Month View Blank

iCal version 2.0.5
With my recent update of Microsoft Office to 2008 iCal stopped working properly. When I open iCal the Month view is the default view but it appears blank. No events or even the names of calendars are appearing. If I change to Week view I can see all the events, but still no calendar names. I'm guessing this is either a cache or preferences issue. Any ideas?

I too have been experiencing this. Something is wrong with the latest OS update. This has been going on for about a month.

ICal not displaying all events in Month view, leaving unused blank space

I think this is a bug or bad programming of iCal:
In the month view, I have for example a day with 5 or 6 events. When I change the size of the global iCal window, the size of each day is of course changing, displaying more or less of the events on that day; and displaying "..." when additional events exist but can not be shown. This is all fine... and normal...
However, I noticed that iCal is simply not making use of the whole space: when my day is bog enough to display all events, iCal is still only displaying half of them, and the "...".
This is really a pity as the white space is there.
Anybody observed the same behavior?

Hey, thank you.
But how do I change the font and its size?
I tried....
Thanks,
Janos

ICal (Lion) before synching, when creating a NE in Month view, edits don't save or if they do I also get a ghost NE that I cannot delete

When I am in Month view and double click to create a new event, then edit the name and duration of such and click done, most times it does not save it or it appears to save it, the name changes but when i click away, it reverts to a blank New Event. Sometimes it will save the event as edited but then it will also create a blank New Event on that same day that I then cannot delete.
I do synch with my iPad through iTunes BUT I have not synched for over a month now and this is happening with new events I am creating since the last synch.
Any suggestions most appreciated.

Hello Mujno,
To fix this issue, you need to determine how you are navigating between pages. Are you navigating between multiple pages within a page (like html iframe) or navigating from one page window to another. The Frame control helps keep track of
the page navigations.
Here's what you can try per scenario:
1) Navigating between pages within a page
- You would have to include a frame control on all pages that use your reusable class. The frame control would be a container for any page that you want to navigate and display the content. I doubt this is what you are doing but figured it's worth mentioning.
- You can use the "this.Frame.Navigate(.....)" after including the frame control on the page. Note that "Frame" is the name of the frame object.
2) Navigating from one page window to another
- You can navigate to another page from your reusable class by instantiating a new frame from the current window.
Frame rootFrame = Window.Current.Content as Frame;
rootFrame.Navigate(typeof(Object), Object);
Let me know if this helps.

When first launching Calendar in Month view, events are missing

On my iPad 1 running iOS 5.0.1, when I launch Calendar in Month view, the entire calendar is blank (no events). I have to either select a different view or create a new event in order for events to show up. This has been the case since upgrading to iOS 5 and also happens on my wife's iPad 2. I have restored both devices multiple times for other issues and the condition remains.

Figured it out - the event has to be marked as full day event in order to be shown in monthly calendar. Disregard my question.

Calendar Month view not working following OS 2.1.0.1032 update

Is anyone experiencing problems with accessing the Month View on their Calendar following updating to OS 2.1.0.1032?
For me it appears to have stopped working and I now get a blank screen.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had the same problem and what I did is: go into the calendar settings and make the default view - month and I picked agenda settings. go back and close the calendar and re-open it and it opened in month view. I can select week or day view from there if I want. Hope it works for you.
Smile, it makes people wonder what you are up to.

Can I change the way iCal displays events in Month view?

I don't like the way iCal in the new OS displays events in Month view. It's counter intuitive to have the time of the event be at the far right and grayed out. I find myself staring and slowly scanning down the display just to find out when I have to be at an appointment. I wish they had stayed with the other display, not only was it much clearer, it also word wrapped so you could see the entire description. I have blank space at the bottom of the day, and at the same time missing information because of the lack of wrapped text.

Hi Daniel,
The option you have there is to change the calendar of the event (currently the "University" calendar in your screen shot) not the colour. It is the calendars that have colours in iCal not the events.
To change the calendar colour in OSX 10.7:
Click Calendars (in the top-left corner of the iCal window), and select the calendar by clicking its name in the Calendars pop-up list.
Choose Edit > Get Info.
Choose a new colour from the pop-up menu in the top-right corner of the Info window.
To customize the colour, choose Other, and then make your colour selections in the Colours window.
I hope that helps.
Best wishes

"Month View" Disappears

I've seen some posts on this before... anyone have any thoughts?
iCal works fine under the "Day" and "Week" views, but when I hit "Month View" it disappears from the screen. The program is still open, it just doesn't show anything. I have to switch the view back to Day or Week in order to see anything in iCal after that. My version is 2.0.5 (1069)
Thanks.

I also have a similar issue. I can view the previous month's month view and the next month's month view but this month shows month view as blank. If I then select week view, I get all my calendars. If I then click back on month view, iCal appears to freeze with a blank screen. However, just clicking on week view recovers and I can see my calendars again! Any ideas what's happened to iCal?
I've got iCal v3.0.4 (1263).
I'm also using M$ Office 2008 but I do not use Entourage and have never even started it up. I've seen some suggestions that Office 2008 has some impact.

ICal month view won't show some of my appointments.

Hello guys!
I've updated do Lion and bought an iPod touch 4g.
Everything is working fine, except for the month view on my Mac Book Pro, some of my appointments won't show up for me. The appear on Day view and Week view.
Any ideas?

Yes! I created a project from a trailer. I finalized then went and changed some things. After finalizing again the small preview shows the full trailer but the preview and all exported movies are blank for the first 10 seconds or so. Frustrating!

Can't see month view iCal 2.0

I can see day view, I can see week view. When I switch to month view there is nothing there. If I minimumize the window it shows up as a blank space in the dock. ?

I am having the same problem. It started when the month view was not available. It took me a long time to figure out that when I minimize the month view, it shows up on the dock as a teeny tiny icon. When I click it, nothing happens. When I go to Week View then my calendar shows up. NOW though, my week view has disappeared and now I'm only left with DAY view. The same exact thing happens in Week view. I have no window, nothing to "grab" that I can possibly see to get it back on my screen. BUT it will be a teeny tiny icon when it's minimized.
The only thing I can think of is that I'm a tech teacher using a projector and my laptop changes resolutions with different software programs. I have had iCal open when the resolution has had to change. The only thing I can think of is that somehow that did something to the window and I can't get it back.

Calendar month view has wasted space between months, can I remove? iOS 7 iPhone

The calendar month view (both iPad and iPhone) has a gap between months eg: Jan 31 has two spaces & almost a whole line blank before Feb 1. I want the months to run sequential with no gaps. Any way of doing this?

Use a different app.
Unfortunately, there is no way to change the formatting of the built in app. Your only option is to look for a different calendar app and see if it meets your needs

IOS 7 iCal create event month view

I updated my iPad mini and iPhone 4S to iOS 7. I love iCal, but can't figure out how to create a new event in month view. I try double tapping on the date as I did previously but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried tapping and holding on any date? I get a small blue bar with the words "New Event" in it; I can drag the event to any visible date if I pressed the wrong one, and when I remove my finger I get a blank new event on that date. It starts as an all-day event, but you can easily change that.

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!

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.

How to print monthly view in ical

I have the most current version of ical. It wont let us print a monthly view. It only lets us select fro day or list. I am sure i am doing someething wrong, but I dont know what. Running MAC OS X 10.5.8.
Ical version 3.0.8.

earlnkids,
The text size selection should be available in the first page of the iCal print options:

Is there a way to get iCal to put the time of each event on Monthly view without going in and editing each event?

When I enter a new event on iCal with the time, it leaves the time off of the Monthly view and in order for me to glance at the times of the day's events I have to click on each event or go into the event and edit it again putting the time on, for it to show. Is there a way to get it to show without doing this?

Sorry. Only after posting did I see that this question has been asked already and the answer given. Please ignore this post.
