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?

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

ICal multi-day (not all day) event in Month view not displayed over days

What is it when I have an event that starts on a Wednesday and 4:00pm and goes to Friday at 6:00pm (not clicked as an All Day Event), (in Month view) the only day showing the event is the first day?! Shouldn't it show it over the course of the 3 days!? Outlook does that (I can't believe I just referenced Outlook in an Apple Discussion... in a positive light no less). Is it a setting?

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.

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.;~)

How can you view multi day events in month view without having to check the "all-day" box?

I have multi-day events that I would like to be able to view in the month view. The only way that I have found to do this is to make the event a "all-day" event. Is there another way to view these events in month view, or am I stuck?

It shows multi-day events that are "all-day" events.
But for a non "all-day" event that happens to span multiple days, it only shows the first day

Why won't iCal display multi-day events in month view?

This is frustrating. If someone sends me a calendar event that lasts multiple days from Calendar software that ACTUALLY WORKS (hint hint hint Google Calendar, Outlook), and if I accept this event, it only displays the FIRST DAY of the event in iCal's month view. It should put a solid bar through every date included in the duration of the event. How is it that this has not been fixed yet???

Bug or design flaw?
Try setting it as a recurring event (yeah, I know, it's not a great solution, but it gets the job done)

Multi day events in Month View.

Multi day events in month view only display on the first day. Checking all day event fixes this, but none of my multi day events are in fact all day. If I sync with my iphone, it does mark both days on the multi day event in month view.
In week view they display correctly, but I like to have the month drawn out.
I am surprised to come across this hang up. Other calendars I have used always displayed such events across the month view.
Is this a bug or lack of feature?

With iCal can I hide repetitive events in month view only?

I was wondering if it was possible to hide repetitive events in month view but have them show in week and day views. For instance, I have my class schedule on iCal but I don't want to see it when I look at the month view, I just want to see events that are not repetitive, such as exam/test events. If anyone can help, that would be awesome. Thanks.

jk_baller23,
You could create a separate calendar for repetitive events, and uncheck them when using the day/week view.

Ical cannot create event in month view

iCal cannot create event in month view. Is this a bug?
I've tried double clicking in a day as I always did but nothing.

Ko be,
Application UI issues are in many cases, caused by a corrupt plist file.
Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
Also read Apple iCal 5 Office Software Review | Macworld for a description of Lion iCal.

Can't add an event in month view

I just installed Lion on 3 of my machines (2 iMacs and an air). On my one iMac I am unable to add an event in month view in iCal, I have tried every which way possible to add an event and nothing. However I am able to add event in day and week view. Also, when I go to add an event in month view while I don't get a response on the troubled iMac my other two computers show that and untitled event was added where I was attempting to add the event. Has anyone else experience this problem after installing Lion?

Tim,
Try refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To get to the Library folder use Finder>Go>Depress the "Option" Key and select LIbrary. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop. Then log out/in or restart.

Can I change the way iCal displays events in Month view?

I don't like the way iCal in the new OS displays events in Month view. It's counter intuitive to have the time of the event be at the far right and grayed out. I find myself staring and slowly scanning down the display just to find out when I have to be at an appointment. I wish they had stayed with the other display, not only was it much clearer, it also word wrapped so you could see the entire description. I have blank space at the bottom of the day, and at the same time missing information because of the lack of wrapped text.

Hi Daniel,
The option you have there is to change the calendar of the event (currently the "University" calendar in your screen shot) not the colour. It is the calendars that have colours in iCal not the events.
To change the calendar colour in OSX 10.7:
Click Calendars (in the top-left corner of the iCal window), and select the calendar by clicking its name in the Calendars pop-up list.
Choose Edit > Get Info.
Choose a new colour from the pop-up menu in the top-right corner of the Info window.
To customize the colour, choose Other, and then make your colour selections in the Colours window.
I hope that helps.
Best wishes

Adding event in Month view

Is there a way to go straight to the detail box when adding an event in month view? When I right click on a date on the calendar then choose "add an event", it just puts it right on the calendar, then I click that so I can put the time down, then only the small box opens so I have to click the "edit" so it will open the big the box that has all the options in it.
Does this make sense? Is there a way to right click a day, choose "add an event" and have it go right to the bigger box where you can finish all the details of the event?
Also I saw a reference to the "info sidebar" in the Mac 101 support on the website.
"In the Info sidebar, click the New Event text to display the text box and type a name for your event, like dentist appointment, band practice, or a birthday party."
Where do I find this "info sidebar"?
Thanks all in advance!

rtha,
Just double click on the day that you want to add the event. That action will display the full edit field.
The info sidebar information on the Mac 101: iCal page is in error. It used to exist in the previous version of iCal.
I suggest that you provide: Apple - iCal - Feedback
;~)

I'm getting ... instead of events in Month View?

I notice that instead of some of my events in Month View I am often seeing ... instead, and I have to go to day view and back to get them back. Any ideas on how to stop this? I dont have a lot of events- no more than 4 at the most.

No hidden preference that know of. Maybe if you use week view rather than month view? I think, even with a large window, you won't get more that two all-days in month view.
I don't know if it will influence them, but you should use OS X Feedback to tell Apple of the problem.

Showing more All-Day Events in Month View?

Even with the iCal window maximized, when more than 4 All-Day events take place on the same day, Month View shows "..." instead of the usual All-Day colour bar, even if there's still half the space left in 'box' for that day....
To be clear: it shows the first 4 colour bars for the corresponding all-day events, then "..." at the top to show there are more, you have to switch to Week or Day view to see them
I looked at the plist and can't figure what could be changed.... any tips? It would really be convenient to see the maximum possible number of All-Day events even in Month view.
Merci!

Unfortunately, it appears that this is intentional. The iCal Help file states:
"If you're in Month view and you see three dots (an ellipsis) at the top of the day, there is not enough room to show all the events on that day. To see all the events in Day view, double-click the ellipsis."
I suspect that half of the box is saved for all-day events and half for timed events. On my iMac G3, I get three dots and 3 events, on my G5 with a much larger screen I get three dots and 4 events. If anyone figures out how to alot more space to all-day events, it would be a big help.

All-Day Events in Month View

When I have more than two all-day events (Just one day) that are in different categories in one day, only two show. The others are hidden and you have to open the week or day calendar to view them. When the events are regular events there is not a problem, but I would like to know how to be able to view three all-day events or more from the month view. Is this even possible?

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

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
