Add ical events everyday except one day?

Hi appl support community. This is my first questions on here so forgive me for any faults. I wanted to know if there is away, either first party or third party, to add an event to ical for everday except one or two days. Like making an event every morning except Sunday. Thanks for any help.

If you do a custom repeat you should be able to do what you want:
This event will repeat on each day except Sunday. The you could set it to repeat forever or only for a set number of weeks or to stop on a specific date.

Some events off by one day in iCal since new upgrade

Since the upgrade, some of my calender events show up one day earlier. There is no true pattern and sometimes they are correct which makes it REALLY hard to know what is correct.
I use Exchange to sync all my calenders from Google. I don't know if this is a google problem or an IOS one. Some of the subscribed calenders are right, but some are not.
It's really frusterating.
Other discussions involve the birthday calender problem or multi-day event problems but this is just weird and different.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Couldn't find this so started a new discussion, with the "fix" that Tech Support helped me figure out.
(Then I discovered I could find my discussions using "My Stuff" at the top of the page. LOL)
Here's a link to my new post with steps for fixing the all day events on the wrong day problem.

German dates and "add iCal event" not working

I have a german formatted date in a mail (like 01.08.2008 = October, 1. 2008) and Mail does recognize this as a date. But when I select "add iCal event", the popup shows the date 08.01.08 (= January, 8. 2008). This only happens with days <= 12. When there is a date like 25.01.2008 everything works fine.
Does anyone know how I can get this to work correctly? The global language settings are all set to the correct german format (= default settings for Germany after a clean install of Leopard).

ERRRR the eighth month is August ???
I reported this a bug to Apple in October 2007.
but anyway 01.08.2008 = 01 Aug 2008 in every calender system EXCEPT US I believe.
If I create an email and just type 01.08.2008 in it, iCal does the US format - ie 1st Jan 2008 BUT try typing 01/08/2008 and my UK spec setup converts that to 01 Aug 2008, this bug has been partially fixed by 10.5.2
Hope this helps while Apple fixes the rest of the bug.

Why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days?

why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days? I really do not understand why if iCal can sync all events, even the very old, the spotlight will not be able to search on events older than 365 days; why? is absurd; let's say I want to search for a person contained in an old appointment: iCal in your Mac with a few key words, I find it right away, but this important feature on the iPhone is locked; we have in our pockets phones are very sophisticated, but it does not manage to make things really trivial.

Repeating events slipped forward one day-version 3.02 Leopard

I use repeating events to list birthdays. Suddenly I found that all my birthday events had slipped forward one day earlier. What causes this? How can I correct it? The events are wrong but iCal registers the correct day of the month and time zone.

If you are using all day events, it might be something to do with the switch to daylight savings time.
You could potentially fix the problem by using a floating time zone rather than a real one for each event.
I assume you know about the option to record birthdays in Address Book and then to show these in a dedicated iCal calendar?

All day events are shifted one day forward (Nokia 6234)

I know that the Nokia 6234 is not officially supported for iSync, however I have found a plugin that works very well.
I am, however, perplexed by the fact that all day events are shifted to the following calendar day on my phone. If I try to move a read only event to the correct day on my phone, I get an error from iSync/iCal saying you are not allowed to edit a read only event.
I have checked the time zones for the phone and my system and the are both the same (GMT+12). I've turned time zone support on and off in iCal, with no effect.
I've tried some different values for the property "AllDayEventFormat" in the Metaclasses.plist, but they didn't seem to make any difference. Maybe because I didn't un-pair and re-pair the phone in between making changes?
Any ideas?

Hi Julian,
Thank you for your advice The plugin was a free download, not a purchased item. So the provider is in no way beholden to provide assistance, as it was provided on a best efforts basis. However I have approached them for help also.
Next step: make my own plug-in!?

IPhone 4S Calendar events off by one day

Just upgraded to a new iPhone 4S (on launch day) and synced with iTunes and as a "new" phone (did not restore from previous phone backup). Calendars synced from my MacBookPro without any problems... or so I thought. Just discovered that ALL my reminders and events are showing the day before they occur. Example: my mother-in-law's birthday is tomorrow but my phone tells me it is today. They are correct on my MacBookPro calendar.
Anyone know why this occurred and how I can fix it? It's very strange!

All iCal events disappeared beyond 90 days ago

I just noticed that all of my events—except for repeating ones—have disappeared from my iCal calendar, from August 28th backwards. In other words, I have everything still for the past 3 months, just the stuff before that is gone.
Since I've got MobileMe and an iPhone, I checked those, too, and same deal: everything except repeating events (birthdays, weekly and monthly custom stuff) is gone.
I've no idea what happened. I don't have any iCal setting set to delete past events.
Since I have Time Capsule set up, I'm wondering if there's a way to go back and grab the iCal calendar before all events and appointments got deleted. I'm positive it's in TC, just don't know how to get it, and yet not erase the stuff that's been added since.
Any ideas?

Mike, Thanks for posting. I'd done a search for this issue and nothing came up, so I appreciate you linking back to that thread.
For anyone following this, that other long thread doesn't have any solutions other than Mike's post. So I'll copy his solution here:
"I have got my old calendar data back into MobileMe without downgrading by:
1.Restore ~/Library/Calendars from Time Machine (use "replace" option). This adds all the events Including (all the earlier ones) into "on my mac" calendars. So if you have both the "MobileMe" and the "On my Mac" calendars ticked then the recent events are duplicated. You could stop here and leave the "on my mac" ones unticked unless you wanted to see the history. I went on to......
2.Export each calendar from "on my mac", and import each to the corresponding MobileMe calendar.
3.Manually remove the duplicates for recent events."
I'll add my own two cents: I wasn't sure how far back to go in Time Machine, because I completely forgot which day (or month) I'd upgraded the MobileMe Calendar. In fact, I tried about 4 dates, and then checking to see if the old calendar (on my mac) was back. Each time, it wasn't, so I kept going further back in Time Machine (finally until August 1, 2010). Weirdly, it still wasn't back.
But then I noticed an interesting file inside of (home)/Library/Calendars, called Cache. There were actually a couple of them. I wondered if it acted similar to Safari's cache, in that it kept things just like they were an hour ago. So, I deleted all of the cache files, and boom, all of the events were back.
Strangely, all of the events and to-dos I'd added since August were also still in the calendar. I've no idea how it did that, since I thought I completely replaced the contents of the Library/Calendar folder.
Some other tips:
1. before doing anything, backup your Calendar (File: Export: iCal Archive) just in case you need to redo the whole thing.
2. Back up the current Library/Calendar folder. Probably the same thing as doing the above Archive, but I'm not that smart so I did this as well.
3. Sign out of Mobile Me (System Prefs: MobileMe: Account: Sign Out), so that MM doesn't try to overwrite your good work.
4. Quit iCal before working with Time Machine.
5. Before working with Time Machine, I took screen shots of each month (in Month View) for the last few months. This was in case the backup would delete all of the stuff I'd added since the date I was backing up from. As noted above for reasons I can't figure out, the old Calendar kept all my new stuff from the last few months, so I didn't end up needing the screen shots. Still, I'd suggest doing it!
As Mike noted, there were some duplicates. I couldn't see any pattern to the dupes, but they were mainly birthdays, repeating tasks, and a few multi-day events. Not a big deal.

ICal events disappear only in Day and Week views

Using iCal 3.0.2, I have suddenly acquired a new behavior. Several "subscribed" calendars appear fine in Month view, but their events do not appear in Day or Week view.
I have deleted Caches > com.Apple.iCal and I have deleted Libraries > Calendars > Calendar Cache. Neither has had any effect. I also tried deleting Preferences > com.Apple.iCal.
Any ideas on how to be able to see these events in the Day or Week views?
Thanks very much,
Gus

Still no date headings when my calendar is views in the Day and Week views. All of my appointments are there. The days of the month appear in Month view. But when I change to week or day, I don't know what day I'm looking at because there are no dates. Only "2010" appears in the upper left.
Any ideas? I couldn't be the only one this has happened to!
Thanks, Wendy

How to keep iCal events older than 90 days?

We use one of our iCal calendars for business, and we need to refer back to client appointments that occurred several months in the past. However, despite unchecking all the "Delete events" options in Prefs, any appointment older than 90+ days is gone. This is extremely annoying for all concerned. Is there a fix, or do we have to use something like Google calendar and link to it? I'm looking for a simple solution for everyone in the office.

I am having the same issue in a slightly different way.
Have a main calendar server I connect to at work and iCal syncs via CalDAV.
Nothing over about 90 days is getting pulled down even after deleting the calendar.
I am not the only one at work with a Mac that faces this issue.

How can uncompleted events carryover from one day to the next?

Let's say I had to call Mr. Smith on Monday, but never got to call him. How can I have this uncompleted reminder carry over to Tuesday automatically?? And every day from there on until I do call him and delete the event. Is this possible??
Any help will be most welcomed.

It will automatically remain in your task list & show a exclamation point since it isn't done. However, if you have the hide to dos with due dates outside the calendar view enabled in preferences, you won't see the older tasks if they aren't in the calendar view.
I've posted an enhancement request to Apple & suggest you do the same so that older tasks still show outside the calendar view with that option enabled.

ICal events show as all day on iPhone but are not all day how do you fix?

Same here, I subscribe to NY Mets schedule and get the same with some entries .. Hope some posts a solution here soon.

Outlook 2007 sync with iPhone & iPad: All events on device one day behind !

Dear all,
I stumbled over this recently when I started with my brand new iPad. Date/Time/Region/Timezone settings on desktop computer (win7) and iPhone and iPad are identical. Sync with Google calendar and 3rd party products on iPhone / iPad / Outlook works perfect.
Can maybe anyone shed some light on this ? iPhone calendar used to sync fine, not sure when the problem started (maybe with OS 3.1.2 ?)
TIA
Cyana

It would be nice if the iPhone let you create smart albums on the fly, but it's pretty much a dumb client for iPhoto. So, you'll have to do more work in iPhoto setting up what you want to see on the iPhone.
My method--I have smart albums (eg, Rated pix from Hawaii, Rated pix from Christmas 2009) and sync those. I also sync all Rated Pix as a big album, but that's not that usable. So mine's not a very efficient method---I wind up creating lots of albums and sorting out which ones I want synced.
A workable approach for you might be to create multiple smart albums, perhaps based on date--eg, "checked photos from Jan-June 2010". Create one of those every six months and you've got some basic, easy to maintain organization.
I would actually like to see both iPhoto and iTunes have a feature--"sync my rules to the iPhone and reapply them to the big bucket of music/photos files that I've moved to the iPhone". But I doubt Apple would ever do it. But you can Send Feedback from the Help menu in iPhoto, if you like.

Why are my calendar events showing up one day early on my ipad

Many of the all-day calendar entries in Outlook 2007 show up a day earlier on my iPad, but are fine on my iPhone. What gives? Any way to solve this?

You can use same ID on both devices. It's common.
If you don't want to see contacts on both, just disable it under settings - mail,contacts, calendars - select your account, disable contacts

ICal moves events ahead one day

iCal will move random events to the next day.
Example, mothers day to the 12th, Monday.
Is there a fix? We use iCal for appointments and have to back it up with a paper calender just to make sure we don't miss anything.
Needless to say this is very annoying.

When syncing my iPod with iTunes, my appointments
from iCal are all shifted one day ahead on the iPod
(60GB Color).
For example, the correct appointment in iCal is:
Tuesday, at 7pm
On iPod, the appointment shows up as:
Monday, at 7pm
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Pleeeeeease. Thanks in advance.
I have exactly the same problem. Only on recurring entries. I have checked everything to make sure the time, date and timezones are correct.
