Calendar Event Question

I'm new to iPhone, coming from Blackberry. I would like to be able to schedule an event to repeat every five weeks and another event every four weeks. Is there a way to customize this? If not, can you recommend an app which will give me a reminder every four and/or every five weeks? Thank you!

Sorry, answering my own question. It seems you have to do it on iCloud. Kind of frustrating if you're not on your computer but at least it's possible. Thanks for reading.

Emailing calendar event question

Is it possible to email a calendar event from my iMac to someone with an iPhone, so they can easily add the event to their calendar? If I email an event, the outgoing message says:
"To add it to your calendar, click the link below"
But when they click the iCal...ics link in the email, nothing happens. I know if I view the same email on my Mac in the Mail app and click on the link, I'm prompted to add the event to my calendar.
-Thanks

Can Not Remove "with" Data from Calendar Event Details

I currently have a Palm Tungsten|E2. For a short time I used to sync it with my work computer; this was before they replaced the computer (lease was up) with a new one where it was locked down and I could not reinstall the Palm desktop. Since then I have been syncing it with my home computer that runs MS Vista. Just recently I have noticed that when I create new Calendar events on my Palm, they all get a new "With:" data line (and a user from my old job) after sync'ing with my home computer. Selecting this "With:" entry brings me to a screen that allows me to select from a list of people I may "Done", "Reply", or "Reply All" to; although selecting either reply only causes a fatal error that requires a soft reset (button on back of machine). Looking at the event through the desktop software shows no data point so that it may be cleaned.
I would like to know why my desktop software is adding this person to a "With:" data point to all new entires I create on the Palm hardware, how do I turn it off and keep it from doing it in the future.

Are you sync'ing the new device to the same username in Palm Desktop as an older device?
If you are, this will cause problems on the new device. When you sync the device, it saves the device settings, 3rd party apps, preferences, etc. in the backup folder in the username folder on the PC. When you sync the new device it copies the contents of the backup folder for the old device to the new device. This will cause corruption in the settings for the new device thus causing erratic behavior of the new device.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
Looks like you may need to hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
XP
C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Vista
Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
tasks, and memos will come back over.

If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a

files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.

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.

How can I automatically create calendar events using text from a Pages document?

Hello,
I'm looking for a way that I can automatically have calendar events created, by extracting dates and times from a table within a Pages document I have saved on my Mac.
Currently, I record my working hours/dates on a Pages document in table format, so that I can record and ensure I receive payment for all hours I work.
After finding out which shifts I have for the week, I insert the day, date, start time and end time (for each shift), into a table within a Pages document.
I'm wondering if there is any way - such as through Automator, Apple Scripts, etc. - that I can then have the Calendar app automatically create events from that data - including the date, start and end times for each shift?
Also, if possible, is there a way to set each event to automatically alert me at a chosen time (1 day, 2 days, etc.) beforehand?
Here is an example of the layout of my document table:
Date
Start
Finish

If anyone can help with this question, that would be greatly appreaciated, as then I could have my calendar automatically create and sync my work shifts across to my iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Thanks in advance,
John.

I totally agree with you.
Where are the fixes for a long string of bugs, glitches and user issues?
Looking at the list of new "features" for the next OSX, Maverick (what a dumb name!), all I am seeing is Apple ripping off other peoples' ideas, something it swinges others mercilessly for.
There is not one thing in Maverick that I don't already have, only more so, with 3rd party add-ons.
Apple seems bereft of ideas now and I am totally mystified what it is doing with all that money and employees it has accumulated.

Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)?
--- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal. Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once? If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
To avoid this issue in the future:
Keep regular backups. They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
Hope that information helps.

How can I import 100s of *.ics individual calendar events & todo's from SL into ML Calendar?

Hi,
This question is RE a clean install of ML ... moving from SL (which I did a while back when the HDD with SL died - luckily I had a TM backup).
I have a number of calendar events (including to-do's) that I need to transfer to the new ML operating system. I didn't get the chance to 'export' my calendar before my SL version died, but I do have a Time Machine backup. When I looked in the ~library/calendar folder, there are hundreds of individual events.
Is there any way of copy all of these to my new calnedar in ML? What happens to the to-dos ... as the new calendar doesn't have to-do's and is replaced with reminders? How would I normally rebuild my Calendar in this situation?
Thanks,
M.

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my Mac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?

Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this? I fear this is a really stupid question!
My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails. But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments. To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work. If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level? or both?
Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

"Fix" for Calendar Events displaying one day early

I posted a question about this a couple of weeks ago, but can't find my original post. No way to search by user name, so I gave up looking for it after 10 or so pages. Because there are several others who have posted about the same problem, I decided to start a new discussion describing the fix that worked for me, with help from Apple Tech Support.
Background of my problem: New iPhone 4S, set up as "new phone" -- calendar events synced via MobileMe without any problems. Or so I thought. Discovered a few days later that any "All Day" event was shown on the day prior to the actual event -- US Holidays and Birthdays in particular. Events with specific start/end times were displaying on the correct day.
Checked these forums and was unable to find a solution, so I made an appointment for the following week with Tech Support to have someone call me. Fred first had me try resetting the phone. Didn't fix it.
Note: Somewhere in our troubleshooting, he had me turn off the Birthday and US Holiday calendars on both the phone and iCal on my computer, then turn them back on and do a sync. This did not correct the event dates. If I remember correctly (I wasn't taking notes), this was before changing any settings in iTunes and didn't fix the problem. However... it *might* have played a part in the final fix, so if the following steps don't fix it for you, try adding in the off/on for the calendars before changing the iTunes sync settings.
What finally worked :
Changing a setting in iTunes to overwrite the Calendar on my iPhone and doing a Sync (bypassing MobileMe entirely). Here's how to do it.
In iTunes, go to the "Info" tab and scroll down to the Advanced section. There are 5 checkboxes there and selecting one or more will overwrite the corresponding items on the iPhone during the next sync only. He had me check Calendar, then perform a Sync.
That worked! For US Holidays, but most of the birthdays were still one day off, except ones I'd entered manually in iCal. All of the misplaced birthdays are published by dates I've entered for contacts in Address Book on my Mac.
I went back to iTunes and checked Birthdays in the Advanced area and performed another sync. That overwrote the Birthday calendar on the phone and now all of my Birthdays and US Holidays are showing on the correct days.
Would have been quicker if I had checked Birthdays at the same time as US Holidays, so when you follow the steps, check both Birthdays and Holidays to save yourself some time.
Hope this helps all of you who are having the same problem I was.

All of my dates are out by one day in ical (and address book). I can change them manually (best advice I could get from Apple), but it keeps happening to me. Any help appreciated, I have 10.8.6; macbook pro, iphone 4s and am frustrated. This seems to be a common problem but I can't find a fix.
In the post above advice is to go to itunes, "info tab", Advanced...but I don't see an "info tab" -
Thanks for any help!

Calendar events issue Outlook for Mac: Failure to update or send notification for meetigns

We are seeing an issues with Outlook for Mac 2011 and calendar events. These events are in the past and Outlook will randomly post errors about the event stating that it has failed to make changes, please contact the original creator.
Additionally, some users are reporting that Outlook will not successfully send meeting cancellation notices to Windows users. All of the server and directory settings are setup correctly. Is there an issue with Outlook for Mac successfully sending
back to the Exchange server here? We're running Exchange server 2007 SP1 and in the midst of upgrading to 2013. Hopefully this and a host of other issues are resolved with 2013.
Thanks.

Where is the Note field in Mavericks' Calendar events?

Created a new event in Calendar today, but couldn't find any way to enter a note about the event. Calendar in Mavericks has a new UI that takes some getting used to, so I'm going to assume that the note function is still there. But where is it?
Bonus question: Is there any way to move the default location of the event editing panel from the upper left corner of the display to somewhere in the middle? On a 27" iMac display, the upper left corner is a rather awkward place to be editing Calendar events.
Thanks!

How to Drag and drop Mail message in Calendar event in Yosemite

Hi,
I am not sure if this has already been answered or if Yosemite Mail is missing one cool feature. In Mavericks and before, it was every easy to drap and drop a email message to a calendar event in the "URL" attachment section where it appeared as "Show in Mail..." in the event. But now, I don't find this drap-and-drop feature anymore?
The other alternative is to create a event from the Mail message content if there is a date (like 12/12/14) specified. But what about messages which do not have dates in them but I still want to attach the email to a calendar event?
Please chime in if others are also experiencing the same pain in Yosemite or if there is any other easier trick?
Thanks!

Hi Vivman,
