The date will be updated live only while iCal is open. If you open, then quit it, it should show today's date.

yea, its a lovely "feature" of iCal that everyone has been complaining to Apple about since iCal's inception. We're all still awaiting a fix.
Until then, you can only update it if you open ical.

That's ridiculous. They should have added that a LONG time ago...Don't you all think?

Mine shows the correct date only while iCal is running.
If I quit iCal, it goes back to JUL 17.

Too many Apple/Mac products to even bother listing!

Here as well, used to work in Panther though. Now you have to leave it running.

Set iCal to startup when you boot your machine as a startup item, and you can set iCal to hide if you don't want your calendar window showing.

That is not the point. In Panther, iCal remembered the date in its Dock icon, even after you quit iCal.
Not anymore in Tiger, appearently.

I'm running Panther, that's what I have to do to get the date to show properly. It doesn't show the date properly until after you opened iCal. I see what you're saying though, I seem to remember that iCal did that in Tiger - reverted back to the default date.

Most people went from Jaguar to Panther to Tiger, you seem to do the opposite

That's they way I do it. Still kind of silly the app shows the wrong the date just because it's not running per say. Once its set to launch and hide automatically you'll never have to worry about it again... so in the end it's no big deal.

Then don't quit it. Just close the window and keep it running.

Gee, just leave iCal running in the background, like a few other posters have suggested. This ain't OS 9. I'm running Tiger (10.4.2) on a lowly TiBook (500mhz, 512mb RAM) from 2001 for Pete's sake and I rarely actually quit any programs.

What does "per say" mean?
I don't see what the big deal is, though. Just leave it open all the time. Hide it if you must.

If you take the batteries out of your clock, do you think it's silly that it doesn't show the right time just because it's not running?

It just seems like the app shouldn't be an app (if you catch my drift), it should work the like menu bar clock and show the correct date automatically. Apple should just set iCal to be added to the log in items by default to avoid the confusion.
As stated I just keep it running in the background and all is good.

"per say" (sic)
"per se"
adverb
by or in itself or themselves; intrinsically : it is not these facts per se that are important.
ORIGIN Latin.
(Courtesy of Tiger's built-in dictionary).

holy frick... why don't we just complain that the lil apple is a different blue in Tiger... This is really a step back Apple.... it's freaking bright... oh my goodness... someone beat me with a bat!
Why the heck are you compulsively quitting. I'll normally have Finder, Safari, Mail, Address Book, iChat, iCal, iTunes, Pages, Photoshop, Fireworks, Final Cut Express, CPU Monitor, Activity Monitor all running, if not accompanied by a few more apps. If the app isn't doing anything it'll be swapped out of RAM into VRAM where it will live very happily until needed in which case it'll swap back in. You'll need a whole lot more than five apps open at the same time to bog down OS X.
