"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.

Month View Disappearing Act

Just recently, when I select month view in the Tiger iCal, the window disappears. I can add new events, but cannot see them unless I'm within the day or week view. Also, when I immediately click day or week, it doesn't fit the frame properly. Does anyone know why this glitch is happening?

exactly the same thing has just happened to me! Can anyone help? thanks

ICal disappears in month view

Just recently, when I select month view in the Tiger iCal, the window disappears. I can add new events, but cannot see them unless I'm within the day or week view. Also, when I immediately click day or week, it doesn't fit the frame properly. Does anyone know why this glitch is happening?

I found this advice from a standford prof.... and it worked for me...
"I just deleted the com.apple.ical.plist file from
user/library/preferences and reset everything back to defaults and it works
fine now."
I deleted all the iCal plists and it kept my data, but reset iCal and I can now see in month view.

Month View makes window disappear

HI I am wondering about this - I was using iCal and it was working fine, then I cam back to the computer later, and the calendar had disappeared. I quit restarted, repaired permissions, all to no avail.
What I am finding is that I can see my calendars in Day and Week view, but if I change to month view the window disappears. It also does thew same if I press cmd+3.
I only use it on one computer, am not syncing to anything. The only that may have been strange was that I was connected to an LC Projector when i was using it, then I disconnected while it was still open. Afterward it doesn't seem to work. But I have also reset the displays to detect that there is not a second monitor, etc.
I am using a Powerbook G4 17", 1.67GHz, running 10.4.8, and iCal 2.0.4
I also can't seem to find an updater.
And just to try - how does one reset iCal to begin with, and not lose all calendars - I've been using it for about 3.5 years (and have the next 8 months scheduled out on it) and haven't had trouble until now, and don't want to lose everything.

Hi,
The window positions are kept in your preferences.
Quit iCal and try moving the com.apple.iCal.plist file in User>Library>Preferences to your Desktop, then re-start iCal. The preference file will be re-created with the default settings, this will not affect the contents of your calendars.

Why in my Ipad2 calendar does March disappear each time I try to enter he 'month' view?

Whenever I open Calendar and click on the month view for March 2013 Calendar disappears.

I have had a similar problem.
It only seemed to start when I entered an all day event on 31st March.
I tried removing the all day event, and all the events on 1st April, but none of these worked.
In the end, the only thing that worked was turning off the UK holiday URL calender.

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.

Scroll is broken on month view in Calendar

i can no longer scroll to next or previous month with trackpad in Calendar's month view. when i swipe two fingers up or down (or left/right) just nothing happens. is it intentional stupidity to force me to click left/right arrow buttons on top-right?

Hello there, konkere.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great recommendations for issues with erratic behavior with the Trackpad on our MacBook Pro:
Trackpad or Magic Trackpad is jumpy or erratic
Follow these steps and recommendations to resolve the issue.
Be sure only one part of your finger is touching the trackpad and that you are not resting your wrist on or very close to the pad. The trackpad may interpret this as your finger touching it and make the cursor move in that direction.
If you're using the Magic Trackpad, be sure the batteries are fully charged.
Moisture collecting on the trackpad can also cause this issue. Wiping off the trackpad with a cloth or tissue usually fixes this. If the issue goes away when a piece of paper is put between the finger and trackpad you may want to consider purchasing a Teflon applique to fit over the pad to prevent the moisture from having direct contact with the trackpad. Before installing the Teflon applique, confirm the trackpad is clean and dry. You can use a mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth (not onto the trackpad itself) to clean the trackpad. Note that oil or lotion can also cause the same issue.
Jewelry may also cause interference. Try removing rings or bracelets and see whether the jumpy or erratic behavior disappears.
Apple has had some reports of this behavior on Mac notebooks being used with power supplies made by a third-party company. If you are using one of these power adapters, unplug it and try running from the Apple battery to see how the trackpad behaves correctly. Also, try using the Apple AC adapter instead of the third-party AC adapter. If the trackpad behaves normally while running from the battery, there is most likely an issue with your adapter or outlet.
If none of the above resolve the issue, try to rule-out software not created by Apple as a cause. To do so, start in Safe Mode.
Magic Trackpad can act erratically when there is interference. See Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference for more information.

Can't see month view in iCloud calendar

When I click on the month view tab at the bottom of the iCloud calendar screen, nothing happens. For that matter, clicking on the day tab doesn't do anything either.
As another annoyance, in the week view I see the weeks events that were brought in from my Mac, but going to the next week shows no events. HELP!

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.

Ical Month View doesn't work

Okay, this just started happening to me randomly about 2 weeks after I got my macbook. Ical can no longer be viewed in month view. Furthermore, in either week view or day view, the page on the right that lets you set specific date/time as well as priority, alarms and notes and such, no long exists either. iCal starts, however nothing shows up as it starts in month view. When I click view>week view, that shows up fine (but still without the editor pane as I described above), but as soon as I click on month view, everything disappears. Please Advise

Hi,
This is a problem with your iCal's preferences.
The easiest way to deal with it is to close iCal, go to your users Library > Preferences, find the file 'com.apple.iCal.plist' and delete it. When you re-open iCal the window positions will revert to deafult. Open iCal's preference window and make sure all your settings are how you want aftter this.

Does calendar month view show times

I'm sure I'm not going crazy but I could have sworn that, until late last night, my iPad 2's calendar when in month view showed event times. Similar to what you see when you check the "show times in month view" box when in iCal. I am pretty sure that that function was on my iPad 2 prior to my downloading iTunes 10.3.1 beta because I keep my iPad near the kitchen phone so that we can 'check the calendar.' Now it is not there. The folks at MME support didn't have an iPad to check and they suggested that I go to a local Apple store and see if the ones in the store had this function. I did and they did not.
I spoke with a genius at the Apple Store and he couldn't verify whether that was ever a function of iOS on the iPad. I did tell him that my iPad had been having some strange things happen on the display when I activated the calendar on the iPad. Events would appear, disappear, then reappear sort of in an wave. I am not sure as to the timing of this as to whether it was pre iTunes 10.3.1 beta or after I installed it.
HELP! Was I just seeing things? Or was it there and now gone?

Thanks for the wild and crazy ideas.
I did remove any events that span midnight and it did not help.
I looked at the DbFixit program. Since it corrects problems in the Palm and not in Palm Desktop I believe it is not relevant. The reason I belive the palm device is not involved is because of the following test:
I removed all previous Palm Desktop versions
I removed all registery entries for both Palm, PalmOne, and the USB (as specified by a chat session with Palm)
I removed all data directories including \Program Files\PalmOne, \Program Files\Palm, and \Palm
I removed all instances of data in the Documents directory
I did a cold boot of the computer
then...
I did a fresh install of Palm Desktop
I typed in a year's worth of data
I did not sync or otherwise connect a palm to the system
I selected month view
The system crashed!
I believe this takes the Palm device completely out of the loop. This problem occurs when typing data in Palm Desktop from the keyboard.
I appreciate any ideas, and will follow up on them.
Thanks again
Jack Cornelius
Since no Palm was involved, the corruption must have occured in the Palm Desktop program itself.

All-Day Events & Month View

When I'm creating a new All-Day Event, it immediately disappears if I'm in month view, but shows up in week or day view. This has never ever happened before... If it helps, I'm noticing that it's happening in events that I'm scheduling in April...
WHY?
Help me fix it, it's necessary for work!
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
So far as I know, an allday event only ever shows a single line of text regardless of view.
Consequently, how much you can see is governed by the width of the day (or days) in that view.

Can't display month view

Every time I try to display month view on my calendar ical just disappears, it can't do it for some reason. It can display week or day views just not month. Does anyone know what might be going on?

Hi Dereck,
Try deleting iCal's preference file.
See this link for how to do this:

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.

Multiple probs -- can't view To Dos, Month view crashes

Using lateest v of iCal 2. Sev'l problems: If I try to open the To Dos frame, the frame space opens but just shows the right-hand side of the weekly calendar. If i try to view Month View, the entire calendar window goes glitchy with horizontal lines and the program gets glitchier still. It still works -- ccan still move among different view -- but each time there's more screen noise, on the iCal window only, and some of the buttons along window bottom disappear. I recently reloaded iCal, and have sevearl times quit, deleted all 4 ical-related prefs from my user/library/preferences folder, and logged out and back in.
any ideas or suggestions? Much obliged for any help.

Hi David,
With iCal closed, go to your user's Library>Application Support>iCal>Sources. In here are several folders with long names which each contain corestorage.ics, Info.plist and possibly some other files.
Open Info.plist in each of these folders (if you have Developer Tools installed it will open with the Property List Editor otherwise any text editor will do.) until you fiind the one whose title key is the name of the corrupted calendar. (These files are XML files if this means anything to you.) With a normal text editor you will be looking for something like this:
<key>Title</key>
<string>Your Calendar Name</string>
When you have found the correct folder, copy it's corestorage.ics file to the desktop - you'll need this to restore your data. After this delete the calendar's folder.
If you now open iCal the calendar that was corrupted will have gone from the calendar list. Drag the corestorage.ics file to below the last item on the calendar list. A dialog should open asking for a destination calendar. Choose New Calendar and click OK and then rename the calendar to what you like.
I hope this helps.

Month view doesn't show

day and week view are fine, selecting month view and the window disappears. Has been working fine - though I did run system optimise recently...

This is the same problem I have with my iCal. I open iCal and the week and day views come up fine, but as soon as I click on the month view tab, iCal closes the viewer. It doesn't crash the entire program, but the month display does not show up and I love having this option. I have spent some time reading through previous threads, but they do not appear to apply to my situation, unless I am missing something.
Can someone please suggest anything that would help?
Are there conflicting version of iCal after an upgrade?
Where do I look for this on my Mac OS X 10.3.9?
