Ical date in dock no longer updating

Ever since aug 1st the ical icon in dock isn't showing the current date. Its nothing major but it was the cool part about the new version in leopard. how can I fix this? I've looked for something in preferences but I don't see anything. What can I do?

It's a long shot, but have you tried removing the iCal icon from the Dock and then re-creating it by dragging the iCal application from your Applications folder back onto the Dock?

  • ICal date in dock stuck on 31

    Since the new year my iCal date in the dock is always stuck on 31. It does change to the correct date when I launch iCal, but as soon as I quit it goes back to 31. I deleted the ical pref's but it still is broken.

    trash the ical icon on the dock, go to your applications folder, select ical and drag a fresh icon to the dock.
    hope this helps

  • ICal date in Dock

    Just got my new Imac with iCal included, can someone tell me, is it possible to have iCal show the correct date in the dock? It seems to constantly have its icon of 17th July? I've tried scouring the discussion forums, but everyone seems more knowledgable than me!
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You might want to consider adding the $ 18.95 program MenuCalendarClock version 2.1.1 [the iCal Edition] which places an accurate calendar icon in your menu bar, and provides much of the functionality of iCal [read-only calendar and task data and launch related functions] without having to open the program itself.

  • How do I get iCal onto my dock?

    How do I get iCal onto my dock?  I currently have to log into Mobile Me each time I want to check my calendar.  I used to be able to click on the iCal icon on my dock.  However, when I updated iCal a couple months ago, it did not update/sync with the iCal on my dock. I've tried draggin the iCal icon from the applications menu onto my dock, but that did not give me my calendar from Mobile Me.

    Try to see if you can update the iCal on the dock (click software update). Also, is it possible to sync calendars? If so, then I would also suggest that. If all else fails, try restarting your computer.
    Hope tis helped!:)

  • ICal date in application icon in dock is broken

    The iCal date that gets updated in the iCal application icon that sits in the dock is not working properly for me. The date is never aligned correctly. The black number is always positioned too high vertically and overlaps the red month area. I've checked iCal on other friend's machines (same OS, Leopard) and theirs display perfectly. Any idea why mine is out of whack? Please see screenshot below.
    The same thing is happening to the calendar widget on my dashboard too, so it appears as though it's some system wide bug/issue.

    evolution75,
    How on earth did you figure that out?!
    I am a regular visitor to this Forum, and the problem you described is not rare.
    How do I now go about removing duplicates?
    Just two simple steps:
    1. In Font Book, select the version of the font family that you want to use.
    2. Choose Edit > Resolve Duplicates.

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • TS2634 What if your iPod touch is reading that the date is in the 1800s and will no longer update the web and music that is "recent"?

    My iTouch is reading that the date is in the 1800s and will no longer update my "recently purchased" songs or update websites.

    Go to Settings>General>Date & Time and correct the times/date. Also, in Settings>General>International make sure the Calendar is set to Gregorian.

  • Ical  data missing after OS 10.5.8 update

    all of my ical data is missing after OS 10.5.8 update. also must force quit. unfortunately i am not able to access my backup due to problems with disc not being recognized and timemachine.... aack ( this problem occurred prior to update)..... i have my data on my ipod so i'm not completely *... but is there some way to restore my calendar without using my backup?.... is my info still there somewhere in my HD?...
    i am using a 24" imac intel core duo processor 2.4 ghz 4MG ram
    thanks.... this happened to me before when i installed the 10.5.7 update.... but i luckily had my backup to go into at that time...
    should have waited to install the update until i had my backup up and running again.... i guess... oh well....
    any help will be more than appreciated.

    I have also seen this problem.
    My fix for it was to get the iCal package off the install CD.
    To do this, download a program called Pacifist. What it does is it reads the install disc, and finds all the packages that the programs are in.
    It is really handy for installing individual apps.
    Once you have extracted the package, install it as usual. Then you should see all you data back in iCal, until it breaks again.
    Note: This is not really a fix, rather a way to get iCal working again.
    I have also seen this problem happen when there was no update done, or rather the update was done a month before the problem occurred. This was a real fail update by apple and i hope they make a fix for it in the next update, although now that Snow Leopard is out, your probably won't wee any more fixes, as they will be too busy patching up 10.6, already up to 10.6.2

  • All iCal data disappears after 10.4.3 update

    After updating to 10.4.3 all my iCal data was gone. I restored it using Backup and when I launched iCal it all appeared as normal—and then a few seconds later, poof, it all disappeared again right before my eyes. I tried making a new entry and at first it didn't seem to work, then all my iCal data reappeared for a few seconds, only to disappear again a few seconds later, leaving iCal "virgin" as if no entry had ever been made.
    The current iCal version is 2.0.3. I have tried erasing preferences and starting over again to no avail. I have also repaired the disk and the permissions with no improvement.
    Any suggestions anyone? This is one of the strangest OS X problems I have ever encountered.

    Yes,,, how did you solve the problem specifically from all the suggestions you got?
    I got a whole new powermac and used the migration assistant, but that didnt bring the information over for some reason (regarding iCal atleast, and some small unimportant pref files).
    I tried faking a 'subscribe' situation, a drag and drop, emailing the ics file, manually inputting them into the new machine's folder and so on but no go. And I dont have a .mac account to try pushing them over...

  • I have winxp pro. Microsoft will no longer update date it. Do I need t to upgrade to Windows 8 to use mozil firefox?

    Microsoft will no longer update Windows XP as os April 8, 2014 . They recommended to upgrade to Widows 8. If I install Mozila firefox, do I need o upgrade to Win 8. Thanks

    You certainly will not be prevented from using XP by Firefox after April 2014.
    Planning for the longer term you may wish to explore the other possible options.
    The Linux route does have an obvious advantage, nearly everything is free as in costs nothing. So you do not fork out for a licence to use Windows or MS Office. Users sometimes forget the cost of the software because typically a computer is bought with Windows pre installed, but if you keep it for any length of time you may then need to consider the costs of upgrades for Windows (IF the machine is even compatible with the new Windows).
    Dual booting (May be more difficult with Windows 8) is choosing at startup; or boot time; what Operating System to run. You could for instance retain and use Windows XP and have Linux available if required. The details of dual booting may seem rather complex at first, but if your machine has a USB port it may even be able to run linux off a USB stick.
    Whilst it may not be something a complete newbie should try it should not be ruled out as an option I like the introduction in this article
    ''"The reality is that dual booting needn't be a risk, and installation can be effortless. With the latest distributions, you might not even notice the process. All this means that if you've been put off by older installations and those old horror stories of things going wrong, it's time to try dual booting again, and our our aim is to demystify exactly what is happening and give you the confidence to delve into the world of dual boot.

  • ICal data suddenly gone and iCal stuck on birthday subscription

    I am on OSX 10.8.4 - iCal data suddenly gone and iCal stuck on birthday subscription - when trying to create events, or enter any data - the following prompt comes up "You can't add or change events on the Birthdays Calendar".  I can not get "off" the Birthday Calendar  - I can no longer access any of the old data or use iCal at all.  
    - Any thoughts? Suggestions?

    I have a similar problem. I have been using MobileMe to sync my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 4. I noticed on Friday morning that all data prior to 6 months ago (23 Apr 2010/Fri) is gone, except for recurring appts (birthdays, mainly). MobileMe may have had something to do with it, but I never log on to the site, and I had not updated my MobileMe calendar online (or iCal on my laptop, either, for that matter). And, I also don't know exactly when I lost all this data, either, which of course doesn't help either the troubleshooting or the recovery processes.
    I confirmed that all my settings (laptop, iPhone, iTunes, MobileMe online) were all set to keep all events forever and to sync all events. As part of checking all this, I got the message about updating my MobileMe calendar, which I did. I didn't lose any additional data. I am diligent about all updates, but if I had realized I was switching from keeping all my calendar data on my laptop to keeping it all on a MobileMe server, I wouldn't have gone ahead.
    Anyway, a Genius confirmed that my settings all look good. I went through the Express Lane chat process and am now in touch with a MobileMe Senior Advisor. We'll see. I'm not especially hopeful but will let y'all know how it proceeds.

  • ICal 10.6 client no longer syncing with 10.5 iCal server

    Searched the forums and haven't found anyone with an answer yet.
    We upgraded all our laptops to 10.6. The server is still at 10.5, running CalDAV server.
    Since the upgrade of the iCal clients, they are no longer accessing the iCal server. Any ideas what settings need to be tweaked in the iCal clients to have them see and read/write to their accounts on the 10.5 iCal server?
    Thanks
    Jason

    the same is happening to me.
    All my cals have been syncing just fine. Upgraded my iphone os5. upgraded lion on laptop. And for some reason, now i'm opening ical today and trying to edit, i am suddenly getting URL errors. Also i cannot find a way in the new ical (with lion) to unsubscribe from things.
    My iphone seems to be updating ok as it's syncing from the google cal server... but if i want to add or edit anything to my google cals in ical, it's not letting me do anything.
    Any ideas anyone ?

  • ICal and Address Book no longer syncing with iPhone - HELP!

    HELP!
    I am a long time Apple user and rely heavily on my iPhone to keep me where I need to be, when I need to be there. I have an iPhone 4 and it is running OS 6.0.1. Everything was working fabulously until recently. Sadly I don't know when the problems started--when I updated to OS 6 OR when I updated iTunes to version 11. Either way, my iCal and Address Book no longer sync with my iPhone. And to add insult to injury, my phone is no longer automatically detecting the AT&T microcell I have in my house. I have to reboot my phone every time I come back in the house--talk about annoying.
    I am not super techy, so I am hoping someone can help me with this. I LIVE by my iPhone and as a self-employed person, I can't afford for this device to stop giving me information. I also don't want to do entries on my phone AND computer everytime something changes. I do not want to go back to the more reliable paper calendar and address book.
    I have iCloud turned on, and it appears to sync my address book with my iPhone. But I seem to be a mess with iCal and my desktop. And between iCal/Adress Book on my computer and iPhone, nothing is talking.
    HELP!!!!

    I think my company updated Exchange on Friday and since then I cannot sync with Mac Mail, Entourage does not seem to be working either?
    Any fix found

  • IPhoto albums no longer updating in iTunes

    When I have the iPhone plugged into the Mac, and I go to the photos tab, I have selected to have the photos sync from iPhoto. This was working normally for a while but ever since I created an album and then deleted it, the albums under the photo section in iTunes no longer update. The folder I deleted is still there with 0 photos in it, but it is not in iPhoto.
    As a result, any new albums I create and any new photos are not syncing to the iPhone. Nothing changes in iTunes anymore.
    Things I have tried:
    Updating to latest iTunes
    Deleting iPod Photo Cache
    Rebuilding iPhoto Database
    Attaching a different iPhone
    Deleting all iTunes application data and preferences
    Deleting all iPhoto application data and preferences
    Creating a new iPhoto Library and importing the old one, creating a couple of new folders and testing, this leads to iTunes saying there are two default folders with no photos
    Deleting iTunes and iPhoto caches
    Please help! I've run out of things I can think of that should work!

    okay, so i just restarted my computer & the desktop changed.
    i usually only sleep the computer & so the desktop doesn't change. even when i did shutdown/restart computer in the past, the desktop did not change. i think somehow this is all connected. it seems if i don't have whatever photo my desktop is saved on the desktop, it will change it back into some generic photo...should i just make an appointment at an apple store? i don't have iPhoto 08 & there have been no updates...
