Ical month view problems

For some reason when I click on month view Ical dissapears. The Ical tool bar at the top remains but thats it. Any ideas?

Hi John,
Yes, it seems to happen to quite a few people.

One solution seems to be, as AJ3 writes, to delete iCal's preference file.
I also came across this which may help somebody:

  • 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"

  • 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 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • Can I show a color bar instead of a color bullet in iCal Monthly view for all my events in all calendars?

    In the Monthly view of iCal the only events that show a color bar in the event is the Birthday Calendar. All other events in all my other calendars only show a color bullet next to the event (unless I click on that event which then shows as a color bar). I would like to know if it is possible for all the calendar events to have a color bar in the monthly view instead of just that tiny color bullet.

    Greetings Judith,
    Before making any attempts at deleting calendar data, backup what you have just in case:
    Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    iCal has an automated function located in iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Delete events "X" days after they have passed.  By typing in a value for days you can tell iCal to delete all events before that time frame.
    Example:
    Today is 4-16-2012.
    If I wanted to delete all events prior to 1 year ago (4-16-2011) I would type in "365" for the number of days.
    Once you type in the number of days you want kept in iCal, close the preferences and then quit iCal.
    Re-open iCal and check to see if the events are gone.  If not you may want to leave it open for several minutes and then quit again.
    Once the events are removed go back to  iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Delete events "X" days after they have passed and make sure the check mark is removed to prevent future deletion.
    Hope that helps.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ICal monthly view 12 hour v 24 hour display

    How do I get time displayed as (for example) 7.20am showing on Monthly view in iCal on Lion.  It shows in the event but not on Monthly view.

    JEG,
    Do you have iCal>Preferences...>General>"Show Event Times" selected?
    Additionally, go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set your "Region.'

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Month view problems in Mac Calendar App

    I am not able to see more than five or six events in the Mac Calendar App (using Yosemite).  It says there are four or five more events on the day, but I click on the day and nothing appears.  I click on "5 more" but it won't tell me what the 5 more events are.  This makes the month view kind of useless to me.  Does it bother anyone else??  The "year" view is much more informative.  I can click on any date and see ALL the events that day.  I don't know any way to see all the events in the month view, however, and that seems weird.  If there IS a way, please let me know.  There are no instructions, and there seem to be no complaints on the forum or anywhere else.  I guess I will mainly use my google calendar online - which will let me see all the events I have scheduled just by clicking the "+5 more" link.

    Your post makes no sense, unfortunately. Please try again to describe your problem.

  • 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!
