Events over multiple days only show on the first day in 'Month' view

Hi,
I've noticed that if I create an event that spans over two days (for example 23 May 2008 at 6 PM to 24 May 2008 at 1 PM) are only displayed on the from date in Month view.
This is unfortunate because if I look at my calendar in Month view, I think I'm free on the 24th, when in fact I'm busy until 1 PM.
Is there a way to get the Month view to display an entry for the event on both days (other than creating one event running from 23 May 2008 at 6 PM to 11:59 PM and a second from 24 May 2008 at 1:01 AM to 1 PM)?

Hi Sam
I just had the exact same problem the other day. I was asked to make an appointment with someone, I checked my calendar (actually on my iPhone) and I looked available that day so agreed and even entered the event. Turns out I will be working 70 miles away on the event I entered on the day prior. I've had the embarrassment of having to reschedule - makes me look disorganised.
The month view on iPhone is just the same as iCal - if it's not an 'all day' event it only shows on the first day. This is poor. I recall even outlook and windows mobile calendar manages to display this sensibly. Apple should be fixing this pronto.

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

Please help me. I've just lost my iphone so I related to my backup contacts on icloud to get my contacts back. But my contacts only show at the first time and then they dissappeared, my contacts was empty. How can I see my contacts?

If they aren't on icloud.com they are no longer in iCloud. If you don't have another backup, I'm afraid they're gone.

Multiday event should span days in month view

Hi all,
I have an event that spans multiple days (begin is Dec 3 @ 12 AM, end is Dec 6 @ 12 AM), but it only appears in one day on iCal's month view. In week view, the event spans all three days.
How can I ensure that an event that spans days +actually visually+ spans the days in month view?
Thanks,
Matthew

Is there not any other way. I to have events that are not actually whole day events but that are spanning mulitple days.

Highlighting multiple days in Month View?

Hello everyone & Happy Friday All !!!
I'm new to this forum, and VERY new to using ical -
Here's my question:
In my old method of using a calendar to do my schedule on my old PC -
I'd make a spreadsheet in MS Excel that would show me monthly views that I could highlight days,
weeks or entire months..... It's crude in comparison to ical, yet it IS effective for my needs......
I am used to highlighting either a single day or a string of days in my "month" view,
so... for example - let's say that Monday thru Thursday of next week I am going to be "out of the office in London - UK" -
I would simply highlight the four days of next week - and instead of leaving those cells "white"
like every other day in the month - I'd change those four cell's colored "fill" option from white to
bright yellow - (or any other color that signifies a specific action or function - like "green" for vacation days, or "blue" for a sick day or surgery, etc....
This way - that at a glance (literally) - I can tell that I'm "out of the office" on those days next week that are colored other than "white"..... NOTE: the ENTIRE CELL - Not Just the Day Title is colored......
(I wish I could insert a visual example of what I am trying to describe here...)
Is there a way of doing this same kind of function in ical - so that I can have an "at a glance" or
"heads up display" that I can see quickly and know I'm committed on those days next week - or
any week or group of days for that matter?
This would help me tremendously of there is a way of doing this...... Otherwise - I'll be STUCK
in the 90's using my improvised Excel Spreadsheet Calendar.....
Thanks in advance for your help

Welcome to the discussions, azstoneconsulting.
In iCal colours are tied to specific calendars, so make a vacation calendar and a sick calendar (you forecast your sickness? Cool) and an out of office calendar and set the colours to whatever colour suits. Then when you are going to be in London select the out of office calendar and set it to last the four days. It will show as a coloured bar across those days in month view.

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.

I have not upgraded to ff 4 but when I now search for an image online it will only show me the first two pages

Then there are seven pages of empty grey squares ( where the images should be ) and scrolling down to the bottom there is a button which has `show more results` written on it, this happens every time I do an image search. I have done the same search using `internet explorer` and there is no problem finding thousands of pages of images.

Finally Ive found a solution !!!!.
Open your browser, click images and search for any image, when the images appear (probably only two pages of them) scroll right to the bottom of the page and click `Switch to basic version`. Problem solved!!!!!!.

TZ of Day/Week/Month View is US/Pacific - Info Box & System TZ US/Eastern

Just noticed this - don't think its been happening for long - probably a couple of days at the worst.
When I create a New Event, the Time Zone is automatically incorrectly set to US/Pacific. I change it to Eastern (via Info Box) and it displays in the Info Box as Eastern, but the Daily/Weekly/Monthly view seems to remain at US/Pacific. (System prefs set to Eastern TZ).
In addition ALL my events display in Day/Week/Month view as US/Pacific TZ, even tho Info Box TZ (and system TZ) is US/Eastern.
For Example: Info box says event starts at 5PM goes to 9PM, Time Zone is US/Eastern. Calendar Display in Day, Week or Month shows event from 2PM to 6PM.
This has affected every one of my events.
I am running OSX 10.4.9,build 8P135 iCal Version 2.0.5 (1069)
iCal Support for Time Zones turned On.
Date/Time System Preferences appear to be OK
System Time (measured by Menu Clock and verified by save time on a file) is OK - (Am writing this at about 2:40PM EST, Sunday 6/3/2007.

It was US/Pacific -
I just changed it to US/Eastern and everything seems to work correctly now. I never even noticed that setting before - I guess I may have reset it by accident?
I see you're from Bristol, UK. A friend told me a few hours ago that he has to make a business trip there sometime this summer and was thinking about bringing his family (from Boston, USA). We were not too clear on English geography tho - is Bristol a decent family vacation destination?

When I run the cursor over a template it shows several pages but when i select the document it only brings up the first two pages to edit. How do I see them all?

Skimming the templates in the Template Chooser shows you all of the pages available in the template once you open it. You can insert the one(s) you want, even more than one of any of them. Most users don't want or need all of the different pages, especially when they start the document.

IPad deleting single events over 30 days old

I just noticed tonight that my iPad has been deleting non-recurring events over 30 days old. I'm syncing over MobileMe, and all the old events remain there and in my Mac iCal calendars just fine, so the data is OK. However, syncing with MobileMe will not return the old events to my iPad's calendar.
I've tried turning off Calendars for MobileMe syncing in the Settings area, and then turning it back on to refresh/restore, but it still only brings in all old recurring events and non-recurring new events within the last 30 days.
When syncing with iTunes, there's an item in the Info tab area to force a push of the calendars on the Mac to the iPad, and an option to limit how far back you want the sync to grab the old data. I've tried that, and did successfully get the old data back onto my iPad, however, now I have multiple/multicolored Home calendars cluttering my iPad. I can selectively turn some off, but that doesn't resolve the issue, since it's a one-time event, and over the next 30 days new non-recurring events are going to be daily deleted. Additionally, since I merged the Home calendars when it asked me to decide what to do, I now have multiple Home calendars listed in iTunes which duplicates what gets copied every time if I choose to do this again. I can't find any way to clean up the iTunes bug, since it's clearly not just re-reading my iCal events, which remain OK.
Is anyone else observing this calendar behavior with their iPad? My iPhone 4's old data is all there, as it's supposed to be, so this issue may be resolved down the road with an iOS update for the iPad. I can't find any setting to assure my MobileMe syncing brings in all my old non-recurring events (which I need for on-the-go checks back on old events).
I guess I'm just looking for anyone else who can confirm their non-recurring events are disappearing after 30 days.
Thanks for listening...

On your iPad, go to settings and then Mail, Contacts, Calendars and see what you have the sync option set for under calendars. You have different options to choose from, and I would think that yours is set for 1 month. To get rid of all the duplicate calendars on the iPad, just turn off mobile me syncing, which will delete all the calendars on the iPad, and then turn it back on and you should be good to go.

Can I create an event over many days with one data entry form?

My client goes bicycle riding every Tuesday.
He'd like to be able to create one event (Bicycle riding) and have it show up on his website as an upcoming event over many days.
Rather than creating 52 entries for one year (52 Tuesdays) is there an easier way to associate one event with multiple dates?
Thanks

There is nothing worse than switching a client to Business Catalyst and having to tell them that they have to give up features that they were using in their older sites. Most Wordpress plug-ins are available at no cost. Business Catalyst does not have a plug-ins option. So when you claim a feature, such as an event calendar, it needs to have the necessary functionality to make it useful for a customer.
Installation of Wordpress calendars is not difficult. Even the free Google Calendar has recurring events.

Changing the default event time to all-day in Month View?

I updated to Mavericks today, and when I went to add an event to my Calendar, I discovered that all-day was not the default time. In Mountain Lion, when going to add an event in Month View, it was automatically set to all-day, which is perfect because all of my events are all-day events. Now, it's being set to 9:00 to 10:00, and I have to check the box to make it all-day. I know that this isn't much work, but when I'm adding dozens of events it starts to get a little annoying.
Calendar 7.0, OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

npatelaz,
I don't think that it is possible, even using Terminal. If you want to change your workflow, "all day" events can easily be created in the Day/Week view, but as you stated the Month view poses a problem.
Calendar Help says:
To make:
An event that lasts all day:
In Day or Week view, double-click in the “All-day” section at the top of the calendar.
An existing event last all day:
In Day, Week, or Month view, double-click the event, click the date, then select “All-day.”
A multiday event:
In Week view, drag from the start time to the end time. You can drag across multiple days.In Day or Month view, create an event. Then, enter the start and end dates and times.
An all-day event into a multiday event:
In Week view, drag the all-day event across multiple days.

Create events over multiple time zones

Hello again,
How do I create events over multiple time zones? For instance, a plane leaves on GMT time zone and lands on GMT+5.
If iCal doesn't allow this, what is your suggested approach in this case?
Thanks in advance!

You're right, iCal doesn't allow this.
I just add the abbreviation for the timezone at the end of the title. For example: "AA Flight 407 - CDT", keeping in mind that the block of time for that event showing in iCal is always in that time zone.
It's not ideal, but it works for me.

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

Calculating Elapsed time over multiple days

Hello Community!
I am creating a logbook for our aircraft and attempting to correctly use the DUR2HOURS function to calculate flight times. DUR2HOURS does a great job of converting take off and landing times into decimal format but runs in to trouble when take off is late on one day and landing is on the next day. For example: Takeoff at 21:00 and landing at 01:00 gives a large negative number. I am using the very basic formula =DUR2HOURS([ldg time]-[takeofftime]) I realize that my equation will not work when we land on the next day. How can I modify my formula to correctly calculate a duration over multiple days? Thanks in advance for your help!

if you enter the complete date and time then this should still work:
format the depart and arrival times:
You can then sum the durations as:
C13=SUM(C)
Rows 1 is a header and row 13 is a footer
