International travel and multiple-day events with time zones

I can't see how I can set an international travel easily as one event, e.g. from 2010-01-11 20:30:00+11:00 to 2010-01-11 07:10-10:00. I can set both as in one Time Zone, but that is not what I want. I want to set as my itinerary from a travel agent says, e.g. the start and end in different Time Zones. Although I can enter the departure and arrival as two events, that is not what I want to do. The air travel is one event, not two.
Also, I often want to set schedules for multiple-day international meetings using the local time of the meetings while my iCal is still in my own Time Zone, but this is not possible. As soon as I select All Day in a new event, the Time Zone option disappears. Of course, I can change my iCal Preferences to use the target Time Zone (instead of my local one) and then set the meeting schedule, but this is not what I want to do. I want to be able to select a different Time Zone for multiple-day events while I am in my own Time Zone.
These are rather common problems in any internatioanl businesses I suspect. It would be really handy to tie iCal with travel itinerary applications. If this is possible, I also would be able to get the information directly from travel agents in iCal format and it is a great potential for developing such applications.
Does anyone know whether these are possible in iCal or whether Apple may be working on it?
I also can't find a Feature Request for Apple, to ask about it. Does anyone know where to find it?
Thanks.

I just didn't get the context here. Do you want to display multiple rows within one Outlook calendar event? If yes, I think it's impossible.
Please reattach the sample which will be very helpful for others to understand your requirement, then possibly provide a solution.

  • Outlook Calendar: Multiple day events with different details on different days

    Hello!
    I produce trade shows and I am trying to use outlook calendar and sharepoint as a place for my company to access a calendar for all the events we produce.  However, I want to be able to distinguish what is happening that particular day (move-in, the
    days we build the show; open, the days the show is open; move-out, the days we dismantle the event)
    For example:
    Widget Expo
    Move-in: 1/5 - 1/6
    Open: 1/7 - 1/9
    Move-out: 1/10
    I know that I can easily create three different events for the above, which, in theory is fine... but we produce many shows so I want the event line to be continuous in outlook as it would be if I simply entered "Widget Expo start date 1/5 end date
    1/10".  
    Additionally, this fails because we have many events overlapping the dates and the data becomes visually disjointed and hard to read.
    I am not particularly concerned with start or stop times vs. all day events.  My priority is to see about entering an event like the one above with a subset of info on each day.
    For example
    Widget Expo: 1/5 - 1/10
    1/5: move-in
    1/6: move-in
    1/7: open
    1/8: open
    1/9: open
    I've attached a sample.
    The top section (Events 1, 2 and 3) is how Outlook will function as I know it today, you can see how it is challenging... (alternately I could do one day at a time but that gets even more cumbersome).
    The bottom section (Events A, B and C) is how I would like Outlook to function and how, I really, really, hope that someone will be able to instruct me on.  
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks!

  • Can't create events with times between 10:01 and 19:59

    I've recently updated to OSX 10.4.9, and now can't create events with times that start with a '1'. This only seems to be a problem on the day British Summer Time begins on 25 March.
    I usually create my events in the month view, and input the start and end times by clicking in the time boxes and typing in the hours and minutes. However when I try to put in a start time of, say, 11:00, it puts in 21:00 instead. The only way around this seems to be to put in a time it will accept, like 09:00, and using the arrow keys to move it to the time I want. Or creating the events in the day view and clicking on the start time there.
    Any ideas?

    Looks like you have found a wee bug. I can replicate it. You could report it though OS X Feedback or better though ADC, but for the latter you have to register first.
    I usually create events by double-clicking in week view; often this gets the start time right, but if not then edit the start time in the info pane. Your bug is there with events created in day and week views too.

  • How do I mark up multiple day events like school holidays?

    I would like to mark up school holidays to help with planning family holidays.
    Other than marking each day individually how can it be done?
    I actually would need 2 school calendars as my boys go to 2 different schools and the holidays are different.
    I imagine a user would need to mark up multiple day events like conventions or business trips similarly.
    If it were my physical diary I would color the whole day background both on the day and on the year/month layout to block them out and make them clearly distinguishable in whatever view.
    I have subscribed to the Australian Holidays calendar but it is incomplete. Major holidays such as the Easter break, Labor Day, Bank Holidays and Queen's Birthday etc are not included. In fact, except for Christmas, Australia Day and Anzac Day it did not have much at all.
    If Apple needs an accurate set of Australian & NZ holiday calenders broken down into States & NZ regions, I am happy to assist. The information is available in the front of every diary sold here.
    Beaut iMac G5 2Ghz + G4 400 AGP upgraded to G4 1000 that bombs all the time   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    If you have other all-day events, there will be a separate pane for them at the top of the calendar in week view. Control-click in this area on the first day, choose New Event, then drag the right edge of the new event over as many days as you need.

  • Use multiple day event in Calendar region

    I am using a Calendar region in my application. One issue i have run into is, some of my events are multiple-day events, such as a conference. The calendar application does not seem to be able to deal with multiple-day events. It takes one date as the date. There doesn't seem to be any way of dealing with multiple day events. In my case, I have 2 date fields in my table associated with my calendar - a starting date, and an ending date.
    Has anyone found a way to deal with this situation? I don't want to have a separate entry for each date of the event. I'd like to be able to use my start date, and ending date fields.
    Thanks,
    John

    Scott,
    I took the SQL you used in your trigger and substituted my table names and fields. I am getting 3 errors. Here is what my code looks like after the substitutions (my table names are 'meetings_tbl' and 'meetings_tbl_cal'):
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER ai_meetings
    AFTER UPDATE OR INSERT ON meetings_tbl
    FOR EACH ROW
    DECLARE
    l_date_diff NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    IF UPDATING THEN
    DELETE FROM meetings_tbl_cal WHERE m_id = meetings_tbl.m_id;
    END IF;
    l_date_diff := meetings_tbl.meeting_end - meetings_tbl.meeting_start;
    FOR x IN 0..l_date_diff
    LOOP
    INSERT INTO meetings_tbl_cal
    (m_id, meeting_date)
    VALUES
    (meetings_tbl.m_id, TO_DATE(meetings_tbl.meeting_start + x));
    END LOOP;
    END;
    I am getting 3 errors:

  • Multiple day events

    I exported an .ics event from my work calendar and e-mailed it to my Mac at home.
    It was a vacation starting on Fri 12/18/2009 at 6:30 (when I start my work day), and ending on Mon 12/21/2009 at 3:00.
    My wife and I share our iCal via our .mac account, and she called me to say I needed Monday off as well - it showed up on her calendar as a Friday vacation only. Opening the event showed the correct time. A solution was to change it to full day events - now it showed as 4 days instead of as one day glancing on the month's calendar.
    Is there a set-up we have wrong, or is this just the way iCal displays multiple day events that aren't marked as full day events? (I hope it's the former, as it is not a good design at all).

  • Is SSL and multiple websites possible with Lion Server?

    this is the obligatory apology from a nub here....
    I have not been a sys admin since the days of NT 4.0.
    I like to think that "hey, i might need a touch up here and there, but I think I can find my way around..."  Wrong.
    I have been searching, and reading and searching and reading, and trying everything I can think of..  and I CAN NOT figure out how to get mutliple websites working with Lion Server, using self signed certs 1 for each of my subdomains.
    Has anyone, anywhere (thank you google for returning searches to me from 2004?!?!  More puzzled confusion....)  posted a step by step guide yet??? 
    I have a mac mini, and I have two domain names that are resolving to my exterinal interface on my router just fine, and I have tried what I thought was
    every different possible combination of voodoo, magic, 00000...MoreTestingNeeded.conf, and all the other tricks.
    Is it possible to get ssl and multiple websites working with one IP address? 
    Thanks...

    Thank you very much for your time and input.  My birthday was fantastic! Thanks for asking.
    I found out about SNI while researching an error I was getting in the log.  I really never found any definitive "this is what you need to do", so I was going to get back to it later.
    You probably know this, but Lion Server breaks out all of the virtual hosts into seperate documents in the "sites" directory.   All I do is I launch the server.app, and in the web component, I enter the name of the website that I want to resolve to my server, and I give it the path to the docs.  Thats it.  There is no DNS configuration to speak of, on my part, and I don't believe that its necessary (?) to touch the httpd.conf file at this point yet either, even though I think I hear others saying you do.  (I have no issues with getting into the file and making any changes, I just thought it was interesting.)
    I am still trying to figure out how a user is supposed to add any other types of services LIKE ftp, etc.  I know and use the server admin tools, but I have found that the app really does do its job in terms of creating all the dns records for resolving the sites you create.  I sure hope its not just using the host file, is it? I never see any additional files in the DNS manager, for any of the subdomains.  Where are they?
    Here is the contents of what appears to be the first file read, that is for SSL enabled sites:
    ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
    This is "0000_any_443.conf:"
    `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

    So..  my questions are:
    Where in the .confs do I add what I need from your above items?  Would it go each of the site docs that I need?  I am really not sure what apple is doing here.
    I have 4 domain names resolving to my server right now, and subdomains to each of the domains.  So there are a total of about 10 "site" docs, not a big deal to change each, I just wonder if Lion overwrites these docs with each refresh or what? Also, If I try to add a third .com right now it breaks the whole site.
    (Out of conversation, but I just remembered this.  I just had to "quit" out of the server.app.)  When installing the directory server,  it hangs on "getting certificates". The spinning wheel (not the rainbow collered one, but the black one by the words "Getting Certificates") just sits there and spins.  I finally just hit the red X and relaunch server.
    Lastly, you meniton importing the key.  I am using the key manager within the server app.  I am not sure where and how I would make the cert and key you are referring to for the importing?  I have tried to use the key manager in the OS, but I am not sure of the relationship between that key manager app, and the key manager within the server.app.  I have tried to create certs in the keymanager in the OS side, but I do not know how to get them to show up for use in the keymanager in the server.app.
    BTW: Thanks.   Thanks for the help.  I really appreciate it.

  • ICal multiple day event issues

    If I enter an event which covers more than one day and set the start and end dates to the corresponding dates it only works on my iPhone. The iPad and iCal only show the event on the day it begins. Whereas the iPhone shows it across all of the days starting from the first date and ending on the end date. Surely this is the way it should be shown in iCal and iPad calendar also? If not you could have a multiple day event and only think it is forgone day and double book your diary?

    Hi,
    Timed events (as opposed to all day ones) only show on the first day in Month view in iCal. They show in Week and Day views for all the days they span.
    This has been the way iCal operates for several versions (if not from the beginning) and if you look here you'll find many comments about it.
    This is a user to user forum. By posting here you are not guaranteed someone from Apple will read it. If you'd like Apple to know you don't like this I suggest you send them feedback.
    Best wishes

  • Considering FileVault usage on an iMac with OSX 10.6.7. Wanting to know more about strengths and weaknesses of Filevault with Time Machine, Parallels and Carbon Copy Cloner. Any negatives to consider before flipping the switch?

    I'm considering FileVault usage on an iMac with OSX 10.6.7. Wanting to know more about strengths and weaknesses of Filevault with Time Machine, Parallels and Carbon Copy Cloner. Any negatives to consider before flipping the switch? Any information ?
    Would specifically like to know:
    Filevault impact on performance and application usability.
    TIme machine impacts, and whether TIme Machine volume will also be secure?
    Will a Cloned copy made with CCC be  bootable, or usable?
    Any other negatives to consider before turning this thing on?
    Thanks,

    Filevault impact on performance and application usability.
    FileVault encrypts the user's home directory only - it is basically an encrypted disk image that is automatically opened when you log in and closed when you log out. It does cause disk accesses to be a bit slower so it isn't a good idea to use an encrypted account with sound or video or large graphics files. I have no experience with it with Parallels Desktop but suspect that you'd notice a bit of a slowdown. Note: in the User's directory you'll see a Shared Folder. Since FV only encrypts the user's directory you can put data you don't need encrypted in this shared folder which won't be encrypted.
    TIme machine impacts, and whether TIme Machine volume will also be secure?
    There are issues with TM and FV but how extensive they are with Snow Leopard I can't say, once I realized that TM and FV hadn't substantially changed between 10.5 and 10.6 I stopped dealing with it. When FV and TM were first introduced my testing led me to recommend using CCC or SuperDuper! for backing up.
    Will a Cloned copy made with CCC be  bootable, or usable?
    Yes
    Any other negatives to consider before turning this thing on?
    Since FV is nothing more than a disk image - and disk images can fail - there are several problems with FV in my opinion. If an encrypted disk image fails it isn't possible to access any of that data. If you don't have a recent (undamaged) backup of the disk image and/or recent backup of the data within the disk image you are in a world of hurt. This isn't just a warning of possibility - this is a real danger that I've seen all too often at the shop where I have worked part time for a number of years.
    At this time I strongly recommend that people who have sensitive data keep that sensitive data segregated from their general data and encrypt only the sensitive data or use other methods of locking it down such as saving on an external drive that is kept in a safe. Call me paranoid but I don't even keep all my sensitive data in one encrypted disk image. I use multiple disk images and keep multiple sequential backups. That way I might someday find that my up-to-date investments disk image won't mount but (a) I can go back a week to a backup and (b) that won't impact my up-to-date business records because those are in a different disk image

  • Looking for a back up drive for photos and videos that works with time machine, prefer wireless. Time capsule has poor reviews and already have BT hub

    Looking for a back up drive for photos and videos that works with time machine, prefer wireless. Time capsule has poor reviews and already have BT hub that serves as a good router. 3gb or 4gb capacity preferred but 2 would suffice.

    Plug a NAS into the BT Hub that does TM. Look at Synology.
    You just use the wireless of the hub.
    But the cheapest solution is still the TC.

  • Calender events disappear time zone/location service problem

    By accident I turned OFF the location service for the time zone (system services). Then I created a huge amount of annual events (repeating every year) birthdays etc in my calendar by hand. Yesterday I turned ON the location service for time zone and now all the annual events are gone.
    I don't have the iPhone calendar synced at all. All my regular events, even the ones repeating every week, is still in the calendar and works properly. I guess the problem is because of the time zone location service, but I can't bring the events back whatever I do. Help needed!

  • Partitioning on a table on the field TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE

    Hi I have a very large size table which has grown to a size that we are not able to query it efficiently. We have decided to partition the table. But the issue is the table has a TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE field and not DATE. I have found some links on the web which state this might cause an error. I am planning to create a temp table with the partition rules and at the same time copy data from the original one.
    using CREATE TABLE XYZ PARTITION BY RANGE (ABC) ( ---- Partition rules ------) NOLOGGING AS SELECT * FROM XYZ_ACTUAL where 1 = 2;
    Then if it works fine, I would rename the table with partitions to the actual name.
    Should all this be fine?
    The database is very critical. Hence the dilemma.

    Have you tried converting the timestamp with time zone to a character string as a partition key, possibly using an edit mask to control the timestamp components used?
    Your plan sounds OK to me - if you can get the partitioned table created - but I would test in a development first o see where the lLw of Unintended Consequences might decide to manifest itself.

  • HT4576 I want to set up appointment times for an overseas trip before I go, and see those local times in the places I visit, but also be able to set new appointments while I am traveling, in the local times.  Can I do this with Time Zone Support?  If not,

    I want to set up appointment times for an overseas trip on my iPhone 4S before I go, and have them appear as I put them in (for the local time) when visiting other countries.  I also want to be able to adjust times and set up new appointments when I am overseas for the local time.  Can I do this using the Time Zone Support or any other way? 
    Basically I want to do what I can do with a piece of paper - write down the time for when I will be there, and have it viewable when I am there, but also be able to put down new times while there.

    Hi.
    Regarding your question about reverting back- yes, I think you can. If you make a backup of your current configuration in Server Admin (by dragging the configuration file to your desktop- cool, no?) then you can load that one back in should your configuration not work. If you have the manual from Apple it should describe this process.
    Network speed post-op? I don't think you will need to worry. Even using home directories stored on our OS X Server there is no network slowdown (that you can notice or that impacts the wider LAN in any case). It shouldn't slow down access to files, applications (which still come from the local drive anyway) or individual internet connections (even with filtering).
    In our experience some of these things have actually got faster- but a lot of that is user perception. Same goes for people who will know you have configured the server and that they are now accessing files through your network from the server, and who really think it is slower. File coming from your local hard drive will always be quicker- but network access isn't that bad that it will make you barf and run in the opposite direction.
    Something to look at: connection speed between clients and switching technology in your office. In other words, what kinds of switches are you using, what line speed have you got (100MB/s?) and is the connection from your server to the switch gigabit? Make sure it is.
    Enjoy
