Wrap text for all-day events

I've seen this question floating around, unanswered, since 2005...
How can I get iCal to show the full text of an all-day event in Month View? There's lots of blank white space, but it seems that iCal never wraps the text of all-day events, and just cuts off the text that doesn't fit on one line.
Am I missing something? Is there any way to get Apple to implement something so basic?

I have the same question, but need to add one odd observation about my own experience...
When I enter new events, sometimes the text wraps to two lines and sometimes the text is cut off after one line. It appears to be about 50-50. I can find no explanation for this behavior anywhere nor any way to control it. Very strange.

  • In ICal is there a way to see all of the text in all day events on the month view of the calendar.  Seems to wrap text only if there is a time on the event

    The paths won't agree on the two OSs so a simple XML import isn't likely to work.
    See Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers and, if needed, Make a split library portable. The techniques in the first link will work when moving the library between Windows and OS X as long as the library is "portable", but iTunes takes quite some time checking the database when the library is opened under a different OS.

  • Default alarm for all-day events

    When I set up iCal, I used a default alarm at 11 pm for ALL-DAY events.  I don't stay up that late anymore, and now I have to manually reset the alarm to a more sane time every time I enter an all-day event.  How do I change the default to earlier?  Note: This is not the same default as for regular timed events ... that one I can change in Preferences.

    Well, I couldn't figure this one out, so I just moved the calendars back to my main machine, and published them to the web for sharing with my laptop. On my main machine they worked fine.
    Can't figure out why it wouldn't work on the server. Maybe it'll change with Leopard's iCal server.

  • Section for All-Day events

    At the top of my Day- or Week-view calendars, in the small space available for All-Day events, there's always a space 1 row long even if there is no event planned. If at least one day has an all-day event, then the entire week has what looks like 2 slots, the event being on one and then room for another, but if you add a second all day event... you get my point.
    Is this just the way iCal looks or is my program having a minor issue?
    (I always try to search before posting but didn't find anything quite the same..)
    Thanks guys.

    There wouldn't by chance be some sort of official hack to change this state of affairs?
    I use iCal on an iBook, and my screen real estate is limited. If I could get rid of this additional row in the all-day events section, I would have more space to display my other events.
    I would even be prepared to go back to iCal 1.5 just to get more screen space - but unfortunately its not supported to run in Mac OS 10.4 (is there any way to hack iCal 1.5 to run on 10.4? You see, I'm seriously annoyed by this little UI change. Have even toyed with the thought of trying Entourage...)
    Thanks

  • Change Reminder Time for All Day Events

    I have a simple question but I have not been able to find the answer anywhere including by searching this forum. On my iphone, the reminder for my all-day events pop up at 6:00 AM. I usually try to sleep until a little later and get annoyed every day whe these reminders wake me up. Can anyone tell me how to change the reminder time for all day events?

    One thing that might help.
    Find the event on the iphone.
    Tap on the event, then tap edit.
    Here you can edit the Alert for that event.
    If it is a repeating event, it can be set to this event only or to all future events.
    However, an alert always comes up before the event is supposed to start.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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?

  • Why is ical creating unwanted alerts for all-day events?

    If anyone can point to what might be going wrong here I'd be grateful. This is becoming a daily irritant. I have a number of all-day events listed for most week days in my diary which help me to know what is happening that day with childcare for my son. I don't need alerts to be reminded of these - they are just notes I put to myself in adavnce that let me know how my day is configured. Now, I sync my ical from my home imac to my work imac, my macbook, my iphone and my ipad. On none of these devices do I have default alerts set. I never set any alerts for any of these 'events'. But then, at 9am the day before each one I get an alert. In fact, I get a 9am alert for any all-day event, regardless of whether I set an alert for then, or at all. As I say, I've checked all devices and the default alert a=on all is set to 'none'. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I stop it?

    Thanks Malcolm.I'm afraid this issue started for me after updating to iOS6!

  • No Email Alarm for All-Day Events

    Hello, Everyone,
    I've got a desktop and a laptop, and I've been syncing the iCal calendars on each for some time. However, this has resulted in one annoying thing - whenever an event comes up in iCal that I'd set an email alarm for, I would receive multiple alarms, one from each machine.
    I thought I'd solve this problem by moving the calendars to my server (a headless Mini running 10.4.6 Server), and thus only get one email alarm. However, since I moved it, I'm getting no alarms.
    I've run some tests, and confirmed that if I set up a test event at a specific time, I will get an email alarm for it. However, if the event is set up to be an all-day event, no alarm.
    I've restarted the server, I've made sure the iCalScheduler is running...these calendars have worked for years, and now I'm perplexed. Any thoughts?
    Cheers,
    Martin

    Well, I couldn't figure this one out, so I just moved the calendars back to my main machine, and published them to the web for sharing with my laptop. On my main machine they worked fine.

  • Yosemite - strange behavior for all-day events in iCal

    I have been using previous versions of MacOS with my corporate exchange server for quite a while with no issues.  After  the upgrade to Yosemite i have found an odd behavior with inserting all-day events into the exchange calendar.  Same results on MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, both worked fine with Mavericks and now have this issue with Yosemite
    My previous workflow was to double click in the upper bar in calendar, open an event in the all-day area, type  in what I wanted to say, select the exchange calendar from the pull down (I have multiple calendars) and the event was done.
    Now when I do this when I switch the event to the exchange calendar I get  this error message:
    If I select OK the event is then transformed to a 12:00-1:00 meeting and a note is added to the  notes that the time zone isn't right
    Note: the meeting does go into the calendar in Pacific time (my default) and I can edit the event back to an all-day and remove the junk from notes and it stores away like it should.  But this is quite annoying
    Any suggestions

    I have the very same issue. I solved it once somehow but now it's back. I use Plaxo to sync between Outlook-iCal-iPhone and maybe that somehow has confused the phone. Let me know if you find any solutions. I will do the same.

  • IPhone 4 calendar entries get duplicated for all day events

    Hi all,
    A new one, I have an iPhone 4 which is duplicating all day events for no reason. You can delete one of the events and then it promptly shows up again. The other two all day events for the same item can not be edited or deleted. They originally where doing the same thing on the Mac but I resolved that by following Apple's support info on deleting the cache and resetting sync history. The Mac shows the correct calendar info just the iPhone is doing the duplicates. I've removed the iPhone calendar and then added it back to the iPhone to have the same thing happen. I've also copied all calendar info to a new calendar, removed the old one from iCal and the phone and synced the new one to have the same thing happen again. I am not using Mobile Me, never have and don't have an account so it's not that.

    Angus,
    I've found a solution that worked for me. I hope it works for you too:
    1. Make a backup of your Mac iCal. (It's not a step to recover the data in case something go wrong, we'll need the backup file for sure)
    2. Download iCal Dupe Deleter from http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
    3. Run iCal Dupe Deleter and select the calendar in wich you have the duplicated events. Then press the "Test selected calendar" button.
    4. If the app finds any duplicates, another button will appear. Press it and follow the steps.
    5. Once iCal Dupe Deleter has opened iCal and restored the data with the new one, load the backup file that you saved on step 1 and restore.
    6. Sync your iPhone with iTunes as you usually do and your iPhone calendar will be perfect again.
    Please, let me know if it works for you.

  • Why can't we change the 9am alarm for all-day events?

    I need these all-day events alarms to be at another time, why can't I do this? Why the arbitrary 9am? Please, don't suggest to not use all-day events, this is not an acceptable solution to a very basic setting change that should be accessible.
    Using iCal 6.0 on 10.8.3 with iCloud and iOS 6.

    Hi,
    See from the business perspective, but not from the system point of view.
    Intial triggering point for any business operation(inquiry , quotation , order - others are dependant transactions) is sold to party ( the one who place the order), which means at the time  of placing the order, respective business partner should completely aware of & disclose the required details to complete the business deal. 
    eg: where these order supposed to dispatch,
    to whom business has to send the copy of invoice &
    who is gonna settle this invoice amount.
       So Sold to party will have all the required details. Hence one sold to party act as the other business partners.
    Once agreed, then only business partner is created as Sold to party in system. If is there any changes from the Sold to party such as in future sold to party is not going to receive the goods, but they nominated some other business partner for this function, then the respective details will be recorded as Ship to party & assigned this number to Sold to Party.
    So you cant change the sold to party as some other business partners such as SH, BP  & PY.

  • Calendar alerts for all day events

    Am I missing something??? Is there anyway to set an alert to go off on the date of an all day event but not at midnight the night before? It would be so much better if the user could choose what time the alert should go off, like 9am for instance. Who wants an alert at midnight!

    Isnt there any other way than doing it manually? I have a lot of birthdays and anne. saved on the contacts info on my outlook with the alert set to go off at 8 AM but as the previous person said....all alerts tend to go off at 12 midnight which is quite irritating.

  • Calendar display issues for "All Day Events" coming from Exchange Server

    My problem is with the display of All Day events. I'm running a 3gs, Outlook 2007 on winxp, connected to a Exchange 2007 server. When an all day event is put in for multiple days the phone calendar displays it as starting at midnight going to midnight, and sometimes wont display the event on the list view on the phone. I can correct the display by editing it on the phone and making it all day there, but then the category I assigned the event in outlook goes away in outlook. All day single day events work just fine. Any suggestions?

    Sort of same issue:
    All day events scheduled from Entourage display incorrectly on iPhone/iPad as non-all-day events (which block out entire day/multiple days)
    All day events scheduled from iPhone/iPad show up correctly in Entourage as all-day events, but incorrectly with an *extra day* added.

  • Can't change alert time for all day event

    I have an ipad 4, iOS 6.1.3.  When. I set up an all day event and I want to be alerted the day before, the time for the alert is 9am and I can't change it.  I went into the settings to make sure there wasn't a default set, and there wasn't.  Is this just the way it is and I either take it or leave it?  Thanks for your help.

    You are correct - you can modify whether to receive an alert for an all day event, and, if so, how far in advance.  But once you have chosen to receive the alert the day before the event, the 9AM time is not modifiable.  I even checked on iCloud and on my Mac, and the same is true there.
    (It turns out that other things that cannot be done on iPad, for example, create a repeating event on, say, the third Tuesday of each month, can be done on the Mac or in iCloud and then will function correctly on iPad.)
    Anyway, if you would like to provide feedback to Apple, here's how:
