ICal event detail..

Hi,
In the old ical version (pre-leopard), there was a drawer or window, with event details.
It had the time, notification, attendee's, etc.
I know you can now get event details by double clicking on the event but I liked the old style better. It was quick, easy and always visible.
Is there a way to have that drawer or window, turned back on ??
Thanks,
B

B,
Is there a way to have that drawer or window, turned back on ??
Search Discussions with the term info drawer, and you will see plenty of evidence that it is not (currently) possible with the Leopard version of iCal.

  • ICal event detail in tool tip?

    Is there some way to display a tool tip showing event details by hovering over an event with the mouse? Is there a plug in or something that can add this feature?

    That's a really cool feature request... that would be really handy for me, too. I don't think that is possible, but here's an idea which might be "good enough" for you. Everybody on these boards knows that I love BusyCal (which is an iCal replacement that syncs with iCal)... BusyCal has an "info panel" that you can set to always show, sort of like the "info panel" in iPhoto. With this info panel showing, all you have to do is click once on the event, and the details will immediately show up in the info panel. Not quite the same as hovering over an event, but at least it's only one click instead of 2 clicks.

  • ICal Event Details

    When entering iCal events or when looking at events that were previously entered, the dates that appear are correct, but the day of the week is always Saturday, regardless of the event's actual date. How can I fix this problem so that the correct day of the week appears my events ?

    Not quite sure what you mean by "details", but after touching Edit for the event, touch the lines with the name and location and a cursor shows with the keyboard to edit those.
    Note that you won't be able to edit Exchange synced calendars.
    Also note that "iCal" is the OS X app.  The iOS app on your iPhone is "Calendar."

  • Ical event details time different that display time

    For some odd reason the event details of any event on any of my ical calendars comes in one hour earlier than the time listed as the start time "today", "list", "day" or "month" listing of events.  Only when I go to the event details of any given particular event do I see it listed as having a start and end time exactly one hour before the time the time given in any other part of the ical software.  huh?  I've gone through all the drama of time zone shifts and timei zone support, so I don't think that is the issue.  This is a just the difference between it saying my meeting starts at 3 (which it does) everyone except on the detail for that particular meeting which shows it starting at 2.  uhg.  Can someone help? 
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forums, Leslie. Do you mean in Month view? I haven't found a way to show end time in Month view, but it shows automatically in Day and Week views.

  • Ical events showing in week view as an hour later than the details in event

    Hi all,
    I've just been upgrading my ical / mobileme and I can't figure this out. All time zones are set to London-UK. If I look up appointments in week view all my calendars are colour coded. One particular calendar appears 1hr late with appointments. When I go into the details of this even it show correct time. For example. Kids school looks like it's in for 9:50 in week view but when I go into appointment it reads the correct time of 08:50?
    Any ideas. Thanks

    Andrew,
    Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
    No, but you can use cut/paste. Cut (⌘X) the event, then click on the week where you want to move the event, and Paste (⌘V).
    If you have a suggestion for Apple to change that method use: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback.

  • How do I get rid of event details in iCal in iOS?

    I'm trying to learn how to get rid of event details in iCal on my iPhone. With the event itself "edit" comes up when I touch the item. For event details, however, the "edit" option does not appear.

    Not quite sure what you mean by "details", but after touching Edit for the event, touch the lines with the name and location and a cursor shows with the keyboard to edit those.
    Note that you won't be able to edit Exchange synced calendars.

  • EDITED BY in the Event Details of iCal

    So .. a new fun added item when in iCal on my iPhone is the "EDITED BY" when I go to an Event Details of a shared calendar. Again .. this only appears when I access iCal on my phone ... it doesnt appear when on my laptop/desktop/ipad. 
    I'd REALLY like to not have it... any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Looks like 10.6.3 update solves this
    iCal fixes provided for:
    changing the invitation list for a single instance of a recurring event will no longer "un-book" the location of the meeting.
    an issue in which new invitations on a Microsoft Exchange server might not appear in the Notification pane.
    properly showing recurring Microsoft Exchange events which have a set end date. For details, see this article.

  • Ical Help needed- can not delete a four year ical event

    I accidentally sent an ical event that lasts for four years and now I he cant delete it and it is taking up more and more memory on his phone as it is repeating infinitly every day?? Have tried restore but it still syncs with icloud. is there an easy solution?

    First you have to know which calendar your client saved the event to. Usually by default it saves to the native Calendar app. If that is the case, he should be able to log into iCloud and delete the event (decline the invitation) from there. If your client saved the event to an external calendar that he has synched to his iPhone (Yahoo, Google, etc.) he may be able to delete it or decline it from there, which should in turn remove it from the device.
    The logic here is that only the creator of the event invitation can edit the event details, so that if they do that, all of the recipients of the invitation will get the updated information automatically. I agree it leaves a lot to be desired to stick things on people's calendars that they can't at the very least just simply delete if not edit. I will no longer accept invitations directly on my device in order to avoid this. I will add the event to my calendar manually from now on.

  • Can't edit iCal events like before installing Snow Leopard.

    When creating a New Event or trying to Edit an existing Event the title field isn't editable like before I installed Snow Leopard. If I try to click on the header field to edit it, the whole event box turns into a window with red & green buttons at the top and I STILL can't edit the title area! This doesn't make sense! Did something go wrong installing Snow Leopard? I've reinstalled it twice and still the same behavior. This can't be the way things are supposed to work editing events in iCal. I can edit the location and all the other fields in the event panel, but NOT the title. The only way I can try to edit the event title is by hitting the enter key and try to add characters before it switches to an un-editable field again.

    Perhaps you've just updated your OS and now have the newer version of iCal which is ***** compared to the faster, more elegant older version. The older iCal presented every event's details in a ready to edit format just by clicking on the item in the calendar.
    Now you have to double click that item you're interested in (one two) to get a window that shows you the item's details. Then, to edit, you must click the 'edit' button (three) upon which another editable window will allow your event details to be edited. Finally, after finishing your edits, you must click 'done' (four). Yes, that's right, 4 clicks to do what used to require only the initial click to specify which event you wanted to edit.
    Four times as many clicks for a utility application that has no further improvements, only this annoying change from what was once a very efficient tool.
    I do hope a future "update" will bring back the elegance of the older version with some true improvements.

  • Problem Adding iCal Events Received via Email (used to work fine)

    My wife and I share iCal calendar events between our Mac's via email. A month or so ago I started getting this error when clicking on the link that comes with the iCal event email:
    "This calendar file is empty. No new events have been added to your iCal calendars."
    We are both on Intel Powermacs running OS 10.4.11 and have the same version of iCal (2.0.5). I can still email her iCal events and she can add them to her calendar just fine. But anything she sends me gives me this error.
    Help?

    Travis,
    I had the exact same problem (with my wife's iCal account to boot ). The solution lies in the "(null) informs you..." It turns out that iCal looks at your personal address card to figure out who you are when populating the email. So, if don't have the email address you are sending FROM listed under your address book entry, then the notice is from NULL.
    I added my wife's email accounts to her address book entry on her machine (sorry for the bolds, but the details count.) Then I tried sending a calendar event from her iCal to me. This time it populated with her name and it added to my calendar just fine when I received the email.
    I hope this solution works for you (it drove me crazy for about two weeks.)

  • Help creating an iCal event workflow

    I'm trying to create a workflow where I run & a window pops up so I can add the details & then it adds the details to iCal.
    I was trying to use the 'New iCal Events' action which when run display a window where you can enter the details, but it won't work properly for me. If I run it from Automator the details I enter are added correctly to iCal, but if I run it from the workflow I saved (as an app) the details I enter don't get transferred to iCal.
    Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

    don't hope too much. automator bugs haven't received high priority in the past. you might want to look for a workaround using apple script.

  • During sync, msg about a conflict with an iCal event that doesn't exist

    When syncing the iPhone to the MBP, I sometimes get a message that says there are conflicts with three iCal events. Two weird things about these events:
    1. There's no difference between the events being shown on the iPhone and the MBP. The details of the two so-called versions are identical.
    2. None of these events actually exist on my iPhone or MBP's iCal!
    They look like events that I created and subsequently deleted... but somehow their ghosts are still haunting iCal somewhere -- though they don't show up in searches.
    One thing they all have in common: these non-existent events are/were all recurring events.
    Anyone have any ideas how I could delete these events? The only option I currently have is to choose the iPhone version or the MBP version (neither of which actually exists!).

    I think the answer you need is this:
    You need to tell the "Synch" which 'direction' to copy from - i.e. from .Mac to that computer or from that computer to .Mac.
    If, on either computer, you click 'system preferences' ( in the dock) and then .Mac and then Advanced you will see a button to 'reset synch options' and tell the machine to send what it has to .Mac or recall what .Mac has back to the machine.
    I have a simpler problem - I want to start a new topic in this forum and can't find a button to do that!

  • ICal events window

    The background on the events window is black, making editing quite difficult. Where do you select preferences for this?

    This issue has been addressed in at least nine topics without a solution: Blacked out dock icon & more (4 Aug 08), iCal Misfunctions (19 Jul 08), Get Info Background Color Problem (19 Jul 08), ICAL colors (19 Jun 08); iCal looking messed up (17 May 08), iCal Events window (22 Mar 08), Event Info Box Reversed (17 Feb 08 - archived), ical inspector screen is black... (29 Jan 08 - archived), iCal info windows are black (8 Nov 07 - archived).
    This thread has the most posts.
    My symptoms:
    - The event info window (double click on an event and the details pop up) has a black background making the entries unreadable until I click on the fields.
    - iCal opens with Home calendar checked (my only calendar), but the calendar is empty until I uncheck it and recheck it and then the events show up.
    - New calendars do not show until the application is relaunched. (Same with calendar deletions.)
    - Icons are missing...for example, the Thumb Tack icon on the button to open and close the To Do drawer.
    - Transparent, nearly in visible, iCal icon in the Dock.
    I trashed all the iCal related .plists, caches, and even the program; replaced the calendar - exported and reimported it; reinstalled the iCal program using the original Leopard disk; reinstalled update 10.5.4 - both combo and single versions several times; did all the above in various sequences.
    One of the 10.5.4 re-installations fixed the transparent Dock icon.
    The Console log captures between 150 and 300 entries when I launch iCal - indicating that a lot of images aren't loading right - which would seem to correlate with the symptoms. (Excerpt below).
    I would appreciate any ideas for a fix.
    cheers,

  • Can iCal send details of appointments as text messages?

    Hi everyone, I am not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask, if not, please direct me to where this would be more appropriate.
    I have been asked to provide a mac based solution for a client who uses mac mini and iPad as part of his business. He books clients (they are all one off clients, no repeats) using iCal and he wants to send the details of the appointment to the client as a reminder 24 hours before the appointment is due. Is there any way I can get iCal (or indeed any application for mac or iPad) to do this? Keeping in mind, he wants the reminder message sent to his client, not to himself, as obviously he can look at his own calendar to remind himself when/where appointments are taking place.
    Thank you all.

    Hi,
    It would be possible by using the iCal 'Run Script' alarm type. You'd set an Applescript to send the SMS. From Googling, there appears to be some options to do this, see: http://www.smsmac.com/help/discover/applescript/ , http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=34525 (for this one, you'd need the recipients phone email address), http://network-heretics.com/blog/?p=26 , http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=32933 (using Skype). Your main problem will be how to get the info from iCal, the third link here uses a variant of ones I have used to find the event details. IMO it would depend what your client has set up already as to what would be most useful.
    Best wishes
    John M
