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?

This self-fix works for me!

I checked out a number of other forums and some of the suggested fixes were mind-glowingly complex, however, for me the simplest, and which seems to have worked, is to delete any 'All Day' appointments for 1 April. 

Others have suggested that anything which includes 1 April as an all day activity, including multi-day events, e.g 30 Mar - 2 Apr has the same effect. This seems to work.

Why haven't Apple fixed this?

Share price sentiment (down 30% from the high) suggests analysts are not happy with Apple either.....beware the Tesco effect, your customers are important and are all you've got.

Re: iCal on iPad 2 crashes when selecting March 2013

Apple support tell me that the problem is known, their engineers are working on it and the temporary solution is to deselect the uk holiday calendar, and by implication any other calendar where events on April 1st are all day, and to change any all day events on April 1st on your own calendars to say 0100 to 2300.

It occurs that people might have several day events stretching over 31st March and 1st April which might also need amending.

Conspiracy paranoids might think the original programmer thought, ahah it's April Fools Day in 2013, but I guess it's more likely to be an unintended consequence of the 31st not having enough hours for a 24 hr all day event.

iPad 3 playing a different song then I'm selecting from my playlist

I just loaded up my new iPad 3 and everything seemed fine until I tried to play songs.  The iPad would play the song after the one I selected, even though it tells me it is playing the song I selected.   Rebuilt my music from itunes, reset my settings, turned my iPad off, but still the issue is not fixed.   Anyone else have this issue (and anyone have a resolution???)
