All-day Events Disappearing

Hi,
I switched to Mac last year and haven't had any problems until now. I was recently using iCal when it quit unexpectedly. I got the program to open again by deleting the application preferences (although I also tried repairing permissions). However, now I can't create multi-day, all-day events that appear in Month view (non all-day events don't have a problem) - they only appear in week/day view. Also, there seems to be extra trouble with the month of March 2011, especially the 12/13th. I can't get to March 2011 by seeking through the months on top, and when I do find a way to get to March 2011, the 12 and 13 are often times on top of each other, or the 13th is un-editable.
I'm trying to find a way to fix this short of un/re-installing! Thanks!

I do have a backup which is the only way I was able to get the events to come back (other than the 2nd time it happened when they magically reappeared on their own after a few minutes). Once I restored from the backup, I then reset the sync data and overwrote the local contents with the contents from MobileMe to make sure everything was current. I considered downgrading but I think I'll tough it out for now and just keep making backups. I noticed that iCal is spitting out a bunch of messages to the system console, so this should help me dig deeper into the problem if it happens again.

Why does my all-day events disappear off iCal after Mountain Lion upgrade

After upgrading to mountin lion, I can no longer see any all-day events on my imac. They are still visible on my iphone. If they are entered on my imac, as soon as I check the box for all-day event, the entry disappears from the calendar. Any ideas?

Solved this myself. In the View menu you (I) need to check "Show All-Day Events".

How do you disable all-day event notifications?

I've already read the various threads about the issues with all-day events disappearing from the Today view and only appearing in the Notifications. However, I am having an issue when trying to disable all-day event notifications. I currently use my all day events from my work calendar (Lotus Notes 8.5) that is synched to my phone. I have disabled the "Notify Me" option within Lotus Notes and changed the default all day event notification on my phone to "None". The problem is that this has not disabled any all day event notification and I still get notified every night at midnight for the event. This didn't happen on iOS 6 or any of the iOS 7 beta versions. Is this something that can be fixed? Thanks!

the Automation quick access should be off by default. I don't think this is what will do it for you, but here is a description of it, Page 320 of the manual
Automation Quick Access
This feature makes Track Automation extremely fast and simple if you only have one hardware MIDI controller available (one fader on your MIDI keyboard, or maybe just the Modulation wheel). You can use this single hardware controller to access (and automate) the currently visible Automation parameter of the selected Track in the Arrange window.
since it is midi messages that you do not want to send from your controller, I think you need to go to song settings an filter out incomming midi messages. File>song settings>midi>imput filter
but really any messages being sent should only effect the channel you are playing. I am assuming you are playing one of logics instruments for live performance.

Multiple all-day events and one event disappears.

I have multiple all-day events (in different calendars) and now sometimes (not always) one event won't show in iCal. It's still there cause it's now "....." instead of the name of the event.
The old multiple all-day events show perfect but when I try to add another multiple all-day event now, it will only show one all-day event. It will show as maybe timed event as I wish but only one all-day event.
I don't get why this has happened cause I have not changed anything from before except for maybe timezone.
Any ideas?
Thank you

It seems that iCal only displays 5 all-day events, even if you have plenty of room in the calendar window. Change them to timed events and you can see more. Very annoying. I'd like to find a way to change that.

All day events do not appear in iCal 5.0

Even if I enter a new all day event in iCal, it disappears right away, but it is still synced to MobileMe. So on my iPhone/iPad, they're all there. but iCal stays "clear"... anyone having the same issue?

Hi,
Have you made sure that Show All-Day Events under iCal's View menu is checked?
Best wishes

All day events on N73

It's great that Nokia N73 syncs with iCal by iSync 2.4, but one thing is very annoying.
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" as it was when I was syncing with Nokia 6680?
iSync 2.4
OS 10.4.9
Another request for Apple and Symbian. Please come up with a way to sync notes on iCal event and To Do with Symbian calenders and tasks...

ical is not syncing All-Day events that run across multiple days from my desktop to icloud. If I select all-day instead of a from/to time the event disappears on my desktop calendar.

Ical limitation with all day events

I fill up my calendar quite a lot with all day events. The space allowed for the events is limited so some events don't show. There should be a stretchable bar to allow visibility or not.
I wonder how to pass on this suggestion to Apple.

Agrr, I couldn't find how to delete this question. As often when i get to ask a question i get the answer. My events don't disappear, they are there and there is a scroll bar that shows when i scroll in the all day event part.

All Day Events ( banner events ) will not show in iCal and Web Cal

I have iCal Server working for the most part. I am having issues with the Web Calendar not showing the all day events that are made in iCal on that group calendar. Non-All Day events show on both the iCal on the client computer and on the Web Calendar. Also events can be added and edited by multiple users.
If I make and all day event on the Web Calendar, it does not show up on the iCal client. If I make an all day event on the iCal client it does not show in the Web Calendar.
I made a banner event on the Webcalendar. One user could see the event in his iCal, I could not. He changed the status to "All Day Event" then the event disappeared from the Web Calendar, and showed up in my iCal.

Same problem here! Apple should really get their act together if they are serious about groupware and their server software; all-day events are a crucial part of a calendaring system!
I wonder if Apple actually use their own software? I can't imagine that they'd let this one go on unsolved for this long

Ical all day events show over 2 days during standard time (Nov-Apr)

Any all day event (either a holiday or an event I have repeating every year like a birthday) I have on my calender during standard time (from November to April) shows over a two day period.
For example, Christmas Eve shows up on Dec. 23 and 24.
I have tried syncing with time zone support on and off. I have tried using the same time zone in a different hemisphere. I had this problem last year and again this year. Once we switch to daylight savings the event show correctly.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the link--seems I'll just have to deal with the Palm/iCal calendaring anomalies. Do these "representation disconnects" have anything to do with the weird behavior of my iCal calendars, now that I've synced my palm data to iCal? Immediately after the original Palm/iCal sync, the calendars came up in iCal with no problem. Once I quit iCal, however, and then re-opened it, the list of calendars had disappeared from the "Calendars" pane to the left of the grid, and all of the events had disappeared as well.
As someone reported elsewhere in this forum, changing the viewing mode (day, week or month) causes the events themselves to reappear, but the "Calendars" pane remains blank.
I had hoped to ditch palm desktop and streamline my calendar /contact--computer/iPhone syncing, but iCal's odd behavior is making me question whether or not it is stable enough to fully rely on.
Is there anything that will make the calendars and events perform more reliably?

Repeating long all-day events not shown in second portion of week view

When I create a long all-day event spanning from a Wednesday to the following Tuesday, I can see it in both the first and second week views that it spans. For example, I created an event spanning from Jan 9, 2008 (Wed) to Jan 16, 2008 (Tue). It is visible in both week views, i.e. from Jan 6-12, and Jan 13-19.
However, when the event is set to be a repeating one, it disappears from the second week view, Jan 13-19. The event is still visible on the Jan 6-12 week view. When the event has its repetition removed, it is immediately visible in the second Jan 13-19 week. There is some bug in the week view that apparently screws up repeating all-day events that do not begin on the week being viewed.
A fix on this would be greatly appreciated. Anyone else notice this?
Everything is normal on the month view.

I have exactly the same problem. I work a 21 week pattern of days off and on over a 17 day period, ending with a random 28 day block. So every 147 days I repeat that 28 day block named "random".
However, when the random block spans to the following month the entry is viewable up to the last day displayed in the month view but step forward to the next month and the entry cannot be seen.
Example: All day event starting on 16th Apr 2008 until 13 May 2008, custom repeat every 147 days (never end), appears in April month view up to May 4th. Step forward to May, which includes from April 28th and nothing is displayed.
Yet if it is not a repeat event it spans correctly!
I'm relatively new to OS X and can't remember for sure but I thought Tiger handled it correctly?
Can anybody confirm this?

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?

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

Some all day events don't show in day view

We are using Leopard server to host iCal with various machines running 10.5.8 Leopard and 10.6.7 Snow Leopard. We have 16 calendars we share under Delegates. Some calendars (on Leo & SL clients) are missing a specific "all day" event in day view but they are there in week and month view. The missing item is the same one across all machines. I've checked delegations but that does not fix it. I'm still doing a survey, but most of the machines missing the events are running SL. Anyone having this experience? Thanks

I take it then you don't have a memory problem. Just to clarify, your events on the calendar are fine, it's just the display
on the home screen where they disappear?
Have you tried a battery pull to reset all options? Pill the battery from the phone while it is ON, leave it out for about a
minute and replace. Leave the system completly reboot 1-2 minutes and see if the problem continues. This is a common fix on these forums.

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

All-Day Events & Month View

When I'm creating a new All-Day Event, it immediately disappears if I'm in month view, but shows up in week or day view. This has never ever happened before... If it helps, I'm noticing that it's happening in events that I'm scheduling in April...
WHY?
Help me fix it, it's necessary for work!
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
So far as I know, an allday event only ever shows a single line of text regardless of view.
Consequently, how much you can see is governed by the width of the day (or days) in that view.
