ICal Order of Displaying Events

Does anyone know how iCal determines what order it displays (and prints) events?
I have two recurring events (amongst others on the same days) that start at the same time, and end at different times. They repeat every week day.
However, iCal insists on displaying these events in a random way.
On Monday, Tuesday and Thursday for example, Event 1 will be to the left, and Event 2 to the right.
And Wednesday and Friday Event 2 to the left and Event 1 to the right.
Anyone know why it doesn't just display the events consistently? Or how I can force it to?
It may seem minor, but when you've got a structured timetable it looks rubbish with the events differing from day to day.
It's driving me mad!
Thanks,
roryyy

Any solutions on this. I'm trying to create a schedule and even when I have the events in the correct order in the display, any changes to any day will randomly effect other days, and it prints in a completely different order then it is displayed. Help us Apple!

ICal Calendar NOT displaying events? I found a simple fix

Hi there,
Many of us are having our iCal events disappear. I have seen this problem a number of times after the mobile me iCal update.
After trying many of the suggestions found in this forum, here is what I accidentally discovered that worked for me....
1) Select the calendar (that is not displaying events) from the list of calendars in the left column of iCal.
2) Double-click (on any day in month view) in the calendar to create a new event.
3) Delete the new event.
After I did this, iCal started churning for a few seconds, then all of the events from that calendar appeared.
Good luck,
Matt

In fact the days at the top are not matching the days of the meetings. (I know when the meeting are - and they show up fine on my iPod)

How does iCal, or Calendar, order the display of multiple events for the same time?

I can't for the life of me figure out how iCal orders the display of multiple items at the same time. Does anyone have a clue? It's not alphabetical. It's not according the the order of the calendars in the left pane. Is it just random? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the focus lost eventhandling start a thread which does
the actual handling.
the new thread waits for a little time (0.1 seconds)
the click event of the button checks for a thread like the one above and tells it not to execute
This way you execute the for the lost focus event only if
the ok button isn't clicked in the same process ... not
realy good, because it kind of relies on the ordering of threads ... but maybe it still works for you?

ICal displaying events that last more than one day?

Can I change the way iCal displays an event lasting many days (particularly in the Month view)? For example, if I put in a vacation lasting 1 week, or a conference lasting 3 days.
I would just like it to look the way it does on my iPad, iPhone, or Google Calendar. These all display events with a labeled, colored bar spanning the days (the iPhone has dots).
Hopefully this is just a simple setting change....

Hi Stephan,
I use the following settings:
1. One Subform that has:
- Type: Flow content
- Dir: Top to Bottom
- "Allow page breaks" checked
- "Repeat subform .." NOT checked
2. Within that I have two subforms:
A. One is used as a one-time header:
- Type: Position content
B. Used as the repeating data:
- Type: Flow content
- Dir: Western Text
- "Allow page breaks" checked
- "Repeat Subform ..." checked
- Min count=1, Max not checked
With those settings the table data is spanned across several pages.
Enjoy,
Kim

Can I change the way iCal displays events in Month view?

I don't like the way iCal in the new OS displays events in Month view. It's counter intuitive to have the time of the event be at the far right and grayed out. I find myself staring and slowly scanning down the display just to find out when I have to be at an appointment. I wish they had stayed with the other display, not only was it much clearer, it also word wrapped so you could see the entire description. I have blank space at the bottom of the day, and at the same time missing information because of the lack of wrapped text.

Hi Daniel,
The option you have there is to change the calendar of the event (currently the "University" calendar in your screen shot) not the colour. It is the calendars that have colours in iCal not the events.
To change the calendar colour in OSX 10.7:
Click Calendars (in the top-left corner of the iCal window), and select the calendar by clicking its name in the Calendars pop-up list.
Choose Edit > Get Info.
Choose a new colour from the pop-up menu in the top-right corner of the Info window.
To customize the colour, choose Other, and then make your colour selections in the Colours window.
I hope that helps.
Best wishes

Events added in iCal don't display in Google Calender

I'm using my google address for iCal as I don't have a MobileMe account.
Events added in Google Calender display in iCal, but events added to this account in iCal don't display in Google Calender. I have tried subscribing to my Google Calender in iCal, but the address isn't recognized by iCal.
I have even tried deleting and re-adding my Google Calender, but still no joy.
Are the calenders I am using in iCal and Google the same calender, or are they actually different calenders with the same username? Someone help me sync the **** calenders!

It didn't help.
I want my iCal events from my HOME calendar to display in my google calendar.
I DO NOT want to move my iCal events to my google calendar. I have way too many. So, why won't my iCal events show up on my google calendar?? My google events show up on my iCal. It's a SYNC. They should be the same.
I'm sorry my answer to Clint is not what you want.
iCal and Google on their own do not do what you want.
There are/were some third party add-ins that worked in the way you describe that were mainly developed before Google Calendar had CalDAV integration.

ICal Web widget to display events ?

Hi - I have created a calendar and published to .mac. This contains events happening in 2008. is there are utility - ideally a web widget that I can put on a web site that will display the next 10 events (or defined number) coming up in a window ? This would display event name and date.

Um, I'm not sure whether you're supposed to answer your own questions, but trying around I discovered that in iCal on iPhone, any event that's shorter than 30 minutes will show in a very tiny font. So I just decided to make my shorter events appear to last 30 minutes at least (possibly describing their actual shorter duration in the title), and now they appear large enough on iCal to be read comfortably.
For instance, if I need to remember to "Call Anne" at 9:00 A.M. and expect to call her for 10 minutes, which event would start at 9:00 A.M.and end at 9:10 A.M., I'll write "Call Anne 10 minutes" and make the event start at 9:00 A.M. and end at 9:30 A.M., thus making the event easier to read on my day calendar.
Hope this helps...

ICal no longer displays caldav calendar but it's still there...

I find myself to have a strange problem... iCal no longer display a caldav calendar (which is my work exchange calendar via davmail app). But, it still appears to be there. In iTunes it is still listed in the calendars which can be synchronized with my iPhone. In fact, it is still synchronizing with my iPhone and up to date. If I add a new identical caldav calender in iCal, iCal only displays one calendar, as if there are no more, but in iTunes then two identical calendars are listed and on my iPhone all events are displayed double...
Any suggestion to get my calendar displayed in iCal again, or alternatively, how to remove the hidden agenda from the system so that I can resetup the calendar? By the way, I also have an MobileMe calendar running.
I look forward to receiving some hints as I am not yet able to solve this one.
Cheers!

Problem solved by myself Rebuild the calendar database by exporting the ical archive and then importing it. After that the hidden agenda was gone in Itunes. After a fresh set up of the caldav calendar in iCal it was back in iCal and iTunes. The mysterious ghost agenda is gone. Hope that this explanation may help someone else in the future.

ICal's month view events are spilling out and overlapping making unreadable

iCal's month view events are spilling out of their day boxes and overlapping the events below them making it impossible to look at the month view and discern one's schedule.
What's really odd is it only seems really a problem with the current month. January 2009.
What can I do to remedy this situation?

Okay, I figured out a simple remedy that was probably always intended by Apple. I had been pasting long text paragraphs from emails into the 'Subject' Header. When I paste the long paragraph of information in the "NOTES" area at the bottom of the dialogue box and just put a brief subject line in the header area this fixes the problem.
This might seem like common sense, but Palm Desktop did not require this. I figured this out by trying Entourage. Entourage synching with the iPhone however works through iCal and deleted all my color coded Calendars that I had not backed up. In Palm Desktop I had 15 categories each with a color code.
Now, when I put an address into the "Location" window why can't I tap that on the iPhone Calendar and have the GPS/Googlemap display this location on a map?

Display event without showing the date in calendar?

I'm not exactly a "power user", so the answer to this may be obvious... but it drives me crazy that when I enter a new event in iCal, it displays on the calendar with the date and time, then the name of the event. Sometimes if I don't have the calendar window maximized, I can't even see the name of the event.
I don't understand why if an event is in the calendar box for, say, February 5th, it would display the event as "Tuesday, February 5th, 2:45pm, Event Name". Obviously, if it's in the box for that date, I don't need the date spelled out for me! "Event Name, 2:45pm" would be so much better.
But I can't find any Preference that allows me to specify how an event is displayed on the calendar... if anyone knows how to do this, it would greatly improve my experience of iCal...
TIA!

now that is a puzzler, as I have never seen that behavior?!
does this happen in any of the views, as in day/week?
does this happen in any calendar you have created? can you create a new test calendar and see if you still get the date in a new event? finally can you log in as another user, create a test user if need be, and then launch ical, create a new event, and see if you get the same issue then.
I would suggest you delete the com.apple.ical.plsit file located in homefolder/library/preferences, and see if that helps any.
let me know

Set default or control calendar order for overlapping events

I use my calendar extensively and have many events scheduled at the same time; however, ical does not display these in a consistent way, which would be very helpful. Here's what I mean
I would like to have each calendar stacked on top of the others (e.g. blue is leftmost, black is second, brown is third). Any thoughts?

any thoughts?

Ical widget for entering events

Does anyone know a good widget for entering new events? I found one that displays events nicely but not one for entering them.

Ical weekly or daily event scheduling

Hi, I want to schedule weekly or daily event on Ical but I would like to not write inside vacation days. Can I erase or reserve automatically vacation days so that my plan could be correct? Thank you. Sorry for my bad english. GianPaolo

Hello,
>> Is there a way to display events in a time range instead of a single hour?
In the following thread, there is an idea, by Dimitri, Which might be helpful to you -
Calendar .
The resolution of 1 hour is too crude for me, and there is the problem of a meeting starting in 09:30 (the system will put it at the beginning of the 09:00 cell) but the idea is still interesting, and need further working.
Hope this helps,
Arie.

Sales order creation, standard event trigger is taking long time .

We have a requirement where we are sending data to CRM system using RFC function module. This data is sent while sales order creation or change. We have used standard event BUS2032.CREATED to trigger CRM FM in sales order creation mode. In sales order change mode, we are using custom event. In production system, our custom change event is getting triggered fine and data is sent to CRM system with small time lag of around 1 minute. But, while sales order creation, standard event trigger is taking long time ( sometimes about 20 minutes) in production system.
We tried triggering same custom event at the time of sales order creation using FM u2018SWE_EVENT_CREATE_IN_UPD_TASKu2019 as well but, still we are not able to improve performance of the event trigger at sales order creation.
Regards,
Sushee Joshi

HI,
we have written SWE_EVENT_CREATE in update task
I think instead of calling in update task simply call to function module CALL FUNCTION "SWE_EVENT_CREATE" might trigger the event immediately.. Did you try to check in this way..
OR
And I also suggest you to check the entry in SWE2 txn with respect to your workflow tempalte, may be you have enable the option ENABLE EVENT QUEUE, this could be one of the reasons.. If it is enabled please disable it (uncheck)
Please check..
