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.
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iCal v2.0.4 (1055)

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.;~)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • All-day events across multiple days

    Okay, this is a very specifc question about a very specific situaiton, but I am curious to know what is going on. When I have an all-day event scheduled for one day in iCal and I sync it with my phone (Motorola v551) it shows up as a nice little note at the top of my calendar on my phone. When I have an all-day event scheduled across multiple days in iCal it shows up as an actual event across all the hours of the day for as long as I have it scheduled on my phone.
    I have discovered a work-around by taking that one-day, all-day event and having it repeat the number of days of the event, but it just doesn't look right in iCal.

    The calendar on your phone likely doesn't support events that span mutiple days. The solution of a repeating event is the correct answer.

  • 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.

  • 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
    iMac 20" MacIntel   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2GHz/512/250/SD/ATI/Airport X/BlueTooth

    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.

  • 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.

  • Problem with all day events on iPad calendar spanning multiple days instead of one

    I'm having an issue editing all day events on my iPad calendar. If I reschedule an event to the following day, it now spans the two days instead of just one.
    The issue only happens on my iPad. I can reschedule appointments on my iPhone without any problems. Date and time zone are set correctly.

    I experience the same when we subscribe on calendars (ICS) from Exchange. Been testing on two iPads 3 (6.0.1). The strange thing is that everything work as normal on my iPhone 4S (6.0.1). The timezone is correct and the all same on all three devices (default setting).
    The meeting details (fetched live from Exchange) is also naturally the same. Far as I can see, this applies only the on iPads?

  • 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.

  • One multiple day event won't show in month view

    I have noticed that every time I launch iCal an event (checked for all day event) beginning 9/1 and ending 9/4 will not show up in the month view until I open that day (and it's there) click it and then it will show up as a banner event. If I close iCal it goes away.
    I have other all day events spanning multiple days that don't appear and vanish.
    Any ideas what can be causing this? I don't want to schedule something way in advance and then forget it's there because it's vanishing.
    Thanks.

    Hi David,
    The way this is implemented by iCal is a choice of the developer. You can send comments about iCal to Apple through this page http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ .
    Alternatively, you could make the events into all day events. They would then show on all the dates in month view.

  • 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>

  • Multiple day events showing on month view

    Hi, Anyone know how to make events that span multiple days show up on the monthly view? In week view it will color all of the days, on monthly it is only listing it on the first day of the event. The only way I've gotten it to go across is if it is listed as an "all day event", but then the start and stop times dont show.
    Thanks for the help!

    You either need to use the "All Day Event" option or make copies of each invididual event.
    E.g., if you are at a 3 day convention and each day the program is from 8 am to 3 pm, first create a single event that has those start/stop times. Then manually copy that event for the other 2 days. Each event will show up in month view (and you could probably change the event name to "Day 1", "Day 2" etc.).
    FWIW, I would just use the "All Day Event" option for those kind of events.

  • Use multiple day event in Calendar region

    I am using a Calendar region in my application. One issue i have run into is, some of my events are multiple-day events, such as a conference. The calendar application does not seem to be able to deal with multiple-day events. It takes one date as the date. There doesn't seem to be any way of dealing with multiple day events. In my case, I have 2 date fields in my table associated with my calendar - a starting date, and an ending date.
    Has anyone found a way to deal with this situation? I don't want to have a separate entry for each date of the event. I'd like to be able to use my start date, and ending date fields.
    Thanks,
    John

    Scott,
    I took the SQL you used in your trigger and substituted my table names and fields. I am getting 3 errors. Here is what my code looks like after the substitutions (my table names are 'meetings_tbl' and 'meetings_tbl_cal'):
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER ai_meetings
    AFTER UPDATE OR INSERT ON meetings_tbl
    FOR EACH ROW
    DECLARE
    l_date_diff NUMBER;

    DELETE FROM meetings_tbl_cal WHERE m_id = meetings_tbl.m_id;
    END IF;
    l_date_diff := meetings_tbl.meeting_end - meetings_tbl.meeting_start;
    FOR x IN 0..l_date_diff
    LOOP
    INSERT INTO meetings_tbl_cal
    (m_id, meeting_date)
    VALUES
    (meetings_tbl.m_id, TO_DATE(meetings_tbl.meeting_start + x));
    END LOOP;
    END;
    I am getting 3 errors:
