When I make an event with a specified time and location, the location can be seen in the event panel (when in the Week view). However, when I make an ALL-DAY event with a location, the location doesn’t show in the event panel. ie, if I input an all-day event called:

Student-free day – school

All you can see in the Week view is:

Student-free day –

It doesn’t show the location, only the dash that precedes it. Help!

In any calendar view (day, week or month), I can’t see the times of the day, that should appear on the left next to the calendar view – ie 7 am, 8am, 9am, 10 am….. etc. . Any ideas please??
Thanks!

Please help! My iCal seemed to have randomly deleted my calendar. My calendar is no longer in the navigation window, so it’s not simply a matter of just clicking the box next to it to make it show up. Any ideas? Thank you.

I don’t have an answer but a questions for you, you do you make the text bigger, I’ve tried to search “how to” but can’t find anything.

Why can’t I get a clean calendar when adding a new calendar to my list. All I want is a new calendar with nothing on it when adding a new one to my list.

I agree with noname. I’d love to know how to make the numbers bigger! I was searching for an answer to this problem when I found Noname’s post.

I love using iCal. My one issue is that when printing a calendar (I want this to replace my calendar on the wall so I only need one calendar) I can’t see the numbers from a distance. I see how to make the text bigger, but is there anyway to make the dates bigger?

The iCal app is a simple looking calendar which is very deceiving. It is easy to navigate and there are so many sections and features that you may not expect. I have had no problem with syncing and I recommend this calendar for anyone trying to stay organized or grow better organizational skills.

I’m with Vanni. I’d like to receive email notifications. For example, when I need to pay bills I prefer an email reminder instead of just a pop up, which often gets closed by family members and then i don’t see it. But the reminders I have set to email don’t actually email. Any suggestions?

Suky, check out Calaboration(http://code.google.com/p/calaboration/) to get two-way sync between iCal and Goggle Calendar

I love iCal but the fact that I can’t bring my ToDo’s to my iPhone in a smart way is a bit annoying. But I just get started with Things on my iPhone and my desktop and that handle my tasks in a good way and it also syncs well with iCal.

iCal is defiantly great app. but! (there’s always a but:) the main problem that I’ve crossed into lately is that i can’t really sync it with my Google Calendar and share it with others at the same time.

it does sync, but the changes that i make on my iCal doesn’t sync back to my Google Calander.

if anyone know a good way to sync and share the same calender I’ll be more then happy to hear! just tweet me :)

I have not been able to find a solution for the default color of the iCal when it shows the current day/date box. It is a DULL BLUE which is not visible sometimes in some angles! Any Solutions, people? :)
