Calendar app skipping events

Once I set up an Event in Calendar, the default is that a notification appears on my desktop and on the screens of my iPhone and iPad. In any event, that's how it works on my devices.
Because many of my Events are to remind me of tasks/chores which need to be done, I chose also to be notified by email so I could close the alert on my desktop, but still be reminded of the task each time I look at my inbox and see the reminder there, and only delete it from the inbox when the task was accomplished. This way, I don't have to hit Snooze over and over until the task is done.
My particular frustration is this: several of my Events, household tasks, are set up to appear every four days. Since I have set up email notification, I can search for old notifications in Mail. When I do so, I find that for a month or two, the email is there and the alert appears on my desktop every four days. Then, for reasons I cannot determine, the notification will skip a date when it is supposed to notify me.
E.g., https://db.tt/QUffjNyI
You'll see several anomalies here:
1. Although email reminders are set to be sent to my iCloud email address, on two occasions they went to another of my other email addresses.
2. The events are set to occur every four days, but you will see several days on which notifications were to be sent, none were. E.g., July 20 and 28; September 22.
3. Really bizarre: twice, instead of showing that the notification went to my email account, it went to "All Mail". What's THAT all about?
Is there ANY way to fix this? I really don't want to have to pay $20 for a replacement for Calendar if I can avoid doing so.
Many thanks.

is this the standard calendar app? if so than yes
here you find some information about the back up, which data will be safed there

Calendar App: color coded events...

Hello,
Like most folks I have a number of calendars - home, personal projects, work, etc. Each is handily color coded in Calendar, which is great. So far, so good.
However, in my *single* work calendar (which is served from a company account on Google so pulling in from my company Google Calendar account) I have multiple types of things going on: internal work and then differet clients work. To make sense of my work world I really need to color code my different clients and my company internal work.
So the outcome I am looking for is to be able to color code locally on my MBP different events sourced from the same Google calendar.
I can't see how to do this in Calendar (I'm on OSX 10.8.2 and Calendar 6.0 (1645)) and so far I haven't found a third party app that will do it either.
Please can any one in the community advise:
1. If this is possible how I achieve it (e.g. could I create several calendars locally all of which somehow aggregate up into my single Google work calendar so that my colleagues and clients can see a full and true pictue of availability at the Google level while I have segregated/color coded view of items locally on my MBP)?
2. If this isn't possible in native Calendar app on OSX are there any apps out there that will allow this?
Am I really the only person with this need? I can't believe so and I'm sure someone must have solved this issue already...
Many thanks for your time and consideration of my issue.
Regards,
Richard

It sounds like something that you should be able to do with AppleScript, but alas I'm not proficient enough to tell you how to do it. There used to be an Applescript guru that was a regular on here (Yvan), but I'm not sure if he's still active in the community.
You could try searching google for applescripts related to calendar or iCal (its still called iCal in AppleScript's dictionaries list even on Mountain Lion) or try asking for help on MacScripter.

Calendar App on iPad can't add events or toggle calendars

Something strange is going on with my Calendar app (New iPad...iOS5). It was working fine, with my local calendar and 2 subscribed calendars. But, after going in to Settings and turning on Calendar sync for my Google account, now when I open Calendar there's no button in the top left to select which calendars to view, delete calendars, change calendar colors, etc...And, there's no [+] icon in the lower right to add new events. The calendars are showing up, but it's like the entire app is now read only or something.
Any ideas how I can get the missing buttons back? I've tried re-starting the iPad, but that didn't do anything. I turned off the Google sync, thinking that may have been the problem, but that also had no affect.

Found the issue. (Love it when that happens...)
Turns out my Google password was somehow forgotten/blank. I didn't discover that until opening Mail and it prompted me for my Google password. Once I entered the Google password, the buttons and functionality returned to the Calendar app.
Seems like an odd little bug. Frustrating for sure, but luckily it's easily solved.

In repeating events , in the calendar app of Iphone or Ipad,

In repeating events , in the calendar app of Iphone or Ipad, How can I stipulate for egsample: "every second tuesday of the month " or even every last monday of every second month..
These selections work in the Google Calendar. but I cannot find the way to do it in the standard ipad or iphone calendar
all I can find to select are "Monthly , weekly , . I want to be able to select "day of the week " or "day of the month" Thanks ,
Victor

The iPhone/iPad version of iCal doesn't have this option, but the Mac desktop version does (assuming you use a Mac). Follow the directions below and then sync your device with your Mac and the repeating event will appear in your mobile device.
Open iCal on the desktop. Make a new event. Double click on the event and then click "edit." Change the repeat option to "Custom..." Select frequency as "monthly." Click the bottom radio button that says "on the" to enable you to set which day to repeat on. Close the event info window and then sync your device.
I hope they enable this option in the mobile software soon. It is a glaring omission for a calendar program.
P.S., sorry, I just noticed you didn't include a Mac in your hardware list. I don't know how you'd accomplish this with Windows. Maybe this post will help someone else, though.

Calendar apps: 1. That my wife and I can share. 2. That shows some of the text in the full month view. 3. That can have "public" events and "private" events.

Hello All,
I am looking for a calendar app that my wife and I can share on both of our iphones. I am new to this and haven't found an app that will do what I want.
1. I want the full month view to show some of the text of each event: Like Pocket Informant and Monthly Calendar Mocha do (not just a dot).
2. That both of us can post and see each other's events.
3. That each of us can post "private" events that the other person won't see on their phone. Things like, "Wife's surprise party."
4. That sync's both calendars automatically.
I know a lot of people use Fantastical, but I don't think that would give me the text in the full month view.
Is there an app that can do all of the above?
Thanks in advance.
Rick

Sharing and syncing is a feature of the calendar database; you can have multiple calendars, and each can be private, shared with specific other iCloud users, or public. If you have a Mac you can set that up in the Calendar app; for either Mac or Windows you can set it up by logging in to iCloud.com using your Apple ID.
The other calendar apps all use the Apple calendar database; they just have different ways of presenting the content, and can also take advantage of "hidden" features of the Apple calendar database (such as adding icons to entries).

Calendar app in iOS can't set complex recurring events or arbitrary alert time.

Dear Administrator,
I find the Calendar app in iOS very limiting. It should not be difficult for Apple to include features that allows arbitrary alert time (45min before the event) or complex recurring events (repeat every 4 months on the first Thursday of the month). Do I miss something or Apple did not include these features in the system software. It is really inconvenient. Please help.
Sincerely yours,
Zigang Pan

The built-in calendar app does not support complex recurrances. If you want to do that, you'll need to use a different calendar app, such as Fantistical 2 or Week Calendar.

Facebook events not showing up in calendar app

Hi
I can see the events I've joined on facebook showing up on the calender app on my iphone (ios6) but can't see them on the ML (10.8.2) calendar app. my facebook account is linked with both machine. what do I miss?
thanks in advance:)

Hello, I have had the same issue, the Facebook intergration with ioOS displays all the facebook events in the calendar - which can be a real pain if you have lots of events.
I have not found any option in iOS6 to filter by accepted events or to hide declined events. This is something Apple should really work on - sounds to me like they just bundled this into iOS6 without consideration for accepted or declined events.
So the workaround which I have found is to stop the facebook calendar in iOS6 (Settings/Facebook) and instead to subscribe to Facebook events and/or birthdays via the site straight into iCal. What is in your iCal will appear on all your devices so there you go. Make sure in FB to state that you don't want al events to be displayed. Then you'll be fine.
Use this link if you want http://www.wikihow.com/Sync-Facebook-Events-to-iCal
Make sure to go to the settings option on FB page to select which events you want displayed.
It lacks the neat little FB icon that would appear via the iOS intergration but lets hope Apple sorts this out quickly and that we'll be able to chose which events to display, accepted or rejected etc....
Hope this helps,

Calendar app not displaying any events but when entering they do update other devices

New iPhone 6 calendar app appears to accept new events but none show up on calendar. They are updating on iPad and iMac. Any ideas please/

Can i get assistance on this issue?

I have a new IPAD. There are no "list", "date," and "add a reminder" buttons on the Reminder app. There are also no "calendar" and "add an event" bottons on the Calendar App. Why?

I just bought a new IPAD. There are no "list", "date," and "add a reminder" buttons on the Reminder App. There are also no "calendar" and "add an event" buttons on the Calendar App. Why? Is there a way to add either a reminder or an event?

For the reminders app - just tap on an open space on the ruled paper window under the heading in order to create a new reminder. Or tap on the + sign in the upper right corner of the app. You do not have the + sign on the app?
For the calendars app to go Settings>iCloud>Calendars>On. Toggle the setting on and off and the + sign should appear in the lower right corner of the calendars app. Tap the + sign to create a new event.

Calendar app crashes when selecting save for this event only

When putting my work schedule into the calendar app, I usually put it in as a repeating event until a certain date. If I edit one of those days and hit "Save for this event only" the app will crash. It does save, but the crash is quite annoying.

I'm having a similar issue, but mine is crashing when I try to delete one occurrence of a repeating event, and when I re-open the calendar the event I'm trying to delete is still there. This only began after the 8.3 update. Eventually I just gave up and deleted it on my Macbook at home, but there's obviously a bug in the update.

Events in Calendar app are gone?

I syced my iPod for the first time in quite a while, after the sync I went to check an even in the Calendar app and all events are gone. How do I fix this problem?

Sorry, everyone. I figured it out. If this happens to anyone else, all you have to do is touch where it says calendars in the top left corner and then touch chalendar to check it, since it's probably unchecked

Calendar App not letting me add events (No icon)

Hey, I recently updated to iOS5 and my calendar app was working just fine before doing so!
Now when I go to add an event to my calendar, there is no "+" logo in the top right, like there used to be. It will only let me delete
or change events.
Help?

Hi Tmckee0933,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

How to see the underlying calendar for an event in Calendar app?

The Calendar app on iPhone does not show the underlying calendar for a given event unless the event is edited, or at least I didn't find a way. My difficulty is that colour alone is not sufficient to tell events apart in all circumstances (9 active ones)

The colors work fine for me but, everyone is different.
Submit your feedback directly to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
And seriously, there are tons of calendar apps out there. I'm sure there must be one that will work better for you.
Best of luck.

I can't update individual events in the Calendar app.

I'm trying to update an event in the list of events on the left side of the Calendar app display in my Ipad2 ios 5 device. When I tap on the event nothing happens. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi there RonBeaucahmp,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
