Q: iCal on iPad 2 crashes when selecting March 2013

Hi,

 

I have got a very strange problem with iCal on my iPad 2 Wi-Fi. When selecting March 2013 it instantly crashes iCal, after which I am returned to the springboard. When relaunching iCal it starts with either February 2013 or April 2013 selected. The crashing does not occur in 2012 or 2014, so March 2013 is the only occurance of the crashing found so far.

 

What have I tried to do to solve the problem:

  • Restart iPad.
  • Force Quit iCal and all other applications.
  • Restart iPad again.

 

Problem still occured.

 

  • Disable Calendar syncing from my Google Account.

 

Problem was gone, iCal was completely empty and working fine.

 

  • Enable Calendar syncing, but uncheck all calendars in iCal resulting in empty calendar rendered on screen.

 

Problem still gone.

 

  • Enabling a single calendar.

 

Crashing occured again.

 

My conclusion was that one of my appointments in Google Calendar must contain something that was making iCal crash. However, of the 5 calendars I am syncing with the iPad none of them could be shown without iCal crashing in March 2013. Even public calendars I am subscribed to like official holidays make iCal crash. If something is indeed wrong with an appointment, I would have expected to be able to display the other 4 calendars without problems.

 

I am syncing the exact same calendars with my iPhone 4 and my iMac, and on both devices no crashing occurs.

 

Is there anything I can do to extract some more information from my iPad to find out exactly why iCal is crashing?

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 5.1

    This is interesting, because on my iPad the problem is gone. It certainly was there a couple of days ago, but not anymore. I have done no changes to my calendar, so the all-day events are still there on 1 April.

    OK. Just spoken to engineer and he was NOT aware of the problem.  He is going to feed back the information and I have already raised a Feeback report on the apple web site in accordance with his instructions.

    The telephone Case No: 382586964.

    Thats the best I can do at the moment - lets see what materialises - if anything!

    Sorry to say I have this very same problem on my lovely new ipad 3.  It was quite a shock when I was going through next years events to find ipad crashing on March 2013.  I read through this thread and moved my 1st April birthday to 31st March and deleted the other all day events - hey presto - back comes monthly view for March 2013.  Terrible issue that Apple should have addresed months ago.  I agree with others ... "Apple - shame on you!"

    Hi

     

    I have the same problem on my ipad1 : marc 2013 crahes ical.

    It doesn't crash my wife's ipad.

    The difference between those 2 ipads : my wife doesn't use the 'public holiday' calendar.

     

    To access march 2013 on my ipad : i had to open ical in a 'week' or 'day' size, insted of month.

     

    To avoid crashing, I had to disable all the public holidays. Not very convenient, but t least, I can access my rede vous.

    Well the problem exists on, entries on April 1st causes calendar crash not only in month view,

    but on any calendar search operation too !

    Apple should have enough user feedback meanwhile to get active in that issue...

    Google has fixed missing December quickly, I hope Apple will do so regarding that April 1st issue here causing calendar crash on month view attempt of March as well as any search operation in calendar!

    Wow, am I glad I found this thread!

     

    Exactly the same problem here, I was subscribed to 'UK Holidays' calendar from icalshare.com and with this calendar enabled my iPad calendar crashes if I try to view March 2013 in Month view. All other views for March 2013 work fine and if I disable the subscribed calendar I can view March 2013 in Month view with no problems.

     

    As a workaround I've simply deleted the subscribed calendar but this is far from ideal for me.

     

    Well Apple, you have got 2 months to get this fixed before we reach the dreaded March 2013!!!

    Hi Dorian

    Thanks for post. Sadly this doesn't work if you subscribe to, say national holidays calendar, which make the calendar more useful - you can't change someone else's timings. Even when you can ( and I did manage to do this once) it eventually changes back to an all day event.

     

    I think that this was suggested several comments ago and far too many ago for apple to find this situation acceptable. But then I think standards are slipping - forget maps, have you seen what they have done to podcasts?

    I still have the same probem it seems a Apple 1th April 2013 joke, the problem gets solved when you remove all events on 1th April and deactivate the subsribed calendar (if there is an event adde such as an public holiday), afterwards I was able to open the March 2013, but it is really ridiculous that Apples calendar has such a probem !!!
