ICal almost impossible to see the text. How I can make it more clear?

My iCal application comes with text and design so faint that it is almost impossble to read dates.

Have same problem, new to mac, all happy with moving away from outlook for email and iCal fine in all respects except if a i cant see the numbers the whole excercise has been a waste of time and i am on the verge of moving back to outlook.
I really prefer iCal's simplicity but why oh why ! can i not just darken the font !!!!!
Frustrated Irishman ...

  • IMac monitor (my parents), the greys are so light and faint, they are almost impossible to see.  especially in icalendar.  i've gone into system preferences and i think i've tried everything there and checked the forums.  no luck. any other suggestions?

    monitor too faint to read.  the greays on my monitor are so faint, they're almost impossible to see.  especially the numbers of the dates in ical. 
    i've gone to system preferences and contrast controls.  but no luck.  any other suggestions?  thank you

    Thank you.  I didn't know about the universal access adjustment.  All the way left is a little better, but still much fainter than on my own imac.  I'm not sure why apple uses grey typeface, but it's so faint on this imac monitor that it was difficult to find the "reply" option on this post.  Are there any other suggestions?  thank you

  • I have added metadata in Prelude. How can I see the text in Premiere?

    I have added metadata in Prelude. Now in Premiere, I can see the "speaker" but none of the text I added. How can I see the text in Premiere?

    I just updated to Mavericks, then updated my Pages App. Now none of my previously created documents print out, except as blank pages, even though I can see the text on the documents, but with altered margins, on my computer screen. How do I fix this so the documents print out normally again?

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • How do I add text to a photo when making a calendar from iPhoto?  I see the text box for the dates but not for the actual photo...thanks.

    I can't find a way to add text to a photo once it's been put into the top pane of the calendar month...is there a way to do this since I'd like to add a descriptor to the photos?  I see the text box when you click on the calendar date, but don't find one for the photo pane.  Thanks for any assistance.

    Right - you can not add text to photos with iPhoto - you must use an external editor

  • Where can we see the text corresponding to a TDNAME and CLUSTID of STXL table?

    Hi,
    Can  anyone please tell me how and where can we see the text corresponding to a entry in STXL table.
    I can see only CLUSTID for a TDNAME in STXL table,but I need the corresponding text and in which other table this text is stored,
    Thanks,
    Vamsi

    got my answer
    import tline to rt_lines
         from database stxl(tx)
              client   rt_client
              id       stxl_id
    the fields of structure tline cannot be seen physically in any table.
    Here the id - stxl_id forms the key of table stxl.
    So against this key we are exporting the data clusters in database tables and application buffers of the shared memories  using below code first
    export tline from wt_lines
           to database stxl(tx)
              client   wt_client
              id       stxl_id.
    Finally we are importing that data using import statement into rt_lines which we exported earlier from wt_lines.
    In stxl(tx) the tx value corresponds to RELID field in STXL table

  • All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area.  I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  Help!

    All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area. It makes it look as though all of my photos are the exact same! I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  How can I return it so that I see the photo itself in the preview area? Thank you!

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take three or four goes.

    Hello Sophie59
    You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account. Check out the article below for further troubleshooting and emails setup options.

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

    I just installed DVD Studio Pro 2 in a Power Book G4 Lap but I cant see subtitle text typing after doble click a new subtitle. I see the text that I am typing in the Inspector Window but the grew square in the Monitor Window seemes empty. Once I finished the subtitle I can run the video and the subtitle appears in color, font and size chosen. Creating the next subtitle I can even go to the one before click once over the subtitle, then click above to get the videoline tool over the subtitle and I will see the subtitle in the Monitor and editing the text in the Inspector I can see the changes in the Monitor. But as soon as I doble click the grew square appears and the text dissapears. Sin doubt the text is there because I can select the invisible text with "Apple"+"A", and then change fonts and sizes and it works. In Color settings I tried every posible combination of Mapping types, color and opacity. In DVD Preference I checked the subtitle  settings. The monitor text defaults work perfectly and double clicking texts in the Monitor window where a grew sqaure appears and the text is visible just works correctly. Somebody can help? Do I need to change some configuration in the LAP?

    hi , i want to see all my photos and other throo the icloud in the computer how i can do it ?

    Well, the obvious advice is to restore your mac's backup to the new drive - I assume you've been using Time Machine.
    If you haven't been backing up the mac, then ...
    For photos, sync the iphone to the mac vis iTunes/USB and get the photos back into iPhone on the mac.  Getting back the itunes is another problem.  You can look for mac apps that read an iOS device and copy songs to the mac.  But that won't get back all the other information that iTunes used to have.  Again, only a backup would restore all that data.  As for purchased items from the iTunes store, use the mac and connect to the store via itunes and check the purchased tab or link.  There you can redownload all purchased music and other items.
