ICal duplicates a day (October 15, 2011)

Some days ago, I made a hotel reservation for October 15, 2011, using booking.com. Once my reservation was set up, I used the booking.com site to create a Gmail Calendar entry. After that, I used Mobileme to send this calendar entry to my Mac's iCal and iPhone. After that, my iCal stopped working and crashed (My computer is a Mac Book Pro running OS X 10.6.7). Then, I had to delete iCal, reinstall it and upgrade it with the MacOSXcombo upgrade to have iCal working again.
I tried to delete the calendar entry (in Gmail) and sync again. All I achieved was that I have now two days October 15, 2011 in my calendars (all my calendars have this particular date duplicated).
I tried also to delete all my calendars and create a new one, but all new calendars are born with the same bug, that is replicated both in Mobileme and my iPhone.
I tried, then, to create a new user in my Macbook. For the new user, MacOS creates correct calendars, with only one October 15 day. But I don't want to be another user than myself.
Today, folks at another discussion tried to help me, for no avail. John Maisey told me that my problem sounded completely different from that original poster, and suggeted me to start a separate discussion, what I am doing now. Also, he gave a hint that my problem may be time zone related, but I cannot figure out how.
I had this trouble and tried many solutions, but no one worked. Now, I am still using iCal on my macbook and iphone and mobileme, but still cannot use the deadly date of October 15, 2011. When trying to work on that month, my calendars behave like this:
iPhone: month view: only one day 15, events shown on all day, but day 15; day view: after day 14, there is an empty day 15, then a day 15 with events shown, followed by day 17 (no day 16 is shown).
Macbook Pro: month view: days correctly shown, but with no events; week view: two days saturday 15, with events correctly shown; day view: iCal crashes whenever day october 15 is reached.
MobileMe: month view: all events shown, with two days 15; week view: weeks 9-15 and 22-29 work fine, week 15-22 is not shown (mobileme goes to previous week); day view: day 15 is shown, but iCal does not respond when I try to view day 16.
Does anyone has seen anything like this? Is there a way to solve a time zone related bug introduced by an ics event already deleted from my calendar?

Hi,
I just searched and there are similar posts here:
October quits Ical
CALENDARS-OCTOBER 15TH ,2011
October Month view causes crash, G5 & Intel
iCal displays twice the same date on the calendar
weird thing happening with my iCal
Can you confirm what time zone you are in? Not in Brazil by any chance? If so change to the Argentinian timezone instead (in System Preferences > Date & Time > Time Zone) .
Best wishes

Duplicate All-Day events in Entourage, iCal and iPhone

When I sync my iPhone calendars at work, I am getting duplicate all day events (ie, birthdays, anniversary, etc). I'm using the Entourage sync services to create an iCal.
Is anyone having a similar problem or solution?
Thanks!

I have had a similar problem with all-day events in Entourage.
So far, I have had to manually delete the unwanted all-day events, but once deleted, they have not come back.
My theory is this: I already was syncing Entourage and iCal even before the iPhone. When I added the iPhone, it added a Calendar called "Entourage" to the iCal. It synced Entourage, my home iCal, my work iCal, and the iPhone to the iCal "Entourage" Calendar, leading to multiple junk. I added an application to my Mac which automatically keeps track of library books I have checked out, and puts the due dates on my iCal. When I added this, I got a whole new round of double all-day events.
You can delete them either in Entourage or in the iPhone, but I have gotten more reliable results doing it in Entourage.
A keyboard shortcut is to point at the event with your mouse and then type {Apple Key} {backwards delete} d
Hope this helps.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

In iCal I have double October 2012 (one instead of November) and no have March in 2013. Why?

In iCal I have 2 October 2012 (one instead of November) and no have March in 2013.
Mac Ox 10.5.8, iCal 3.0.8 (1287), Russian locale
So seems that other month's names moved
So now in Ical ( month view) i have: October, October, November, December, January, February, April
moreover( оr as result) in February ICal shows 30 days

Hi Satish,
In the css file, you should have a 'text-align' property set to 'center' for the BEx Table cell element. I'm not sure of the exact element name, maybe you can check. Also check if you can open the file in notepad if the MS VS format is not ok with you.

All-day events in iCal become 2-day events on iPhone

Since I updated to 1.1.2, all my all-day events in iCal become 2-day events on the iPhone. Has anyone else had this problem? I can reset the end time on the iPhone, but I have lots of recurring monthly events and it would take forever to do this manually.

I have the very same issue. I solved it once somehow but now it's back. I use Plaxo to sync between Outlook-iCal-iPhone and maybe that somehow has confused the phone. Let me know if you find any solutions. I will do the same.

It depends on what iMac you have. If it is an old PPC (G4 orG5) iMac then no further upgrades are possible. If it an Intel iMac:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)

When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

Problems down loading Photoshop Elements 10 * Purchased October 25, 2011

I purchased, on line, Photoshop Elements 10 on October 25, 2011.
The Toshiba laptop I downloaded this to "crashed" this past Sunday. I have been trying to download this software on my new Toshiba laptop. I sign into My Adobe. I find my purchase from October.
However, when I follow the instructions to down load it advises Photoshop Elements 10 cannot be downloaded. What do I need to do in order to be able to download PE10 on my new laptop?

Do not like updated ICal because the day and times are too faint to be read.

Since update of ICal, the numbers (day of month and time of day) are too faint to be read. Can this be fixed?

There are no setting to change that right now. You may try to increase the contrast of your display while working with iCal
System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Seeing
in the Display section adjust the "Contrast" slider.

Ical duplicate the date Saturday , October 18th and mess up all events

ICal shows Saturday, October 18th, duplicated at the calendar schedule for events. It brings trouble for every syncing messing up the events and crashes. When I open the calendar at mobileme page the date is duplicated there too. The calendars are only correct at my IPhone. I m a physician and its causing serious problems in syncing my appointments among my computers and devices. Could someone help me, please?

should clarify that I deleted duplicate events on the ipod so that should have left one in ical. there is still one listed in ical on the ipod but not on the computer, so deleting duplicate entry deleted it entirely from my ical on computer and mobile me. no icloud yet

ICal duplicating All Day events.

I sync my iPhone via USB (not iCloud) with my Mac.
Every now and then if I go through my historical iCal entries, I've noticed that quite a few All Day Events have replicated itself. Some twice whilst others can be replicated up to ten times or more.
This raises the need to indulge in a 'new hobby' of scanning iCal regularly to remove the duplicates manually. In spite of this, iCal persists to replicate some All Day events.
There doesn't appear to be a definite pattern to its replication because it replicates All Day events from more than one Calendar and does so on every other All Day event resulting in what appears to be a randomised replication.
I have no plugins or third party apps which integrate to iCal. For all intents and purposes (to my knowledge) my iCal is stock standard.
Does anyone know what causes this and how to stop it once and for all?
Thanks in advance!!

Try opening isync from your applications folder.
When isync opens, open the isync preferences.
In the isync preferences, click the button to reset sync history.
Once the sync history is reset, quit isync and try syncing the iphone again.
If this does not work, go into the entourage preferences and stop entourage from syncing with ical.
Export all events from ical and clear out any calendars.
Now create a new event in ical and try syncing just that event to the iphone.
If that event syncs ok, go back into the entourage preferences and enable syncing with ical again.
Now try syncing with the iphone.
Hope this helps.

Duplicate all-day events on calendar

I noticed that on my iPod Touch calendar, all of my all-day events go on for two days. For example, a person's birthday is showing up as going from Dec. 1-Dec. 2. On my computer's iCal, all of my all-day events look normal. What could be causing this?

I've had this happen to some of my all day events also. Somehow the events end up going from 11pm to 11pm (instead of 12am to 12am) and thus they span two days.
I'm still not entirely sure what has caused this. I've also had some of these events (these are mostly recurring events, like birthdays) that have ended up on a different day entirely - June 6 instead of October 31, for instance. In those cases the Recurring Event props got changed from a specific date to 'third Wednesday' or some such.
I have had to edit manually in Outlook -- if they say 11pm to 11pm, change it to 12am instead. And check the recurring props to be sure they are correct.
You might also want to check your location settings. I have sort of wondered if this has to do with location as I had it set to Indianapolis (which only started observing DST last year - maybe that isn't factored into the software yet?) and wondered if that is what messed things up, since all day events did shift by 1 hour. I have location set to New York now but can't prove that fixed anything -- I found a few more events messed up today, but then just now remembered to check World Clock, and it was still set to Indy. <shrug>

ICal duplicates on iPod Touch

I've duplicates syncing with my iCal and iPod Touch.
I use Mobile Me and have also synced using iTunes, including the overwrite option.
I've reset the ipod too.
But still got duplicates.
Any ideas? I'm unwilling to restore the ipod.

First I'd like to clarify some nomenclature. I switched from using Now Up-to-Date and Now Contact to iCal and Address Book. In Now Up-to-Date, there was only one Calendar, although you could have miltiple Calendar files with different names. Within a Calendar, you could have many categories of calendar entries which could be customized as to type style (Regular, Bold, Italic, etc. and Color). I had used it for over ten years and during that time had moved several times and lived overseas in two countries. Thus I had on category for Spanish Holidays, another for Portugues Holidays and many others, with a total of about 12 categories.
When I shifted to iCal, I archived all old calendar entries but my new iCal Calendar ended up with 12 sub calendars. I have culled/combined them to the following list: Club Events, Holidays and Birthdays, El Paso events, Medical-Dental, On-Screen Reminders, Special Days, KId's Events, Work, Theater & Entertainment, Travel plus subscriptions to Birthdays (direct from Address Book), Holidays in Spain, and Holidays in Portugal.
That is the description of my iCal Calendar as seen on my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, automatically synched through Mobile.Me.
On my iPodTouch, I see at the top, All Calendars, then From My Mac, below which is one subcalendar entitled All from My Mac, and below that is [email protected] (MobileMe), followed by all of the subcalendars I have described above.
I would like to get rid of the From My Mac entry so that All Calendars and MobileMe are one and the same. After reading other threads, I have decided the only way to do so is to talk to a MobileMe expert.

ICal on Loin hates 02 Oct 2011

I cannot add a new event to 02 Oct.
Double click on the date and it puts it in 03 Oct or sometimes 01 Oct.
Edit the new 03 Oct event to 02 Oct and it jumps back to 01 Oct.
Edit the new 01 Oct event to 02 Oct and again it jumps back to 01 Oct.
It also not possible to change an all day event running over several days to start on that date, it jumps to 01 Oct.
However it is possible to change a ordinary event to 02 Oct, but not create it for that date.
I cannot get this to happen on any other Sunday in October 2011.
Labour Day here is 03 Oct, so perhaps they don't want us be too busy the day before the march.
It is just all too weird. My conclusion:
It just seems Sunday 02 Oct doesn't exist in a Lion's mind. Snow Lepords never seemed to have such problems.
Perhaps this fault won't happen to you, but one day this bug with sneak up on you too, you have been warned.
Groan!

This is very similar to the Brazilian timezone issue that has not been fixed for at least the last 3 years. See:
