You can change the color in the "Settings" and then "Select calendars to display". Tap on the color button of the desired calendar. The color of all events from this calendar will be changed. If you have assigned a custom color to a specific event, it won´t be changed.
You can change or delete a birthday by changing or deleting it within the contact App of your iPhone.
You can change the default calender in the settings of miCal. The sections "CREATE EVENTS" offers the option "Default calendar".
To make the weather forecast work, you have to activate location services. Please check at the iPhone settings, if location services are enabled globally as well as for miCal ("Privacy -> Location Services").
You can change or delete a birthday by changing or deleting it within the Contacts App of your iPhone.
Certainly, you can always simply create birthdays as a yearly recurrent event. On the contrary, if you like to use all the birthday features of miCal, you simply have to assign it to a contact - because miCal's birthday calendar is automatically created from the iOS. All the other features of miCal rely afterwards on informations from your phone's contacts. Because contacts are easy to manage in iOS, that should be no big deal. Maybe you like to call or email some of the new contacts anyways one day?
A long tap on the current calendar view (day, week, month, year) will create a new event at the time/date you selectd by tapping.
To do that, go to the detail view (not the edit view) of an event and tap the buttons "Copy" or "Move".
Tap on the headline of a view (where the year, month, week or day is displayed) and select the date to go to.
Tap on the headline of a view (where the year, month, week or day is displayed) and tap "Done" to jump to the current date.
Please take a look at the settings of your global time zone. Go to "mail, contacts, calendar"->"time zone support" and check if it matches with your current time zone or check the time zone in the miCal settings.
An event can be repeated for e.g. every second week:
- Set up a new event
- Set up starting and ending time
- Choose "repetition"
- Choose then in "repetition" "biweekly"
- Choose in "end of repetition" either the number of your repetitions or the date of the last repitition if applicable
- Set up a new event
- Set up starting and ending time
- Choose "repetition"
- Choose "Custom"
- Choose the weekday in "Repeat on"
The operating system might have put a write-protection to particular events. Please check if the write-protection is activated in the standard iPhone calendar. Maybe the iOS/your account sync doesn´t work properly. You may possibly have to reset it (please be careful because of data loss)
Unfortunately, this is not possible due to technical reasons. The iPhone calendar can´t pass this data on while synchronizing.

"Standby off" "Off" => Everything works as before. After a certain time, the iPhone slips into the standby mode. "Standby off" "On" => The iPhone screen is always active. It doesn´t go into the standby mode.
Reminder functions of miCal are based on the reminder functions of iOS. That's why, unfortunately, the reminder sounds can't be changed due to technical reasons.
If this is activated, the days will change their sorting order in the week view:
Left: Mo, Tu, We, Th
Right: Fr, Sa, Su
If you happened to work with, for example, iCal so far, you'd have had only the possibility to create events with an accuracy of 5 minutes. In miCal, you can set it up to 1 minute precise or stick to the 5 minutes, just as you like.

Outlook problems:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1692
A common source of problems for the outloook sync is: Outlook has some problems with syncing events with a 0 minutes reminder. Please select all this events from Outlook and change or remove the reminder. More Infos:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4003390?start=15&tstart=0
First, please check if the native iOS calendar app from Apple (iOS calendar) shows past events.
If they aren't visible, please check the following setting: global settings->"Mail, Contacts, Calendar"->"Sync" (at the bottom of the screen)
If you synchronize your device via USB and iTunes with e.g. Outlook on your computer, connect your device with your computer and start iTunes. In the left column select your device. In the right column go to "Info" and scroll down to the section "Calendar". Check if there's a checkmark before the option "Do not synchronize events older than ... days".
If the iOS calendar doesn't show past events even though you changed the mentioned settings above you have to contact Apple's support team. miCal works on top of the iOS calendar and therefore can only display what the iOS calendar shows.
At last, please check the miCal setting "Load prev. months". miCal loads by default the last 2 month and can load a maximum of 12 or 48 months (depending on the device) backward.
You can change the default calender in the settings of miCal. The sections "CREATE EVENTS" offers the option "Default calendar".
A direct synchronization between devices running miCal isn't possible. You have to use an external calendar service, e.g. Google, MobileMe etc, or synchronize all of your devices with your PC/Mac to keep the events in sync.
Please restart miCal. Here's how to do it:
- Double-tap on the home button
- Search for the miCal symbol
- Press and hold the miCal symbol for some time, until a red minus appears.
- Tap the minus to completely end miCal.
First, you have to release the calendar for synchronization.
If you like to release it with Exchange
- Visit with the Safari Browser of your iPhone m.google.com/sync
- Ignore the statement "Google Sync is not supported on your iPhone"
- tap "Change language" and select "English (UK)" or "English (US)"
- Login with your Google account (if not happened yet)
- Set up the calendar for synchronization.
For the installation via CalDAV or Gmail account:https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect
Then, start the iPhone calendar and check the calendars.
At last, restart miCal.
miCal supports every calendar that can be used with the iPhone calendar.
miCal synchronizes only with the iPhone calendar. Every event you add to miCal is displayed within the iPhone calendar and vice versa.
To do that, you have to set up the Google calendar on the iPhone.

The problem is caused by an calendar subscription like a holiday calendar. Remove the subscription to get rid of this message.
How to remove a calendar subscription:
Due to technical reasons it can only be removed from the global settings of your device (grey gear symbol on your home screen). Open the global settings and:
- iOS 12 and earlier: "Mail, contacts, calendar" -> Calendar subscriptions
- iOS 13: "Passwords & Accounts" -> Calendar subscriptions
- iOS 14: "Calendar" -> "Accounts" -> Calendar subscriptions
Please restart miCal. You can do that as followed:
- Double-tap on the home button
- Search for the miCal symbol
- Press and hold the miCal symbol for some time, until a red minus appears.
- tap the minus to completely end miCal.

It´s very likely that you have a Google mail account (also, some Exchange server have this restriction). Unfortunately, Google doesn´t send calendar invitations (so-called ICS files) for unknown security reasons. Instead, their mail server "swallows" the emails completely and simulates to the operating system and thereby also to miCal that the email has been sent. Actually, it doesn´t send them and therefore even doesn´t drop them to the "sent" folder. We can´t do nothing throughout the miCal App to fix this. You´d have to write to Google or contact the mail server admin, if any.
You might also try and check this by simply copying the email you send when sending an event in the email App into a new email. The email won´t get there (if the file attachment was copied correctly).
This is really no good, but unfortunately we can´t do nothing about.
miCal supports a URL scheme since version 7.5. You can use it for automation with the Launch Center Pro App.
