iCal Icon    Choosing the days and times you see on the calendar
 

You can view events by day, week, or month. You can also change what days and times appear in the main calendar view.

•

To view the day's, week's, or month's events, click the Day, Week, or Month button at the bottom of the iCal window.

•

To change the days of the week or the number of hours that appear in the main calendar view, choose iCal > Preferences, and make your choices from the Week and Day pop-up menus in the General pane. For example, you can choose to only see the hours from 9AM to 5PM on Monday through Friday.

•

To change which months are shown in the mini-month calendar (in the lower-left corner of the iCal window), click the arrows above the mini-month calendar. To see more than one month, drag the mini-month divider (the horizontal gray bar above the diamond) upward.

•

To see events that are earlier or later in the day, use the scroll bar on the right side of the main calendar view.

•

To change the range of time in the main calendar view that is not shaded (representing your "normal" day), choose iCal > Preferences. In the General pane, choose the times you want to appear in white (not shaded) from the "Day starts at" and "Day ends at" pop-up menus. All times outside that range are shaded.

For a list of keyboard shortcuts that allow you to quickly navigate within the main calendar view, click "Tell me more."
