ICal applescript "view calendar"

When I run the following applescript
tell application "iCal"
view calendar at date "Thursday, June 19, 2008 4:00:00 PM"
end tell
iCal moves to Thursday, but when I run
tell application "iCal"
view calendar at date "Thursday, June 19, 2008 5:00:00 PM"
end tell
it moves to Friday..
I'm guessing it is one of the bugs relating to the timezone management within iCal? (I'm in California)
Is it just me and my computer or is this actually a bug?

In Ical, can you print a list view calendar without notes?

cj,
After selecting Calendar>File>Print...> I am presented with a Print selection pane which offers among other choices, a "List" selection:
What do you see?

Why can't I print out a year view calendar?

I was thrilled to find we now have a Year-View in iCal with OSX Lion, but now I find I cannot print it out. Every year, I like to print a few year-view calendars to keep in different places. Right now, I do not have any calendar program that will let me do that. What is so wrong with letting us print a year view calendar?

As a work around:
When displaying the year view, switch to full screen view and type Command(⌘)-Shift-3 to take a screen shot.
That will store a picture of the screen on your Desktop. Print the picture.

ICal Daily view bug

Hi, I'm having a strange bug in iCal, I hope you can help me.
In the day view, the date and texts on the left side are too big and cropped.
Increasing and decreasing size only affects the right side panel.
I deleted the app via terminal, reinstalled it with the Lion DVD I burnt, and made a combo update. The bug is still here.
Deleted the preferences. No success.
Here is what I see : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4894405/WEBPOSTS/iCal_bug.png
Thanks for your help.

Greetings,
Its likely you have a settings issue in your user account rather than this being a bug within the iCal application itself.
To be sure you can create a new user account on your computer and test: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mtusr001.html
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Region. Region should be set to the country of your choice. Do not have it set to "Custom" as this can have unexpected results in the iCal window.
If that does not resolve the issue:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
--- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion:
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

ICal day view header date error

I'm having an issue with the date header in the iCal day view. No matter what day I select the calendar displays Saturday, November 27th, 2010 in the header (at the right top corner of the screen). The date near the top of the agenda on the left side of the screen is displaying correctly and changes as I change to different dates. Also the icon in the dock is displaying correctly.
I've tried various basic things such as quitting and restarting iCal. Also I've reviewed the preferences for iCal as well as the system preferences and haven't seen anything that would make a difference.
Any assistance or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Eyejinx,
Quit Calendar, and go to System Preferences....>Language & Text>...and set/re-set your "Region:" Restart Calendar.
If that is not successful, quit Calendar again, and paste this text ~/Library into the Finder Menu>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
Next open the Preferences Folder in that Library Folder and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
Log out/in or restart and open Calendar.

ICal's Mini-Calendar Confused as to Month -- creates "offsets"

This is the second time in a week I've run into this problem. A cursory look at recent threads doesn't seem to show anyone else with the problem, although I easily could have missed it.
Occasionally, when I open iCal, it is "confused" as to the month. That is, even though right now it is 12/29, opening iCal and viewing the mini calendar in the lower left hand corner shows that it is the 29th -- but on the *November 2009* calendar. This persists if you advance the calendar ahead or back months. For example, in January, the 19th is supposed to be a Tuesday, but the mini calendar does not reflect it as such.
I've found that a way to fix the problem is to have the main calendar go to the "monthly" view, and then advance it. That seems to reset the mini-calendar.
Weird, right? Anyone else seeing this?
FWIW, I do use an iPhone.

Brian,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Often iCal display problems can be corrected by refreshing the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

AppleScript Deleting Calendar

Hello everyone,
I have a quick question regarding AppleScript.
I got multiple calendars "Untitled 1" "Untitled 2" etc. this goes up to "Untitled 325".
I wanted to run a small Apple Script, which would remove those for me automatically.
For that I wrote this one:
tell application "iCal" to activate
repeat
          tell application "iCal"
                    if exists calendar "Untitled" then
                              delete calendar "Untitled"
                    else
                              delete calendar "Untitled"
                    end if
          end tell
end repeat
The problem is, as you can see that it really just search for "Untitled" calendar names, it does not search for the others and won't delete them either. I tried then several way for example using a * after Untitled or a empty space then a * etc. I have also googled for a command which could help me but I was not successful.
It would be great, If anyone could tell me how to tell this Script to delete any calendar which start with "Untitled".
I'm looking forward for feedback! Thanks in advance.
iPhoneRockets

I updated It but Its not working yet. Im happy for any help.
property this_text : "Afraid to type?"
tell application "iCal"
activate
          display dialog "Enter some text" default answer "" buttons {"Cancel", "Continue"} default button 2
          set the this_text to text returned of the result
          set this_message to delete (every calendar whose name begins with {content:this_text, visible:true})
end tell
Thanks again

Viewing calendar in .Mac

I’m new to both iCal and .Mac so I apologize if this has been covered many times before.
Is there some way to look at and modify my calendar on my .Mac account that doesn't involve publishing it to the web?
I’d like to keep certain events private but still be able to view them and add others over the web with some sort of password protection. Using my .Mac account seems the ideal way to go, but I don’t see any way to do it.
I know that I can sync the calendars between two Macs, but I’d like to be able to have access from non-Macs and to do it with computers that are public.

No you cannot do that, ical calendars can only be published through syncing with .mac, or can be synced with another mac for viewing/editing, again via .mac.
If you are interested in sharing an ical calendar with others via the web and have these people either view/edit or view only, then you may want to look at spanning sync - www.spanningsync.com - which will let you sync ical with google calendar. for that you will have to create an account with google and set up google calendars, that's free by the way. spanning sync is not free - am not an owner nor a employee of spanning sync, but am a user, and it works quite well for me.
hope this helps

No more "View Calendar on .Mac" ???

I am unable to find the feature called "View Calendar on .Mac" that existed in Tiger? Where is this now? I can't locate my cal on the web.
David

David,
where exactly are you control clicking?
It is apparent that we are not looking in the same location, or the contextual menu has changed between iCal 2.0 and iCal 3.0.
I am looking/clicking on the iCal application "Calendars" source pane.
Perhaps you can point me in the right direction. If you talking about the .Mac web page, I have never seen that choice in that location.
Try sending yourself a "Publish" email. Select the calendar and choose Calendar>Send Publish Email... That should present you with the proper format to use for viewing in any web browser. The email will list:
1. You can view my calendar at:
2. You can subscribe to my calendar at:
;~)

HT1694 Does iCal sync multiple calendars from Windows Live or just one?

I'm considering moving from WP7 to an iPhone since Sprint won't carry the Z10 or WP8, but I need to be able to sync multiple Windows Live calendars to even consider it. I have about 12 setup that sync perfectly with my PlayBook and my HTC Arrive. To make the switch I have to be able to keep that sync capability. Thanks for the info!

Hello
I can offer no help, but sympathize with your dilemma. I love that you can set up several calendars on iCal and view only what you want. I have set up calendars for b-days, bills, school, work, my wife's school..... and I love how uncluttered the separate views are.
It sounds like the only option would be (and Apple must love this!) to purchase an iPhone or iTouch so that you can just keep your calendar with you, and forget about accessing your iCal on any PC.

After upgrading to Yosemite, my Exchange calendar no longer syncs to iCal (the Apple calendar). Help?

After upgrading to Yosemite, my Exchange calendar no longer syncs to iCal (the Apple calendar). Help?

That's not the point.    Before iCloud, Outlook synched with Apple Calendar and/or iCal.    With iCloud, Cal syncs with iPhone and other devices.     Outlook doesn't have to sync with iCloud (although that would certainly be nice).   It just has to continue to sync with Cal, which in turn syncs with devices via iCloud.
But for some inane reason, it doesn't.    If this is Apple's way of forcing people to not use Office and only use Calendar and Apple Mail, they are going to stop the gains they've made in business environments.   Businesses, especially large businesses, use Outlook.   End of story.
Furthermore, Apple's instructions for setting up or deleting iCal and iCloud accounts is complete gibberish. And I'm a tech who has been working with computers for 32 years.   Apple used to be great at making things easy. They now suck at it and are just as bad as Microsoft.

ICal 'Show Holidays calendar' not showing holidays in Australia after upgrading to Yosemite.

Hello, I had been in Italy before moving to Australia and I had set Show Holidays calendar in iCal to display Italian holidays. When I've moved to Australia, I've changed the regional settings to Australia and therefore iCal was showing Australian holidays. After I've upgraded to Yosemite, I can't see any holidays anymore. I tried to uptick 'Show Holidays calendar' and reboot Yosemite, then tick it back and it is still not working for Australia. if I change my regional settings for instance for Italy, it works. It just refuses to display Australian Holidays so for now I'm forced to use Google calendar subscription for public holidays.
How can I restore the iCal 'Show Holidays calendar' ?

Hi guys,
I had this problem too. I resolved it by going into System Preferences > Language & Region and making sure the primary language was "English (U.K.)" under primary languages (i.e. at the top of the list of preferred languages).
I always had this set before, but I think upgrading to Yosemite changed this setting to "English" (without the "U.K.) which I guess is a generic "countryless" language. I believe the holidays setting in the calendar needs to know which country's holidays to display.
Hope this helps this waiting for a fix...

1198886 - How to create a calendar style report in Crystal Reports XI
Symptom
How do you create a calendar style report in Crystal Reports XI?
Resolution
NOTE
This solution involves advanced report design concepts. The user should be familiar with creating formulas, grouping, formatting objects, formatting sections, creating subreports and linking them.
The first part of this solution involves creating the report and the first group level:
Before creating the report, create a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that contains a column called "date" with each day of the year in date format.
After identifying your data source and tables, create a new report.
Add the date table from the Excel spreadsheet to the report.
Insert a group based on the date field. In the dialog This section will be printed for, click For each month.
Select the Use customized group name based on a formula option and enter this formula (substituting the Excel table and field name for Sheet1_.date if yours is different.):
Monthname(Month({Sheet1_.date}))
Insert a new Page Header section.
Drag the group name field to the Page Header_a section.
Open the Section Expert, select the Group Header #1 section, and select Suppress.
In the Section Expert, click the Group Footer #1 section, and select New Page After. In its conditional formula button, enter this formula:
Not OnLastRecord
In the main report, create a formula called {@Weeknumber} that contains the following syntax:
DatePart("ww",{Sheet1_.date})
In the second section of this solution, you will be creating a second group level:
Insert a group (Group #2), based on the {@Weeknumber} formula.
In the Section Expert, select the Group Footer #2 section, and select Suppress.
Create a formula for each day of the week. Name them {@Sun}, {@Mon}, and so on, using the following syntax:
If DayOfWeek({Sheet1_.date}) = 1 then Day({sheet1_.date})
In this formula, the number 1 represents Sunday. For the rest of the six formulas, change the number to 2 for Monday, 3 for Tuesday, 4 for Wednesday, 5 for Thursday, 6 for Friday and 7 for Saturday.
Add these seven formulas to the Details section. Arrange them in a row, spacing them equally along the page, starting with the formula for Sunday.
For each of the formulas, insert a Maximum summary function.
Drag these seven summary fields to the Group Header #2 section.
Drag the lower boundary of the header down until it is the size that you want the square for the calendar days to be.
Suppress the Report Header, Details, Page Footer, and Report Footer sections.
Right-click and format each of the summary fields. In the Number tab click Customize and select Suppress if Zero.
Draw a box over Page Header_b and extend this down to the bottom of the Group Header #2 section. Then draw vertical lines from the top of the box to the bottom to divide the days, and draw a horizontal line along the top of Group Header #2 to divide the weeks.
For both the box and the vertical lines, use the Format Editor to select Extend to Bottom of Section when Printing.
Position the seven summary fields from Group Header #2 where you would like them to be in the day boxes. In Page Header_b, arrange the column labels ('Sun', 'Mon', and so on) so that they are centered above each square.
The final section will guide you through the Subreport creation part of this solution. Create seven subreports, one for each day of the week. Begin with the subreport for Sunday:
Create a subreport called "Sun". Select the data source for the data that your calendar data will display.
Add the data field(s) to the Details section of the subreport that you want to appear in the calendar squares.
Suppress the remaining sections.
Place the subreport in the "Sunday" square of the Group Header #2 of the main report. Adjust its size to fit the square.
In the subreport, create a formula called {@WeekNumber} with the following syntax:
DatePart("ww",{Appointments.Appointment Date})
In the Select Expert click show formula and add this syntax:
Year({Sheet_1.date}) = 2007 and DayOfWeek({Sheet1_.date}) = 1
In this formula, 2007 is the year of your calendar and 1 is for Sunday.
Link the subreport to the main report using the {@Weeknumber} formula from each.
In the main report, right-click the subreport and click Format Subreport.
In the Common tab, enter this syntax into the conditional formula button next to the Suppress check box:
Maximum({@Sun},{@Weeknumber}) = 0
Repeat steps 1 to 8 for the other days of the week, ensuring that you substitute the correct values for the corresponding day of the week.

Hello SMEvans32
You can use iCloud to share the Calendar, that way she will always be up to date on that particular section of your work calendar. If you want to use iCloud, I would recommend backing up so you have a safe copy of your data.

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"
