ICal cuts off text of some events in month view

I've noticed that iCal cuts off the text of some events, while displaying the full text of longer events in the month view. For example, if I create an event titled "Test Event" only "Test" shows up in the day it's created, but if I enter "Longer Event" the entire text shows up, on two lines. These events are on separate days with no other events on those days, so there's nothing to get in their way. Why is this?

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"

ICal multi-day (not all day) event in Month view not displayed over days

What is it when I have an event that starts on a Wednesday and 4:00pm and goes to Friday at 6:00pm (not clicked as an All Day Event), (in Month view) the only day showing the event is the first day?! Shouldn't it show it over the course of the 3 days!? Outlook does that (I can't believe I just referenced Outlook in an Apple Discussion... in a positive light no less). Is it a setting?

Yes, Apple any help for this would be great. The only way I've come to work around is to use multiple events. So for a flight out of town would be one event, and the return another. I would create a third event then for the actual time out of town. There must be some way to easily fix this.

Can I change the way iCal displays events in Month view?

I don't like the way iCal in the new OS displays events in Month view. It's counter intuitive to have the time of the event be at the far right and grayed out. I find myself staring and slowly scanning down the display just to find out when I have to be at an appointment. I wish they had stayed with the other display, not only was it much clearer, it also word wrapped so you could see the entire description. I have blank space at the bottom of the day, and at the same time missing information because of the lack of wrapped text.

Hi Daniel,
The option you have there is to change the calendar of the event (currently the "University" calendar in your screen shot) not the colour. It is the calendars that have colours in iCal not the events.
To change the calendar colour in OSX 10.7:
Click Calendars (in the top-left corner of the iCal window), and select the calendar by clicking its name in the Calendars pop-up list.
Choose Edit > Get Info.
Choose a new colour from the pop-up menu in the top-right corner of the Info window.
To customize the colour, choose Other, and then make your colour selections in the Colours window.
I hope that helps.
Best wishes

Calendar ordering issues (cut-off text)

I have a calendar that I have successfully ordered and received in the recent past.
Two more recent orders for the same calendar have given rise to messages from "print services" that they cannot print the calendar because of cut-off text.
There is no cut off text in the calendar but when I do a print preview I see that each month is cut off (Janu.., Febr ..., etc.) and the year does not appear as it does on the versions I have already received.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Can anyone from Apple tell me what to do? I don't seem to be able to act on this part of the text.

Christopher:
Try clearing out the iPhoto cache folder inside your User/Library/Caches folder. See if that will help.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

With iCal can I hide repetitive events in month view only?

I was wondering if it was possible to hide repetitive events in month view but have them show in week and day views. For instance, I have my class schedule on iCal but I don't want to see it when I look at the month view, I just want to see events that are not repetitive, such as exam/test events. If anyone can help, that would be awesome. Thanks.

jk_baller23,
You could create a separate calendar for repetitive events, and uncheck them when using the day/week view.

Ical cannot create event in month view

iCal cannot create event in month view. Is this a bug?
I've tried double clicking in a day as I always did but nothing.

Ko be,
Application UI issues are in many cases, caused by a corrupt plist file.
Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
Also read Apple iCal 5 Office Software Review | Macworld for a description of Lion iCal.

Adding event in Month view

Is there a way to go straight to the detail box when adding an event in month view? When I right click on a date on the calendar then choose "add an event", it just puts it right on the calendar, then I click that so I can put the time down, then only the small box opens so I have to click the "edit" so it will open the big the box that has all the options in it.
Does this make sense? Is there a way to right click a day, choose "add an event" and have it go right to the bigger box where you can finish all the details of the event?
Also I saw a reference to the "info sidebar" in the Mac 101 support on the website.
"In the Info sidebar, click the New Event text to display the text box and type a name for your event, like dentist appointment, band practice, or a birthday party."
Where do I find this "info sidebar"?
Thanks all in advance!

rtha,
Just double click on the day that you want to add the event. That action will display the full edit field.
The info sidebar information on the Mac 101: iCal page is in error. It used to exist in the previous version of iCal.
I suggest that you provide: Apple - iCal - Feedback
;~)

Can't add an event in month view

I just installed Lion on 3 of my machines (2 iMacs and an air). On my one iMac I am unable to add an event in month view in iCal, I have tried every which way possible to add an event and nothing. However I am able to add event in day and week view. Also, when I go to add an event in month view while I don't get a response on the troubled iMac my other two computers show that and untitled event was added where I was attempting to add the event. Has anyone else experience this problem after installing Lion?

Tim,
Try refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To get to the Library folder use Finder>Go>Depress the "Option" Key and select LIbrary. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop. Then log out/in or restart.

Showing more All-Day Events in Month View?

Even with the iCal window maximized, when more than 4 All-Day events take place on the same day, Month View shows "..." instead of the usual All-Day colour bar, even if there's still half the space left in 'box' for that day....
To be clear: it shows the first 4 colour bars for the corresponding all-day events, then "..." at the top to show there are more, you have to switch to Week or Day view to see them
I looked at the plist and can't figure what could be changed.... any tips? It would really be convenient to see the maximum possible number of All-Day events even in Month view.
Merci!
François
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Unfortunately, it appears that this is intentional. The iCal Help file states:
"If you're in Month view and you see three dots (an ellipsis) at the top of the day, there is not enough room to show all the events on that day. To see all the events in Day view, double-click the ellipsis."
I suspect that half of the box is saved for all-day events and half for timed events. On my iMac G3, I get three dots and 3 events, on my G5 with a much larger screen I get three dots and 4 events. If anyone figures out how to alot more space to all-day events, it would be a big help.

I'm getting ... instead of events in Month View?

I notice that instead of some of my events in Month View I am often seeing ... instead, and I have to go to day view and back to get them back. Any ideas on how to stop this? I dont have a lot of events- no more than 4 at the most.

No hidden preference that know of. Maybe if you use week view rather than month view? I think, even with a large window, you won't get more that two all-days in month view.
I don't know if it will influence them, but you should use OS X Feedback to tell Apple of the problem.

Multi day events in Month View.

Multi day events in month view only display on the first day. Checking all day event fixes this, but none of my multi day events are in fact all day. If I sync with my iphone, it does mark both days on the multi day event in month view.
In week view they display correctly, but I like to have the month drawn out.
I am surprised to come across this hang up. Other calendars I have used always displayed such events across the month view.
Is this a bug or lack of feature?

Bug or design flaw?
Try setting it as a recurring event (yeah, I know, it's not a great solution, but it gets the job done)

How can you view multi day events in month view without having to check the "all-day" box?

I have multi-day events that I would like to be able to view in the month view. The only way that I have found to do this is to make the event a "all-day" event. Is there another way to view these events in month view, or am I stuck?

It shows multi-day events that are "all-day" events.
But for a non "all-day" event that happens to span multiple days, it only shows the first day

CF8 Document PDF cutting off text

I am facing text cut-off during CFDocument PDF page breaks.
I am using CF 8.
Anyone can help Plz ?
Thanks,
-SKS

We are experiencing the same problem, nearly a year after this original post. All hot fixes applied and the problem persists. Our data is not really a report exactly, we aren't looping through queries we are building dyanmic content based on some forms. So we can't use any of the work around methods like counting the number of rows and such, at least not without some major recoding of approx 50 included files. Documentation says that cfdocument supports the CSS style page-break-inside, but it appears to ignore it. The problem is also not corrected in CF9 because we have tested it there as well. No matter what we try to do the CFDocument tag will break in the middle of a table row / text if it happens to fall at the page length where cf wants to break the page.
This is highly annoying and a large problem as the print outs are for medical data, and the doctors need to be able to read the text, not only have half of it show up on one page and the other half on another page.

Cut-off text. Please help me. Thank you.

Hello,
I published my site several weeks ago with no problems at all. Now, suddenly, text (rendered as images) throughout the site is being cut-off, sometimes to the point of invisibility.
my site can be found at: http://www.milescollyer.com/
(I can provide screen shots of how it appears in iWeb versus Safari if needed)
I have tried almost everything that I can think of including:
-increasing the size of text boxes to a generous size
-increasing/decreasing the size of the font
-moving the text boxes up and down slightly in an attempt to fully reveal the text
-deleting and remaking text boxes
I have been reviewing this forum for days looking for help with this problem. I am at a loss of what more I can do. PLEASE help.
Thank you,
-miles

I noticed there are also diamond symbols with ? in them which are showing up too. Are you creating your text links within iweb and then using the inspector to link them to other pages? I have seen this type of problem when putting in forms, but never with text links. One way around this might be to link the text box instead of the text to other pages. for example, when you highlight the text and go to the inspector then enable as a link simply do the same but dont highlight the text just select the text box. Try it on a few and republish, its worth a try. You also might want to try this first, do a publish all rather than just publish. To do this go to file and select publish all to .mac. Sometimes this is an easy fix to weird problems. Your site looks nice and I hope you can get it up and running. Good luck.

The right-click link menu in Firefox 29.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.9.3 does not fully display options (cuts off text)

When I right click on a link, the usual menu I used to get in older versions of firefox still shows up. However, it shows up in a box that's much, much smaller than the size of the box in previous versions. The text gets cut off and while I can scroll up and down, I can't scroll left to right to read the text of the option. Actually, I've noticed that this happens with most right click menus now.
For example, if I right-click on a link, I get:
Open Li...
Open Li...
Open Li...
(down facing arrow to hover over to see the rest of the options)
All of the system and Firefox fontsize, menu size etc. are at their default. I haven't changed anything.

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem
