Calendar automatically adding alerts to all-day events

When I schedule an all day event in my calendar, the alert fields show 'None.' I also have the default alert in Preferences set to 'None' for all-day events. After I finish scheduling the event and re-open it, the alerts fields are populated! There is an alert set to 1 day before and a second email alert set to 1 day before. I set them back to 'None', close and close the event. When I re-open it, the alerts are back! Maddening! Any suggestions?
By the way, the default alert settings on my iPhone and iPad are also set to none. My calendar account is a gmail account.

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.

Why is every new event I create automatically made into an all day event?

Why is every new event I create on iCal automatically made into an all day event?

Thank you for proving my point brilliantly. For the moment, I shall keep my rantings and the difficulties to myself because you obviously can not handle a bit of user's frustration. Too bad really, that you can not see it as an opportunity to make improvements and be a Hero in the process. I did say that Firefox works much faster, why did you not take that personally as well? ............. Another day, Slick ! ...........

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!

OS5-Issue with reminders/alerts of all-day events

Hi there,
in our company we are used to set up anniversaries and birthdays as all-day events with a reminder at 08.00 AM in Lotus Notes which are synchronized together with individual calendar entries to the Blackberries. After upgrading the first Bold 9000's to OS5, the alerts for birthdays and anniversaries don't go off anymore.
The Calendar entries are configured in Lotus Notes as all-day events with a reminder 8 hours after the start time (In the BB-Calendar these are shown as negative values). In the calendar-overview these entries are on the OS5 devices now shown without the bell-icon. If I open one of these events the reminder is configured with a negative value.
Although it is and was never configurable directly via the blackberry-devices (where you can only set the time the alarm goes off in advance, means positive values) , it always worked with all OS 4.x devices.
But it seems that with OS5 it's not possible to remind this way anymore.
Unfortunately, it's no option to put birthdays and anniversaries at for example 8 o'clock in the morning with a reminder at the same time, because the users don't want to have (sometimes multiple) events within their day schedule.
Could someone please verify that this is a OS issue. The used OS is 5.0.0.681, Lotus version is 8.0.
If this issue persists with all 5.x versions we are forced to downgrade back to 4.x.
Thanks in advance

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 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 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.

To cure the March 2013 monthly Calendar problem I amended my All- Day events for April 1 to timed events on my iPad. Now the Calendar does not load at all on the iPad, but still OK on iPhone 5. Any suggestions please?

In order to cure the problem on my iPad of the month of March 2013 only causing the Calendar to close, I amended all "All Day" events on April 1 to timed events. Now my Calendar will not open, although my Calendar on an iPad 2 and on iPhones 5 & 4 work perfectly. I have tried turning iPad off/on, but no effect. Any ideas please?

I'm having the same issue with my 3rd gen iPad too. I always viewed my calendar in month view. It won't even open since it's stuck on month view.
I've quit the app (properly closing via taskbar) and re-opened - crashes immediatly.
Quit the app and rebooted (via holding home/power buttons until restart) and opened - still crashes immediatly.
Anyone know how I'm able to get access to the app so I can change all day events to timed events in April. Is it just April 1st or all of April? I haven't even opened my iPhones iCal yet to see if it's having the same issue.
Also, not sure if this will work but iCal on my mac wireless syncs my calendar events. I'm wondering if I change April 1st all day events to timed events whether it'll sync and fix the issue of crashing?

Ordering Repeating All-Day Events on the calendar

Is it possible to order a list of all-day events that are repeating on multiple days of a calendar?

If you have iCloud calendars set up on your iPhone, you should have several iCloud calendars. I have Calendar, Work, Home. When you create an all day even put it in one of the calendars. For instance, i would put it in the Calendar calendar. You can select the calendar when entering the event by tapping Calendar label. You can then hide the all day events by tapping the Calendars button located top left on screen (portrait mode), then tap the name of the calendar you used to uncheck. When click done, your all day events will be hidden. Note you will have to rehide the calendar after adding a new all day event.

"All Day Events" Do Not show up in wiki calendar

Hello;
Anyone find out how to solve this problem? I have a 10.5 ical server. Extensive use of calendars both individual and group. Users have access to wiki calendars from ical on their macs. The intention is to allow users of other operating systems to view wiki calendars however none of the all day events display at all on web page/wiki calendar.
Thanks.

Hm, I opened it up in Aperture once, but I recently (re-)arranged all events in iPhoto. I had the full hierarchy in there and did not work in Aperture. I just had to recreate the library and after that the events were gone.

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

All-day events

When I import a calendar from palm desktop, my all day events (banners in Palm) spread out to two day events in iCal. Is there any way to fix this without going day by day and correcting it?

nmeintel,
Welcome to the Forums! I'm afraid I don't use palm but you might try looking here: http://forums.palm.com/palm/board?board.id=macintosh_hotsync
I hope that helps

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.

Day view only displays 6 all-day events

Until the most recent iPhone upgrade, the day view in the calendar displayed many more untimed, all-day events. Now, it seems only to display 6. The rest of my all-day events are only visible in the list view. Is this something new Apple did on purpose, or is my iPhone acting up?

Echoing that. I thought I was the only one experiencing this. It's super annoying, and actually causing me to miss important appointments. Can anyone help? I find myself pining for the next release.

All day events from Google truncated on Pre

An 'all day' event created in Google which lasts more than 1 day will show with the last day of the event missing on the Pre. I just deleted and reset the account (Palm recommend fix) and all the multiple 'all day' events still show one day short on the Pre. However the info in the event details on the Pre indicate the correct date range. Eg: I just created a 4 day event from Nov 4 to Nov 8 on Google. Pre shows Nov 4 to 7 graphically only but with Nov 4 to 8 in the details.
This ONLY happens if the 'all day' event is created on Google first and editing the event on the Pre will not change the incorrect display.
Similarly, if an event is created on my Pre it show's one day short on my wife's Pre because the info was synced from Google, so sharing Google calendars is unreliable when using 'all day' events.
Both Pre's and Google are on same Time zone. Google Accounts and Pre's have been reset with no changes.
Has anyone had this issue and does anyone know of a fix?
Cheers
Emmanuel
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Common issue, and there's no fix. Any multi-day events that you label as "all-day" will not display the last day on the Pre. You can make the last day show up by starting such events at midnight of the first day, and ending them at 1159pm of the last day. Only problem with that technique is that you'll see colored event bars all over any calendar view you choose (instead of the "all-day" event button at the top of a calendar view).
My solution was to use the technique I just described, but since it renders the Pre calendar pretty much useless due to all the bars all over the place, I now use the "Agenda" homebrew app available at Precentral.net. Agenda syncs with the Pre calendar, but it displays events in list form which, if you use my technique, makes events MUCH easier to read. And you'll always show the last day.
Why Palm hasn't fixed this is boggling.
