A Calendar event that is to repeat N times sometimes need to be specified as repeating N 1 times

Under Mountain Lion, iCal's successor, Calendar, doesn't always handle repeating events correctly.
If I want an event to repeat every week for N weeks, sometimes I need merely fill in Stop After N Times.
But sometimes I have to fill in Stop After N+! times.
There's some code somewhere that is having trouble crossing month boundaries as it counts the recurrences of the event.
Any work-arounds (other than noticing the problem and changing the count)?

No one here would be privi to Apple's plans on the matter. Submit your feedback to Apple requesting such a feature:

In the interim, there is a reminder program for pretty much every need and taste in the App Store.

  • How do I set up calendar events that will be for another time zone? My events shift once I travel

    How do I set up calendar events that will be for another time zone? My events shift once I travel. The same is true when I am traveling and in another time zone, how do I best set up my events so they are in the correct time slot upon my return?

    Basically, if your client does not have a Mac then don't use iWeb to create the site. iWeb is Mac only and if a client wishes to make alterations, then they need the domain file.
    If your client needs to update on a weekly basis, then why not consider using one of the online website creation packages where you can log in from any Mac or PC. This would be simpler and there are lots out there - Microsoft Office Live or Google or something like http://www.wix.com where you can create a site and use a domain name with it.
    Look at the alternatives before using iWeb.

  • My MacPro crashed last week. Can I restore my old necessary calendar events that I lost but saved my data on an external HD?

    My MacPro crashed last week The Mac repairman transferred all my data to an external HD before deleting and reconfiguring the  MacPro.
    Can I restore my old necessary calendar events that I lost but saved to an external HD? Where would I find my old  calendar info on the external HD? I've tried search, but nothing revealed. I really need this calendar info for my business. Many thanks for any suggestions / advice.

    You can try a file recovery application like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • HT4576 What is the easiest way to enter a calendar event on an iPhone in a time zone which is different to one in which one is at present?

    What is the easiest way to enter a calendar event on an iPhone in a time zone which is different to one in which one is at present?  Can this synchronise with Outlook, which allows for time zones to be set manually for each event?
    This was easy on my old iPhone 4S, on which (exactly as in outlook) you manually defined a time zone for each event - but this function no longer seems to work on my new iPhone 5S.

  • How can I forward a calendar event that I did not create?

    I can't see a way to forward a calendar event, when I am not the event creator. How is this done on an iPhone or iPad?

    There is an app that allows this - called Forward My Meeting.  It allows you to forward any meeting in your calendar from the iPhone or iPad.

  • How to edit a calendar event that was sent to me

    I was sent a google calendar event, and I can't edit on my iphone 4s.  Is there a way to edit events sent to me?

    One more reason to get people to use something other than a Mac where everything is exptected to be done for you.
    And asking for "fast help"? what is with that.Never learning to use search engines or darn... Windows will ask what you want to open a file with and search also.
    I think email attachments even pdf be sure who and expected it,, and they should be saved to a file.

  • Add a note to a Calendar event that was created from Mac Mail

    When I create a Calendar event by clicking on a date within a Mac Mail message (you hover over a date in an email it draws a dashed box around the date and gives an option to create a Calendar event).  It creates an Event in my Calendar with the following fields:  Subject, Location, Date Time and alert fields, Invitees and a link to the mail message.  But - I can't seem to add a Note Field.  The only work-around seems to be to manually create a new calendar entry.
    Does anyone know how to modify an event created from Mac Mail to add a Note Field?
    iMac Retina 5K 27-inch Late 2014, OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3, Calendar Version 8.0 (2034.9), Mail  Version 8.2 (2098).

    Thanks Brett for replying, but this doesn't work if the event is created by Mac Mail - which is my issue.  Sure it works with any other event but not one that has been created from within Mail.  If this is a bug I'm sure the Calendar people point the blame at the Mail people and vice versa but that doesn't help me.  But before I submit a report to Apple I thought I would see if I might be missing something obvious.
    See the attached screenshot of an event that was created by Mac Mail. There is no Add Notes field when the event is Double Clicked, Right Clicked or any other form of click.

  • With newest ios 7 version, can no longer change "just this one" recurring calendar event, like if a monthly meeting time changes, but only this month. How to fix?

    With newest IOS7, installed this morning, can no longer change just one time, a recurring event-like a monthly meeting.  It used to ask if i want to change for this event only, or for all the events.  How else can you change the time "just this once" and leave the other times alone?

    no-turns out the only problem is taking the event from an "all day" event that repeats, to one with a time, if time is only for the one event this year.  Do all repeating events either need to be for the entire day, or for a time-but cannot change an all day event, to one with a time only for this event.
    I have the "all day" for the annual event so I don't forget to take care of this, but this year I want to give it a time so it is more prominant on the calendar.  Only wanted it at a specific time this year, and want it to stay "all day event" in the future. 
    I think the only way to fix is to make a new event just this year and give it a time, then keep the recurring event as as "all day".
    Not a big deal-thought it was a bigger problem than it turns out to be.

  • How to enter events that will occur in another time zone?

    I want to enter an event in another time zone so when in that time zone the correct time is displayed on my iCal.

    Hey twc2629,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to change the time zone of an event. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • Calendar events notification poping up at incorrect times!

    I have a weekly repeating event set for 11:10AM CST.  And it's alert set for 1 hour before.

  • Bug: Repeating Google Calendar Events Show Up On The Wrong Days

    I've created a Google Calendar event that repeats "Daily," every two days, from 6:00pm to 6:30pm. It shows up fine in my Google Calendar, but the Pre's Calendar puts them on the wrong days. For example, the repeating event that should be scheduled for today shows up tomorrow (offset by +1 day). 
    I tried turning off network timezones, but the bug remains.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this is a bug, how can I submit it to Palm?
    Thanks! 
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
    Some new data:
    If I create the repeating event on my Pre, rather than via Google, it shows up on the Pre correctly. However, it only shows up for one day via Google (today); the event is not repeated. When I edit the event in Google, it's setup correctly. I tried saving the event from there, but it doesn't cause Google to recognize it should repeat.
    Very frustrating.
    Even more new data:
    Created yet another event via my Pre instead of via Google. This time Google picked up the correct repeat pattern, and my Pre now shows it on the correct days.
    Calendar sync needs serious work, based on my experience. I have issues with Facebook events showing up an hour later than they should, too. Dunno if this has been fixed yet.
    New Data (01/28/2010)
    Not sure why, but the above success reverted back to being off by one day; temporary success only.

    Hi, another quick question: you say you turned off network timezones.... did you make sure that the (now manually set) timezone is correct?
    Sounds similar to other issues related to the timezone being off, but usually the appointments were off by hours... not day(s).  However if your timezone is set to something really odd and the event you're creating is around midnight (again depends on a few things here), then MAYBE this is it.
    If it isn't, one of the support guys will have to chat with you privately about possibly collecting logs, getting more granular details, etc.

  • I accidentally deleted a calendar on my iPhone 4.  How do I retrieve it and all of the events that were in it?

    I was recently adding my Google calendar to my calendars on my iPhone 4.  After I synched it, something happened where all of my Yahoo contacts disappeared.  We were able to retrieve the contacts after going into Settings and setting up a new account under Carddav.Address.Yahoo.  My contacts all reappeared!  I then noticed that all of my calendar events that were in there before Google was synched were gone.  I don't know how to find those events and/or that calendar and retrieve it.  I have iTunes and iCloud, but I don't see the events on there anywhere.  Any suggestions?
