Problems with mobile me ical all day events sync between desktop and iphone

I just noticed all of my all day events show up one day earlier on my iphone than what they are on ical on my desktop (which is correct). This includes both subscribed events and one I have entered. Any ideas on a fix, it is rather annoying at this point.

Hi. Sorry I don't have the answer. Just another person with the same problem. Must be a bug that needs fixing. Thanks for pointing out that the List view works. Although, when I click on the individual diary entries from the list view the event details show up the incorrect date and time. My entries are all 19 hours out. So an entry that should be Monday at 1pm, shows up as Sunday at 6pm. Very annoying.
Anyone else who can help with this problem?

ICal all-day event default time error

Searched this discussion and others but no help there. When I create an all-day event in iCal (time zone support on, set to America/Los Angeles)it reads as Casablanca, Monrovia when synced to Entourage. Due to corp policy I'm sync'ing with Outlook Exchange server via Entourage, sync'ing Entourage with iCal, iCal with MobileMe and MobileMe with iPhone. All works just fine in regular events ... only all-day events have this incorrect default time zone.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem. All day events created in iCal sync to the Exchange server as Casablanca time zone, which I believe is the same as GMT. Events created in Entourage sync without error. Most events created on a PC with Outlook sync fine all the way through to iCal. This seemed to start about the same time as your post, ie sometime around November. Prior to some time in the fall, all day events sync'd properly. I've posted this topic to the mactopia entourage forum but I haven't gotten a response there yet.
I'm using iCal 3.0.6, Entourage 2004 11.4.0, Mac OS 10.5.6. Any thoughts anyone? Apple?

Converted Outlook to iCal - All day events messed up

I converted Outlook calendar via O2M and imported it into iCal on iMac. The all-day events are blocking up time from 12:00am to 12:00am rather than appearing in the all-day box at the top of the day. When I click on the event, the "Make All-Day Event" selection is grayed out and I cannot select it. The events are blocking up and crowding my calendar and I can't see anything. I don't want to delete and re-enter all events. Just bought the iMac a week ago. What's the fix?

Found this on another topic and it fixed my problem:
Re: AppleScript to make All-Day Events?
Feb 2, 2006 1:28 AM (in response to Roger Barre)
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"

All day events sync as two day events on iPhone (using MobileMe)

After starting to use MobileMe to sync calendars and contacts, I've started to have an issue with events that are marked "all day". As far as I can tell, regular timed events seem to sync correctly, but my "all day" events get put on the iPhone as two day events. I thought it might be a DST issue, but when I look at the details of the event it looks as though it's actually changing it to a two day event.
For example, someone's birthday in iCal desktop app will have the details:
all day
from: July 3
to: July 3
But on my iPhone it gets synced as:
all day
from: July 3
to: July 4
What makes this even more weird, is that when I log onto me.com, and look at the iCal web app, my "all day" events are all one day early. For the examply above, the event will appear on July 2.
This has really got me puzzled...anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Kenton

Same issue with me almost exactly...but the all-day events on MobileMe and on my laptop iCal are actually on the correct day rather than the day earlier as you describe. Only the iPhone is out of whack compared to MobileMe and iCal.
I tried syncing with iTunes and when that didn't display my all-day events correctly, I sync'd over the air by turning on MobileMe Calendar push. Both ended up with many all-day events spanning 2 consecutive days. However, not all the all-day events were incorrect, but several were. I haven't been able to establish a pattern.
I am using an iPhone 8G 3G, my G4 Powerbook 12" running 10.4.11, and a MobileMe account.
I spent a hour or two on the Apple site speaking with tech support over live internet chat. I was told there were lots and lots of sync issues going on and the tech was unable to solve my issue. He mentioned casually that many of the sync problems were occurring on systems running 10.4.11.
It would be encouraging to learn if this bug that puts all-day events across two consecutive days only on the iPhone (but not on MobileMe or iCal application) is happening to others out there.
Any others out there?

The headteacher has just upgraded his Ipad to I07 and when he goes into the school shared calendar any all day events come out red and then other events on that day are obscured

The headteacher has just upgraded his Ipad to I07 and when he goes into the school shared calendar any all day events come out red and then other events on that day are obscured as the red covers the whole day

I have the same proble. In all views all day events don't show up. If I search for the event, there is a result but it does not appear in the calendar.

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

Solutions?

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

ICal all-day event problem

iCal on my iPad worked fine for a while. Now, many of my all day events (but not all of them) are showing up a day early on my iPad on week view. Everything is fine on all other devices (iPhone, MacBook) and all is fine on iPad on day, month and list view. All timed events are in the right place. But all day events in week view are a disaster and turning off the iPad isn't helping. Any advice?

Did you travel out of your home time zone and first notice the problem then? I spent an hour and a half on the phone with Apple Care while I was in the Central zone (I live in Eastern) and nothing the supervisor suggested worked (deleting the account, resetting, turning ipad off, etc). They'd bumped me up to a supervisor because the regular guy had no idea. Supervisor said no one on the internal tech board had seen that particular problem. The final assumption was it was a software glitch on my ipad--the advice was a complete restore which was going to have to wait until I returned home because he said it would take too long over the Verizon mi-fi I was using while traveling. Anyway--I got home to Eastern time, immediately pulled out the ipad to do the restore and all the all-day events were in the right place and have remained in the right place since then. My best guess is that it's a time zone issue but it doesn't make much sense. All my timed events stayed right where they were supposed to be the whole time (time zone support turned off).

How to view iCal all day events in notifications tab?

First of all I really don't like the new iCal app in ios7 but for now I am dealing with it and am contemplating getting a new app to use for my calendar. However I am trying to make this one work first. One of the problems I have is if I have iCal events that are scheduled as "all day" events, and when I swipe down to view my notifications tab it says I have no events even when I have an event for that day. However it shows up if I have a time for that event, ex: 8:00 am to 10:00am.
Is this a bug or is there a way to get them to show up? I have everything turned on in settings for the notifications tab settings.
My other issue with iCal is I have two calendars (one for work and one for home) and when I view my month, I want to be able to see the color of the event i have planned on certain days, instead it just shows me a grey dot for the days i have something planned. My ipad with ios7 shows me the view I want my iphone doesn't, just grey dots. This forces me to actually click on the day and then try to scroll through the day timeline to find my event.....any help?

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?

Nokia and iCal: all-day events

Whenever I use iSync to sync iCal and my E65, all-day events are sent to the phone as "meetings" that last from from 12:00am to 11:59pm instead of being synced as "notes". This is very annoying! Does anyone know of a solution? Here are my software versions:
Mac OS X: 10.4.10
iSync: 2.4
iCal: 2.0.5

I researched and researched, and it looks like Mac users are out of luck on this issue. Everything seemed to go wrong when Nokia changed to SyncML to sync their calendar and address book databases. Seems like Nokia & Apple would have resolved this issue by now. From what I've heard, it's been a problem for a long time.
So, I'm giving up for now until someone has an answer. I'm only going to put calendar events on my phone and just use that as my main calendar.
If anyone's interested, there is new software for S60 called "Handy Calendar" by Epocware. It is an amazing replacement for the built-in Nokia calendar app. The one big improvement is that you can make all-day events repeat, unlike on Nokia's calendar. It uses the same database as Nokia's calendar, so you can switch between the 2 with no problems. It also has a nice, clean, good-looking interface. Unfortunately it uses Nokia's SyncML as well, so it doesn't help with iCal.
Oh, well... waiting for a fix...

E65 and iCal: all-day events

Whenever I use iSync to sync iCal and my E65, all-day events are sent to the phone as "meetings" that last from from 12:00am to 11:59pm instead of being synced as "notes". I've tried everything I can think of, including syncing to Google Calendars online instead. I get the same issue. This is very annoying! Does anyone know of a solution? Or does anyone know of a different calendar program I can use?
Here are my software versions:

Some Ical all-day events automatically move to Jan 1 2000 (01/01/2000)

I keep getting ical reminders for events bearing the date of Jan 01 2000. I checked such date in iCal and I noticed that I had over 30 events set for that date. Some are marked as "detached events" from recurring events set in 2006. What is going on??

I have the exact same problem. I have entered birthdays for people I know starting with the year of their birth and never ending, an all-day event. They now don't show in 2007, but there is a detached event on January 1, 2000. When I delete that event and all subsequent versions of it, the initial event now ends in 2006 or 2007, and I have to set the repeat to end Never again. I fixed all the ones from February that showed up. Now I notice that a huge amount of the other birthdays (all day events) that I have entered are doing it now, and we are talking well over 40 of them. I don't understand why it keeps creating these detached events. I also publish my calendars, if that makes any difference.

Help - iCal All Day Events Not Syncing on Exchange 2007

When I enter an all day event in iCal it does not sync to my Touch Pro 2 through Exchange 2007. I see the event in OWA and also in Entourage through Sync Services but it simply does not come onto the TP2. All day events entered in Entourage or OWA DO show up in the TP2. Strange but very frustrating because I like to enter my events using Launchbar which works with iCal only.
I don't think I had this problem with 10.5
Greatly Appreciate Help.

I've noticed a similar problem. Previously, "all day" events listed correctly in both iCal (on my Mac) and in the calendar on my iPhone. Now, all day events on the iPhone cover the entire day, set to a time of 12 am to 12 pm.
I'm not sure if this is related to 10.6.4 or my recent update to iOS4 on the phone.

Ical all day events show over 2 days during standard time (Nov-Apr)

Any all day event (either a holiday or an event I have repeating every year like a birthday) I have on my calender during standard time (from November to April) shows over a two day period.
For example, Christmas Eve shows up on Dec. 23 and 24.
I have tried syncing with time zone support on and off. I have tried using the same time zone in a different hemisphere. I had this problem last year and again this year. Once we switch to daylight savings the event show correctly.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the link--seems I'll just have to deal with the Palm/iCal calendaring anomalies. Do these "representation disconnects" have anything to do with the weird behavior of my iCal calendars, now that I've synced my palm data to iCal? Immediately after the original Palm/iCal sync, the calendars came up in iCal with no problem. Once I quit iCal, however, and then re-opened it, the list of calendars had disappeared from the "Calendars" pane to the left of the grid, and all of the events had disappeared as well.
As someone reported elsewhere in this forum, changing the viewing mode (day, week or month) causes the events themselves to reappear, but the "Calendars" pane remains blank.
I had hoped to ditch palm desktop and streamline my calendar /contact--computer/iPhone syncing, but iCal's odd behavior is making me question whether or not it is stable enough to fully rely on.
Is there anything that will make the calendars and events perform more reliably?

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.
