Timed muti day event in month view

Can someone please help. I need help with the 'month' display of iCal. If I have a multi-day event, iCal shows solid bar between the start day and the end day.
However, if a start time on the first day of the multi-day event is entered, it is only this first day which shows up in the month view. There is no solid bar covering all the days and at only a glance of the 'month' view, it looks like the multi-day event is actually just a single-day event.
Can someone please help.
Thanks

If it has a start time iCal doesn't consider it a multi-day event, so in month view only displays it on a single day, which is definitely misleading. You should probably tell Apple's OS X Feedback about it.

  • Multi day events in Month View.

    Multi day events in month view only display on the first day. Checking all day event fixes this, but none of my multi day events are in fact all day. If I sync with my iphone, it does mark both days on the multi day event in month view.
    In week view they display correctly, but I like to have the month drawn out.
    I am surprised to come across this hang up. Other calendars I have used always displayed such events across the month view.
    Is this a bug or lack of feature?

    Bug or design flaw?
    Try setting it as a recurring event (yeah, I know, it's not a great solution, but it gets the job done)

  • ICal multi-day (not all day) event  in Month view not displayed over days

    What is it when I have an event that starts on a Wednesday and 4:00pm and goes to Friday at 6:00pm (not clicked as an All Day Event), (in Month view) the only day showing the event is the first day?! Shouldn't it show it over the course of the 3 days!? Outlook does that (I can't believe I just referenced Outlook in an Apple Discussion... in a positive light no less). Is it a setting?

    Yes, Apple any help for this would be great. The only way I've come to work around is to use multiple events. So for a flight out of town would be one event, and the return another. I would create a third event then for the actual time out of town. There must be some way to easily fix this.

  • How can you view multi day events in month view without having to check the "all-day" box?

    I have multi-day events that I would like to be able to view in the month view.  The only way that I have found to do this is to make the event a "all-day" event.  Is there another way to view these events in month view, or am I stuck? 

    It shows multi-day events that are "all-day" events.
    But for a non "all-day" event that happens to span multiple days, it only shows the first day

  • Showing more All-Day Events in Month View?

    Even with the iCal window maximized, when more than 4 All-Day events take place on the same day, Month View shows "..." instead of the usual All-Day colour bar, even if there's still half the space left in 'box' for that day....
    To be clear: it shows the first 4 colour bars for the corresponding all-day events, then "..." at the top to show there are more, you have to switch to Week or Day view to see them
    I looked at the plist and can't figure what could be changed.... any tips? It would really be convenient to see the maximum possible number of All-Day events even in Month view.
    Merci!

    Unfortunately, it appears that this is intentional. The iCal Help file states:
    "If you're in Month view and you see three dots (an ellipsis) at the top of the day, there is not enough room to show all the events on that day. To see all the events in Day view, double-click the ellipsis."
    I suspect that half of the box is saved for all-day events and half for timed events. On my iMac G3, I get three dots and 3 events, on my G5 with a much larger screen I get three dots and 4 events. If anyone figures out how to alot more space to all-day events, it would be a big help.

  • Why won't iCal display multi-day events in month view?

    This is frustrating. If someone sends me a calendar event that lasts multiple days from Calendar software that ACTUALLY WORKS  (hint hint hint Google Calendar, Outlook), and if I accept this event, it only displays the FIRST DAY of the event in iCal's month view. It should put a solid bar through every date included in the duration of the event. How is it that this has not been fixed yet???

  • All-Day Events in Month View

    When I have more than two all-day events (Just one day) that are in different categories in one day, only two show. The others are hidden and you have to open the week or day calendar to view them. When the events are regular events there is not a problem, but I would like to know how to be able to view three all-day events or more from the month view. Is this even possible?

    Same problem here; if I EVER find out the solution I will post it here.

  • 3 Dots in Corner Of Day Box in Month View

    When in the month view of iCal several days of every month have 3 periods/dots in the upper left hand corner of the day box that can't be deleted. Ever see this and can they be erased.
    Thanks

    My problem is related, and I would like to display these. Is there an override? There seems to be at least 1/2 of each daily box empty.
    ical: show all-day events on monthly view?
    I use iCal to track rentals in a couple of vacation apartments I manage. I have separate calendars for each, and more for personal items, etc., and a typical event would cover 7 days as an all-day event. When I checkmark 4 calendars, only 3 events will show up in the monthly view, the other(s) being designated as 3 dashes instead of the info (---). Is there a way to override this so I can quickly see what is booked for an entire month? Switching back and forth to weekly view doesn't cut it, when I need to answer availability questions quickly.

  • Lion: Is it possible to fix the behavior of New Event in Month View?

    I desperately want to be able to choose the default length of new events added while in month view.
    I view iCal in Month View and I'm often adding events for next week rather than the current week.  When adding a new event while in Month View, iCal assumes the event is all day long and there's no preference to change this behavior.  To change the event to the length of a typical meeting, you have to:
    Double click the event.
    Then click EDIT.
    Then click to deselect the "ALL DAY" checkbox.
    Click to enter a new time for the event to start.
    Then click a new time for the event to end because iCal assumes the event is 8 hours long.
    If the event you're adding starts after 4PM, you're going to have to change the end DATE too, because iCal assumed the event lasted into the next day.
    MY GOD!  All of that, just to add a 1 hour meeting at 4:30 next Tuesday.
    Sure, I could use the new + button to add an event at a specific time, but for that 4:30 meeting, iCal still assumes the meeting lasts until 12:30 the next morning, which means a ton of click click clicking to edit the event iCal got wrong in the first place.
    I realize I can type out the specifics in that silly bouncy New Event "+" box...  but it's annoying to have to type all of that when, previously, all I had to do was double click next Tuesday and type "Meeting with john" and set the time to 4:30.
    The new iCal is infuriating.  I'm especially shocked that clicking "New Event" in the menubar doesn't open a new event to edit.  Instead, it opens the silly bouncy "+" box.  If I wanted that, I'd have clicked in the stupid + box!  I'm downright shocked by the poor UI decisions in the new iCal.  I assumed this stuff would be fixed in 10.7.1.  Obviously not.

    Sadly, I didn't.  iCal is click intensive these days unless you type everything out and get it exactly right, including some things (like which calendar) that you don't get the opportunity to set the first time.
    The solution is really simple.  Double Clicking on a day while in month view shouldn't create a new day-long event.  It should open the gray edit event pop up box so I can create a new event with the correct info the first time (which calendar, notes, etc).  The current way is to create a new event and then double click THAT to fix it.
    For example: Want to create a new event using your Work calendar?  Unless your Work Calendar is your default or the last calendar you used, you can't.  You can only create a new event using whichever calendar pops up, and then you have to double click the event you created so you can fix it.
    Using the + sign popup box for inputing using native language works when what you need to do is simple.  The moment you want to create a new event that isn't dead simple, you're lost in a sea of extra useless clicks to acomplish what should be a simple task because there is no way to get it right the first time,
    I'm not convinced anyone at Apple uses iCal on a Mac these days.  They probably use iPads, which is why they don't realize how much of a step backward the new iCal for Mac is.

  • With iCal can I hide repetitive events in month view only?

    I was wondering if it was possible to hide repetitive events in month view but have them show in week and day views. For instance, I have my class schedule on iCal but I don't want to see it when I look at the month view, I just want to see events that are not repetitive, such as exam/test events. If anyone can help, that would be awesome. Thanks.

    jk_baller23,
    You could create a separate calendar for repetitive events, and uncheck them when using the day/week view.

  • Ical cannot create event in month view

    iCal cannot create event in month view. Is this a bug?
    I've tried double clicking in a day as I always did but nothing.

    Ko be,
    Application UI issues are in many cases, caused by a corrupt plist file.
    Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.

  • Can't add an event in month view

    I just installed Lion on 3 of my machines (2 iMacs and an air). On my one iMac I am unable to add an event in month view in iCal, I have tried every which way possible to add an event and nothing. However I am able to add event in day and week view. Also, when I go to add an event in month view while I don't get a response on the troubled iMac my other two computers show that and untitled event was added where I was attempting to add the event. Has anyone else experience this problem after installing Lion?

    Tim,
    Try refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To get to the Library folder use Finder>Go>Depress the "Option" Key and select LIbrary. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop. Then log out/in or restart.

  • Seeing all events in month view

    I need to be able to see all of my events in a day, while in month view. But instead on days I have 4 or more all day events I only see one or two all day events and only three dots show above these.
    How can I see all of these events while viewing the Monthly view?

    R K,
    In that case you might want to submit iCal Feedback.

  • Order of all day events • printing list view without empty days

    I have only just started to use iCal in a work context. I need to programme over 500 events in several different locations (probably up to 10 locations on one day). I have divided these locations into five regions, and have made a calendar for each region.
    Times are not important - just the dates, so I have been entering these events as all day events. What I would like to be able to do is ensure that in the month view (and particularly the print out) that the events I put in are always ordered in the same order that I have set up the calendars in the sidebar (I would also like more than 4 events displayed per day in the month view, but that's another matter!). I have been looking on these discussion boards and elsewhere on the internet and this appears to be a feature that many users would like implemented.
    I would also then like to be able to print out separate list views for each region (calendar), but missing out the empty days. This also seems to be a feature that is wished for by many users, and has been requested for some time.
    Any news on whether such changes will be made? Come on Apple, I mostly love your hardware and software, but there are quite a few of these little functionality issues scattered around the place.

    In short, no - there is nothing you can do to determine the the display order of a series of all-day events in iCal. While the appear to generally be listed either in the order in which they were created or in the order in which your calendars appear in the left sidebar, even this is not always the case.

  • Can I change the way iCal displays events in Month view?

    I don't like the way iCal in the new OS displays events in Month view.  It's counter intuitive to have the time of the event be at the far right and grayed out.  I find myself staring and slowly scanning down the display just to find out when I have to be at an appointment.  I wish they had stayed with the other display, not only was it much clearer, it also word wrapped so you could see the entire description.  I have blank space at the bottom of the day, and at the same time missing information because of the lack of wrapped text.

    Hi Daniel,
    The option you have there is to change the calendar of the event (currently the "University" calendar in your screen shot) not the colour.  It is the calendars that have colours in iCal not the events.
    To change the calendar colour in OSX 10.7:
    Click Calendars (in the top-left corner of the iCal window), and select the calendar by clicking its name in the Calendars pop-up list.
    Choose Edit > Get Info.
    Choose a new colour from the pop-up menu in the top-right corner of the Info window.
    To customize the colour, choose Other, and then make your colour selections in the Colours window.
    I hope that helps.
    Best wishes
    John M
