Display of events spanning several days

Hello,
When I create an event (all day) in Outlook spanning several days, after syncing the iPhone shows the entry on every single day.
When I do the same with an appointment which is not "all day" (let's say Friday 17:00 - Sunday 15:00) the iPhone only displays the moment of the start. Is that a bug, desired behavior? Any chance to configure it so that I see the starting point plus an entry for each day that is involved?
TIA!!

I suspect it's a glitch. When I create an event in Outlook as you suggest (today at 1p to Saturday at 6p, for example), I see it on the phone as spanning that whole time, i.e. the event fills part of today, all of tomorrow, and part of Saturday. However, I'm not syncing via iTunes but over-the-air with Exchange.
If you can reproduce this, definitely let Apple know.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Events spanning several days

Hi there,
When I'm adding an event spanning several days (eg a holiday) the dot on month view only displays on the start date. This is quit unhelpful when quickly looking at whether I'm free on a particular day.
Am I missing something? Should I be using the repeat event function rather than extending the event date over several days?
thanks,
Sam

Hi there,
While 'All days' may solve some of those problems, you loose the time information on those events, so it is not usefull for events that go from 3 pm on one day until 5 pm three days later...
There should be a Preference Option to display events over several days in a Month view as an extended bar. I would desperately need this feature especially for calendars that are only imported via subscription... and there it is not possible to 'edit' events and 'All days' events are often not a choice.
Also would be great if there would be a Year View ! (Apple are you listening ?)
If anybody knows of any 'workaround' I would be happy to hear it!
Cheers,
Matthias

My calendar widget shows events from several days ago.

My calendar widget shows events from several days ago instead of displaying the current day's events.

Hi Bernard,
I've also had a few strange errors while making iOS apps - odd popup errors 'like the ones your getting' would appear saying something unrelated to the real issue.
Take another look over your code around the area where you think the error happens, I had a left over 'playdone' command copied across from a large block of code (very sloppy) - anyway it cause the same type of problem
I find It's better to go off the error messages from your dir code on the mac - then the iOS projector errors.

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

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.

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.;~)

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

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.

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

Calendar list does not display all events of the day

Using calendar on iphone 3GS, I've found that if I select the 'list' option then not all the events in my calendar display. It's a pain to have to keep reverting to 'day' option to double check that I'm not missing any events. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it a bug or is there something I can do to correct it?

I have exactly the same problem, I expirienced it today the first time, but I actually do not use the list view often. In the list view, I'm missing quite a lot of events, I first thought it went something wrong with exchange sync and tried around about an hour till I found out, that all events are basically on the phone and also shown in day and month view, but not in the list view.
There seem to be a general problem with the list view, as I found this discussion:

Is there a way of displaying all events in a day in month view on Lion ical. There is when viewing on the cloud (by clicking the bottom RH corner of the day)

The reason beingthat I often want to drag events into the next week so I need to have month view open. But if I can't see them in day view then its impossible to do this.

Sorry. Only after posting did I see that this question has been asked already and the answer given. Please ignore this post.

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.

Events not appearing across event-spanning days in ip 3gs

Can you help pls
I have a 3gs syncing via excange server. seems generally ok but events spanning several days do not appear in the iphone - just the start entry (eg in an event spanning 5 days, just appears in iphone on first day). The full event does appear on teh wbe or exchange version correctly, and the event itself, although not appearing in teh individual days correctly, is correctly entered - if I try to edit the event on iphone it does appear as a 5 day event.
Any ideas please - or wheer can I get help?

same issue here even after 8.1.1
tried on two phones

Ical crashes when event not all day over several days

ical shows event across several days when "all day" box checked. when "all day" box unchecked, and specified times span several days, event only shows on first day?

Yes, Apple any help for this would be great. The only way I've come to work around is to use multiple events. So for a flight out of town would be one event, and the return another. I would create a third event then for the actual time out of town. There must be some way to easily fix this.

Need To Return Calendar Events For Current Day

Hello,
I have a calendar which includes seperate start and end date fields. I need to write a query that will return events for each day in a month, but I need to be mindful of the fact that some events span multiple days. Here is my query so far which isn't working quite right.
<cfquery name="qTodayEvents" datasource="#getDatasource()#">
SELECT eventID, title, summary, code, description
FROM events INNER JOIN eventTypes ON events.typeID=eventTypes.typeID
WHERE deleted=0
AND
startDate >= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayStartTime#" />
AND startDate <= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayEndTime#" />
) OR (
endDate >= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayStartTime#" />
AND endDate <= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayEndTime#" />
) OR (
startDate <= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayStartTime#" />
AND endDate >= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayEndTime#" />
</cfquery>
The query is located inside a loop which loops through the days in a given month.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Any assistance would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Simon

You have to do nested loops - one for the days of the month, and once for the query. It probably does not matter which is nested inside of what. You want your query ordered by EndDate. Then you can do something like this.
ControlDate = Date1;
MaxDate = arraymax(yourquery["enddate"]);
<cfloop condition = ControlDate lt Date2>
<cfloop from = "1" to = yourquery.recordcount index = 1>
<cfif ControlDate >= StartDate and ControlDate <= EndDate>
your code goes here
<cfelse>
break
</cfif>
<cfloop>
add a day to ControlDate
maybe break if the control date is greater than the max date.
</cfloop>

Replicate event for several dates?

Hi,
I'm using the default calendar application in my Nokia E51.
Is there a way to copy an event over several days?
For example:
"Conference 9-17"
on Monday-Friday?
If I select starting date and finish date - the whole days get booked, not only 9-17 each day.
Anybody know how to do this?
Thanks alot!

Events in month view that span multiple days

Hi,
When I enter an event in iCal with a start time at lets say day 1 and an end time at day 3 it shows up as a multiday event in week view, but when I switch to month view it only shows the event and start time at day 1 and not the event at day 2 or day 3 with the end time.
Does anybody know how to overcome this?
THXS Henk

Same here. Though make it an all day event and it spans all day in month view.
Looks like an obscure bug (I'd guess most folks who have events that span more than one day just make them all day events. This is worth a bug report to Apple: http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?linkprocess_@@.3bbae6ea
