How To View Only Upcoming or Active Appointments In Mac OS X Lion's Calendar Application Hello Everyone, One of my favorite features in Microsoft Outlook is the ability to view only upcoming (active) appointments in the calendar. Apparently, Apple does not think I need this feature in the latest version of iCal. (grimace) While there are certainly some very fine third-party applications that will allow me to see only upcoming appointments, I am of the opinion that less is better; therefore, I resist installing such applications unless absolutely necessary. Besides, there is no guaranty that said third-party applications, for which I may have to pay a premium, will be VoiceOver (Apple's software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision) accessible. Enter the Mac OS X Lion Dashboard of which I am growing quite fond, and all its marvelous, and for the most part free, widgets. It is with such a widget that we can view only upcoming or active appointments. Oh, keep in mind that iCal refers to appointments as events. Let's get started. 1. <http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/18085/ical-events> Download and install a free Mac OS Dashboard widget called iCal Events. Its description is as follows: iCal Events... Face the day! Always know what's next on your schedule using iCal Events. iCal Events displays upcoming events from multiple iCal calendars in a beautiful, resizable widget for Dashboard. You can see up to two weeks of upcoming events in the same widget without needing to open iCal. 2. After installing the widget, I suggest that you close the web browser used to download the widget. 3. Now go to the Dashboard and see the widget in action. I suggest using the key combination [Option+LeftArrow] to quickly jump to the Dashboard. Please note that you can change the number of days shown in the widget by clicking on the Info button.
