Many thanks for the fix Dave, I had Easter Monday in my iCalendar on the first of April so I deleted it and presto I can now access March 2013 without iCal crashing out! I wonder if it was an April Fools joke by an Apple programmer!
THANKS A LOT ! Had just the same and couldn’t find why! Long live internet ! Cheers, Luca
Thank you. disabling the birthday calendar containing a birthday for april first did the trick….. so why can apple not fix the glitch?!
Many thanks – I deleted my all-day event on 1 Apr and voila, March was back. I’m not expecting Apple to apologise,
Hi Dave,
impressivly analysed,
have you filed a bug report at apple?
Cheers,
Gerhard
Gerhard,
Thanks for the feedback and reminder to report it. Bug reference is 12622898, although I don’t think there is a way for others to view this.
Thanks for the help. I had to delete all events for April 1st. Now works as it should. Hope Apple fix it with update 6.1.0
I got same problem but I have nothing set on the first of April 2013. Just updated last night to 6.0.1 but I guess it did not fix it.
Dont’ forget to check for birthdays. Try viewing 1st April in week view to determine what events you have set.
i noticed this about six months ago, showed them in apple store and emailed apple, they didnt reply
I just got a notification from Apple’s Bug Tracker that they’ve merged my report with an existing one, so they are obviously aware of it. Trouble is, you can’t view status or progress on someone else’s bug report, so no idea what’s actually happening with it.
Thanks so much this has been bugging me for ages !!!
Thank you for reporting this and the workaround. Indeed I have my niece’s birthday in the Birthdays calendar for 1st April, and the IPad calendar app crashed when selecting March. Disabling the Birthdays calendar has fixed the problem for the time being.
I have to say I’m very unimpressed with Apple. This is a very important bug not being able to access my March calendar!
Thanks again for your efforts on this!
Cheers
James
Brilliant, thank you so much. This has been driving me crazy. Fixed it straight away!
Birthday Calendar not the cause for me. I had to delete a daily recurring event in another iCloud calendar that spanned 1st of April. Thanks for the clue. Nothing in Apple Support that I have found. Thank goodness for users fora!
My mistake – there is a partly helpful but inconclusive thread at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3868317?start=0&tstart=0
Problem something to do with April 1st being a Bank Holiday Monday in UK. Possibly
I had subscribed to a UK holiday calendar which had ‘April Fools Day’ entered for April 1st. Simply not displaying the subscribed calendar allowed access to March 2013 again!
Thanks for the tip!
Same problem, crashed when March 2013 month view selected. deleted event on April 1st, all then ok. Reloaded event on April 1st, all still ok. Well done everybody.
Well done Dave, this has been driving me nuts today. I deleted a reoccuring All day holiday for the week commencing 1st April. All fine now.
Cheers
I have iOS 6.0.1, still having the same problem. If you’ll need to have all day event, just make one from 0:00 to 23:59 without choosing all day event and it won’t crash anymore
Thanks for this……. Solved the problem on my iPad mini!
Have the same problem.apple have never solved any of my problems.not intested just wanted the £550 I paid for my ipad 4 64gb.and £400 for my 16gb. Paid is a anagram for ipad.
Thank you so much for this, this is perfect and has totally fixed my problem!
With best regards,
Caroline
Glad I found this. Amazing my Apple store knew nothing about this issue! I tried hard reset but this didn’t resolve the issue and they only suggested resetting my iPad to factory setting to resolve it. After reading this I found that just deleting my entry for April 1st it was solved.
Same problem with my iPad, fixed thanks to you! Much appreciated. Apple are pathetic – just fix the problem!,
But I do not want to unsubscribe to a calendar that provides a lot of important data for me just to get round this problem so how can I fix the issue. I have emailed the calendar provider to see if they can change the event that occurs on April 1st to a time rather than all day event but have not yet heard back from them. I however think this is an apple issue and not theirs to solve
You don’t need to unsubscribe, just deselect the calendar from showing if you want to view in month view. Obviously you won’t see that calendars events, but t least you can see the others. The fix is down to Apple, but so far it looks like they aren’t providing a fix.
Top man!!! I don’t know how you figured it out, but thank you!! my offending item was the Easter all day event!! Initially I thought it may have been a memory available problem, so I deleted 100+ pics before I found your posting, wish I found this first!!
