All-day events across multiple days

Okay, this is a very specifc question about a very specific situaiton, but I am curious to know what is going on. When I have an all-day event scheduled for one day in iCal and I sync it with my phone (Motorola v551) it shows up as a nice little note at the top of my calendar on my phone. When I have an all-day event scheduled across multiple days in iCal it shows up as an actual event across all the hours of the day for as long as I have it scheduled on my phone.
I have discovered a work-around by taking that one-day, all-day event and having it repeat the number of days of the event, but it just doesn't look right in iCal.

The calendar on your phone likely doesn't support events that span mutiple days. The solution of a repeating event is the correct answer.

How to display timed events across multiple days in month view?

Simple question I suppose, though I don't know if it has an answer. When I put an event spanning multiple days (say, a week long vacation) in iCal, and check the "All Day" box, it shows a nice, accurate, bar going across those days the event I'm entering covers. However, if I give it specific times for the event (e.g. the times of departure and return for said trip), even if those times are a week apart, the event still appears to only cover the starting date when viewed from the month perspective.
Is there any way I can make the month calendar show all the days during which the event is "happening" so that at a glance I will realize that an entire week is busy?

Hi,
You can do it with keyboard shortcuts.
Select the event. Press Cmd+X. Press Cmd and right or left arrow (depending if it is forward or back in months) until you are in the correct month. Press Cmd+V to pase on the same day in the new month.
Best wishes

Organizing multiple all day events in one day

I'm trying to figure out if I can use iCal to act as my doggy daycare biz calendar.
I tried adding each dog's appointment as an all day event, creating multiple all day events per day, however I can't figure out if there is a way to organize the order of these events. They seem to appear in the order I add them in and I can't change that. Especially when I make some of the entries repeat on a daily basis the order just gets more and more messed up. I've tried doing this with only 5 clients as a test and things are looking horrid so far. I would need to be able to enter about 20 clients, and under multiple calendars.
Would be nice to be able to have this on my computer and on my iphone by using the iCal as opposed to maintaining my current pen and paper system. Any suggestions?

You can't change the order of the event, they do go in based on the order they are entered.

Events Spanning Multiple Days

I'm converting to iCal from another application I've used for years. Does iCal support any way to insert and display a line, banner, bar, etc. accross multiple days in the Month View so that I can display the fact that I'm on the road or on vacation, etc. for the days covered by the line, banner, bar, etc?
I would be happy to provide a picture of what the application I've been using does to support this need.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iCal v2.0.4 (1055)

Regal909,
Is this what you are looking for? Creating an all-day or multi-day event:You can create an event that lasts one or more complete days (for example, for a vacation), or an event that spans multiple days with different start and end times.
To create an all-day event, make sure you're in Day or Week view, then double-click in the white area at the top of the iCal window (just below the date). If you want your all-day event to last multiple days, drag a corner of the event across the days in the main calendar view (or type the end date in the Info drawer).
To create a multi-day event, make sure you're in Day or Week view, then drag from the start time to the end time of the event (you can drag across multiple days). You can also type the start and end dates and times in the event's Info drawer.
All-day events are shown across the top of the day in the main calendar view.   
Tip: You can also make any event an all-day event by selecting the "all-day event" checkbox in the event's Info drawer.;~)

Nokia E71 Calendar Memos across multiple days

Hello,
I recently got a German Nokia E71
(E71-1 Software Version: 100.07.76 08-06-2008).
I noticed a strange behavior of the calendar:
When I create a memo that goes across multiple days (lets say 10 days or 14 days) In Month view the memo is shown correctly for the set time. Also when synchronizing with MS Outlook the memo is shown correctly on the PC.
But when you open the Memo directly (open day view, select the memo and press the center of the nav-key) then the memo is displayed to last one day longer than originally specified.
For example I created a memo that should end on the 11th of September (actually it starts in August so maybe spanning the Month barrier may also cause the problem) but it is shown to end on September 12th when I open it. Although it is shown correctly in Month view (shown on 11-Sept, not shown on 12-sept).
Maybe you have similar experiences?
Or an explanation for that behavior?
Thanks and regards,
Sebastian

I think I'm experiencing the same thing, Sebastian.
Phone: E71 bough from 3 in the UK ~20months ago.
Firmware: 100.07.76 08-06-2008 RM-346 E71-1 (241.02)
Here's how it happens:
Step 1) I create a memo on the calendar with the phone.
Step 2) I do an Ovi sync over the air (i.e. there is no use of the PC Suite or Microsoft Outlook going on).
Step 3) Some (but not all) of my single day memos are spread over two (2) days.
How it should look when correct: http://tinyurl.com/ovi-cal-memo-right
How it actually looks when wrong: http://tinyurl.com/ovi-cal-memo-wrong
As you can see in the 'wrong' example, instead of memos showing up as lasting for 1 day duration it's apparently "23 hours, 59 minutes" in duration, and ends on 18/07/2011. And yet it's spread over the 18th and 19th on the month view. The correct date (as entered and displayed on my phone) is actually the 19th! The same goes for all those other 'wrong 2-day memos': they should all only be shown on the second of the two day bar that's visible in month view.
At the moment, for some unknown reason, the problem seems confined to April-October of this year (and subsequent and prior years) and dates are stretched back by a day so they appear on the web version of the Ovi calendar as lasting for two (2) days instead of one (1). But I think that the problem has been more widespread and across-the-board in the past, and it may have put dates forward by an aditional day (although I can't be sure on that.
Thankfully, all these memos remain as correct on the phone and seem to be unaffected by the sync.
When it first happened I made an attempt to correct the Ovi Web Calendar memo sync problem before (thinking it was a once only bug) by going through all the Ovi calendar entries on the web interface and tidying things up that way. But I'm not prepared to go through all that hassle again.
It's a real niggle, to say the least.
What can be done?
Thanks for any help.

ICal imports Palm all day events as 2 day events - easy to fix?

Hi,
I want to make the switch from Palm desktop 4 to using iCal 3 but I've run into a problem. When I import the vcal exported from Palm, the iCal makes all of the all (one) day events into 2 day events.
Is there anyway to fix this so the all day event displays only on the day it was set for in Palm?
I'm hoping I don't have to do all of these by going back to my oldest events and changing the dates by hand because I have almost 9 years of data in my Palm calendar.
Thanks.

Just to update what I've been trying without success.
I exported the Palm datebook as .csv file. I then edited any entries that began and ended the same day without any times, i.e. the one day all day events, to begin at 12:01am and end at 11:59pm. Then after backing up my Palm user data and prefs, I erased my Palm data and reimported this .csv file into Palm desktop, then I reexported it to a vCal and imported that into iCal.
It made a mess out of things because I discovered some of these all day events also repeated. I'm not sure what to do with repeating events.
I tried going into iCal and manually changing the events but then I end up with many duplicates if they are repeating.
I exported the iCal data and opened it in Text Wrangler. Then I exported the calendar from Sunbird. It seems like the iCal is adding an extra "end date" that isn't in the file when I import it into Sunbird.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Calendar events spanning multiple days

Hi,
For events lasting multiple days, is there a way edit the calendar package so that it displays the event each day from the start to end date?
Thanks!

Hi,
The values(EVENTS) would anyway appear if there are entries in the table on which you are creating the calendar for e.g.
EVENT-1 01-JAN-02
EVENT-1 02-JAN-02
EVENT-1 03-JAN-02
EVENT-2 04-JAN-02
Create the calendar and order by the date field and the data should appear ..
Pl. could you explain further what exactly you want to display.
You can also restrict the calendar display by using the start and end month option.
Thanks,
Anu

Synching Calendar shows all day events over two days

Hello, been playing around with this for the last hour.
I run entourage and sync calendar events via itunes no problems, but today i noticed that some events for example birthdays were running across two days, checked them in calendar and they are fine, also check the events in ical and they are all set as one day.
When i synch the phone, i get an event running across two days????
tried various options, removing from one an sycnhing back and to, removed evertyhing from iphone and chose in itunes to Replace information on this iphone yet events are two days. Edit them on the phone and resynch and they appear again as two days.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any advice offered?

I did, and said that there are others. I did not however specify a specific thread.
Is there some reason why you cannot search for answers using the search facility ?
Its not difficult - just like using Google. there are a few threads i have seen in the last week or so, but I'm too lazy to point them out for you.

Events over multiple days only show on the first day in 'Month' view

Hi,
I've noticed that if I create an event that spans over two days (for example 23 May 2008 at 6 PM to 24 May 2008 at 1 PM) are only displayed on the from date in Month view.
This is unfortunate because if I look at my calendar in Month view, I think I'm free on the 24th, when in fact I'm busy until 1 PM.
Is there a way to get the Month view to display an entry for the event on both days (other than creating one event running from 23 May 2008 at 6 PM to 11:59 PM and a second from 24 May 2008 at 1:01 AM to 1 PM)?

Hi Sam
I just had the exact same problem the other day. I was asked to make an appointment with someone, I checked my calendar (actually on my iPhone) and I looked available that day so agreed and even entered the event. Turns out I will be working 70 miles away on the event I entered on the day prior. I've had the embarrassment of having to reschedule - makes me look disorganised.
The month view on iPhone is just the same as iCal - if it's not an 'all day' event it only shows on the first day. This is poor. I recall even outlook and windows mobile calendar manages to display this sensibly. Apple should be fixing this pronto.

All-day events moving a day ahead

I've recently (three weeks or so) started experiencing a problem whereby all-day events in iCal on my Mac appear a day earlier on my iPhone. So, for example, my sister's birthday on the 9th shows up on the 8th on the iPhone. Dates appear OK on the iPad, though. I guess it could be something to do with the leap year, but why does one device do it and not another.....

First, please check as follows.
* Launch iSync.
* Click the icon of your phone.
* Check the calendar (category) you'd like to sync is checked.
* Click "option".
* Check "Sync all day event" is checked.
I can sync all day events by this way, but have trouble on my N73.
All day events are synced as "meeting" starting from 12:00am to 11:59pm.
In iCal, I have a lot of all day events including holidays, so the weekly view is full of black bars covering whole days.
Should it be synced as "notes"?

I hear this problem is partly solved on iSycn 3.0 in Leopard.

All-day events become 3-day events

When I sync my iPhone All-day events from iCal are shown as 3-day events in iPhone.
Any ideas anybody?

Do you have Time Zone support active and set to your time zone on both your Mac (iCal > Preferences > Advanced tab) and the iPhone (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar)?

Outlook all day events are one day early in ipod touch calendar...

I recently bought an ipod touch 4th generation, when I tried to sync my outlook 2007 calendar all my all-day-events came up as a whole day early on my ipod touch. I'm running iOS Version: 4.3.5 and App Version: 3.3, outlook 2007 off windows 7. I see there are a lot of unresolved older threads around the same discussion point...did anyone get anywhere?

Hi,
Same problem.

Some all-day events span 2 days

I've noticed a weird anomaly in the syncronized Calendar of my Sony Ericsson W850i.
*some* of my sync'd Birthdays and All-day events are spanning 2 days, from 23:00 the previous day and finishing 22:59 on the actual day on the event.
e.g.
Pat's Birthday on March 23 in iCal appears on the phone calendar as -All Day-
Zoe's Birthday on March 28 in iCal appears on the phone calendar as
27thMarch @ 23:00> Zoe's Birthday and finishes 28thMarch @ 22:59
if I try and ammend the phone entry, iSync spits its dummy and says
Warning • Changing all-day events on the phone is not allowed. These changes have been ignored: Zoe's Birthday, 03/28/2007
Whats strange is that its not happening to ALL my all-day events, this example is Birthdays (which is a read-only calendar) but its also doing it with other all-day events in different sync'd calendars (spanning them over 2 days and starting 23:00 finishing @ 22:59)
iSync v2.3
Feisar-W850 iSync plug-in
iCal v2.04
Address Book v4.04
Any ideas appreciated
iMac 20" MacIntel Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GHz/512/250/SD/ATI/Airport X/BlueTooth

This issue is common to all Sony Ericsson phone and is mentioned on the Support page here:
http://mobile.feisar.com/plugin_support.html#cal
Basically, its because the clocks change at the end of March, and therefore the Daylight Saving setting is incorrect in your phone for events AFTER the clocks change.

All day events spanning two days

I have a Nokia 6300 that I'm syncing with iCal but when I have an all day event in iCal it comes in as a timed event on the phone that runs from 13:00 on one day and then ends 13:00 the following day. Whereas if I add an all day event on the phone then it transfers into iCal perfectly ok. Any ideas?

In the UK we're actually at GMT +1 hour to account for BST.

Try setting your phone to that instead and see what happens.
