Scheduling an Event to Repeat on the i'th week day of each month

Regular repeating, meetings generally fall on the something like the "second Tuesday of each month". This type if option is available on both my Palm devices and Google calendars. Is there a way to do this on the IPhone? It seems like a pretty basic scheduling option to be missing. Does Apple keep a list of enhancement requests and their status?

I know this may not be the way we all want it to work, but if you make your custom repeat on your computer and then sync to the phone, it will work fine. That is, if you make an event in outlook (I'm on a mac so I use iCal, but I'm pretty sure it works the same) and set the repeat to the 2nd Tuesday of each month, when you sync and then look at the event on your iphone, you'll see the repeat is set to "custom", and when you tap the edit button, you'll see that it says "second Tuesday of each month".
I agree this functionality should be in the iphone itself, as it can recognize the repeats, but at least at this point they can't be edited on the iphone itself but for the simple set of choices there.

  • Define event to repeat on the last day of each month?

    I want to create a repeating event for the last day of each month. Is this possible?

    Unfortunately Apple does not have an option available that allows you to add an event repeating on the last day of the month. An "OK" way around this would be to repeat on the 1st of every month and send a reminder a day earlier. I know this is less then perfect but the only option currently available. If you happen to find a 3rd party program that allows such integration please don't hesitate to mention it here as I have been looking for this sort of option for quite some time now!

  • How do I find the start day of each month

    Hi all,
    Hope someone can give a a hand here I've to do a calender project for college and I'm not allowed to use any built in Java classes so fun all the way so far :-)
    I've got one question that is bugging me at the moment. and that is how to find the start day for each month in a year and store them in an array.
    I'm starting my week at Monday (0) and stopping at Sunday (6) and I do have a formula for discovering the first day in Jan of the given year its
    ((y-1900)*365 + (y-1901)/4)%7
    I was just wondering how I could amend this to find the first day in Feb, March etc.
    Any suggestions greatly accepted.
    Thanks in advance.

    newark maybe I didnt make clear exactly what I want to do.
    I have each day of the week starting at 0 for Monday up to 6 for Sunday I want to map what the start day of a month as a number between 0 and 6.
    The formula I have discovering the first day of Jan of a given year will give you 1 i.e. Tuesday
    what I need to do is find out what number between 0 and 6 the start day of each other month of a given year is.
    For example the 1st of Feb is a Friday which is 4 on the weekday map.
    Your suggestion of 31%7 won't work for this, sorry more than likely my fault for not being clearer in what my requirements were.
    Cheers for the help so far and yep your right not being able to use the built in classes is a pain :-)
    Edited by: Irish-Student on 03-Mar-2008 20:01This doesn't really change much of my first suggestion. If you can already calculate the first day of the month of January for any given year, then there's no problem figuring out the other months. Say I want to know the first day April 1, 1978. You already know how to find January 1, 1978. So find that. Then find the number of days between January 1 and April 1 (remember to account for leap years). Once you have the number of days, you can figure out how many weeks and days that is, and thus what day of the week it is.

  • I need an event to repeat on the 1st Thursday of every month; the only option I have is every 6th or every 8th day.

    I would like to have a repeating event on the first and third Thursday of every month. I cannot make a repeating monthly event on the same day of the week.
    Also, I keep getting an overlay on my Yahoo screen that says I must have logged out or closed another page and I need to log in when I haven't done that. Is that a Yahoo problem?

    For your repeating even, I'm assuming this is your Yahoo calendar? that isn't a Firefox issue, I suggest you try to contact yahoo.
    For the other issue, try the following:
    Update to Firefox 15. Then, [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

  • Is there a way to schedule an event to occur in the future?

    I am looking for a generic way to schedule events which are triggered in the future (in LabVIEW without using DAQ).
    I already have a way of scheduling future events but it uses a polling thread to keep an eye on the list of times and execute the events and maintain the list. To get higher time resolution it would have to run faster although most of the time there are no events in the queue.
    (An 'event' in my queue is currently a cluster of a future time and a boolean control reference).
    What I would like to do is queue events (could be user defined events) so that they can be posted at future times without a process having to poll for them.
    If I make my polling event wait (e.g. using the ms Timer) then it can't wake up do deal with an event which was queued later but required to be posted sooner.
    Any clues?
    Solved!

    What time resolution do you want/need? Please be specific. (milliseconds, seconds, etc.)

    I think part of the confusion is your generic use of the word "event", while events have a very defined special meaning in LabVIEW. "Polling event" is a contradiction.
    So, first of all, do you even use event structures? Can you show us some code? There is probably an easy solution.
    For example you could look at the array of scheduled tasks and recalculate a new timeout value for an event structure whenever a new task is added or whenever a task has just executed. No polling needed. In the timeout event, determine which task is ready to execute and launch it. (e.g. via a queue or similar).

  • Custom Events are repeating with the standard events

    Hello All,
    I am facing a problem with the customization of standard OA Page.
    We have modified the page by adding a new custom region with three buttons in it. We have also developed a controller for that region to handle the events. when a button is clicked, a new page opens up in a new window.
    I have observed that the custom controller is called when any event occurs in the page irrespective of the region.
    Now the actual problem is whenever any of the custom buttons are clicked, according to the requirement the new window opens up. But if we perform any other standard events in the page like clicking a standard LOV immediately after performing the custom event, then that most recent custom event is repeating with that standard event.
    how to prevent this repetetion of custom event with standard event?
    please help me solve this problem..
    Thanks in advance.

    For your page, are you setting the controller class for your various regions in the property inspector?

  • Can I set an event to repeat on the Sunday before 9/11... or any weekday before/after a date?

    Title  really says it all. Is there a way to create such a repeating event?

    I have come across an answer, a way to create the event using iCalendar code and then importing the event. I would much rather a way to do this inside the Calendar app, but this is better than nothing. Create a plain text file with this code:
    BEGIN:VCALENDAR
    Version:2.0
    BEGIN:VEVENT
    DTSTART:20150906
    DTEND:20150906
    RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1;BYMONTH=9;BYDAY=SU;BYMONTHDAY=5,6,7,8,9,10,11
    SUMMARY:World Trade Remembrance Service
    END:VEVENT
    END:VCALENDAR
    Save as plain text. Rename to have a ".ics" extension and you should be able to double-click to load the event into your calendar. The code is pretty self-explanatory but I'll run through it quickly. Set the start and end to the first occurrence of the event. You can set this to any date, really, but the first entry will be on that date, so it won't necessarily match the rule you've created, so you'd want to delete the first one. The event happens every year, in the 9th month, and always on a certain weekday (SU), and it can only be the Sunday that falls on 5-11th (i.e. no more than a week before 9/11). The name of the event goes in the Summary field. Very powerful stuff! It'd be great to have a graphical interface to go along, but this works for now. BTW, I found this answer (and a thousand other amazing bits of iCal code) here: http://www.kanzaki.com/docs/ical/rrule.html.

  • Calendar app crashing when adding any event with repeat

    On my thrive when I'm using the calendar app (the default android one) I can add one-time events just fine. However, when i try to add an event and select any repeat options (like weekly, monthly, etc), when I click "done" the app disappears (crashes). Strange though there is no force close message or anything. When I open the calendar again, I can confirm the repeat event was never added. I even tried a downloaded calendar app and while it did not crash it would still not enter any events with repeats. The "add event" dialogue just disappears and the event never appears on the calendar. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    I am having the same problem. I my case I can never do a repeating event in the native calendar app, whether it's a new event or a modified one. Talked to support at Toshiba (multiple times) and they blamed it on the Android software. Suggested I download another calendar app from the market called "Ancal" which was a joke because it does not even support repeating events. I tried a few as others have. Since I'm using "myphoneexplorer" to sync my data with Outlook on my laptop vs. using google site for sync, I had to find one that works. I found that "Touch Calendar" (they have a free version you can test before buying) works great. All my existing events populated after install on the tablet. All you have to do is delete any repeating events you have in Outlook and do a sync, then any repeating events created via Outlook and/or your tablet sync perfectly.

  • Wait Event to be triggered with configurable no. of days

    Hello,
    I have a requirement in which a workflow gets triggered. After that it waits for an event to get triggered which it listens to.
    Also there is certain no. of days which is configurable.
    I want that when the event is received with the configurable no. of days then it should processing 1. If the event is not received with configurable no. of days then processing 2 should be done.
    Could you let me know how do we achieve this functionality.
    Thanks,
    Imran

    There are at least two ways.
    1) Set a latest end deadline in process 1 and make the work item obsolete - use a container element to store information about whether the event appeared or not.
    2) Set a requested start deadline in process 2 and process the two in a 1-out-of-2 parallel branch.
    I would recommend option 2.
