ICal day view upcoming events list--can it be turned off?

Just upgraded to 10.7 and the changes to iCal (v. 5.0.3) are horrifying. I plan most of my daily work on iCal and really need the Day view of the calendar to fill most of the window and show more details on my calendar items as it did before in 10.6. As it is now, the left half of the screen is now taken over by a list of upcoming events which gives the daily view too little space, so all my calendar items and notes are truncated. Makes it very difficult to work with. Is there a way to turn that upcoming view off? I don't understand why it's there. If I've selected "day" as my view option, it stands to reason that I don't need upcoming events for this week. The rationale behind that being there taking up all that unnecessary space is beyond me.
Barring that, anyone have any suggestions for an iCal replacement? I have a long list of other complaints but this one is a big one. If I can't fix this, I need to move on to something else.

Same question here... over a year later!  Mine's about iCal 6, but it's the very same issue.
Cannot stand the scrolling list of events.  When I select a day view, I want to concentrate on that day's events-- and not see a long list of other events for other days!
Rick, did you ever find a solutiion?  Maybe there's a hidden Terminal command to turn it off.  I kept looking for dot within the pane divider to collapse it, but it's not there.  Nor is there an option under Preferences!
Long live Snow Leopard and the old iCal!

    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"

  • 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.

  • Tired of Spam/Idiotic Alerts That Can't Be Turned Off

    I subscribe to MyFico and am tired of idiotic alerts that can't be turned off.  One of the most basic rules about alerts is that you alert people about "events", not "non-events", otherwise people start ignoring the alerts and when they are important don't read them.  As an example, if I have an alarm system I don't want to be alerted that "your alarm system didn't go off today", that would be idiotic, I want to be alerted when it does go off! Likewise, I don't want to receive 3 alerts every week telling me my "credit report was all clear this week", I want to receive alerts if something showed up on my credit report!  I am going to guess the user experience genius who was involved in creating this thought sending people endless ridiculous alerts would make it seem like we are getting more for our money, but it's just the opposite. But the worst thing is your alert setttings don't give the user any way to turn these idiotic alerts off. Rant off!

    Although I'm not sure what the big deal is here, perhaps your email account can filter those out for you? If I chose to ignore those alerts, I'm sure I could easy filter them in my GMail account.

    Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged.  Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
    Have you done so?  If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer.  Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

    Press and hold the 'keyboard' button at the bottom right of the keyboard and after a second or two a popup should appear - tap 'Dock' on that and it should move back to the bottom

    Why can't I turn off location services?  Restrictions are disabled.  The on off slidebar is grayed out.  I'm concerned my phone is being tracked.

    While I know there are phones that can do this, they really are not powered "off" - they are more in a hybernation state.  However, the iPhone has never worked that way.  Off on an iPhone means truly powered off - nothing is still running so there is no minimal function left ticking away to wake up the phone and sound the alarm.

  • Smart-Paste ... not what I want - can it be turned off?

    It used to be that when I was in a terminal window, and I think most
    other applications, I could highlight, then copy a selection of
    text and have just the text data get pasted to a chosen destination.
    Now, when I do this, it seems to carry the font, formatting, color
    and even the URL status with it when I paste it.  This plops a
    big ugly blob of text that does not fit into the destination where it
    should not be.
    If I just want to cut some text and paste it in an email or a text
    document this ends up ruining the formatting, putting control
    characters and what-not into the destination and in general really
    causing a pain in the butt.
    My question is can this be turned off, over-ridden, undone or
    removed somehow?
    Second, where is this controlled ... in the clip-board?  And if so,
    is there a way to configure the clip-board not to do this or access
    just the text data selectively?
    The answer to this for the OS ought to be to be able to cut and
    paste the formatting data separately - which would be a good
    thing to be able to do in many situations, such as photo manipulation,
    etc.
    Thanks.

    The text I was cutting and pasting was from the text of a speech
    by FDR from Wikipedia.
    But this weirdness happens a little on this page as if I grab my
    text from above and paste it here whatever I do it leaves me with
    this blue background.
    I think that is because there is hidden HTML in this box ... and no way
    to turn that off except edit it in HTML and remove everthing.  Way
    too much effort.
    Personally, I really prefer to work just in text, because we really cannot
    know what is going on in the background of our typing or whatever
    now and the simpler the better, especially when nothing else is wanted
    or needed.

  • HT4847 Can I temporarily turn off iCloud backups. From time to time I'm limited to dialup internet service. iCloud's taking over the connection, preventing simple eMail exchanges.

    Can I temporarily turn off iCloud backups. From time to time I'm limited to dialup internet service. iCloud's taking over the connection, preventing simple eMail exchanges.

    When you switch to iTunes backups, the device will start to make any further backups to iTunes on your computer. It will only do this when it is connected to iTunes and a power source. (If it is set to sync/backup wirelessly, it will only do so when it is connected to a Wi-Fi network)
    When you switch back to iCloud backups, it will basically resume where it left off and start to back up once again to iCloud. There is no moving of backup files between iTunes and the cloud when you switch between backup options.

  • My iPhone 3GS has just frozen.  My iPhone 3GS has just frozen.  It was going slow all day and has now completely frozen on the turning off screen.  Help!

    My iPhone 3GS has frozen.  It was going slow all day, and has now completely frozen on the turning off screen.  Anyone any ideas?  Thanks.

    The iOs 5.1 is a huge file that needs to be dowloaded when updating/restoring, your phone hasnt completed the update so its now in recovery mode. Look on the left of itunes, it should say downloads under the store section with a spinning wheel, click that and youll see the update file with a time remaining, wait for that download to finish then try the restore again  and it should work
