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.

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
ModVer: 6.2.1.0 Offset: 0003d95e

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 after updating windows

Palm Desktop crashes on startup since I updated Windows XP (yesterday). Palm Desktop prompts me for password (as set up) but crashes immediately after that which invokes the odious Windows message: "Palm Desktp has detected a problem and must close - send message report?". I already tried unistalling and reinstalling Palm Desktop without success. Does anybody have any pointers? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your data has been corrupted, possibly your calendar,
There is a few things to try.
1. If your default calendar view is the month, I would do this step first. Change your date on your computer to two months in the future or past, then try to relaunch palm desktop. Let me know if it launches and I will tell you how to fix that.
2. If your default calendar view is not the month, the do this step. Locate your user folder it is in my documents/palm os desktop/variation of hotsync id
Once you find the hotsync id folder. Grab that and move it to your desktop so it is no longer in the palm os desktop folder. Then try to relaunch palm desktop
Let me know if either one of these steps let you open palm desktop then we will go into fixing them.

Continuous scrolling not working in Calendar month view

Scrolling does not work in Calendar month view. I have toggled System Preferences >General > Show scroll bars to "Always on." Still nothing in Calendar month view.
BUT, wait! Now every other app (except Calendar month view) now has the scroll bar "Always on" even though I toggled back to "Automatically based on...", then restarted my computer. I don't want to see the scroll bars all the time but now I can't hide them anywhere. It seems "Always on" amd "Automatically based on..." now do the same thing. Serious bug.
Any hints? Thanks

This is odd, but the calendar scrolling in Month view is working on my machine. It's been through various reboots - and I checked the disc (SSD) and permissions.
Seems to me that the calendar application is sensitive to the scrolling.
Also, I've been suffering from Firefox vertical scrolling stopping. The "fix" is to quit & restart Firefox. However... this scroll-crashing behaviour goes away for a few days then comes back with a vengence. Again, I've a feeling that a full reboot seems to help things.
Yet another mouse-related problem I've been having is with VMWare. These frequently interpret a single-click as a double-cliick or even triple-click. Some chatter in the VMWare forums about this too.
All of this behaviour *never* ocurred prior to the Mavericks upgrade.

Change calendar month view in iOS 6.

Can calendar month view be changed in iOS 6? I want my weekend to complete the weeks as I am able to do in iCal.

I have the same problem. What happened?!?!?
This is terrible and only occurred over last few days.
If you hit magnifying glass goes to search, if you hit the computer icon goes as far as split screen.
Tried to go under general to see if calendar view options but nothing....
This is horrendous for people that have more than two items in a day ( how about the ENTIRE world)!!!
Please fix!!!

Appointment Time In Calendar Month View

Maybe I'm just missing it somewhere, but I cannot seem to find a way for the time of an appointment to show in the iPad Calendar month view.
In iCal on my mac, this is no problem. But sure would like to do it on the iPad.
Anyone know how to do that?
Thanks,

nope. as you have no doubt figured out, you have to tap on the appointment. then you will see a little pop up with the time

Calendar: Month view Needs Daily Items on Side

This is a "problem" on N8 and E7 and X6 (as far as I have noticed)
or probably all Symbian^3 phones....The Calendar month view simply shows a table of each month with dates sorted in columns of dayOfWeek.
This view takes up the full screen space.
I would like to request this view be similar to E72
1. When user select a date in the month -> another part of the screen would display the agenda of that date.

I have the same think as I have upgraded my N97 to E7 couple weeks ago
the month view in S^3 Calendar is not forthright as that in S60 5th

Calendar Month View won't scroll up and down

This is a very minor, but strange issue with Calendar.
I can scroll up and down in Calendar month view on my MacBook Air, but on my Mac Pro, I can only switch months by clicking the" >" button or "Command+Left Arrow".
Anyone know why?
Thanks.

I'm using Yosemite on both.
I did a little research and saw some comments that mentioned that vertical scrolling works with the trackpad, but not with mouse scroll wheels... so there's that. Doesn't make sense, but it's possible.

Calendar Month View, Scrolling

In Mavericks, calendar month view, trackpad scrolling works but mousewheel doesn't. Any solution?

I had a similar problem. I have a 27" iMac (Late 2012) and after installing Mavericks, I wasn't able to scroll using my Magic Mouse in Calendar, or any broswers--Safari, Chrome, and Firefox--even after setting my scrollbars to appear "always." I also wasn't able to access Dashboard with a 2 finger swipe or Mission Control with a double tap.
I called Apple Care and told the advisor about the threads that suggested resetting the PRAM or SMC. But he suggested that before we try that, I should restart my computer while keeping the "Reopen windows when logging back in" box unchecked. It solved my problem instantly, and I haven't had trouble scrolling anywhere since!!

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

Do not show dots for 'free' events in the calendar month view

I wish I could.... not show dots for 'free' events in the calendar month view. For an overview of when I have hard-scheduled events in the calendar it's pretty tedious and slow to go day -by day, and other views... Instead the dot in the month view... - why does it show even "free" events? Any ideas, tips?
Thanks!

Unfortunately there is no option to disable the dots.

Curve 9320 Any browser that shows Google Calendar month view?

Has anyone found a browser that will show the Google Calendar month view on the Curve? Here, the default browser will show Google Calendar onl in a much inferior agenda view, with no way I can see to select any other view.
Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I do have data defined. However, type is not. The specs don't seem to make it necessary to specify both, but if that helps I can. The webconsole shows one error:
Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated. Use defaultPrevented instead. That is an error in the jquery javascript code though.
Firebug doesn't show anything in its console.
I used iframe and the behavior is exactly sthe same. I'm beginning to think this is a google calendaring issue instead.
Thanks again.

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!

Palm Desktop Crash when click the Month Tab or Media

I have a new Centro and have loaded the Desktop v 6.2.2. I was running an older Destrop with my Tungsten but upgraded.
Since the upgrade, I get some strange behavior with the desktop.
First, when I open the calendar and then click on the month tab (in lower left corner), the system will either hourglass or will simply crash out. This is consistent. The other tabs work fine (Day, Week and Year), but not the Month tab.
Second, when I try to go into the Media function on Desktop, it will hourglass and never open Media. I'm then forced to close desktop because the system is locked. This problem is also consistent.
The last issue has to do with desktop system colors. The older version of Destop offered different colors to indicate business, personal or other categories. With 6.2.2 there are no color choices and everything is gray. Where did the colors go?
So far I like the Centro, but have not been impressed with the new Palm Desktop at all....
Any help is greatly appreciated.
PS---I'm using XP Pro Service Pack 3
Regards
Jeff
