All day events, text is cut off

I'm making a calendar to hand out to my ski team, and on certain days they need to tell us if they can or cannot go to the next ski race, so i've been trying to put a reminder as an all day event in, because it doesn't have a specific time that it needs to be done by, and because reminding them to do this takes a few words, and all of the words at the end get cut off... so i can't get my point across, how do I allow my entire all day event to take up more than one line, in the calandar view??

For different reasons, I have the same question, i.e., can an all day event be made to wrap around to more than one line in a monthly calendar?
Alternatively, can I make an event without a time included in the print out?
I'm trying to make a genealogy calendar that includes the date, year and place of births and deaths. Obviously, such events would not include a time of day...or at least not times that I would know.
Narwhales...did you ever figure out a work around?

Why are my "all day" events and birthdays suddently off by one day in my calendars?

Is this a bug in the apple upgrade that came out last night?

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.

ICal All Day Events One Day Off

Once again, I am unable to use my Calendar... This time because any All Day event, subscribed or synced from gmail, are one day off. Seems like a problem that has been around for some time but I just ran into on an update to iOS-5. Any ideas? Switching the dates on all of my other calenders to fit the iPhone problem is not an option.
Also, no fix on 5.0.1

I just upgraded from Blackberry to iPhone 5. Have Outlook on work computer, and Enterprise server. I also have calendar issues, with all my all-day events showing up one day early. I have years of data, so I can't go back and change it all manually. Have tried turning Time Zone Support on and off, with no change. The manually set zone is correct. Any help would be appreciated.

TS3999 In the last week when changing text notes in outlook appointments or all day events, the changes appear on my pc screen, iphone & ipad but when I print the changes are not there, the old text prints that has been deleted

In the last week when changing test notes in Outlook appointments or all day events, the changes appear on my PC, Iphone & Ipad, but when I print my calendar they do not print. I get the old text or deleted text from the printer copy of my calendar. What is going on?

Thanks Sig. The information is here: Anything useful stand out?

Changing the deafult reminder time on Outlook All Day Events without turning off reminders

Hi All,
This has been something that has bugged me for years but now even more so I (and my colleagues) have work phones linked with exchange. I am tired of being woken up at 6am the day before an all day event has been set in my calendar.
I have multiple people update my calendar and the reminder time is not always cleared on an all day event. I (and others) want to keep a default reminder time set as it is a useful addition to the majority of calendar appointments, but for the life of me I
can't fathom out how to change the default 18 hour reminder time that is set on All Day events.
I have never understood why MS have made this reminder time set to eighteen hours, which means that the reminder always goes off at 6am, before the majority of office people wake.
We currently use Outlook 2007, but will probably update to 2010 in the foreseeable future.
If this can't be set in Outlook (?!?!?) can it be forced as an administrative policy?
ChrisChris

Hi Chris,
This has been asked for before, but there are no current plans to change the default of "18 hours" or to allow a means to modify the value.
As a workaround, you can use code in a macro, script, COM Add-in, etc. to reset the Reminder time to something more adequate to your needs.
DISCLAIMER: The code is provided only as a courtesy to our customers. It is not supported in any way by Microsoft.
Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
Dim calFolder As Outlook.Folder
Dim items As Outlook.items
Dim appt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Dim i As Integer
Set oApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set calFolder = oApp.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
Set items = calFolder.items
For i = items.Count To 1 Step -1
If items.Item(i).Class = Outlook.olAppointment Then
Set appt = items.Item(i)
If appt.AllDayEvent = True Then
If appt.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 1080 Then '1080 = 18 hours X 60 minutes
appt.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 60 '60 minutes
appt.Save
End If
End If
End If
Set items = Nothing
Set calFolder = Nothing
Set appt = Nothing
Set oApp = Nothing
I have emailed the Outlook Feature Requests alias on this. This is monitored directly by the
Outlook Product team. Additionally, you can call in and open a support incident regarding this issue and we can investigate this further.
Hope that helps!

ICal + iPhone + Exchange 2003 + Outlook 2007 + "all day" Events 7 hours off

Whenever an ALL DAY event is created on either the iPhone or iCal when the event is synced thru Entourage and into the Exchange Server and into Outlook 2007 the appointments are off -7 hours which I believe works out to GMT with Daylight savings time kicked in. Times are correct in Entourage. Correcting the time (making it an ALL DAY event) in Outlook 2007 and the resulting re-syncing does not impact Entourage, iCal or the iPhone. Since iPhone is syncing via iCal as the first step, I believe the issue is with iCal no the iPhone.
Time Zone Support is OFF on iCal and the iPhone.
iPhone updated to 1.0.1
iTunes updated to 7.3.2.6
iCals ver 2.0.5.1069
Vista Premium and Outlook 2007 Fully Patched
Thanks

This had no impact on the problem. I have confirmed that this is an issue with iCal and not the iPhone. An all day appointment on for example August 15 created in iCal shows up correctly in Entourage syncing to an Exchange Server. However, when the appointment propogates to Outlook 2007, the All Day event now displays as from 7:00 pm August 14 to 7:00 pm on August 15.
Time Zone support has no impact regardless of setting on iCal.
Close inspection of the Event in Outlook shows ALL DAY is selected but the greyed out times are from 7 to 7 as described above.

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".

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.

AppleScript to make All-Day Events?

I'm new at this, so forgive the question if it's obvious. I routinely import a calendar using Outlook2Cal from a Windows machine to iCal 2.0.3 on my PowerBook. It works fine, but All-Day events in Outlook show up in iCal as starting at 12:00 AM the first day and ending 12:00 AM the next day.
The company that makes Outlook2Mac says that's a bug that they hope will be fixed eventually.
In the meantime, is there a way AppleScript could find all the entries that, say, start at 12:00 AM and automatically check off the "All-Day Event" button?

Hi Roger,
This is fairly straighforward in Applescript. You could try something like the script below. Depending on the number of events in the calendar it's possible this could take time. The script should let you know when it's done.
Just in case you don't like the result. Backup, just in case. In iCal go to File>Back up Database... and save your calendars.
--Copy blue text into Script Editor (Applications > Applescript > Script Editor) , press Run and follow prompts. If you are happy with the results you could save it as an Application.
tell application "iCal"
-- Select calendar
set myCal to first calendar whose title is (item 1 of (choose from list (title of (every calendar) as list) with prompt "Choose calendar"))
-- Loop through events
repeat with myEvt in events of myCal
-- Get start & end times of event
set {startTime, endTime} to {start date of myEvt, end date of myEvt}
-- Check start and end hours & mins
set hoursAndMins to {hours of startTime, minutes of startTime, hours of endTime, minutes of endTime}
-- See if start and end time are midnight, if so set to all day.
if hoursAndMins is equal to {0, 0, 0, 0} then set allday event of myEvt to true
end repeat
display dialog "Done all day events"
end tell
Best wishes

Organise all day events - iCal

I woud be so much happier if I was able to use the appearance or All Day Events in iCal but with the time event also. I prefer the All Day Event block colours, don't like the little round dot colour at all!! I need to print the monthly calncar off for a team of carers to view and they would like to see 'their colour' in order of time of shift! They are so randomly entered into the calander and I am unable to move them around, so a carer working from 7am-9am, colour green, is actually showing as the last shift on the day. This is most unsuitable. I have tried entering each one in order, but that too is not working - can anyone help? Thanks. SM

I really thought someone would be able to help me with this one - I am surprised! I'd wondered if perhaps I should go with the different coloured dots and tabs with the events being timed so that at least they appear on the monthly view in order - but am now condsidering if I can change the text colour to match the calendar colour - any ideas?

Yosemite All-Day Events Calendar

With the recent upgrade to Yosemite (OS X 10.10) I can not see all of my ALL-DAY events, of which I often have many, in Calendar. The "day view" seems to cut off the ALL-DAY events after a certain number, forcing you to scroll down to see the rest. This prevents you from being able to see the whole day at a glance.
This is easily one of the most important and frequent uses I have using the Mac on a daily basis and it seems like a very strange design flaw.
I wonder if anyone has come across a workaround to fix this extremely annoying issue.

I have the same proble. In all views all day events don't show up. If I search for the event, there is a result but it does not appear in the calendar.

How can I print multiple lines in my All Day Events (month view)?

Does anyone know if there is anyway to print multiple lines for all day events? When I print my iCal from a monthly view, my all day events (positioned as a header) only print the words that can fit into the daily box, instead of going into multiple lines and displaying the whole text.
For example:
Los Angeles County Fair, Don't forget to pick up John and Jen
will print as:
Los Angeles County Fa......Jen
Anyone have any idea how to solve this?
P.S. I have already tried meddling with fonts and page sizes to no avail.

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.

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(/</g,
"<");
    str = str.replace(/>/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?
