Can I disable "changing a repeating event" dialog in Yosemite calendar?

Can I edit a repeating event without invoking the "You are changing a repeating event" dialogue that allows me to change only one event or all future events? I've tried several modifier keys which haven't suppressed the dialogue.
Ideally a single use rather global change is preferable as the function is often useful.

Update: There is one workaround I found. Click here to view my video demonstrating how this is done.
Explanation: If there are a series of events to select all at once, this can be done as long as they are within a 42 day range and are grouped under one calendar or a series of calendars. All you have to do is go to the month view, make sure the calendars are visible and type ⌘+A. However, any calendars users do not wish to select must be temporarily hidden.

Can I add non regular repeating events in the default Calendar?

Hello,
I've recently been using the Calendar app to try to keep track of my increasingly hectic work schedule. One of my jobs is easy to add as it's on the same day each week, so I can just use the repeating events menu. The other two can be any day of the week, but always the same hours, so if I'm cleaning it's always 8.30 to 14.30, but it can Monday, Wednesday and Thursday this week, Tuesday and Thursday the next, just Monday the next, you get the idea.
What I'd like to do is to be able to add an event called 'cleaning' or 'bar work' to a specific day and have the calendar know that means it needs to block off 8.30 to 14.30 or 20.00 to midnight. It can take me 15 minutes some weeks to enter my work schedule into my phone as it is, and if I'm interrupted while I'm doing it then I have no idea which days I haven't entered yet.
Is this something I can do in the Calendar app? If not, is there another app I can do this in, or at least cut the process down in some way? I've tried looking at other calendar apps, but it doesn't seem to a feature they advertise if they do have it.
Thanks in advance

The iPhone/iPad version of iCal doesn't have this option, but the Mac desktop version does (assuming you use a Mac). Follow the directions below and then sync your device with your Mac and the repeating event will appear in your mobile device.
Open iCal on the desktop. Make a new event. Double click on the event and then click "edit." Change the repeat option to "Custom..." Select frequency as "monthly." Click the bottom radio button that says "on the" to enable you to set which day to repeat on. Close the event info window and then sync your device.
I hope they enable this option in the mobile software soon. It is a glaring omission for a calendar program.
P.S., sorry, I just noticed you didn't include a Mac in your hardware list. I don't know how you'd accomplish this with Windows. Maybe this post will help someone else, though.

Can't seem to customize repeat event for every Tu & Thu with OS 10.9.2 and iCal 7.0

Used to be able to customize events in previous versions of iCal. Now, trying to customize event for every Tue & Thu and even when I click "customize" on repeat event, only options are "daily, weekly, monthly, etc" - not really flexible.
Have tried removing p-list and restarting iCal and computer but no improvement.
Currently using OS 10.9.2 with iCal 7.0.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks,
MJ

MJ,
Where are you clicking on "customize?" Are you using the iPhone?
This is what I am presented with when choosing "repeat" on my iMac:

Why did a new repeating event disappear in my calendar??

I put a new repeating event in my calendar and it showed up, but five minutes later it disappeared. I can see it in the list view, but not on the day view. I have the claendar checked so it should be showing up. How can i stop this from happening?

HT2966 I changed a repeating event and this ****** DELETED 10 events. How to restore this from timemachine backup?

On the iPhone you can change how many times an event is repeated. I changed that number from 10 to 11 and it automatically deleted all my 10 events and replaced the valuable notes with *nothing*.
I do daily backups with timemachine, but cant seem to find a way to restore the events - since I already made a lot of changes today.
next question: is there an ical alternative, which is actually safe to use for business?

For anyone else that may be in a similar situation, I can confirm that this does actually work.
I am unsure why I was not able to mount the original sparseimage that I copied to the USB drive before, but I have gone through the entire process again and I could successfully mount the TM sparseimage onto my MacBook and restore files from within it using TimeMachine to my Mac.
This is a Disaster Recovery solution only needed for if both my NAS and Macbook get stolen or damaged so I am happy with this solution for now.
I will try the restore process several more times from my monthly backups to reassure myself that the first failure to mount the sparse image was an anomaly.
This is the process that I have tested:
Configure MacBook to backup to TimeMachine Service running on QNAP NAS device.
Perform regular backup of QNAP NAS Device (Linux) including the TimeMachine backup data to an external USB drive with encryption enabled and store this device safely off-site
In time of loss of both NAS and MacBook, Time Machine data can be recovered to another Mac without the need of the NAS using the following process:
Mount the external drive containing the backup of the NAS filesystem (ext4) which is encrypted onto a Linux host so it is readable - use the cryptsetup luksOpen options to access the encrypted filesystem then mount it.
Mount a n empty HFS+ formatted USB drive on the Linux host
Use Rsync to copy the sparsebundle from the external NAS drive backup disk to the root of the USB Drive
Insert the HFS+ formatted USB containing the sparesbundle into the Mac's USB port
Double click the sparsebundle to mount it onto the Mac as a Volume
Using Alt button and the TimeMachine icon, select use alternative backup disk and you should see the TM backup in the sparsebundle
Enter TimeMachine and you should be able to restore any/all files
Hope that helps someone else and thanks to LaPastenague for pointing me in the direction of some of the answers I needed.

Cannot delete or change a repeating event in iCal

I have a weekly recurring event. When I try to change it (e.g., change the time), it appears to make the change, but when I get out of iCal and back in again, the change has not been made -- the recurring event is the same as before.

Hi David,
It didnt work.
I am working on Visual Composer. Developing iViews and deploying them in Enterprise Portal. I dont see any of the models under the T-Codes sm41, sm04 in BI.
I am wondering can we access the iViews created in Visual Composer, in BI?
The problem of locked objects i am getting is in Visual Composer, not in BI. I may not understand the relation between BI and Visual Composer iViews/Models.
But please correct me if i am wrong.

How can I disable/change the keystroke for accessing "Quick Find"?

Using / , ' or " brings up the "Quick Find" menu, but this interferes with normal usage of the keyboard. I would like to either disable or change the default keystroke to bring up "Quick Find" so that I can type normally.

How can you tell who created an event on a shared calendar?

I allow delegates access to my "Office Calendar" and they have write rights. I'd like to be able to tell who created an event.
Is that not possible?
I've looked all over the event in "Get Info" & the Inspector.
Thanks

I don't think this is possible with iCal, but I know that is definitely possible with BusyCal.

Siri adds events/appts to my "gmail calendar". How can I get her to add events to my icloud calendars instead?

As title says, when I tell Siri to schedule an appt for June 13th, she does it on my "gmail calendar". I don't even use that calendar. I want her to schedule stuff on my iCloud calendars so it syncs with my macbook.

Try going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and set this to your iCloud calendar.

Repeated events duplicate in iCal if modified on iOS

I'm posting a more generalized version of this question (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2603361&tstart=0); encountering the same issue on an iPod Touch syncing over USB would seem to indicate that neither MobileMe nor anything specific to an iPhone is at fault. My apologies if this is in violation of this forum's rules of etiquette.
Here's how I phrased it on the Feedback page, where I submitted a bug report regarding this issue:
If a repeating event is created in Calendar on iPod Touch (4.2.1), then synced to iCal using iTunes (USB cable sync, rather than MobileMe), then edited on the iPod Touch (i.e. the date or time is changed for all future events), then the iPod Touch is synced again, this will result in two repeating events in iCal on the Mac: one that reflects the changed version of the event, and one that is the original version of the event, each following their own repeating schedule. Please advise as to possible solutions.
Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated. She's got an iMac mid-2008 running 10.5.8, iCal 3.0.8, iTunes 10.1.1, and her iPod Touch is a fourth-gen running 4.2.1. She's quite angry about this issue, and I fear she's about to give up on Apple entirely as a result.

Am facing the same issue with an iPad; but this is not the first time I've seen this happen. It has also happened when syncing from iCal to a Blackberry Curve via Blackberry Desktop Manager. Any repeated events - and not just from the iOS side of things - ANY repeated events cause this to happen.
iCal has the correct number of events and times, but as soon as you sync to another device, it becomes unusable. My wife runs a cleaning business where she constantly has to rearrange schedules for repeating customers. As soon as she does it once, she's got 2 copies of the same. Change the event twice, and suddenly she has 4 copies.
Please help.

Repeating event sync

I, and a couple other folks I know, have encountered a problem where changes to repeating events made on an iDevice running ios 6.x do not sync properly with iCloud and thus other devices or Macs.
If I edit a single instance of a repeating event on my iPhone 4S or iPad Mini to, say, change the time by an hour for that instance only, it show up properly on the iDevice on which I made the change, but the change never appears in iCloud and thus other devices.
If I edit all future instances of a repeating event on my phone or iPad to change the time by an hour for all future instances, it creates future instances at the new time, but never deletes the originals, so I end up with duplicated events in iCloud and thus on other devices.
If I enter or edit repeating events in iCloud or on my Mac, everything syncs properly across all devices.
I have tried cycling Calendar sync off/on on ios 6 settings and I have tried completely deleting and then signing back into my icloud account on the ios devices with no change in behavior.
I'm certain this problem did not arise until ios 6. I have found several forum references to this problem with respect to Google Calendar syncing, but haven't found references to iCloud syncing.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? I'm wondering if it is related to the Exchange sync bug that was introduced in ios 6. Regardless, it's making a mess of my workflow to not be able to make changes to repeating events on my iPhone or iPad. Changes to all non-repeating events sync fine.
Rick

@Soonsay,
Is the repeating event by any chance an all-day event? If so, how did you specify when it ends? I've noticed this problem with all-day events, but it doesn't occur for all repeating all-day events. I once opened an all-day event in iCal and specified that it should repeat ending on a certain day. This displayed properly on the Mac, but included the day after the ending-on day on the iPhone.

Calendar has multiple copies of repeating events

This is just ridiculous. Just about any repeating event fills up the calendar with multiple copies of itself. I'm rapidly losing faith in the calendar's usefulness. This doesn't seem to be a problem with items that existed before I upgraded to iOS4.
Can anyone tell me what is happening? I've given up syncing the phone with MobileMe as there seems to a limit of 6 calendars.
My Apple experience is going sour - hope someone can help.

Suddenly on Lion on my new MBA, calendars would start duplicating themselves, every few seconds. I might have a calendar on MobileMe called "Cal1", and it and its events would start mulitplying, so on a Monday where it said "Eat Breakfast" (silly example), I would get 2 of them - then a few seconds later 3 of them (with a whole new calendar also called "Cal1"), and it just kept on growing. I went to iCal, Preferences, Accounts, and I could see them adding themselves in there too, faster than I could delete them.
This was only on my MBA. I am also syncing two other Macs and and iPhone, and they were fine, as was the web-based calendar at MobileMe.
I read around the Net and it was not helping, but I went right back to basics and deleted the plist file for iCal. That stopped it immediately, and over the last few days it's been fine.
Here's how:
I turned off my wireless Internet connection (and the calendars stopped replicating);
I went into my Library folder (which in Lion, which now hides that folder, means that in Finder I went to the Go menu, then "Go to Folder" and typed in "~/Library", and it then appears in Finder under your "User Folder");
in Library, open the Preferences folder;
I found everything in there which said "iCal" in it, and moved them all to some other folder (on the Desktop, for example), in case I needed to put them back later; i.e. they were saved, but effectively deleted from Preferences.
After that, iCal settled right down, and behaved totally normally.
I probably didn't need to delete that many files, but the ones I found were:
com.apple.iCal.plist
com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
com.apple.iCal.Alarm.plist
other apparently "temporary" files like com.apple.iCal.helper.ED60A...plist
and most of these had associated ".lockfile" files (a new[?] thing in Lion) which I read about and then also deleted;
I did not delete com.apple.iCal.help.
Upon restarting iCal and/or re-syncing it, all of these files reappeared immediately, all of my calendars were back (they're stored somewhere else and were ready to go, on my computer), and everthing was cool.
I hate to think how it would have gone had I not been a bit(?) geeky.
