Calendar recurrence options and filters

I am trying to create a calendar entry that repeats every week but lasts for 3 or 4 days straight.
As in, the event goes from Wednesday thru Saturday and repeats every week for 10 weeks?
How can I accomplish this, at the moment all I see in my recurrence/pattern options is reoccur every X days or make it happen every weekday.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, John. DM Mac does not seem to have an "advanced" option in the Back up / Restore" mode. It basically gives you two choices: restore all of a backup or select items to restore. Does this, in your view, mean that my only option is to wipe and then restore all except for calendar records and option (1) and then try to do a sync with the calendar?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Can't Access Calendar General Options and other issues (Sync issue?)

I have a Curve 8330m. V4.5.0.169. I recently began syncing with Blackberry Desktop for Mac. After the latest update I got sync error messages. So I decided not to sync my contacts in case I’d lose them. (I had been through quite a bit of grief to get them nicely synced). I hadn’t synced my calendar so I decided to try that. Since then, my calendar has not functioned properly.
I can’t access General Options on the Calendar Menu. When I choose “Today” it goes to a date in the future (17 days hence). The same thing happens when I “Go to Date”. The Week View is totally different and very basic looking. The date at top does not match the week . . . . .
I could go on and on. It seems like the "formatting" of the Calendar view has been corrupted.
But what I’d really like to do is fix it!
Can I delete the calendar without deleting contacts? Do I need to do a wipe and start all over? And do I risk never seeing my addresses on the Blackberry again?
I really need both contacts (thousands) and calendar for my work.
I would appreciate any help?
Thanks in advance

Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

Go to
Settings,
General,
Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
Hope this helps.

TS3274 Ipad calendar won't save dates. I've tried all resets as well as sync options and it will still not work. Any other suggestions?

Ipad calendar won't save dates. I've tried all resets as well as sync options and it will still not work. Any other suggestions?

What do you mean it won't save date? What exactly are you pressing and what happens or doesn't happen?
Try this:
Open the Calendar App and Tap Calendar at the bottom of the screen. Make sure all calendars have checkmarks, then Tap Done. Do your events show up now?

IPhone Calendar keep resyncing, and the color keeps changing too.

I have my iPhone syncing with our corporate exchange server. Everything was working well. I updated my phone to iOS 4 and a few weeks later I started to see issues.
The calendar items are blue. They they all disappear. I see it re-syncing. Not everything shows up... The ones that do show up, are now red.
The next time the red goes away, a re-sync happens, and now the calendar is purple.
And so on through the rainbow...
I seems that I keeps re-syncing and doesn't get everything when it does.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I've had the same problem with a new iPhone 4 (the problem didn't manifest with my old phone upgraded to IOS4). Mail and Contacts are fine, but Calendar kept losing synchronization with the Exchange server.
Set up the Exchange account and everything seemed fine. A day later most, but not all, of my exchange appointments were nowhere to be found. Deleted and recreated the Exchange account, calendar back ... but a day later poof all sorts of missing entries. Same symptoms in list view the original poster sees.
This morning I changed the calendar Sync options from 1 month to 'All Events' and suddenly everything is good again with Calendar. (Initially, I saw the events in list view, but not in day or month view. Restarted the Calendar app and things are now fine in all 3 views)
I have a lot of recurring appointments with exceptions. Several standing conference calls have original creation dates well over 6 months ago. The program manager sends status reports as an update to the calendar item, so almost every past appointment is in the system as an exception to the recurring event. The funny thing, though, was that I was seeing some of the recurring appointments, but not any of the individual items.
Don't know for certain, but if I was a betting man I would bet the problem lies with the way IOS4 handles recurrence and exceptions.
I also don't know if this "fix" will hold up. The last couple of times I got Calendar in sync, it went out of whack within 24 hours. I'll update in a day or so if things hold up.

Birthday calendar bizarre repetitions and other issues

I have the STRANGEST things happening with birthdays on both my iPhone (5, 32GB, white, iOS 6) and iPad (32GB, iOS 6, white).
I'm posting it here in the iPhone forum, assuming more people may be able to help.
First of all, I sync a Google Apps calendar with my iPhone and iPad via CalDAV. I also sync my Google Contacts with my address book (including birthdays), which syncs via my MacBook on OS 10.6.8 using the sync icon in the system tray. (I hesitate to call it MobileMe, even though that's what the System Preferences calls it, because it really has nothing to do with MobileMe -- it does not sync via MobileMe [I do not have an account], it just syncs my Address Book with Google with my phone or iPad when hooked up. It is through a WIRED connection that it does the final sync to the device.)
So, my birthdays from my address/contact books and my Google contacts DO sync and they DO show up on both my iOS devices in the fancy Birthday calendar with the cute cake symbol, as well as in my Google calendar.
NOW HERE'S THE CRAZY PARTS.
Sometime recently, my birthdays were getting repeated. But oddly, enough they are a different amount on the two iOS devices. I have 18 copies of all birthdays (on the same day) in my iPhone calendar and 68 (YES, SIXTY-EIGHT COPIES) in my iPad of every birthday.
My Google calendar shows NO SUCH ERRONEOUS copies.
The crazier thing is that the copies of the birthdays are NOT on the birthday calendar. In fact, IT'S AS IF THEY JUMP AROUND ON DIFFERENT CALENDARS. They show up all one color, but some random color. They will appear or disappear only SOMETIMES if I turn "off" some calendars or others (for example, once they would go away if I hid a "Personal" calendar, another if I hid a calendar I subscribe to via Google but sync via CalDAV from Weather Underground, and another calendar that is a Google calendar but also my "default calendar" in the iOS settings). And this is all within minutes.
When I go into an instance of the repeated calendar event, it will actually say it belongs to my default calendar, regardless of what was hiding or showing it before.
When I try to "edit" the birthday just to see what happens, it crashes the app.
WHAT. THE. ______???
Here's what already I've tried:
Searching the internet for someone with a similar problem. NADA.
Turning off the option to sync my Google birthday calendar via the Google sync page (I think it's actually unnecessary anyway, since iOS pulls from the contact book, anyway). That did nothing.
Hiding all calendars and then selecting them to show one at a time to figure out which calendar was causing the problem, but as I mentioned above, it is not consistent.
Re-syncing my devices with iTunes.
Searching for and merging duplicate contacts in Google contacts.
Turning off the iOS birthday calendar.
Killing and re-starting the calendar app.
Re-starting my iOS devices.
Re-syncing my contact book with my devices.
Someone. Please. Tell me you're having this problem and that you have the solution? I'm going crazy over here! I can't remember anything that may have triggered this to happen.

I figured it out! (Or at least, it's been fixed for a day on both my iPad and iPhone.)
By the way, I discovered more oddities, but I'm not going to even bother with describing them.)
I am assuming everyone here has been syncing their birthday calendar off of Google/Gmail (whether CalDAV or Exchange, it doesn't matter).
The key to this is to know three things:
A) Tgara was on to something: syncing the Google birthday calendar in your Google sync settings -- even though it does not show up in your calendar list on the iphone/ipad -- is the culprit.
B) BUT, simply un-syncing will not make them go away unless you completely un-sync all your Google calendars. Once the repetitions get into your phone/iPad via they are kind of "stuck" there, and you've got to go back to the beginning to un-stick them for good.
C) Thus, it may require some trial and error because I had to repeat this a couple times. I may no have the right order of operations, but this is my best recreation/guess.
How I fixed it (I had to repeat a couple times for some reason):
1) I'm debating whether you have to do this step (I think I did it on my iPhone, but not my iPad, and yet both worked), but it doesn't take long, so you could just to be safe: on your iOS device, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars -- delete your Google calendar account.
2) On your iOS device, go to the proper Google sync page to choose what calendars are available for syncing.
For Exchange, go to: https://m.google.com/sync/settings/iconfig/device
For CalDAV and Gmail/normal sync, go to: https://www.google.com/calendar/b/0/iphoneselect
For Google Apps CalDAV (although it worked for me on the normal page above), go to: https://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/yourhosteddomain.com/iphoneselect
If you're not sure which method you use, do both of them.
3) Sign in and choose the device in question (if prompted) and then uncheck ALL the calendars. Save/apply.
4) Go to calendar app. You should have an On my iPhone or On my iPad calendar and the iOS birthday calendar. Ensure that no repetitions are seen when you check mark each calendar idividually and also collectively to be visible. If there are, repeat the steps above.
5) Once the repetitions are gone, go to your iOS settings and add the calendar account back in if you removed it in step one.
6) Go back to the calendar app. Again, you will have two calendars -- one default Google calendar and one ios birthday calendar. Turn on each one at a time and also together to make sure the repetitions are gone. If they are not, repeat the above again.
7) Once they are gone, go back to the Google sync page(s) and add all the calendars you want back, BUT DO NOT SELECT YOUR BIRTHDAY CALENDAR. Save/apply.
8) Go to the calendar app. Open up the calendar list. Wait for it to refresh. Now you should be able to turn on all your calendars you wish to see, wait for it to propagate, and confirm there are no copies. If there are copies, repeat all the steps!
YOU DO NOT need to erase your contacts. Not sure about iGust's work-around, but that's unnecessary. And christina44, I actually think this is a different problem. All my copies were on the correct date.

I cannot open iphoto- the message I am getting says Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Comma

i cannot open iphoto- the message I am getting says Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command-
I tries and it doesnt work!!

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

LSO - Issue with Factory calendar End Year and creation of New courses

Hi,
Recently we are experiencing an Issue in LSO with the system hanging while creation of "Course with Resources".
Upon Analysis we identified that while creating course with resources and by checking "Period without Days off" option references the set factory calendar in LSO config and since this set Factory Calendar has an End Year in 2005, the system hangs trying to reference this factory calendar.
For some course types we are unable to even enter the course creation Data screen. These course types have " Main schedule" (with / without pattern) pre defined.
The issue does not seem to occur if we extend the factory calendar to current period or future.
Please let me know if anybody has faced this issue, if extending the factory calendar the right solution and what is the impact of exteding a factory calendar in HR module. Is the factory calendar referenced anywhere else in HR module?
Note: in LSO config you can set the factory calendar in Training and Event Management>SAP Learning Solution>Training Management>Basic settings>Control Options for Days Off,
Regards

EasyDMS: New handling of layouts and filters

Hi,
in the past we deployed standard layouts and filters in EasyDMS via registry keys. Now there's a new option to store it in the backend (several tables e.g. EDMS_LAYOUT, EDMS_FILTER, etc.).
However we've some troubles with these settings - example:
We've defined default settings in EDMS_PREFS table. As soon as a user creates his own layout or filter the new values override the default - even if he just wants to create a new layout also the filter is gone.
Does any body have some more details on this stuff? There are (almost) no OSS notes, there is no documentation, there's nothing mentioned in the release notes ...
Thx
Alex

Hi,
Please refer SAP Note 1405541 and see if this is helpful. If will be helpful if all the issues faced are listed in detail.

Question: Calendar posted apointments and bold dates

The normal behavior for group wise when one adds an appointment for the calendar is to show the date of the appointment in bold on the 'Calendar View'. I.E. the panel of small month calendars on the left of the main calendar panel, between the folder panel and the main calendar panel.
It would be nice for me, if there was a way to designate some posted appointments to not cause the days in the Calendar View months to be bold. I use posted appointments to block off daily time I do not want to be available for meetings. But since I have these times blocked off for every work day, ALL the days in the Calendar View are bold. Thus I get no benefit of being able to glance at the Calendar view and see what days coming up have meetings. Thus, it would be nice if I could designate some appointments in some manner so that they don't display in this way.
Any chance that this exists as a feature. Or am I too unique again and want some software feature that nobody else cares about?

Why Adobe does not say that some plug-ins and filters on a 64-bit Apple computers do not work?

I called assistance, and the only proposal that I have done was to make new installations, or create a new user.
Then I found this article on the web!
..."Unfortunately, to accommodate the new programming code that allows for 64-bit processing, some plug-ins and filters—the built-in
Variations and Lighting Effects, for example—only work in 32-bit mode, and that surely will disappoint some users. Moreover, most t
hird-party plug-ins too will work only in 32-bit mode, until they are updated. Thankfully, it’s easy (though not especially convenie
nt) to switch between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the program; just select the application icon, choose File->Get Info, turn o
n the 32-bit option, and relaunch Photoshop."
It is not a system so simple for a person working with photoshop files very large (Over 6/7 GB). You lose several minutes of time.
The tests carried out then the difference in performance from 64 to 32 Bit is 40-50% faster in 64 bit mode. This is also why the 64-bit version you can assign more memory.
Someone from Adobe can answer?
Then, to conclude.
But the icons of some new palette of photoshop could not make it more beautiful and not ugly and unpleasant?
Mario

You not hearing it doesn’t mean Adobe didn’t say it.

. I have version 10.6.8 at the moment... how do I update this?
As Terence Devlin said, the upgrade to Mavericks is free at the AppStore. Open the first tab at the AppStore (Featured) and you can buy it for free, if your Mac can be upgraded to Mavericks.
But before you do that, check the applications you need to use for compatibility with Mavericks, for example at Roaring Apps: http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a
PowerPC applications can no longer run on Mavericks, some device drivers may not be available as Mavericks compatible versions.
To prepare for the update take these precautions:
Make a full backup of your mac, including the applications libraries. In addition to the TimeMachine backup a bootable clone is very useful, since it enables you to revert easily to the old system.
Update all applications to there latest version, thatare available on Snowleopard.
If you find, that the Mavericks upgrade would make too many applications redundant, consider Terence Devlin's second option to buy the boxed iLife version.
