Year-at-a-glance View in iCal

Once again, I am filling out next year's year-at-a-glance wall calendar and wish I had this view in iCal. With today's screens, a year-at-a-glance view shouldn't be difficult to implement and would be very useful. My favorite layout has 12 rows (one for each month, January at the top) and blocks for each day running from left to right with weekends shaded. When is Apple going to improve iCal? or at least enable others to make such improvements?

I can't believe this, I finally get round to organizing myself and ical doesn't do a year view.
I have hunted online for some way to make this happen and have ended up making a pdf of a printout to be able to see it.
This can only be a temp solution, as my diary changes a lot and printing/pdf is not very elegant or efficient or even that easy to read quickly.
In my online search I have found posts requesting this as far back as 2003, and 6 years is to long to wait for something that surely must be such a simple solution.
I'm also stunned by the lack of plugin/widget/app solutions from 3rd party developers, I would definitely pay a a buck or 2 for something to let me do this well within ical,
And If I want it you can be sure there are at least another 100,000 who would also pay, maybe we could get the guy who wrote the ifart app for iphone to write it for us, about 2000 people a day were buying that at 99 cents a pop in the run up to christmas.
Apple should embarrassed by this.
If anyone knows the solution please post it.

  • Year-at-a-glance view

    I have seen many complaints about this iCal missing a "year-at-a-glance" view option (but why ?).
    Is there a solution now ? an iCal plugin ? a third party calendar ?
    My search on the web was unsuccessful but I have seen the demand for such a tool is huge.

  • Year view in iCal

    Hello, Is there any possibility to have a whole YEAR VIEW in iCal. I need this function and I'have to copy all my entries twice in a spreedsheet that's so boring what is the benefit to have our data in a computer if we cannot display it the way we need? Apple people, please!

    Anybody listening?
    Well, not Apple developers, they don't read these user-to-user forums. Try OS X Feedback

  • Year View for iCal?!

    Hi,
    I work a lot with projects of a few weeks length and I would really like to be able to see these in a year view in iCal. Does anybody now an addon or tool which can do that for me?
    So far I just printed the year, several month per page, and saved it as pdf - which is not ideal!
    I am grateful for any hint!

    Okay, I found out, that holding alt and clicking the arrows in iCal avoids the animation. But that is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a way to use the normal keyboard shortcut cmd  + arrow keys for navigation, but without that time-consuming animation.
    but currently it looks like there is no solution for this problem.
    shame on you apple, for not giving me the option to disable the animation.

  • Multi-month, year, and date-range views

    My apologies for wasting everyone's time if I've missed something really obvious here, but am I correct in concluding that there is no way to generate anything beyond a static one-month view in iCal? No multi-month view? No year view? No "view date range"? At this stage of the game, how is it possible that something so elemental could be omitted from this program?
    At this point I'm reduced to exporting each month to a pdf file and then arranging them as tiles on the screen. But there has to be a better way.
    Short of a new version from Apple, are there any plug-ins that would do this? Does anyone have any other work-arounds? Thanks in advance.

    A quick search of the forums shows that this is a HIGHLY sought after feature (including by me). We all need to use the feed back link (below) to let Apple know this. In my experience with the tech support folks, they seem to have NO idea about what these forums say. In the past I have actually had them log in to these forums and search the issue I was calling them about and they have been blown away when they see the hundreds / thousands of posts with the very same thing they're discussing with me. So, as the wise man says .. "you don't ask, you don't get!" Use the form and let them know...

  • Is there a way to view the ical to do list on the iphone?

    Can you view the ical to do list on the iphone? Thanks

    Where can we send feedback to Apple regarding this? I reckon this should top iPhone 2.1's wish list.
    I can't see any difficulties at all... Even MobileMe works seamless with iCal's To-Do list.
    Palm 3 with 10+ year history realised an PIM device needs a To-Do list, what's wrong with Apple? I really can't see the logic.

  • Weekly "List View" in iCal

    Hello - my family has recently converted to Mac, and my wife and I have been long-time Outlook users in our workplaces...
    Trying to help my wife get her calendar data to iCal - one of the few things that we miss from Outlook is the "Week" view, which shows like Outlook's (7-Day view), which has a large grid of the 7 days in the current week, and all events displayed in a text-based "list" format, and clearly displaying numerical start and end times, rather than the graphical "block" method of iCal's default Week view.
    The Month view on iCal comes close, but it is rather cramped when you want a closer-in look, and also omits end time.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    ecernek,
    There is no event list option on iCal like the one on the iPhone.
    That number means that you have an event invitation. Use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification.

  • Event List view in iCal?

    I would love to have an Event List view in iCal like I do on the calendar on my iPhone. Is there such a thing? The particular reason for wanting it (this time) is that one of the calendars in the ON MY MAC list has a number in a oval to the right.
    I believe this is trying to tell me that there is a new event that I need to do something about. Problem is, I don't know where to find it.

  • Semester view in iCal

    Hello everyone,
    As a new mac user, I'm impressed by how seamlessly everything works on a mac! I've setup iCal and a .mac account and am sharing a calendar with colleagues, but I'd like to know if it's possible to have a semester or annual view in iCal (via a config or plugin or applescript)?
    All the best,
    cecileva

    You can display several months on the left section using the mini-months feature. The number of months is limited by your screen resolution & how much space you allocate to the calendars. Since semesters are intrinsically specific to your school & not universals like months, there isn't a semester-specific view.
    However, the mini-month function won't display any scheduled events like you can in the primary view's day, week & month views. If you think a multi-month view in the primary view would be better, send in feedback to Apple requesting it.

  • Is there a way to create a year at a glance with detail and print?

    Is there a way to create a year at a glance with detail and print?

    To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
    Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
    I wonder what it will be next time?

  • 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.

  • What happened to list view in iCal? Sync broken?

    Since turning on iCloud I can't find list view in iCal. Also, repeated sync with iTunes did not move new events from Mac iCal to iPhone.

    The only way I have found to deal with the calendar is to click the search icon in the corner of the calendar window and you get a list view of each day. It's better than nothing

  • Get time to show in month view of iCal

    How do I get the time to show in the month view of iCal?

    So sorry to not have a solution but I wanted to chime in and say "me, too!". Not only create an event, but I can't edit it in month view, either. I thought it was my entire iCal program, since I just upgraded to Lion today, but after reading your post I realize I can edit events in week mode, just not month mode.
