Alright - the image isn’t exactly showing the issue I had but - here’s roughly what I’m talking about. See the dots in the month view? Imagine if you had them everyday for months, no matter if you had an appointment that day or not. Sucks right?
Well, you folks did’t know it yet - but I just bought a Blackbook the other day, and finally got around to syncing my iPhone with it. Turns out (and I don’t know who to blame on this one) but somehow between iCal, Google Calendar, and Spanning Sync all my "All Day" appointments had become all day starting on the correct day and ending on the previous day. So basically every all day entry I had in my calendar was an "illiegal" entry.
So the problem is: You have dots on every day of the month, no matter if you have an appointment or not.
The solution is painful: You need to go back until when the dots start appearing - for me it was September of 2007 - and check every calendar entry for appointments that have an end time BEFORE the start time. For example:
Soccer Practice; Starts 3/23/08 5:00pm; Ends 3/22/08 4:00pm. The events CANNOT end before they start.
In my case I ended up changing about 50 calendar entries. Thankfully it didn’t take too long once I figured out what had happened.

Ohhh I DEFINITELY feel you on this one. Somewhere along the way my TyTN decided to duplicate a huge number of birthdays so that all my friends and family were born several times a year, with each birthday just one day apart — some of them starting and ending at 11 PM. Good grief!!!
It turns out some of it was due to DST, the OTHER bit of it was stupid Windows Live. The way they sync the contacts on your PDA and “merge” Live and Outlook contacts…merge? Yeah, right.

Dear god. I completely forgot I’d read this tip here. I went to the Mac forums trying to solve this…meanwhile the solution is on the blog I write for…on a post I’ve commented on.
Somebody demote me or something.
