Unknown People's B'day in My iCal

So I'm scrolling through iCal on my iPhone 4, to plan my vacation, and I come across Jessica Meister's Birthday notation along with Marlin Cohen's and Isabel Cohen's. Cool? Notsomuch. It would be - if I knew these people, but I don't. I have never synced my phone with anyone else's computer or phone and my MacBook Pro's iCal does not have these notations.
How could this be? Is it possible for someone on the train to pull data off or plant data on my phone wirelessly without my knowing? How about when I'm at the coffee shop using their wifi signal? This is really weird.

Hmmm... Have you double checked the address book on you Mac just to confirm they're not there? Are you subscibed to any calendars that might contain these? Is there any chance they're being pulled from an Exchange server?

All day events created on iPod touch syncing a day late in iCal

Hi everyone,
When I create an all day event on the iPod touch and then sync to my mac, the newly created event shows up a day late in iCal, but remains correct on the iPod. I've noticed one or two other forums where people are having this problem but it doesn't appear to have been solved yet. Has anyone got any ideas about why this would happen? It's really bugging me as the calendar was one of the main reasons I bought the iPod in the first place, I'm thinking about taking it back if I can't get it to work. It appears to be a new problem as of some time this year (judging by other's experience, I've only had mine a week) so perhaps a dodgy software update?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

should clarify that I deleted duplicate events on the ipod so that should have left one in ical. there is still one listed in ical on the ipod but not on the computer, so deleting duplicate entry deleted it entirely from my ical on computer and mobile me. no icloud yet

Sometimes I can't get out of Day view in iCal. There is no where on the screen to select month view, even when I close it out and go back into iCal.

Sometimes I am locked in "day" view in iCal. There is no where on the screen to choose "month" view, even when I close it out and open again. Tapping anywhere on the screen or scrolling doesn't help.

Give this a try:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try full screen again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

How do I control the order of all day events in iCal?

How do I control the order of all day events in iCal? Even if I painstakingly try to
re-order the events the way I want them, when they print, they are in a different order.
I have searched other forums and no one seems to have an answer to this. Has
anyone found the solution? Thanks!

I also have this issue, where the events in iCal change when viewing in print preview or printing. I even notice they will switch if I try to print again??!!! I am using different calendars to show different colours. and they are setup on iCloud not on my mac.
it is becomign frustrating when I print 2 months worth and ssome events are correct in order and alas some will change when I print again!
Can anyone help please?
thanks

How can I adjust event window size while in day view on ical?

How can I adjust the all-day event window size while in day view on ical? I have thee all-day events, but they're just a little too big to simultaneously appear without having to scroll up/down the all-day event section.

{Ctrl + Scroll wheel} does a Page Zoom and that setting is saved domain by domain.
'''View > Zoom > Reset''' while you're viewing one of those zoomed-out pages in the SmartZone.

All-day events in iCal become 2-day events on iPhone

Since I updated to 1.1.2, all my all-day events in iCal become 2-day events on the iPhone. Has anyone else had this problem? I can reset the end time on the iPhone, but I have lots of recurring monthly events and it would take forever to do this manually.

I have the very same issue. I solved it once somehow but now it's back. I use Plaxo to sync between Outlook-iCal-iPhone and maybe that somehow has confused the phone. Let me know if you find any solutions. I will do the same.

All day events - synching ical with Symbian S60

I guess this must have come up before.....
I cannot find a way of synching all-day events on iCal with my E90. iSync will not sync iCal all-day events across to the E90, just seems to ignore them. I thought I'd be clever and enter all-days as memos on the E90. Fine when it syncs to iCal - they come across OK as all-days in iCal but, when I sync again, the memos get deleted from the E90. Most strange.

I have the same issue on all day events synced from Exchange. The items look fine in the day or month view.

All day event in iCal

I am trying to add an 'All day event' in iCal (have tried on the MacBook Pro and iPhone4) for the 7/10/11. This keeps saving over 2 days the 6/10 and 7/10, even if I change the date manually, after saving it reverts back to both days. Have done plenty of other all day events with no issues, not sure why this one is not working.... Any ideas?

Yes, Apple any help for this would be great. The only way I've come to work around is to use multiple events. So for a flight out of town would be one event, and the return another. I would create a third event then for the actual time out of town. There must be some way to easily fix this.

How do you change the time of day presets in ical?

How do you change the time of day presets in ical? I would like them to be only 1 hour difference, with the preset start times of 10:00 am and end time of 6:00 pm, if I have anything starting after 4:00 pm it also changes the date to the next day. Incredibly annoying!

Hi there jenni6,
It looks like this is possible in the Calender prefernces. Take a look at the article below for more infromation.

Can't add all-day events in iCal w/Lion

After Lion 10.7.1 upgrade, I can add an all-day event in iCal on my MacBook but not on my MacBook Air. On the Air an event added with no time just does not appear. On the Air an event added with a time appears, but editing the event and checking the "all-day" box causes the event to disappear.

>>Who'd have thought this was optional?
Again... S. Jobs apparently thinks its optional.
Devolution...like many things in Lion.

HOW CAN INVITE PEOPLE IN A GROU EVENT ON ICAL WITHOUT THEM SEE EACH OTHER EMAIL ADDRESS

Hi, I never use any of these, but according to this it uses eMal, so I'd think moving the adressees to the BCC: field should do it.

Unknown people harrassing me

Hello, I have been receiving daily requests to add unknown people to my contact list. These people also send me messages through chat and it is very annoying to read these messages. For the past year I have been blocking these people and reporting it as abuse, but the problem hasn't been fixed. My settings are fine, they are all put on "only friends can contact me", but I still seem to receive these very abusive spam. Please give me some information that I can use to prevent this. My daughter also has a skype and luckily she doesn't have that problem. So there must be something I can change, even though my daughter and I have the same settings.
Thank you very much in advance, I am looking forward to a reply.

    Hi Ostende238...and ty for your post. I've had Skype for at least 5 yrs and never had this problem. In one week, I've had to people wanting me to add them to my contact list.
   My settings have always been for privacy, so since this is so recent and my settings have not been changed, I think this is a Skype security problem - maybe from an update? idk.
    My question here is...did you ever get an answer to the problem?

Is anyone having problems with the iOS 6 update? Random, unknown people are involved in my text messages!

Is anyone having a problem with iOS 6 update? Random, unknown people are involved in my text messages!

I noticed that after I linked Facebook to my iphone, I had tons of new entries in my Contacts. I found a way to turn that feature off. Perhaps that's your problem with randoms joining in on your convos.
Yep, follow the instructions listed by the guy above me. I also did this: Settings ---> Facebook ---> Contacts: Off (allow these apps to use ur account). That cleared out all my Facebook friend phone numbers from my Contact list on my phone. Hope this helps. Updating an os should not require oodles of work on our end.

Two days missing on iCal

Two days on my iCal have become blank and I am unable to even add new events on those days. When viewed in the week or month view, the entire week and month are blank. Any idea what is going on and how I can fix it?

Greetings Josh,
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
3. Test iCal
If the issue persists:
1. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
2. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

How do I disable all-day events in iCal?

For some reason, when I run iCal it'll always show all-day events regardless of how I turned it off. Given that I'm not a fan of defining an event as all-day, this is very annoying, as it pushes down my calendar and plops an annoying bar at the top that I need to manually remove. Preferences don't seem to show anything useful and google seems full of people trying to sync all-day events to various and sundry mobile phones, which isn't what I want; iCal's help is sparse as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks! =)

ah yes, the default view shows all-day events every time you launch the application, no way around that, and it looks like a minor "bug". you may want to send feedback to apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html
hope this helps
