Month View Bug in Desktop by Access

When I try browsing prior months in my palm desktop using month view, palm desktop crashes when I try to go back further than June, 2008; however, if I try to access periods prior to June using day or week view, I can view them without a problem. My Centro does not seem to be affected either, and I've run Pimlico software to try to identify any bugs, but I can't locate any. Since I don't use month view very often, I can't tell when this bug first emerged. I installed a backup Datebook file (that was a couple of days old), but that didn't fix the problem. Any advice would be much appreciated.

WinXP. Centro (verizon). USB synch.
Same problem Feb 08 crashes. Checked spanning midnight, long fields etc. Nothing helps.
Then, synch was hanging up in Calendar. Pushed cancel on Centro & HotSynch to no avail. Respectively, pulled out battery, used Win task manager.
To correct synch problem, overwrote Centro from desktop. After I did this, was curious, and tried to do the reverse. Got hung up again.
Then got free version of DbFixit. Told me I have a Datebook problem on 12/31/69 -- Centro calendar only goes back to 1/1/70! Care to explain?
DbFixit: "Calendar DB-PDat: Last blob not aligned with end of record. Rec=26. Date = 12/31/69"
Threw in towel & purchased the DbFixit version that self corrects. I'll let you know if it helps or not.
Regards
PS To Centro Marketing: Not being able to print out a monthly calendar is, for me and probably many others, a real negative.

Monthly view bug - creating event

I am able to create an event using the new quick event box at the top where you type in your meeting as regular text, however, double-clicking a day in Monthly view does not invoke a new event. Also, when I right-click on a day and select "New Event", nothing happens.

Adam,
Try refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To get to the Library folder use Finder>Go>Depress the "Option" Key and select LIbrary. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop. Then log out/in or restart.

700P - Installed Palm Desktop 6.2 and "Month View" on my desktop explodes and shuts down software???? How to fix????

I just installed the Palm Desktop 6.2. When working at my computer in the software, if I click on DAY, WEEK, or YEAR view it's fine. But if I click on MONTH it craps out and the software closes up. This is error detail:
AppName: palm.exe AppVer: 6.2.2.0 ModName: datebook.dll

Did you upgrade from a previous version of Palm desktop?
Do you have all your current data on the Treo?
If you have your data in Palm desktop and it is current, export the data for backup purposes, uninstall Palm desktop 6.2 and re-install 6.2.
Here are the export procedure instructions.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
What is the version of windows you are using?
XP or Vista?

Palm Desktop crashes when viewing one month in monthly view

Hi--this is a weird problem. Never seen it before.
--My Treo 680 (Win XP SP3), with Palm Desktop 6.2.2 seems to sync fine. I make changes in the Treo, it appears on the desktop.
--Also, I can view and edit the desktop in DAY view.
I normally default to monthly view though--and when I try to edit anything in a monthly view the Palm Desktop immediately crashes.This also seems to happen only with one month--July--where I recently added a lot of new appointments.
I ran the "check" tool for corrupted records, came up clean.
The data seems to be there and be safe and sync, but every time I try to access this one month from monthly view--it crashes.
Any advice, suggestions?
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

Your link generated an error message..but I did find a couple of relevant threads. Thanks..
--I have no appointments spanning midnight, so I presume that's not the problem
--I'm reluctant to downgrade versions. I use the same software on my Vista laptop as on my XP desktop and I'd like to confuse the issue or go through degrading both.
The dbfix program was more interesting. It found for Calendar: one appointment in several places that it said "blob goes beyond end of record."
I don't know what that means, but it was particularly odd as this particular appointment was repeated in multiple years as long ago as 1969, it said--which goes beyond the ability of the desktop software even to access; certainly I wasn't using a Palm in 1969, and obviously it didn't exist. So I deleted all of them but for that 1969 one since the desktop will only go back to Jan 1970.
After deleting what I could delete on the desktop, I sync'd.
Didn't help.
I ran the program again and the exact same older--presumbably fictitious-appointments from old years like 2007 were still coming up as checked errors. Hmmm. Apparently deleting them on the desktop helped not at all. So now I deleted one on the 680 as a test.
I sync'd. Immediately crashed the Palm, but when it came came back up. I doublechecekd--that 2007 record was now gone from everything, desktop and PDA. I syncd again,,,went through fine this time.
Ran dbfix again to check--just coming with that one 1969 inexplicable error. Ran Palm Desktop now. Ran the Options/Tools/Check record on the desktop (included utility) just to be sure--no errors.
The final test--running Palm Desktop back in monthly view. Immediately crashed again.
Shrug!
Now, I don't mind buying the dbfix program if that'll do it, but does this seem like something it needs to go through and might actually fix, as opposed to my manually deleting the things?

Palm Desktop crashes moving a recurring appointment in month view

In month view in Calendar, Desktop 6.2.2 crashes when attempting to move one ocurrence of a repeating appointment. Any fixes?
Post relates to: Centro (Unlocked GSM)

In Calendar - Edit Event - select a different date - OK and it crashes. Normally I would expect a prompt asking whether to apply the changes to Current/Future/All but it doesn't get that far. This appears only to apply to events that are part of a recurring series and only when in month view and selecting the event in the "Daily" sidebar. I will try not to do that in future!

Annoying listings in iCal month view

I have both my laptop and the desktop calendar preferences set to "show time in Month view." The desktop looks exactly like I want it:
10:00 am Division meeting
But recently the laptop calendar entries have started to look like this:
[Nov 20, 2008]10:00am
Division meeting
I don’t recall doing anything to make this happen and am tempted to blame MobileMe. Its very annoying because it takes up space to have the date printed out for every appointment when there is already a date in the calendar. Further, when I try to print a calendar page it only prints the date/time and not the name of the appointment. I’ve checked preferences, but can’t find where to change this. Its making me nuts.
So,in the month view I want to go from this:
[Nov 20, 2008]10:00am
Division meeting
Back to this:
10:00 am Division meeting
I'm sure there is something simple I've just overlooked, but I'd appreciate some help

In the month view, it's all down to the number of events you have on that day plus the size of the window/resolution of the screen.
If there's room, iCal will display all of an event's description, but if you shrink the window or add more events, the description will reduce in size- eventually into two columns - to give a chance of seeing all of them. Once there are more events than fit, you'll see an elipsis ( ... } at the top of the day. When this happens, you can only see ALL that day's events by going to week or day views.
You can potentially fit more in on the month view by turning-off the option to show the event time in month view in iCal Preferences.

I get a "Palm desktop by access application has stopped working" message when switching to the Month calendar view.

I have a Z22 and am running Access version 6.2.2 on a PC with Vista.
When I move from Day, Week or Year to Monthly view in the Calendar, I get the "Palm Desktop by Access Application has stopped working" (and then the Windows message saying they are checking for a solution, which they never seem to find).
Does any one know 1) how to fix this and 2) what is the cause ? Am I running old software which I need to update ?
Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Thank you, aeisha_anis for the steps to correct this problem. I verified that I must have corrupted calendar data as the PALM Desktop does come up and work when I follow your first 4 steps and remove the data from it. I can't, however, get through the importing step at the end of your instructions. I've tried a few times and am afraid I may have messed up the data file as it now is only showing a datebook. mdb and a datebook.bak file under the DateBook folder I copied to my desktop, but no datebook.dab folder as it was showing before and I never did find the datebook.dat file you mentioned. I still have all of my current calendar data on my Palm Centro but I can't get it to sync with the Palm Desktop without getting the "Palm Desktop by ACCESS Application has stopped working" message. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks much!

Month view off "Date" app on Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2

I have Windows XP (Home) with Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2.
I also have a Palm Z22 and a HP TouchPad.
My problem is with the Palm Desktop. In the "Date" application it will not display the Month view. There is no problem with the Day or Week view, but when I click on the Month view,
a screen pops up that says "Application has encountered a problem and needs to close".
It then says "Send report" or "Don't send".
After clicking on either of these, the Palm Desktop window closes.
I do not know where to retrieve the "Send Report" information if it has been sent.
Any help would be appreciated as the Month view is very helpful when planning future appointments or activities.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH....

Palm desktop calendar - in month view, event times are in wrong order!

I use Palm Desktop 4.1.4 on my Windows XP machine (I don't own a PDA). I enter my appointments in Week view and they look fine, but when I go to Month view (I want to print this view), the events for a given day show up in the wrong order!
For example, on one day I see:
9a Event
10:30a Event
2p Event
12p Event
and on the next day I see:
9a Event
2p Event
10a Event
I tried changing things in Options and Preferences - no luck. I have messed around with it and can't figure out any weird pattern it might be sorting by (I've tried re-entering appointments to see whether it sorts by the last time they were entered/edited, and looked into whether it was sorting by category, length of event name, first digit of the time, length of time, alphabetically by event name, by whether it repeats/has a location/has a note/has an alarm/was entered by clicking once and typing or by right-clicking). It just seems baffling, and it definitely seems like a bug, since of course you'd want your events sorted by time.
Does anyone know what's going on or have this problem?
Thanks!
Post relates to: None

I had looked at this in response to another post, and didn't notice the same problem. But then I went back further and noticed it sure enough...it's only occasional.
I haven't done any kind of analysis as you have apparently done, mostly because I don't really use the desktop application except occasionally.
Thought maybe it sorts repeating events differently than single events, but I've seen it both ways, so that doesn't seem to be it.
It doesn't bother me enough, but it certainly seems like it would warrant an email support request to Palm, to see if they have an answer.

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.

ICal bug with month view

I primarily use week view on iCal, but sometimes i switch to month view for a larger perspective. Often, i use month view to check for any leftover events from the previous month in case i forgot to delete one or two.
I just found a bug concerning this. If i click on "month" today, it'll take me to the month view for june 2011, and from there i can navigate forwards or backwards. However, may 2011 seems to have a bug. If i click on < from june, it does nothing; if i click again, it takes me to april 2011. Similarly, if i click on > from april it does nothing and if i click again it takes me to june.
It doesn't end there. The june/may thing happens only when the selected day (the one shaded light grey on the month and week views and bright blue on the little month tab on the left) is after 04 june. If a day from the first week of june (i have my weeks start on sunday) is selected, the < button does take me to may, but several events which i deleted a long time ago are showing up.
Now, i have an event set for today (04 june). Since the first four days of june are in the same week as the last three of may, the month view for may shows these four days, as any normal calendar app would.
If i use the month tab to the left to navigate, i can access may 2011 by selecting any day on that month. However, iCal's behaviour depends on which day was selected previously. If the previous day was in april 2011 or earlier, iCal will show the month of may completely empty, which is great because i have no leftover appointments from may; however, the box for 04 june is also empty, which it shouldn't be. If the previous day was in june 2011, it'll show may with a repeating event on every sunday except the first, which is completely absurd, since i have deleted this event (and why isn't it showing on the first sunday in may?); the box for 04 june, however, will correctly show the event i have set for this day. If the previous day was in july 2011 or later, it'll show may with the repeating event on all sundays (including the first one) and it won't show anything on the box for 04 june.
Obviously, there is a bug with may 2011.
In case it helps, i do have a repeating event set to all sundays until the end of existence, but i have deleted all the entries from may and previously, since they have obviously already happened. Also, i had many other repeating events set to happen on different weekdays; these are to repeat themselves weekly until about halfway through june, and they started on april or may (can't remember right now). Like the sunday one, i have deleted all the entries from may because they have already taken place. Strangely (and thankfully), none of these appear when i visit may from june or later, as does the sunday event.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or am i forever stuck with week view, which has so far proven to be bug-free?
(I did a search on Google and another on the Apple forums for this issue but could find nothing, so i decided to ask the question myself. I apologise if somebody has already asked this question and i just couldn't find it.)

Greetings,
I have a vague recollection of someone else with this issue but haven't experienced it myself nor encountered it recently.
Troubleshooting:
1.) First make an iCal backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966.
2.) Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical and / or "ical"
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

Palm Desktop crashes on calendar 'month' view

I am running Desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2 on WinXP with AT&T Centro. There are random months in my desktop calendar that cause the desktop to crash when I select the 'Month' view (June '08, April '07, Nov '08). I can't find any common trend unique to these months, the 'day' and 'week' views work fine for these months. I have searched this forum and found a couple similar symptoms but no real solutions. I have uninstalled/re-installed Desktop, but no change. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Paul.

I've been having the same problem with Palm Desktop 6.2.2 on XP with my Centro. So I split up all the events that spanned midnight, as HardBeatZ suggested, and if fixed three of the six months that crashed. I've also run dbfixit, as he suggested in another thread, which found no corrupted records. Any other suggestions? I saw in that other thread (http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&message.id=27310&query.id=29789) the idea of trashing the months and re-entering events, but that seemed to be a different problem with Vista.
I see the suggestion here by patkosanke to revert to 4.1.4, which is what I previously had for my Tungsten E. What about all the warnings with my Centro that I had to install the included 6.2.2? Are those warnings not true for XP? And what about the change from dat to mdb files, if I were to revert? Reverting seems to postpone the inevitable transition to Vista, though.
Also, it seemed to me that 6.2.2 had more fields for phone numbers, for which I reformatted bunches of my contacts -- previously I had doubled up on some, but that doesn't allow them to be dialed. Is that a change from 4.1, in which case reverting might kill those fields, or is that possibly a change from my even earlier IIIx?
Thanks,
John S.

Ok if you remove your data from palm desktop does it still crash in the month view, also what months are crashing, I could possibly do a little research and tell you what days are causing the problem.

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

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.

Equipment mailbox not showing partial days on calendar for certain user (in month view).

We have one user that is having a problem with viewing Equipment Mailboxes.
We are running Exchange 2010 version 14.02.0328.009. Client machine is running Outlook 2010 x86.
The mailbox is a check-out vehicle that he and one other person manage. When someone sends a request to the van, it books it for that time, then doesn't allow others to book it for that same time as expected. However, some users don't like to do their own
booking so they have him do it for them. Several times now he has went out on the calendar (actually 3 different vans, all respond the same way) and booked a van on a day that looked available to him, only to find out on that day that two different people
show up expecting that same van. One person booked it on their own, and he booked it again. It never gave a prompt to disallow him or tell him it was taken from the attendant. However, for the other guy that manages the mailboxes it looks just fine, for me,
for many other users I've compared with, it looks and responds as it should.
I have checked the settings on the equipment mailboxes as well as compared his Exchange account with the other person who is working as expected, they are identical. The thing that I've found is that if someone books a van for an 'all day' event, he sees
it just fine. If they set it up for a partial day, it never shows to him in month view.
Looking at the calendar permissions for the mailbox both of the people have equal rights. I tried setting this person to owner to see if it helped, to no avail. I also tried setting the "Show As:" to free, busy, tentative, out of office, all respond
the same way.
It seems to show up when he does a schedule view, but from a month view, nothing shows and it allows him to book the van. For everyone else that I've tested, it responds as expected.
I have deleted and recreated his profile on his local machine, and he even recently got a whole new desktop so it shouldn't be anything local (has been going on for many weeks), but I honestly have no idea why it's doing it. Any suggestions from the gurus
on here would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
Since the issue only happens when this specific user view the equipment mailbox's calendar in Outlook monthly view, please access this user's mailbox in OWA and view the equipment maibox's calendar and send test meeting requests to have a try.
If the issue also happens in OWA, please run the following cmdlet to check the equipment mailbox calendar configuration:
