Default iCal Display to Current Day/Month?

Whenever I open iCal on Yosemite 10.10.1, it by default displays the last month/day I was viewing when previously exiting the app. Is there any way to have iCal display the current day/month by default at launch?

In case anyone else is looking for a solution to this, I'm come up with a temporary hack. It is a shell script that clears out the most recent calendar view, which results in the Calendar app opening to the current day/month. I've setup a crontab job to run the script every 10 minutes. It's not a perfect fix, but it does the job just fine.
The script/terminal command:
/usr/bin/defaults delete com.apple.iCal "CalFirstVisibleDate"
To install a crontab job which runs the script periodically (every ten minutes in this case), insert the following line into your crontab config (run crontab -e from terminal):
*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/iCalDateReset.sh
This assumes that you have installed the script as /usr/bin/iCalDateReset.sh

Customer Exit variable to display the current Year/Month by default.

Hi Experts,
I need to create a variable on the object 0CALMONTH that needs to display the current Month/Year by default when the query is run.
Can anyone please help with the ABAP code that is required for the creation of this Customer Exit Variable?
Thanks

Hi,
try this , just copy and paste in your Editor,
Data: Year(4) type c,
      month(2) type C,
      date(6) type c.
IF I_STEP = 1.
CASE I_VNAM.
    WHEN 'VAR_X'.
      l_s_range-low = sy-datum+0(6).
      l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      year = l_s_range.
      l_s_range-low = sy-datum+4(2).
      l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      month = l_s_range.
      concatenate year month INTO date separated BY '/' .
      Append date to e_t_range .
ENDCASE.

How to display the current day value in Numbers app?

In Numbers 3.2.2, where the current date and time happens to be 17 Dec. 2014 11:46am:
What formula will display the current date's numeral value?
What formula will display the current month's short name as text?
What formula will display the current year in four digits?
What formula will display the current time in the style "11:46am"?
Appreciated.

I've taken the liberty of tweaking that handy script to format the date as requested by the OP:
on run {}
set right_now to (current date)
set short_month to text 1 thru 3 of (month of right_now as string)
set the_year to year of right_now as string
set the_day to day of right_now as string
set short_time to text 1 thru 5 of time string of right_now
set the_secs to time of right_now
if (the_secs / 2 as integer) < 21600 then
set am_pm to "am"
else
set am_pm to "pm"
end if
set s to space
set text_date to the_day & s & short_month & ". " & the_year & s & short_time & am_pm
set the clipboard to text_date
my paste_date()
end run
on paste_date()
tell application "Numbers"
activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "v" using {command down}
end tell
end tell
end paste_date
This considers 11:59:59 to be "am" and 12:00:00 to be "pm". (Edited after further consideration.) It has to be run either as an Automator service, or saved in ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Numbers/ and run from Numbers' script menu. If run from Script Editor, it pastes the date into the end of the script itself.
Hope it helps,

Set default value based on current day value and setItems in Design studio

Hello
I have 2 filters on my dashboard - year and month. The default display of the dashboard should populate current year data. Is it possible to create formula to populate dynamic default value based on the current date using setSelectedValue() ?
Also, for the calendar month, the items are set as below
DD_MONTH.setItems(DS_1.getMemberList("0CALMONTH",
MemberPresentation.INTERNAL_KEY, MemberDisplay.TEXT, 12, "ALL");
This displays month values as 01/2014, 02/2014 ... How can I change these value to display as January if mm = 01 and February if mm = 02 etc..
Thanks
Sirisha

Hi Victor,
I have tried using below statment to populate current year as the default selection value for the dropdown. Used it on Startup, but for some reason it loads all the data when the dashboard is opened the first time. Any ideas?
DS_1.setFilter("0CALYEAR",[Convert.subString(APPLICATION.getInfo().dateNowInternalFormat, 4,6)]);
Thanks

... but I have problem on edit the records. How to get the dropdownlist display the current day,month and year
I *knew* you´re going to ask this question
The attached screenshot "screen_update_query" shows how to...
a) utilize some of MySQL´s Date and Time Functions to extract the day, month and year from a datetime column (here named "col_datetime")
b) extract the hh:mm via a DATE_FORMAT pattern
All four information units would be pretty much useless without defining a Column Alias (e.g. AS day)
The second screenshots shows how to tie the values of one of your dynamic lists (e.g. the list of days) to the respective Column Alias by using the "select value equal to" feature.
That´s it !

Is there a way to default the monthly calendar display so that the current day always shows on top?

Is there a way to default the monthly calendar display
so that the current day always shows on top? ie, I want to always be able to see what's in the future 3-4 weeks, not what's in the past 3-4 weeks. The default monthly display is archaic--only allows you to see through the last day of the month. Suddenly today
is Oct. 30th, and I have a ton of projects lined up in November, but because I haven't been scrolling down every day, I haven't been aware of them every day. I realize there are other tools in Microsoft to help me stay on task, such as reminders and such,
but it would be helpful if I could always have the current day display on top of the monthly view so I can quickly scan what's coming up in the next few weeks.

Thank you!
Right, I already have it in Month view. My question is a little more specific--I'd like for the current day to always display at the top. For example, today is Oct. 31st, so the current day is at the bottom of the calendar since it is the last day of the month.
I can view everything in October that I've already completed. What I can't see are the future weeks because we haven't hit November yet. I'd like for the current day to always display at the top of my calendar so I can always see what's coming in the following
three - four weeks (whether they're a part of that month or not). I've been to other forums trying to find the answer, and have come across the same exact question from frustrated users--but there seemed to be no solution. So I'm posing the question myself
in this forum. Do you know if this is possible? What I found from other forums is that Outlook defaults to a physical 'desk' type calendar format--so just as I'd use a paper calendar at my desk, I wouldn't be able to see the following weeks unless I either
flip the page to that month or I come to the first day of the next month, thereby tearing the the old month off and now only able to see the current month. That format is just so...paper...and archaic! Essentially I want the calendars to loop so it doesn't
even really matter what month it is--I just always want to see what lies ahead without having to scroll down. With our being in the Technology Age, I'd assume this is a logical expectation, but we may be stuck with the replica version of the paper-desk-calendar
format until Outlook programmers add this Technology Age feature in newer versions.
See, this month kind of messed me up because I have so many projects for November that start tomorrow and next week, but I haven't seen them until this week. I would have been better quipped--at least expecting them--had I been able to see all of those projects
since last week or the week prior.
If there is no solution to this answer, would you know how I can contact Outlook to provide feedback? I'm guessing a newer version is on its way...
Thanks again in advance!

Why won't iCal display multi-day events in month view?

This is frustrating. If someone sends me a calendar event that lasts multiple days from Calendar software that ACTUALLY WORKS (hint hint hint Google Calendar, Outlook), and if I accept this event, it only displays the FIRST DAY of the event in iCal's month view. It should put a solid bar through every date included in the duration of the event. How is it that this has not been fixed yet???

Bug or design flaw?
Try setting it as a recurring event (yeah, I know, it's not a great solution, but it gets the job done)

How do I display more than one month calendar in the day-view?

iCal has always had a nice feature that allowed me to display little, what I call, mini-month calendars while in the day-view. This allowed me to quickly jump to a day two or three (or more) months ahead (or behind) to check appointments on that day or set an appointment, without switching out of the day-view.
The mini-month was a small clickable calendar that looked something like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
22 23 24 25 26 27 28
There was also a forward and backward arrow box [ < ][ > ] that allowed me to quickly scroll to the mini-month to find the day I wanted to click into. And, if I wanted to give it more room by adjusting the frame, I could display up to three months at a time within my day view.
Since upgrading iCal to 5.0 with the Lion upgrade, I can no longer display more than the current mini-month calendar on the day view.
This is REALLY inconvenient. Now, there is no way (that I know of) for me to stay in the day view and be able to jump ahead to a specific day two or three months out, or even to a day in the NEXT month without either going to the year view (a big waste of time) or click on the last day of the current month and then clicking the ">" day arrow to get to the next day which then shows that month's mini-calendar.
How do I display more than the current month's mini-month calendar in the day view on Lion?

Unfortunately you can't do what you want. Many people have complained to Apple about this. I suggest you provide Apple feedback directly at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html. They will not provide a direct response but hopefully if enough people provide feedback Apple will fix this.

Current day not highlighted in month view!

after updating to: OS X 10.4.9, the current day is not highlighted in the calendar view in ical. the current day is highlighted in the day and week views, just not the month. I cant find any way of turning it on. Has anyone else had this problem after uptating the system OS to 10.4.9? any help would be appreciated. it is quite annoying.

I've found a solution to this problem that has been bugging me for months. As others have reported, the "today" highlight in iCal had disappeared. I also noticed a similar problem when using Gmail. Gmail highlights read mail with a blue background on the mail item in the main list. This also disappeared. Strangely, I would see both of these highlights reappear for a moment when I did fast user-switching to a different account. Just before the Mac would switch to another account, the screen would darken and those highlights would appear. This seemed to indicate that the problem wasn't with the applications but rather with the system.
Here's how I fixed this: I went to the Display system preferences. I selected the Color tab. THe display profile was Cinema Display. I selected another profile (in my case I chose Adobe RGB (1998)). Immediately, the missing highlights reappeared. I then reselected Cinema Display and the highlights remained (although slightly lighter).
Somehow, the display profile got changed enough to wash out those light blue highlights, but switching profiles brought them back.
This worked for me on my Apple Cinema LCD display. I don't know if this will work on another brand LCD display or on a CRT. But at least I've found a way to bring these highlights back. I'll be curious if this solves anyone else's problem.

ICal displaying events that last more than one day?

Can I change the way iCal displays an event lasting many days (particularly in the Month view)? For example, if I put in a vacation lasting 1 week, or a conference lasting 3 days.
I would just like it to look the way it does on my iPad, iPhone, or Google Calendar. These all display events with a labeled, colored bar spanning the days (the iPhone has dots).
Hopefully this is just a simple setting change....

Hi Stephan,
I use the following settings:
1. One Subform that has:
- Type: Flow content
- Dir: Top to Bottom
- "Allow page breaks" checked
- "Repeat subform .." NOT checked
2. Within that I have two subforms:
A. One is used as a one-time header:
- Type: Position content
B. Used as the repeating data:
- Type: Flow content
- Dir: Western Text
- "Allow page breaks" checked
- "Repeat Subform ..." checked
- Min count=1, Max not checked
With those settings the table data is spanned across several pages.
Enjoy,
Kim

Highlighting current day in month view of calendar

Apple shows the day highlighted in all their promo images. I searched this forum and the latest entries are 2006 and 2007. Since Apple is showing this, it should be possible. But how?
For instance, one plans a trip of two weeks. I'd like the weeks of the trip to have the squares shaded in so that the two weeks stand out. And then I can put events in the square also ...
Thanks for your help.

Diane,
Unfortunately, what you are requesting is not a feature in any version of iCal. I suggest that you provide Apple - iCal - Feedback.
The visibility of the current day highlight color is subject to the whims of the hardware and user settings. You may want to try adjusting the color of your display by using System Preferences...>Displays>Color>Calibrate..., and also System Preferences...>Universal Access>Seeing>"Enhance contrast:"

ICal still shows previous day in ical proper, but shows current date in the dock

iCal is open in the MONTH, on my desktop permanently, but it continually shows yesterdays date. It isn't till I actually click on the following day in iCal proper that the date changes to the current date. The iCal icon on the dock works fine with no issues. When I first purchased the iMac iCal worked aok. Software is continually updated.

I have the same issue. I am also running iCal 5.0.2 under Lion 10.7.3. It worked fine for me on Lion 10.7.2, and it still works ok for me on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1. It does look like a bug to me. I have the issue connecting to a Google Calendar as well as to another (non-Apple) CalDAV server.
Let me know if you call Apple Support to report this issue.

Current day in month view

In month view, I used to be able to see the current day in a slightly colored box. now all days are all in white. off to the left there is a blue box around the current day but I would like the big view to have the color. It makes it difficult for your eye to be drawn right to the current day.

In my iCal, the current day is just ever so slightly shaded a light shade of blue. This "concern" has been expressed many times, so I think expressing your thoughts to Apple is the best you can do for now: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html
