ICal month view - appointments over two days

Very annoying but when entering a new event in the month view it defaults to an all day event - ok I can cope with that.
But when double clicking the new event to change it to a timed event (still in month view) and tabbing through the dates and time, the duration seems to default to 6+ hours, so after 17:00 defaults to being over two days and it is too easy to miss changing the end date.
Is there a way out of this?

In the month view, it's all down to the number of events you have on that day plus the size of the window/resolution of the screen.
If there's room, iCal will display all of an event's description, but if you shrink the window or add more events, the description will reduce in size- eventually into two columns - to give a chance of seeing all of them. Once there are more events than fit, you'll see an elipsis ( ... } at the top of the day. When this happens, you can only see ALL that day's events by going to week or day views.
You can potentially fit more in on the month view by turning-off the option to show the event time in month view in iCal Preferences.

ICal month view: too many days

When I view a month in "month view," I still see days from previous months. This wouldn't be so bad if they were grayed out, but events for those days are displayed in full color. So, for example, for June 2007, where June 1 is on a Friday, I'm actually seeing May 28, 29, 30, and 31. But I don't want to see May: I want to see only June. Is there some secret way to change this?
--Please ignore this ranty part while I vent--
If there's no way to change this, why not? Is there anyone out there who actually does want this to be the default? I'm at a loss as to why seeing days NOT in a specified month would be the default: they might as well have the "single day view" randomly decide to show 3 days instead of 1 day. Goofy.
--End of whining--
Thanks in advance for your kind help.

I have this same question! I DON'T WANT THE EVENT TIME TO SHOW ! I often just put my events anywhere on my calendar and have them take up 3 or 4 hours just so they show up larger, disregarding the times on the calendar, but rather typing my own times in at the beginning. So, having the actual calendar event time show is very confusing. Before the update, you could UNCHECK, show event times. NoW that option does not exist!! There must be a way to go into the system, and disable this function, however I am not computer literate enough to know how to do it without specific instructions. DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS??? Thanks in advance!!

ICal month view some events shown only as ..., they show correctly in other views.

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"

I am so disgusted with Verizon CS. Six hours over two days on the phone to upgade a phone and my plan. More to come, but I have names, and even a direct phone number to a "supervisor". I'll be posting more... The incompetence of EVERYONE (which is alm

I'll be posting all the details of this tomorrow.

So, I'm back, the OP.
As briefly as i can:
Two phone family, currently one smart, one dumb phone. The dumb is eligible for upgrade.
Call into V and spoke with "Anthony" to get info on what plan(s) I might consider as I upgrade the dump to a new iPhone 6. Currently an old "grandfathered in" Nationwide 700 plan. This was Friday Sept 19. Get some info, which I assumed to be correct, including the fact, his words not mine, that the "upgrade (device) fee" can be negotiable.
Before I had any first hand knowledge, I assumed that I'd better get a "second opinion" so I drove over to my local Verizon (corporate) store. Well, I got a different story, including the percentage of my employee discount on service, my employer gives a 20% discount and has for years, I have my current statement / bill in my hand. But no.... Verizon guy says that is wrong, its only 18%. I ask him about upgrade fee being negotiable. He says no, never. So what had I learned? That V guy on the phone from Friday was either lying or just ignorant.
Soooooo.... now its Tuesday, Sept 23. The "BIG" day, day of 3 hours 50 minutes on the phone with SEVEN different V people, all of them telling me something different about what plan(s) I'm eligible for, your employee discount is 17, no 18, no 20 percent. Yes we can negotiate an upgrade fee, no we can't... At one point, now a couple hrs into it I say I've had enough, I want to talk to a supervisor. "I'm sorry sir, supers can't come to the phone" WHAT? Well later, once I did speak to a first level supervisor and then a second level I of course found out that was wrong - more lies / misinformation? The supervisor took the name of that V CS rep and looked at my every growing call log and said that he would speak to the CS rep.
So, nearing the 3 hrs mark into my attempt to find out about plans and buy an upgraded phone for my plan I reach "Brian". I have his direct number. Apparently he is something more important that the past 6 people I've spoken to over the past thee hrs. I tell him: "EVERY SINGLE PERSON I've spoken to so far has told me something different, and or contradicted what the last person I've spoken to has said!!!!!" Yes you can have 2 single line plans, no you can't, to get this plan your upgrading device has to be on the "Edge" plan, no it doesn't, your employers discount applies to the bottom line, no it doesn't, only to the data, and on, and on, and on.
Sooooooo I tell Brian, "here's how its going to go... YOU are going to wave the upgrade fee. I don't care where the money comes from, V or right out of your pocket. I've been on the phone for now closing in on FOUR HOURS...."
Sooooo he agrees. I laugh and tell him, "You know, it has nothing to do with the money, not its all about screwing V as much as I can, and wasting yours and V's time."
He says, order your phone and plan this week and I'll call you Friday (today Sept 26) and then credit your account the fee.
Soooo yesterday (Sept 25) I call in to do just that, order the phone and plan, WHICH I was told really the only plan that would suit you would be a More Everything Plan. So, ok that's that.
I speak to a CS / Sales rep. I buy the phone and then we go on to the plan. I tell the rep THIS WHOLE LONG STORY, and it looks like we are heading towards the More Everything, BUT she says to me, "you know, you could do that Single Line plan for BOTH of your phones?" I say "WHAT????" I was told by two reps NO, and two reps "Well.... maybe". This plan gets me everything I want AND saves me $10 a mo.
Sooooo we go for that, BUT.... I can't change my plan (from current Nation Wide 700) to 2 two single line plans until I activate my new phone (which will be 4 weeks until I get it - iPhone 6), SOOOOO once it arrives I HAVE TO CALL BACK TO V and switch - how much fun will that be??? MORE time (hours?) with V.
So we agree.... The rep says I just have to transfer you to our automated system where you'll agree to terms and conditions.. Fine. Up comes the computer voice... and.... it says "hello.... you are upgrading your device (123) 555-1234 (it gives a real number), press 1 if this is correct." WHAT???? That is NOT the phone number of my device ***? The auto system gives me the option to press another number to "enter a different number", so I do, AND...... The call disconnects.
Now... If I could track down ANY ONE OF THE PAST 8 PEOPLE I'D SPOKEN TO OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS, YOU'D BE READING ABOUT ME - "Upset customer KILLS everyone at V". I AM SO ******* ****** OFF AT V... I'm now into 2 hrs today, plus the nearly 4 hrs the other day on the phone.
Soooooo.... I call back, have to tell the story again, this time to "Nick" in N.Y. Nick says just go on line to your account, you can accept the terms there. Well, what do you know.... It works, amazing.
But.... Nick says great and reads back the info on the phone I bought and says "...and I see you are on the More Everything Plan..." WHAT, STOP, STOP, STOP. I tell Nick, "Nope, I am not, I never agreed to that, I'm waiting, keeping my old plan for 4 weeks until I get the new phone, THEN I'm to call back (oh joy) to V and upgrade my plan"
Nick say's well you have the More Everything plan, and it is costing you $10 more a month, BUT I can't un-do it because there is a purchase (my phone) in progress... I am not BEYOND MAD. We are now at SIX HOURS TOTAL TIME ON THE ******* PHONE OVER TWO DAYS.
I ask to speak to Nick's supervisor. Melanie comes on the line. I, weather she wants to hear it or not, TELL HER THE ENTIRE STORY, that when (and GOD help him if he doesn't) Brian, the top end supervisor calls on Friday (today) to check on my experience buying the phone / upgrading the plan AND to credit my account the upgrade fee, I'm going to have to tell him about EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED TODAY and about the TWO MORE HOURS ON THE PHONE. Melanie says, yes you do now have a More Everything... All I can do sir is apply a credit back to your account for the difference in cost between your old (what was my current) and the new More Everything (the plan I NEVER agreed to be on).
So, that is where we are as of now, Friday Sept 26 AM. "Brain" said he'd be calling by noon-ish Pacific time. I've got his direct number, and If I don't here from him by noon, his phone will be ringing off the hook very 30 seconds until he picks up.
My experience to simply upgrade one of the two phones on my plan and the plan itself HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. VERIZON is sooo SCREWED UP. NO TWO PEOPLE KNOW THE SAME INFO, and the INEPTITUDE displayed is sickening.

When in ical monthly view how do I select one day to look at?

I am doing some work updating a variety of appointments in my diary, when I am in monthly view in ical, and I want to open up a day view in the future to look in more detail at the events for that day I am unable to choose a view for that day, I am automatically given todays view if I click on Day, and if I click on the day in question in the month view I am invited to add an event, which is not what I want.

roonz,
What operating system are you using?
I am using Mavericks Calendar. In "Month" view, when I click once on the day, and then switch to the "Day" view, the day that I clicked on once is displayed.

Can I change the Lion iCal Monthly View "New Event" from All Day?" Default?

I have tried all the posted suggestions to change the iCal "new event" preferably in Monthly View from the default of "All Day" but to no avail. This is a current issue so old terminal changes do not seem to work. Anyone have the same issue?

I also have an issue with not being able to change "end times". Four instance if I schedule an event at 9:00 AM iCal defaults to 10:00 AM. I'll click the end time to change it to 4:00 PM and the time will not change. It defaults back to the same start time or one hour later. I can get the drop down list to appear, but the options are not enough to schedule anything over 3 hours.
Nor can change the "add day" default.
I appreciate any advice/assistance you guys have.
Thanks!

ICal month view won't show some of my appointments.

Yes! I created a project from a trailer. I finalized then went and changed some things. After finalizing again the small preview shows the full trailer but the preview and all exported movies are blank for the first 10 seconds or so. Frustrating!

Text Wrapping in iCal Month View?

How can I get event descriptions to wrap on the month view of my calender? Sometimes only one line of text appears and only the time of the event is visible, while in other events the text will wrap over to a second line and I can read the entire description. It’s frustrating to have to open the edit box to see what the event is!

In the month view, it's all down to the number of events you have on that day plus the size of the window/resolution of the screen.
If there's room, iCal will display all of an event's description, but if you shrink the window or add more events, the description will reduce in size- eventually into two columns - to give a chance of seeing all of them. Once there are more events than fit, you'll see an elipsis ( ... } at the top of the day. When this happens, you can only see ALL that day's events by going to week or day views.
You can potentially fit more in on the month view by turning-off the option to show the event time in month view in iCal Preferences.

Ical monthly view on ipad not showing time

My ical preference from my laptop is not carrying over to ipad. How can I get ical (in monthly view) to show appointment time withou

No, the appointments will not "get messed up". If you leave time zone support off the calendar will stay exactly as it was at home. If you turn on time zone support for the new time zone you're in ( or other country ) the appointment times will change or convert to times and days in that zone or country. When you turn off time zone support after returning home it'll all convert back to that time zone.
Example. You have an appointment (10am Thursday) with Joe in your hometown in Chicago. On Tuesday you fly to Tel Aviv and switch Time Zone Support on for Tel Aviv. The calendar will show the upcoming appointment with the newly converted time and date in the calendar. At that new time and date of the appointment it'll be 10am Thursday back home.

Annoying listings in iCal month view

I have both my laptop and the desktop calendar preferences set to "show time in Month view." The desktop looks exactly like I want it:
10:00 am Division meeting
But recently the laptop calendar entries have started to look like this:
[Nov 20, 2008]10:00am
Division meeting
I don’t recall doing anything to make this happen and am tempted to blame MobileMe. Its very annoying because it takes up space to have the date printed out for every appointment when there is already a date in the calendar. Further, when I try to print a calendar page it only prints the date/time and not the name of the appointment. I’ve checked preferences, but can’t find where to change this. Its making me nuts.
So,in the month view I want to go from this:
[Nov 20, 2008]10:00am
Division meeting
Back to this:
10:00 am Division meeting
I'm sure there is something simple I've just overlooked, but I'd appreciate some help

A quick view marker in calendarto view upon opening ical monthly view

Hi,
How can I put an asterisk/similar marker onto a date in the monthly view of ical to highlight that there is an event on that date, which can be viewed when first opening ical without having to actually open all the days to see if an event is on for that day? Sometimes I forget what i have on in a given month and have to open all dates to view them!
Thanks,
george UK

You must mean the mini calendar's monthly view, and you don't use the month view in iCal otherwise? In month view, you already have all events and days available so I don't think that's what you intended. I can't imagine opening individual days to see if events are contained within.
I think you can achieve what you want simply by toggling the month view at the top of the window, as the mini calendar is only useful for an overview of days. Two clicks at the top and you've scanned the entire month in detail then returned to your original view.

TS1702 iCal month view display problem

iPhone 4GS after upgrade to IOS 6.0.0 and still with 6.0.1, iCal in month view is inconsistently showing dots on the dates when I have events occurring. The events themselves are there, but often the dots themselves do not display. A month with 12 days of events might show only one or two dots. Never happened before upgrades.

Hey, thank you.
But how do I change the font and its size?
I tried....
Thanks,

ICal Month Viewing issues "The 3 dots of death"

Hi,
Im experiencing problems viewing my month view, i run my business which is holiday lets, off my ICal.
I mainly use my month view because i can see availability and communicate this to clients when the call up to book/check availability.
My problem is that when i have more then three (all day selected) week bookings along side each other then the dreaded "3 dots of death" appear at the top of the day box, telling me i have more info for that day to view.
I want to know if i can just get all the info on there instead, there is blatantly enough space below as the info only takes up half the date square.
The maximum i would need would be 6 along side each other (change over days)
The other thing is that i already have separate calenders for my other accomodation. and i really need these ones to stay together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Its driving me spare!
Regards

Potential workaround:
I feel your anger. I don't understand how that ellipsis helps.
If you already keep a discrete calendar, with a unique colour ID for those day-longs that you'd like to list six events, would mimicking all-day events during the same hour serve the purpose?
They stay together if chronologically identical times (I stopped adding at 20 events and going strong) and appear the same colour if from the same calendar, but lack a solid ground without "all-day" selected. For multiple days, repeat hourly overlapping events "every day" and "end" on the date of choice, or repeat weekly if appropriate.
I think this would look similar to what you want but you have to get used to treating a colour as an all-day cue instead of the solid ground appearance. I assume another calendar's events could appear in the middle chronologically, so create the all-day imitators during an hour that you won't likely split up, like non-work times.

Monthly view shows dots on days when I have nothing planned

At the beginning of each month, the monthly view of the calander shows dots on days that I have nothing planned. How do I delete?

Tap the rectangle over the 2 lines and make sure it no longer shows up in red. At this point, you should have only the month view, no daily appointments below. Now press on a specific day, and this will either:
1. Take you into the daily view with the hourly breakdown. If this is the case, tap the three horizontal lines at the top to get the list.
2. Take you directly to the list view
