    Hi GraphoPD,

    If your iPad is showing the wrong date, follow the troubleshooting steps below to resolve the issue:

    iOS: Troubleshooting issues with date and time - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203483

    Learn the steps to take if your device has any of the following issues with the date and time.

     
    • Incorrect date or time
    • Wrong time zone being set automatically
    • Issues related to automatically switching with daylight savings time

    Follow these steps. Test after each step to see if the issue is resolved.

    1. Ensure that the version of iOS on your device is up to date.
    2. If the option to enable date and time automatically is available, turn it on. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
    3. Ensure that your time zone is set up correctly. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone.

    If the incorrect date, time, or time zone is being set up automatically on the device, please notify your cellular provider. In the meantime, tap General > Date & Time and turn off Set Automatically. Then set the appropriate time and time zone manually.

    Note: The option to set automatically might not be available on all carriers in all countries.

    Learn more

    Note: If you find that your device's time is incorrect after you sync with your computer, your computer's time may be incorrect. Verify the computer's time in System Preferences > Date & Time (you may want to select the checkbox to set the computer's date and time automatically).

    You might have to scroll all the way to a new month for it to update the name. It has something to do with the scrolling feature in iOS 7-8.

    HI, today is the 15th of  March and in Month View it shows February. The first day that is visible top row on the far right is marked with week number "9" and day 1 on Sunday which is correct.

    BUT if I turn my iPad air 2 from landscape to portrait, then magically it displays March correctly. So I can swap back and forth between the months just turning the ipad.

     

    I wonder if it makes any difference which day you have set to start each week. Here in Europe it would be Monday. In the States I believe you still consider Sunday to be the first day.

     

    can't be a feature!

    When you are scrolling through the months, the name of the month usually changes once the month is showing a little over the halfway point, at least that what happens on my iPad.  Does the name of the month change to May if you scroll up a little past the halfway point?  As far as I know, that's by design.

    Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet?

    this shows  September / October dates, but says.... August?

    Bit if I turn the IPAD on its side........ We see September....  But not consistent behavior with the month titles skipping months either way?

    i fixed mine by going into settings, calendar, then turning on "week numbers". Drove me nuts for years and I just thought to try that, go figure.
