When in ical monthly view how do I select one day to look at?

I am doing some work updating a variety of appointments in my diary, when I am in monthly view in ical, and I want to open up a day view in the future to look in more detail at the events for that day I am unable to choose a view for that day, I am automatically given todays view if I click on Day, and if I click on the day in question in the month view I am invited to add an event, which is not what I want.

roonz,
What operating system are you using?
I am using Mavericks Calendar. In "Month" view, when I click once on the day, and then switch to the "Day" view, the day that I clicked on once is displayed.

ICal month view - appointments over two days

Very annoying but when entering a new event in the month view it defaults to an all day event - ok I can cope with that.
But when double clicking the new event to change it to a timed event (still in month view) and tabbing through the dates and time, the duration seems to default to 6+ hours, so after 17:00 defaults to being over two days and it is too easy to miss changing the end date.
Is there a way out of this?

In the month view, it's all down to the number of events you have on that day plus the size of the window/resolution of the screen.
If there's room, iCal will display all of an event's description, but if you shrink the window or add more events, the description will reduce in size- eventually into two columns - to give a chance of seeing all of them. Once there are more events than fit, you'll see an elipsis ( ... } at the top of the day. When this happens, you can only see ALL that day's events by going to week or day views.
You can potentially fit more in on the month view by turning-off the option to show the event time in month view in iCal Preferences.

ICal month view some events shown only as ..., they show correctly in other views.

This is so utterly annoying- I never had this issue with previous versions of iCal, and I can't even run those versions on tiger now that I've upgraded. The tiger upgrade in general has disrupted my workflow much more than I thought it would-
Because of the way I use iCal, not seeing the full even title in month mode makes iCal pretty much useless to me. I don't want to have to click between dozens of events that begin with "Renders of" to find which set of renderings are due on which days. Nor do I want to go through and rename all of my "Renders of Levels 1a-3c" etc to make the titles more useful. It should just WORK.
Well, let me know if anyone finds a better way of making this work other than "resizing ad lib until things sorta show up"

Can I change the Lion iCal Monthly View "New Event" from All Day?" Default?

I have tried all the posted suggestions to change the iCal "new event" preferably in Monthly View from the default of "All Day" but to no avail. This is a current issue so old terminal changes do not seem to work. Anyone have the same issue?

I also have an issue with not being able to change "end times". Four instance if I schedule an event at 9:00 AM iCal defaults to 10:00 AM. I'll click the end time to change it to 4:00 PM and the time will not change. It defaults back to the same start time or one hour later. I can get the drop down list to appear, but the options are not enough to schedule anything over 3 hours.
Nor can change the "add day" default.
I appreciate any advice/assistance you guys have.
Thanks!

Calendar has started crashing when switching to month view?

I have an iPad with iOS 7.1.1. This morning the calender started crashing every time I went to the month view. It is fine in day view. Stranly, Planner Plus app is doing the same thing? It seems something that both apps use is causing it to crash. Has anyone seen this or have advice.
I am an Apple newbie. I have had my iPad for six months and my iPhone for two. I am still finding my way around the system.

James, I am not sure what you mean by signing in and out of those accounts? The Calendar cannot be deleted and reinstalled. I haven't tried to delete the Planner Plus one yet. I have a lot of notes in it that I really don't want to lose.
I have talked with Apple and after trying a reset, they want me to wipe the pad clean. This will be the second time in the six months that I have had the iPad. I find it more than a bit frustrating when, I can't even just back up the data to my computer and reinstall it. I have done a backup in iTunes but, as I understand it, iTunes did not back up the 20 gbs of data, music, photos, and pdfs which are installed on the iPad through 3rd party apps like Bongiovi, Good Reader, and Docs to Go.
At the moment, I am sorry I bought into Apple's BS. At least when Windows crashed, I had a full backup I could install. I don't recall these issues with my Android pad either. My experience with Apple so far has been mostly a PITA.
Thanks for trying to help me James. I do appreciate it, even if I am put out with Apple right now.

I have burned pictures to a dvd off of my iMac. When I try to view them on my macbook I can only look at one picture at a time. Is there anyway to view as a slideshow?

What app do you use to view them?

I cannot make a simple purchase of a $.99 of Beethoven's 9 symphony 4th Movement. When I click on the orchestra, a pop-up states "connecting - loading" and nothing happens. When I click on "View iTunes" for this selection, nothing happens.

AlexCarey, I've been having issues purchasing recently and place a number of calls to the support team. On Oct. 5th, and on my own decision, I went into my itunes profile and re-entered my credit card expiration date and security code. (Notice, it is not displayed for safety measures.) Today, I received an email from Apple support verifying if I made changes made to my account. For the heck of it, I logged back into itunes; click "Buy". It's working again after three days of failure. However, diagnosis still displays "Secure link to itunes store failed". Very confusing state of affairs, lately. See my post on "Itunes dilemma"

How do I hide time stamp in iCAL month view for Mavericks 10.9?

I want to hide the time in Month View like I could before in 10.8. Please help! Calendar is too cluttered in month view for me to read. In 10.8 you could select or deselect "Show time in month view". Is there a way to do this in Maveriks 10.9?

I have this same question! I DON'T WANT THE EVENT TIME TO SHOW ! I often just put my events anywhere on my calendar and have them take up 3 or 4 hours just so they show up larger, disregarding the times on the calendar, but rather typing my own times in at the beginning. So, having the actual calendar event time show is very confusing. Before the update, you could UNCHECK, show event times. NoW that option does not exist!! There must be a way to go into the system, and disable this function, however I am not computer literate enough to know how to do it without specific instructions. DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS??? Thanks in advance!!

Text Wrapping in iCal Month View?

How can I get event descriptions to wrap on the month view of my calender? Sometimes only one line of text appears and only the time of the event is visible, while in other events the text will wrap over to a second line and I can read the entire description. It’s frustrating to have to open the edit box to see what the event is!

In the month view, it's all down to the number of events you have on that day plus the size of the window/resolution of the screen.

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 monthly view on ipad not showing time

My ical preference from my laptop is not carrying over to ipad. How can I get ical (in monthly view) to show appointment time withou

No, the appointments will not "get messed up". If you leave time zone support off the calendar will stay exactly as it was at home. If you turn on time zone support for the new time zone you're in ( or other country ) the appointment times will change or convert to times and days in that zone or country. When you turn off time zone support after returning home it'll all convert back to that time zone.
Example. You have an appointment (10am Thursday) with Joe in your hometown in Chicago. On Tuesday you fly to Tel Aviv and switch Time Zone Support on for Tel Aviv. The calendar will show the upcoming appointment with the newly converted time and date in the calendar. At that new time and date of the appointment it'll be 10am Thursday back home.

TS1702 iCal month view display problem

iPhone 4GS after upgrade to IOS 6.0.0 and still with 6.0.1, iCal in month view is inconsistently showing dots on the dates when I have events occurring. The events themselves are there, but often the dots themselves do not display. A month with 12 days of events might show only one or two dots. Never happened before upgrades.

Hey, thank you.
But how do I change the font and its size?
I tried....
Thanks,

Ical Month View doesn't work

Okay, this just started happening to me randomly about 2 weeks after I got my macbook. Ical can no longer be viewed in month view. Furthermore, in either week view or day view, the page on the right that lets you set specific date/time as well as priority, alarms and notes and such, no long exists either. iCal starts, however nothing shows up as it starts in month view. When I click view>week view, that shows up fine (but still without the editor pane as I described above), but as soon as I click on month view, everything disappears. Please Advise

Hi,
This is a problem with your iCal's preferences.
The easiest way to deal with it is to close iCal, go to your users Library > Preferences, find the file 'com.apple.iCal.plist' and delete it. When you re-open iCal the window positions will revert to deafult. Open iCal's preference window and make sure all your settings are how you want aftter this.
