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 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!

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:

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.

Calendar Events Disappear In Month View

This has occurred twice now since iOS 5 on my original iPad. My default view is Month and when I launched the app on these occasions it opened to all dates blank. Frightened me at first thinking iCloud had wiped all my events out of my calendars however I discovered that if I changed the view to year, week or whatever the events were all there and remained when I switched back to month. So far this has only happened on my iPad and not on our iPhones all running iOS 5 or on our computers syncing through iCloud. Has anyone else seen something similar?

I was hoping this would be addressed in the iOS 5.0.1 update yesterday but the issue still persists. I opened my calendar app this morning and was greeted with a blank month once again. Of course, swiping to the next month and back repopulated it but it's really, really annoying to have to do that - especially considering that the calendar always worked flawlessly before the iOS 5 update.
I've submitted another bug report and will keep my fingers crossed for the next update.

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.

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

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.

In Ical (OS 10.4.10) Month view

When in ical, the day and week view display but as soon as I click on month view the calendar disappears. Any ideas>

mkaff,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Very often iCal display anomalies can be rectified by refreshing your iCal plist file. This can be accomplished by quitting iCal and dragging the com.apple.iCal.plist file which is located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior. You can delete the iCal plist file on your Desktop.
Let us know what happens.

Month View makes window disappear

HI I am wondering about this - I was using iCal and it was working fine, then I cam back to the computer later, and the calendar had disappeared. I quit restarted, repaired permissions, all to no avail.
What I am finding is that I can see my calendars in Day and Week view, but if I change to month view the window disappears. It also does thew same if I press cmd+3.
I only use it on one computer, am not syncing to anything. The only that may have been strange was that I was connected to an LC Projector when i was using it, then I disconnected while it was still open. Afterward it doesn't seem to work. But I have also reset the displays to detect that there is not a second monitor, etc.
I am using a Powerbook G4 17", 1.67GHz, running 10.4.8, and iCal 2.0.4
I also can't seem to find an updater.
And just to try - how does one reset iCal to begin with, and not lose all calendars - I've been using it for about 3.5 years (and have the next 8 months scheduled out on it) and haven't had trouble until now, and don't want to lose everything.

Hi,
The window positions are kept in your preferences.
Quit iCal and try moving the com.apple.iCal.plist file in User>Library>Preferences to your Desktop, then re-start iCal. The preference file will be re-created with the default settings, this will not affect the contents of your calendars.
best wishes

Ical Month View doesn't work

Okay, this just started happening to me randomly about 2 weeks after I got my macbook. Ical can no longer be viewed in month view. Furthermore, in either week view or day view, the page on the right that lets you set specific date/time as well as priority, alarms and notes and such, no long exists either. iCal starts, however nothing shows up as it starts in month view. When I click view>week view, that shows up fine (but still without the editor pane as I described above), but as soon as I click on month view, everything disappears. Please Advise
Macbook Pro 17 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Boot Camp Installed

Hi,
This is a problem with your iCal's preferences.
The easiest way to deal with it is to close iCal, go to your users Library > Preferences, find the file 'com.apple.iCal.plist' and delete it. When you re-open iCal the window positions will revert to deafult. Open iCal's preference window and make sure all your settings are how you want aftter this.

"Month View" Disappears

I've seen some posts on this before... anyone have any thoughts?
iCal works fine under the "Day" and "Week" views, but when I hit "Month View" it disappears from the screen. The program is still open, it just doesn't show anything. I have to switch the view back to Day or Week in order to see anything in iCal after that. My version is 2.0.5 (1069)
Thanks.

I also have a similar issue. I can view the previous month's month view and the next month's month view but this month shows month view as blank. If I then select week view, I get all my calendars. If I then click back on month view, iCal appears to freeze with a blank screen. However, just clicking on week view recovers and I can see my calendars again! Any ideas what's happened to iCal?
I've got iCal v3.0.4 (1263).
I'm also using M$ Office 2008 but I do not use Entourage and have never even started it up. I've seen some suggestions that Office 2008 has some impact.
Rgds,
Guy
