Order of all day events • printing list view without empty days

I have only just started to use iCal in a work context. I need to programme over 500 events in several different locations (probably up to 10 locations on one day). I have divided these locations into five regions, and have made a calendar for each region.
Times are not important - just the dates, so I have been entering these events as all day events. What I would like to be able to do is ensure that in the month view (and particularly the print out) that the events I put in are always ordered in the same order that I have set up the calendars in the sidebar (I would also like more than 4 events displayed per day in the month view, but that's another matter!). I have been looking on these discussion boards and elsewhere on the internet and this appears to be a feature that many users would like implemented.
I would also then like to be able to print out separate list views for each region (calendar), but missing out the empty days. This also seems to be a feature that is wished for by many users, and has been requested for some time.
Any news on whether such changes will be made? Come on Apple, I mostly love your hardware and software, but there are quite a few of these little functionality issues scattered around the place.

In short, no - there is nothing you can do to determine the the display order of a series of all-day events in iCal. While the appear to generally be listed either in the order in which they were created or in the order in which your calendars appear in the left sidebar, even this is not always the case.

  • How can you view multi day events in month view without having to check the "all-day" box?

    I have multi-day events that I would like to be able to view in the month view.  The only way that I have found to do this is to make the event a "all-day" event.  Is there another way to view these events in month view, or am I stuck? 

    It shows multi-day events that are "all-day" events.
    But for a non "all-day" event that happens to span multiple days, it only shows the first day

  • Two all day events in list view?

    Is it possible to have two all day events over the same time period in list view? When I try to add a second, the first is then only shown as three dots on each day (the stripe disappears).
    Thanks

    Same problem here; if I EVER find out the solution I will post it here.

  • ICal multi-day (not all day) event  in Month view not displayed over days

    What is it when I have an event that starts on a Wednesday and 4:00pm and goes to Friday at 6:00pm (not clicked as an All Day Event), (in Month view) the only day showing the event is the first day?! Shouldn't it show it over the course of the 3 days!? Outlook does that (I can't believe I just referenced Outlook in an Apple Discussion... in a positive light no less). Is it a setting?

    Yes, Apple any help for this would be great. The only way I've come to work around is to use multiple events. So for a flight out of town would be one event, and the return another. I would create a third event then for the actual time out of town. There must be some way to easily fix this.

  • In iphone 4 mobile me calander not showing all events in list view

    i have iphone 4 Mobile me calendar not showing all events in list view where as showing all events in month/day view. why so & how to resolve

    It started about a week ago. The "From" drop-dow is now missing in Mac Mail. It should appear beneath the subject line. I was working with MobileMe Chat support for about 3 hours. They cannot solve the problem and have now escalated it to the "Senior Advisor Team."

  • Days missing from list view if no event entered in iCal

    if i have no event entered on a particular day, the list view of iCal doesn't display the day. how can i still see the day in list view?

    The List view reveals the day/days with an event scheduled only. If there isn't an event scheduled for a particular day, that day will not be shown when using List view.
    The List view is a list of scheduled events only.

  • Showing more All-Day Events in Month View?

    Even with the iCal window maximized, when more than 4 All-Day events take place on the same day, Month View shows "..." instead of the usual All-Day colour bar, even if there's still half the space left in 'box' for that day....
    To be clear: it shows the first 4 colour bars for the corresponding all-day events, then "..." at the top to show there are more, you have to switch to Week or Day view to see them
    I looked at the plist and can't figure what could be changed.... any tips? It would really be convenient to see the maximum possible number of All-Day events even in Month view.
    Merci!

    Unfortunately, it appears that this is intentional. The iCal Help file states:
    "If you're in Month view and you see three dots (an ellipsis) at the top of the day, there is not enough room to show all the events on that day. To see all the events in Day view, double-click the ellipsis."
    I suspect that half of the box is saved for all-day events and half for timed events. On my iMac G3, I get three dots and 3 events, on my G5 with a much larger screen I get three dots and 4 events. If anyone figures out how to alot more space to all-day events, it would be a big help.

  • Printing List view/CRM4Mac

    For those of you wanting to print list views with only dates that have events, CRM4Mac allows you to do this for events (no To Do's, yet.)
    CRM4Mac (Contact Relations Management for Mac) might be worth folks taking a look at: http://www.crm4mac.com/index.html
    It integrates Mail, Address Book and Ical (excluding tasks) but for US$50. I hope a more complete solution is on the way (ie Chronos).

    Does anyone know if syncing via .Mac will also cause the URLs to show up? None of my to dos have been entered via Mail and yet all but the one I just entered have the offending URLs. Most of the contents of iCal is there via a "Restore iCal..." done as part of a migration to Leopard. I have entered several since then, all via iCal. And, all but the one that I entered just moments ago have the URLs when printed as a list. In terms of .Mac syncing, I only sync iCal and Address book, and the sync is between two Macs running 10.5.1.

  • Multi day events in Month View.

    Multi day events in month view only display on the first day. Checking all day event fixes this, but none of my multi day events are in fact all day. If I sync with my iphone, it does mark both days on the multi day event in month view.
    In week view they display correctly, but I like to have the month drawn out.
    I am surprised to come across this hang up. Other calendars I have used always displayed such events across the month view.
    Is this a bug or lack of feature?
    R

    Bug or design flaw?
    Try setting it as a recurring event (yeah, I know, it's not a great solution, but it gets the job done)

  • Timed muti day event in month view

    Can someone please help. I need help with the 'month' display of iCal. If I have a multi-day event, iCal shows solid bar between the start day and the end day.
    However, if a start time on the first day of the multi-day event is entered, it is only this first day which shows up in the month view. There is no solid bar covering all the days and at only a glance of the 'month' view, it looks like the multi-day event is actually just a single-day event.
    Can someone please help.
    Thanks

    If it has a start time iCal doesn't consider it a multi-day event, so in month view only displays it on a single day, which is definitely misleading. You should probably tell Apple's OS X Feedback about it.

  • All Project Across Organizations List View- Why some projects read only?

    Hi Rebecca,
    This is just a sample project.  I am not the original author of this project.  I just recreated the project, but I have a few problems. 
    1) when I create the project I am not able to retrieve all the rows for that 2nd event unlike the original project.  I cannot figure out why the project crashes when I try to retrieve more than 50-60 rows for the 2nd event.
    problem 2) this project was architected using legacy EF (EF4).  I have to remove all the .tt files in the designer and select "Generate legacy Code" in the edmx file and save.  This is so I can use ObjectContext. 
    Eventually, I want to recreate this sample project using DBContext for the edmx. 
    If you could figure out what the problem is when I replace the service reference in the FullClient, that would be very nice.

  • Printer List (Default) is empty

    When trying to add a new printer the default printer list comes up empty. I have not deleted any drivers, they are all still in /Library/Printers. I have tried reinstalling the drivers from the install disk, and repairing disk permissions, to no avail. Can anyone help?

    With the Print & Fax window open, point your mouse to the empty printer list then hold down Control and then click your mouse. The 'Reset printing system' dialog should appear. Select this and then restart your Mac. Now once restarted, open Print & Fax again and select to add. Select the printer from the default view or enter your network details and then see if the Print using menu has any models listed.

    Hi,
    Did read my above reply & tried in the system . Clearly written, you need to set Dispatch time as 4 {Send immediately (when saving the application)} in NACE t.code in application EF & in condition record t.code:MN04 for PO message type. Then only PO can be printed or PO can send by e-mail AFTER PO RELEASE ONLY {ME29N/ME28}. Just try in the system 1st.
    .Do not get confuses as text written as u201Cwhen saving the applicationu201D for Dispatch time for 4 by having assumption that PO print or e-mail possible after saving in ME21N.

  • All day events in iCal on 3Gs w/ iOS 4.0.2 show up day early in List view

    For some reasons, all day events on my Calendar (iCal synced via MobileMe) are showing up a day earlier on my iPhone, but only when I use List view. They appear fine when I use iCal on my MBP or iMac. This happens with all day events on my calendars and subscribed calendars (e.g., birthdays).
    If I tap on an event in the Day or Month view, the correct date is listed. If I tap on it in the List view, the day before is listed as the date.
    What in the heck is going wrong here?

    I am having the same problem. I have tried different scenarios and it looks like its an issue with syncing from MobileMe. I thought I had it beat when I saw my preferences for in iCal were set to to start at 8AM and end at 6PM. I made it Midnight to Midnight but that did not fix it.
    I am perplexed - has to be a bug!

  • Multiple All Day Events, Printing "Order"

    I need to create a log, where 4 fields are used for people to fill in. For ease of explanation, I'll call them "A" "B" "C" and "D".
    I have tried using one Calendar, and creating 4 all day events. When I do this, and go to Print the thing, the events get all jumbled around. On some days the order will be A, B, C, D; and on others D, A, C, B.
    So then I got the bright idea of creating 4 Calendars; A, B, C and D, and in each Calendar, putting one all day even per calendar. This still causes iCal to sit there and mess it up. One week, the events will appear in the correct order, and others, it won't.
    I'm fresh out of ideas, and can't figure out how to make the thing print the events I want in the order I want them. Any help would be MOST appreciated!!!

    I'm having the same problem only not just when printing. My All-Day events (which I use more as notes than actual events) switch places all the time and I can't make any sense out of it. I thought it had to do with alphabetical order, but that's not it, then I thought it had to do with the order I typed them, but that's not it either. It's particularly annoying when I have two days with multiple identical events and yet they don't have the same order. There's got to be a way to order them manually, but if there isn't, Apple should add it quickly.
