iCal Dock Icon Jumbled Month

digiglyphics · 09-23-2003, 10:26 AM

Anyone ever notice how the iCal icon reads JUL 17? The icon seems to attempt to change to the current date once the application is launched. Problem is whenever it launches the day is correct but the month is jumbled. Instead of SEPT 23 I get YKV 23.

This not a big deal and doesn't seem to affect anything, but I was still wondering if there was a way to fix change this.

Has anyone else observed this?

Thanks.

No i don't get that. it will say the right date whenever it is launch, otherwise it says July 17th.

I ran this tip yesterday to flush system cache:

and for the first time I have a date correct icon.

I have two machines in two geographically different offices (that have never talked to each other) that have had this problem (or should I say oddity) ever since I installed iCal.

I'll run this on my other machine later to confirm that it was the fix.

Thanks to anyone who read or thought about this one.
