iCal all-day events causing MobileMe calendars to hiccup?

We received a tip from a frustrated reader this morning noting that when he published a calendar to MobileMe with iCal, it wasn't showing up if there were any all-day events in the calendar.

I sorted through a few different examples and was able to verify that any calendar with 'all-day' events just doesn't publish. Of course, you'll end up with a URL, but it will go to Apple's default 404 page for Mobile Me. A quick browse through the Apple support discussions will tell you that it's not an isolated incident... the thread can be found here.

We're being told that Apple is currently working on a fix for this problem, but we thought it would be a valuable heads-up for our readers. If you have to publish to MobileMe, we'd suggest removing 'all-day' events from your calendars (or changing them to fixed-duration events) until Apple fixes this issue.

Thanks, Bob!

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
