No iCal alert on "All day" events in Lion :-(

When creating an "All day event" in iCal in OSX Lion the event is not preset with an alert as it used to be in Snow Leopard. That is frustrating as we now have to this this manually.

How? I doubleclick an empy space in the top area underneath the leather to make an appointment. This then becomes an All day event but when I edit it I see that the alarm is not set. I have to do this manually. Only hour based events will get the default alert set.

Why is ical automatically setting new events as "all day" events in Lion

After upgrading to Lion, everytime I add a new event in the Month panel it automatically selects the "all day" checkbox. It didn't used to do this and it's kind of annoying....anybody else?

Gustlock,
Default event creation in Month view results in an all day event.
Lion iCal Help (Add events to a calendar) says: "Add a new event in Month view by double-clicking within the day you want the event to appear. Enter a name and time duration for the event in the event’s title field, and then press Return."
So, in your case try entering "Meeting at 9am"...that will create a one hour event named Meeting.
Lion iCal data detectors are supposed to make entry easier??

Why is ical creating unwanted alerts for all-day events?

If anyone can point to what might be going wrong here I'd be grateful. This is becoming a daily irritant. I have a number of all-day events listed for most week days in my diary which help me to know what is happening that day with childcare for my son. I don't need alerts to be reminded of these - they are just notes I put to myself in adavnce that let me know how my day is configured. Now, I sync my ical from my home imac to my work imac, my macbook, my iphone and my ipad. On none of these devices do I have default alerts set. I never set any alerts for any of these 'events'. But then, at 9am the day before each one I get an alert. In fact, I get a 9am alert for any all-day event, regardless of whether I set an alert for then, or at all. As I say, I've checked all devices and the default alert a=on all is set to 'none'. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I stop it?

Thanks Malcolm.I'm afraid this issue started for me after updating to iOS6!

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.

OS5-Issue with reminders/alerts of all-day events

Hi there,
in our company we are used to set up anniversaries and birthdays as all-day events with a reminder at 08.00 AM in Lotus Notes which are synchronized together with individual calendar entries to the Blackberries. After upgrading the first Bold 9000's to OS5, the alerts for birthdays and anniversaries don't go off anymore.
The Calendar entries are configured in Lotus Notes as all-day events with a reminder 8 hours after the start time (In the BB-Calendar these are shown as negative values). In the calendar-overview these entries are on the OS5 devices now shown without the bell-icon. If I open one of these events the reminder is configured with a negative value.
Although it is and was never configurable directly via the blackberry-devices (where you can only set the time the alarm goes off in advance, means positive values) , it always worked with all OS 4.x devices.
But it seems that with OS5 it's not possible to remind this way anymore.
Unfortunately, it's no option to put birthdays and anniversaries at for example 8 o'clock in the morning with a reminder at the same time, because the users don't want to have (sometimes multiple) events within their day schedule.
Could someone please verify that this is a OS issue. The used OS is 5.0.0.681, Lotus version is 8.0.
If this issue persists with all 5.x versions we are forced to downgrade back to 4.x.
Thanks in advance

Calendar automatically adding alerts to all-day events

When I schedule an all day event in my calendar, the alert fields show 'None.' I also have the default alert in Preferences set to 'None' for all-day events. After I finish scheduling the event and re-open it, the alerts fields are populated! There is an alert set to 1 day before and a second email alert set to 1 day before. I set them back to 'None', close and close the event. When I re-open it, the alerts are back! Maddening! Any suggestions?
By the way, the default alert settings on my iPhone and iPad are also set to none. My calendar account is a gmail account.

Isnt there any other way than doing it manually? I have a lot of birthdays and anne. saved on the contacts info on my outlook with the alert set to go off at 8 AM but as the previous person said....all alerts tend to go off at 12 midnight which is quite irritating.

Calendar alerts for all day events

Am I missing something??? Is there anyway to set an alert to go off on the date of an all day event but not at midnight the night before? It would be so much better if the user could choose what time the alert should go off, like 9am for instance. Who wants an alert at midnight!

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...
Snow leopard 10.6.5
Any ideas???

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 limitation with all day events

I fill up my calendar quite a lot with all day events. The space allowed for the events is limited so some events don't show. There should be a stretchable bar to allow visibility or not.
I wonder how to pass on this suggestion to Apple.

Agrr, I couldn't find how to delete this question. As often when i get to ask a question i get the answer. My events don't disappear, they are there and there is a scroll bar that shows when i scroll in the all day event part.

All Day Events Showing as 24 Hour Events (Nokia N95)

Hi,
I'm syncing a Nokia N95 using the Nokia iSync plugin.
My all day events are shown on the phone as 24 hour long events. Is there a way to stop this?
Many thanks
David

I agree with David.
I have "Japanese holidays" on iCal imported from /ical/librar as "all day events".
Also I have many "not-time-specific events", like the name of trade shows I may attend, as all day events on iCal.
I guess that is the way a lot of people use "all day events" on iCal.
So "all day events" on iCal should be synced as "memos" on the phone.
Otherwise, the weekly view looks ugly and any meetings entered on the same day conflict with the name of the holiday or trade show...
I just hope Apple or Nokia fixes this problem soon.

In ICal is there a way to see all of the text in all day events on the month view of the calendar. Seems to wrap text only if there is a time on the event

The paths won't agree on the two OSs so a simple XML import isn't likely to work.
See Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers and, if needed, Make a split library portable. The techniques in the first link will work when moving the library between Windows and OS X as long as the library is "portable", but iTunes takes quite some time checking the database when the library is opened under a different OS.

ICal "all day events" separator bar

Is it possible to adjust the "all day events" separator bar in iCal in the Daily or Weekly view. When you have more than 6 all day events on one day a scroll bar appears, and it's not possible to view all of the all day events at once. I know that this sounds like nit-picking, but I've developed a work-flow where I would like to look at all of the informaiton at once without extra clicks or scrolls, or to glance at the information without having to bring the application to the surface, or make it the active application.
Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the separator bar to allow the user to see more then 6 all day events in the weekly or daily iCal views
Another ideal solution would be additions to the View or the Preference options that would allow the user to view all of the "all day events" and have the separator bar automatically adjust.
thanks,

I agree with you... this used to be a flexible field and would handle infinate "all day" events. To answer your question... no, you cannot adjust this field. I too use this for business and really need to view all the "all day" events. I've been forced to use the daily view and put a date notation in the "location" field to know when the event ends. It's the only way to see everything.
I found a nice little calendar program SaiSuke but Apple doesn't play well with others. You can enter into the iCal or iCloud calendar program and it will seemlessly appear through iCloud into the SaiSuke calendar. But Apple will not release the information allowing SaiSuke to talk back to iCloud.
Basically what I'm saying is it's a one way conversation between SaiSuke & iCloud, it can bring data in but not return data back. So if you enter a new event in SaiSuke it will not be anywhere other than the iPhone or iPad you entered it on, it cannot make it back to iCloud without plugging your phone in and doing a manual Sync. Of course this process will produce duplicate events.
So unless someone out there has more knowledge ... and you want to have your events be the same on multiple platforms (phone, pad & desktop) we are stuck with using their iCal product. Apple calls this progress.

All day events in iCal on 3Gs w/ iOS 4.0.2 show up day early in List view

For some reasons, all day events on my Calendar (iCal synced via MobileMe) are showing up a day earlier on my iPhone, but only when I use List view. They appear fine when I use iCal on my MBP or iMac. This happens with all day events on my calendars and subscribed calendars (e.g., birthdays).
If I tap on an event in the Day or Month view, the correct date is listed. If I tap on it in the List view, the day before is listed as the date.
What in the heck is going wrong here?

I am having the same problem. I have tried different scenarios and it looks like its an issue with syncing from MobileMe. I thought I had it beat when I saw my preferences for in iCal were set to to start at 8AM and end at 6PM. I made it Midnight to Midnight but that did not fix it.
I am perplexed - has to be a bug!

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?
