Gary, I moved to Apple products with the launch of iPhone, it’s taken time, so I have had a lot to learn, but since I found your web site I have learnt more of how to use my products, your site shows how powerful the operating systems are. However the wining feature is your presentation, informative, accurate, to the point, no useless chatter, your articles have made my experience and use of Mac, iPhone,iPad even more enjoyable. A big Thank You!
That's pretty spiffy! I went Mac in 1992 (for my persona; use - windows was for work), and always learning new things from your channel! I bet someone much smarter than I could whip up a Mac Shortcut Ap routine to do this creatively and, say, format the day's meetings/appointments into a PDF and email the day's itinerary to him/herself, and/or staff, etc
The information about calendar is great. Now I know how to keep items on calendar with key phrase'. Then search key phrase and share information in text format to members of that project group. Best Regards, Shirish Balekundri, WaferFAB process specialist. Singapore
Surprised by the lack of a list on Mac b/c I really thought it existed. I checked; can't believe there's a List View in the iPad and iPhone apps but not in the Mac app. There is a list view on Mac kind of...but only in the Calendar widget. Wouldn't be surprised to see List View added as a new feature in future macOS Calendar app. But nice to know there's at least the search work-around. Thanks, Gary.
Thank you! It's insane that in 2024 Apple still haven't given us List View, or let us show start times next to the title of an event, or a number of any other super basic options
Gary - thanks for outlining those features - I'd like to print multiple calendars in list mode but turn of the 'notes' for each calendar event - is this possible>?
No, there's no function for that. I suppose you could create something in Shortcuts with a lot of effort (depending on your skill level) but not sure of WHY you want to do this so it is hard to say if that will be worth it.
You could use this technique to list them and then delete them that way. But is there any reason you need to delete them at all? I don't think I've ever deleted old events. Why?
I'm probably on the wrong video. It used to be so easy to view this month's calendar on the desktop. It was a quick-view of just the month, days and numbers. Is that option still available somehow? I can't seem to find any info on it. I'm not interested in the Calendar app. I just want to see the month with the 30-31 numbers and days. Do I need the Quick View Calendar App for this feature? Very frustrating that I can't seem to find a simple solution for such a common task. Thank you.
I tried it with just one space as my search term. That seems to do the trick as well, since most things have more than one word... What I'd like to do is the same thing but for only ONE of my calendars. (so, omit holidays, astronomy/full moons, etc and just have the FAMILY calendar selected) -- ah, I see the print option will let me do that.
Colors in the calendar are for indicating which calendar the event is a part of. Maybe consider using emoji characters in your event titles, like "🩺 Dr. App" to have it stand out. That's what I do.
Some great little tips and tricks! Thanks. One thing I have wondered about, I seem to end up getting multiple duplications of some events on my calendar and I am not sure how that is happening. Maybe some how when syncing with my phone? I can't tell but it is annoying to get multiple reminders for the same thing because the event got copied three times on my calendar! any ideas what might cause this or how I can easily clear up duplications?
@@macmost I don't believe I have ever used iCloud at all. Is there any easy way to automatically make it remove duplicate events on the same day and time ... or would I have to delete it one by one and then resync? or would that just put them all back if I dont delete from my phone and the computer?
@@glenn_r_frank_author There's no automatic process. Any "easy" way to delete Calendar events would result in the opposite happening -- missing Calendar events. Better to have duplicates than missing ones. Just go through and delete the duplicates. Should only take a few minutes.
aloha Gary thx.. good info but I am looking to add the info in the notes of each event on the monthly view of calendar or need a place to insert messages to be printed out on certain days... to be printed in yearly view .. say I have a note to add to the event and want those sentences to be printed on the calendar day instead of just the 2 or 3 words it allows describing the event . is there a way to make this... event is "dinner night" on Tuesdays but I want the print out to say "dinner night at the club notify attendance on Friday prior" in the description line to fill up the whole box per day on the printed pdf....thx
When you paste you are pasting into the calendar that is active. So you can't copy from multiple calendars and then paste into multiple calendars. Just do it on the same calendar each time.
hey gary, how do you get the purple and green highlighted events in the month view? the stock ones are highlighted, if I add an even and change the color its just a colored dot. thanks
Those aren't highlights. Those are different colors to distinguish different calendars. If you look on the left you'll see the "Work" calendar is purple, the "Personal" calendar is green, etc.
@@miketorre16 No, because those aren't highlights. Color indicates the calendar the event belongs to. What is your goal? Do you want to have some events stand out more than others? Maybe think about using all caps for the title, or include an emoji character in the title.
I've been using Apple calendar like 6-7 years. I must say that almost nothing has changed so far. Apple should pay attention on Reminders & Calendars & Mail apps. Really bored of using same the embedded apps with same specs... There isn't any developments and it's embarrassing.
What features would you like to see? The Reminders app seems to get new features each year. Mail got some new things last year. Calendar is probably held back a bit by the fact it uses an industry standard for calendars and events.
@@canergz I don't know why, sorry. To get around it you can use regular events (start and stop times) instead. Or Reminders. But it would be nice if they offered more time options for full-day events.
