Color Text in Monthly View, and event time

Before Mavericks, I preferred events text in Calendars monthly view to match the calendar's color.  Now only a dot before item is not as disticntive.  Is there a way to have event text match the dot's color?
Also, I miss the ability to show event's time in monthly view.

I had the same questions as Bill3; and am still searching for a third-party replacement (thank you Apple for all of the "upgrades" to packaged apps!).
Now we've left the whole skeuomorphic trend, only to hamper usability?  #1- Function; #1.2- Form (it should be close, but still secondary).
An option to put the timestamp to the left of the appoointment?  More than just a tiny colored dot?  Shading for the duration of an appointment (especially if "Busy" is selected)?  Month heading centered, or even left-justified; instead of right-justified?
I work 12-hr shifts, so tend to live in Month View vs Week or Day--just so pumped about degradation of usability.  As annoying as the leather/paper look was, at least it was usable (and with a few tweaks, gone!).
Sorry.  Just sad to see changes made for the sake of change, rather than improvement.

  • ICal misbehaving with iPhone, month view, and events missing

    iCal is giving me problems.
    April will not display at all in month view, and 1 week's worth of events are completely missing, no matter which view I am in.
    My iPhone has all of my events and is up-to-date, but even though I've synced it several times, it doesn't work. I've deleted the com.apple.iCal.plist file as well as the cache, with no luck.
    I'm in Leopard 10.5.8, using iCal 3.0.8
    Thanks in advance for all of your help!

    Can I publish the calendar between two macs that are on a LAN?
    Publishing requires a .Mac account, or WebDAV-enabled server as I mentioned in my previous post.
    To simply share a calendar from on computer to another you can use iCals export and import features.
    Just export a calendar from one computer and import it on the other. It's as easy as sharing a file.

  • Month View - Print Events Without Time

    Is there a way to print events in month view without the time? Alternately, is there a way to print all the words in an all-day event in month view? Sometimes I type a paragraph for an event, and as long as it's a timed event, iCal displays all the words. But if it's an all-day event, iCal only shows the first few words, because it wants to keep it on one line. Printing the time in month view gets in the way sometimes.
    This may be an option that doesn't exist yet, so Apple - help me out please!
    Thanks!

    Sorry to see that no one replied to your post back in October.
    Normally when I notice that someone posted for the first time in Apple Discussions, I open my reply with - "Welcome to Apple Discussions." With my apologies for the lack of responses, please accept a belated welcome and reply to your question.
    Widowwmaker,
    iCal will not print without displaying the times.
    If you are willing to use the Preview application, you could take a screen shot of your preferred iCal window, and print using the Preview print menu.

  • ICal month view some events shown only as ..., they show correctly in other views.

    iCal month view some events shown only as ..., they show correctly in other views.

    This is so utterly annoying- I never had this issue with previous versions of iCal, and I can't even run those versions on tiger now that I've upgraded. The tiger upgrade in general has disrupted my workflow much more than I thought it would-
    Because of the way I use iCal, not seeing the full even title in month mode makes iCal pretty much useless to me. I don't want to have to click between dozens of events that begin with "Renders of" to find which set of renderings are due on which days. Nor do I want to go through and rename all of my "Renders of Levels 1a-3c" etc to make the titles more useful. It should just WORK.
    Well, let me know if anyone finds a better way of making this work other than "resizing ad lib until things sorta show up"

  • Errors when in Month view and how do I show (highlight) the day selected?

    There are some annoying 'bugs' in my ical. When I are working in month view and I select a day in that month to copy or enter an item to there is no indication that ical has that day selected. When I paste some data to that day thinking I have it selected it, it may be in the correct day or in the previously selected day - surely this is an oversight on Apples part or am I missing something here?
    Also sometimes after pasting data to the correct day iCal will 'update' and then send the data back to the day I copied it from!!
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi,
    You don't need to convert to a string and back again to do that.  Use TRUNC to get the right day, and date arithmetic to get the right time, like this:
    UPDATE  fc_gq_source_analysis
    SET     effective_date = TRUNC (sample_date, 'MONTH')
                                 + (sample_date - TRUNC (sample_date))
    WHERE   sample_type  = 'C'
    TRUNC (sample_date, 'MONTH')        is midnight on the 1st of the month that you want.
    sample_date - TRUNC (sample_date)   is the time that you want, expressed as a number of days (e.g., 9/24 of a day).

  • I have a new Macbook pro, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop.

    I have a new Macbookbook, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop. Also i am thinking once the video is done  the fan should be slowing down and getting quiet on its own.

    Your fan(s) will run at high speed (i.e., loudly) while video is playing, and you can't get around that.
    If your fans are not slowing down within 2-4 minutes after CPU- and/or GPU-intensive usage ends, and the application that was showing the video is still running, Quit that application. (In fact, if you're accustomed to Windows, you may not realize that simply closing a Mac application's window does not quit the application. You still need to use the Quit command in the application-name menu. There will always be a bright dot beside or below the application icon in your Dock for each application that is open.) Quit the ones you aren't using, and see whether that allows the fans to slow down without restarting the machine. If that doesn't do the trick, reset the SMC:

  • TS2776 I have my iphone 5 for 7 months now and from time to time, my contacts, without notice, get scrambled, i.e., multiple contacts go into one, or I lose contacts....How does this happen and why?   And is there a quick fix to reset the contacts as they

    I have my iphone 5 for 7 months now and from time to time, and without warning, my contacts get scambled, i.e., multiple contacts become one.   I am losing my patience.   Help.

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

  • Month view and detail view show different times

    I'm importing this calendar:
    http://www.mychurchevents.com/calendar/ical/2330512/public.ics?tz=z88
    Here is my problem:
    The meeting shows in Month view as 10AM, but the details show 9AM.  9AM is the correct time.  It's only a problem during Daylight Savings Time.  I've switched every Time Zone Control I can find with no change, and I don't want to have to change each event.
    This calendar imports perfectly on any iOS device.  This is only an issue in the Calendar app on OS X Mavericks.
    Feel free to import the calendar and work on it.
    Thanks!

    Robert,
    I imported the calendar, and duplicated your observation, until I edited "to:" to display a 1 hour event. I also used my time zone.
    My Screen Shot displays a one hour event which displays the correct start time as follows:

  • Can I change the Lion iCal Monthly View "New Event" from All Day?" Default?

    I have tried all the posted suggestions to change the iCal "new event" preferably in Monthly View from the default of "All Day" but to no avail. This is a current issue so old terminal changes do not seem to work. Anyone have the same issue?

    I also have an issue  with not being able to change  "end times". Four instance if I schedule an event at 9:00 AM iCal defaults to 10:00 AM. I'll click the end time to change it to 4:00 PM  and the time will not change. It defaults back to the same start time or one hour later. I can get the drop down list to appear, but the options are not enough to schedule anything over 3 hours.
    Nor can  change the "add day" default.
    I appreciate any advice/assistance you guys have.
    Thanks!

  • How can I make iCal wrap text in month view?

    Lion iCal only dispays one line of text for each entry in month view.  How do I set it to display two lines, or to wrap the text so the full entry can be viewed? On Snow Lepoard it displayed two lines of the same calendar.

    This is also an issue for me.  The way my entries are put into the calendar put the variable information about the event at the end, which means in order to see what the event is, I have to click each event. Very annoying. I'd love to see a fix for this.

  • Change standard view: remove event time

    In iCal, a lot of visual space is wasted listing the time of an event. Fortunately, the time is unlisted in some cases (e.g., a half hour event in 'week' view), but for 1 hour events or more, the view of the event description is occluded by the start time. This time listing is redundant and unnecessary, since it is also indicated and easily visible to the left of the day columns in 'week' view, for example. Is there a way to remove the time? Any suggested workarounds so that we can see more of our event descriptions at a quick glance?
    thanks in advance.

    this is true, but i'm most interested in turning off times in 'week view', since times are already listed via the grid on which events lie. it sounds like a second radio button in Preferences>General should be added, called "Show/Hide event times in week view".
    apple, are you listening?

  • My Biggest Complaint is the Combined Viewer and Events Window

    I, like most editors, work on two monitors. Personally with FCP 7 I keep my Bins and my Favorite Effects on my second monitor and have my viewer and my Canvas and timeline in the main window.
    Now if I want to make my Events (formerly Bin) usable I would put them on the second monitor, but then the Viewer and where I have to scrub is moved to the second display, and that is really inconvenient as compared to have the Viewer and Canvas window next to each other on the same screen. Why would I want to scroll on a second display and watch so far away.
    This drives me crazy!

  • Multi-month view and birthday alarm

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm really itching to start using the open iCalendar standard. I keep checking out iCal from time to time and I'm getting more and more tempted. But without multi-month and year view, any calendar is quit useless for my needs. My present calendar app lets me set ANY date range to display and print. This allows an overview over an entire project. I find it difficult to understand how Apple created iChat with such a fundamental omission in the first place and still has not fixed it after such a long time.
    Its also a nuisance that iCal for some inexplicable reason does not allow an alarm to be set for birthdays. How can this be? Is this not one of the key reasons for using a calendar?
    Can anyone tell me how I can get Apple's sympathetic ears?
    Cheers leofredo

  • Materialized view and starting time

    Hi,
    There is already this materialized view in the database that starts at Three A.M.:
    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW ovm_position_det
    BUILD IMMEDIATE
    REFRESH FORCE
    NEXT TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 1 + 3/24
    WITH PRIMARY KEY
    I have to create a second one, I wonder if I can write
    NEXT TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 1 + 3.5/24
    To start it at 3:30 A.M.
    (Both take about 10 minutes query time on the production database).
    Many thanks for your help

    Jean
    Yes you can. It's just simple date arithmetic.
    <date> + <number> means <number> days after the date.
    DATE goes down to seconds - so if you want it tomorrow at 3.30 and 20 seconds you can say
    TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 1 + 3/24 + 30/(60*24) + 20/(60*60*24)
    or generally:
    TRUNC(SYSDATE) + days + (hours + (minutes + seconds/60)/60)/24
