ios 8 calendar list view

Hi ezra-td,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

In this situation I would recommend closing the Calendar application from the multitasking window and then restarting the iPhone. After the restart, try to view your Calendar list view again.

iOS: Force an app to close

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Have a great day,

Joe

Just as an FYI --- I am able to view my calendar items as a list.

What happens when you tap on the list view? Anything at all? Have you tried going to the month view and hitting the list? Does it show you just that one day's list?

The only list you get now is the daily list below each selected day. You no longer have the list view only option anymore.

Try resetting the phone. Home + Sleep buttons held down at the same time. Wait for Apple logo to appear. Wait for phone to reboot.

If this doesn't help, try a Reset All Settings reset Settings => General => Reset => Reset All Settings. This puts all settings back to factory defaults. Yes you have to go back in and turn everything on or off that you had done before, but it is faster than doing a restore in iTunes.

This is not correct. If you are in Calendar and select an individual day view and then tap on the icon to the left of the magnifying glass, you can scroll through your entire list of appointments.

The list-only view in Calendar is still available, but getting to it is different in iOS 8.

From the scrolling month view (where you have a continuous view of calendar months where each week is a row), tap on any day (the number) to bring up the list-only view. You'll see a scrollable list of calendar entries, and the icon to the left of the search button at the top will have changed to look like a list. Tap that icon and you'll get a graphical day view of appointments. Tap it again to return to the list-only.

If you're in the scrolling month view and you tap the icon to the left of the search button, you'll switch to a combination of month-and-day's appointments.

I found this very confusing at first, but it's not any more difficult than the old way (once you get used to it).

Actually that changed in iOS7.

I don't remember having trouble navigating in iOS 7 like I am in 8, but perhaps that's because I don't use Calendar (I use Fantastical). Sorry for the confusion!

Regardless, I think we're talking at cross-purposes. I consider Calendar to have two "day views"; one with a month visible on top and one with a week visible on top. The behavior of the button to the left of the search is very different in these two views, but tapping it should do something.

If nothing happens when that button is tapped, then there's a bigger problem.

Restarting the phone didn't help, but possibly resetting will:

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

I doubt that will fix it, as it sounds like the app is screwed up. But it's a quick thing to try.

The day view that I am referring to is the one that shows the appointments for the days, as illustrated by the screenshot that I provided. That is the one that you tap on the icon I have circled and find the listing. The only other view is the view of the month, and that is a totally different looking icon. That one will then only give you a list for the day highlighted. That view is this one here.

Unfortunately, the first screenshot you provided doesn't appear for me (it's a broken image).

Here are screenshots I took. The first is the "month" view. Note that the icon to the left of the search button is toggled off (left) and on (right).

And this is the "week" view, showing that toggling between these gives the full list that ezra-td asked about.

I find it a bit tricky to remember how to get into the second view.

You are showing it all correctly. The month view that you show first will show the list of the particular day selected. Then the 3rd view you show is the first one that I showed, and getting to that list view will then let you scroll through all of your events.
