Printing Calendar shows ellipses for event times

We generate a .ics file from your database which users can then subscribe to. Recently, we noticed that when trying to print our calendar from iCal, the event times just show up as ... rather than showing the time. This does not happen for any other calendars, just our one that you can subscribe to. We are using proper ical format to generate our calendar, so I have no idea why this would be happening. Has anyone seen this before?

Yes. This has to do with one or more all-day recurring events that synced over from Outlook 2003 improperly. It seems to be a bug.
In order to fix this, you will have to look at the iPhone calendar and start browsing backwards (monthly view is most convenient) until you find the first day that shows no event (that has no dot in it). If you go back far enough, you should find one.
When you find the first day that shows no event, start browsing forwards until you find the first blank day that shows an event. This will be the first instance of the "bug".
When you find that day, start looking back to the day(s) before, and you will likely find an all-day recurring event (like a birthday, anniversary, etc.). Open the event, and look at the event dates. If the date is February 5, it should read Feb 5 to Feb 5. On my iPhone, it read Feb 5 to Feb 4. That end date was the day before. I manually fixed it to say Feb 5, and when I came back out of the event edit screen, that fixed the problem.
You may notice the problem reappear in future months. That is because there are other recurring events with the same problem. Unfortunately, the only way I found to fix this was to find each one with the technique I describe above, and fix them one by one. I was unable to fix them in Outlook (as they looked OK in Outlook), and there is no search feature on the iPhone to look for these.

  • Calendar shows dot for event, but no event scheduled

    For the month of Nov 07, my calendar shows a dot every day, indicating that an event is scheduled, even on the days when no events are scheduled. I've made sure outlook calendar is correct and synced repeatedly, yet the dots are still there. I've tried clicking on the days that erroneously show a dot, hoping I could delete an event, but no event displays. This happened before and after the latest update. Any help is appreciated.

    When I click on the day it says "No Events".
    I have people's birthday's that occur every year if that's what you mean by reoccurring, but who doesn't have that in their calendar?
    I can take the date back to 1997 to way before I started entering appointments and it still shows the "dots".
    The things I've read explain the "dots" mean I have an appointment on that day.
    I appreciate the help so far. Solving this would be a great improvement for my calendar!
    Thank you for your time.

    How come when I try to print from my iPad for example Tim Horton's WiFi to mu home Airprint printer it does not work.

    The Airprint printer must be on the same local network (LAN) for Airprint to work. You cannot print to your home printer using the WiFi at Tim Horton's.

  • IPad calendar showing duplicates half the time

    My iPad iCal shows duplicates of about half my calendar entries.  My calendars are Google calendar delegates, and I've never had any trouble with them syncing across my Macbook, Google account, or Android phone.  I do not use Mobile Me, and I have calendar syncing turned off in iTunes, so they should be syncing wirelessly through the google delegate. 
    So why does my iPad show duplicates half the time when my Macbook/phone/google don't?  Why are there duplicates only half the time?  How can I fix this without manually deleting and re-entering every event that shows up in duplicate?  (I can't just delete one of the duplicates - deleting one erases both.  If I re-enter it on my Macbook, it shows up as just one event, but it's a lot of work to do all of that manually).

    Settings > Date & Time > 24-hour time -Off.
    Also you might want to check time zone settings, and go into International and check the Region Format. Then do a reset of the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. That will restart the phone. This should correct it.

  • Subscribed Calendar shows only "New Event"s

    Hi there:
    I've searched and seen a few similar issues, but no resolution.
    I have published a Calendar, and sent an email invitation for subscription to it. The URL is similar to:
    webcal://ical.me.com/XXXXX/myCalendar.ics
    Subscribing to the Calendar isn't an issue, from other user's computer. The Calendar shows up fine, but all of its events have no content other than "New Event".
    Ideas?
    Thanks in advance for any insight,
    Patrick
    ps: all events in question are "All Day" events, FWIW.

  • Palm desktop calendar - in month view, event times are in wrong order!

    I use Palm Desktop 4.1.4 on my Windows XP machine (I don't own a PDA). I enter my appointments in Week view and they look fine, but when I go to Month view (I want to print this view), the events for a given day show up in the wrong order!
    For example, on one day I see:
    9a Event
    10:30a Event
    2p Event
    12p Event
    and on the next day I see:
    9a Event
    2p Event
    10a Event
    I tried changing things in Options and Preferences - no luck. I have messed around with it and can't figure out any weird pattern it might be sorting by (I've tried re-entering appointments to see whether it sorts by the last time they were entered/edited, and looked into whether it was sorting by category, length of event name, first digit of the time, length of time, alphabetically by event name, by whether it repeats/has a location/has a note/has an alarm/was entered by clicking once and typing or by right-clicking). It just seems baffling, and it definitely seems like a bug, since of course you'd want your events sorted by time.
    Does anyone know what's going on or have this problem?
    Thanks!
    Post relates to: None

    I had looked at this in response to another post, and didn't notice the same problem. But then I went back further and noticed it sure enough...it's only occasional.
    I haven't done any kind of analysis as you have apparently done, mostly because I don't really use the desktop application except occasionally.
    Thought maybe it sorts repeating events differently than single events, but I've seen it both ways, so that doesn't seem to be it.
    It doesn't bother me enough, but it certainly seems like it would warrant an email support request to Palm, to see if they have an answer.

  • Problem with Calendar showing first day events

    In my Java Bean, i have the following:
    public ResultSet getEvents(GregorianCalendar start, GregorianCalendar end)
              ResultSet rs = null;
              java.sql.Timestamp startDate = new java.sql.Timestamp(start.getTimeInMillis());
              java.sql.Timestamp endDate = new java.sql.Timestamp(end.getTimeInMillis());
              try {
              ps = con.prepareStatement("select * from events where startDate = '" + startDate + "' and startDate <= '" + endDate + "' order by startTime");
              rs = ps.executeQuery();
              catch (SQLException sqle) {}
              return rs;
    When ever my JSP page calls for this, it will not show the first day of the month Events. What am i doing wrong?

    I would guess that there's an SQLException being thrown, probably due to your database not liking the toString() output of Timestamp. Your code is eating SQLExceptions, though, so you'll never see the error.
    You've gone to the trouble of creating Timestamp objects, use them appropriately:ps = con.prepareStatement("select * from events where startDate >= ? and startDate <= ? order by startTime");
    ps.setTimestamp(1, startDate);
    ps.setTimestamp(2, endDate);
    rs = ps.executeQuery();

  • How to enable a printer which was offline for long time?

    Hi,
    One of our printers has not been used for a long time and was set to be permanently offline. Due to the need of printing, the printer was enabled. It is powered on (and can also be disabled and enabled) but is unable to print.
    Is there anything in SAP to check to see why it is failing to print?
    I have tried to check the status of this printer with other printer which is working fine. There is no difference in between their settings.
    The spool requests are waiting to be printed. I would like to check the ip addresses of the printers. Is it possible to find them through SAP. My O/S is Unix.
    Please help me to find the IP addresses of printers attached through SAP and I will try to check them first.
    Thanks
    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    Check SPAD -> output devices
    Check thats the printer is properly setup and it been handled by and active spool server, check that the printer ip-address is correct and the right method is in place.
    You can find the ip address of the printer by doing a ping <name of the printer> in a command prompt.

  • To Print the same page for Multiple times in SAPSCRIPT

    Hi All,
    I want to print the custom Invoice SAPSCRIPT to print 4 times with changes only in Header form as 'Original for Buyer', 'Duplicate for transport', Duplicate for Assesse, Triplicate for Central Excise,
    how to print in such a way,,where to write the logic.. kindly guide me,
    Thanks in Advance
    Kesav

    You can do that in the following way: use Customizing for example Transaction NACE...
    Select your output type and customize a second, third, fourth or fifth processing routine
    using the same Progam and Form but another Form Routine.
    The Nast-Output loops through up to the 5 form routines and can generate up to 5 printouts in this way .
    In the below descibed example will be 3 documents generated with only the VAR1-Info changed....
    example:
    TA NACE: Your output type -> Processing Routines -> Select "Print Output" -> select Details -> Add Processing2/3/4/5
    form routine "entry" for "Processing1"
    form routine "entry2" for "Processing2"
    form routine "entry3" for "Processing3"
    edit your print program:
    copy the old form "entry" or similar entry-routine from your print program
    to "entry2" and "entry3"
    report zprintprog.
    DATA VAR1(100) Type C.
    form entry using .....
    VAR1 = 'Original for Buyer'
    endorm.
    form entry2 using .....
    VAR1 = 'Duplicate for transport'
    endorm.
    form entry3 using .....
    VAR1 = 'Triplicate for Central'
    endform.
    ...you have to use the VAR1-variable in your form
    for example in a header-window...

  • Synching Calendar shows all day events over two days

    Hello, been playing around with this for the last hour.
    I run entourage and sync calendar events via itunes no problems, but today i noticed that some events for example birthdays were running across two days, checked them in calendar and they are fine, also check the events in ical and they are all set as one day.
    When i synch the phone, i get an event running across two days????
    tried various options, removing from one an sycnhing back and to, removed evertyhing from iphone and chose in itunes to Replace information on this iphone yet events are two days. Edit them on the phone and resynch and they appear again as two days.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for any advice offered?

    I did, and said that there are others. I did not however specify a specific thread.
    Is there some reason why you cannot search for answers using the search facility ?
    Its not difficult - just like using Google. there are a few threads i have seen in the last week or so, but I'm too lazy to point them out for you.

    I'm currently using iOS 8 on a new iPhone 6.  Swiping down to bring up the Notification Center reveals yesterday's calendar.
    Any idea how to fix this?

    You may still be affected by this. I had it set to manual and noticed the issue again today. Just changing this setting is enough to refresh the today view and correctly show today's appointments. You can also reselect your location to refresh this.
