Changing calendar in repeated events

Hi,
I am trying to find a way to cross out one of the repeated events without deleting it. This would help me to mark events that did not happen and would have to be rescheduled in future. I also tried creating one separate calendar for cancelled events, but instead of changing only one event in a series of repeated ones, it changes all of them.
I'd appreciate any advise on this - is this possible in iCal? Perhaps there is a separate extension or a plug in for this?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
When you try to alter a single event in a series, you should be asked whether you want to make the change to just this single event - or to all events after that date. Choosing only this event should alter just that one.
This should also work if you try to delete a single event from a series, but you won't be able to move a single event from a series into another calendar - that WILL move the entire series.
There's no way that I know of to 'cross out' the event, but you could change the event title to "CANCELLED <event title>" or something else that suits you.

Changed calendar association, now events are gone!

I have both work and personal calendars on my iCal. For work purposes (i.e. support testing, etc), I changed the calendar association of one of my repeating events and now it's gone! I changed the event from my "Work" calendar to one of my work's gmail calendars. Both the gmail calendar and the Work calendar now are checked, but the events are gone!
I have verified that both calendars ("Work" and gmail account) have "Calendar" sharing checked off under Account Settings. Any advice would be much appreciated. Not sure if it's related, but just prior to this, I enabled a subscription to a work calendar to my gmail account calendar. These work events are showing up normally on the gmail calendar sub of iCal.

Make sure to go to your Calendar app and tap on "Calendars" at the bottom in the middle of the screen. Then check the calendar which you want to add events to.
If this does not help, go to Settings > iCloud and make sure that the Calendar sync option is set to ON.
Finally, restart the iPhone by holding the HOME button for several seconds and turning the device off/on.

Functionality of calendar for repeating events

I have meetings that occur on the same weekday each month, like the 3rd Tuesday. There doesn't seem to be anyway to put that on my calendar. If I ask it to repeat monthly, it does it by date, not day.

Ecosanda,
If you are using iCal/Calendar with Mac OS X, how do I create a repeating event: Apple Support Communities demonstrates how it can be accomplished.
If you are using a device with iOS, it not possible to create an event using those parameters.

Can I switch calendars (Ex. "night shift" to "day shift" cal) with a repeating event, but ONLY for that one event?? It asks "for all events or only this event" if i change the time. But it changes ALL events when i try and switch calendars. Any help??

I have 2 calendars set up for my work schedule, a "night shift" and "day shift" calendar. I've set up repeating events fro Fri/Sat/Sun 3-11pm "night shifts" and Mon/Tues 7am-3pm "day shifts". But lets say for example that I swap shifts and instead of working nights on Saturday like I normally would, I am now working days. I want to change that in my calendar. When I go to change the event, if i change the TIME it asks if i want to change all event or ONLY this event. no problem....just this single event. but when i go to change the event from the "night shift" calendar to the "day shift" calendar, it changes ALL the repeating events, and not just that one single event. can anyone help with this??? am i doing something wrong? is there a way to do this or not with the new iCal program??? i used to do this and never had any problems. Thank you!

You need to follow iPhoto terms since we only know what you tell us
what are you calling folders - in iPhoto folders can not hold photos - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
The basic default view of photo is by event (iPhoto '08 and later)
Exactly what you you trying to do?

Changing Calendar Assignments

Hey all,
This one's been stumping me for a while and it would be great if someone could lend a hand here. Here's the situation, myself and two other coworkers are involved in multiple repeating projects of which we are interchangeably assigned depending on the day. What I've done so far is create a main calendar containing the repeating projects and three other calendars, one each of us. I was hoping to reassign individual instances of repeating projects to different calendars, depending on who is assigned the task. I have not been able to do this at all on my iPod and change the entire repeating event on my iMac when making the attempt there.
Is what I'm trying to do possible?

Hi Bharathwaj,
I never came along any support for the Hijri calendar in SAP NetWeaver Portal. If you want to use it on custom portal sites only you should check this <a href="http://www.altawfeek.com/hijcon.htm">website</a>. There they use JavaScript to the conversion. View the source code of the website and check out the JavaScript functions: <b>GregToIsl</b> and <b>IslToGreg</b>.
You could probably create a template for your custom portal sites using the same logic.
Best Regards,
Martin

How to change calendar setting for one event in a repeating series?

Is there any way to change the calendar setting (color) for a single event in a repeating series without changing the color of all events in that series? It seems one event in a repeating series is linked to all other events in that series even if you change the time and/or date first.
The only workaround I've found is to create a new event Identical to the event in question except with the different calendar, then delete the original event. This would be a lot easier if the OS would ask the user if s/he wants to apply the calendar change to all future events or just this one. Or if there was a way to more easily duplicate a single event, that would also save me a lot of time.
Thanks for any responses.

The assignment of colors to calendars on your iPad is pretty simplistic. You can set a color for each calendar and all events (repeating or single instance) placed in a calendar use the calendar's color; however, you cannot set a color for one instance of a calendar event. The workaround you came up with is similar to the method I use. I have a calendar labeled "Priority Events" (Red) that I use for important instances of standing meetings. Oftentimes I leave the event in question in the calendar and simply place a priority event in the same time slot; it clutters up the calendar a bit but helps me visually.

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.

In repeating events , in the calendar app of Iphone or Ipad,

In repeating events , in the calendar app of Iphone or Ipad, How can I stipulate for egsample: "every second tuesday of the month " or even every last monday of every second month..
These selections work in the Google Calendar. but I cannot find the way to do it in the standard ipad or iphone calendar
all I can find to select are "Monthly , weekly , . I want to be able to select "day of the week " or "day of the month" Thanks ,
Victor

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 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

How can I use custom repeating event in my iPad Air calendar iOS 8.0.2

How can I use custom repeating event in my iPad Air calendar iOS 8.0.2?

Unless something has changed, you can't. The iPad has limited ability to make repeats. However if you make the custom repeats in another program you can send them to or import them into your calendar and the iPad will respect the custom repeat.

Subsequent to Yosemite or updates, my repeating calendar events can not be updated as before. When I update an event (of the repeating event) on my MacBook Pro; its reverts back when I shut it down and come back, and doesn't update other devices?

Has anyone experienced this and does anyone know a fix?

This is incredibly frustrating for me too!
I have a repeated monthly event for a discount at a store that is offered on the first Tuesday of every month. So I have a repeated event taking place on the 1st of every month. In the previous month I reset next month's date from the 1st to whatever date falls on the first Tuesday.
But ever since upgrading to Yosemite, I am experiencing the same problem as the original person who posted. The date saves on my calendar but does not sync to my iCloud. When I reboot the computer, the date reverts back to the 1st.
I'm thankful I don't have any events that needed to be tracked because ALL of my previous changes in the past have reverted back to the 1st of the month. I would have been in the same terrible situation as yaz999 in having to manually change every event in previous months.
Why hasn't this bug been fixed yet???!!!

Changing repeating events

I've been trying to set up a monthly event where the event is at 8am on the 25th, at the latest, but avoids Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and UK public holidays. I thought that the least worst way would be to set up an alarmed monthly event for 8am on the 25th and then go through the calendar and, where necessary, drag the event back a few days.
Two things puzzle me.
1. Only the first of the monthly events shows under "All Future Events". Is this normal, and will the one shown just automatically update to the next event, each month?
2. More seriously, when I drag a future event from, say, the 25th to the 22nd of the month, although it drags - and then indicates ( in the Edit Event dialog) that it will alarm at 0 minutes, and that the event is now dated for the 22nd - come the 22nd it doesn't alarm.
Any thoughts?
Edit: I now have somehow got to the situation where under "All Future Events", my event is shown as to occur on the 25th October (i.e. in three days time), but does not appear in the calendar pane. Help!!

How do you change color of an event in a calendar in ical

how do I change the color of an EVENTt in ical

PLEASE APPLE ADD COLOR TAGGING TO EVENTS!!!
Um, color tagging events has always been a feature of iCal. Go into iCal. In the upper left-hand corner it says "Calendars." Go under "File" and create a new Calendar--iCal will give it a color, but you can change that. If you do this in iCloud, you simply pick "edit" and click on the color, and you've a huge range of choices as to what color you want it to be.
So, now you've got calendars--the family events calendar (named "Family") the "Days Off" calendar and the "Appointments" calendar...each with their own color. You can see them all when you click on "calendars" there on the left-hand side. And, in your case, can create calendars for each person at your work to know when they'll be on or off work. "John's calendar" and "Susan's calendar."
You create an event, and among the choices you have (date, time, alert, notes) is one that says: "Calendar." It will show the default calendar with it's color, but offer you up and down arrows to pick a different calendar (you can change the default calendar, by the way, under preferences). You use those arrows and pick "John" calendar and the "event" of John being on-shift from 10pm-10am on December 12th appears on the calendar in orange. Create an event and give it the "Susan Off" calendar and her time off will appear in green. Give several events the "appointment" calendar and they'll all be blue (or whatever colors you've picked for these things).
Yes?
Now whether you can sync your iCal to Google and match up the colors is a whole other story. But you can--and have for as long as I can remember---color code your iCal events.
