Works ok on mine, which is synced via iCloud.


Have you tried closing the Calendar app completely and seeing if you can view March 2013 when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Calendar 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Calendar app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.


If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

This is clearly a bug. My wife gets exactly the same problem. Month view of Mar 2013 crashes the app. Year, Day and Week views seem OK. Turn off synch to Exchange mail account - problem goes. Turn synch back on - problem returns. No amount of cancelling multitasking apps and hard resetting makes any difference. No problem on iPhone 4.


Looking at the growing amount of feedback on this it's about time it was taken more seriously by Apple. If you are having similar problems please help by posting. The more evidence presented the less risk of being brushed off

I get the same - Month view (only) of March 2013 causes tha app to terminate immediately. This happens on my iPad when my Exchange calendar is visible, and on my wife's iPad when my Google calendar (which is synchronised to my Exchange calendar) is visible. However, I don't have any events in this calendar except for a test event that I added using the web interface while investigating this problem - so I don't know what is upsetting the iPads about it.


All other calendar views of March 2013 work fine - it is only the month view that causes the calendar app to terminate.

Thanks so much Big Al - your suggestion fixed the bug instantly!



To 'Larry from VA':


Thanks so much for your helpful contribution. By the same 'reasoning':


I have met someone called 'Larry', but I have never met you. Therefore I don't believe you exist.


Perhaps think before you write? Although I understand that your rationale is something of a 'tradition' on Mac support forums?!



Thanks again, Al!

Thanks for the "Sarcastic" response. I have appointments scheduled for 1 April 2013 yet the app does not crash for me and I can see all further appointments. If it were a software bug and since I'm running the same IOS on a 64GB iPad 3 I should have the same issue. Saying that makes me "believe" it is not a bug but obviously I couldn't say it definitively either. Keep the mud slinging to yourself in the future.....
