Q: Search in iCal returns dates all in January

Anyone else?  I just ran Search of iCal for past/future medical appts.  Screen Shot 2016-04-06 at 11.28.40 AM.png

 

None (NOT ONE) of these dates is actually in January!!  Why do they all carry a January month notation?  I have noticed this "feature" with other iCal functions, thought I can't right now recall which functions exactly.

 

Thanks!

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), PowerPC apps, internal optical drv

    Planmeister,

     

    Quit Calendar, and go to System Preferences>Language & Region>Region:...and set/re-set your region.

     

    If that is not helpful, I would also try Reindexing Spotlight.

    Sir Ferd!!  You, Sir, are a genius!!  The first step did the job (re-setting Region).  Thank you!

     

    Now you have me curious about why "Spotlight" would need "Reindexing!!!  But since Step 1 fixed my problem, I'll save the latter for another day.

    Okay Plan-guy -- In re: "Reindexing Spotlight," read the notes in the link before asking the question:  Folders and files get re-indexed.  Now THAT makes sense!

    If I can engage in a different topic:  I have delayed (resisted) upgrading to Yosemite (now El Cap).  I still can't get over the surprise of a past upgrade which left me without a working copy of MS Office AND Adobe Photoshop CS2.  Something about Apple dropping Rosetta - which I had not been prepared for.

     

    My question:  It's time to bite the bullet, make the move (from OS X Mavericks [10.9.5]).  Are there any similar loss-of-function surprises lurking in 10.11?  I would at least like to know 'em, before they bite me.

     

    I've been reading reviews, including recent ones of El Cap, but I'm never sure they are prepared to answer this question.

     

    Thanks!

     

    [And if you would like to move this to a more appropriate forum, please do.  Or tell me how.]

    Planmeister,

     

    Post your question in the OS X El Capitan Forum.

     

    It will get more attention and a far better answer than I can provide.

     

    Before you post your question in that forum, RoaringApps is a good place to look for El Capitan application compatibility.

     

    https://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/ contains some of the hardware considerations.
