Duplicate All-Day events in Entourage, iCal and iPhone

When I sync my iPhone calendars at work, I am getting duplicate all day events (ie, birthdays, anniversary, etc). I'm using the Entourage sync services to create an iCal.
Is anyone having a similar problem or solution?
Thanks!

I have had a similar problem with all-day events in Entourage.
So far, I have had to manually delete the unwanted all-day events, but once deleted, they have not come back.
My theory is this: I already was syncing Entourage and iCal even before the iPhone. When I added the iPhone, it added a Calendar called "Entourage" to the iCal. It synced Entourage, my home iCal, my work iCal, and the iPhone to the iCal "Entourage" Calendar, leading to multiple junk. I added an application to my Mac which automatically keeps track of library books I have checked out, and puts the due dates on my iCal. When I added this, I got a whole new round of double all-day events.
You can delete them either in Entourage or in the iPhone, but I have gotten more reliable results doing it in Entourage.
A keyboard shortcut is to point at the event with your mouse and then type {Apple Key} {backwards delete} d
Hope this helps.

  • Problems with mobile me ical all day events sync between desktop and iphone

    I just noticed all of my all day events show up one day earlier on my iphone than what they are on ical on my desktop (which is correct). This includes both subscribed events and one I have entered. Any ideas on a fix, it is rather annoying at this point.

    Hi. Sorry I don't have the answer. Just another person with the same problem. Must be a bug that needs fixing. Thanks for pointing out that the List view works. Although, when I click on the individual diary entries from the list view the event details show up the incorrect date and time. My entries are all 19 hours out. So an entry that should be Monday at 1pm, shows up as Sunday at 6pm. Very annoying.
    Anyone else who can help with this problem?

  • The headteacher has just upgraded his Ipad to I07 and when he goes into the school shared calendar any all day events come out red and then other events on that day are obscured

    The headteacher has just upgraded his Ipad to I07 and when he goes into the school shared calendar any all day events come out red and then other events on that day are obscured as the red covers the whole day

    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.

  • All day events showing in iCal

    Hi,
    I am trying to work out how to get iCal to show more than two (2) 'all day' events in the monthly view? At the moment if there are three (3) all day events in one day, it only shows two of them and then a "..." in the top of that days 'box'. How do I set it so that it shows all of them??
    Thank you.
    BJ.

    Hi Linda,
    Open iCal and from the View menu check that Show All-Day Events is checked.
    Best wishes

  • Duplicate all-day events on calendar

    I noticed that on my iPod Touch calendar, all of my all-day events go on for two days. For example, a person's birthday is showing up as going from Dec. 1-Dec. 2. On my computer's iCal, all of my all-day events look normal. What could be causing this?

    I've had this happen to some of my all day events also. Somehow the events end up going from 11pm to 11pm (instead of 12am to 12am) and thus they span two days.
    I'm still not entirely sure what has caused this. I've also had some of these events (these are mostly recurring events, like birthdays) that have ended up on a different day entirely - June 6 instead of October 31, for instance. In those cases the Recurring Event props got changed from a specific date to 'third Wednesday' or some such.
    I have had to edit manually in Outlook -- if they say 11pm to 11pm, change it to 12am instead. And check the recurring props to be sure they are correct.
    You might also want to check your location settings. I have sort of wondered if this has to do with location as I had it set to Indianapolis (which only started observing DST last year - maybe that isn't factored into the software yet?) and wondered if that is what messed things up, since all day events did shift by 1 hour. I have location set to New York now but can't prove that fixed anything -- I found a few more events messed up today, but then just now remembered to check World Clock, and it was still set to Indy. <shrug>

  • 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:

  • 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 not appearing on iMac,Iphone or web. But does for iPad!

    I have a subscription to 'iTunes on sale' - link below.
    It lists iTunes vouchers that are on sale over a period of days.
    I can see the entries, or all day events, on my iPad calendar, but not on my iMac, iPhone or me.com calendar!
    http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/klq4igoob1gle32fdela5k6dv0%40group.calendar. google.com/public/basic.ics

    I've noticed a similar problem. Previously, "all day" events listed correctly in both iCal (on my Mac) and in the calendar on my iPhone. Now, all day events on the iPhone cover the entire day, set to a time of 12 am to 12 pm.
    I'm not sure if this is related to 10.6.4 or my recent update to iOS4 on the phone.

  • All the events in my MacBook and iPhone are gone!

    For some reason that I don't know, all events in my computer and iPhone are gone and maybe it's related to configuration. Fortunately all these events are still in my cloud at me.com but my fear is that if I synch my computer or mobile phone with me.com, everything in there will be gone too.
    Any suggestions about how to fix this problem?

    Try logging into your computer under your profile, open iTunes and sync the phone.
    I hope this helps...

  • 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 event default time error

    Searched this discussion and others but no help there. When I create an all-day event in iCal (time zone support on, set to America/Los Angeles)it reads as Casablanca, Monrovia when synced to Entourage. Due to corp policy I'm sync'ing with Outlook Exchange server via Entourage, sync'ing Entourage with iCal, iCal with MobileMe and MobileMe with iPhone. All works just fine in regular events ... only all-day events have this incorrect default time zone.
    Any ideas?

    I have the same problem. All day events created in iCal sync to the Exchange server as Casablanca time zone, which I believe is the same as GMT. Events created in Entourage sync without error. Most events created on a PC with Outlook sync fine all the way through to iCal. This seemed to start about the same time as your post, ie sometime around November. Prior to some time in the fall, all day events sync'd properly. I've posted this topic to the mactopia entourage forum but I haven't gotten a response there yet.
    I'm using iCal 3.0.6, Entourage 2004 11.4.0, Mac OS 10.5.6. Any thoughts anyone? Apple?

  • New ical no longer lets you see all-day events without scrolling, can this be changed?

    I have lots of all-day events on my ical, just upgraded to from mobileme to ical and the new calendar does not expand all-day events to allow you to see them all without scrolling.  I really need to see all of them without scrolling through them.  This applies to both the weekly & daily views.  Is there a way to change this?  The previous version allowed you to view them all, I don't call this progress. 

    I understand now - that behavior is annoying under the circumstances you describe, as you clearly want to indicate only a 'delay' in the start date and not necessarily and extension of the end date.
    This is one of those human interface things where they may have considered the behavior, and decided that instantly and automatically maintaining the event duration was the best choice, though a savvy programmer could have likely avoided the issue by testing for a duration of > 1, and changing only those cases where the duration was = 1. Durations of < 1 would not exist, by definition, so it would have been an extremely simple conditional test.
    I don't think that you are actually being too picky: the case you describe is not necessarily the controlling event type, but is highly likely to be encountered [it seems] and therefore should have been accounted for in the manner I described just above, or by some other similar mechanism.
    It's funny how these issues arise: the recently released Entourage single day event definition is different than the one used in iCal, as that team chose to define an all day event as:
    2006-03-15 00:00:00 +0000 for start, and
    2006-03-16 00:00:00 +0000 to end
    While both the iCal event description and the Entourage description might represent the same data points on either a 12 or 24 hour clock, they are clearly not identical, and this 'disconnect' in definitions might cause future problems as both applications push different representations to the truth while describing the same event.

  • 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.

  • All day events in iCal on 3Gs w/ iOS 4.0.2 show up day early in List view

    For some reasons, all day events on my Calendar (iCal synced via MobileMe) are showing up a day earlier on my iPhone, but only when I use List view. They appear fine when I use iCal on my MBP or iMac. This happens with all day events on my calendars and subscribed calendars (e.g., birthdays).
    If I tap on an event in the Day or Month view, the correct date is listed. If I tap on it in the List view, the day before is listed as the date.
    What in the heck is going wrong here?

    I am having the same problem. I have tried different scenarios and it looks like its an issue with syncing from MobileMe. I thought I had it beat when I saw my preferences for in iCal were set to to start at 8AM and end at 6PM. I made it Midnight to Midnight but that did not fix it.
    I am perplexed - has to be a bug!

  • Why is ical automatically setting new events as "all day" events in Lion

    After upgrading to Lion, everytime I add a new event in the Month panel it automatically selects the "all day" checkbox.  It didn't used to do this and it's kind of annoying....anybody else?

    Gustlock,
    Default event creation in Month view results in an all day event.
    Lion iCal Help (Add events to a calendar) says: "Add a new event in Month view by double-clicking within the day you want the event to appear. Enter a name and time duration for the event in the event’s title field, and then press Return."
    So, in your case try entering "Meeting at 9am"...that will create a one hour event named Meeting.
    Lion iCal data detectors are supposed to make entry easier??
