Repeating Event Question

Is there any way to specify that an event repeats every third Wednesday of the month in the calendar app?

There is not. You have to do that on your computer's PIM program (iCal or Outlook) and then sync that to the iPhone.

  • Repeated events duplicate in iCal if modified on iOS

    I'm posting a more generalized version of this question (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2603361&tstart=0); encountering the same issue on an iPod Touch syncing over USB would seem to indicate that neither MobileMe nor anything specific to an iPhone is at fault. My apologies if this is in violation of this forum's rules of etiquette.
    Here's how I phrased it on the Feedback page, where I submitted a bug report regarding this issue:
    If a repeating event is created in Calendar on iPod Touch (4.2.1), then synced to iCal using iTunes (USB cable sync, rather than MobileMe), then edited on the iPod Touch (i.e. the date or time is changed for all future events), then the iPod Touch is synced again, this will result in two repeating events in iCal on the Mac: one that reflects the changed version of the event, and one that is the original version of the event, each following their own repeating schedule. Please advise as to possible solutions.
    Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated. She's got an iMac mid-2008 running 10.5.8, iCal 3.0.8, iTunes 10.1.1, and her iPod Touch is a fourth-gen running 4.2.1. She's quite angry about this issue, and I fear she's about to give up on Apple entirely as a result.

    Am facing the same issue with an iPad; but this is not the first time I've seen this happen. It has also happened when syncing from iCal to a Blackberry Curve via Blackberry Desktop Manager. Any repeated events - and not just from the iOS side of things - ANY repeated events cause this to happen.
    iCal has the correct number of events and times, but as soon as you sync to another device, it becomes unusable. My wife runs a cleaning business where she constantly has to rearrange schedules for repeating customers. As soon as she does it once, she's got 2 copies of the same. Change the event twice, and suddenly she has 4 copies.
    Please help.

  • Can i set a repeating event for every 5 days?

    Can a repeating event be set on the iPhone 5S running IOS 7.0x for an interval of less than a week but more than a day?

    ■ Easiest method, if you allow firefox to tabs you used then on restarting I believe it also retains the zoom settings
    * '''Tools -> Options -> General -> Startup = use current pages'''
    ■ There are also extensions that can be used, some allow individual sites to have individual settings. Look at the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/772884 this thread] which also discusses related matters.
    ■ The best method if you need the same effest accross all sites is probably changing one of the preferences within the config files, it is discussed in the above linked thread and also in this MozzillaZine article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Layout.css.dpi

  • Problem with published cal:repeating event Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun every 3 weeks

    I have an event that repeats thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday every three weeks. I can set it up by changing my week to start on Monday. It is correct in iCal and on me.com.
    Subscribers to the calendar however see the calendar wrong. They see a repeating event every Sunday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
    So for this week I see the event on 7/15, 7/16, 7/17, 7/18/10.
    But subscribers see it on 7/11, 7/15, 7/16, 7/17/10. So Sunday is always wrong.
    Any idea how to fix this? It used to work prior to either 10.6.4 or iOS 4 or iPhone 4 screwed up my calendars. I’ve restored them but this is the only thing still broken.
    Thanks!

    Greetings,
    Any idea how to fix this? It used to work prior to either 10.6.4 or iOS 4 or iPhone 4 screwed up my calendars. I’ve restored them but this is the only thing still broken.
    Updates do not inherently break calendars. They can uncover pre-existing data corruption in a database which is why issues can be triggered by updates. Think of an update as getting your car washed. If the car's paint is already chipped or flaking, paint is going to come off when it goes through the wash. I'm glad you had backups and were able to restore your calendars.
    To try and resolve your issue:
    __First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
    __Un-publish the calendar.
    __Export the calendar holding this recurring event as an ICS file: File > Export > Export.
    __Delete the calendar in question from iCal
    __Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    __NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    __Once the computer is restarted, double-click the ICS you exported to re-add it.
    __Re-publish the calendar
    If the issue persists at this point, I would delete this recurring event and re-create it as it's entry in the iCal database may be damaged.
    Hope that helps.

  • Repeating event: Can't delete - pops back up

    Hi,
    I have several weekly repeating events. Usually, during my vacation or on other occasions, I simply deleted the repeating events for these out-of-the-row week - until now.
    All of a sudden iCal won't let me delete these events anymore. Well - it asks the standard question if it should remove all following repeating events or just this one. I select "just this one" - and iCal deletes it for about 3 or 4 seconds. And then - surprise! - it's back there!
    Feel kind of fooled here..
    Hint: Since some months, i synchronize my iCal with an iPod. Maybe it has to do with it. But it functioned even then until today...

    Hey Foxboy71,
    Really sorry, this is completely off-topic, but there's no private messaging on the Apple Forums.  I note you used to use a TASCAM FireOne, and I was hoping you could tell me whether the line outputs on the rear are balanced or unbalanced stereo?  TASCAM dropped the ball on this one regarding the documentation and I've been calling every shop I can find that ever stocked this thing and still haven't got a definitive answer
    Like I say, sorry for hijacking the thread, but you've no idea how hard it is to find someone who's actually used one of these!
    Regards,
    S.

  • Can I switch calendars (Ex. "night shift" to "day shift" cal) with a repeating event, but ONLY for that one event??  It asks "for all events or only this event" if i change the time.  But it changes ALL events when i try and switch calendars.  Any help??

    I have 2 calendars set up for my work schedule, a "night shift" and "day shift" calendar.  I've set up repeating events fro Fri/Sat/Sun 3-11pm "night shifts" and Mon/Tues 7am-3pm "day shifts".  But lets say for example that I swap shifts and instead of working nights on Saturday like I normally would, I am now working days.  I want to change that in my calendar.  When I go to change the event, if i change the TIME it asks if i want to change all event or ONLY this event.  no problem....just this single event.  but when i go to change the event from the "night shift" calendar to the "day shift" calendar, it changes ALL the repeating events, and not just that one single event.   can anyone help with this???  am i doing something wrong?  is there a way to do this or not with the new iCal program???  i used to do this and never had any problems.    Thank you!

    You need to follow iPhoto terms since we only know what you tell us
    what are you calling folders - in iPhoto folders can not hold photos - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
    The basic default view of photo is by event (iPhoto '08 and later)
    Exactly what you you trying to do?

  • High school block schedule repeating events

    I'm a high school teacher looking forward to the upcoming fall schedule. I teach at a school where even period and odd period classes are taught on alternate days and I teach only odd schedule classes. So, one week the class is taught on Mon, Wed, Fri and the next week it is Tu and Th except for weeks that have holidays. What is the best way to use repeating events and make up the schedule for this semester (ending 1/28/08 so I also know at a glance what days I'm available to substitute for other instructors?

  • Deleting a single instance of a repeating event deletes the series

    Has anyone noticed that deleting a single instance of a repeating event (e.g. deleting tomorrow's occurrence of a regular, weekly meeting) deletes the entire series? This is when using the calendar via the iCloud.com website. I've had this happen at least 3 times.
    Configuration:
         Ubuntu Linux 10.10
         Google Chrome 12.0.742.91
    Andrew

    This happens without iCloud when you sync your calendar to MS Outlook/Exchange - it always deletes the whole series and makes it so I can never delete items from iPhone or iPad.  IOS calendar is pretty lousy - won't let you edit things like the reminder time or location of the meeting, etc.  when it comes through sync with Outlook/Exchange.
    Wish Apple would actually make their calendar app useful or let a third party release a better one.  Same goes for managing Tasks. E-mail is pretty good, but Calendar and Task management is lousy.  And we don't even get to rate these apps like we do 3rd party apps.

  • Is there any way to customize a repeat event in iCal on my iPad?

    On my old MacBook, I was able to customize a repeat event, I.e., plan a recurring event for the first Thursday of every month, as opposed to the first of every month. I am attempting to switch to my new iPad, and cannot seem to find the function in iCal where I can do this.  Is there a way of doing this on the iPad? Or is the iPad less useful in this way too?

    You can't customize events like you can in iCal on the Mac - so using your words, I would say that the iPad is less useful in that regard.

  • If I have a repeating event in iCal, can I attach different docs, pdfs, etc., do the events. I am entering lessonplans and want each date to have an attachment.

    If I have a repeating event in iCal, can I attach different docs, pdfs, etc., do the events. I am entering lessonplans and want each date to have an attachment.

    Yes. As you edit each one, you will get a dialog asking whether you want to change all or just the current one.

  • How do you set repeat events for a given day of the week

    How do you set a repeat event in calender for a given day of the month.  Expample 3rd Wednesday each month?

    Have you read the app store guidelines yet?
    App Store Review Guidelines:
    http://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guidelines.html
    Don't go on what you've seen in the store - for every example you spot, there are hundreds that didn't make it in.
    As well, Apple is tightening up on reviews, etc.
    Loads of discussion on this in the iOS Dev Forums, BTW

  • ICal and Calendar sync one week apart for Repeating events

    Hi,
    First Post here. Look forward to sticking around. I have been reading the forum avidly since I received my iphone 3g on July 11th.
    So here is the issue: It is in regards to events that I created on my iphone that are scheduled to repeat each week, but then end on a certain day. This works perfectly fine in the iphone so far, but when it syncs with iCal it always ends one week earlier than on the iphone. The iphone will remain the proper date, whereas iCal ends one week early.
    I won't go on longer, but has anyone else had this issue? Maybe you should double check your dates if you have any repeated events scheduled in your phone, and compare them with iCal to double check they are right.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Cam

    I guess I should have added that with Outlook, I am connect to Exchange.

  • I am unable to cut repeat events on iCal.

    When I try to cut repeat events from iCal they either go and re-appear or just don't go at all, they then keep repeating more often finsihing with the same event up to 10 or more times on the day.

    The iPhone OS does not have any copy and paste functionality in it. Apple is well aware of this but they believed that there were many more important features to implement before it.
    However, the most recent version of the developer kit has references to cut and paste, so we may see that feature when iPhone 2.1 (as opposed to 2.01) is released.

  • Problems with Repeating Events on Palm and iCal

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with daily-repeating events entered into either my Palm or iCal. When I put events in my palm and sync them to iCal, the iCal calendars look right, but then the Palm events become truncated,i.e. only the first day of daily event will be visible. If I do nothing but just sync again, the events in iCal become weirdly duplicated, i.e. if an event had two repeats, the "original" occurrance will be there, along with a second, starting on next day of the series, lasting for the same number of repeats. Is there any way to make one calendar the overwriting calendar while using iSync? Or do you know of some other fix? This problem doesn't seem to affect other repeating events, either monthly or yearly.
    Thanks

    As I just posted in another thread, there are a whole series of 'representation disconnects' between the Palm calendaring application and iCal.
    While this article— iSync: About Syncing Recurrent Events Between iCal and Palm OS Based Devices—would lead to you believe that iSync is primarily the issue, it's not: this behavior occurs primarily because of the differences between the calendaring programs in each environment, and only secondarily because of the manner in which records are pushed and pulled by the synchronization framework.
    iSync itself is simply another compliant sync client, and there is unfortunately no workaround for the issues delineated in the article.

  • Calendar 7.0 does not alert me on monthly repeating  events

    SInce upgrading to an Intel Core i5 desktop running OS 10.9.2, my calendar does not alert me
    to monthly repeating events. Especially irritating because I rely on it to pay my bills on time.
    Checking settings today, I notice that Alerts is only set to my iCloud account. But both
    iCloud and my email are listed under 'accounts.'
    After resetting alerts to 'I tried switching off the iCloud account but on reopening
    Calendat it defauled to iCLoud again. I tried switching off iCloud but then ALL my
    Calendar listings disappeared! So obviously my Calendar sits on iCloud but refuses
    to alert me to monthly events.
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Ramon

    I just successfully created an event called "Good Saturday" for today (Saturday).  It was not a day long event - only an hour long event.
    I created a "Good Saturday" day long event for next Saturday and that succeeded.
    So I conclude the issue you are seeing must be with the calendar account(s) you are using.
    I also run the same build of calendar you have.
