Recurring all day events

Please could support for weekly/monthly recurring all day events be added back into PC Suite?
In the past, calendar entries of this type were correctly synced to the phone. Since I've upgraded to the latest version of PC Suite this functionality has gone and only the first occurence is synced.
I appreciate that the phone doesn't natively support all day recurrence but that didn't seem to present a problem in the past.
All day recurring events are the intuitive way to diarize in many situations...
For example, I work on many different customer sites througout the week. For days when I am on a customer site, I also need to schedule individual meetings to take place on that site.
Prior to the update to PC Suite I was able to use an all day event to describe which location I would be in and individual meetings to describe what I would be doing while I was there. If I have to switch to using an appointment to also describe where I am each day the calendar quickly becomes very messy and Outlook complains that the appointments overlap.
Reading through the forums the most common suggestion is essentially to "change the way that you use Outlook" which if I was the only person managing my calendar wouldn't be too difficult. Unfortunately my calendar can be accessed and managed by many other people and I don't think it's sensible that I should train other users to do something that's counter-intuitive just because of a limitation of PC Sync!
FYI I'm running N95 classic V21.0.016, Outlook 2003 & PC Suite 6.85.14.1
If anyone can provide an insight into why this functionality was removed or some workaround that I haven't considered I'd be grateful.
Regards
Mark

in the past (I mean 2-3 years ago with some S40 phones some recurring items where split by pc sync toidividual items in phone but that created more problems because any change to such events would no longer sync properly (because you had one meeting in Outlook (that only had a recurring tag with many meetings in phone with no recurring tag) and also individual many meetings in phone will fill the phone memory.
As frustrating it may be, this is not a simple limitation of pc sync, but a fact that Nokia phones have different data models than Outlook.

  • Help Moving Recurring All-Day Events

    In Calendar on OS X 10.10.2, I have an All-Day event repeating Daily for five days, from Monday - Friday.  This is for a week of vacation.  So, I have:
    All-Day: checked
    Starts: 09/14/2015
    Ends: 09/14/2015
    Repeat: Every Day
    End Repeat: On Date   09/18/2015
    I want to move all of the 5 recurrences out a week, as my vacation schedule changed.  However, when I select the first instance of the recurring event and change the date to 09/21/2015, Calendar immediately moves the Monday instance to the following week, and I never have a chance to move the entire series.
    Does anybody have an idea on how to make this work?  Is it a bug, or are my parameters set up wrong?  Thank you.

    Since it covers an entire week, why not set the start day as (for example) 9/21/2015 and the end date as 9/25. Make it all one event and then delete the others.

  • Daily view displays recurring one day events for 2 days.

    There are a number of recurring all day events (birthdays for example). From a browser accessing a group Wiki calendar, the daily view will display the event on BOTH the day it's scheduled for and on the next day as well.
    The views for week and month are correct as are all views (even daily) from within iCal.
    This happens from both Firefox and Safari.
    Any idea how to address?

    I just deleted the entire Google-account from the Pre calendar and re-added it. It seems that all events show up correctly now

  • Strange error when changing an all-day event

    Hello,
    I have a recurring all-day event that I wanted to change to 8-10pm on a given day. When I tried, I got this error message:
    "You can not change this event to a timed event because this recurrent event already has a detached event"
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Can you change any day, or is it just one specific day? Have in fact you already changed one of the occurrences of this event?

  • All-Day events showing up in Weekly view but not Monthly view

    Okay, so I have about 80 All-Day events that I am setting up. They are not recurring events but all will be multiple day events. I am setting all events up to have two alarms, one alarm being a cut off date specific to that event and the other alarm corresponding to a group meeting date prior to each event.
    Since about 95% of these All-Day events will occur on the weekends, I will have several different All-Day events on each weekend. What it happening is that when viewed by month, I am not seeing all of the All-Day events but when viewed by Week, all All-Day events are there and editable.
    I thought it might be a result of space constraints so I deleted events on days where I had several simultaneous events and that did not allow "hidden" events in month view to become visible.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    One more thing, it prints just fine in Month View. Bizarre.

  • All Day Events Lengthened

    I'm experiencing an issue with all day events. Using my Presidents' Day event as as example. In Entourage and iCal it shows as a single day event. When I sync it with my iPhone, the event ends up being two days long. I've checked time zones in all programs (Entourage, iCal, iTunes) and they are all aligned as they should be.
    Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Does anyone have a solution or thoughts?
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem. It gets really confusing for me becuase I'm using the "All Day Event" to show which administrator has coverage for each day. Entourage and iCal display beautifully/correctly but when syncing to the iPhone I have two administrators listed each day when only one should be coverina a 24 hour period.
    I can sync directly from my PC at work but then I lose all of my personal calendar items that I have on iCal at home.
    Any suggestions? This is a 5 day per week, cycling (not recurring) date issue so it involves hundreds of instances per year. ...very frustrating.

  • All-day events in iCal become 2-day events on iPhone

    Since I updated to 1.1.2, all my all-day events in iCal become 2-day events on the iPhone. Has anyone else had this problem? I can reset the end time on the iPhone, but I have lots of recurring monthly events and it would take forever to do this manually.

    I have the very same issue. I solved it once somehow but now it's back. I use Plaxo to sync between Outlook-iCal-iPhone and maybe that somehow has confused the phone. Let me know if you find any solutions. I will do the same.

  • 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.

  • Duplicate all-day events on calendar

    I noticed that on my iPod Touch calendar, all of my all-day events go on for two days. For example, a person's birthday is showing up as going from Dec. 1-Dec. 2. On my computer's iCal, all of my all-day events look normal. What could be causing this?

    I've had this happen to some of my all day events also. Somehow the events end up going from 11pm to 11pm (instead of 12am to 12am) and thus they span two days.
    I'm still not entirely sure what has caused this. I've also had some of these events (these are mostly recurring events, like birthdays) that have ended up on a different day entirely - June 6 instead of October 31, for instance. In those cases the Recurring Event props got changed from a specific date to 'third Wednesday' or some such.
    I have had to edit manually in Outlook -- if they say 11pm to 11pm, change it to 12am instead. And check the recurring props to be sure they are correct.
    You might also want to check your location settings. I have sort of wondered if this has to do with location as I had it set to Indianapolis (which only started observing DST last year - maybe that isn't factored into the software yet?) and wondered if that is what messed things up, since all day events did shift by 1 hour. I have location set to New York now but can't prove that fixed anything -- I found a few more events messed up today, but then just now remembered to check World Clock, and it was still set to Indy. <shrug>

  • Daylight savings all-day events issues in updated iCal for iPad

    After purchasing new MBP, Genius Bar told me to update to new iCal. I have noticed that any all-day events taking place on the date that daylight savings begins (3/13/11 i.e.) lasts on iPad's iCal for two days. When I attempt to edit, event still displays for two days. Guessing it is because that day technically lasts for only 23 hours. Genius Bar consultant had no suggestions for a remedy. This error appears for 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 daylight savings beginning dates. The error doesn't seem to be a problem for the MBP or my iPhone.

    I've experienced the same problem.  I set up a recurring one day event on the first of each month - come April 1 in 2012 the event is spread over 2 days (the end of daylight savings time in Australia) from April onwards.  I can muck around with the event and have it set at one day from April1 onwards in 2012 but there's a recurring event bug related to daylight savings.  I wonder if any alarms people have set for that day will again experience the problems from the past?

  • WHY DOES SYNCING ALL DAY EVENTS WITH MOBILE ME ADDS EXTRA DAY?

    I have 3 computers and an iPad that I sync with MobileMe. Recently I made a calendar entry (All Day) and all of the calendars on my computers synced perfectly. The iPad, however, added an extra day so instead of having an All Day event that began on 11 March and ended on 20 March my iPad showed the event ending on 21 March. I tried restoring my software on the iPad (I am running iOS 4.3) and then restoring all of my applications. The calendar issue persists.
    Has anyone else had this same problem?

    I have a similar problem, all day recurring events appear 1 day earlier on iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.3.2 and Outlook 2003. For some reason, this doesn't apply to ALL all-day events, just some of them (mostly birthdays), however in Outlook they are all correct.I have tried overwriting all Calendar entries on the iPhone, but no difference. This problem occurred with iTunes 10.2.1 and also 10.2.2 and also with iOS 4.3.1. Something similar happened last year when Apple introduced a problem with iTunes 9. I don't live in NZ, I'm from the UK.

  • Birthday not as all day event

    how can I make birthdays NOT look like all day events? so that I can set an alarm at whatever time I prefer
    how can I set a reminder for an all day event? does it have to go off at midnight?

    You cannot, because by definition, the Birthdays calendar created in iCal and driven by data entered in the Address Book is a read-only object. You cannot modify it.
    You can avoid this problem by turning off this feature and instead using MenuCalendarClock for iCal from objectpark software. The registered version allows batch updates of data in the Address Book birthdays data field, and a generalized, configurable alarm option.
    If you want more flexibility, you will have to create recurring records manually in iCal with individual alarms, or import the data using AppleScript.

  • 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

    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.

  • Multiple All Day Events Missing in Week View

    Hello,
    I just got my first BB a Curve 8900 and am very impressed.
    The only thing I don't like is that if I have more than one all day event on a particular day, in Week View I can't see them.
    (I've used a variety of other phones/PDAs over the years and this is not normally an issue)
    I've googled this and haven't found much relating to it, other than people not seeing all day events on the home screen or something.
    Is this a BB 'feature'? Is there a work around?
    I'd like to be able to see my week ahead at a glance and don't seem to be able to.
    Thanks in advance. 

    Hello RobertBL,
    I have the same problem. In week view i only see 1 event on days with multiple day events. I use firmware version 4.6.1.152 (platform 4.2.0.91). My Curve 8900 is T-Mobile branded (Netherlands). Until now i haven't found a work around. In other calendars (pocket informant and Agendus) i don't have this problem in weekview, so it must be a BB firmware bug.

  • 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.
