How to View Multi-Day Events on iPad Calendar?

I am using the iPad, 3rd generation and new MacBook Pro Retina with Mountain Lion. My "Home" calendar is synchnoized between the two with iCloud. I have two options when entering multi-day events: enter them as an all-day event or enter them with specific start and stop times over multiple days. I prefer to enter specific times because all-day events only appear as headers in calendar view on my Mac. I prefer to see the times highlighted by the color of the calendar legend. I often miss the headers when scanning days.
Here is my problem. On the Mac, in Month view, multi-day events appears as a higlighted stroke over multiple days. On the iPad, only the starting day of the event is highlighted. All-day events do appear over multiple days, but I need the start times. Is it possible to have multi-day events with times to appear as highlighted strokes over multiple days?
Thank you,

You are correct; as fair as i am aware apple should be giving us an option in the next couple of updates to keep longer history of iCal events;
There is another way however it will more then likely cause double ups and errors: If you want the steps for that let me know.

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

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?

How to sync all day events on my calendar

Hello!
I am able to sync but it is not pulling in the all day events I have set up on my calendar. I went into the configuration in the BB desktop software but I am unable to choose that column on my device and match it to one in outlook.
I use the all day feature a lot to keep track of b-days and anniversaries and such. Is there a way to do this or a better way way to record these items on my calendar?
Thank you for your suggestions and help! Have a fabulous day!!!

If this is a subscribed calendar that is pulling the events from another server on the internet, and you have a CDMA phone (such as Verizon or Sprint), it may be because your carrier doesn't support simultaneous voice and data (i.e., when you're talking on the phone, the data connection is suspended dropping the subscribed calendar until you're finished with the call). This is just a guess; I can't confirm this with my phone as I have AT&T which supports simultaneous voice and data.

ICal multi day event not showing on screen

Help ! When using iCal, I am stumped as to how to make multi day events show up on the appropriate days .... I enter an event for say 3 days, on my screen I see it in iCal only on day one, it does not show up on day two or three however when I print my calendar, it does print on all the appropriate days. Is there a setting to change so it shows up on my screen on all the days like it does when I print ? Thanks!

Hi there,
So, that's in Week or Month view you are talking about?? ... it only shows on the first day?
Probably stating the obvious, but I'm assuming you are ticking the "All Day" box when you enter the Event?
If you don't, but leave a time, say 10pm, and have a start date of the 18th and an end date of the 20th, say - it'll display only on the 18th (albeit with the 10pm time slot - not as an all day Event), but will print on all three days - ie 18/19/20th

Multi-day events only showing up on first day of event in year view

There are several things about iCal that I find annoying (makes me miss my old Palm PDA sometimes), such as being able to set my own default meeting times, meetings being defaulted to all-day, no way to connect a contact to the event without having to invite them to join (my old Palm did this and it was a very useful tool). Each of these has many discussions already on these topics with a solution (except adding a contact to an event), such as simply typing in the meeting time when you setup the event.
However, I can't find a discussion on the following question, and therefore no solution. Hope someone out there knows the answer:
Why do Multi-day events only show up on the first day of the event in year view, and is there a way to change it?
Thanks in advance!

Greetings,
Perhaps I'm not setting up my events as you are but I see a color for each day of my multi-day event.
My steps:
1. Add a multi-day event to iCal:
2. Switch to Year view and observe the matching date range (26th - 29th):
Suggestions:
Make sure you have all your updates installed (Apple > Software Update).
Toggle the "all day" check box for the events in question and see if that makes the events show up in Year view.
If that doesn't help, please provide a screen shot of the edit window of the event in question so we can see how you have it configured:
Cheers!

Month view does not show Multi Day events

I know there has been a few post about this subject, but I've found no answer. Is there a fix for this problem? Multi Day events (Not All Day) only show up on the first day in month view (fine in week view). BUT ... if you print the month view the event shows on all the days, weird. I think I am going to be forced to go to a Microsoft product if this can't be resolved. I is too easy to double book appointments if you think that day is clear. Please help.

I've just come across this most dangerous of flaws. I wonder how Apple staff manage multiple-day events without missing anything.
I've submitted the following to iCal Feedback:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html
Events (not all-day) starting on one day and finishing on another do not show up properly in iCal month view. This is because you only show the start time, which is really confusing when trying to organise diaries.
The iPhone month list view would be a model to sort this out, showing start time on the first day, "Ends" on the last day and "All Day" on intermediary days.
Please sort this out as this is where Outlook really beats Mac.

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?

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)

How can I add an event to my calendar that occurs every third day...I have an ipad.

How can I add an event to my calendar that occurs every third day?

Do you happen to have a Mac? If so, and if you use iCloud to sync your calendars, you can do that on your Mac and your iPad will understand. But you cannot create such a repitition (or something like the third Tuesday of each month) on your iPad.
In Calendar on your Mac, you would create the event, choose "Custom ..." as the repitition frequency, then choose "Days" and choose every 3 days.

Why multi day events are shown only on the first day in calendar (in month view)

Why multi day events are shown only on the first day in calendar (in month view)?

Figured it out - the event has to be marked as full day event in order to be shown in monthly calendar. Disregard my question.

Easy way to enter multi-day events in Calendar 7.0 (Mavericks)?

I need to create a bunch of multi-day events in Calendar (7.0 under Mavericks)
I think that I had discovered an easy way to do this under Mountain Lion -- double click on the day in Month view, type the name of the event, then type a date range, and hey! Presto!! Calendar created the multi-day event without my having to move the cursor and click to select start and end days in the little calendars.
I can't make that work w/ Calendar 7.0 under Mavericks -- has this changed? I've tried all variations of dates that I can think of - just the numerals for the days (13-19); numerals for month & days (7/13-7/19); including the year (7/13/14-7/19/2014); month names instead of numerals; with and without spaces around the hyphens..
I had Mountain Lion for only a couple of weeks on a new computer before I upgraded to Mavericks, so I don't remember exactly what I'd done in Calendar to enter all the info after double-clicking on a day & have the multi-day entry be created automagically
Thanks for any help
(I'm tying to find any reasons for keeping on using Calendar. I've used iCal for 10+ years to organize myself and my household, but I'm having a REALLY hard time w/ Calendar 7.0 under Mavericks -- no lines between days in month view makes it really hard to tell at a glance which events are on which days, especially if there are a lot of mult-day events; time for timed events after the event in smaller & pale gray letters is hard to see; little colored dots next to events are almost impossible to tell which color so which calendar an event belongs to (I have 11 Calendars); ...)

Tyrone,
The week view affords some of the capability that you are looking for.
Experiment with these suggestions:
1. Select the week view.
2. Choose the number of days that you want to display by selecting (Option +  + 1), (Option +  + 2), (Option +  + 3)...and so forth for the number of days desired for a week display of 1/2/3/4/5/6/7 days. Make sure the mini calendar window is displayed and you will see the number of gray days change accordingly.
3. Create a new item on Wednesday (Double click on the start point) and drag to your desired length, and if the event falls over the weekend change the display length as indicated in step 2 above, and drag the event to the end time.
Let me know if you get the hang of what I am trying to describe. It is easier to accomplish than it is to describe.
;~)

When I get an ICS from Outlook that is a multi-day event it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS.

When I get an ICS from Outlook Express (Office is PC based) that is a multi-day event, it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS. I have to delete it and send a "decline notice" to the sender and re-enter it so I can put in multiple day events. Help!

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

Prioritisation of multi day events

Maybe this is more of a feature request as I don't know of a way to do this yet? (didn't there used to be a feature request menu item? Where'd that go?)
but anyhoo, I have a number of multi day events in my iCals - say a show that last plays from Thurs - Sat and I am planning on attending on the Friday but still want to have the other days in my iCal in case say other people ask me when its on, but to differentiate them somehow by assigning them a lower priority.
The feature I would like would be an ability to 'fade out' each event so that a clashing event on a day when the show is on but I'm not attending it, is more obvious
What do you reckon guys?
Cheers
JR

Interesting. I hadn't noticed that before.
Personally I would still submit it under the iCal category: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html
Just note in your comments that your are using version 4.x
You could also file your feedback under the Mac OS itself as iCal is a component of the OS: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html but I think keeping it under the iCal heading would be best.
Cheers.
