Can I create a "Shiftable" calendar?

I would like to create a "shiftable" calendar for a training program. I have a list of events that need to happen over a 40 day period and the start date can change, I want to be able to add this 40 day calendar and change the start date for multiple rounds of this training program. I don't want to have to enter each new calendar task for each round of this program.
I want to attribute this "calendar" to a new start date and it populates the next 40 days.

If we assume there are no issues (eg the new 40 day span includes a holiday, and so will actually need 41 days, or issues with weekends etc, then two ways spring to mind.
1) Requires more work, but once implemented probably simpler to use: store the details of the various events in a text file and have an Applescript that will prompt for a start date then pull in the text file and make the new events at the appropriate interval.
2) Easier, but a little bit messy ('cos you can't see 40 days at once): Make a new calendar and put in it your 40 days of events. Turn it off. When you want to set up a new series, turn on the template calendar and go back to whatever date you created it on. Select the all the events in the first month and copy them. Switch to your working calendar, find the start date of the new programme, click on it and paste. Back to the template, select the remainder of the events, back to the working calendar, and paste in the rest of the events. Turn off the template calendar until you need it again.

    Tap and hold a file. When it starts to shake, drag it on top of another file. This will create your folder. By the way, you can't create any nested folders (folders inside of folders).

  • Can I create a shared calendar on iCal from the New iPad?

    My company just gave out iPads for use to all field employees. My coworkers and I currently have an Outlook shared calendar that we utilize for scheduling our work. We can not access the shared calendars on our iPads, therefore I would like to create a shared calendar in iCal that we can all access for sharing our schedule as we were doing on Outlook. Is this possible?
    NOTE: The idea is that I would like to use the iPad as the sole resource, instead of carrying our laptops around just to access the shared outlook calendar/schedule. The laptops are outdated junk that requires roughly 20 mins of time just to power up, connect and sign in to our servers...very inefficient.
    Thank you!

  • How can I create a new calendar that starts the week on monday?

    Excel can do it, but I really like the template for calendars in numbers. That calendar is for printing it, so i don't need any special functionalities, only the template, with blank cells i can hand-write in.
    Thanks!

    Hi And95es,
    The Calendar template is very clever. Changing it to start on Monday would be a huge task. Here is an idea for a non-automatic calendar. Start with a table for month and year. Hide the table name if you like.
    A1 is a pop-up menu to choose a month. Type the year in B1.  I am trying to come up with a formula to show the day of the week for that month and year in B2. This is because you will have to type a 1 into the correct day in the calendar table to generate dates for the whole month.
    Create an  outline calendar like this:
    A2 contains the number 1
    B2=A2+1 and fill right
    A4=G2+1
    B4=A4+1 and Fill Right.
    Now select Row 4 and copy.
    Paste into every second row below.
    Format the table to make cells big enough to write in. Save as Template because you are about to make a calendar and you will need the template for next month.
    Type a 1 into the cell that is the first of that month. Now clear contents of cells you don't need.
    It would be handy to have a formula to show weekday for the first of the month. Not essential!
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How can I create a new calendar on iCal iPad 2????

    I need to create a new calendar on iCalendar from my iPad 2? The app doesn't have the "new calendar" button like the Mac version.

    Wait until iOS 5 is released on wednesday, then you will be able to create them directly on the iPad - from http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html#more :
    Add, rename, and delete calendars directly from your device.
    Until then you can only add calendars by syncing :
    You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)
    or
    In Settings on iPad, turn on Calendars in your MobileMe, Google, Yahoo!, or Microsoft Exchange account to sync your calendar information over the air. If your company or organization supports it, you can also set up a CalDAV account

  • Can I create a printed calendar in iphoto with ipad.  Don't see that option.

    IPhoto used in past by others in family to create a family calendar as Xmas gift.  This year it is my job. Downloaded iPhoto for iPad from App Store. (Paid $4.99). Now can't find path to create a calendar.  Description of iPhoto includes calendar, but seems ambiguous on use of iPhoto iPad app for this. Maybe can only do calendars on the Mac version?  Can I use iPhoto for iPad to make a calendar?

    iPhoto on the iPad can be used to make photo books, but not calendars. It is a very different program from the Mac version of iPhoto. I hope you have access to a mac to create your christmas calendar.
    http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/?handbuch#blnkbc26e276
    Search the AppStore for "Foto Calendar". I have not tried any of these apps, but there are quite a few, that claim to be able to create an "Awesome foto calendar"

  • Can I create a second calendar and share it with my wife computer

    Did know if I could create a second calendar and share it with my wife computer and iPhone? We both have our own separate iTunes accounts and computers and iPhones

    You should each sign up for iCloud (free):
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/get-started/
    You can then each sync your calendars to iCloud by going to System Preferences>iCloud and checking 'calendars'.
    Now one of you can privately share a calendar with write privileges to the other:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479 and expand 'Share a private calendar or reminder list with specific people'.

  • Can't create Calendar Event from Mail on my iPad anymore

    I no longer can create a new iPad Calendar Event from tapping on a date in email I receive.  The new Event dialog box will still appear when I click on the date in an email, but the dialog box is now too small and off-center, hiding the Done button in the upper right corner of the Dialog. Without the Done button, I can't create the new Calendar Event.  I can't resize the dialog box, or re-center it. 
    Is this a common problem after the latest iOS update?  Can anyone help?  Thanks.

    This still works for me in iOS 6.1.3
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • How do I create a new calendar for the current year, using last years calendar's birthday's/photos and comments from the lower pages?

    Each year for the past 5 years I make a family calendar and send copies to all he family members around the globe.  I hate that I have to recreate all the birthdays and special occasions from scratch, and re-drag all the photos onto these dates, in the lower half of the page of each month on the new calendar.  How can I create a new calendar for the current year and port all of these photos/comments into the new calendar from last years calendar, to save having to redo all this work!!  I am not talking about the upper half page of the photos only...I am referring to the calendar page of each month.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open iWeb so you see your original site in the left hand pane. Use the File->New Site menu option to create a new site. Give it the name you want.
    Now select a page in your original site and type Command+D. That will duplicate the page. Drag the duplicate page down to the new site and rename it as needed. Do that for the other pages you need in the original site.

  • HT2513 How can I create a calendar on iCal that shows up separate from my calendar?

    I want to create a new iCalendar for a friend. I have done File --> New Calendar and File --> New Calendar Group but a blank calendar does not appear. My calendar remains on the screen. I click on my Home and Work and then my friend's calendar but my calendar, not a new one, remains on the screen.  In other words, I want the other calendar to be on my computer but I want to be able to bring it up sparaately from my calendar.  How do I get a new calendar to come up?
    Also, my friend has a MacBook Pro and I will want to transfer the calendar to her when it is made. How do I do this?

    In iCal, you select on the left sidebar which calendars you want to be visible. You create a new calendar the way yoou describe it (File>New Calendar) and then in the left sidebar you make sure that this new calendar is the only one that has the checkbox checked. Then this calendar is the only one visible.
    When you want to transfer this calendar to your friend, choose File> export calendar. This will create an .ics file which you can send to your friend by email, dropbox etc. Your frien then just dobbelclick on the .ics file, and the calendar will be saved in iCal.
