Events not showing time in iCal

I just lost my hard drive last week and now I'm re-entering everything. I'm trying to put my calendar events back into iCal and it no longer shows the time next to the event on the calendar. It used to say for example: "Dr. Appt-3:15" but now it only shows the event and not the time. Is this a change in the last week or do I have some sort of glitch? I do not want to have to click on an event to see the time, I want to just see it all at a glance. I have done all updates.
Also, maybe someone could explain to me the difference between "New Calendar" and "New Calendar Group"?

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Is this in Month view? Go to the iCal menu and open Preferences. Under General there is a check box for 'Show time in Month view.'.
Calendars are how you group events (i.e. make them the same colour). Calendar Groups are how you group calendars (you could have a 'Work' group and a 'Play' group with multiple calendars under each), you can then easily show and hide sets of calendars.

  • All day events not showing up in iCal

    On my iMac I cannot enter an all day event in iCal.  All day events entered via my iPhone or Mobile Me also do not show up on the iMac.  Just upgraded to Lion, no problem before this!

    Hi Linda,
    Open iCal and from the View menu check that Show All-Day Events is checked.

  • Suddenly, events entered in Calendar on iPhone are not showing up in iCal or iCloud

    Until late November, i had an iPhone 4s with iOS 5.   Then i got an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.  As previously, when i would enter an event in the Calendar, that data would also show up in my iCal calendar and on my iCloud calendar, until the last couple of days.  Now, new entries are not showing up on iCal or iCloud.  I encountered the problem that my iPhone, 64G, is being backed up to the iCloud and after two backups, taking up 2.4G each, my 5G of iCloud storage was used up.  I speculated that this was why my phone data stopped syncing to the other calendars on the computer and cloud, though i did not know for sure.  I deleted one of the two back ups and am about to delete the other one.  I have never had this problem of running out of iCloud storage on my other phone.  According to Settings>iCloud>Storage, i had 89MB.  But since i have deleted one of the 2.4G backups (which was "incomplete") my new entries are still not showing up in iCal and on the iCloud.
    Is there a way to get this feature to work again?
    Are there things i can check or uncheck in settings or in Calendar or  ??   that will get this to work well as it did in iOS 5?

    ckuan -  thank you for replying.  i am really desperate for help.  I have wasted so much time on this. I was on hold with Apple support for a long time and then had a call with a rep that lasted over an hour but he didn't know anything about issues of these kinds.  i was put on hold a lot while he consulted.  He did agree that the data wasn't syncing from iPhone to iCloud and iCal because the iCloud storage was used up by the iPhone back ups.  So he advised deleting one of them.  I now have 2.4G of storage on iCloud.  Am i wrong to think that should be enough?   I still ave the original complete back up (2.4g) undeleted, in case there some reason that i need it. i don't like deleting things i don't have a good understanding of.
    Following your instructions, i went to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.  I then scrolled down to Calendars and at the bottom, i see where it says Default Calendar.  This raised new questions for me which i will ask you/others now:
    On the Default Calendar page, there is a heading that says iCloud and there is a second heading that says my gmail email address, [email protected].  Under the iCloud heading, there is a list of 8 "calendars," called Work, Family, Pets, Home, etc.  Under the gmail address heading, there is only one option listed, which is my gmail username.  When i went to the Default Calendar option, as i think you suggested if i understood you right, i found that the Calendar with the checkmark next to it was the gmail user name, under the gmail address heading.  Presumably, this is the same setting i had on my 4s with iOS 5.
    I wanted to follow your instruction to change this to iCloud as Default Calendar. but the only option i have is to choose only one of those 8 "calendars," either Work, or Pets, or Home, etc.  Does this make sense?   The only reason i know for having these many different calendars was to give different colors to the different event categories. I didn't really want them to be separate calendars. i just wanted to use the color coding for type of event in my overall calendar.
    I don't know why this is suddenly so complicated and confusing, after working fine  for the first two or three weeks i've had the new iPhone.  Suddenly, when i enter events in Calendar, it's not reaching the cloud.  If this is because my gmail and/or google user name was checked as the default calendar, that was not a setting i would've recently changed.  I never would  have set my iPhone to only use one of the iCloud sub-calendars at my default calendars.
    But right now, per your instructions, i have checked Settings>Mail.Contacts,Calendars>Calendars>Default Calendar to iCloud>Home (Home being one of my 8 sub-calendars).  When i look on the Mail,Contacts,Calendars setting list, under Default calendar, it now says Home, instead of my gmail username.  Just to be clear, there is no way to check iCloud on the Default Calendar page.  i have tried checking it, but it's just a somewhat grayed out heading and doesn't respond to attempts to check it, it's not offered as a Calendar option. Only the various sub-calendars are offered a default calendar options, under the grayed out iCloud heading.  So, i selected Home, for no particular reason. i have lots of entries under different categories.
    Here is the result:   still no new entries showed up in iCloud or iCal.  In January, a couple of days ago,  i entered three dental appointments, for which i have always used Health as what i thought was a category (not a separate  "calendar").  The color of Health events is green.  The color of Home events is Blue.  After changing the Default Calendar from gmail email address>user name to iCloud>Home (blue), the dental appointment in January did not show up.  But when i went into the first dental appointment event>edit and changed the "calendar" to Home, it then showed up on the calendar.  The other two dental appointments which were still Health did not show up. 
    Then, i changed the first dental appointment that is showing up in January back to Health (green).  It still shows up, now, colored green, even though Home/blue is now my default calendar.  But the two other dental appointments are not showing up.
    Does this mean if want to use my Calendar and have the data backed up in iCloud and iCal, from now on, i need to use only one sub calendar and give up  using the different color codes because iOS 8 is forcing me to choose only one sub calendar to be my whole calendar, and the only way to use different colors for different categories of events would be to first enter it as the default sub calendar (such as dental appointment>Home), and then go back and edit it into the correct sub calendar (such as changing it to the correct category, Health) to show the correct one instead of the "default" one?
    Why was this made so much more difficult and complicated than it used to be?  It was working normally up  until a couple of days ago.
    What i need, if possible, is info on what setting i can use to go back to using my gmail address user name as my default calendar, so that it can just work properly as it did before.  It seems ridiculous that i am forced by iCloud to use a sub category as my default calendar and everything that isn't entered as that subcategory will not be processed in iCloud.  Why does iCloud provide these sub calendar category options at all, if it's going to force people to only be able to use one of them?
    What am i missing here?
    Is there a setting that would enable combining all subcategories as one calendar, called iCloud, but where i could still use the different colors for different categories?  

  • Events not showing in iCal, but do on my iTouch Calendar

    I am syncing my iCal 3.0.7 with GoogleCalendar using Calgoo connect 2.1.3. It uploads new events to my gCal, but if I create new events in gCal, they won't show up on iCal. I thought this was a Calgoo problem, but when I sync my iTouch with my computer, the invisible events will become visible on the iTouch, but still invisible on iCal.
    Any ideas? Is there a setting on iCal to make certain events within a calendar invisible that I'm missing? All the "hide to do" options in iCal preferences are unchecked.

    I found this solution in another discussion. It's from this website: http://iphonewriter.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues .html)
    "You'll know the syncing issue when you see it, because the new events you enter into the Calendar on your Apple iPhone will not appear in iCal. Said another way, you'll enter a new event into your iPhone, use iTunes to sync with your Mac (or MacBook in our case) and the new event on your iPhone will not show up in iCal. Keep trying, synch as you might, iCal and the Apple iPhone just won't get along.
    Here's the down and dirty fix:
    Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    Re-Open the iCal application and Restore your calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier.
    At this point all my appointments were showing up properly in iCal, and did not disappear after syncing again with the iPhone.

  • Events not showing in iCal after sync with iPhone

    A whole week of appointments don't show up in iCal after syncing with my iPhone - all the appointments are on my iPhone but they won't copy over.
    Funnily enough, the week that is not showing up is changing every Monday...
    Anyone seen this before?

  • My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

    My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

    I found this tip from a 2011 discussion on the same topic.
    Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
    Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
    Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
    Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
    That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.

  • ICal events not showing

    Ever since I upgraded to OS Mavericks, some of my events are not showing up on iCal in the month view, particularly Sunday events that start at 12:00AM.

    Instead of syncing ALL calendars, I selected a few and then synced. After syncing, I selected "Sync ALL" and all my calendars were sent to iPhone successfully. Hope this helps.

  • ICal events not showing in calendar

    I have an issue syncing iCal with my iPhone. I do believe it is an iCal problem though.
    Some events in iCal don't get synced to the iPhone and one event that does not show up in iCal shows up on the iPhone after sync.
    Does anybody have any suggestions for troubleshooting iCal? Maybe repairing the iCal database? Tracing down problem events/calendars?
    Thanks

    Instead of syncing ALL calendars, I selected a few and then synced. After syncing, I selected "Sync ALL" and all my calendars were sent to iPhone successfully. Hope this helps.

  • Actual date hours PROBLEM - Displaying or not "Show time" in "User preferences"

    Hello,
    This is my current issue. I have a 5 days calendar with hours 7AM -> 8PM.
    AM ->When I check "show time" in "user preferences", I show the good hours in ES and EF. When I apply AS and AF, AUTOMATICALY the good default hours are applied if i change the date (7AM -> 8PM)...
    But, if i check, "do not show time" in "user preferences" and then i apply AS and/or AF changing date, PRIMAVERA apply automaticaly 00:00 in the hour ans "forget" the hours of the calendar...
    It represent a big big problem for me, first of all in the gantt representation.
    Any idea to fix this issue ?
    Thanks

    I think you need to do setting in grantt chart view setting..as Day,Week,Month in stead of user preference as " do not show time".

  • Photos event not showing date, shows some irregular words

    Photos event not showing date

    Thank you Btabz. Is there anyway out of purchasing iphoto4? Can't I just use my folders? If I had a pc, i don't think I would need a specific program like iphoto4. do you know of any other applications/ ways to transfer photos that might help?
    Yes, I thought that iTunes would just sync with the folder. I had about 1300 pictures, and for some reason or another I had renamed about 20 of them, and they're the only ones that transfered to my ipod. By "renamed," I mean that I changed the Digital Camera's label of something such as "Fxl0004_21" to "Sunset picture."
    I know that sounds strange, but that's what happened. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
    Thank You.

  • Calendar events not showing in ical

    when i input an event or an invoice out of quickbooks as an all day event it puts the from: date later than the to: date. and does not show up in the calendar until i go in every time and change it to match or make the from date earlier than the to date.

    This is a schema issue with QuickBooks, and you'll have to continue to update these items by hand until the issues is addressed by the Intuit programming team. I cannot believe that they are not already aware of it, but you should report it anyway.
    On its face, it is ridiculous for them to create an event with an end point value which occurs prior to the start point value. All day events cannot end before they start! Actually, no event can end before it starts…
    By definition, an all day event in iCal is one which starts on a particular date at 12:00:00 +0000 and ends at 12:00:00 +0000 on the next day. For example, an all day event on March 15, 2006 is represented in the truth [when pushed from iCal] as:
    2006-07-15 12:00:00 +0000
    2006-07-16 12:00:00 +0000
    NOTE: I didn't pick those representations and that's not the way I would have chosen to do it, but it is what the iCal programming team has done.
    As a user, you don't see the time values, and the date representation in the inspector panel is shown [for the above example] as:
    07/15/06
    07/15/06
    Again, an all day event cannot end before it starts. So the data provided by the Intuit application is invalid: in effect, the event they have defined does not exist.

  • ICal multi day event not showing on screen

    Help ! When using iCal, I am stumped as to how to make multi day events show up on the appropriate days .... I enter an event for say 3 days, on my screen I see it in iCal only on day one, it does not show up on day two or three however when I print my calendar, it does print on all the appropriate days. Is there a setting to change so it shows up on my screen on all the days like it does when I print ? Thanks!

    Hi there,
    So, that's in Week or Month view you are talking about?? ... it only shows on the first day?
    Probably stating the obvious, but I'm assuming you are ticking the "All Day" box when you enter the Event?
    If you don't, but leave a time, say 10pm, and have a start date of the 18th and an end date of the 20th, say - it'll display only on the 18th (albeit with the 10pm time slot - not as an all day Event), but will print on all three days - ie 18/19/20th

  • Why are Facebook Events not showing in iCal?

    Hi,
    I subscribed to my Facebook Events calendar in iCal an it was working fine. All of a sudden the events stopped showing in the calendar. The same happened on my iPhone.
    I check and the link is still the same. Anyone else having this problem/ found a fix?

    I'm having the same problem. I unsubscribed, then subscribed again hoping it would fix the problem, but still not seeing any events.

  • A multi-day/all-day event in the iCloud calendar does not show up in iCal if the "all-day" box is checked

    When I establish a multi-day event on iCloud but do not check the "all-day" box it shows up just fine in iCal as an event that exists on each day along side the other events that occupy those dates.  However, when I check the "all-day" box when editing the event (in either calendar) the event completely disappears from the iCal calendar (it shows up across the top of the iCloud calendar in the "all-day eventt" line.  On my iPhone, there is no change in appearance (the event shows up on each day).
    Anybody have a clue what causes this?  Maybe just a "feature" of iCal beta?

    This is exactly what's happening to me. I've been able to recreate this on a Touch also with OS4. It's not occuring on OS3. I've only been able to recreate the problem on July 30th and August 1st calendar dates for some reason. It may be happening on other dates also but I havn't been able to find any.
    To recreate the problem go into day view on the calendar. Go to August 1st and create a calendar entry. Then touch the left arrow to go back a day then touch the right arrow to return to august 1st and your entry is invisible. It's still there because if you go forward a day then go back a day it shows.
    I've been using list view only now to avoid missing these invisible entries.
