Calendar repeat on particular day of month

Using the calendar on the iPhone is there any way to set an recurring event to occur on a particular day, say the 2nd Tuesday of every month rather than the same date.
If this isn't possible can someone remind me of the link to put in a request to Apple for an enhancement to the software.

Thanks Meg St._Clair and randers4 for your replies which have been very useful.
It's a pity that Apple don't provide this facility with the built-in calendar but with so many apps offering extras it is all working out very well.
And to anyone who forgets important occasions, one of the calendar add-on apps I've installed which has saved me a lot of grief with birthdays and anniversaries is called 'Occasions' by Hand Carved Code. All I now need is an automated card & present sender or perhaps a shop calendar interaction service so I don't forget to buy that card or present when I'm in a shop

IPad iOS7 Select a particular day from month view?

When I open my calendar in month view, in the past (iOS6) I was able to double tap on a particular day and that day view would show up. Ever since the update to iOS7, I am not able to do that. When I hit day view, it seems to send me to a random day, or sometimes today, and then I have to scroll all the way over to the day I wanted, which could be months away. Is this an issue with everyone or is there something I am not doing correctly? Thanks!

I tried restarting it and there is no change. I did already notice that I can hold down and add an event to a day if I wish. I use my calendar constantly for work, so what I would be trying to do is looking ahead in month view to schedule an appointment, or just view appointments. Each day I can have as many as 5 or 6 appointments listed, so not all of the events will show up. So it was easy for me before to just double tap that day to see the full list of appointments. Thanks all for responses so far. Am I correct in assuming that no one can do this anymore with the update?

Calendar List different than Day or Month

I have an IPhone 4 with IOS 5.1.1. Recently when I go to my Calendar the appointments shown in the List view are one day behind the appointments shown on the Day or Month view (i.e. 2:00 pm appointment shown correctly in Day and Month for Monday shows up incorrectly as a Tuesday appointment). I have restarted my phone hoping to this would reset and correct the problem but problem still exists. Can anyone help?

Calendar has marked every day in monthly view

Hello,
I'm using my (German) 3G with Exchange Active Sync. It works fine except for one problem. The monthly calendar marks a event for every day with the small rectangle. This makes it of course difficult, to identify a day where a event exist.
Any idea, how to solve this?
Regards

Mobile Calendar synchronisation for particular days

Hello,
Looking to configure the synchronisation settings on nokia mobile for which the synchronsiation should be for only previous 15 days and next 15 days.
Please let me know where can i do that.
regards,
Sharmila

Could be the filters from Admin Console.
By default the only the last 7 days are synchronized to device.
You can change this interval to a bigger value to catch your calendar items.

When I try to synchronise my calendar it all goes wrong when I have recurring appointments which I enter on Outlook. These are in the format ' first Tuesday of each month' as I play Bridge with different partners on different days each month so it is NOT every 4 weeks necessarily, it depends on the month. These get lost on synchronisation or sometimes end up on a totally different day/date. What can I do as it is very annoying.
Also it altered some theatre dates where I had entered both date and name of play - the name of the play vanished when I synchronised not just on i-pad but it deleted the info from Outlook as well.

Others have the same complaint. iCal on the iPad can do recurring appointments, but not in the format you want (First Tuesday of every Month). It will do the same DATE each month (e.g, the 25th of each month), but for now it does not do a particular DAY of each month.

Calendar meetings by day of month

Is there an easy way to get meetings to repeat by the day of the month? I have meetings which are held on the 2nd Monday, 3rd Wednesday, 2nd saturday, fourth Monday, etc. My Treo had a category for this.
Thanks

Assuming you are syncing your Calendar to icloud (http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3c79652c), you go to www.iCloud.com and login with your AppleID.

Calendar in List view different from Day and Month view

When I look at my Calendar in 'List' view all of the Birthdays and Events are in the wrong date but in 'Day' and 'Month' view they are correct.
Has anybody found a fix for this yet? I have looked at similar discussions but they are all a couple of years old and none seem to have found the solution

It looks like I have found a solution - it is to do with the birthday dates - if you delete the year of any pre-1932 birthdays it solves the problem!

How can I repeat an event in Calendar on a specific day.

I want to set a repeat event on a specific day each month, like the Last Tuesday. Also I'd like to set a quarterly repeat event.

Using the native calander, the only options you have are those that pop up when you hit 'repeat'. So if you are looking for a specific date each month, you are fine, but looking for the 4th tuesday, you are not fine. You might search the app store for non apple alternatives.

Calender:Obtaining days/weeks/months between a start & end Calendar range

I have a startDate and endDate of Calendar type. From this start and end calendar values I want to obtain all the days/weeks/months.
Eg
Calendar beginDate; // is 14-Oct-2006
Calendar endDate; // is 20-Mar-2007
If I am looking at the months between the two calendar values, I want to be able to know that
[1] there are 6 months
[2] The months are Oct 2006, Nov 2006... Mar 2007 (across years i.e. 2006 and 2007 as well)
I want to be able to have a generic solution to do this at the days and weeks level as well.
Really appreciate all help.
Thanks,

I was able to come up with a solution, if any better is known, please suggest:
Summary of what I did:
[1] First formated the end and start Calendar dates using SimpleDateFormat, and brought it to the 'MMM yyyy' structure, so that I have a common base to compare on
[2] depending on condition, I increment the month and copy the result into an ArrayList that I need for use later.
Snippet of the code is here:
SimpleDateFormat monthYear    = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM yyyy");
ArrayList<String> MonthInDateRange = new ArrayList<String>();
Calendar calTempDate, calStartDate, calEndDate, calCurrentDate;
String StartDateFormat, EndDateFormat;
TempDateFormat = StartDateFormat;
StartDateFormat = monthYear.format(calStartDate.getTime());
EndDateFormat = monthYear.format(calEndDate.getTime());
MonthInDateRange.add(StartFormat); // Starting Month
calCurrentDate = calStartDate;
while ( !(TempDAteFormat.equalsIgnoreCase(EndDateFormat)) ) {
            calCurrentDate.add(calCurrentDate.MONTH, +1);
            TempFormat = monthYear.format(calCurrentDate.getTime());
            MonthInDateRange.add(TempFormat);
Would like to know whether any of you have used a function in Calendar that can help me acheive the same thing, but in a more efficient manner. As I am looking for something generic that I can use at different levels daily,weekly, monthly (currently what I solved above), etc.
Thanks,

View Modes - Day-Week-Month

Does anyone know of any way to add a quarterly view mode? (in otehr words being able to see 90 days at a time as an added view option - Day/Week/Month/Quarter)
If not, are there any third party workarounds that can modify and provide a 90 day view mode in iCal?
At the very least is there any EFFECTIVE way to communicate and get this easy enhancement added to the upcoming version of iCal.
It is incredibly inconvenient to have to move calendar items to the following month with the restrictive view of only one month. IN other words, if I wanted to move an appointment from February 24 to say March 20 I am forced to manually open the item and type in new dates.
A great system program known as DateBook Pro 4.0 had such a view option and I absolutely miss it EVERY day!

I am experiencing the same symptoms - Day, Week, Month and the Today button are all grayed out. It particularly seems to happen if I've left iCal running overnight. The only way I've found to fix it is to re-start iCal. When this is happening, the only way to navigate to a different week (or month) is to use the menu "Go to date" function. I think the onset of this problem relates to an Apple software upgrade , but I can't be sure which one.

How to display timed events across multiple days in month view?

Simple question I suppose, though I don't know if it has an answer. When I put an event spanning multiple days (say, a week long vacation) in iCal, and check the "All Day" box, it shows a nice, accurate, bar going across those days the event I'm entering covers. However, if I give it specific times for the event (e.g. the times of departure and return for said trip), even if those times are a week apart, the event still appears to only cover the starting date when viewed from the month perspective.
Is there any way I can make the month calendar show all the days during which the event is "happening" so that at a glance I will realize that an entire week is busy?

Hi,
You can do it with keyboard shortcuts.
Select the event. Press Cmd+X. Press Cmd and right or left arrow (depending if it is forward or back in months) until you are in the correct month. Press Cmd+V to pase on the same day in the new month.
Best wishes

Ios 5 Update New Features says that iCal now has a week view for iPhone but after updating last weekend, I don't see any week view--just List, Day and Month..How do I get the week view?

ios 5 Update New Features says that calendar now has a week view but after updating my iPhone 4 last weekend, I don't see any week view for iCal--just List, Day and Month as in the past. Is the weekly view available for iCal and if so, how do I access it?

Highlighting multiple days in Month View?

Hello everyone & Happy Friday All !!!
I'm new to this forum, and VERY new to using ical -
Here's my question:
In my old method of using a calendar to do my schedule on my old PC -
I'd make a spreadsheet in MS Excel that would show me monthly views that I could highlight days,
weeks or entire months..... It's crude in comparison to ical, yet it IS effective for my needs......
I am used to highlighting either a single day or a string of days in my "month" view,
so... for example - let's say that Monday thru Thursday of next week I am going to be "out of the office in London - UK" -
I would simply highlight the four days of next week - and instead of leaving those cells "white"
like every other day in the month - I'd change those four cell's colored "fill" option from white to
bright yellow - (or any other color that signifies a specific action or function - like "green" for vacation days, or "blue" for a sick day or surgery, etc....
This way - that at a glance (literally) - I can tell that I'm "out of the office" on those days next week that are colored other than "white"..... NOTE: the ENTIRE CELL - Not Just the Day Title is colored......
(I wish I could insert a visual example of what I am trying to describe here...)
Is there a way of doing this same kind of function in ical - so that I can have an "at a glance" or
"heads up display" that I can see quickly and know I'm committed on those days next week - or
any week or group of days for that matter?
This would help me tremendously of there is a way of doing this...... Otherwise - I'll be STUCK
in the 90's using my improvised Excel Spreadsheet Calendar.....
Thanks in advance for your help
kevin

Welcome to the discussions, azstoneconsulting.
In iCal colours are tied to specific calendars, so make a vacation calendar and a sick calendar (you forecast your sickness? Cool) and an out of office calendar and set the colours to whatever colour suits. Then when you are going to be in London select the out of office calendar and set it to last the four days. It will show as a coloured bar across those days in month view.

Posting not to be allowed on a particular day

Hi,
Can I restrict the posting for a particular day? For eg. we want to restrict the users to post any transaction with posting date 15-Aug or 26-Jan. Can I do that? If yes, please advice how?
To my knowledge I can open & close the posting period for a month only and not for a particular day.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Hi,
If your periods are managed by months, then indeed you cannot do it with period closure. You can achieve this requirement via validation instead (OB28).

Eli
