yet stupidly...
Authored by: sinjin on Sep 12, '02 01:36:50PM

it doesn't update the date until you quit the program and restart. So after a couple of days of using it my iCal still thinks it is Sept 10. It also chooses the wrong "current" day within the program until you choose "go to today" from the calendar menu.

Me thinks this is a tad sloppy.

A better suggestion

If you want to see the current date (and time) in the dock then you should add the Clock Application to your Login items. You can view a digital or analog clock. The Digital Clock displays the current date and time.

Works for me

On my system, the date on iCal changes to current date the moment I launch it.

That is exactly the point: When you launch it. Like many people (and according to the Apple manual), I leave my machine on 24/7, only putting it in sleep mode when I do not use it.
I do not quit programs like mail, or would not like to quit iCal. But it seems I have to in order to get the date right :(

date updates here

I saw the "iCal icon does not update at midnight" bug in the KnowledgeBase, but for some reason, my iCal does update overnight, changing to the correct date...
