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.
best wishes

  • 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.

  • Can you get month view on iphone with OS7?

    Can you get a month view with ical on iphone with IOS7? I can on my iPad still. I need to be able to look at several calendars on one screen and see where a free slot is in a month and I can't see anyway of doing this now as the month view just shows a date and then you have to go in to it. Thanks.

    Hi. Thanks. I've tried that but it's not solving my problem! I want to quickly check 3 or 4 days in a month and see if I availability at different times. The month view makes this easy but I can't see a away of doing it without checking a day at a time and hoping I can remember when I was free on the previous day I checked!! Eg. Someone gives me 3 days to choose from for a meeting. Month view enables me to see all the dates immediately.

  • 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.

  • ICal week view window is gone. When selected the window disappears.

    Whenever I click on view->week view (or just the "week" button on the bottom row) my ical window disappears. No idea where it is going. If I click on view->day/month the window comes back. However, after it comes back in day or month view, the info sidebar (and button at the bottom to control it, along with the todo and results list buttons beside it) now isn't there.
    Any ideas how to fix this? I think it happened when I plugged my laptop into a 1024x768 projector and then changed my mind quickly and unplugged it, but it has been like this for a couple of weeks now through several reboots etc.
    This is a macbook pro running tiger.
    Thanks,

  • How to make published calendar show month view by default?

    I have a published calendar that I put into an iframe on a website. Unfortunately, it comes up in week view by default. I know that if you click on month view, it gives you a new URL that you could copy and use, but that URL is specific to a month and so when we get to April, for instance, the default calendar view would be month, but would still display March's calendar. Is there something else I can put in the URL to make the default view to the actual, current month?

  • Apple Calendar Options: Make only major tasks appear in month view?

    I'm a big fan of the Apple Calendar App, but there's one thing I've been wondering about. I like to schedule my days down to the minute to maximize my efficiency, but I don't want all the details of my daily routine crowding up my month-view calender, which I tend to reserve for major events (exams, events, etc.).
    Is there a way to make it so that only events or tasks flagged as important are displayed in the month/week views even though I have a lot of routine stuff outlined in daily mode? If there isn't, it'd be great it Apple would consider implementing this as an option. I love iCal and don't want to have to juggle multiple calendar apps, but unless I can do what I've described above I'm afraid I might have to.

    Is there a way to make it so that only events or tasks flagged as important are displayed in the month/week views
    Unfortunately, no. There are many 3rd party cal apps available in the App store - possibly one or more can do this.
    If there isn't, it'd be great it Apple would consider implementing this as an option.

  • "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.

  • 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.

  • Make multiday event span multidays in Month view

    Hi all,
    New Macbook user here, trying to organise iCal.
    If I have an event, starting on Friday, going on Saturday and and finishing Sunday, is it not possible to get this to show in the month view?
    I know it shows up in the weekly view, but it would be more helpful for me to have it up show up like this so I can get an overview of the month's forthcoming events.
    Or if it, are there any mods/addons etc that can enable this?
    thanks!
    MR G

    MR G,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    My iCal shows the multi-day event in the month view.
    Have you checked the "all-day" selection in the info window?

    Hi Ernestprinter,
    Check if you have multiple Java versions installed on your computer.
    Try clean boot http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Also i would suggest uninstall security software and install it back.
    Currently you may use F9 key to restore Menu bar.

    Go to System Preferences - Accessibility - Voiceover - turn off Voiceover. The shortcut is command-F5, so possibly you pressed that accidentally.

  • IPhoto Viewer window disappeared

    My album viewer window disappeared. I have only a single photo showing and when I double click on it, I can bring up the thumbnails, and can edit the photo that shows, but no longer am able to organize many photos at one time. In fact re-organizing is impossible. The disappearance occurred when I double clicked to edit a photo. I don’t know what I did, but I don’t like the results.
    I tried re-installing from the iLife disk. Nothing changed.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • On my iPad 3, how do I make calendar items lasting more than one day appear as such on the monthly view of my calendar? Right now only the first day of the item appears.

    On iPad 3, all of my calendar items lasting more than one day do not appear correctly when looking at the monthly view of the calendar; only the first day of the appointment appears. For example, if I am taking a vacation for 4 days, only the first day of the vacation is marked on the calendar, instead of being listed on all 4 days. When I look at the weekly view, however, it is correct and is listed on all 4 days. The problem here of course is that at a glance, there is no way to look at my monthly schedule. On my iPhone, everything is correct, regardless of month or week view, so clearly this is an iPad problem I guess? Please advise on how this can be corrected. Thank you!

    Unfortunately you can't do what you want. Many people have complained to Apple about this. I suggest you provide Apple feedback directly at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html. They will not provide a direct response but hopefully if enough people provide feedback Apple will fix this.
