New iCal problem!
Hi
Mac Mini 1st generation, Panther 10.3.9.
I just installed the latest security fix and then iCal started behaving differently from earlier. There are two problems:
Problem 1
--------
When I create a new appointment (or Event as iCal calls it), and I switch to the Month view, I only see the time and not the event itself. For example, if I make an appointment for 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday for a Physio appointment, I only see the 8:30 and not the word "Physio".
I can see everything properly in the Day view or even the Week view. Only the Month view misbehaves.
This was not the case earlier. I used to be able to see everything in the Month view too! In fact, I can still see everything in the Month view for the appointments I made before I installed the security fix. The problem exists only for any calendar entries I made after the security fix.
Has anyone else had this happen?
And yes, I repaired permissions and I even restarted the machine.
I thought it might have something to do with iCal preferences, but I could not find anything that looked like it was related to this.
Problem 2
--------
I subscribe to the F1 (Formula 1 racing) calendar from Apple's website. The calendar does not display in iCal! I subscribe to a few other calendars (Canadian Holidays, US Holidays etc.), they all display properly, it is only the F1 calendar that seems to have this problem.
I even downloaded the calendar and double-clicked on it, I tried to refresh the calendar, I even deleted the calendar and subscribed to it fresh, nothing works.
Any ideas on how I can get this to work?
Thanks and cheers

The problem with F1 and several others from the apple site is that they have not been updated. Resubscribe to F1 and you will find all dates of 2005 filled in. You might shot a feedback to apple to update that ical calendar.

Re, problem 2, thanks. I shall shoot off a note to Apple and hope they will update the calendar
Thanks and cheers

did you try deleting icals preferences ? usually located in /Users/<Username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
maybe the plist got corrupted somehow. aside from that i don't know what could be the cause.
Oddly enough, as I mentioned earlier, this problem only occurs for eventrs created AFTER installing the security update. Events created before the security update show both the time and the event. Weird huh!
