Ical leaves no room for events

I have a macbook air, iPhone and iPad and have them all synced on the cloud.
When I enter events, sometimes it will just format them normally.
If I enter 10am meeting with Jane it will show up on the calendar as: meeting with Jane and there will be a small grey 10a off to the right.
But if the time I have to enter is not on the hour exactly, for instance, if it is 10;15am, what will happen is that it will say: Meeting with Jane and in grey on the left it will say fri, june 8, 10;15am. Which means that I will only see Meeting with…. because there is no room for Jane!
Help, why does it do that and how do I stop it? it didn't used to do that.
And sometimes it will say gmt, or pdt or pst and sometimes it won't. I do not have the time zone support on, as I prefer to just adjust timing when I am traveling on my own. but there is no logic to why it will label it sometimes and why not.
Then a week ago it ate a section of my calendar. most of the events for a three week span just disappeared, but not all of them.
so is this a corrupted ical and do I need to somehow remove it and re install? or is this a common issue with ical that the dates are wonky and badly designed, and the events disappearing is a separate issue?
Help!

Ical puts the date in and leaves no room for the event??

A couple of months ago ical suddenly started adding the date to my event entries and now in month view there is only room to see the date, not the event. How do I turn that off?
What it does is if I type in "7:30 p call john doe" it puts it in the calendar as "call john doe" and then on the other side of the entry it says in light grey " May 18, 7:30pm to May 18, 8:30pm " .
so because it says all that in light grey, there is no room for "call john doe"
so my calendar says: c May 18, 7:30pm to May 18, 8:30pm
in other words, the event is completely displaced by the date which I dont need to see because the event is already in the box for that day.
how can I turn this off and why did it start happening?
thanks,
Katarina

ICal not accepting times for events

Not sure I'm on the right forum. Posted about this on the MacBook forum but haven't gotten a response there.
iCal recently stopped accepting times for me. When I go to enter an event there is space for only two digits in the time field. I assumed the numbers entered would be for the hour. When the event is entered, however, it turns out that the hour is always 07 and the number entered in the two-digit field is used as the minutes value.
The calendar is not much use to me this way. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Very cool! Thanks for the detailed reply and glad you found the solution. BTW the plist files are property lists files, in short like a preference. Sometimes they can get corrupted however the good news is the solution is very simple. Just do what you did (locate the offending plist and drag it to the desktop) and it will recreate itself.
If you ever want to get really geeky about them here is a more detailed article:

ICal no longer listening for event notifications in 10.5.4

Up until 10.5.4, iCal would automatically add todo's and calendar events to its display when an event was created from an external app using the CalendarStore framework...
Not anymore... The events are created, but you need to click on a different view to get iCal to realize something has been added to the calendar

P965 Platinum 2 optical drives leaves no room for ATA Harddrive??

Since there is only 1 IDE controller, I can't run 2 optical drives and have a IDE harddrive hooked up together?? I'm builing a system for a friend and along with 2 optical drives(DVD burner and CD ROM) he wants to use his current ATA Drive as storage. I am upgrading him to WD 250GB SATA drive. I just realized tho this board only has the one ATA connector and I can't hook all 3 devices to that controller. Do I have any options other than losing access to 1 optical drive?

You can put in an addtional PCI/PCIe-IDE Controller Card OR use a PATA->>SATA Converter.

Workflow; from (illustrator) design to Flash Builder (with no room for interpretation)

Dear all,
A couple of years ago, we've made quite a bold move to start developing a large ERP application using Flex. The workflow was straight forward; functional and graphic designs were developed almost simultaneously (using Illustrator for the graphic part) and subsequently Catalyst would be used to convert the illustrator designs to usable code in Flash Builder.
Since Catalyst has been discontinued, we've been dealing with a real gap which is recently been widened due to the fact we've started using later versions (Adobe CC). Thus, we are in need of some advice. We need solutions to move from an illustrator design to flash builder without our developers having to execute design tasks or interpret designs while coding. Basically my questions are as follows:
- How do I get .ai files over to Fb leaving no room for interpretation (dimensions, colors, gradients, blends, padding, etc)?
- What is the best flow in case we want to also add some interactivity / animation to our designs without having to dive into the code, in order to convey our ideas to our developers?
I have browsed forums and watched several training videos, but all I can find are workflows from design to web. Surely, you guys can help me out!
Thanks,
David

Hello, My iCal don't synchronize older events than two or three month ago. How can I do to synchronize all my schedule? In iTunes it's all right in Calendars. I don't put a cross in "synchronize event older than ....... days". Thanks for answer.

Just saw your post. Better late than never. You may want to
consider GameBrix.com, where you can create Flash based, casual
games using your web browser. No downloads are required. You can
create a game from scratch using a library of images, sounds and
game mechanics. You can also upload your own. The online script
editor will allow you to view and edit the ActionScripts associated
with each game mechanic. In short, a great way to ramp up on game
design and build your own game without investing a lot of $
upfront.
BTW I am associated with GameBrix so any feedback is
appreciated.

How can I remove default alarm for events in iCal on devices ios?

Whenever I add an event to my iCal calendar in Mounain Lion it will automatically add one default alert only on my iphone and ipad. These default alarms are not displayed on my macbook or icloud.com
Default alarms are disabled in macbook, icloud.com, and my ios devices.
How can I remove default alarm for events in iCal on devices ios?
Thanks and sorry for my english.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.8

OK, so I have had this issue for the past several months. I think it all started when I upgraded to ML from SL and migrated my calendars and contacts to iCloud. That was a couple months ago. But now I am running 10.8.2, and about two weeks ago I upgraded my iOS devices to 6.0.1.
I don't seem to be having any issues with events that I create now, but all those old events that were migrated to iCloud a couple months ago, many of those sound alerts on the iOS devices even though there was no alert defined when the event was originally created. I have always had alerts off by default both in iCal and on the iOS devices.
So here's the question: is there a way to go through and disable all these spurious event alerts? I've been disabling them as the event reminders come up, but it's irritating. It would be nice if there was a way to turn them off all in one shot somehow.

ICal has dropped a monthly event for the previous four months....... why did it disappear? and where is it? It was the same event but a different day each month.

I installed this same digitizer in my T|X some weeks ago. Some discussion of my experience may be found in this Usenet posting and subsequent thread.
The stock digitizer in my T|X had always had some significant alignment issues (for which PowerDigi was able to compensate very nicely) and sensitivity which was uneven, but which usually required a heavier touch than I liked.
Eventually, it began to develop a “dead spot” near the upper left. My T|X was under warranty, so I probably ought to have sent it in to Palm to be repaired, but I wasn't willing to be without it for the required amount of time, and I've heard enough reports of other T|X owners getting unsatisfactory results this way. I'd heard enough good reports about the PDAPARTS.COm digitizer, that I decided that the only acceptable way to repair my T|X would be to install one of those.
After however many weeks it has been, I am still very pleased with the results. It continues to work flawlessly; it is much more sensitive, so it doesn't require nearly so heavy a touch, and I very much like the hard feel that it has, compared to the spongier feel of the stock digitizer.
My wife's T|X still has its stock digitizer, and it has so far not shown any of the same problems that mine did, or for which the T|X has become notorious, but the feel is noticeably inferior. She's content with it the way it is, but I think that if I were to ever buy another T|X for myself, I wouldn't wait for the stock digitizer to fail. The PDAPARTS.COM digitizer is simply superior in every imaginable way; and, in my opinion, a T|X with the PDAPARTS.COM digitizer installed is sufficiently superior to one with the stock digitizer (even if it isn't defective) to be very much worth the expense and trouble of installing it.

ICal Search doesn't find events in the "distant" future !!!

I posted this in LEOPARD and at the end, no resolution and "Fred II" recommended I post this is this Snow Leopard discussion - he sent me this link -- appreciate any comments!
Here's a bit of a disturbing one: I use iCal (Leopard, so iCal 3.0.8 1287) to keep track of many things- not just a meeting next week or a TO DO - but also for long-term planning. I wanted to enter a reminder for about December 2016 concerning social security - but first wanted to check if I hadn't already done this. I typed social in the iCal search box and everything through 2009 came up.
But, I said, that's a bit strange since I was almost sure I'd put something into iCal already.
OK so then I went to the date 28 August 2017 (shift-cmd-T) and once there, I did the same search - and voila - my event about "social security" from 17 Nov 2016 showed-up in the serach results section!!! (I later tried going to March 2016 and it worked as well - so seems it has to be within a few months / year from the date-- ?!?)
Went back to another date closer to today (28 March 2010) - it did not show up.
For other searches, some events for April 2010 have showed-up; but nothing 3 years in the future.
For some repeating items I get results showing 2008 - 2011, but never further than that if I start the search on today's date. (I get all events from past dates all the time).
Another "workaround" is that if I type the word social into Spotlight, it finds the 17 Nov 2016 event.
Is this a "bug" that iCal cannot find distant future events? Any comments or other people's experience really appreciated. It's not good, this - (like doing a search on an Excel Spreadsheet and only getting recently dated information or something like that. Not good).
Appreciate any feedback here.

DID NOT WORK - STILL NOTHING FOR 2016 - 2017
I suspect this is a bug or a limitation in the iCal program. After 3-4 hours of a rebuild in Spotlight, I tried searching from today's date for social - same as before - gets the past events; but I had to move to 2017 and re-searc to see my 2016 and 2017 events.
So this is a MAJOR MESS - but or limitation of the program.
Ah, 1993 there was the wonderful DayTimer program - could assign several labels to each event - and a whole lot more. iCal and Address Book are good - but really need something more - and also an integrated "OneNote" type program to easily handle addresses, events, photos, web sites, eM, letters and much more...
But back to this issue - it is NOT solve nor resolved. Bit of a disappointment here.
Any ideas or ??? - let me know!
Thanks and regards,

ICal imports Palm all day events as 2 day events - easy to fix?

Hi,
I want to make the switch from Palm desktop 4 to using iCal 3 but I've run into a problem. When I import the vcal exported from Palm, the iCal makes all of the all (one) day events into 2 day events.
Is there anyway to fix this so the all day event displays only on the day it was set for in Palm?
I'm hoping I don't have to do all of these by going back to my oldest events and changing the dates by hand because I have almost 9 years of data in my Palm calendar.
Thanks.

Just to update what I've been trying without success.
I exported the Palm datebook as .csv file. I then edited any entries that began and ended the same day without any times, i.e. the one day all day events, to begin at 12:01am and end at 11:59pm. Then after backing up my Palm user data and prefs, I erased my Palm data and reimported this .csv file into Palm desktop, then I reexported it to a vCal and imported that into iCal.
It made a mess out of things because I discovered some of these all day events also repeated. I'm not sure what to do with repeating events.
I tried going into iCal and manually changing the events but then I end up with many duplicates if they are repeating.
I exported the iCal data and opened it in Text Wrangler. Then I exported the calendar from Sunbird. It seems like the iCal is adding an extra "end date" that isn't in the file when I import it into Sunbird.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

DST iCal bug (at least for Sony Ericsson mobiles)

The recent Daylight Savings changes caused a baffling bug to show itself. I keep my phone's calendar (Sony Ericsson K610i) synchronised with my iCal calendar. This includes my timetable for the academic term, with about 13 weekly recurring events.
As the term starts in September, they straddle the change in daylight savings, so when the change occurred, all these recurring events appeared an hour earlier on my phone than in iCal.
I thought this was a time zone issue, but no amount of fiddling with time zone and DST settings on the phone resolved this. Eventually, I realised they were recurring, and moved the first occurrence of each event after the DST change in iCal, selecting "Update All Future Events", then moved them back. Suddenly on synching, they're correct (though only after the DST change — a well-known limitation).
This meets the definition of a bug in my mind, and should be resolved automatically by iCal/iSync. I hope that Apple will do something about this, as I couldn't find any explanation of this at all.

This has always been the case, for all Sony Ericsson phones, and neither Apple nor Sony Ericsson seem willing to fix it through years of different handsets and updated versions of iSync.
Basically, all you have to do when the clocks change, is change the Daylight Savings setting in the phone accordingly, and re-sync.
Everything will then be fine right up until any events after the next clocks change - so you're good for 6 months anyway!
I've also fiddled with all the internal options within the iSync (not accessible through the interface), and nothing works satisfactorily there either. It's possible to disable time zone support completely, but then you have to just change the time on the phone, instead of the Daylight Savings setting, so it's no easier than just re-syncing.

How stop iCal from switching all my events to the date beforeI assigned them? It saves but then when I open the program again all my events have been messed up.

iCal on my macbookpro moves events to the day before I originally saved them..especially birthdays. I will create an event for the 2nd of September, for example, and then when I restart my computer and open iCal the same event is saved for the 1st even though I created it for the 2nd. I continue to correct the moved events but iCal continues to move them. I do not use an iphone or ipad with my macbookpro. My computer is operating on mountain lion. Please help!

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.
