Can the day/week/month lines in iCal be made darker?

Is there a way to customize iCal so that a person with Macular degeneration can more easily see it?
It would be great if there was a way to make the lines in the calendar darker thus more visible and also to make the font size larger.
Can this be done... and if so HOW?

hassiman,
The only workaround that I am aware of is to use the Zoom feature of the Universal Access preference.
Since you have that affliction, perhaps you are already aware of it. If not, go to System Preferences...>Universal Access>Seeing>Zoom:> (On). You can then use the keyboard shortcuts to "Zoom in/out. That pane also has an Options... button, which you can click. That will reveal another panel which allows you to choose "Use scroll wheel with modifier keys to zoom. I chose the Control key:
Then you will be able to depress the Control key and use the mouse scroll button to Zoom in, or out of any screen.

Can't change the day, week, month display in Google Calendar

For the past week I haven't been able to change the display of Google Calendar. My default display is a month and that loads just fine. The buttons to change it to the next month, or to one day or one week don't work. Everything else works fine. I can add and edit events. I just upgraded to Firefox 17, but it was happening with Firefox 16.0.2 also. My Google calendar works fine in ME.

HT2513 Unable to change the view on the day, week, month, & year tabs

When I click on the tabs in the iCal window on my iMac, there is no response. It works properly in iCloud.

Sometime over the weekend, it started working. I think it was a conflic between my previous gmail calendar set up, which was also syncing with Outlook at my office. I turned disabled the gmail account on my iphone and stopped the google calendar sync on Outlook.
Now calendar, contacts, and email are all synced up just fine. I have my iphone, my imac, and Outlook on my pc at work all talking to each other without conflict . . . finally!

What happened to search last day, week, month?

On Lion, the "search by" day/week/month isn't in sidebar. Where did it go?

Press Command-F to open the Find version of Spotlight.
Click the first dropmenu (should be showing "Kind" as default) and select any of the 'date' items - Last opened date, Last modified date, Created date.
Then click the dropmenu just to the right of that one, after the word "is" - you can set the day/week/month parameter there.
Note that the second dropmenu is sensitive to the context of the first one - it will change to reflect choices appropriate to the first one.
Also, you can use the "+" button at the end of that line to add an additional row of dropmenus. This allows you to add additional parameters/constraints to the search.

Calender:Obtaining days/weeks/months between a start & end Calendar range

I have a startDate and endDate of Calendar type. From this start and end calendar values I want to obtain all the days/weeks/months.
Eg
Calendar beginDate; // is 14-Oct-2006
Calendar endDate; // is 20-Mar-2007
If I am looking at the months between the two calendar values, I want to be able to know that
[1] there are 6 months
[2] The months are Oct 2006, Nov 2006... Mar 2007 (across years i.e. 2006 and 2007 as well)
I want to be able to have a generic solution to do this at the days and weeks level as well.
Really appreciate all help.
Thanks,

I was able to come up with a solution, if any better is known, please suggest:
Summary of what I did:
[1] First formated the end and start Calendar dates using SimpleDateFormat, and brought it to the 'MMM yyyy' structure, so that I have a common base to compare on
[2] depending on condition, I increment the month and copy the result into an ArrayList that I need for use later.
Snippet of the code is here:
SimpleDateFormat monthYear    = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM yyyy");
ArrayList<String> MonthInDateRange = new ArrayList<String>();
Calendar calTempDate, calStartDate, calEndDate, calCurrentDate;
String StartDateFormat, EndDateFormat;
TempDateFormat = StartDateFormat;
StartDateFormat = monthYear.format(calStartDate.getTime());
EndDateFormat = monthYear.format(calEndDate.getTime());
MonthInDateRange.add(StartFormat); // Starting Month
calCurrentDate = calStartDate;
while ( !(TempDAteFormat.equalsIgnoreCase(EndDateFormat)) ) {
            calCurrentDate.add(calCurrentDate.MONTH, +1);
            TempFormat = monthYear.format(calCurrentDate.getTime());
            MonthInDateRange.add(TempFormat);
Would like to know whether any of you have used a function in Calendar that can help me acheive the same thing, but in a more efficient manner. As I am looking for something generic that I can use at different levels daily,weekly, monthly (currently what I solved above), etc.
Thanks,

I can barely see the day and time numbers in ical. I have tried adjusting contrast but doesn't help. Any suggestions?

Could be corrupt plist try deleting com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
found here by using Finder>Go>Go to Folder (command shift G):
copy and paste:

delete this plist.
now open terminal (Applications/Utilities/terminal.app) and paste the command:

View Modes - Day-Week-Month

Does anyone know of any way to add a quarterly view mode? (in otehr words being able to see 90 days at a time as an added view option - Day/Week/Month/Quarter)
If not, are there any third party workarounds that can modify and provide a 90 day view mode in iCal?
At the very least is there any EFFECTIVE way to communicate and get this easy enhancement added to the upcoming version of iCal.
It is incredibly inconvenient to have to move calendar items to the following month with the restrictive view of only one month. IN other words, if I wanted to move an appointment from February 24 to say March 20 I am forced to manually open the item and type in new dates.
A great system program known as DateBook Pro 4.0 had such a view option and I absolutely miss it EVERY day!

I am experiencing the same symptoms - Day, Week, Month and the Today button are all grayed out. It particularly seems to happen if I've left iCal running overnight. The only way I've found to fix it is to re-start iCal. When this is happening, the only way to navigate to a different week (or month) is to use the menu "Go to date" function. I think the onset of this problem relates to an Apple software upgrade , but I can't be sure which one.

Day/week/Month is gray

all buttons or tabs in the gray bar (including today/next day/week/month) are gray and can't be selected. how do i enable them?

TZ of Day/Week/Month View is US/Pacific - Info Box & System TZ US/Eastern

Just noticed this - don't think its been happening for long - probably a couple of days at the worst.
When I create a New Event, the Time Zone is automatically incorrectly set to US/Pacific. I change it to Eastern (via Info Box) and it displays in the Info Box as Eastern, but the Daily/Weekly/Monthly view seems to remain at US/Pacific. (System prefs set to Eastern TZ).
In addition ALL my events display in Day/Week/Month view as US/Pacific TZ, even tho Info Box TZ (and system TZ) is US/Eastern.
For Example: Info box says event starts at 5PM goes to 9PM, Time Zone is US/Eastern. Calendar Display in Day, Week or Month shows event from 2PM to 6PM.
This has affected every one of my events.
I am running OSX 10.4.9,build 8P135 iCal Version 2.0.5 (1069)
iCal Support for Time Zones turned On.
Date/Time System Preferences appear to be OK
System Time (measured by Menu Clock and verified by save time on a file) is OK - (Am writing this at about 2:40PM EST, Sunday 6/3/2007.

Mini - 1.42 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1Gig (self installed)

It was US/Pacific -
I just changed it to US/Eastern and everything seems to work correctly now. I never even noticed that setting before - I guess I may have reset it by accident?
I see you're from Bristol, UK. A friend told me a few hours ago that he has to make a business trip there sometime this summer and was thinking about bringing his family (from Boston, USA). We were not too clear on English geography tho - is Bristol a decent family vacation destination?

Disconnected Slicer in PowerView - Hour | Day | Week | Month | Year | Max

I want to create a Power View chart in Power BI with the Minute/Hour/Day/Week/Month/Year filters:
Workbook can be downloaded at:https://www.dropbox.com/s/r00btg5zb8snohz/Disconnected%20Slicer%20Demo.xlsx?dl=0
when MINUTE is selected the chart should display:
Total Number of Msgs vs. X-axis showing the last 60 seconds (from current time) with 5 or 10 seconds interval.
when Hour is selected the chart should display:
Total Number of Msgs vs. X-axis showing the last 60 minutes (from current time) with 5 minutes interval.
ex: 10:00AM 10:05AM 10:10AM ...................................11:00AM
when DAY is selected the chart should display:
Total Number of Msgs vs. X-axis showing last 24 hours (12AM to 11:59PM with 1 hour interval)
when WEEK is selected the chart should display:
Total Number of Msgs vs. X-axis showing the last 7 days from current datetime stamp with 1 day interval.
when MONTH is selected the chart should display:
Total Number of Msgs vs. X-axis showing the 30 days from current datetime stamp with 1 day interval
when YEAR is selected the chart should display:
Total Number of Msgs vs. X-axis showing the last 12 months from current day with 1 month interval
It would be great if the PowerView chart can be made to look something like this:
shown in the below link:
When '5 Day' is selected the values in the Y axis and X axis change automatically.

Hi Manjunath,
Currently looking into a possible solution although some of the limitations within Power View restrict how close we can get to the ideal result. Still exploring some approaches :)

Hi,
create 4 formulas for day, week, Month and year
for ex, in Day formula
IF Date Field = CurrentDate then 1 else 0... similarly for other ranges. Create a Group based on employee, and insert a SUM summary field of these formulas in Group header.
Hope this will help you.

The History item in FireFox 7 does not offer more than one day; earlier versions offered day, week & month. Can I have this in version 7?

When selected, the FireFox tab at the extreme leeft of the screen gives a dropdown with two colums. The right hand colums includes History, but, when selected, only gives the history of the day, whereas earlier versions gave the histories of that day, week and prior months.
How can I get this in version 7? Or must I download an earlier version, say 4?
Thanks.

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

How can i re-automate/re-enable the daily, weekly, & monthly 'tasks'

some time ago i was having trouble burning a home video with imovie. one of the suggested remedies was to disable the overnight cleaning up tasks, which i did. however, i'd now like to reset this so that these tasks are once again automated whilst i sleep (currently using MacJanitor).
but i cannot for the life of me work out how to do this. please help.

Open the application TextEdit. Under the TextEdit menu open the Preferences. Under the heading New Document Atributes select the Plain text radio button. Under the heading Default Plain Text Encodings select Unicode(UTF-8) in the drop down menu by Save:. Under the heading Saving check the box Overwrite read-only files. Put TextEdit into your Dock.
From the Finder > Go menu select Go to Folder... Type /etc in the dialog box and press return. Locate the file- crontab. Drag the file onto the TextEdit icon in your Dock. The file should open. Your crontab file probably looks like this:
# /etc/crontab
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
HOME=/var/log
#minute hour mday month wday who command
#*/5 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun
# Run daily/weekly/monthly jobs.
#15 3 * * * root periodic daily
#30 4 * * 6 root periodic weekly
#30 5 1 * * root periodic monthly
You need to remove the # on the following three lines.
#15 3 * * * root periodic daily
#30 4 * * 6 root periodic weekly
#30 5 1 * * root periodic monthly
Save the file and you should be good to go.

Calendar can the day's number be displayed?

A day is displayed with the usual information - the day of the week and the date, and month.
Is it possible to have the number of the day as it relates to the entire year displayed? For example - October 30, 2013 is day 303/365.
Is this feature available in iCal.
Thx

I am not aware of this being a built in feature of iCal, nor is/was week numbers. I suggest trying an internet search for a download which gives you the functionality you need.
Regards.
