If you don't see or are having trouble finding an event or To Do item, check the following:
• | Make sure there is a checkmark by the calendar (in the Calendars list) that contains that event or To Do item. (To see if a calendar in a calendar group is checked, click the triangle next to the calendar group to open it.) You can only see events and To Do items on checked calendars. |
• | If you see a scroll bar on the right side of the iCal window, drag it up or down to see times on the calendar that aren't visible. |
• | Enter the name (or portion of the name) of the event or To Do item in the search field at the bottom of the window. For more information about using the search field to find events or To Do items, click "Tell me more." |
• | If you're in Month view and you see three dots (an ellipsis) at the top of the day, there is not enough room to show all the events on that day. To see all the events in Day view, double-click the ellipsis. |
• | An event that spans more than one day appears only on the day it starts in Month view. To see the whole event, switch to Week view by clicking the Week button at the bottom of the iCal window. Or, you can make it an all-day event by selecting the "All-day event" checkbox in the Info drawer. |
• | If you don't see your all-day events, make sure Show All Day Events is checked in the View menu. |
• | If you've changed the time zone for a specific event or have changed the iCal time zone (and are viewing all your events in a different time zone than your computer's time zone), make sure you're looking for the event at the correct time. iCal adjusts where the event appears based on the iCal time zone and the event's time zone. To see the iCal time zone, look in the upper-right corner of the iCal window. (If you don't see a time zone pop-up menu, iCal is displaying your events based on your computer's time zone in Date & Time preferences.) |
• | Make sure that your date, time, and time zone are set correctly in Date & Time preferences. (Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Date & Time.) |
