt find anything that did what I wanted.

setup seemed a bit complicated and it was also very much targeted at universities. though I didnt play around with it very long, might be promising if you invest some time into it...

this project is dead. It works. You can build it, but the interface is horrible and it doesnt seem very usable or user friendly.
http://www.zimbra.com/community/downloads.html
This is email and everything. It has a calendar, but its pretty heavy to run this if you just want a calendar app.
http://bongo-project.org/Main_Page
This one is very promising. I got wonderful support from the devs on irc when I ran into install issues. Unfortunately the gui hasnt been fully developed it seems. The calendar comes up fine but there is no interface to add appointments, etc. at least that I could see. I was a bit discourced and didnt go back to the devs to get more info...
maybe you will have better luck than I did...

Best way to install Dev Preview 2.1.x on OS X 10.7

I just downloaded the OS X dev preview and am looking forward to experimenting with it, but the link on the downloads page that purports to link to "Release notes and installation instructions" actually leads to release notes only--no install instructions. I'd like the preview to be generally available on my system, but also want to make sure I don't have to chase down and delete multiple files when upgrading to a newer version (I might miss something) and also don't want to destabilize Java in apps that don't use JavaFX. Suggestions as to how to achieve these (probably contradictory aims) best are appreciated.
I'm usiing IDEA 11, and accessing Java libs through Scala 2.9.0.1 or above (depending on project).
Thanks,
Ken

don't want to destabilize Java in apps that don't use JavaFXThe JavaFX dev preview installs are seperate installs from Java - Java knows nothing about them, so it can't be destabilized by them - this may change some time in the future if Java and JavaFX are co-bundled on OSX, but that probably won't happen anytime soon, so I wouldn't worry about it.
I'm usiing IDEA 11, and accessing Java libs through Scala 2.9.0.1 or above (depending on project).If you are already using JavaFX + Scala + IDEA 11, then you don't need the guide below, which isn't directly related to your question . . . but just in case.
Install Idea 11.0.1 from http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html (important to have the latest version here as earlier builds of version of 11 didn't really work - read crashed... - with the scala plugin).
Get the latest nightly build of the Idea scala plugin from http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/SCA/Scala+Plugin+Nightly+Builds+for+Nika (Nika is codename for Idea 11, earlier builds of the scala plugin don't work well with Nika).
Install the downloaded scala plugin in Idea via File | Settings | Plugins | Install Plugin from disk
Install JavaFX from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/devpreview-1429449.html
To create a sample JavaFX + Scala project based on a maven artifact imported into Idea:
Set a JAVAFX_HOME environment variable to the location your JavaFX developer preview SDK is installed at. (not required for general JavaFX development, but is required to use this maven artifact).
Create a new project, File | New Project | Create Project From Scratch | Project Name => colorfulcircles & **select Maven Module** | Add Archetype | GroupId: de.schlichtherle ArtifactId: javafx-scala-demo Version: 0.4
Edit the pom.xml file to set the scala.version to 2.9.1 and the scalatest version to 1.6.1, then click on Maven Projects | Reimport (optional step to get the latest version)
Open ColorfulCirclesDocs.scala and change Application.launch line to Application.launch(classOf[ColorfulCirclesDocs]), then rightclick on the launch line to run the program - your screen should be full of colorful circles generated by scala invoking JavaFX.
If you are new to JavaFX, I recommend developing JavaFX in Java, otherwise have fun with JavaFX and Scala and, if you have not seen it yet, checkout the ScalaFX project (http://code.google.com/p/scalafx/) .

Google calendar app unable to print on HP6510

Attempting to print using apps direct on HP Photosmart 6510.... google calendar app. My googlemail.com address is successfully selected and I can enter username and password successfully. It then offers me TODAY or THIS WEEK. when I choose PREVIEW after waiting for HP "connecting to the internet" it takes too long and times out to energy save abandonding the app. When I choose PRINT instead I get an immediate Server Connection Error: -95 "There was a problem connecting to the Server. Touch Retry to connect again, or OK to Exit". Retry provides the same immediate error message over again?
Thanks for any help on this.

Calendar app on ipad air is unstable. it closes immediately I open it.

The Calendar app on my Ipad air closes immediatley I open it. This started after i upgraded to the latest IOS.

Try force closing the app. Double tap the home button. Scroll sideways if needed to bring the icon and preview of the calendar app on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. THen single tap on the home button or the home page preview to exit the mode and try your app again.

Calendar.app not showing First Day of Week selected in iCal

I have selected Monday as the first day of the week in iCal. After syncing, Calendar.app on my iPhone 4 does not show Monday as first day of week. My original iPhone 2G (3.1.3, jailbroken) does show the correct start day, Monday.)
I do not need assistance with my iPhone 2G. I need a solution for my iPhone 4.
How do I get my iPhone 4 to be in sync with my other calendars?

That's a real pain. I'm in Australia and the regional settings have Monday as the first week, which throws me out because all my calendars and even settings in iCal have Sunday as the first day of the week (which is what it's supposed to be). To get what I want, I have to set my country as New Zealand, and this messes up my phone number formats (closest to Australia than any of the others that start the week correctly though). It should be an option in the settings!

Calendar app stuck on year view

iPhone 4S running OS 8.1 - Calendar app stuck in year view. Shows todays date in red but when you try to go to "Today" nothing happens. Any thoughts?

There is more than one place to change time. If you set the time to local, you need to go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>scroll down to the bottom under calendar and set the time zone support there for the local time zone.

List view in Calendar App

Morning.
Is there a way to enable Calendar App to show the end time of events in list view?
Kind regards, Friedrich

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

How to Hide Timezone in Month View in Calendar App?

I live in two timezones and go back and forth often so I use the timezone support in Calendar app for Mavericks and on my iOS devices and it's quite useful. However, one thing about it really stinks, imho.
I cannot find a way to hide the timezone information associated with individual events in the month view of the Calendar desktop application. This redundant and superfluous information results in the truncation of the event information, which *is* important to me.
For example, instead of an event in month view being displayed as "check amex payment", as it was before I enabled timezone support, it now says "check a... 3AM GMT+7". Since every event has this appended timezone information displayed next to it the month view of my calendar has become much less useful than it was previously. I don't really need to know how many hours ahead of GMT an event is, I pretty much just want to know what the event is and on what day, in the month view. Now I cannot tell what any event is unless I open it in in week or day view. Very frustrating.
If anyone knows of a way to hide that information in the month view it would be greatly appreciated to post it here.
thanks Apple Community!

No one else has this problem or knows of a solution? *weeps quietly*

Looking for calendar app that can sync multiple calendar colours in outlook

I Have multiple colour categories in my calendar but need a calendar app that can sync with outlook. Do NOT want to sync with google calendar. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.
Best wishes

Probably the app developers fault but then Apple needs to warn people about compatiblity of apps... I will add a review note to TOP 3 to warn people
If it is an app compatibility issue - it IS the app developers responsibility to make sure that they update their apps in order to work with the new iOS. Apple owes no users a warning whatsoever. Common sense tells me that a very old app that has not been updated for the last two iOS updates just might not make the grade in the third iOS release since the app came out.
I can't even find an App called Top 3 Solitaire in the U.S. App Store. Perhaps the app was so old and it hasn't been updated in so long so it was pulled from the App Store.

After I upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2, calendar app won't open

I recently upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2 on my mac. After the upgrade i cannot open my calendar. I get a message that my mac does not dsupport this app. Can anyone tell me where I can find out what kind of mac would support the calendar app. Is there something I csn do on this computer. I am on an imac 3.2 GHz Intel core i3 with 8 GB of memory.

Please use Finder to locate your Applications folder, then the Calendar app there. Control-click on the Calendar app and choose "Get Info". What version number is shown there? It should be 7.0.
If it is 7.0, click on the Calendar app you just located in the Applications folder. Does it open? If so, drag the old Calendar app off your dock (which will remove it), and drag this one from your Applications folder to the dock (which will add it there). That should solve your issue.

ICloud / Calendar app keeps changing my calendar colors

I just noticed this happening two days ago, the calendar app on my iphone and macbook is changing the colors of my calendars at random. They're only cycling between two colors for each of the 3 calendars (the original color, green, orange, purple and the changed color of blue and purple). I have no idea why it's doing this. No one else has access to my icloud account, and so far I have not noticed any loss of data. I've backed everything up. The same thing is happening on my iphone as well.
OSX 10.8.4, Cal version 6.0 (1648)
It's more of a nuisiance, but I don't want to lose appointments if this is a sign of something else going on. Any ideas?

sorry. please disregard. I did not check out the other threads about this issue.
