In Ical (OS 10.4.10) Month view

When in ical, the day and week view display but as soon as I click on month view the calendar disappears. Any ideas>

mkaff,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Very often iCal display anomalies can be rectified by refreshing your iCal plist file. This can be accomplished by quitting iCal and dragging 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 normal behavior. You can delete the iCal plist file on your Desktop.
Let us know what happens.

Ical cannot create event in month view

iCal cannot create event in month view. Is this a bug?
I've tried double clicking in a day as I always did but nothing.

Ko be,
Application UI issues are in many cases, caused by a corrupt plist file.
Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.

ICal not showing entries in month view

I have entered a entry that starts on the 22nd July at 0600 and ends on the 29th July at 0900. In the months view the only entry visible is on the 22nd and it just says 0600 not the title i have given the entry, in the day and week views the entry can be seen okay. If I change the entry type to all day event, then ical displays the title and it puts it in each day on the month view!! However as this is a timed event I don't want to change it to an all day event, I just want it to display each day in the month view....
I hope this makes sense, as I can't work out if this is a bug or if I really am doing something wrong, in Outlook/Entourage this would display as I need it to!
Cheers
Nick

ICal events not showing on month view

Hi everyone,
I have been facing a strange problem with iCal: some events (random), despite they sync fine with my gcal, will appear only in day or week view, never in month view. This is extremely annoyning as one can miss an appointment or book two meetings at the same time. Anybody got this problem and found/know a solution to this? Thanks a lot
macbook pro, lion 10.7.2 iCal 5.0.1

Hi again:
I just found out a simple solution for this issue. The problem is certainly an iCal bug and hopefully this will be fixed soon.
So, I just clicked on iCal preferences, set up monday as the starting day of the week and voila! The events are just there!
However, if you set it back for Sunday, events will be hidden again. Let's wait for this fix.
Cheers.

ICal problem creating event in month view

iCal does not allow me to create an event when in Month View. I used to be able to double click a date in Month View and could easily create an event. It does allow in Week View, but I like to use Month View. Anyone have this problem> Solution? Thanks!

I just barely had this problem. I restarted the program and it worked.

ICal time zone correct in month view, but wrong for individual events

I have my timezone set correctly to Pacific everywhere I know of (iCal upper right corner, iCloud account, computer, iPhone).
When I create an event (e.g. typing "6:30pm Work out" into a new event block), it shows up correctly (e.g. places itself at 6:30pm in monthly/weekly view).
However, when I click the event, in the details box it has the wrong timezone set (e.g. says that it's at 1:30am GMT).
This doesn't impact how things look in my calendar view, or how they sync to my iPhone and my Google calendars, all of that is fine.
What it DOES impact is that if I need to change the time, I have to go in and switch a bunch of things in invariably clumsy ways (e.g. change it to 7:30pm... oops, now it's tomorrow, switch its timezone to Pacific... shoot, now it's 9:30am, change back to 7:30pm...)
It's just annoying, and shouldn't be happening. Anyone know what is going on, and how to fix it? I've deleted the calendar cache, but it didn't help.

ICal Visually Overlapping Events on Month View

When I move from month to month (specifically from March to either February or April), I am having events from both months show up in the date boxes, one top of one another. I close iCal, and the screen is ok until I try to move from month to month again. Thanks for your help!

Greetings,
Thats sounds like a caching issue.
1. First make an iCal backup: 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 and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

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!

Month view help

Hello,
I am new to this whole Mac experience and am quite pleased so far but i do have a question about iCal and the way it's month view shows events. I frequently have events that span multiple days, i.e. begin at 3am on the 3rd and end at 11pm on the 5th. When iCal shows this event in "Month" view, it only puts an event on the 3rd and not one spanning the entire time as would an "all day" event. As someone coming from Microsoft Outlook, this was a great feature to have especially when events backed up to each other. Entourage does what I am asking it to do, but I'm not sure I want to pay for that...
thanks for all your help.

I have this problem too. Just started today all of a sudden. When I am in iCal on my Macbook, I double click - like I have been doing since ical was invented - and nothing happens, other than a quick "updating" message. I tried clicking the "+" button but all it gives me is "quick event" to add but nothing ever shows up in my iCal calendar on my mac. When I log into to iCal in the Cloud - lo and behold! - I see dozens and dozens of "new event" entries all over my calendar! What is going on and how can this be corrected? At this point my computer's ICal program is basically now useless since I am prevented from adding anything to it.

Viewing events in month view

Here's the thing: I often have multiple events/appointments on any given day, and what I find frustrating is that I can't see all of them in Month view (which I use most of the time).
When iCal decides there is too much info on a certain day, it puts three "periods" across the top of that day's box. This is aggravating for several reasons, 1) I can't see what the missing events are w/o changing to week or day views, 2) the periods are all too easy to miss, being small and out of the way and 3) perhaps most upsetting is the fact that iCal seems to do this arbitrarily.
Some days will show as many as four items, while others will only show two before giving up and hiding my info with the periods.
Question: Can this be altered in some way? Is there a setting or a work around? I like to use iCal, but I am a Month view kind of guy. If I can't fix this I'll have to look into other software, and I hate to do that.
Thanks for any tips or info.

The only way I know of controlling it is to make the iCal window bigger. I don't like this as it takes up too much screen space, but when I look at month view if I see a bunch of dots I try dragging out the window. I think vertical space is more important than horizontal. I don't know of any terminal tricks to control it. You could open up iCal's property list (in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist) in the property list editor and see if there is anything obvious, but I don't recall seeing anything. If you are going to experiment with the property list do it with iCal off and make a backup copy.

Month view doesn't show all events

Dear friends
Something strange started to happen with my iCal.
When I choose month view no events are shown at all.
They are all there because tehy´re shown both in week and day views.
Any clue?
L . gustavo

I have something very similar going on around on two machines used by colleagues.
One is a PowerPC G5 desktop and the other is an Intel MBP.
Weirdly enough, the events don't show only in october (month view), which is the current one.
We have found that by clicking one of the forward / back buttons you can see the next and previous months correctly, AND if you get back to october everything shows up again.
So there seems to be something wrong with the UI or sorta thing.
Both machines are up-to-date (10.4.10). Mac OS is set to run in US English.
Anyone? Help?

Mini Month View in iCal

Can't say I like the new iCal running on Lion. One feature that I can't seem to find is the mini month view. I did away with my paper calendar for viewing full months because of the mini month calendars on my Macs.
Is that functionality gone? I've searched preferences and menus and can't find a way to turn it on.
So many things about this new iCal that I find I do not like. I sure hope updates are coming to fix it.
CJ

Last thing about iCal which I think could be fixed, is that it would be easier to type down events and making line-breaks if one whouldn't have to hold 'Alt' in while doing it. I make line-breaks much more often than I finish editing an event (in which case you just press enter or click outside the event you were editing). It would be better to press 'alt' + 'enter' in order to finish editing an event, and reserve the action of just pressing 'enter' for line-breaks. This, btw, was also this way in iCal 4.
Ok, last last thing: in the preferences of iCal one can add a default alert to all new timed events and invitations and one can specify how many minutes before one wants to be alerted. I do not want to add a default alert to all new events/appointments, but I would like to be able to specify the default number of minutes put on all new alerts that I put on events. It seems quite intuitive to me that the default number of minutes one can specify for every alarm added to events by defult (if that option is checked in the preferences), should be the defult number of minutes set to alarms one manually puts on events, in stead of the '15 minutes before' default that is in the system and which seems to be unchangable.
If it says '0 minutes before the start time' there, then all alerts that I manually put on events should have this value put to zero by default!

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.
