ICal Week view acting strange

Hi. Is is just me or iCal's week view is acting really strange under Snow Leopard? I just upgraded to 10.6.2, and the problem continues, so I decided to post here.
The problem is the following: when iCal is in Week view, showing 7 days per week (as opposed to 5, workdays), I can scroll just a couple of weeks forward or backwards before it goes crazy. Sometimes it shows 6 or 5 days instead of 7 in the top of the window (but a different number of days in the appointments area itself, so that it appointment is shown between two days), sometimes it stops scrolling, sometimes an appointment appears to be in the wrong date (a birthday in 22-oct appears to be in 21-oct in week view, but appears in the right date in month and day views).
The problem only manifests itself when preferences are as following:
- Days per week: 7
- Start week on: Sunday
- Scroll in week view by: weeks
Any other combination makes it work fine (unfortunately this is exactly the way I wanted it to work...)
I have submitted this problem to Apple as a bug report, but got no answer (not a surprise here...). Is anybody else having the same problem? It is making me crazy not to know whether this is specific to me and my machine or a general bug.
Please advise!

i know exactly what you're talking about. I've been having the same exact issues you've listed, plus more. my repeating appointments (my semesters worth of classes) shift an hour back or forwards, but only after certain dates. its a whole bunch of weird stuff and it also only happened after Snow Leopard. i also sync via mobile me to my iphone, and the incorrect times push onto my iphone. anyone heard of this or solutions?

After ios5 update, iCal week view Oct 2-8 has 2 Saturdays?

Is anyone else having problems with iCal week view on iPad after ios5 update?
Two major changes have occurred...
1. Week view used to start on Monday, now Sunday (and can't change it back).
2. If you look at the week October 2-8, 2011 there are 2 Saturdays and no Friday or following Saturday...
Any ideas? Is this a wait for ios5.1 issue?
Cheers
Chris

If you are using a Mac, go to Settings>Software Update ... check for any updates, and update all.
Chances are you are not using iTunes 10.5, which is required to sync iOS 5.
If youare using a PC, suggest you uninstall your iTunes, download fresh iTunes 10.5 from Apple.com/itunes and install it.

ICal Week view, Date is not aligned with the Time(schedule) of each date

Well, just like it says over there (`` ). I've recently been to China for a business trip, and I suppose the different time zone may have had something to do with the problem. Now I'm back home, changed the time zone back to normal, still the iCal shows in the weekly view that the Date on the above is not aligning with the Time and schedule. Any suggetions would be grateful!!!

Hi,
i omit the scheduling maergin key in material master,
the result of MRP is
BASIC DATES
Finish 15.10.2009
Start 14.10.2009
PRODUCTION DATES
15.02.2010 14:33:25
14.10.2009 07:00:00
scheduling type i planned order is still "backwards"
so in MD04 it is say that the goods is available at 15.10.2009 same with requirement dates.
this seem not right.
it seems that order finish date is not adjusted by lead time scheduling on "today scheduling".
Is there a way so order finish date is adjusted by lead time scheduling on "today scheduling" ????
Best regards,
Freddy Ha

ICal Week View

I have been using the "week view" in iCal for years now and today I can no longer view my iCal in weekly view? Any ideas?

Hi,
I suggest you go to ~Library/Preferences/ (where ~ is the path to your User's Home folder) and move the file com.apple.ical.plist to your Desktop. Then re-start iCal.

Print ical weekly view with fewer hours

When I print iCal in a weekly view, It prints 24 hours. Obviously that isn't necessary. How can I get it to print only 12 hours or the hours I have on my schedule?

I was able to figure it out. Apparently I had the times in wrong for an event and it went from pm one day to am the next day, hence prining 24hr. When I corrected this is solved my problem. Thanks for your patience.

Ical week view not working

Hello!
I've been using ical for ages and have never had a problem before. Completely out of the blue I can no longer view my calender in week view. When I select 'week' the whole window disappears. I then have to goto 'view - month/day' to see the window again. How can I stop it doing this? It will happily change between month and day, but week seems to be hidden. it's frustrating.

I've fixed it - I found someone else with the same question!

ICal week view window is gone. When selected the window disappears.

Whenever I click on view->week view (or just the "week" button on the bottom row) my ical window disappears. No idea where it is going. If I click on view->day/month the window comes back. However, after it comes back in day or month view, the info sidebar (and button at the bottom to control it, along with the todo and results list buttons beside it) now isn't there.
Any ideas how to fix this? I think it happened when I plugged my laptop into a 1024x768 projector and then changed my mind quickly and unplugged it, but it has been like this for a couple of weeks now through several reboots etc.
This is a macbook pro running tiger.
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce,
Often iCal display anomalies can be rectified by refreshing the iCal plist file.
Quit iCal, and drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file which is located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and check iCal for desired behavior.

ICal week view format

I use iCal for all my scheduling and in a busy household a printed hard copy on the refrigerator is helpful. I would like to use the weekly view but find the format unfriendly- both printed and displayed on screen . I would prefer to have the days of the week along the verticle axis and the time along the horizontal. I would rather use Apple's native iCal instead of a different third party product. Is there any kind of plug-in or dodad to provide this format? If not does anyone know of an alternative application that will provide this format and work seamlessly with the Apple way of doing things?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Open iCal's Preferences window and from the General tab change the "Show XX hours at a time" to what you'd like to see.

Ical week view glitches

In the last few days, my ical 8.0 week view, on my laptop running OS 10.10.1, has suddenly become glitchy. Some days' info does display, while other days display as are blank. When I switch to day or month view all the data is still there. But week view is the main one I use, and I need a solution.

Hi,
Open iCal's Preferences window and from the General tab change the "Show XX hours at a time" to what you'd like to see.

ICal "week view" question

Is it possible to advance one day at a time in the "week" view mode in iCal? I can only advance one week at a time.
I have my week starting day set to "Monday," but I sometimes want to be able to see events over a long weekend (from, say, Friday to Monday) or another period of time that doesn't begin on Monday and end on Sunday. In those cases, I have to either go to "month" view or reset my week start day in the preferences. Palm Desktop allows me to advance one day at a time while in week view, a feature I didn't know I was giving up when I converted to iCal.

John,
I agree with Todd.

Bug in iCal weekly view

The weekly view in the default Calendar app on my ipad shows events ONE DAY BEHIND the correct date of the event. For example if I create an "all day" event for Friday 23rd July it will appear correctly on the 23rd in ALL VIEWS EXCEPT THE WEEKLY VIEW where it displays on the 22nd? This is happening with all entries. I have tried deleting & recreating the event and have tried re-boots etc., but the problem remains. Can someone help?

You can disable the context highlighting if you find that distracting. In this case it should make noticing that something is wrong more easily though. A link starts with a quote and ends with a quote and everything between the two is considered the link. If the second quote is omitted then it is the choice of the developer on how to deal with it. Either not to interpret the text in between (you may even have forgotten to HTML escape some characters &quote; &lt;) or try to catch up in case you forgot a closing quote. Both can have their disadvantages in case of an error from you.

IPad Ical Week View BUG

I just realized this problem on my iPad.
In the WEEK VIEW... the Right Arrow does not respond in either the portrait or landscape mode. when tapping the next week, the previous week is displayed. and when tapping the left arrow, the week skips one week and displays 2 weeks back.
For example if i am dispalying the week sept 5 - 11, tapping sept 12-18 will not show that week. But tapping sept 19-26 will display the sept 12th -18. Also tapping the left arrow goes back 2 weeks instead of just one.
I was on call with Apple for 2 hours and did every single trouble shooting step and they were quite suprized themselves with this problem. He said it was never heard of.
I checked it on a friend's ipad and the same bug was on it too. I am relieved that I am not the only one facing this problem.
I wonder if an update will solve this even I was asked to send the Ipad to the Service center. But now i wont coz we know its not a Hardware problem.
Wish there is a solution to this soon.
Please reply.

Yes i restored it as a New iPad with the Calendar completely empty. But still the same problem. Apple says I am the first to complain about this problem and they need to see the iPad.
I live in India where there Ipad is not launched and so the nearest service center is Singapore. On having checked if the same happens on another iPad, I checked it on my friends iPads and out of 4 more, 2 had the same problem as mine. So now i know it is not a problem with the hardware. and so i dont intend to send it to the service center.
I hope the next update solves this. I usually use the Week View and its disappointing that that view itself has the bug.

10.6 iCal week view and mini calendar are out of sync-how to fix?

How does one re-establish "sync" between the large window week view and the small mini calendar month view displayed on the lower left side? Mine is out of sync by a month. Thanks!

Are they off by always the same amount of time or they drift apart over time?
If the former, you may try a quick adjustment, though it is a manual affair. Control-click on the clip in the browser, choose "Open in Timeline" and try moving the audio to match.
If I remember correctly, DV tape audio could be recorded in 32KHz or 48KHz. The latter is the one that should be used, always.
Maybe this one was recorded at 32KHz?

Hide night hrs in iCal week view?

I am trying to hide my sleeping hours from view in iCal. I go to preferences>advanced> and select 8 to 6 with 12 viewable hours, but the grayed out sleeping hours are taking up the top third of my calendar. Can't you customize it not to display those? I am wondering if I have missed an iCal upgrade?

How did you resolve this? I've been trying to figure it out all day!!

Printing iCal weekly list view

Experimenting with a trial version of Missing Sync to sync my Palm with iCal. Is it possible to delete the notes that appear under each event when I print the weekly list view? I print out 8 days and I want to keep it to one page. Eliminating the notes would help. Or is it possible to add the time frame to each event in the week view so you can more easily see the begin and end time for each event?
Is the Missing Sync program worth it or should I just use the sync program that came with iCal?

+1 to it's return.
Seems strange that it's been removed when, with the increased convergence of OS X and iOS, it's a view that available in the Calendar app in iOS.
Like others here, this was the most useful view for me and I'm disappointed it's not there, hope it comes back with the Yosemite .1 release.
Unfortunately it hasn't .
