Multi-month view and birthday alarm

Hi Everyone,
I'm really itching to start using the open iCalendar standard. I keep checking out iCal from time to time and I'm getting more and more tempted. But without multi-month and year view, any calendar is quit useless for my needs. My present calendar app lets me set ANY date range to display and print. This allows an overview over an entire project. I find it difficult to understand how Apple created iChat with such a fundamental omission in the first place and still has not fixed it after such a long time.
Its also a nuisance that iCal for some inexplicable reason does not allow an alarm to be set for birthdays. How can this be? Is this not one of the key reasons for using a calendar?
Can anyone tell me how I can get Apple's sympathetic ears?

Hi leofredo,
I had the same problem few days ago (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1196594#1196594) and a good solution was given by John. Here's the link: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1031926&start=10
Read till the end and I hope it will be as usefull as it was for me.

Multi-month, year, and date-range views

My apologies for wasting everyone's time if I've missed something really obvious here, but am I correct in concluding that there is no way to generate anything beyond a static one-month view in iCal? No multi-month view? No year view? No "view date range"? At this stage of the game, how is it possible that something so elemental could be omitted from this program?
At this point I'm reduced to exporting each month to a pdf file and then arranging them as tiles on the screen. But there has to be a better way.
Short of a new version from Apple, are there any plug-ins that would do this? Does anyone have any other work-arounds? Thanks in advance.

A quick search of the forums shows that this is a HIGHLY sought after feature (including by me). We all need to use the feed back link (below) to let Apple know this. In my experience with the tech support folks, they seem to have NO idea about what these forums say. In the past I have actually had them log in to these forums and search the issue I was calling them about and they have been blown away when they see the hundreds / thousands of posts with the very same thing they're discussing with me. So, as the wise man says .. "you don't ask, you don't get!" Use the form and let them know...

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.

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).

ICal misbehaving with iPhone, month view, and events missing

iCal is giving me problems.
April will not display at all in month view, and 1 week's worth of events are completely missing, no matter which view I am in.
My iPhone has all of my events and is up-to-date, but even though I've synced it several times, it doesn't work. I've deleted the com.apple.iCal.plist file as well as the cache, with no luck.
I'm in Leopard 10.5.8, using iCal 3.0.8
Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Can I publish the calendar between two macs that are on a LAN?
Publishing requires a .Mac account, or WebDAV-enabled server as I mentioned in my previous post.
To simply share a calendar from on computer to another you can use iCals export and import features.
Just export a calendar from one computer and import it on the other. It's as easy as sharing a file.

Month view and detail view show different times

I'm importing this calendar:
http://www.mychurchevents.com/calendar/ical/2330512/public.ics?tz=z88
Here is my problem:
The meeting shows in Month view as 10AM, but the details show 9AM. 9AM is the correct time. It's only a problem during Daylight Savings Time. I've switched every Time Zone Control I can find with no change, and I don't want to have to change each event.
This calendar imports perfectly on any iOS device. This is only an issue in the Calendar app on OS X Mavericks.
Feel free to import the calendar and work on it.
Thanks!

Robert,
I imported the calendar, and duplicated your observation, until I edited "to:" to display a 1 hour event. I also used my time zone.
My Screen Shot displays a one hour event which displays the correct start time as follows:

Color Text in Monthly View, and event time

Before Mavericks, I preferred events text in Calendars monthly view to match the calendar's color. Now only a dot before item is not as disticntive. Is there a way to have event text match the dot's color?
Also, I miss the ability to show event's time in monthly view.
Bill

I had the same questions as Bill3; and am still searching for a third-party replacement (thank you Apple for all of the "upgrades" to packaged apps!).
Now we've left the whole skeuomorphic trend, only to hamper usability? #1- Function; #1.2- Form (it should be close, but still secondary).
An option to put the timestamp to the left of the appoointment? More than just a tiny colored dot? Shading for the duration of an appointment (especially if "Busy" is selected)? Month heading centered, or even left-justified; instead of right-justified?
I work 12-hr shifts, so tend to live in Month View vs Week or Day--just so pumped about degradation of usability. As annoying as the leather/paper look was, at least it was usable (and with a few tweaks, gone!).
Sorry. Just sad to see changes made for the sake of change, rather than improvement.

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.

In Month View, showing start and stop times for appointments

Hi, I want to show both the start and stop times for all appointments in my iCal Month view and have not been able to figure out how to do that. Any suggestions? - Dave

I would also like to know how to do this if possible. I want to print month-view schedules with start and end times for events. Thought I'd bump this up to see if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks & Regards dhampall

Hi dhampall_79,
Ok, you could open the project you shared, and open RudiGrobler.Controls/Calendar/Themes/Generic.xaml file, and then you could find below part of code:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:Calendar}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:Calendar}">
<Border Background="#E3EFFF"
BorderBrush="#6593CF"
BorderThickness="2,2,2,2">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="50" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="38" />
<RowDefinition Height="22" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Margin="5,0,0,0">
<Button Content="Previous" Height="25" Command="{x:Static local:Calendar.PreviousDay}" Background="{x:Null}" BorderBrush="{x:Null}">
</Button>
<Button Content="Next" Height="25" Command="{x:Static local:Calendar.NextDay}" Background="{x:Null}" BorderBrush="{x:Null}">
</Button>
</StackPanel>
<Border BorderBrush="#6593CF" BorderThickness="0,0,1,1" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" />
<local:CalendarDayHeader Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" x:Name="PART_DayHeader"/>
<ScrollViewer Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" x:Name="PART_ScrollViewer">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="50" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<local:CalendarLedger Grid.Column="0" x:Name="PART_Ledger"/>
<local:CalendarDay Grid.Column="1" x:Name="PART_Day" />
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Above code is the appearance of the View, you could create your own view and replace
<local:CalendarLedger Grid.Column="0" x:Name="PART_Ledger"/>
<local:CalendarDay Grid.Column="1" x:Name="PART_Day" />
You could change above two lines to your control, and then you could get what you want.

ICal's month view events are spilling out and overlapping making unreadable

iCal's month view events are spilling out of their day boxes and overlapping the events below them making it impossible to look at the month view and discern one's schedule.
What's really odd is it only seems really a problem with the current month. January 2009.
What can I do to remedy this situation?

Okay, I figured out a simple remedy that was probably always intended by Apple. I had been pasting long text paragraphs from emails into the 'Subject' Header. When I paste the long paragraph of information in the "NOTES" area at the bottom of the dialogue box and just put a brief subject line in the header area this fixes the problem.
This might seem like common sense, but Palm Desktop did not require this. I figured this out by trying Entourage. Entourage synching with the iPhone however works through iCal and deleted all my color coded Calendars that I had not backed up. In Palm Desktop I had 15 categories each with a color code.
Now, when I put an address into the "Location" window why can't I tap that on the iPhone Calendar and have the GPS/Googlemap display this location on a map?

How much will Apple charge me for selling magazine for Free in Multi-issue viewer?

Hi Guys, especially to the two Bobs,
I would like to know, here's the situation:
Let's say I have a Multi-issue Viewer, and I sell magazine issue for free, How much does Apple gonna charge me?
Please help and share your advice.
Thank you.

To conclude:
Apple's financial aspects are based on two parts:
1. A yearly payment, NOT for "development" (that's also free) but for access to their store(s). Everyone can register as a developer, download most tools for free, and develop until they drop. But putting stuff up on the store, requires that $99 fee per year. Note: the publisher (responsible for the content) is the one who legally needs to set up an account and pay this fee.
2. A 30% margin on anything you sell and handle through the Apple store directly or through an in-app purchase, even if it's not physically distributed by Apple. A "free" app or download is still considered a "purchase" but 30% of nothing is still nothing.
Adobe's financial plan is a threefold choice:
1. For Single Editions, it's a one-time payment by credit card ($395) - no additional contract or download fees.
2. For Professional Editions, a fee for your platform contract (on a monthly or yearly basis), plus a fee per download, depending on your contract type and chosen bundle (ranging from 12 to 30 cents). You can develop and distribute all kinds of Single and Multi Folio apps, and even produce them under "Agency" conditions, which means you're allowed to handle others their publications.
3. For Enterprise Editions: call an Adobe representative...

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.

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.

Making An Event Two Lines Long In Month View

Hey Everyone,
I only use iCal in month view and most of the time when I enter an event that has a long name it shows up as two lines, so I am able to read it all. However, sometimes it only goes for a single line and cuts off the end of the event title. How do I change this to show two lines?
Thanks!!

I have the same question. One workaround is to copy an existing two-line event to the day that you want to create a new event. Then edit that to change it to the event name you want. This seems to work even though just typing a new name truncates it to one line.
I hope someone can provide a more elegant solution.
