ICal bug with month view

I primarily use week view on iCal, but sometimes i switch to month view for a larger perspective. Often, i use month view to check for any leftover events from the previous month in case i forgot to delete one or two.
I just found a bug concerning this. If i click on "month" today, it'll take me to the month view for june 2011, and from there i can navigate forwards or backwards. However, may 2011 seems to have a bug. If i click on < from june, it does nothing; if i click again, it takes me to april 2011. Similarly, if i click on > from april it does nothing and if i click again it takes me to june.
It doesn't end there. The june/may thing happens only when the selected day (the one shaded light grey on the month and week views and bright blue on the little month tab on the left) is after 04 june. If a day from the first week of june (i have my weeks start on sunday) is selected, the < button does take me to may, but several events which i deleted a long time ago are showing up.
Now, i have an event set for today (04 june). Since the first four days of june are in the same week as the last three of may, the month view for may shows these four days, as any normal calendar app would.
If i use the month tab to the left to navigate, i can access may 2011 by selecting any day on that month. However, iCal's behaviour depends on which day was selected previously. If the previous day was in april 2011 or earlier, iCal will show the month of may completely empty, which is great because i have no leftover appointments from may; however, the box for 04 june is also empty, which it shouldn't be. If the previous day was in june 2011, it'll show may with a repeating event on every sunday except the first, which is completely absurd, since i have deleted this event (and why isn't it showing on the first sunday in may?); the box for 04 june, however, will correctly show the event i have set for this day. If the previous day was in july 2011 or later, it'll show may with the repeating event on all sundays (including the first one) and it won't show anything on the box for 04 june.
Obviously, there is a bug with may 2011.
In case it helps, i do have a repeating event set to all sundays until the end of existence, but i have deleted all the entries from may and previously, since they have obviously already happened. Also, i had many other repeating events set to happen on different weekdays; these are to repeat themselves weekly until about halfway through june, and they started on april or may (can't remember right now). Like the sunday one, i have deleted all the entries from may because they have already taken place. Strangely (and thankfully), none of these appear when i visit may from june or later, as does the sunday event.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or am i forever stuck with week view, which has so far proven to be bug-free?
(I did a search on Google and another on the Apple forums for this issue but could find nothing, so i decided to ask the question myself. I apologise if somebody has already asked this question and i just couldn't find it.)

Greetings,
I have a vague recollection of someone else with this issue but haven't experienced it myself nor encountered it recently.
Troubleshooting:
1.) First make an iCal backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966.
2.) Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical and / or "ical"
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

  • Publishing iCal With MONTH view being the default view

    Hi
    I'm using iWeb to publish a page, then editing the HTML code to include a non-scrolling frame that is my iCal calendar on it. It works ok EXCEPT that it defaults to a Week View on the web page, and that looks lame because for our purposes it should really default to a MONTH view.
    Does anyone know how to make this happen????
    I'm stumped!!!
    Unfortunately, I reached my bandwidth limit for this period (first time it's ever happened!) so I can't "show" you the page I'm talking about -- it's shut down until 3/16/07. Sure hope an iCal expert knows how to do this... ???
    Thank you!!!

    After not receiving any replies for a couple days, I took a chance and emailed James Tseng (someone who I saw has been very active and helpful on the boards in the past) directly at [jwtseng at rocketmail dot com] ...and he totally answered this question, and also said "Feel free to post the resolution to your issue on the forums so that others might benefit.

    Thank you for your email. You are always most welcome
    to contact me directly since my participation in the
    forums is not welcome anymore. I think I see what you
    are talking about.
    I published a calendar to use as an example... The
    default URL that iCal gives is here...
    http://ical.mac.com/jwtseng/Home
    And just as you mentioned, this resolves to a weekly
    view by default at this URL...
    http://ical.mac.com/WebObjects/iCal.woa/wa/default?u=jwtseng&n=Home.ics
    But if you click on the "Month" tab to switch views,
    the URL becomes this...
    http://ical.mac.com/WebObjects/iCal.woa/wa/default?d=1&u=jwtseng&v=1&y=2007&m=2& n=Home.ics
    So that's the secret, then. To get your calendar to
    display with the month-view by default, just use this
    fully-resolved URL as the src URL in your iframe
    function instead of the short URL. That should work
    perfectly for you.
    Let me know how it goes...

  • Ical to iweb: monthly view

    I managed to embed my iCal into iWeb, but I can't seem to get rid of the mini months on the side or get it to publish in "month" view instead of "weekly" view. Any suggestions of how to correct this problem?
    Thanks

    You can't. There's no option on the published calendar to get rid of the mini months. You could use a Google calendar which doesn't have mini months like in this demo page: Google calendar.
    There's also an application, Spanning Sync 3 that will sync iCal calendars with Google calendars. For other methods see:

    How to Sync Any Desktop Calendar with Google Calendar
    Google Calendar and iCal can sync for free, with caveats

  • IOS 7 iCal create event month view

    I updated my iPad mini and iPhone 4S to iOS 7.  I love iCal, but can't figure out how to create a new event in month view.  I try double tapping on the date as I did previously but nothing happens.  What am I doing wrong?   

    Have you tried tapping and holding on any date? I get a small blue bar with the words "New Event" in it; I can drag the event to any visible date if I pressed the wrong one, and when I remove my finger I get a blank new event on that date. It starts as an all-day event, but you can easily change that.

  • ICal disappears in month view

    Just recently, when I select month view in the Tiger iCal, the window disappears. I can add new events, but cannot see them unless I'm within the day or week view. Also, when I immediately click day or week, it doesn't fit the frame properly. Does anyone know why this glitch is happening?

    I found this advice from a standford prof.... and it worked for me...
    "I just deleted the com.apple.ical.plist file from
    user/library/preferences and reset everything back to defaults and it works
    fine now."
    I deleted all the iCal plists and it kept my data, but reset iCal and I can now see in month view.

  • Ical bug with iCloud connection.

    Hello, my name is Carlos Micó.
    I´ve got a problem with iCal. When I open iCal, this stays in a bug trying to connect and sync with iCloud. The application can not close it. Can not access your preferences. I tried to delete the account from iCloud to not continue the bug, but does not solve the problem. Any solution?

    Are you actually opening iCal or Calendar? If you are able to open iCal, and it hangs, that would be because it doesn't work with Mavericks. You need to use Calendar.
    Does the iCloud System Preferences let you uncheck Calendar?
    Can you access your Calendars at www.icloud.com?

  • Bug with readonly view (through sql query)

    HI , I'm using JDEV11.1.1.2
    I found the following problem which I consider a bug:
    When you create a readonly view object based on sql query the first attribute gets type: VARCHAR2(255) although it is VARCHAR2(10) in the database. All other attributes get the correct type and length only the first one is not correct.
    Can you confirm this behavior to be a bug ?
    Thanks
    agruev

    Hi,
    of other string attributes show the correct length then this indeed sounds like a bug. However, a bug is a bug when it is getting filed.

  • ICal not displaying all events in Month view, leaving unused blank space

    I think this is a bug or bad programming of iCal:
    In the month view, I have for example a day with 5 or 6 events. When I change the size of the global iCal window, the size of each day is of course changing, displaying more or less of the events on that day; and displaying "..." when additional events exist but can not be shown. This is all fine... and normal...
    However, I noticed that iCal is simply not making use of the whole space: when my day is bog enough to display all events, iCal is still only displaying half of them, and the "...".
    This is really a pity as the white space is there.
    Anybody observed the same behavior?

    Hey, thank you.
    But how do I change the font and its size?
    I tried....
    Thanks,
    Janos

  • I was able to print my month view from ical, but no longer is "month" an option. I can only see list and day. Please advise!

    Just curious...about two weeks ago I was able to print my ical calendar in month view. For some reason, "month view" is no longer an option in print mode. The only two options I have are day or list. Not sure how to print in month view now or retreive that back. Please advise : )

    Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
    Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

  • How can I print multiple lines in my All Day Events (month view)?

    Does anyone know if there is anyway to print multiple lines for all day events? When I print my iCal from a monthly view, my all day events (positioned as a header) only print the words that can fit into the daily box, instead of going into multiple lines and displaying the whole text.
    For example:
    Los Angeles County Fair, Don't forget to pick up John and Jen
    will print as:
    Los Angeles County Fa......Jen
    Anyone have any idea how to solve this?
    P.S. I have already tried meddling with fonts and page sizes to no avail.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    So far as I know, an allday event only ever shows a single line of text regardless of view.
    Consequently, how much you can see is governed by the width of the day (or days) in that view.

  • More than 6 Calendars in Monthly View?

    Is there any way to show more than 6 Calendars in the Monthly View?
    After 6 are displayed, there are just 3 dots that indicate that there are more Calendars out of sight.
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Hi Del,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Here is a link to a pdf that shows an example of what I mean:
    http://www.amson.org/ical-001.pdf
    I track projects over weeks at a time and would use ical in the Monthly View mode mostly.
    Do you see how I have 6 Calendars showing with 3 dots above them that indicates more Calendars exist, but cannot be seen in Monthly View mode. If one goes to the Weekly View mode, all the Calendars are visible. However, I need to see all (more than 6) in the Monthly View.
    I looked in Preferences and don't see any way to change this there.
    Thanks,
    Chris.

  • Crash when adding new multi-word event to month view

    Recently updated(?) to Leopard from 10.4.11. Now, adding a new event to iCal when in month view often causes a crash. Sequence is:
    0) click in desired date box to start new event
    1) type first word of event, type space, start typing second word
    2) input freezes after a few chars and acts as if I had exited the input box
    3) reclick on the input to edit/complete it
    4) * crash *

    This is also driving me nuts... Actually, I have not even figured out how to even enter a new appointment in month view. It used to be double-click, enter name, hit <tab> and fill out he rest in the panel, but this routine does not work any more.

  • ICal misbehaving with iPhone, month view, and events missing

    iCal is giving me problems.
    April will not display at all in month view, and 1 week's worth of events are completely missing, no matter which view I am in.
    My iPhone has all of my events and is up-to-date, but even though I've synced it several times, it doesn't work. I've deleted the com.apple.iCal.plist file as well as the cache, with no luck.
    I'm in Leopard 10.5.8, using iCal 3.0.8
    Thanks in advance for all of your help!

    Can I publish the calendar between two macs that are on a LAN?
    Publishing requires a .Mac account, or WebDAV-enabled server as I mentioned in my previous post.
    To simply share a calendar from on computer to another you can use iCals export and import features.
    Just export a calendar from one computer and import it on the other. It's as easy as sharing a file.
