Time of event showing up instead of title

When looking at the month view of ical... the time of the event is displayed instead of the event title. (it used to be the other way around before I got a new hardrive) Is there any way to switch it back???
Help please!

themudgirl137,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Open iCal>Preferences...>General> and change the "Show time in month view" setting.
If that is not the problem, try "refreshing" the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

  • Past one-time calendar events do not show up on synced Ipod Touch 2G

    In the transition of moving my old Palm calendar info (data since late 1999) to iCal on my Macbook and then on to Mobile Me, everything has gone fine. Nearly every single event has been accurately transferred to the Mac and then to the "cloud" with nary a problem. However, when I sync my new iPod Touch 2G to the Mobile Me calendar, the iPod calendar's events are only complete for the past month. Reoccurring events show up for past months and years, but no one-time events pre mid-August 2008 show up on the iPod calendar. I am viewing "all" calendars when I do this. New events sync on all devices without error.
    This is a 16 gig iTouch not even half full with software and data goodies.
    What's the deal? Am I missing a setting or preference somewhere? I sometimes like to see when past events happened on my portable device's calendar. This was no problem on the ancient Palm I previously used.
    TIA for any help or advice with this mystery.

    On the iPod go to :-
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar
    Then scroll down to the Calendar settings.
    You should see an option called 'Sync', here you select how far back it will sync events. You can select 'All Events' which is what you want.

  • Ical all day events show over 2 days during standard time (Nov-Apr)

    Any all day event (either a holiday or an event I have repeating every year like a birthday) I have on my calender during standard time (from November to April) shows over a two day period.
    For example, Christmas Eve shows up on Dec. 23 and 24.
    I have tried syncing with time zone support on and off. I have tried using the same time zone in a different hemisphere. I had this problem last year and again this year. Once we switch to daylight savings the event show correctly.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the link--seems I'll just have to deal with the Palm/iCal calendaring anomalies. Do these "representation disconnects" have anything to do with the weird behavior of my iCal calendars, now that I've synced my palm data to iCal? Immediately after the original Palm/iCal sync, the calendars came up in iCal with no problem. Once I quit iCal, however, and then re-opened it, the list of calendars had disappeared from the "Calendars" pane to the left of the grid, and all of the events had disappeared as well.
    As someone reported elsewhere in this forum, changing the viewing mode (day, week or month) causes the events themselves to reappear, but the "Calendars" pane remains blank.
    I had hoped to ditch palm desktop and streamline my calendar /contact--computer/iPhone syncing, but iCal's odd behavior is making me question whether or not it is stable enough to fully rely on.
    Is there anything that will make the calendars and events perform more reliably?

  • Can I print a calander without showing the times of events?

    Can I print a calander without showing the times of events. Or, alternatively, is there a way to list things without having them be an event. Just notes on the day, for instance.

    It seems like a simple solution must be at hand. There is an option in the iCal Preferences (General) panel--Show event times. With this command unchecked the screen view of the month view is free of the times of day, but when I print the month view the times of day are printed.

    The Videos are showed up front 4 months, but now they are no longer to be seen. When you star a video first the hard drive starts, but then it stops and hangs up. I have to restart it, starting with the apple logo....

  • Why do some events show date and time in ical?

    Some events show the date and time, others show only the time. I cannot find a setting in preferences to have it be one way or another. I do enter events both on the computer and also my iphone 4s, but that doesn't seem to be the difference.

  • In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my iPad Air, the Events arrive in the proper order but not showing the Key Photo.  At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto on the iPad in totally random order but showing the Key Photo.Why?

    In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my Ipad Air, the Events arrive in Photos in the correct order but not showing the Key photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto in a totally random order but with the Key phto showing. Why? of course and is there a way to shift the order in Iphoto and get a Key photo in Photos?

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

  • While downlaoding any type of file instead of showing the file size 'unknown time remaining' is showing?

    While downlaoding any type of file instead of showing the file size 'unknown time remaining' is showing? Please suggest solution to these problems?

    I followed ALL the Above suggestions to NO AVAIL!
    When I start a download, if I then Click PAUSE, it WILL NOT CANCEL & IT WILL NOT RESUME, just sits there stating "unknown time remaining"
    and I CAN'T GET RID OF IT!
    It would seem that Something Changed with the latest Firefox Beta Update that is causing this Anomalie.. Please FIX ASAP as I find this Very Annoying.
    With ANY Download in Limbo the Firefox Taskbar Icon displays a Partial Download Progress THAT NEVER CHANGES and I can not tell what Other Downloads are doing - It also Warns me that X-Number of Downloads are Still Pending when I go to Close Firefox, but as I stated, these Downloads are DOING NOTHING & CAN'T BE REMOVED!

  • After Maverick, calendar not showing time of event

    on Friday, my OS was updated to Maverick and now my calendar displys the events but no time on the month view. To see time of events I have to go to week view, which I do not like at all... Anyone knows how to get this resolved? The preferences doe nto give me that choice, at least as far as I can tell. Thanks for the help.

    To see event times in month view, you can either make the Calendar window bigger, or, if you want to keep the window small, you can add the time to event titles.
    (IMO, Calendar works best as a full screen app.)

    I have been having issues with my iCloud email on my iMac. For some time period, everyday, it won't reload and often shows symbols instead of letters for the text. Any ideas how to solve?

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • Bug: Repeating Google Calendar Events Show Up On The Wrong Days

    I've created a Google Calendar event that repeats "Daily," every two days, from 6:00pm to 6:30pm. It shows up fine in my Google Calendar, but the Pre's Calendar puts them on the wrong days. For example, the repeating event that should be scheduled for today shows up tomorrow (offset by +1 day). 
    I tried turning off network timezones, but the bug remains.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this is a bug, how can I submit it to Palm?
    Thanks! 
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
    Some new data:
    If I create the repeating event on my Pre, rather than via Google, it shows up on the Pre correctly. However, it only shows up for one day via Google (today); the event is not repeated. When I edit the event in Google, it's setup correctly. I tried saving the event from there, but it doesn't cause Google to recognize it should repeat.
    Very frustrating.
    Even more new data:
    Created yet another event via my Pre instead of via Google. This time Google picked up the correct repeat pattern, and my Pre now shows it on the correct days.
    Calendar sync needs serious work, based on my experience. I have issues with Facebook events showing up an hour later than they should, too. Dunno if this has been fixed yet.
    New Data (01/28/2010)
    Not sure why, but the above success reverted back to being off by one day; temporary success only.

    Hi, another quick question: you say you turned off network timezones.... did you make sure that the (now manually set) timezone is correct?
    Sounds similar to other issues related to the timezone being off, but usually the appointments were off by hours... not day(s).  However if your timezone is set to something really odd and the event you're creating is around midnight (again depends on a few things here), then MAYBE this is it.
    If it isn't, one of the support guys will have to chat with you privately about possibly collecting logs, getting more granular details, etc.

  • Wen I save stuff I can't use the (:).  It showes the (-) instead.

    When I put in the title of what I want to save I can't make the (:). It showes the instead. For example, if I save a time like 22:00, it comes out 22-00. I figured it was the keyboard and bought a new one. If it is the keyboard, it is obviously a manufacturing error. Is anyone else having this problem?

    When using my iMac G4 with 10.3.9, and "save as" etc, the same limitations
    exist. Since I have not been using my other computer as much with 10.4.8 installed,
    I'm not sure if Tiger offers more text options when chosing saved item titles.
    [Apparently not; since you are using a later system at this time.]
    Since I've used most versions of OSX since the first Public Beta, which
    was a very limited experimental system, there have been less choices
    in saving item text compared to OS 9.2.2. Some file names have limits.

  • Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?

    Hi, Im not a frequent forum poster, as most of my questions can be found already answered on them!
    This is a question Ive had for a long time and it amazes me that no-one else seems to ask it. I check at each OS upgrade but its never there...
    Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
    I was able to do this years ago in MS Outlook, and utilized it all the time when I needed to push things back, now I have to open the event and select an new date in the drop-down calendar for each & every event I want to move to a new month at the end of the month.
    If its definitely not possible, how to you ask apple to consider including it - it doesnt seem like a particularly difficult task.
    Thankyou
    Andrew.

    Andrew,
    Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
    No, but you can use cut/paste. Cut (⌘X) the event, then click on the week where you want to move the event, and Paste (⌘V).

  • I accidentally ran iPhoto Library Upgrader on my Picture folder and now I have to right click on it to "show contents" instead of looking at it in Finder.  Help!

    Help!  I have 2 problems related to iPhoto:
    1:  I accidentally ran iPhoto Library Upgrader on my Picture folder and now I have to right click on it to "show contents" instead of double clicking on it and looking at it in Finder.  I cannot figure out how to fix my Pictures Folder so that I can click on it and view it in Finder, when I double click on it Terminal opens up with this message  "Pictures - Bash 80x24"  and
    Last login: Mon Nov  3 14:00:05 on ttys000

    It will not let me replace or delete the folder...  I got to my files and backed them up, but trying to avoid reinstalling my OS.
    2:  When I try to Upgrade my Library.iPhoto file so I can open it in iPhoto it says I need to finish by opening in iPhoto, but then when I do, it tells me it first needs to be upgraded in the iPhoto Library Upgrader... Vicious circle.  Please, help!  Just trying to recover about 3 years worth of photos...

    Hi!  Thanks for responding!
    I have iPhoto 9.5.1, I am on OS X Version 10.9.5 on a MacBook Pro with 2.66 GHz
    My current "iPhoto Library" file is OK (I can open it with iPhoto), however I cannot access the old one from iPhoto 6 titled Library.iPhoto
    I tried right clicking and choosing the application, it did not work.
    "exactly how did you "I got to my files and backed them up"" - I showed the contents of my Pictures folder, and it opened up the folders in Finder and I copied them to an external hard drive.  In my Picture folder I have several folders of Photos plus the iPhoto Library files (old & current)
    I do have old back ups, but they are from April, and I recently imported 5 months of photos from my iPhone, so the iPhoto Library I copied after showing contents is the one I need.

  • Ical events showing in week view as an hour later than the details in event

    Hi all,
    I've just been upgrading my ical / mobileme and I can't figure this out. All time zones are set to London-UK. If I look up appointments in week view all my calendars are colour coded. One particular calendar appears 1hr late with appointments. When I go into the details of this even it show correct time. For example. Kids school looks like it's in for 9:50 in week view but when I go into appointment it reads the correct time of 08:50?
    Any ideas. Thanks
