Missing Calendar "Dot" on days with events.

I had the same issue. I called apple support and got it working. Basically, the issue is that the calendar is not refreshing. It's a weird fix, but this is what you do:

1) Open the Calendar app on hold your phone vertically.

2) On the bottom you will see List, Day, and Month views. Click on list view and scroll through your events a year into the past then randomly into the future (I know this step is strange). While in list view open an event in the past or future.

3) Now click on Day to briefly look at day view without doing anything.

4) Finally click on Month to look at Monthly view.

You should see the dots again. If it doesn't work, repeat the steps a few more times.

Please let me know if this worked for you; it somehow got it working for me. If you did something different and got it working, please post. NOTE, apple support did not suggest this to me, I was just playing around with the calendar while she was trying to help and just got it working randomly.

I found that in the monthly calendar view with info below does not show dots. If you go,back to just month then it does

The missing dots was the first thing I noticed and I do have them back now

Fantastic - worked for me. Thank you

I followed the directions but when I hold my phone vertically it does not show the same things at the bottom. Mine shows "today - calendars - inbox".

I have an iPhone 6s and at the bottom of the calendar it doesn't show "List, Day & Month" it only shows "Today, Calendars & Inbox". Anyone know how to make the dots appear with my phone?

I have an iPhone 7 with this exact issue. Hopefully we will get some info

Me too did you get it fixed yet

Hi. In iOS 11, the Day Week Month Year options are at the top.

Didn’t work. Doesn’t show day, month, year views to pick from

Now they’re back! Not sure what I did - had already tried reboot. Views still not available :-(

I tried these steps exactly many times but didn't fix the problem:

Open the app, go to list view, scroll to past as far as it could go, then past the current date, click on an event in the future, go back to normal default view, click day view for 2 seconds and back to monthly view and nothing happened.

Am I doing it right or is it not a fix for everyone? Thanks

I trashed all my cache and data base files. MAKE BACK UPS. On Leopard so may vary for Lion etc.

Back up Iphone calendars to iCloud

Export iCal calenders to desktop

Shut down iCal

Back up and trash

Library > Calenders > Any numerical based folders and the Calendar Cache

Library > Preferences > iCal Plist files

Library > Application Support > Sync Services > Local

Clear trash

Your iphone should still have all your calendars, with Back Up to iCloud checked and in the Info tab in itunes select Sync Calendars

> Apply > Sync Button

You might have to manually import your exported calendars back into iCal, but your dots should be back

If your phone gets an error message and will not sync, eject iphone temorarily.

Find your backed up LOCAL file and replace in Library > Application Support > Sync Services > Local

Remove new LOCAL file if your mac has created a new one. Once you replace it with the old one it will alow you to delete from the trash

Reconnect your iphone

In itunes > Info tab Sync Calendars > All Calendars

Apply > Sync

You may be prompted to advise because it is going to change a percentage of info on you mac > say yes

Your Calendars should now reappear on your computer.

I did try to re-import my exported calendars. I had the same problem all over again, so it seems that there was some corruption contained in the old calender .ics files. I had to start the whole process again. Trick is to keep your data in icloud and your phone. You are essentially repairing and replacing you iCal using your phone and iCloud. It is your computer files .ics files that are corrupt and need new ones making.

Hope that helps
