ICal: only one colour in year view

Hi, my issue is that my different calendars (Red- college, green-work, blue-holidays), all appear as yellow when viewing iCal as year view. When viewing the calendar as weekly and monthly I can see which calendar is which, but in year view I can't. This means that I see a huge block of yellow and can't differentiate days I'm in class from days I'm on placement, or days I have exams from days I am on holidays.
Please help!!

Fufidus, I have the same gripe and I know what you're talking about.
I have about four different calendars (Work, Family, national holidays and a shared calendar 'Leave schedule').  Each has its own colour, and I would expect that when I look at my various events (some stretched out over weeks and months) I should be able to see that colour representing the respective category in the year view.  This would make sense and allow me to differentiate between the different categories over the year planner view and therefore have a good overview for the year.   This is important for me as I need to plan my schedule between work and family at least 6 months in advance and likewise with my colleague.
What actually happens instead, is that all those different calendar categories all show as one colour, being yellow highlights, which doesn't help at all.  It's confusing, especially if I'm trying to collaborate with my colleague or show the year view to my wife.  We cannot distinguish any of the events on the year view unless you click on that day.  The four categories just merge as one colour on the year view.  Spots where two events overlap become red.
A picture is a thousand words so here is a snapshot.  Tell me if this would make any sense to you....
If you switch back to month view, then the category colours appear as they should.
I hope the iCal developers could take note of this issue if they have not already done so and perhaps improve on this in the next update.  I would be most grateful.  I don't really fancy having a third party app as I'd like to keep things simple and keep to one OS X app that can sync between devices.

    Yes you certainly can.

  • Way to rollback only one row of a view object

    Is there a way to "rollback" only one row of a view object? That is, two or more rows have been modified but we wish to only restore one of the rows to the original (database) values.
    Is there a way to retain all of the current rows in all of the view objects for an application module after issuing a jbo:Rollback?
    Thanks

    Is there a way to "rollback" only one row of a view object? That is, two or more rows have been modified but we wish to only restore one of the rows to the original (database) values.In jdev903, a new method is being added to Row interface to reset the row state to the transaction-original state i.e., rollback the row to it's original values.
    Is there a way to retain all of the current rows in all of the view objects for an application module after issuing a jbo:Rollback?No. You may however override before/afterRollback methods on the ViewObjectImpl subclasses to cache the current row key in beforeRollback and restore currency on the default iterator to that rowkey in afterRollback

  • Palm Desktop 6.2.2: Can't print only one category in Month View

    I recently upgraded my palm desktop to 6.2.2 when I got a new PC with windows vista.  When I am in the month view of the calendar and I choose to print, it prints all categories regardless of which category I have selected in the onscreen display.  In my previous version of palm desktop running on windows XP I was able to print only a single category of appointmenets in the month view.  I think of this as a bug.  Is there any way to fix this? 
    Post relates to: Treo 650 (Sprint)

    I have the similar problem.  I have three separate calendars but when I try to print only one, the outcome is that the information in all three calendars gets printed as one.  I cannot find a fix.  HELP.

  • How to make only one colour show.

    Okay so say I take some footage I just shot and I want the colour blue to ONLY show up and all the other colours turn black and white, how would I do this?
    so ONLY blue will be in the footage, the other colours are black and white.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum.
    As stated, Leave Color Effect is exactly what you want. I'd like to put in a bit of a plug for Adobe Classroom in a Book Premiere Pro CS5, Adobe Press, out very soon, if not already on shelves where you are. The author covers this very Effect very well. Doubt that you will find a better tutorial on the Effect anywhere else.
    Also, it's great reading, and a book worth every $.
    Good luck,

  • YEAR VIEW IN iCAL PLEASE!!!

    I can't believe this, I finally get round to organizing myself and ical doesn't do a year view.
    I have hunted online for some way to make this happen and have ended up making a pdf of a printout to be able to see it.
    This can only be a temp solution, as my diary changes a lot and printing/pdf is not very elegant or efficient or even that easy to read quickly.
    In my online search I have found posts requesting this as far back as 2003, and 6 years is to long to wait for something that surely must be such a simple solution.
    I'm also stunned by the lack of plugin/widget/app solutions from 3rd party developers, I would definitely pay a a buck or 2 for something to let me do this well within ical,
    And If I want it you can be sure there are at least another 100,000 who would also pay, maybe we could get the guy who wrote the ifart app for iphone to write it for us, about 2000 people a day were buying that at 99 cents a pop in the run up to christmas.
    Apple should embarrassed by this.
    If anyone knows the solution please post it.

    Well, not Apple developers, they don't read these user-to-user forums. Try OS X Feedback

  • Multi-day events only showing up on first day of event in year view

    There are several things about iCal that I find annoying (makes me miss my old Palm PDA sometimes), such as being able to set my own default meeting times, meetings being defaulted to all-day, no way to connect a contact to the event without having to invite them to join (my old Palm did this and it was a very useful tool). Each of these has many discussions already on these topics with a solution (except adding a contact to an event), such as simply typing in the meeting time when you setup the event.
    However, I can't find a discussion on the following question, and therefore no solution. Hope someone out there knows the answer:
    Why do Multi-day events only show up on the first day of the event in year view, and is there a way to change it?
    Thanks in advance!

    Greetings,
    Perhaps I'm not setting up my events as you are but I see a color for each day of my multi-day event.
    My steps:
    1. Add a multi-day event to iCal:
    2. Switch to Year view and observe the matching date range (26th - 29th):
    Suggestions:
    Make sure you have all your updates installed (Apple > Software Update).
    Toggle the "all day" check box for the events in question and see if that makes the events show up in Year view.
    If that doesn't help, please provide a screen shot of the edit window of the event in question so we can see how you have it configured:
    Cheers!

  • Calendar - Year view??

    My iPad had a superb calendar with a year view. Seems a shame iCal doesn't have this simple facility. Is there a way to get it, or a suitable (compatable) calendar that does?

    iCal doesn't have the year view in Snow Leopard.
    When you upgrade to Lion, iCal looks very much like the calendar on the iPad.

  • In ical, only since the update, when I look at the day view, I can no longer scroll down indefinitely; it stops at one day only

    Since the update, when I use ical , and am on the day view, I no longer can scroll down through multiple days; it stops at one day only. Seems like a poor design change. Any idea how to reverse this?

  • IPhone Calendar List View Extends Back Only One Year

    My iPhone calendar List view extends back approximately one year despite the fact that I have calendar entries extending back to 1999 and that older data is visible under the Day and Month views. This is a problem because the only search mechanism in iPhone calendar is through the List view. Therefore, any search I conduct extends back only to the data in the List view ... which means back only one year.
    Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how I could change this such that the List view extends to include ALL of my calendar entries and is in conformity with the Day and Month views? (I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to "correct" this, but perhaps Apple has designed it this way to speed-up the searching in List view ... I'm not certain.)
    I am currently running the most recent iOS update, am syncing my iPhone calendar via MobileMe, have upgraded to the new version of the MobileMe calendar, and have ALREADY reset my sync. history, deleted my iPhone calendar and re-synced it, etc. These don't resolve the problem.

    I've noticed that the date to which the List View will "look back" will change depending on software updates or syncs.
    For instance, a few weeks ago my List View went back to December 2009 ... now it goes back to Jan. 2010 (i.e. I lost a month of "look back"). I do not specifically recall what triggered this change, but I reset my sync. log during this period.
    If you make no changes to the sync. log or update the software, the List View start date will stay constant I believe. For instance, if the List View goes back to Jan. 1, 2010 right now it should stay that way until you reset the sync. log or update the iPhone software. Theoretically then the List View can "look back" much longer than 12 months assuming you make no changes to the sync. log or update the software. Of course, this doesn't address our issue here, but I thought I would point out that there seems to be a consistent pattern here and not some random bug screwing things up.
    I'm still thinking that this is the way Apple intended it to work. In other words, that Apple felt it necessary to limit the calendar search feature to approximately 12 months worth of calendars. I hope I'm wrong.

  • Ical year view

    hi !
    i was wondering if someone has come up with a way of getting ical to show entire years. maybe a little help programm from the depths of the mac community ?
    thanks !

    Anyone got any latest news update of this?
    It makes absolutely no sense to me and makes year view poinless. I can't see multiple events.
    I can't believe how awfully regressive iCal is to be honest. It's not the mainstay of what I do but every time I use it I end up saying, "why the **** won't it let me do that?" or "why have they done THAT?"
    It's out of character with all the other Mac software that has always been useful and completely intuitive. ICal has been an orphan child for years and this Lion update has just papered over the cracks for me.
    How about allowing scrolling from one month to the next? How about running the months of the year into each other, especially  in year view? We don't make a big distinction between 30th June and 1st July in real life so why treat then as a separate page and block them out? It's so frustrating it makes me angry.
    I suppose it's like the arguments I used to have with PC users years ago. Yes it does everything, but it's not much fun doing it and fun has always been the Mac way.
    Come on Apple, look into this. It's not 3D modelling. It's a bloody calendar!

  • ICal year view colors

    Is there a way to change the color of the calendar events when you are viewing the calendar in the Year View?
    My wife and I both share each other's calendars. Her color is blue and mine is orange in the daily/weekly/monthly views it shows up with the corresponding colors. Yet, when I click on the year view I get this:
    I can understand the days where we both have events listed being a different color, but it should at least display blue for the days that have events for her calendar and orange for mine but that's not the case. Any way to fix this? Or can someone explain to me why it shows these colors instead?

  • ICal events disappear only in Day and Week views

    Using iCal 3.0.2, I have suddenly acquired a new behavior. Several "subscribed" calendars appear fine in Month view, but their events do not appear in Day or Week view.
    I have deleted Caches > com.Apple.iCal and I have deleted Libraries > Calendars > Calendar Cache. Neither has had any effect. I also tried deleting Preferences > com.Apple.iCal.
    Any ideas on how to be able to see these events in the Day or Week views?
    Thanks very much,
    Gus

    Still no date headings when my calendar is views in the Day and Week views. All of my appointments are there. The days of the month appear in Month view. But when I change to week or day, I don't know what day I'm looking at because there are no dates. Only "2010" appears in the upper left.
    Any ideas? I couldn't be the only one this has happened to!
    Thanks, Wendy

  • Can Cover Flow view be limited to playback of only one album at a time?

    Hi all,
    I've been using the Cover Flow view in my iTunes Library more and more lately (after years of suffering owning a slow machine). But there has been a question regarding playback that has been slightly nagging me for a little while. I couldn't come up with effective search results, so I'll pose the question to the masses.
    Cover Flow playback (by default) seems limited to playing through one album and jumping straight into the next album in the Library without stopping. Scroll through the track listing in the lower screen and you'll notice that iTunes lists every track from every album in your Library.
    (picture one of those digital bar jukeboxes and an unlimited bankroll...)
    Conversely, when clicking the album's title in the default List view, iTunes will only play the tracks in that particular album's playlist, and stop playback once this is finished. I have grown used to this option when desiring to fall asleep to one particular album only... and not the 476 albums which follow it.
    Is there a workaround in place to emulate this "List View" playback behavior for Cover Flow playback?
    Just curious... if not, it isn't the end of the world - List View will still continue to serve its specific purpose for my needs.
    I just have a thirst for knowledge.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Jeremy,
    Conversely, when clicking the album's title in the default List view, iTunes will only play the tracks in that particular album's playlist, and stop playback once this is finished.
    I'm not sure I follow you here — if I click a track in list view, iTunes always goes on to the next track when it's over (assuming Shuffle is off). If that's the next track on an album, great, but when I come to the end of an album it moves on to the next one.
    Or are you talking about the Browser? Selecting an album in the Album browser pane will indeed produce the results you're describing, since the rest of your library will be excluded.
    Yes that's correct - my apologies, I was at work at the time and was working from memory. I've had the Browser enabled since day one that it almost becomes second nature.
    My iTunes interface, while displaying in List mode with the Browser active, limits the upper display fields to only Artist and Album panes.
    And exactly as you said, once the album finishes playing, iTunes ceases playback.
    Is there a workaround in place to emulate this "List View" playback behavior for Cover Flow playback?
    Yes, but it's a bit clunky: use the Search box to narrow down your library until only one album is displayed.
    Yes you are correct - it is a bit clunky. But it does work for the most part, provided that the album title is unique from a song title on another album.
    Thanks for the info Jeremy!
