Calendar is now unusable on the iPhone

I used to use iCal on the iPhone and it was great, the only view I used most of the time
was list view where it listed all the up and coming events on one screen for each and every day.
All I had to do was scroll. Perfect!.
In the new Calendar this option has been removed and replaced with the day view.
The day view is for me with average eyesight unusable. I don't need glasses to drive.
All the events are viewed through a "letterbox" view that takes up less than half the iPhone screen.
In this letterbox view the lettering is much too small to read, even after selecting all the enhancements possible in the phones preferences in order to make the text bigger and bolder.
So I now have only two views in the Calendar.
1. Teeny tiny letterbox view (Today)
or
2. A utterly pointless view of say November where it shows me no information whatsoever except the days
of the month with little dots under them?.
What on earth is going on here?
On a tiny screen like the iPhones the old iCal made a very good go indeed at showing relevant information regarding my working week.
On the iPhones screen now using Calendar I am now finding that I don't want to use it because it's too much hassle, too small text and everything shown through a tiny letterbox view with the text too small, did I mention that?.
I'm now looking for alternatives which is such a pity because I greatly respected apple design for apps.
After my little complaint about Calendar all I really want is to be told how to get back my list view or to be told of an alternative.
Thank you.

    I bought a Iphone 4S in Colombia two months ago, It never worked properly, I cant put turn it on.  When I went to Movistar they told me that it was a problem with the software.  Now, they have the Iphone for repair at Movistar.  The questios is, If I bought a NEW Iphone why they gave me a Iphone with this problem.  I asked about the warranty but they told me that Apple doesn't respond.  Please tell me something.  The IMEI is: 013071008363505 is a Iphone 4S  16GB.  Black.

    I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.

  • I changed my Apple password, and now one of the iPhones on my account cannot do FaceTime.  It says that it has to be activated....help, my grand daughter is going to assassinate me!!!

    Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
    Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.

  • HT1296 I am using Google Calendar.  I just bought an Iphone.  I got it to sync.  Everything on my Google calendar did go on my Iphone calendar.  But now I want the Iphone calendar to send and change the Google calendar.  How do I get that to happen????

    This is a question?????????
    I just bought an Iphone 5s.  I did what Google said to sync their calendar to my new Iphone calendar.  Guess what it worked.  But I want the Iphone calendar to send back to the google calendar and it is not doing that. So the question is Is this possible?????  If so how do I do it????

    Yeah, you fried the phone big time.
    Go into iMessage settings and set the Caller ID to your phone number.

  • I emailed my Outlook calendar to myself and opened it on the iPhone, I accepted all appointments to the apple calendar, they show fine on the iPhone but do not sync to all other devices, why?

    I use Outlook at work, I email the next week's calendar to my iPhone.  I then open the email in apple mail on my iPhone and click "accept all", which populates all events onto my apple calendar.  All good so far.  Now I open my iPad, mac etc and the events are never sync'd over.  I test by creating new test events on iPhone and iPad and Mac and they all are able to create events that instantly sync to all other devices, cool.  If I open an event on the iPhone that was pulled in from the emailed Outlook calendar, and then hit edit then save, magically it shows up on all devices.  But that is for that event only.  The Outlook calendar I sent and accepted into the iPhone calendar had 35 events, it is too cumbersome to open each and hit edit/save so that they will all sync to all apple calendars on my various devices.  Help!

    You should be able to set up numerous IMAP accounts on your iPhone with no problems.
    IMAP will not sync contacts and calendars in your local copy of Outlook.

  • I had an iPod touch in the past.. Now I have the iPhone. And I got an iTues card and I can't purchase anything because it's asking for a security question since I've never purchased anything on this device yet.. I don't know the answers to the questions?

    I had an iPod touch in the past and used an iTunes card to purchase songs, I now have the iPhone and again bought an iTunes card to purchase things. Since I have not purchased anything on this device yet it is asking me two security questions that I don't know the answers to. What do I do?

    The Security Questions are not associated with your device - they are associated with your iTunes account/AppleID. If you cannot remember what you originally set up for your security questions, here are the instructions for getting them reset. First set are for if you set up a Rescue Email address, second set are for if you did not.

  • First time i sync since the new update and i keep getting this:" contacts and calendars cannot be synced on the iphone" and everytime i click on it itunes times out and shuts down

       what should i do?! nothing is working! i tried turning it off and on (and by it i mean phone and laptop) nothing's working ! 

    With my fingers crossed I uninstalled the updated iTunes that led to the problem.  Then went to the iTunes.com site to download the full version.  After the install was finished I connected the iPod and it detected and synced the iPod without any further issues.  I don't get the error, Contacts and calendars cannot be synced on the iPod "%1$S", any more.

  • How do I color coordinate my husband's calendar entries with mine on the iPhone 4S.  We have synced our calendars and we each had our own color but now the colors are the same.

    Sorry - not sure how to ask a question - or start a discussion.  See my question above.

    When you say "use the same purchasing apple ID for both to share books/music apps"- will this allow him to see what apps I download on his ipod (don't want)? will this allow me to continue to see what apps/games he gets on his ipod, on my phone (do want)? and do I set those changes on both devices?
    To do this:
    iPhone: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads:
         Music: ON
         Apps: ON
         Books: ON
    iPod: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads:
         now you decide what he gets automatically.
    He doesn't use game center, imessage, facetime or anything else (mainly just games, music and picture taking)- so does he really need his own apple id and email address? also- if he wants to start getting text messages, would i still have access to all of them if he has his own apple id? would i have access to them if he stays on my apple id?
    Then he doesn't need an Apple ID.
    Switch in
    Settings > Messages >
         iMessage: OFF
         Send & Receive > Apple ID: > sign out
    Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime: OFF

  • TS1702 I was working in my ipad 3 with splashtop for many time. Now i get the iphone 5. i donwload the splashtop2 . but both divice gave me a trial for 7 days now remain 5 days. I deleted the app and install again but still expire in 5 day Anywhere access

    I need to know what is the problem. Because in my Ipad 3 the splashtop was working good until i download the same app for my iphone 5. Now in anywhre access pack expires in 7 days ,now remaind 5 days.

    The trail period is likely tied to your AppleID, not a specific device, and begins when you download the app.

  • Hi, I have an iPhone that one of our usesrs had who has now left the company, but I now see that the iPhone has had FindMy iPhone activated so I cannot access the phone. Any idease anyone how I can get it working again?

    Can anyone help please?

    Understood, but of course the registered owner is not necessarily the user. As this is a business phone, the registered owner is my company and not the particular user. Using Find My iPhone on iCloud sort of negates those ownership rights I guess. It is nigh on impossible to turn off this facility on all corporate iPhones. Perhaps we should all lobby Apple so as to protect our rights.
    Thanks for your input

  • The calendar on the imac is not syncing with the iphone?

    The calendar on my macpro, operating system OS X 10.6.8,  does not sync with the iphone?  When I look up on the info tab in itunes, the calendar is checked to sync

    Completely by serendipity I just fixed this!
    I was perplexed as to why all my events showed in iCal on my computer, but only some events would show in iCal on my iphone.
    All day events were not showing, appointments weren't showing and neither was work, but social events were, no matter how many times i tried to sync my iphone with my MacBook Pro. Hmmm strange.
    So I only just figured it out accidentally when on iCal on my iphone that if i click the 'calendars' tab in the top left hand corner, it takes me to a list of all my created calendars (and their colours) that I have in iCal.
    If you tap on a certain calendar it will display only those events. Eg. I tapped on my calendar 'appointments >', and iCal only displayed all of my appointment times on my iphone and not the other events.
    If I tap on 'work >', it displays all work events. Etc.
    Is this making sense??
    NOW:
    If you go back to the 'calendars' tab on iCal on the iphone and tap on 'All >'...
    then
    Hooray!!! All your events will be displayed.
    Hopefully! :P
    Hope this helps!!

  • I lost my calendar on the iphone

    I lost my google calendar on my iphone.    somehow, it just stopped appearing.   then i added in an event, and the entire calendar re-appeared.
    but then when i turned off the phone and turned it back on, it was gone again.   this kept happening so i went to see if others were having the same problme. 
    i read a post that said to delete my gmail account from my phone and then re-install.  i did it and now my google calendar is 100% gone and i can't get it back!!
    anyone having this problem?

    I have iCloud set on my iphone, ipad and mac. But, for some reason, my mac has no calendar and now neither does my iphone.  Fortunately my ipad has my calendar - but I must get that back on my iphone.  I haven't synced by ipad to anything manually - but I assume icloud should have everything.  When I added an appt on my iphone calendar - it immediately duplicated on my ipad.

  • How do I remove a "calendar" from the iPhone?

    I have a First Gen iPhone with up to date software. I recently deleted a calendar from my MacBookPro and that calendar won't delete from the iPhone. I used to have three calendars in iCal which synced to the iPhone. One was my home calendar, one was work and one was a Quicken Calendar that I didn't set up. I deleted the Quicken calendar from the computer and want it deleted from the iPhone, but can't figure out how. I went into setting in the iPhone and there is no where to delete a calendar. Thanks.

    I had a calendar stuck in the phone that didn't exist on my laptop. I had to go into iSync and reset sync history to get rid of it.
