Mini Month views

I seem to be able to only view the mini months as previous month>current month. Is there a way to show current month>next month?

Joe,
Navigating in a calendar, and Choosing the days and times you see on the calendar should help describe how to manipulate the mini-calendar view.

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.

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!

Mini-month view stuck on January 2007. Non-functional.

Hi there,
As the subject line indicates, my mini-month view has stopped functioning. It is stuck on Jan 07 and clicking to a month and selecting a day results in a flicker, no movement to the main calendar window and the mini-month returning to Jan 07.
Not sure what to do to fix from here. I've deleted my preferences file and rebooted iCal - no change to the problem.
Any advice is appreciated!!
Cheers,
Dan

ICal Mini-Month View question

A quick question.
Using iCal on Leopard...I noticed the mini-month view doesn't show any marks on it for days that have events. I seem to remember a little dot on the days, in Tiger. Or am I just spoilt looking at the month view on the iPhone, or iPod Touch?
Is there anyway of having it have little dots or halos or anything to indicate when I have an event on a certain day in the mini-month view?

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.

View Outlook Calendar on iPhone In Day, Week, Or Month Views--NOT As A List

I apologize in advance if this has been asked already but couldn't find the answer after an extensive search.
My question is, after syncing my Outlook calendar to the iPhone, how can I view my appointments other than as a list in the iPhone? I would like to view my appointments in either day, week, or month views as opposed to only knowing what my next two or three appointments are. To me it just seems like a simple setting I'm overlooking somewhere. I appreciate any help you can afford
Thanks in advance,
-V5

*iPhone calendar views are a joke!*
My 90's Palm Vx had far more usable views via Pimlico Software. The gray scale display with poor resolution was able to show one or even two weeks with appointment texts.
What does iPhone have? List view is the best there is. One sees all appointments with only just scrolling. Day view is terrible. The whole day should be visible without scrolling for it to be at least somewhat efficient. Now one has to first select a day with arrows and after that scroll thru the day and after that select another day and scroll again. No way. Month view is very poorly designed! The grid takes way too much space and who decided to put the appointment list in the bottom of the screen when one's index finger blocks it if sliding thru days in the grid!!! Oh man!!! Unlock the landscape view and please make the grid a little bit smaller and please place the appointment list on the left or at least on the right side. And make its font way smaller! No point in seeing two appoinments without scrolling.
iPhone's wonderful screen would be able to show one or two weeks with written appointments in a list like manner especially landscape. I mean seven columns titled Mo-Su and all appointments listed in that day's column.
Hopefully SDK will let someone else do it if Apple won't.
And we have to get to copy appointments and paste them to other days also. I am spending 30 min writing the same info one at a time to our monthly plan. Everyone else is already having a cup of coffee.

TZ of Day/Week/Month View is US/Pacific - Info Box & System TZ US/Eastern

Just noticed this - don't think its been happening for long - probably a couple of days at the worst.
When I create a New Event, the Time Zone is automatically incorrectly set to US/Pacific. I change it to Eastern (via Info Box) and it displays in the Info Box as Eastern, but the Daily/Weekly/Monthly view seems to remain at US/Pacific. (System prefs set to Eastern TZ).
In addition ALL my events display in Day/Week/Month view as US/Pacific TZ, even tho Info Box TZ (and system TZ) is US/Eastern.
For Example: Info box says event starts at 5PM goes to 9PM, Time Zone is US/Eastern. Calendar Display in Day, Week or Month shows event from 2PM to 6PM.
This has affected every one of my events.
I am running OSX 10.4.9,build 8P135 iCal Version 2.0.5 (1069)
iCal Support for Time Zones turned On.
Date/Time System Preferences appear to be OK
System Time (measured by Menu Clock and verified by save time on a file) is OK - (Am writing this at about 2:40PM EST, Sunday 6/3/2007.

It was US/Pacific -
I just changed it to US/Eastern and everything seems to work correctly now. I never even noticed that setting before - I guess I may have reset it by accident?
I see you're from Bristol, UK. A friend told me a few hours ago that he has to make a business trip there sometime this summer and was thinking about bringing his family (from Boston, USA). We were not too clear on English geography tho - is Bristol a decent family vacation destination?

Appointments lasting several days not displayed in month view?

Hallo everybody,
unfortionally I frequntly have buisness trips, seminars or a long distance flight that lasts longer than a few hours within a day. These appointments often become a two or more days appointment. iCal is capable of displaying these appointments in a week view by coloring all affected days - perfect.
But why o why is that different in month view? Only the starting day is marked - and that's it. Of course you can click it to see the details but when I am choosing month view I want to have an overview!
Can anyone help? Am i am missing something or is month view still underdeveloped? Where can I make a feature request? (Actually that is more like a bug!?)
Thanks for the help!

Try making the window a little bigger. I think it truncates time for space. I see time on mine.

Help: event times not printing in month view

... and yes, I have checked "show time in month view" in preferences, and the event times display on the screen. But on the monthly printout, the times do not appear, only ellipses where the time should be. There should be plenty of space for the information to print, there is white space both at the end of the event line and in the day box. But no times show up at all.
System data: Mac Mini, OS X 10.4.2, iCal 2.0.3 (1055), Brother MFC 7820N printer.
This is really awful... I just switched my wife over to the Mac Mini, and calendaring is a big part of what she needs. And she uses month views a lot. If I can't fix this, she'll probably throw the Mac Mini back in my face and I'll be sleeping on the couch. Yes, she cares that much about times printing in month views.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I don't know whether this a "solution" or a work-around, but I did find a way to resolve this problem. I recently started using iCal by transferring appointments from a BlackBerry using the BlackBerry PocketMac software. Although all of the appointment times appeared on the monthly calendar, most of the appointment times were replaced by ellipses when the monthly calendar was printed. It turns out that the times would print only after re-entering the appointment manually. This had to be done completely from scratch, i.e., not by editing the original appointment, or by cutting and pasting the appointment back into the calendar. This is a complete pain, but seems to work. I'd love to hear a better solution...

Errors when in Month view and how do I show (highlight) the day selected?

There are some annoying 'bugs' in my ical. When I are working in month view and I select a day in that month to copy or enter an item to there is no indication that ical has that day selected. When I paste some data to that day thinking I have it selected it, it may be in the correct day or in the previously selected day - surely this is an oversight on Apples part or am I missing something here?
Also sometimes after pasting data to the correct day iCal will 'update' and then send the data back to the day I copied it from!!
Any help appreciated.
MAC OS 10.9 on a Mac Mini.

Hi,
You don't need to convert to a string and back again to do that. Use TRUNC to get the right day, and date arithmetic to get the right time, like this:
UPDATE fc_gq_source_analysis
SET     effective_date = TRUNC (sample_date, 'MONTH')
                             + (sample_date - TRUNC (sample_date))
WHERE   sample_type = 'C'
TRUNC (sample_date, 'MONTH')        is midnight on the 1st of the month that you want.
sample_date - TRUNC (sample_date)   is the time that you want, expressed as a number of days (e.g., 9/24 of a day).

Why are times not displayed in Monthly view of iCalendar?

After the last update, the times for events in the monthly view in Calendar are no longer displayed? I have checked preferences and cannot find how to get this back. It did before and I used it for my office for appointments and I need the times displayed. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Try making the window a little bigger. I think it truncates time for space. I see time on mine.

How do I set calendar to always start in Month view?

My Ipod Touch calendar always seems to revert to Day view, even when I go into Month view and then turn it off. Next time I open it, it's back in Day view. I prefer to have it open in Month view, and I can't see any option or setting that would do that. It's regularly synced with Ical on my Macbook pro, which is in Month view.
Thanks,
Richard

that's odd, mine always returns to whichever view i left it on. a restore would probably fix it.

Ical to iweb: monthly view

I managed to embed my iCal into iWeb, but I can't seem to get rid of the mini months on the side or get it to publish in "month" view instead of "weekly" view. Any suggestions of how to correct this problem?
Thanks

You can't. There's no option on the published calendar to get rid of the mini months. You could use a Google calendar which doesn't have mini months like in this demo page: Google calendar.
There's also an application, Spanning Sync 3 that will sync iCal calendars with Google calendars. For other methods see:

Hi,
OMG! How bizzarre, another quirk of the "Region Fortmats" setting.
*Settings > General > International > Region Format*
If I set mine to U.K. (where I happen to live), Monday is apparently the first day of the week on the calendar and I have no 12/24 hour clock option.
If set to U.S., Sunday is the first day and the 12/24 hour clock option is available.
I guess changing the Region is your answer.
How odd! Not to say irritating.

IPhone calendar month view not the same as iCal

I have my iCal on my MacBook & iCloud set so that the start day of the week in Monday. This means that in the Month view Monday is the 1st column with the week-end, Sat & Sun columns on the right side of the screen. However, on my iPhone4 the 1st column is Sunday, follwed by Mon - Saturday.
Is there a way of changing th esettings on my iPhone so that the calendars look the same as on my Macbook (or iCloud)?

Hi Brian,
On iOS this is taken from the Regional Format option in Settings > General > International. Mine is set to United Kingdom and Calendar.app has the week start as Monday. There may be other results of changing this setting.
Best wishes
