How To Show Holidays In The Calendar App For Mac

Q. When I search for old events on my Mac in Sierra’s Calendar app, it doesn’t show anything older than about two years. What’s going on here?

You don't want to buy and apps or need any additional installation on Mac. You can download the iCal of your country holiday and start to. Gta v save editor for mac windows 10.

A. That’s a glitch in Apple’s new macOS Sierra, also known as version 10.12, and we seem to have been the first to bring it to the attention of the company’s developers. (You’re welcome.)

The behavior in question happens when you type a search into the Calendar app for an event that happened more than two years ago: You won’t see it. For example, the CES electronics gathering has been on my schedule every year since 1998 —something one could regard as a cry for help — but in Sierra, Calendar only shows the 2015 and 2016 shows.

This happens whether you have your calendars saved on your Mac or synced from a service like Google. But as a post in Apple’s tech-support forum noted, if you try the same search in Sierra’s Spotlight search, you’ll see those older items — but with much less detail visible, and mixed into a list of results from every other app on your Mac.

My query to Apple PR yielded an explanation that Sierra’s version of this app, intentionally or not, had picked up on the way Calendar has treated recurring events in searches. Going back to at least last year’s El Capitan release, this program would only show the last two and the next two years’ instances of a repeating event.

That makes sense for recurring appointments — who needs to see that you have New Year’s Day on your schedule from now until the end of time? But for separate appointments that have the same title, it’s less than helpful.

Apple says it will fix this in an upcoming update to Sierra, although it’s too soon to say how soon. The first patch for Sierra is already in a fourth round of beta testing, so I would not expect this fix to ship with that upcoming “10.12.1” release.

Meanwhile, don’t forget that you have alternatives to Apple’s software. Most cost money, but since the operating system itself is free, you shouldn’t make that a sticking point. Among Calendar alternatives, Flexibits’ $40 Fantastical seems particularly well-liked: Macworld’s Glenn Fleishman gave it 4.5 stars out of five in his review, and iMore’s Lory Gil gave it the top ranking in an August roundup of calendar apps.

You could also use Google Calendar in a Web browser, but staying on top of your schedule when you’re offline won’t be too satisfying.

Using a third-party calendar app makes even more sense in Windows 10, where Microsoft’s built-in Calendar app somehow offers zero support for time zones. That invites chaotic scheduling once you fly too far east or west. The best-liked alternative in the Windows Store appears to be a free app called OneCalendar — but that, too, doesn’t support time zones. If you’ve got a replacement in mind that will let me put different events in different time zones, please submit your nomination in the comments.

There’s an odd little problem with the macOS Calendar app that I’ve run into a number of times, both personally and during my years as a Mac consultant. Sometimes an event will be duplicated over and over, often filling a day on the calendar with copies of the same exact event. There’s a way to fix that problem once and for all…

Radmin viewer for mac. The development of Mac version was not started yet. However, you can try running Radmin Viewer under Virtual PC or other Windows emulator for Mac. Radmin has 30-day trial period, so you won't need to buy it to test is you would be able to run Radmin under Windows emulator for Mac. Best regards, Ilia Demenkov. This list of alternatives to Radmin for Mac will help you find many similar applications that will provide you with all the functions to access your computer remotely and use it the same way you would with Radmin. All these programs are secure, easy-to-use, and provide you with the tools to control your machine.

Before we delve into the fix, let’s talk about some of the situations that seem to cause this issue. In my case, I use both iCloud-synced calendars and Google calendars. Some of these duplicates come from those Apple special calendars that you can subscribe to — U.S. Holidays, Birthdays, and Found in Mail. Most of the time, the duplicates will only appear in one or two calendars, and only on one device. For one of my clients a few years ago, the problem only happened on his MacBook Air, not on the iMac he had in his office nor on his iPhone.

One of the most frustrating things about this issue is that deleting those extra events never helped. They’d be gone for a few minutes, but would quickly start showing up again. I’d even try things like force-quitting Calendar and then restarting the Mac or deleting and then re-adding the calendar accounts, but none of those worked for long.

After digging through the Apple Support Communities for a while, I finally came upon a solution that worked. Here’s what you need to do:

1) Delete all calendar accounts from Calendar and macOS. Go to Calendar > Preferences > Accounts, click on each account in turn, and click the minus sign ( – ) to remove each calendar (see image below):

2) Quit the Calendar app (Command-Q or Calendar > Quit Calendar from the menu bar).

3) Open a terminal window, then delete all calendars and Calendar preferences. If you’re not comfortable with the terminal app, find a friend who has the necessary knowledge and ask them to do it for you.

4) Quit terminal.

5) Launch Calendar

6) Add your accounts back to Calendar. This is done by opening Preferences > Accounts, clicking the plus sign button, clicking on the calendar provider (iCloud, Exchange, Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Aol or other CalDAV account), then adding the appropriate account and password information.

7) Uncheck (hide) additional calendars from the Delegation tab. This ensures that only the primary calendar that you’ve added is viewable, not other calendars to which you may have been added (see image below):

8) Allow the download and sync of your cloud-stored calendar events to finish, and you’re done.

So what causes the duplicates? Google changed the way it supported CalDAV (Calendar Extensions to Distributed Authoring and Versioning) and multiple calendars a few years ago, and it’s thought that Calendar didn’t exactly work well with that new process. Through the various versions of Mac OS X and now macOS that have been released since that time, the issue still shows up on occasion.
