How do I disable all-day events in iCal?

For some reason, when I run iCal it'll always show all-day events regardless of how I turned it off. Given that I'm not a fan of defining an event as all-day, this is very annoying, as it pushes down my calendar and plops an annoying bar at the top that I need to manually remove. Preferences don't seem to show anything useful and google seems full of people trying to sync all-day events to various and sundry mobile phones, which isn't what I want; iCal's help is sparse as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks! =)

ah yes, the default view shows all-day events every time you launch the application, no way around that, and it looks like a minor "bug". you may want to send feedback to apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html
hope this helps

How do you disable all-day event notifications?

I've already read the various threads about the issues with all-day events disappearing from the Today view and only appearing in the Notifications. However, I am having an issue when trying to disable all-day event notifications. I currently use my all day events from my work calendar (Lotus Notes 8.5) that is synched to my phone. I have disabled the "Notify Me" option within Lotus Notes and changed the default all day event notification on my phone to "None". The problem is that this has not disabled any all day event notification and I still get notified every night at midnight for the event. This didn't happen on iOS 6 or any of the iOS 7 beta versions. Is this something that can be fixed? Thanks!

the Automation quick access should be off by default. I don't think this is what will do it for you, but here is a description of it, Page 320 of the manual
Automation Quick Access
This feature makes Track Automation extremely fast and simple if you only have one hardware MIDI controller available (one fader on your MIDI keyboard, or maybe just the Modulation wheel). You can use this single hardware controller to access (and automate) the currently visible Automation parameter of the selected Track in the Arrange window.
since it is midi messages that you do not want to send from your controller, I think you need to go to song settings an filter out incomming midi messages. File>song settings>midi>imput filter
but really any messages being sent should only effect the channel you are playing. I am assuming you are playing one of logics instruments for live performance.

How do I control the order of all day events in iCal?

How do I control the order of all day events in iCal? Even if I painstakingly try to
re-order the events the way I want them, when they print, they are in a different order.
I have searched other forums and no one seems to have an answer to this. Has
anyone found the solution? Thanks!

I also have this issue, where the events in iCal change when viewing in print preview or printing. I even notice they will switch if I try to print again??!!! I am using different calendars to show different colours. and they are setup on iCloud not on my mac.
it is becomign frustrating when I print 2 months worth and ssome events are correct in order and alas some will change when I print again!
Can anyone help please?
thanks

All-day events in iCal become 2-day events on iPhone

Since I updated to 1.1.2, all my all-day events in iCal become 2-day events on the iPhone. Has anyone else had this problem? I can reset the end time on the iPhone, but I have lots of recurring monthly events and it would take forever to do this manually.

I have the very same issue. I solved it once somehow but now it's back. I use Plaxo to sync between Outlook-iCal-iPhone and maybe that somehow has confused the phone. Let me know if you find any solutions. I will do the same.

All day events - synching ical with Symbian S60

I guess this must have come up before.....
I cannot find a way of synching all-day events on iCal with my E90. iSync will not sync iCal all-day events across to the E90, just seems to ignore them. I thought I'd be clever and enter all-days as memos on the E90. Fine when it syncs to iCal - they come across OK as all-days in iCal but, when I sync again, the memos get deleted from the E90. Most strange.

I have the same issue on all day events synced from Exchange. The items look fine in the day or month view.

All day event in iCal

I am trying to add an 'All day event' in iCal (have tried on the MacBook Pro and iPhone4) for the 7/10/11. This keeps saving over 2 days the 6/10 and 7/10, even if I change the date manually, after saving it reverts back to both days. Have done plenty of other all day events with no issues, not sure why this one is not working.... Any ideas?

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.

Can't add all-day events in iCal w/Lion

After Lion 10.7.1 upgrade, I can add an all-day event in iCal on my MacBook but not on my MacBook Air. On the Air an event added with no time just does not appear. On the Air an event added with a time appears, but editing the event and checking the "all-day" box causes the event to disappear.

>>Who'd have thought this was optional?
Again... S. Jobs apparently thinks its optional.
Devolution...like many things in Lion.

How do I get all day events to show back up in my notification center after iOS8 update?

I have a iPhone 5, with iOS 8, 16GB
OK, none of my calender events are showing up in my notification center, and I have all type's of events on my calender, I have tried going in to my settings < then notifications < then calender < now, on this screen it shows that I am allowing notifications, so I went to upcoming events < and everything on this screen is on, I don't know what to do. How do I fix this? Can someone please help me?

Unfortunately, iOS 7 and iOS 8 do not show All-day-events in the Notification Centre.
Try to do a search within the forums or just google it and you will see that this is how ios7 and 8 have been designed from the start, and a major issue in my opinion.

How to display an "All Day Event" date correctly in an integrated SSRS Report?

I have two event items in a calendar list in SharePoint 2010. Both items have the same start time and end time. One of them, however, has the "All Day Event" checkbox checked. If I access them through a REST service, this is how the data is
returned:

<d:StartTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-21T00:00:00</d:StartTime>
<d:EndTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-25T23:55:00</d:EndTime>
<d:AllDayEvent m:type="Edm.Boolean">false</d:AllDayEvent>

<d:StartTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-21T00:00:00</d:StartTime>
<d:EndTime m:type="Edm.DateTime">2014-03-25T23:59:00</d:EndTime>
<d:AllDayEvent m:type="Edm.Boolean">true</d:AllDayEvent>
I have a report in the same SharePoint 2010 site that uses SSRS in integrated mode. The data source is the calendar list mentioned above. The date fields are not formatted, just displayed as them come from the list/database.
My locale is set to en-US. When I run the report, the start date for item 1 is displayed as "3/21/2014" ('all day' set to false) but the start date for item 2 is displayed as "3/20/2014" which is incorrect ('all day' set to true).
I did some research online and found out that SharePoint stores all date fields as UTC except for 'All Day Events', which are stored in local time (our servers are in Central Time, but I'm running the report fom Pacific Time, in the US).
I coudn't find a solution to display the date correctly in the integrated SSRS report. Is there a way, maybe some straightforward formatting, to show All Day Event dates correctly? I tried adding hours but this is inconsistent with daylight saving hour changes.
I would appreciate any help.
C#, Sharepoint

Hi SharpBud,
The date for all day event stored in SQL in GMT time, the start time for an all day event returns the start time in GMT time, which is not the current time most likely.
This is a confirmed issue, as a workaround, I would suggest you to use a calculate column for the event for the column, using the following format:
IF(TEXT(([End Time]-[Start Time])-TRUNC(([End Time]-[Start Time]),0),"0.000000000")="0.999305556",IF([Start Time]=ROUND([Start Time],0),[Start Time],DATE(YEAR([Start Time]),MONTH([Start
Time]),DAY([Start Time])+1)),[Start Time])
Thanks,

How do I expand the view of all day events in iCal?

I am unable to find an answer to this question any where. Is it possible to expand the area in iCal where all day events appear in the day and week views?

Did you ever get an answer on this? I can see everything in the DAY view but need to see the all day events in the week view. I have events that start on say the 15th and run to the 21st. I've started putting the end date in the location field but it was so much nicer when the all day even portion expanded to allow you to see all of them without having to scroll. Having to use the DAY view makes it really hard to schedule. Any chance this will change in the new version?

No all-day events in iCal

Hello everyone,
I am experiencing some kind of bug in my Mavericks 10.9.2 iCal, where is field for all-day events completely empty. So no birthday or other events.
Of course, the calendar account is checked and online, calendar is checked, birthdays are enabled....
I tryed to disable accounts and enable again, and some other things, but with no success.
Any idea how to fix that ?
Thank you,

OK, forget that. The iCal was some king of stacked. I deselected ical>view> unselect "show all day events" and closed the iCal, then opened that and select it again to make it work.

Opening and ordering all-day events in iCal

I only use all-day events. When I hit Command-N, it is completely random (so far as I can tell) whether an all-day or a scheduled event field appears. Is there some way to make the default for Command-N be an all-day event field? Also, how can one order the all-day events? They seem to place themselves randomly in the list and change order from day to day.

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!

"All-day" events in iCal appear one day early in week-view on iPad

Just got an iPad and synced with iCal. I noticed that "all day" events appear correctly in day-view and month-view, but in week-view, they are shifted one day earlier. But if I choose to edit such an event, the information is still correct, e.g. an all-day event for Monday, May 31 and Tuesday, June 1, has that information, and it appears on Monday and Tuesday in day- and month-view, but in week-view, it has "slid left" such that it appears on Sunday and Monday. Anyone else seeing this? Any solutions?

Yosemite - strange behavior for all-day events in iCal

I have been using previous versions of MacOS with my corporate exchange server for quite a while with no issues. After the upgrade to Yosemite i have found an odd behavior with inserting all-day events into the exchange calendar. Same results on MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, both worked fine with Mavericks and now have this issue with Yosemite
My previous workflow was to double click in the upper bar in calendar, open an event in the all-day area, type in what I wanted to say, select the exchange calendar from the pull down (I have multiple calendars) and the event was done.
Now when I do this when I switch the event to the exchange calendar I get this error message:
If I select OK the event is then transformed to a 12:00-1:00 meeting and a note is added to the notes that the time zone isn't right
Note: the meeting does go into the calendar in Pacific time (my default) and I can edit the event back to an all-day and remove the junk from notes and it stores away like it should. But this is quite annoying
Any suggestions
