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)?

All-day events in iCal become 2-day events on iPhone

Since I updated to 1.1.2, all my all-day events in iCal become 2-day events on the iPhone. Has anyone else had this problem? I can reset the end time on the iPhone, but I have lots of recurring monthly events and it would take forever to do this manually.

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.

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!

All-Day events showing up in Weekly view but not Monthly view

Okay, so I have about 80 All-Day events that I am setting up. They are not recurring events but all will be multiple day events. I am setting all events up to have two alarms, one alarm being a cut off date specific to that event and the other alarm corresponding to a group meeting date prior to each event.
Since about 95% of these All-Day events will occur on the weekends, I will have several different All-Day events on each weekend. What it happening is that when viewed by month, I am not seeing all of the All-Day events but when viewed by Week, all All-Day events are there and editable.
I thought it might be a result of space constraints so I deleted events on days where I had several simultaneous events and that did not allow "hidden" events in month view to become visible.
Anyone have any suggestions?

One more thing, it prints just fine in Month View. Bizarre.

All Day events in Calenday spans two days

I mentioned this earlier, but thought I'd repost it into it's own discussion.
I've noticed that most (all?) of my all day events show up just fine in iCal (for a single day), but after syncing to my iPod - the iPod shows these all day events spanning over to the following day.
I just did a fresh iPod restore the other day so even if that did fix it - it was very very temporary.
And yes - at the time I checked that option to over write the data on the iPod.

No time zone issue here either. Strange. Just one of those things we will never know...
My lame fix?
List the event I want for "all day" at 3:00am. Then later, when I feel like it, go to iCal and change them to All Day. Course, that only works if you never move it in Outlook again (for example, it I move the all day event from Thursday to Friday it will once again, become a two day event in the iPhone).
Maybe someone at Apple could just fix this during a lunch break...I will even pay for the lunch!

Why are all-day calendar events not appearing in the Notification Center?

I've noticed that all-day Calendar events do not appear in the Notfication Center in iOS. This is a glaring omission and I'm not sure if it's related to a bug or is intentional but it should be fixed right away. Why in the world would you leave out an all-day event from the Notification Center? What if I had a wedding anniversary or some other important event to remember?

IOS / is no out for a couple of weeks and Apple seems to be reluctant to fix this problem. As a business device it becomes rediculous to be not able to see my calender entries anymore in the notification center. Is Apple now leaving the business arena and focusing on toys ?

No iCal alert on "All day" events in Lion :-(

When creating an "All day event" in iCal in OSX Lion the event is not preset with an alert as it used to be in Snow Leopard. That is frustrating as we now have to this this manually.

How? I doubleclick an empy space in the top area underneath the leather to make an appointment. This then becomes an All day event but when I edit it I see that the alarm is not set. I have to do this manually. Only hour based events will get the default alert set.

All Day events from Exchange are a day out

There are a few posts similar out there but I haven't been able to find a solution for this one.
If I create an "all day" appointment in Outlook and sync it to my iPhone via exchange it shows up a day early on the iPhone, but fine in Outlook. Now here's the interesting bit, if I modify the appointment on the iPhone and sync it back, its fine, the dates match.
I've checked the time zones and disabled time zone support, its still an issue (plus these items are a whole day out not just 13 hours so I don't think that is the issue). It sounds similar to the birthday issue here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2456 but iTunes isn't involved so can't really do that fix.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm getting a little sick of turning up to meetings a day early.
Thanks,
Cameron

I was wrong... defining a time zone in Outlook doesn't seem to change it after all.
It's a little odd because if I create an all day event and load the time zone options they are greyed out, they only become active if its not an all day event. If I save the event with the time zones showing (but greyed out) when I reopen the event the time zones are gone. So maybe nothing is actually being saved???
Its still just a theory but I suspect that saving of time zone information might be part of the problem, now I just have to find a way to prove it.

Recurring all day events

Please could support for weekly/monthly recurring all day events be added back into PC Suite?
In the past, calendar entries of this type were correctly synced to the phone. Since I've upgraded to the latest version of PC Suite this functionality has gone and only the first occurence is synced.
I appreciate that the phone doesn't natively support all day recurrence but that didn't seem to present a problem in the past.
All day recurring events are the intuitive way to diarize in many situations...
For example, I work on many different customer sites througout the week. For days when I am on a customer site, I also need to schedule individual meetings to take place on that site.
Prior to the update to PC Suite I was able to use an all day event to describe which location I would be in and individual meetings to describe what I would be doing while I was there. If I have to switch to using an appointment to also describe where I am each day the calendar quickly becomes very messy and Outlook complains that the appointments overlap.
Reading through the forums the most common suggestion is essentially to "change the way that you use Outlook" which if I was the only person managing my calendar wouldn't be too difficult. Unfortunately my calendar can be accessed and managed by many other people and I don't think it's sensible that I should train other users to do something that's counter-intuitive just because of a limitation of PC Sync!
FYI I'm running N95 classic V21.0.016, Outlook 2003 & PC Suite 6.85.14.1
If anyone can provide an insight into why this functionality was removed or some workaround that I haven't considered I'd be grateful.
Regards
Mark

in the past (I mean 2-3 years ago with some S40 phones some recurring items where split by pc sync toidividual items in phone but that created more problems because any change to such events would no longer sync properly (because you had one meeting in Outlook (that only had a recurring tag with many meetings in phone with no recurring tag) and also individual many meetings in phone will fill the phone memory.
As frustrating it may be, this is not a simple limitation of pc sync, but a fact that Nokia phones have different data models than Outlook.

All Day Events on Mac are two days on Iphone

I know this issue has been brought up, but I have yet to find a solution. It seems it doesn't happen to enough people for Apple to address.
Has anyone found and answer to this?

Calendar All Day Events, Calculated Columns, Timezone and DayLight Savings - Issues

Hi
I have a calendar where I am trying to display in one column using a calculated field (TitleWithTimes):
Start time (only display time) - End Time (only display time) : Title i.e. 00:00 - 23:59 : Test Event
So I add an all day event to the calendar for this month (February), it appears correctly:
i.e. 00:00 - 23:59 : Test Event 1
I am based in the UK so my time zone is currently GMT/UTC.
However if I add any all day events to the calendar in April when the time zone switches to GMT+1, the start and end times appear incorrect.
i.e 01:00 - 00:59 : Test Event 2
Field: TitleWithTimes
=TEXT([Start Time],"hh:mm")&" - "&TEXT([End Time],"hh:mm")&" : "&Title
This issue only occurs with ALL Day Events when the events are scheduled for a in the period of the year where the Time Zone becomes GMT + 1. My regional settings everywhere in SharePoint are correct as are all the SharePoint servers.
I have done lots of searching and troubleshooting to try and resolve this issue but it appears nobody has found a reliable fix for this issue with calculated fields, all day events and time zones? Does anyone have any ideas of workarounds?
Thanks

Hi,
I understand that you had issues about the calculated field in calendar.
This is a reproducible issue, when creating an all day event, the calculate column based on the Start Time/End Time is different from the original column value. The date is stored in SQL in GMT time and is displayed in SP in the correct time in lists. So
returning the start time in a calculated column for an all day event returns the start time in GMT time, which is not the current time most likely.
As a workaround, you can regenerate the calculate column to add one day/minus one day based on whether the event is an all day event, or create a workflow to copy the start time column to your created date/time column.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

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.

How do I change: when I double click on a day to add a new event it defaults to All Day and Busy

iCal 5.0.2 (1571) Is there any way to change this? I can't do it in preferences.
This is a real pain. To make an event for a specific time I have to double click again, uncheck "All Day" and then put in the time for the start of the event. Even then, if I put in the start time, the end time remains at 6:30 PM, so I have to change that too.
If I really do want an All Day event, why does it sometimes default to Busy, rather than always to Free?
The old iCal was far superior in this regard; double click once on a day and the add an event dialogue box appears, defaulting to a time close to when you were making the event, and, if my memory serves correct observing the preference I set with respect to default length of the event.
I'm aware that Command N gets me a new Quick Event, its a bit better in that if the event i enter opens the big "add an event dialogue box", it has defaulted to an hour long event. But, if I click on a day, and then hit Command N, the new event is put in Today, and not the day I had selected. It also defaults to All Day, unless I put in a time for the event in the Quick Event box. Why would I do that when I know I want to enter info into a number of fields, and doing so is easiest from the big dialogue box. If i don't enter a time in Quick Event, or enter a day, I still have to double click the event that was created by Quick Event to open the big dialogue box, and start fresh entering everything. So, I find Quick Event's implimentation cumbersome, overall ending up with more keystrokes and clicks to enter the details I normally enter, than the old iCal.
So, if someone knows how to change the double click behaviour back to the old way, or how to get Quick Event to open the dialogue box on the day i have already selected, any help will be appreciated.
Also, is there some way to get this feedback to Apple? Support SiteMap doesn't show a link for feedback.
Thanks
Ian

I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
Command N
I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

Multiple All Day Events Missing in Week View

Hello,
I just got my first BB a Curve 8900 and am very impressed.
The only thing I don't like is that if I have more than one all day event on a particular day, in Week View I can't see them.
(I've used a variety of other phones/PDAs over the years and this is not normally an issue)
I've googled this and haven't found much relating to it, other than people not seeing all day events on the home screen or something.
Is this a BB 'feature'? Is there a work around?
I'd like to be able to see my week ahead at a glance and don't seem to be able to.
Thanks in advance.

Hello RobertBL,
I have the same problem. In week view i only see 1 event on days with multiple day events. I use firmware version 4.6.1.152 (platform 4.2.0.91). My Curve 8900 is T-Mobile branded (Netherlands). Until now i haven't found a work around. In other calendars (pocket informant and Agendus) i don't have this problem in weekview, so it must be a BB firmware bug.
Greatings

ICal "all day events" separator bar

Is it possible to adjust the "all day events" separator bar in iCal in the Daily or Weekly view. When you have more than 6 all day events on one day a scroll bar appears, and it's not possible to view all of the all day events at once. I know that this sounds like nit-picking, but I've developed a work-flow where I would like to look at all of the informaiton at once without extra clicks or scrolls, or to glance at the information without having to bring the application to the surface, or make it the active application.
Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the separator bar to allow the user to see more then 6 all day events in the weekly or daily iCal views
Another ideal solution would be additions to the View or the Preference options that would allow the user to view all of the "all day events" and have the separator bar automatically adjust.
thanks,

I agree with you... this used to be a flexible field and would handle infinate "all day" events. To answer your question... no, you cannot adjust this field. I too use this for business and really need to view all the "all day" events. I've been forced to use the daily view and put a date notation in the "location" field to know when the event ends. It's the only way to see everything.
I found a nice little calendar program SaiSuke but Apple doesn't play well with others. You can enter into the iCal or iCloud calendar program and it will seemlessly appear through iCloud into the SaiSuke calendar. But Apple will not release the information allowing SaiSuke to talk back to iCloud.
Basically what I'm saying is it's a one way conversation between SaiSuke & iCloud, it can bring data in but not return data back. So if you enter a new event in SaiSuke it will not be anywhere other than the iPhone or iPad you entered it on, it cannot make it back to iCloud without plugging your phone in and doing a manual Sync. Of course this process will produce duplicate events.
So unless someone out there has more knowledge ... and you want to have your events be the same on multiple platforms (phone, pad & desktop) we are stuck with using their iCal product. Apple calls this progress.
