Alright – the image isn’t exactly showing the issue I had but – here’s roughly what I’m talking about. See the dots in the month view? Imagine if you had them everyday for months, no matter if you had an appointment that day or not. Sucks right?
Well, you folks did’t know it yet – but I just bought a Blackbook the other day, and finally got around to syncing my iPhone with it. Turns out (and I don’t know who to blame on this one) but somehow between iCal, Google Calendar, and Spanning Sync all my "All Day" appointments had become all day starting on the correct day and ending on the previous day. So basically every all day entry I had in my calendar was an "illiegal" entry.
So the problem is: You have dots on every day of the month, no matter if you have an appointment or not.
The solution is painful: You need to go back until when the dots start appearing – for me it was September of 2007 – and check every calendar entry for appointments that have an end time BEFORE the start time. For example:
Soccer Practice; Starts 3/23/08 5:00pm; Ends 3/22/08 4:00pm. The events CANNOT end before they start.
In my case I ended up changing about 50 calendar entries. Thankfully it didn’t take too long once I figured out what had happened.
