Wrong date on the Apple calendar for the Kings Coronation.

It's not wrong. The entry is not for the ceremony, as if you have an invite, you'd enter that yourself ;). The entry is for the public holiday associated with the event.

Do you have your hat picked out? ;-)

The answer (as suggested by others) is for it to be worded in a different way - maybe “Coronation Bank Holiday” if they want to keep the word count down.

So, tell Apple:

You can give Apple Feedback about the Calendar app here: Feedback - Calendar - Apple

Thanks for using the Apple Support Community and have a great day!

I get you don't approve of the way Apple chose to handle their calendar. You can let them know for the next time here:

But it IS wrong - the entry simply says “The Coronation of King Charles the III” and that will not happen on the day Apple have added to the calendar (8th). It is not a vauge stayement but an absolute one (which is absolutely wrong). I responded to the question “when is the coronation” by saying Monday, because I foolishly trusted my iPhone.

It is true that it is in the category of public holidays, but then if the actual event was on the Monday that would still be a public holiday so I had no reason to doubt the entry.

I would think calendar entries are a good place for accuracy and pedantry, otherwise a calendar is worse than useless.

The answer (as suggested by others) is for it to be worded in a different way - maybe “Coronation Bank Holiday” if they want to keep the word count down.

You are wrong! It clearly states on the Apple calendar that the coronation date is on Monday the 8th but the coronation is taking place on the Saturday so the calendar is wrong, the Monday is the bank holiday associated with the holiday

thx

If it's a bank holiday, it's a holiday. The event itself is not the holiday.

So, while it may not be the way you would have done it, it's not wrong. And what does it really matter? You obviously know when the event is taking place. It is not a recurring event.

I'm a U.S. citizen so I view it all with amusement/bemusement. But, I do love the hats one sees in pictures of royal weddings in the U.K. (and southern U.S. churches with a primarily black congregation). I admire the folks who can pull them off.

Oh no! Now they'll have to cancel the whole thing! And all because I read the calendar differently from you...

First, they couldn't use the Koh-I-Noor diamond in Camilla's crown and now this. He should just abdicate before it gets worse.

Sort of, but it's not a big deal. But now you mention it I will ask why it is so difficult to see the full path of an item which shows up in Spotlight if it is more than about 60 characters - which happen a lot on my file system... Thanks :-)

As that is a separate problem, you should start a separate thread.

Why? As I often say on here, if the question begins with a why, then only Apple can answer it. If it's a real pain in the horse saddle check out alternative apps to spotlight for searching the spotlight index - perhaps an app like Houdah Spot might help:
