Event indicator (dot) appears on every calendar day

I have a recent iPhone 3G with the most current updates available from iTunes. I have no obvious connectivity issues... apps, music, appointments, contacts all sync just fine.
Problem: When I am in calendar month view, a dot appears on every day - including the grey days from previous/next months - even for days that have no appointments. How do I get the errant dots to disappear?
Rich

I have no multi-day appointments. The problem extends indefinitely into the future, and first appears June 2008 (I got the phone in August.) Months prior, May 2008 and earlier, have no indicators.
I deleted every appointment in the iPhone calendar and the problem persists.

ICal Imported Events Don't Appear in One Calendar

Hi,
I'm transferring data off my old Powerbook G4 with OS 10.4.11 to my new Macbook Pro with Lion 10.7.3, and I'm having a problem with importing iCal data.
When I did an iCal database backup import, 8 out of my 9 calendars seemed to be coming through, but one was not showing up at all in any view. So...
I tried to exporting this single calendar into Dropbox and importing it into my new computer's iCal. This attempt gave me an error something like "iCal can't read this file, no data has been transferred." So...
I tried a trick I read about, opening the .ics file in TextEdit, then changing the extension to .vcs and changing the second line Version:2.0 number to Version: 1.0. This only got some of the events into the new iCal, but definitely not all and with seemingly random results - some reapeating events missing, some one-time events, etc.
This is a real problem for me, as I do reference past events a lot. I can't get rid of the old stuff and move forward until I've shifted ALL of my data over, and many events from this calendar are missing.
Does anyone know what's up? Any fixes for this issue?
Many thanks for any help!
Dave

After 3.5 hours on the phone with applecare, I believe this problem of not syncing ical from ipod touch to the ical app is resolved. Here are the steps that made it happen for me:
Log out of main account and log into root account. If you haven't set up the root user yet follow the directions in your Mac Help on your computer. Make sure you understand the implications of setting up the root user account. You may want to disable the root user after you are done with this fix.
In Finder, navigate to /Users/(your account)/Library/Application Support and delete every folder in the Application Support directory that has the word 'Sync' in the folder's name.
Log out of the root account and back into your main account. Sync your ipod touch / iphone and see if this worked for you.
Good Luck!

Dots (events) for every single day in calendar (NEW issue)

Ever since I upgraded to FW 2.0 I have had "dots" appear in every single day of the calendar (symbolizing events) even though I have no events for those days.
Now - I KNOW about the issue with the recurring/repeating events as well as events that "begin" after they "end." That said, I have checked EVERY single event I have in the phone and in the calendar in Outlook and NONE of the events are repeating/recurring and all of them are set up properly with correct start/end times.
From my searching, the above seems to be what's commonly known to cause this problem. Those don't fit MY problem.
The odd thing here is, if I go backward in the month view on the calendar on the phone to February, there are no dots. There are also no events. However, if I go to March on the month view in the calendar, every single day has dots (and continues). The really weird thing here is if you look at the calendar in the month view while it's on March, you can see the last week of February at the top. And in that last week, while in the "March" view, the last week of February ALL has dots. But again, if you move back to "February," all those dots that were there disappear.
So...I'm at a loss now. I've wiped the events off the phone. Edited/pruned/etc. events in the Outlook calendar, and then re-synced with the order to overwrite that which is on the phone. Still no luck. Is this a glitch that needs to be corrected with new FW? Would a restore help? I just don't really know anymore..
Thanks,
John

I am having the same issue. However, I am syncing my calendar to my work computer and the issue presented itself when I upgraded to Office 2007 from 2003. I have since removed Office '07 and did a restore to my iphone which cleared the issue. Then did a sync again to Office 2003 and the issue re-appeared. Not sure if '07 added something to my calendar that is hidden but it is very frustrating.

HT5978 How do I schedule an event every third day?

Dot is shown every day in month view, even with no events

Hi All,
With the latest iTunes update, my outlook calendar sync finally works, however, it has now decided to put a dot on every day in the month view, even on days I have no events. Outlook is still fine, so it does not appear that there is a corrupt event or anything.
Has anyone else seen this and found a fix?
Thanks in advance

Here is the fix that worked for me. I hope it helps you out.
Busy dots on every day of the month?
The iPhone calendar month view shows a dot on every day you have an event scheduled. This allows you to know, at a glance, any "free" days you have with no appointment scheduled. There seems to be a bug with some type of all-day recurring events in Outlook that sync over improperly to the iPhone. This causes the iPhone to become "confused", and show the "busy dot" on every day of the month, whether the day has an event in it or not.
In order to correct this problem, you will need to find the all-day recurring event or events (could be more than one) that are causing this. Without a search function, it takes a little bit of detective work, but it can be done.
1. Browse backwards on your calendar until you find the first day of the month with no "busy dot" in it. This will help you identify when the problem started.
2. Next, find the first instance of the problem - that is, find the first empty day that shows a "busy dot".
3. Once you find that empty day, look at the days before to find an all-day recurring event (other types of events may cause this bug, but I only experienced it with all-day recurring events, such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc.)
4. Edit the event - the start and end dates of the event should be, by definition, the same day. The bug apparently causes the event to sync over with the end date a day before the start date. This creates a situation that the iPhone calendar cannot handle properly, causing the dots to appear on every day from that point on forward. Fix the end date to be the same as the start date.
5. This should fix the problem, at least until the next all-day recurring event. In my case, I had seven events I had to fix. Every time I fixed one, the empty days on the calendar would no longer show a "busy dot", but as I browsed forward, the problem appeared again. I noticed it appeared right after one of these faulty all-day recurring events. When I fixed the event, the days from that day on forward would correct themselves until the next faulty all-day recurring event. Once all seven all-day recurring events were fixed, the "busy dot" no longer appeared on any empty days.

All day events don't appear on my iPhone Calendar-

Or did I make something wrong if my "All day" events don't appear on my iPhone Calendar?

How can I add an event to my calendar that occurs every third day...I have an ipad.

How can I add an event to my calendar that occurs every third day?

Do you happen to have a Mac? If so, and if you use iCloud to sync your calendars, you can do that on your Mac and your iPad will understand. But you cannot create such a repitition (or something like the third Tuesday of each month) on your iPad.
In Calendar on your Mac, you would create the event, choose "Custom ..." as the repitition frequency, then choose "Days" and choose every 3 days.

All-Day Events Don't Appear in Calendar of Today Theme on Verizon 8330 Curve

I have a new Verizon 8330 Curve synchronized with my Outlook desktop calendar.
Using the BB Today Theme, only those calendar events lasting less than one day -- one hour, 15 minutes, etc. -- appear under the calendar on the home screen. No all-day events appear on the home screen.
The Today theme apparently does not recognize all-day events.
This is not acceptable. I have plenty of all-day events in the calendar that ought to be appearing on the home screen, alongside 15-minute events, when they're coming up next.
The Verizon tech people are totally perplexed by this, saying they've not heard of such an issue. They think there may be a problem with the Curve device, and they're sending me a new one.
However, I've seen a fair amount of discussion online concerning this quirk, so it seems like there's a bona fide synchronization problem between the Blackberry calendar/theme and Outlook as it pertains to all-day events.
Could somebody from Blackberry please weigh in with a definitive solution? I can't be the only guy in America who care about the fact that birthdays, anniversaries, etc. are not appearing on the BB home screen under the Today theme.

I take it then you don't have a memory problem. Just to clarify, your events on the calendar are fine, it's just the display
on the home screen where they disappear?
Have you tried a battery pull to reset all options? Pill the battery from the phone while it is ON, leave it out for about a
minute and replace. Leave the system completly reboot 1-2 minutes and see if the problem continues. This is a common fix on these forums.

I cannot add an event on my iPhone or iPad calendars. The "plus" button, or add event button does not even appear when I open the app.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, that did not fix it. I changed the sync setting as you described, but I still don't get my older events. I have turned my IOS devices off and on again too. One more piece of information, the only events I see for October are recurring events. Either one day events like birthdays set to repeat every year, or events within the month that spanned more than one day. No one time events or appointments are showing.

In the last week when changing test notes in Outlook appointments or all day events, the changes appear on my PC, Iphone & Ipad, but when I print my calendar they do not print. I get the old text or deleted text from the printer copy of my calendar. What is going on?

Thanks Sig. The information is here: Anything useful stand out?

My calendar appointments show for future events, but disappear once I reach the day of the event. So I can see tomorrow's appointments now, but they will be gone tomorrow. Why is this happening? It's on my iPhone and iPad.

My calendar appointments show for future events, but disappear once I reach the day of the event. So I can see tomorrow's appointments now, but they will be gone tomorrow. Why is this happening? It's on my iPhone and iPad.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Create event every other day in iCal

How do I create an event that occurs every other day ?

A work around for the repeat patterns that the iPad can't create, make them in your computer's calendar program and then sync them to the iPad. It will honor repeats from other places, even if it can't create the pattern itself.

Calendar/Notifications: Every other day.

Either using the calendar or 'notifications', I need to have the option of repeating an event every-other-day. I see no option for this in the calendar or notifications. Also, my only computer access is through this iphone.
Does any way exist for setting up an every-other-day option?
I'd rather not have to use/buy an app.
I have the original iphone 5.
thank you for any help.

In the iOS Calendar app the "Repeat" options for an event are every day, week, 2 weeks, month, or year -- no every-other-day option. It might be a little more work to set up, but create 7 separate events, staggered every-other day, each with a repeat of 2 weeks. That will give you the same result.

IOS 7 Calendar Day View does not show any all-day events ?

Hi,
I realize that iOS 7 Calendar Day View does not show any all-day events.
Is this a bug ?
Any help given is much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards.

Mine brings me right up to the current time, or in the case of another day, it takes me to the first appointment of the day.
