Calendar suggest for recurring items

Say you have a standing meeting every Tuesday and Thursday at 8AM. You enter all the detail on Tuesday, and then set it as a repeat, daily. Great for Tuesday. But what about Thursday. You have to reenter all the details all over again. Isn't the idea of this device to simplify our lives. Re-entering all the same data twice is a waste of our collective time.
What should happen is this:
After you enter daily a drop down menu should pop up. It would least every day of the week and allow us to click the days on or off. Just a simple radio button. This would make the appoint repeat on just those days which are clicked on each week. Really simple. More importantly, really really useful.
Similarly if you have an appointment that repeats every 6 weeks, there is no way whatsoevr to enter this event to repeat. But you could if after selecting weekly, a drop down menu came up and asked if you wanted to repeat this item every 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks etc. IYou would simply type in a number to set the repeat intervale.
Please add these two simple items for those of us that use the calendar a lot.

Any suggestions for the ITEM NUMBER field

We sell DVDs, Books, CDs, etc. for which we have item groups setup.
We are using the ISBN based EAN barcode for the bar code field.
Any best practices for coming up with the ITEM NUMBER naming convention that people have for us.
Currently we use the short form title of the DVD or book to denote the item number.
Mike

Hi Mike,
There are always pros and cons for something like Item Code convention.
In my experience, I would like to make them in the same length whenever possible. Because they are internal codes, they should be easier to be used for both technical and non-technical users. Sometimes you might not be able to make both parties happy. In that case, you have to give up something to compromise. The most important above all is to eliminate any duplicated codes. You will find that could the most difficult job if you give more users the abilities to create Item Code. If that is a must for your business, more training will be needed for all those users.
Thanks,
Gordon

Calendar doesn't handle exceptions on recurring items

There are several cases where exceptions are not handled for recurring items:
1) If the Host makes an exception (room change / time change / cancellation) that is not reflected in the iPhone
2) If a participant wishes to decline from one particular instance, it deletes the entire recurring event.
Also, there is no indication that a reply is sent to the organizer (host) when you decline or accept a meeting.
There may be other cases which aren't handled, but I've only been on ActiveSync / Exchange 2007 for less than a day now, and I already notice these lame differences from the features in sync-via-USB/iTunes

The calendar app is woefully inadequate for anything but the most rudimentary scheduling. Having used DateBk6 on the Palm platform for years, I suddenly feel like I'm back in nursery school trying to maintain my calendar/schedule with an orange crayon.
And Apple got so much right with the iPhone that this is just glaring in its deficiencies. I can only imagine this was a 'rush to get it included' situation. I certainly can't imagine that anyone at Apple would be satisfied with this application. It doesn't even duplicate the functionality of Apple's own iCal, let alone any better calendar program.
It is disappointing inasmuch as I usually look to Apple to take the lead in putting out high-quality applications.

HT4489 How do I reduce the number of calendar items on iCloud (having exceeded my 25000 entry limit and synch has now stopped), without loosing recurring items or future appointments. I.E. can I remove items by calendar year, say 2010 and 2011?

I have been advised by apple that I have exceeded the 25000 entry limit on my iCloud calendar. Now, every time I try to make an entry in my iCal (iCloud) calendar, I get a warning with error warning "507". In essence I cannot add entries to my iCloud calendar on iCal, and synch with my iPad and iPhone has stopped. How do I reduce the number of calendar items on my iCloud calendar without loosing recurring items or future appointments. I.E. can I remove items by calendar year, say 2010 and 2011?

Outlook 2013 VBA Event for recurring appointments

Hello,
I have VBA code that copies new Calendar entries to a secondary calendar. For recurring meetings it only copies the 1st meeting to the secondary calendar. Is there an Outlook VBA event that occurs whenever a Recurring appointment is created and/or edited?
I have done some searching on the Internet but haven't found any answers.
Adrian Hernandez

Hello Adrian,
The Outlook object model doesn't provide such events. Instead, make sure that the RecurrencePattern object is set properly on the copied appointment item. The
GetRecurrencePattern method of the AppointmentItem class returns a RecurrencePattern object
that represents the recurrence attributes of an appointment. If there is no existing recurrence pattern, a new empty RecurrencePattern object is returned.
The IsRecurring property of the AppointmentItem class is based on
the GetRecurrencePattern method.
When the GetRecurrencePattern method
is used with an AppointmentItem object,
this property is set to True.
Be aware, when you work with recurring appointment items, you should release any prior references, obtain new references to the recurring appointment item before you access or modify the item, and release these references as soon as you are finished and
have saved the changes. This practice applies to the recurringAppointmentItem object,
and any Exception or RecurrencePattern object.
To release a reference in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) or Visual Basic, set that existing object to Nothing. In C#, explicitly release the memory for that object. For a code example, see the topic for the AppointmentItem object.
Note that even after you release your reference and attempt to obtain a new reference, if there is still an active reference, held by another add-in or Outlook, to one of the above objects, your new reference will still point to an out-of-date copy
of the object. Therefore, it is important that you release your references as soon as you are finished with the recurring appointment.

Outlook 2007 Calendar Monitoring: track send event for recurring meetings

Hi,
I'm working on an Outlook 2007, VSTO 2010, .NET 3.5 add-in which monitors AppointmentItem objects changed on the user's calendar. Specifically I'm tracking the send event of the currently selected appointment in the calendar view. Currently my add-in is
set to cancel the send event and call Display() on the selected appointment instead.
I'm testing with Outlook 2007 SP3. The event handler is fired correctly for non-recurring meetings when the user changes the start or end time of the meeting and for recurring meeting occurrences / exceptions when the user changes the end time, but not when
the user changes the start time of a recurring meeting occurrence / exception. These are the specific steps:
Create a recurring appointment with e.g. 3 occurrences, add at least one attendee and send the invitation.
Set the Calendar to display a Week View.
Select the top edge of the first occurrence of the appointment created in step 1 and drag it upwards to increase the length of the appointment by half an hour.
Release the mouse button and press enter to confirm the change.
Answer 'Save changes and send update' in the popup.
At this point the addin should cancel the send event and display the appointment, but actually the event handler is not called. This behavior occurs only when I change the start time of an occurrence / exception. When I change the end time the event handler
is called correctly.
Do you have any clue why the event handler is only called for the one change and not for the other? How could I work around this issue?

Hi Eugene,
Thanks for your reply. Here is my code:
public class ExplorerMonitor {private Explorer explorer;private AppointmentItem selectedAppointment;
public ExplorerMonitor()
this.explorer = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveExplorer();
this.explorer.SelectionChange += new ExplorerEvents_10_SelectionChangeEventHandler(Explorer_SelectionChange);
private void Explorer_SelectionChange()
Selection selection = null;
object selectedItem = null;
bool eventsHookedUp = false;
try
// first remove the listeners from the previously selected item
this.StopSelectedItemMonitor();
selection = this.explorer.Selection;
if (selection.Count == 1)
selectedItem = selection[1];
AppointmentItem appointment = selectedItem as AppointmentItem;
if (appointment != null)
this.selectedAppointment = appointment;
((ItemEvents_10_Event)this.selectedAppointment).Send
+= new ItemEvents_10_SendEventHandler(SelectedAppointment_Send);
// Stop monitoring when the item is opened in an explorer window.
this.selectedAppointment.Open
+= new ItemEvents_10_OpenEventHandler(SelectedAppointment_Open);
eventsHookedUp = true;
catch (System.Exception exception)
logger.Error("Caught in Explorer_SelectionChange", exception);
finally
if (!eventsHookedUp)
// only release if we didn't start monitoring it
ComMarshaler<object>.releaseComObject(ref selectedItem);
ComMarshaler<Selection>.releaseComObject(ref selection);
private void SelectedAppointment_Open(ref bool Cancel)
this.StopSelectedItemMonitor();
private void SelectedAppointment_Send(ref bool Cancel)
Cancel = true;
this.selectedAppointment.Display();
private void StopSelectedItemMonitor()
if (this.selectedAppointment != null)
this.selectedAppointment.Open -= new ItemEvents_10_OpenEventHandler(SelectedAppointment_Open);
((ItemEvents_10_Event)this.selectedAppointment).Send
-= new ItemEvents_10_SendEventHandler(SelectedAppointment_Send);
ComMarshaler<AppointmentItem>.releaseComObject(ref this.selectedAppointment);
public static class ComMarshaler<T>
public static void releaseComObject(ref T anObject)
if (anObject != null && Marshal.IsComObject(anObject))
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(anObject);
anObject = default(T);

Calendar Issues - "Repitition is not working for the item you tried to access"

I ran into an interesting error when troubleshooting a calendar issue today, wondering if anyone has seen it.
Exchange 2010 SP2 latest RU, Outlook 2010
User changes then start time for a recurring meeting, changes in everybody's calendar but hers 9still shows in her calednar as the original start time)
Logged into OWA to see if her claendar reflected the correct start time there - no, still shows the old start time. So I open the meeting, have a quick look, and the following error pops up:
"Repitition is not working for the item you tried to access. It's possible either the start or end date are not correct"
Has anyone seen this error in OWA before?
TAG

Hi,
Please double check whether the updated start time and end time are changed properly in attendees’ calendar. Also confirm whether the updating message is in the organizer’s sent items both in OWA and Outlook.
Thanks,

Alerts for recurring calendar appointments do not go off

Does anyone else have this issue? I have a bunch of recurring calendar events, set up in Outlook 2010, which the iPhone 4 used to show alerts for. Now (not sure when this started, but w/in last few months) there aren't any alerts even though I can see "1 day before" in the iPhone Calendar app for the recurring event. I even made a slight change to the recurring event in hopes of getting them back on track but no luck. Thanks.

I'm having the exact same issue with my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3.3, 4.3.4 and 4.3.5). I'm a new user (this is my first iPhone, bought one month ago), so I can't comment on earlier iOS versions. In the one month that I have the phone, I'm absolutely sure that I have never had an alert from a recurring event. I only noticed it a couple of weeks ago. I'm only using all-day events (for anniversaries, etc.), so I'm not sure if the same applies to other types of events.
I have made several tests and I can confirm that no alerts are generated for recurring all-day events. Something is seriously messed up in the Calendar App algorithms. At first I thought it had to do with MS Outlook 2007, whose calendar is synced with the iPhone. But when I create a recurring all-day event directly on the iPhone I get exactly the same behaviour (no alert, no pop-up, no sound, nothing). I can see the event on Calendar on the iPhone, and I can also see the alert settings (the time it should be generated, e.g., "Alert: 2 hours before"). So everything looks OK on the iPhone, but the alerts are never generated. I also did a test with a non-recurring all-day event, and everything worked fine (I got the alert pop-up and sound at the time I specified). This means that it's something specific to recurring events. Finally, I restored the iPhone to factory defaults and tried again by creating a recurring event directly on the untouched, factory-reset iPhone. Same thing, no alerts, no pop-ups, no sound, nothing.
This is clearly a serious bug in the Calendar App and I'm very surprised that Apple has not released an update to fix it. Also, I couldn't find much information on the Internet about this issue. That's why I'm replying to this thread, to let you and others know that you are not alone. I asked a friend of mine who is running iOS 5 Beta 2 and he said that everything works fine, so I guess we'll have to wait for iOS 5 to fix the issue.
I hope this helps someone out there. If anyone running iOS 4.3.3 or later is having the same problem, please reply here. Most of all, I hope that the guys at Apple read this and do something about it.

Why does iCal not provide for recurring To Do's?

I recently installed Leopard on my iMac and MacBook Pro, which instantly killed my ability to sync with my Blackberry via Pocket Manager for Mac. I thus purchased and installed Missing Sync, which seems to work ok, but is far from a straightforward solution. Missing Sync does not synch directly between the Blackberry device and Entourage, but instead circuitously syncs the two via the iCal application. This limits the capability of Entourage to what is available in iCal.
Given that situation, I find iCal has at least one glaring omission. While Entourage allows for recurring dates on a Task, iCal does not on its To Do's--and thus resets all Entourage Tasks to single occurrence upon a sync. The workaround seems to be to create the recurring item as a Calendar Event, which does allow for recurrence in iCal, as opposed to creating it as a task. The downside in this is that there is no To Do List view which shows these items.
Any solution other than the above workaround? Any plans to fix this?

I also would like to see recurring To Do's. I know that you can do recurring events in iCal but that clutters up my calendar. I am a homemaker/housewife and when I used microsoft office then I had all sorts of recurring to do's (i.e. change out furnace filters, pet medicines, order new credit report, etc). When i would complete the to do then it would automatically reenter a new one for 1 month, 3 months, 1 year (whatever I had set for that particular item). Is Apple every going to incorporate this into there To Do list. And also I would like to see the To Do's on the iPhone just like you can see the notes.

Exchange generates failure report emails for Inbox items which haven't attempted to be synced

Hello,Our ActiveSync client is reporting errors to the user when the user is sent certain types of recurrence invites. If an invite to a meeting is sent from the Outlook Web App to the user, and the user then syncs their Inbox (using our ActiveSync client and the Sync command), instead of receiving the correct email, they will get an email indicating an error:
From: Microsoft Exchange on Behalf of *user’s name*
Subject: Synchronization with your WinRT failed for 1 items.
Body:
Synchronization with your Winrt failed for 1 items.
The following items couldn’t be sent to your mobile phone. They haven’t been deleted …
Item Folder: Inbox
Item Type: IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Request
Item Created: *date*
Item Subject: *subject of missing email*
(WinRT is the name of our client currently.)
This occurs consistently when the invite is for a recurring meeting, which occurs on the last day of a month, yearly. (Yearly on the nth day of the month)
It also seems that after one of these error emails appears, other items start to be added in with it, although this could just be the result on my side from a lot of testing side effects.
There’s two strange things to note about this error.
The Exchange server never attempts to even send the items via ActiveSync to our client, so the error does not seem to be caused by our Sync request. I’ve used Fiddler to examine the calls, and we never receive the original message in any form.
The Windows Mail client (in Windows 8.1), which uses ActiveSync, has no problem Syncing the very same items that are causing the errors to appear. This gives the impression that something can be done to remedy the problem, but I have no idea what.Thanks

Hello ArchieCoder,
This is certainly not what I would expect to see. However, I can't say with certainty that it's related to the syncing issue.
I went back and looked at the Fiddler trace you took from the Windows Mail client. It gets the same FolderSync response. The first three folders in the response look like I expect--Calendar has ServerId 1, Contacts has ServerId 2, and Deleted Items has ServerId
3. After that, the ServerId value jumps to 11 for the Drafts folder, so it and all of the subsequent folders have a ServerId value that is 7 higher than what I would expect to see.
What seems especially weird to me is that the Windows Mail client proceeds to issue a Sync request for the list of CollectionIds I reported earlier, despite several of them being absent from the FolderSync response. Furthermore, it looks like the Windows
Mail client is getting Inbox items that are identified as being in CollectionId 5:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<airsync:Sync xmlns:airsync="AirSync">
 <airsync:Collections>
 <airsync:Collection>
 <airsync:SyncKey>933450273</airsync:SyncKey>
 <airsync:CollectionId>5</airsync:CollectionId>
 <airsync:Status>1</airsync:Status>
 <airsync:Commands>
 <airsync:Add>
 <airsync:ServerId>5:391</airsync:ServerId>
 <airsync:ApplicationData>
 <email:Subject>Canceled: Last day of december</email:Subject>
I'm really at a loss for what is going on with this. How difficult would it be for you to test this with your client assuming that Inbox is CollectionId 5 instead of the 12 that is returned from the FolderSync? I am afraid we might be focusing too closely
on this particular aspect of the issue without being sure it could be causing the real problem, so I think it would be good if you can either reproduce the failure syncing CollectionId 5 instead of 12, or show that your client fails in some other way if it
tries to sync CollectionId 5. A Fiddler trace of the outcome of that test including both the FolderSync response and Sync request/response would be the next logical step here, I think, assuming that that is doable. Please let me know what you think.
Best regards,

Palm Z22-how can I delete previous recurring items in one fell swoop?

Hello, I have a number of daily and weekly reminders in my palm z22 handheld pda (software v 4.5.2P) calendar (datebook) that are useful for the future, but all the the old ones (that I was too busy to delete at the time) are simply bogging down my overall speed and hogging my overall memory. Is there a way I can delete recurring reminders that occur before today's date? Thanks for any help. Bob

Try this: On your handheld or desktop (one, but not both), go to the first date of the recurring item you want to keep, and make a minor change (i.e. set a reminder time, or delete the reminder time, or add a period to the subject, etc), selecting "this and future" for what you want the change to refer to. Synch, then go to one of the older items that you want to delete, and delete "all" of those items. The one you changed should still remain on your calendar, and then you can fix that minor change that you made to keep it. This works for me (Tungsten E2), so I hope it also works for you.

Calendar Groups for Events

I had in the past created two "categories" in Calendar: one for "Home" and one for "Work" ... I thought I recently created a new one called "School" - there seems to be a drop-down arrow in front of the colored box for "School" that does nothing. I'm unable to use "School". I then tried to edit it or use it or create something new and now there's a new "category" called "Untitled 2" which I CAN use .... how do I get rid of "Calendars" I don't on "On My Mac" and use ones I do want? Also, can I select the color or are the colors pre-assigned? Also, I "subscribed" to "Birthday Calendar" but don't have any idea how to use it, activate it, add to it....

Hi,
Outlook.exe /cleanreminders switch will clear and regenerate reminders.
Does this problem occurred for just one user?
I suggest the following several methods to check this issue.
Open outlook with command: outlook.exe /cleanviews, this command will restore default views. All custom views you created are lost.
Switch outlook to online mode.
Check in OWA.
Best Regards.

Thanks for your replies. The reservation I have around the /cleanreminders switch is that effectively, the notifications are fine (they appear when they should) - but it's the underlying appointment which isn't showing (unless the reminder pops up
and you open the item). Will the reminders be regenerated if the actual appointment doesn't appear? Or will they disappear too?
Only one user gets these notifications, he created the appointments in the shared calendar. The notificiations and the appointments don't show in OWA - I'd expect the same with Outlook in online mode.
The worst thing to happen is lose all trace of these appointments.
Kind Regards,
Paul
