Why does iCal work only some times? how can I fix it?

I think iCal is great. But sometimes it only shows the month but not the heading so I can move to another month. Other times when I go into the menu I can not add new events as this item is grayed out? Also if I try to go to a different day it doesn't go. I have repaired permissions. I have version 3.0.5. Any suggestions how I can make it more useable? Thank you

llw-00,
Often iCal problems can be rectified by refreshing the iCal plist file. Navigate to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder, and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file. Drag that file to your desktop, log out/in or restart and let us know what happens when you attempt to open iCal.
Additionally, since you appear to be having problems related to Date/Time open System Preferences...>International>Formats and experiment with changing Region/Dates/Times.

  • MBA 11 (2013) pinch zoom does not work after some time, how to fix it ?

    Recently I purchased MBA 11 (2013) model ( 4GB ram & 1.3 Ghz dual core). Although I use iPhone 5 & iPad 4 but never used mac. So when I found the track pad is capable of pinch zoom(along with other gesture) I was excited. But later I found after opening few apps (like safari, chrome etc) pinch zoom stop working . I need to restart in order to make it work again. Other gestures works fine just issue with the pinch zoom. Along with this issue I have some other questions as well
    1) How to fix this pinch zoom issue?
    2) I use eclipse for android development, but when I connect android phone/tablet - os crashes, no idea why?

    4) I want to use mouse (i am comfortable) - I need to know whether right click, wheel, ling click & drag works perfectly.

  • Why does roboform works only part time

    sometimes the toolbar appears,sometimes it doesn't,and that presents a very big problem.
    When it doesn't appear I cannot log in without knowing that particular password, and I have hundreds

    Have you rebooted since the upgrade? It's amazing to me how many glitches this can resolve. No data loss involved and no settings get reset: hold down the sleep/wake button up top along with the home button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • I recently changed my Apple ID password, but it does not work on iCloud. How can I fix this?

    Yesterday I changed my Apple ID password. Now iCloud keeps popping up now and then telling me to log in. And I enter the new password and it doesn't work! I am 100% sure that I am entering the password correctly. That popping up of iCloud is so annoying

    Try to:
    1) Login on www.icloud.com and see if it works from there
    2) Remove you iCloud account from the Mac, and readd it
    3) Reset your password again: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617

  • My iPod dispalys this message: "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore."  When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it.  The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?

    "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore."  When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it.  The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?
    I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore).  Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data. 
    I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC?  Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
    To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • What, exactly, are 'encoded assets'? Why does removing them resolve problems? How can they be avoided in the first place?

    What, exactly, are 'encoded assets'? Why does removing them resolve problems? How can they be avoided in the first place?

    As I understand it, encoding fomats your digital video clips and photos (assets) into Standard DVD mp2 format so that it can be burned to a DVD.  If there has been an error in the encoding process, then you remove the old encoded assets and start over.  There are numberous reasons why there can be errors in the encoding process.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

    Run Disk Utility to verify/repair your drive(s).  Boot from your installer dvd to repair the boot drive.  If the repair reports that it fixed anything then see if your problem is fixed.

  • IS IT IMPOSSIBLE? My iTunes library says 4149 songs, my iPhone says 4148 songs, and my iPad says 4147 songs.  Why don't they match?!  How can I fix it???

    My iTunes library says 4149 songs, my iPhone says 4148 songs, and my iPad says 4147 songs.  Why don't they match?!  How can I fix it???

    Yes. I selected all songs and checked them (in case I missed a few) and synced.  I have also tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it.  I tried selecting all songs and unchecking them, re-syncing my phone (which didn't get rid of the songs on my phone like i thought it would), then selected all songs again, checked them, and resynced again--nothing changed.  I went to the iTunes store and selected "Check for all available downloads" and it gave me the message"All purchases have been downloaded for this account."  I checked for duplicates, deleted a few and resynced.  This reduced the number of songs, but it still doesn't match what the iTunes library says...I don't know what to try next...
