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.

  • 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.

  • All-Day Events in Month View

    When I have more than two all-day events (Just one day) that are in different categories in one day, only two show. The others are hidden and you have to open the week or day calendar to view them. When the events are regular events there is not a problem, but I would like to know how to be able to view three all-day events or more from the month view. Is this even possible?

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

  • How do you view 4 or more all day events

    Is there a way to view 4 or more all day events without getting the .... at the top of the day box?

    T.Edwards,
    Have you tried making the window larger?
    According to iCal: Understanding symbols « How to work your Mac: "In Month view, three dots (an ellipsis) at the top of the day indicates there are more events on that day than can be shown. To see all the events in Day view,double-click the ellipsis."

  • IOS 7 Calendar Day View does not show any all-day events ?

    Hi,
    I realize that iOS 7 Calendar Day View  does not show any all-day events.
    Is this a bug ?
    Any help given is much appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards.

    Mine brings me right up to the current time, or in the case of another day, it takes me to the first appointment of the day.

  • 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?

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

  • 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

  • Show ALL all-day events in week view

    I am looking for a way to see ALL all-day events in iCal's week view. By default, it only shows up to two and a half events, and to see more you need to scroll. What's more, you don't see an out-of-view marker, so you don't always know you need to scroll. This is most annoying.
    The same goes for timed events in week view. You do not get an out-of-view marker, so you don't know you need to scroll. This is inconsistent with the Cal app on the Mac, where you do get an out-of-view marker (a small line in the colour of the out-of-view event).
    Is there a way to fix these issues in iCal? Or is there an iCal alternative that offers these things? I am basically looking for these things, each of which is a possible deal breaker for me (and I find it hard to figure out if iCal alternatives offer these basic functions):
    Week view.with out-of-view markers.
    Week view showing ALL all-day events.
    Icon that shows the date (in the icon or in a badge).

    I'm not sure how this got in the iPhone forum. I seem to recall posting in the iPad forum, but I may be wrong. Anyway, it's iCal for iPad I'm talking about, even though the same issues exist on the iPhone.

  • Multiple lines of event title and location failed to show for All Day event in SharePoint 2010 Calendar

    I have a calendar with SPD workflow to display multiple lines for Title, Attendees, Location.
    1. Created a custom columne "Breaklines" and set to "Multiple lines of text"
    2. Set Monthly View to display the "Breaklines"
    3. in SPD I created a workflow like this:
    4. On the Calendar page, I used a javascript to remove the <br/>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"
    type="text/javascript"></script><script
    type="text/javascript">
    function updateCalendarWeekday()
       $('.ms-acal-title').each(function(){
        var str = $(this).html();
        str = str.replace(/&lt;/g,
    "<");
        str = str.replace(/&gt;/g,
    ">");
        $(this).html(str);
    _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push('calendarEventLinkIntercept');
    // hook into the existing SharePoint calendar load function
    function calendarEventLinkIntercept()
       var OldCalendarNotify4a
    = SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4a;
       SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4a
    = function ()
          OldCalendarNotify4a();
          updateCalendarWeekday();
    }</script><style>
    .ms-acal-item
                    HEIGHT:
    60px !important
    .ms-acal-summary-itemrow
                    HEIGHT:
    85px !important
    }</style>
    Everything works fine, except that when the All Day event is checked, the display screwed like this:
    I guess that when the event is All Day Event, the Start Time and End Time is not filled by the user (although they show in the form as 12:00 am -11:59PM), so the top line space is now used to display Title and Location. Since the Top Space for
    Start and End Time is a single line, it displays everything on one line. Plus the script does not act on this space.
    Does anyone know a fix for this problem?
    Thanks for any tips!

    Is there a way to modify the javescript so that it also works in the "start-end time" space?

  • Calendar too many all day events in weekly view

    The headings for events disappear in the iCloud Calendar's "weekly" view when you add too many "all day" events onto 1 day.  It's weird because the event headings show correctly in the monthly view and the day view but just not in the weekly view.  You can tell the events are there in the weekly view but the event headings do not appear.
    The events' headings appear fine when displayed in the "weekly" view in the Calendar.app back on my iMac (desktop).  So, it's just a problem with the weekly view in the Calendar on the iCloud.com.
    Anybody else noticing this?
    Can Apple get it fixed?

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • Why won't iCal display multi-day events in month view?

    This is frustrating. If someone sends me a calendar event that lasts multiple days from Calendar software that ACTUALLY WORKS  (hint hint hint Google Calendar, Outlook), and if I accept this event, it only displays the FIRST DAY of the event in iCal's month view. It should put a solid bar through every date included in the duration of the event. How is it that this has not been fixed yet???

    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)

  • 3 Dots in Corner Of Day Box in Month View

    When in the month view of iCal several days of every month have 3 periods/dots in the upper left hand corner of the day box that can't be deleted. Ever see this and can they be erased.
    Thanks

    My problem is related, and I would like to display these. Is there an override? There seems to be at least 1/2 of each daily box empty.
    ical: show all-day events on monthly view?
    I use iCal to track rentals in a couple of vacation apartments I manage. I have separate calendars for each, and more for personal items, etc., and a typical event would cover 7 days as an all-day event. When I checkmark 4 calendars, only 3 events will show up in the monthly view, the other(s) being designated as 3 dashes instead of the info (---). Is there a way to override this so I can quickly see what is booked for an entire month? Switching back and forth to weekly view doesn't cut it, when I need to answer availability questions quickly.
