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

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.

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.

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.

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.

How to share projects/events across multiple users

what's the best way to share projects and events for multiple users on the same computer?
i want to be able to open fcpx in one user account and have access to all events and projects that i have access to as another user. basically, fcpx should look exactly the same in both accounts.

Welcome User in OTN,
to make two projects can access its classes you should goto the project property ---> Dependencies then add the other project.
in your case:
try to goto you Model project property ----> Dependencies ---> Edit Dependencies .
you will find your ViewController project. Expand it thin check to Build Output.
you can make this for ViewContoller project also as:
goto you ViewContoller project property ----> Dependencies ---> Edit Dependencies .
you will find your Model project. Expand it thin check to Build Output.

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.

Changing colors for days in month view

My work schedule fluctuates so that I don't work the same days every week during a month. Is there a way I can change the color of some of the days in month view so that I can quickly see my work days in ical?

Nokia E71 Calendar Memos across multiple days

Hello,
I recently got a German Nokia E71
(E71-1 Software Version: 100.07.76 08-06-2008).
I noticed a strange behavior of the calendar:
When I create a memo that goes across multiple days (lets say 10 days or 14 days) In Month view the memo is shown correctly for the set time. Also when synchronizing with MS Outlook the memo is shown correctly on the PC.
But when you open the Memo directly (open day view, select the memo and press the center of the nav-key) then the memo is displayed to last one day longer than originally specified.
For example I created a memo that should end on the 11th of September (actually it starts in August so maybe spanning the Month barrier may also cause the problem) but it is shown to end on September 12th when I open it. Although it is shown correctly in Month view (shown on 11-Sept, not shown on 12-sept).
Maybe you have similar experiences?
Or an explanation for that behavior?
Thanks and regards,
Sebastian

I think I'm experiencing the same thing, Sebastian.
Phone: E71 bough from 3 in the UK ~20months ago.
Firmware: 100.07.76 08-06-2008 RM-346 E71-1 (241.02)
Here's how it happens:
Step 1) I create a memo on the calendar with the phone.
Step 2) I do an Ovi sync over the air (i.e. there is no use of the PC Suite or Microsoft Outlook going on).
Step 3) Some (but not all) of my single day memos are spread over two (2) days.
How it should look when correct: http://tinyurl.com/ovi-cal-memo-right
How it actually looks when wrong: http://tinyurl.com/ovi-cal-memo-wrong
As you can see in the 'wrong' example, instead of memos showing up as lasting for 1 day duration it's apparently "23 hours, 59 minutes" in duration, and ends on 18/07/2011. And yet it's spread over the 18th and 19th on the month view. The correct date (as entered and displayed on my phone) is actually the 19th! The same goes for all those other 'wrong 2-day memos': they should all only be shown on the second of the two day bar that's visible in month view.
At the moment, for some unknown reason, the problem seems confined to April-October of this year (and subsequent and prior years) and dates are stretched back by a day so they appear on the web version of the Ovi calendar as lasting for two (2) days instead of one (1). But I think that the problem has been more widespread and across-the-board in the past, and it may have put dates forward by an aditional day (although I can't be sure on that.
Thankfully, all these memos remain as correct on the phone and seem to be unaffected by the sync.
When it first happened I made an attempt to correct the Ovi Web Calendar memo sync problem before (thinking it was a once only bug) by going through all the Ovi calendar entries on the web interface and tidying things up that way. But I'm not prepared to go through all that hassle again.
It's a real niggle, to say the least.
What can be done?
Thanks for any help.

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

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.

How to identify a user across multiple pages

Hi,
I'm doing a homebanking and I would like to know how to identify a user across multiple pages.
I have already take a look at HTTPSESSION, but I didn't understand.
Can someone help me.
I'm send the servlet Logon.
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class Cons_logon extends HttpServlet
     private Connection conexao = null;
     Login1 login1;
     public void init (ServletConfig cfg) throws ServletException
          super.init(cfg);
          try
               Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
               conexao = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:bank");
          catch (Exception e)
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
     public void doPost (HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
          String Suser, Spassword;
     PrintWriter out;
          res.setContentType("text/html");
out = res.getWriter();
String opcao = req.getParameter("log");
Thanks

I would recommend using the authentication mechanism that's guaranteed by the servlet spec. If you do that, you can just call
request.getRemoteUser()
to get the user name across multiple pages.
If you want to use your own login scheme, you can create a new session object and map it to a user name somewhere in your app. Or you can just put the name of the user on the session. But the preferred way is to use the default authentication scheme defined by the spec.

Calendar list does not display all events of the day

Using calendar on iphone 3GS, I've found that if I select the 'list' option then not all the events in my calendar display. It's a pain to have to keep reverting to 'day' option to double check that I'm not missing any events. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it a bug or is there something I can do to correct it?

I have exactly the same problem, I expirienced it today the first time, but I actually do not use the list view often. In the list view, I'm missing quite a lot of events, I first thought it went something wrong with exchange sync and tried around about an hour till I found out, that all events are basically on the phone and also shown in day and month view, but not in the list view.
There seem to be a general problem with the list view, as I found this discussion:

ICalendar: How do I know what day, in month view, I am working on?

The calendar in Mavericks is so frustrating compared to SL. How do I know what day, in month view, I am working on? There is no highlight or box or anything. Am I missing something? Also I suppose its not possible to just see 1 month anymore like it use to be instead of seeing 6 weeks. Thanks. Sure wish Apple would let us keep our Macs the way WE like it with a classic setting everytime they add something that they think is better. Like those awesome grey icons all over the place instead of color.

The day with the red line on top is today
