ICAL REPEATING ALL DAY EVENTS

When I put an all day event in it repeats the same event in the next week. Can anyone assist with a solution. Cheers

Exact same problem here. December 13th of 2010 has an infinite number of all-day birthday events on it. No matter how many I delete, new ones keep appearing.

  • ICal duplicating All Day events.

    I sync my iPhone via USB (not iCloud) with my Mac.
    Every now and then if I go through my historical iCal entries, I've noticed that quite a few All Day Events have replicated itself. Some twice whilst others can be replicated up to ten times or more.
    This raises the need to indulge in a 'new hobby' of scanning iCal regularly to remove the duplicates manually. In spite of this, iCal persists to replicate some All Day events.
    There doesn't appear to be a definite pattern to its replication because it replicates All Day events from more than one Calendar and does so on every other All Day event resulting in what appears to be a randomised replication.
    I have no plugins or third party apps which integrate to iCal. For all intents and purposes (to my knowledge) my iCal is stock standard.
    Does anyone know what causes this and how to stop it once and for all?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Try opening isync from your applications folder.
    When isync opens, open the isync preferences.
    In the isync preferences, click the button to reset sync history.
    Once the sync history is reset, quit isync and try syncing the iphone again.
    If this does not work, go into the entourage preferences and stop entourage from syncing with ical.
    Export all events from ical and clear out any calendars.
    Now create a new event in ical and try syncing just that event to the iphone.
    If that event syncs ok, go back into the entourage preferences and enable syncing with ical again.
    Now try syncing with the iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Ordering Repeating All-Day Events on the calendar

    Is it possible to order a list of all-day events that are repeating on multiple days of a calendar?

    If you have iCloud calendars set up on your iPhone, you should have several iCloud calendars.  I have Calendar, Work, Home.  When you create an all day even put it in one of the calendars.  For instance, i would put it in the Calendar calendar.  You can select the calendar when entering the event by tapping Calendar label.  You can then hide the all day events by tapping the Calendars button located top left on screen (portrait mode), then tap the name of the calendar you used to uncheck.  When click done, your all day events will be hidden.  Note you will have to rehide the calendar after adding a new all day event.

  • 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?

  • All day events not showing up in iCal

    On my iMac I cannot enter an all day event in iCal.  All day events entered via my iPhone or Mobile Me also do not show up on the iMac.  Just upgraded to Lion, no problem before this!

    Hi Linda,
    Open iCal and from the View menu check that Show All-Day Events is checked.
    Best wishes

  • Repeating long all-day events not shown in second portion of week view

    When I create a long all-day event spanning from a Wednesday to the following Tuesday, I can see it in both the first and second week views that it spans. For example, I created an event spanning from Jan 9, 2008 (Wed) to Jan 16, 2008 (Tue). It is visible in both week views, i.e. from Jan 6-12, and Jan 13-19.
    However, when the event is set to be a repeating one, it disappears from the second week view, Jan 13-19. The event is still visible on the Jan 6-12 week view. When the event has its repetition removed, it is immediately visible in the second Jan 13-19 week. There is some bug in the week view that apparently screws up repeating all-day events that do not begin on the week being viewed.
    A fix on this would be greatly appreciated. Anyone else notice this?
    Everything is normal on the month view.

    I have exactly the same problem. I work a 21 week pattern of days off and on over a 17 day period, ending with a random 28 day block. So every 147 days I repeat that 28 day block named "random".
    However, when the random block spans to the following month the entry is viewable up to the last day displayed in the month view but step forward to the next month and the entry cannot be seen.
    Example: All day event starting on 16th Apr 2008 until 13 May 2008, custom repeat every 147 days (never end), appears in April month view up to May 4th. Step forward to May, which includes from April 28th and nothing is displayed.
    Yet if it is not a repeat event it spans correctly!
    I'm relatively new to OS X and can't remember for sure but I thought Tiger handled it correctly?
    Can anybody confirm this?

  • ICal repeating old all day events...?

    Hi, thanx for reading...
    I had seen duplicate events, but this is so weird!
    Some all day events such as birthdays are shown like 10 times the same day at the same hour, just like that...
    When trying to delete copies to see if keeping one copy the problem solves, there seems to be more duplicate than graphicaly shown... so i cant delete all the duplicates...

    Any ideas???

  • Using iCal on iPhone in Day view - How can I move divider to give more space to all-day events?

    I am using iCal on an iPhone
    I would like to move the divider that seperates all-day events from the timed events. I would like to view with more room for all-day events and less room for timed events. How can I do this?

    If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

  • ICal imports Palm all day events as 2 day events - easy to fix?

    Hi,
    I want to make the switch from Palm desktop 4 to using iCal 3 but I've run into a problem. When I import the vcal exported from Palm, the iCal makes all of the all (one) day events into 2 day events.
    Is there anyway to fix this so the all day event displays only on the day it was set for in Palm?
    I'm hoping I don't have to do all of these by going back to my oldest events and changing the dates by hand because I have almost 9 years of data in my Palm calendar.
    Thanks.

    Just to update what I've been trying without success.
    I exported the Palm datebook as .csv file. I then edited any entries that began and ended the same day without any times, i.e. the one day all day events, to begin at 12:01am and end at 11:59pm. Then after backing up my Palm user data and prefs, I erased my Palm data and reimported this .csv file into Palm desktop, then I reexported it to a vCal and imported that into iCal.
    It made a mess out of things because I discovered some of these all day events also repeated. I'm not sure what to do with repeating events.
    I tried going into iCal and manually changing the events but then I end up with many duplicates if they are repeating.
    I exported the iCal data and opened it in Text Wrangler. Then I exported the calendar from Sunbird. It seems like the iCal is adding an extra "end date" that isn't in the file when I import it into Sunbird.
    Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Converted Outlook to iCal - All day events messed up

    I converted Outlook calendar via O2M and imported it into iCal on iMac.  The all-day events are blocking up time from 12:00am to 12:00am rather than appearing in the all-day box at the top of the day.  When I click on the event, the "Make All-Day Event" selection is grayed out and I cannot select it.  The events are blocking up and crowding my calendar and I can't see anything.  I don't want to delete and re-enter all events. Just bought the iMac a week ago. What's the fix?

    Found this on another topic and it fixed my problem:
    Re: AppleScript to make All-Day Events? 
    Feb 2, 2006 1:28 AM (in response to Roger Barre)
    Hi Roger, This is fairly straighforward in Applescript. You could try something like the script below. Depending on the number of events in the calendar it's possible this could take time. The script should let you know when it's done. Just in case you don't like the result. Backup, just in case. In iCal go to File>Back up Database... and save your calendars. --Copy blue text into Script Editor (Applications > Applescript > Script Editor) , press Run and follow prompts. If you are happy with the results you could save it as an Application. 
    tell application "iCal"
    -- Select calendar
    set myCal to first calendar whose title is (item 1 of (choose from list (title of (every calendar) as list) with prompt "Choose calendar"))
    -- Loop through events
    repeat with myEvt in events of myCal
    -- Get start & end times of event
    set {startTime, endTime} to {start date of myEvt, end date of myEvt}
    -- Check start and end hours & mins
    set hoursAndMins to {hours of startTime, minutes of startTime, hours of endTime, minutes of endTime}
    -- See if start and end time are midnight, if so set to all day.
    if hoursAndMins is equal to {0, 0, 0, 0} then set allday event of myEvt to true
    end repeat
    display dialog "Done all day events"
    end tell Best wishes John

  • Nokia and iCal: all-day events

    Whenever I use iSync to sync iCal and my E65, all-day events are sent to the phone as "meetings" that last from from 12:00am to 11:59pm instead of being synced as "notes". This is very annoying! Does anyone know of a solution? Here are my software versions:
    Mac OS X: 10.4.10
    iSync: 2.4
    iCal: 2.0.5

    I researched and researched, and it looks like Mac users are out of luck on this issue. Everything seemed to go wrong when Nokia changed to SyncML to sync their calendar and address book databases. Seems like Nokia & Apple would have resolved this issue by now. From what I've heard, it's been a problem for a long time.
    So, I'm giving up for now until someone has an answer. I'm only going to put calendar events on my phone and just use that as my main calendar.
    If anyone's interested, there is new software for S60 called "Handy Calendar" by Epocware. It is an amazing replacement for the built-in Nokia calendar app. The one big improvement is that you can make all-day events repeat, unlike on Nokia's calendar. It uses the same database as Nokia's calendar, so you can switch between the 2 with no problems. It also has a nice, clean, good-looking interface. Unfortunately it uses Nokia's SyncML as well, so it doesn't help with iCal.
    Oh, well... waiting for a fix...

  • E65 and iCal: all-day events

    Whenever I use iSync to sync iCal and my E65, all-day events are sent to the phone as "meetings" that last from from 12:00am to 11:59pm instead of being synced as "notes". I've tried everything I can think of, including syncing to Google Calendars online instead. I get the same issue. This is very annoying! Does anyone know of a solution? Or does anyone know of a different calendar program I can use?

  • Some Ical all-day events automatically move to Jan 1 2000 (01/01/2000)

    I keep getting ical reminders for events bearing the date of Jan 01 2000. I checked such date in iCal and I noticed that I had over 30 events set for that date. Some are marked as "detached events" from recurring events set in 2006. What is going on??

    I have the exact same problem. I have entered birthdays for people I know starting with the year of their birth and never ending, an all-day event. They now don't show in 2007, but there is a detached event on January 1, 2000. When I delete that event and all subsequent versions of it, the initial event now ends in 2006 or 2007, and I have to set the repeat to end Never again. I fixed all the ones from February that showed up. Now I notice that a huge amount of the other birthdays (all day events) that I have entered are doing it now, and we are talking well over 40 of them. I don't understand why it keeps creating these detached events. I also publish my calendars, if that makes any difference.

  • Ical all day events show over 2 days during standard time (Nov-Apr)

    Any all day event (either a holiday or an event I have repeating every year like a birthday) I have on my calender during standard time (from November to April) shows over a two day period.
    For example, Christmas Eve shows up on Dec. 23 and 24.
    I have tried syncing with time zone support on and off. I have tried using the same time zone in a different hemisphere. I had this problem last year and again this year. Once we switch to daylight savings the event show correctly.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the link--seems I'll just have to deal with the Palm/iCal calendaring anomalies. Do these "representation disconnects" have anything to do with the weird behavior of my iCal calendars, now that I've synced my palm data to iCal? Immediately after the original Palm/iCal sync, the calendars came up in iCal with no problem. Once I quit iCal, however, and then re-opened it, the list of calendars had disappeared from the "Calendars" pane to the left of the grid, and all of the events had disappeared as well.
    As someone reported elsewhere in this forum, changing the viewing mode (day, week or month) causes the events themselves to reappear, but the "Calendars" pane remains blank.
    I had hoped to ditch palm desktop and streamline my calendar /contact--computer/iPhone syncing, but iCal's odd behavior is making me question whether or not it is stable enough to fully rely on.
    Is there anything that will make the calendars and events perform more reliably?

  • Adding all day events using applescript to ical

    Hey all. I am new to using applescript. Thanks to some top users i have been able to get excel events file transfered into ical.
    I need help with the applescript for changing these events from time duration to all day.
    tried
    set the start time to 00:00 and end time to 24:00 and
    set all-day to true
    any help would be greatly appreciated!!
