The calendar is a disappointment, right?

So,
I'm seriously considering buying an Iphone. It looks awesome except for the fact that the Calendar seems to lack a lot of the features that we know from iCal. Actually this is the only reason I have not bought this awesome Phone yet... How can the iPhone expect to conquer the Smart phone market without a prober Calendar funtion?
Does anyone know if Apple has made a statement about upgrading the iCal in the future versions of Iphone?
Thanks

CALENDAR IS AN ABSOLUTE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!
I don't want to sync to outlook or ical! Why should I have to turn my computer on to use my calendar properly...I want to enter a date in my phone and use a decent alert system....not a matter of being 'marketed for consumers or reviewed as a consumer product'....talk about being nit-picky!
I simply want to enter meeting times and places and be able to enter them into the phone (not computer)...I don't want to have to type in my third Thursday of every month apointment manually for each and every month, or turn my computer on and have to enter it there.
Here's a novel idea, since it's an Ipod too-why not be able to hook it up to your car stereo-I could my IPOD. Afterall, they're both consumer products!
If you rely on your phone and it's calendar--don't buy this first generation phone! Wait until they fix it....you'll be much happier! I don't know why apple doesn't offer new calendar software already!
I miss my treo calendar for sure. I paid $599 for mine-but I'd want a good calendar even for $399!

  • I can't see the "plus" sign in my upper right corner ind the calendar!?

    I can't see the "plus" sign in my upper right corner ind the calendar!?

    In my database connection i can`t see the plus sign on the
    database tab.
    Not quite clear to me what you mean by that. In any case, you
    should configure the data source in the Coldfusion Administrator.
    Open the CF Admin page,
    http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
    . Go to the
    Data Sources section. Create a new datasource, for example,
    by entering the following
    Data Source Name:
    eventplanning
    Driver:
    Microsoft Access with Unicode
    Press the
    Add button. Enter the value
    Database File:
    C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\cafe_townsend\contact\coldfusion\eventplanning.mdb
    Press the
    Submit button. Coldfusion will then verify the connection to
    the database. Confirm that its status is
    OK. If so, the eventplanning datasource is configured for
    use in your Coldfusion application.

  • TS3988 The calendar items that I have updated on my desktop recently are not uploading to my phone. I'm not even sure iCloud is working at all for me right now. I have received a message that my @me account needs a password, but I have another apple ID in

    Please help!

    Your me address does not necessarily have to be the same as your ID. If you are receiving messages about your password in regard to your me address that is related to your ID, this may well be an issue with mail only. However you should check System preferences> iCloud, to make sure you are logged into the correct account.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • How can I get rid of the calendar icon that's showing on the top right of my screen?

    I can't figure out why the calendar icon is only showing when locked? When I unlock it it's not telling me I've missed anything and the icon isn't there so I can't figure out where's it coming from to delete it. Help!
    Solved!

    Try a Battery Pull:
    1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
    2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
    3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
    This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=2766​0
    A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.

  • My Iphone 5s doesn't ring anymore (sms, whatsapp, phone call, reminder in the calendar, etc)

    My Iphone 5s doesn't ring anymore (sms, whatsapp, phone call, reminder in the calendar, etc) I can't find why.
    I trieds to go on Youtube and for that I have sound so it is just for the rings.
    Can somebody help me please?
    Thank you so much!
    Mary

    Have you checked your mute switch (right above the volume buttons)? If you see orange, it is muted and will affect the rings, but not the audio on YouTube.
    Just toggle the switch so you don't see the orange and check again.

  • ICal problem--an error box comes up an won't go away. I can't close the error box and I can't activate the calendar because the error box needs to be cleared. There is no place on the box to click in order to close it.

    I have a problem that just affects iCal. An error box popped up when I was trying to past something into a new appointment. The box blocks me from using the calendar. I can't clear the error box. It has nowhere to click to close it. Nothing happpens when I right click it. I have force closed iCal, but when it reopens the error box is still there blocking any use of the calendar. There is no error number, just a copy of the text I was trying to paste.

    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

    Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
    are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
    I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
    Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

    I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
    both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
    Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
    I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
    update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
    And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
    I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
    Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

  • How to change the day and time seen on the calendar

    Hi.
    I am a bit confused as to how to restrict the day and time shown on a calendar.
    The ical help says this:
    To change the days of the week or the number of hours that appear in the main calendar view, choose iCal > Preferences, and make your choices from the Week and Day pop-up menus in the General pane. For example, you can choose to only see the hours from 9AM to 5PM on Monday through Friday.
    However, in my preferences pane, i don't have a either a week or day pop up menu that i can see, so i can't seem to restrict these fields. It's really frustrating as calendars are beginning at 1am!!!!
    Anybody got any ideas?
    Thanks
    David Tobin

    OK, but what did the help menu mean when it said..
    To view the day's, week's, or month's events, click the Day, Week, or Month button at the bottom of the iCal window.
    To change the days of the week or the number of hours that appear in the main calendar view, choose iCal > Preferences, and make your choices from the Week and Day pop-up menus in the General pane. For example, you can choose to only see the hours from 9AM to 5PM on Monday through Friday.
    To change which months are shown in the mini-month calendar (in the lower-left corner of the iCal window), click the arrows above the mini-month calendar. To see more than one month, drag the mini-month divider (the horizontal gray bar above the diamond) upward.
    To see events that are earlier or later in the day, use the scroll bar on the right side of the main calendar view.
    To change the range of time in the main calendar view that is not shaded (representing your "normal" day), choose iCal > Preferences. In the General pane, choose the times you want to appear in white (not shaded) from the "Day starts at" and "Day ends at" pop-up menus. All times outside that range are shaded.
    This suggests that you should be able to limit the hours actually shown on the calendar to a set range as opposed to just changing the shaded area.
    Have you any idea how to achieve this, as i don't see the popup menu suggested with...

  • How do I create a Public Group on the Calendar Server?

    How do I create a Public Group on the Calendar Server?
    <P>
    Anyone can create Private Groups or Member Only Groups. You must be given
    administrative rights to create Public Groups on the Calendar Server. The
    Calendar Server Admin (SYSOP) can give anyone rights to create Public Groups by
    using the uniadmrights tool.
    <P>
    Go to /users/unison/bin/
    and run the uniadmrights
    tool. Some sample syntax:
    <P>
    To list all users with administrative rights:<P>
    % uniadmrights -ls -host yourhostname
    <P>
    To give John Smith, a user on node 10000, rights to administer Public Groups:<P>
    % uniadmrights -e "S=Smith/G=John" -add -pgrp -n 10000
    <P>
    In Calendar Server 4.0, you also have the option of using the Admin Server GUI
    to assign Administrative
    rights (instead of using the command-line method) by going to User Management,
    Administration Rights.
    <P>
    With the proper administrative rights, log into the Calendar Client. Go to Options,
    Manage Groups to create a new group. Choose PUBLIC from the dropdown window,
    add your users and/or resources and click OK to create the Public Group which
    can be seen by all users on the local Calendar Server.

    Re: Configure DNS - OS X Server Next Steps
    Feb 13, 2011 6:36 AM (in response to Jimbooooooo)
    You're setting up internal DNS services, you referenced your ISP DNS servers and you should not have, and now those servers have no translations for your hosts. This is a common misconfiguration.
    See [configuring DNS on Mac OS X Server|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436] for how to set up your internal DNS server.
    And if there are any references to your ISP DNS servers here (within your client settings, within your server settings, your Airport settings, etc), then you're usually going to have DNS and connectivity problems. You're running a server now, so you'll be running your own services, and (particularly because of NAT here) referencing only your own DNS server(s).
    You may be setting up external DNS (if and when you need that), but that should happen after you set up your internal DNS. The above article has a link to setting up external DNS, when you get around to that, if/when you need in-bound connections into your LAN.

  • Printing daily tasks in the calendar view

    How can I print the To Do's /Tasks in the side bar as part of my daily/day view in iCal.
    I want to print out the day. And generally that includes my to do's for the day, even if there is not date attached (pick up eggs, etc ).
    Yes, some how, miraculously, it's missing.
    I've gone to the print setting and ticked off ' print to do's' in the calendar, but they don't
    I would like something that would, uh, print what i see, i.e., my day and the to do's along side of it. How is it that this seemingly simple feature is so overlooked? Or am i missing something basic. Could be!
    thanks
    Morley.

    I felt the same as you...looked around for ages to see I was missing something, then I came here and found solace in the disappointment others regarding precisely the same issues.
    One way around it is to print in LIST view.  You will get the Events in the Calendar listed in chronological order but you won't see the entire day laid out from start to finish (a bit of a pain).  The TO DO's will be listed but, whaddaya know, they no longer are grouped by calendar.  At least the Events aren't duplicated.
    Seems Apple has dropped the ball AGAIN on the simplest of tasks.
    BusyCal is the only app that I've found that is decent in dealing with these issues, but I refuse to pay $49.99 for basically one or two simple tasks that iCal should perform.
