Multiple days in iCal

Hello all
I am unsure if this if the correct forum to place this so apologies if so.
I am new to Macs and the program iCal. I am wanting to put in an event that occurs every Tuesday and Thursday and 6:00pm till December but I am unsure how to do so. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Greetings,
In the help menu of iCal type in "recur", this should give you some good information on setting up recurring events.
For the parameters you specified:
1. Create the event
2. Set the start time for 6 PM
3. Click on "repeat" > Custom > Frequency > Weekly -- click on Tuesday and Thursday
4. Click on "end" > on date > 12-31-2011
The final event window should look something like this:
Hope that helps.

Can't set multiple days on ical

Does anyone know how I can set my ical on imac to give me option to select more than one day for an event. I will be on vacation for a week and I want to save it as such but it only allows me to select one day at a time. Can anyone help?

hureir,
Make sure to click on the "all-day" check box.

All-day events across multiple days

Okay, this is a very specifc question about a very specific situaiton, but I am curious to know what is going on. When I have an all-day event scheduled for one day in iCal and I sync it with my phone (Motorola v551) it shows up as a nice little note at the top of my calendar on my phone. When I have an all-day event scheduled across multiple days in iCal it shows up as an actual event across all the hours of the day for as long as I have it scheduled on my phone.
I have discovered a work-around by taking that one-day, all-day event and having it repeat the number of days of the event, but it just doesn't look right in iCal.

The calendar on your phone likely doesn't support events that span mutiple days. The solution of a repeating event is the correct answer.

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.

How to display timed events across multiple days in month view?

Simple question I suppose, though I don't know if it has an answer. When I put an event spanning multiple days (say, a week long vacation) in iCal, and check the "All Day" box, it shows a nice, accurate, bar going across those days the event I'm entering covers. However, if I give it specific times for the event (e.g. the times of departure and return for said trip), even if those times are a week apart, the event still appears to only cover the starting date when viewed from the month perspective.
Is there any way I can make the month calendar show all the days during which the event is "happening" so that at a glance I will realize that an entire week is busy?

Hi,
You can do it with keyboard shortcuts.
Select the event. Press Cmd+X. Press Cmd and right or left arrow (depending if it is forward or back in months) until you are in the correct month. Press Cmd+V to pase on the same day in the new month.

One multiple day event won't show in month view

I have noticed that every time I launch iCal an event (checked for all day event) beginning 9/1 and ending 9/4 will not show up in the month view until I open that day (and it's there) click it and then it will show up as a banner event. If I close iCal it goes away.
I have other all day events spanning multiple days that don't appear and vanish.
Any ideas what can be causing this? I don't want to schedule something way in advance and then forget it's there because it's vanishing.
Thanks.

Hi David,
The way this is implemented by iCal is a choice of the developer. You can send comments about iCal to Apple through this page http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ .
Alternatively, you could make the events into all day events. They would then show on all the dates in month view.

Events Spanning Multiple Days

I'm converting to iCal from another application I've used for years. Does iCal support any way to insert and display a line, banner, bar, etc. accross multiple days in the Month View so that I can display the fact that I'm on the road or on vacation, etc. for the days covered by the line, banner, bar, etc?
I would be happy to provide a picture of what the application I've been using does to support this need.

Regal909,
Is this what you are looking for? Creating an all-day or multi-day event:You can create an event that lasts one or more complete days (for example, for a vacation), or an event that spans multiple days with different start and end times.
To create an all-day event, make sure you're in Day or Week view, then double-click in the white area at the top of the iCal window (just below the date). If you want your all-day event to last multiple days, drag a corner of the event across the days in the main calendar view (or type the end date in the Info drawer).
To create a multi-day event, make sure you're in Day or Week view, then drag from the start time to the end time of the event (you can drag across multiple days). You can also type the start and end dates and times in the event's Info drawer.
All-day events are shown across the top of the day in the main calendar view.   
Tip: You can also make any event an all-day event by selecting the "all-day event" checkbox in the event's Info drawer.;~)

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).

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.

How do I select multiple events in iCal 8.0?

In OSX Mavericks, I used to be able to select multiple events in iCal in the event list view. I could select the initial event in the span of events to be selected. Then hold Shift while selecting the final even in the span of events. As a result, all of the events in that span would be selected.
in OSX Yosemite, this is no longer possible. There appears to be no list view, and holding the Shift button does not allow me to select a span of events.
What is the best way to select a span of events, say as much as 30 events?
Thank you.

How to rid of multiple entries in ical

How the blazes do you you get rid of MULTIPLE entries in ical? I have read many answers and printed off a few to follow them but invariably i get to a point where I am unable to take the next step! I back track and and unable to find a fault of where I went wrong!! Then I have to ask myself WHY? Why on earth am I having to go to such extreme lengths to get rid of the unwanted entries?
Come on now Apple it is you who should be providing the simple logic answer to this?
I decided to give up? just ignore the other entries it easier than going frantic trying (and anyway I am frightened I may throw the macbook in my temper)
bye bye

I just want to stop the thing from doing that and if there is a way my question is why do I have to do it? surely apple should fix it or whatever

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:
1) PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "MEETINGS_TBL"."M_ID": invalid identifier
2) PLS-00357: Table,View Or Sequence reference 'MEETINGS_TBL.MEETING_END' not allowed in this context
3) PL/SQL: ORA-00984: column not allowed here
Maybe I'm not supposed to substitute ':NEW' with 'MEETINGS_TBL' ??
Thanks for your help!

Multiple day events showing on month view

Hi, Anyone know how to make events that span multiple days show up on the monthly view? In week view it will color all of the days, on monthly it is only listing it on the first day of the event. The only way I've gotten it to go across is if it is listed as an "all day event", but then the start and stop times dont show.
Thanks for the help!

You either need to use the "All Day Event" option or make copies of each invididual event.
E.g., if you are at a 3 day convention and each day the program is from 8 am to 3 pm, first create a single event that has those start/stop times. Then manually copy that event for the other 2 days. Each event will show up in month view (and you could probably change the event name to "Day 1", "Day 2" etc.).
FWIW, I would just use the "All Day Event" option for those kind of events.

Nokia E71 Calendar Memos across multiple days

Hello,
I recently got a German Nokia E71
(E71-1 Software Version: 100.07.76 08-06-2008).
I noticed a strange behavior of the calendar:
When I create a memo that goes across multiple days (lets say 10 days or 14 days) In Month view the memo is shown correctly for the set time. Also when synchronizing with MS Outlook the memo is shown correctly on the PC.
But when you open the Memo directly (open day view, select the memo and press the center of the nav-key) then the memo is displayed to last one day longer than originally specified.
For example I created a memo that should end on the 11th of September (actually it starts in August so maybe spanning the Month barrier may also cause the problem) but it is shown to end on September 12th when I open it. Although it is shown correctly in Month view (shown on 11-Sept, not shown on 12-sept).
Maybe you have similar experiences?
Or an explanation for that behavior?
Thanks and regards,
Sebastian

I think I'm experiencing the same thing, Sebastian.
Phone: E71 bough from 3 in the UK ~20months ago.
Firmware: 100.07.76 08-06-2008 RM-346 E71-1 (241.02)
Here's how it happens:
Step 1) I create a memo on the calendar with the phone.
Step 2) I do an Ovi sync over the air (i.e. there is no use of the PC Suite or Microsoft Outlook going on).
Step 3) Some (but not all) of my single day memos are spread over two (2) days.
How it should look when correct: http://tinyurl.com/ovi-cal-memo-right
How it actually looks when wrong: http://tinyurl.com/ovi-cal-memo-wrong
As you can see in the 'wrong' example, instead of memos showing up as lasting for 1 day duration it's apparently "23 hours, 59 minutes" in duration, and ends on 18/07/2011. And yet it's spread over the 18th and 19th on the month view. The correct date (as entered and displayed on my phone) is actually the 19th! The same goes for all those other 'wrong 2-day memos': they should all only be shown on the second of the two day bar that's visible in month view.
At the moment, for some unknown reason, the problem seems confined to April-October of this year (and subsequent and prior years) and dates are stretched back by a day so they appear on the web version of the Ovi calendar as lasting for two (2) days instead of one (1). But I think that the problem has been more widespread and across-the-board in the past, and it may have put dates forward by an aditional day (although I can't be sure on that.
Thankfully, all these memos remain as correct on the phone and seem to be unaffected by the sync.
When it first happened I made an attempt to correct the Ovi Web Calendar memo sync problem before (thinking it was a once only bug) by going through all the Ovi calendar entries on the web interface and tidying things up that way. But I'm not prepared to go through all that hassle again.
It's a real niggle, to say the least.
What can be done?
Thanks for any help.

ICal still shows previous day in ical proper, but shows current date in the dock

iCal is open in the MONTH, on my desktop permanently, but it continually shows yesterdays date. It isn't till I actually click on the following day in iCal proper that the date changes to the current date. The iCal icon on the dock works fine with no issues. When I first purchased the iMac iCal worked aok. Software is continually updated.

I have the same issue. I am also running iCal 5.0.2 under Lion 10.7.3. It worked fine for me on Lion 10.7.2, and it still works ok for me on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1. It does look like a bug to me. I have the issue connecting to a Google Calendar as well as to another (non-Apple) CalDAV server.
Let me know if you call Apple Support to report this issue.
