Ical: won't make all day appointments on my mac but show up in iCloud..Help?

I can make appointments (using my mac air) in ical if there is a time attached but not all day appointments. The all day appointment does show up in my iCloud calendar and in fact syncs to my iphone and ipad. But can't get it to be visible in ical on my mac air. Can anyone help?

If the old account was or had been upgraded to an iCloud account as you seem to be implying, you should be able to add it back to your mac as a secondary account (system preferences > mail, calendars & contacts. This should cause both accounts calendars to show up in iCal (click the calendar button -top left corner- to confirm this. Then you should be able to copy the calendars across to your new account by following the instructions below.
Create a new empty calendar from the iCal file menu, select which account you want to create it in.
If you have only a few appointments you can move them individually by editing them and changing the calendar in the edit options.
Alternatively you can copy all the appointments in one calendar to another and delete the original.
To copy a calendar ctrl-click on it from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button (top left corner of iCal) and choose export (export it to your desktop for ease)
Double click the exported file and choose the new empty calendar to import them into.
Ctrl-click on the original calendar from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button and choose delete.
I'm guessing the reason your calendars show on your phone is because that account is enabled as a secondary account there.

Ical all day appointments missing

I have two macs and two ios devices. All-day appointments are synced correctly with iCloud on the iOS devices, but not on one of the macs. If I uncheck "all day" the event will appear on all of the devices.

Try creating a new calendar in ical.
Set the iphone only to sync to that calendar replacing all calendar data on the iphone.
put an all day event in the new callendar and sync it to the iphone.
If that does not work, create a new user account on your computer, and try the same thing.
Hope this helps.

Plaxo calendar sync problem with ALL-DAY appointments

I keep my main calendar on a PC using Vista/Office/Outlook 2007. (Don't ask -- best for work.)
I use Plaxo (great stuff) to keep my Mac (used for all home computing) and iPhone synced.
Works great, except any appointment that is an ALL-DAY appointment (like holidays and birthdays) shows up on the iPhone ONLY as two appointments -- one on the right day, and an identical one on the following day.
The appointments are CORRECT (not duplicated) anywhere else but on the iPhone. iCal has them correctly, Plaxo has them correctly. But something gets messed up during the iPhone sync.
I've done everything I can think of. I've wiped my folders off Plaxo and re-created from Outlook on the PC. I've wiped the calendars out of iCal to start fresh. I've told the iPhone to re-load everything from iCal new on the next sync. And I've done all of these things together. Still no fix.
Any ideas? Anyone else seeing the same thing?

On Mac: Go to Plaxo system panel for configuration, and click "check now." Confirms that I have the latest software.
Go to Plaxo, and DELETE all folders. Confirm that I have nothing on Plaxo at all. On Mac, DELETE all calendars (leaving just an empty calendar) in iCal, and DELETE all address book entries.
Go to PC running Outlook. Go to Plaxo manager and re-configure to upload all my contacts and calendar entries to Plaxo. Confirm that this happens fine.
Go to Mac and re-establish sync point. Sync, and confirm that all address book and contact entries come across.
Note that on Mac iCal and Plaxo, all-day entries like birthdays are fine and not duplicated.
Go to iTunes. Sync iPhone, clicking options to completely replace address book and contact info.
Confirm that all-day appointments STILL show up as all-day appointments on proper day and immediately following day.

How to make "all day" the default in calendar ?

Is there a way to make "all day" the default appointment time in calendar?
Thanks

To my knowledge, no.

MfE All day appointments problem

Hi,
Mail for Exchange seems insistent on converting all day appointments in Outlook to appointments lasting from 00:00 till 23:59 on my handset. Also it doesn't always sync the status (Free/Busy/Out of Office) properly.
Is this a known issue that is likely to be remedied?
Cheers,
Ian

No such issue when I am using MFE so far..
Your automatic update, was it switched to on? If yes, disable it and try again.
Also check on your clock's timezone to see if it's correct for your region.
Lastly, check with your IT guys to see if there's anything wrong with the server settings if all else fails..

Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!

Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated!

Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better.

All Day Events ( banner events ) will not show in iCal and Web Cal

I have iCal Server working for the most part. I am having issues with the Web Calendar not showing the all day events that are made in iCal on that group calendar. Non-All Day events show on both the iCal on the client computer and on the Web Calendar. Also events can be added and edited by multiple users.
If I make and all day event on the Web Calendar, it does not show up on the iCal client. If I make an all day event on the iCal client it does not show in the Web Calendar.
I made a banner event on the Webcalendar. One user could see the event in his iCal, I could not. He changed the status to "All Day Event" then the event disappeared from the Web Calendar, and showed up in my iCal.

Same problem here! Apple should really get their act together if they are serious about groupware and their server software; all-day events are a crucial part of a calendaring system!
I wonder if Apple actually use their own software? I can't imagine that they'd let this one go on unsolved for this long

AppleScript to make All-Day Events?

I'm new at this, so forgive the question if it's obvious. I routinely import a calendar using Outlook2Cal from a Windows machine to iCal 2.0.3 on my PowerBook. It works fine, but All-Day events in Outlook show up in iCal as starting at 12:00 AM the first day and ending 12:00 AM the next day.
The company that makes Outlook2Mac says that's a bug that they hope will be fixed eventually.
In the meantime, is there a way AppleScript could find all the entries that, say, start at 12:00 AM and automatically check off the "All-Day Event" button?

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

ICal problem scrolling through all-day events

Not quite sure how to describe this but making easy to understand.
I organise my daily events using iCal on my mac and sync them to my iphone running the latest iphone updated software. I place all my things to do as an all-day event and at present has 21 events in there.
The phone scrolls through events no problem when I don't have a lot of events in the all-day event part but when I try to look at for example todays events with 21 items at the all-day part at the top it won't let me scroll and only shows 14 events instead of the 21?
Any ideas?

This appeared to be a timezone issue, when daylight savings time came around the iPod and iCal dates synchronized correctly.

ICal does not search all-day "detached events"

I've encountered a very specific, repeatable search problem:
(1) create an all-day repeating event (e.g., repeat daily for five days);
(2) add some text to the Notes field, and apply to All occurrences;
(3) search Event and To-do Items for some text in that Note, and all 5 instances of the all-day event are properly found;
(4) open a single instance of the all-day event, and replace the Note with different text;
(5) save the change for "Only this event" (this creates what used to be called a "detached event" in iCal 2.0);
(6) search for the new note text -- iCal doesn't find it.
This is NOT a Spotlight problem. I can search for the same text in Spotlight, and it returns the correct iCal events. Bento also has no trouble finding those events with the note text.
This problem is a real nuisance for me, because one of the ways I use iCal is to have a Calendar called "Notes" with a repeating all-day event called "Daily Notes", which I use as a poor-man's journal. Unfortunately, those notes cannot be searched within iCal.
Can anyone else confirm this behavior?

Jamaicangal,
Do you have any duplicate fonts? If so, try resolving duplicates.

Syncing iCal to 5G Ipod -- All Day Events appear across 2 days

When I synchronize my iCal calendars to my 5G iPod, the all day events span across two days in the iPod calendar only. Is there a setting somewhere that gives the iPod calendar the ability to recognize the all day events instead of having them span 24 hours (7am to 7am the following day).
