Exceptions in recurring events

I have a recurring appointment every Monday. When a Monday is a holiday how can
I have the entry say there is no meeting. So I'm looking for a way to have exceptions
in recurring events. Thanks.
Pat

Hi Pat,
You can remove instances of recurring events by selecting the one you want removed and pressing the Delete button. iCal will confirm if you want that instance removed or all future ones.
Best wishes

My calendar on my iPhone 4 erases all data over a month old except for recurring events. How Do I get it to keep the info and not erase calendar events?

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.

Cellphone calendar won't delete recurring events

I have an LG Cosmos 2, and lately it won't let me delete calendar events that are recurring events. When I try to, a message appears that says "can't insert this exception" when I choose "just this event". It has only started doing this recently, and I'm doing nothing different. What's causing this?

Thank you for the information, tthompson515!
Are you able to delete normal events that are not recurring? If this issue persists, we may need to backup the phone and complete a factory reset. Here is how: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/31087/
Contacts can be backed up with Backup Assistant.

ICloud 2.0 PC & Outlook Custom Recurring Events Problem

I write this post after a couple weeks and many hours of trying to fully sync my calendar in Outlook 2010 with iCloud. I'm using a Windows 7 PC and the latest iCloud 2.0 control panel. I have encountered multiple issues and quirks.
For example, I discovered that when merging an existing Outlook primary calendar that contains recurring events to the Cloud, major problems occur. The control panel "time remaining" for Outloook Setup steadily increases past 30 minutes and the progress bar stalls. It then abruptly stops after about 10 minutes, reporting that Outlook is successfully setup. But only a portion of my 2600 events have been copied to the Cloud. Other times, the control panel simply crashes, citing a CalDav error.
I then changed my strategy by merging an Outlook calendar containing only single occurring events. That works fine. Then I recreated the recurring events on icloud.com and they synced with Outlook fine...with the notable exception of custom recurring events.
I've been able to work through all the bugs until this one.You can easily illustrate this for yourself by isolating the flaw. Create a new calendar in the Cloud so that it appears in Outlook (or vice versa). Then create just a single custom recurring event in the Cloud, like MLK's birthday. This example recurs every third Monday in January of each year.
However, when this event syncs to Outlook, it does not carry over the custom pattern. It instead recurs on the same day each year. In my example, this was January 21 because that happened to be the date of MLK's birthday in 2008, the year that I tried creating it in. So Outlook showed MLK's birthday occurring on a Saturday (January 21) in 2012.
If you instead create the same event in Outlook (i.e. third Monday of each January), it syncs to the Cloud with the proper custom recurring pattern. That's great, except if you every need to "Sign Out" in your iCloud control panel and sign back in, the custom recurring pattern will not be maintained when the Cloud events are transferred back into Outlook.
I believe this singular flaw is behind a LOT of people's problems. I've read through countless posts of people becoming frustrated with the inability to correctly sync iCloud and Outlook. Very often, people are specific about recurring events being involved. But most everyone doesn't know WHY they're having problems.
Like many of you, I have spent many hours experimenting and diagnosing. I have been unable to resolve this fundamental problem, which will always prevent me from being able to rely on iCloud for my calendar needs. Recurring events, including those with custom patterns, are essential.
Anyone have insight or a fix to this?

Thanks mcauble, in fact it's woks. I spent 2 hours and 80.-€ withe the Microsoft helpdesk concerning my outgoing message on Outlook that are blocked when the icloud add-in is installed.
Back to the iCloud control panel 1.1 solved the problem.
Window 7, MS Office 2010
Thanks to you!
(And none congratulation to the Apple developper that are no tested the 2.0 version before! )

Recurring Events not gets all data in a given month in C#

Help me about this. I cannot get all the records of recurring events in Calendar. Even using <Month> ,<Year>. it doesn't give the all records. that happens when adding no end date of recurrence.
ex. i want to filter all records on the 10-01-2018 by its month but it appears like in different result range of date. cause i've tried creating an event in calendar with recurrence of Daily weekday=true and no end date. then i don't why it doesn't give the
correct result and just tried this date as sample.
here's the image of what trying to get:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/621163
here's the data showing when getting it.

Here's the code:
var list = xWeb.Lists.TryGetList("TestCalendar");
var oQueryBookings = new SPQuery();
oQueryBookings.CalendarDate = new DateTime(2018,10 ,1);
oQueryBookings.ExpandRecurrence = true;
SPListItemCollection oCollBookings = null;

" </Where> " ;
oQueryBookings.Query = strQuery;
oCollBookings = list.GetItems(oQueryBookings);
if (oCollBookings.Count > 0)
DataTable objDatatable = new DataTable();
objDatatable = oCollBookings.GetDataTable();

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to get all the recurring events within a specific month using C#.
Here is working code demo about getting recurring events by month for your reference:
public static void getRecurringEvents()
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sp"))
using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.ExpandRecurrence = true;
query.Query = "<Where><DateRangesOverlap><FieldRef Name=\"EventDate\" /><FieldRef Name=\"EndDate\" />" +
"<FieldRef Name=\"RecurrenceID\" /><Value Type=\"DateTime\">" +
"<Month />" +
"</Value></DateRangesOverlap></Where>";
//get the events in the specific months
query.CalendarDate = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1);
SPListItemCollection calendarItems = web.GetList("/Lists/Calendar1").GetItems(query);
foreach (SPListItem item in calendarItems)
Console.WriteLine(item["Title"] + ": starts "
+ item["EventDate"].ToString() + " and ends "
+ item["EndDate"].ToString());
It will return all the recurring events of last month:

How can I get all of my calendars and recurring events to synch via iCloud with my iPad2?

Not all of my recurring events sych via the iCloud with my Mac and IOS devices - most specifically my iPad2. For example, my anniversary appears on my Mac and my iPhone, but not on my iPad2.
I notice that when I click on "Calendars" when the iCal app is open in my iPhone I get 2 lists of calendars - one that is labled "On my iphone" and the other that is labled "iCloud". The same two lists appear in the iCal app on my Mac. But on my iPad2 the only list that appears is "iCloud".
Can anyone help with this issue?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Contacts aren't backed up and therefore aren't restored from a back up either. They are synced with the cloud, so after you have restored your device you should be able to sign back into your account and turn syncing back on again. If you need to check if your contacts are in the cloud, go to iCloud.com on a computer.

How do i get calendar syncing recurring events from outlook to iphone to handle daylight saving time

When I sync recurring events of my PC Outlook on to the iPhone calendar they appear one hour later during summer i.e. between Mar 26th and October 27. I have a weekly thing every wednesday at 8pm that appears at 9pm in summer - so outlook seems to be sending the info in UTC time but the IPhone isn't compensating for summer time.

What do you mean "correctly". If I enter a recurring (weekly) event in Outlook at say 8pm every Monday from February till December, then Outlook calendar propagates it at 8pm every Monday from February till December, and I can see it on each Monday regardless of whether it's standard time or summer time. However when I sync with the iPhone calendar through iTunes it transmits just the start date/time and end date, and the iPhone then recreates the series of events (provable because it creates occurences that I have deleted on Outlook). However it propagates the UTC time at the start date, and gets confused by the change to Summer Time in March (and Ocotber). The iphone "corrects" the (UTC) time for Summer Time so it starts at 8pm, all summer the event appears at 7pm, and goes back to 8 in November. I have tested across both boundaries - if a recurrence starts in summer time at 8pm then from November it gets an hour later, 9pm. And you can't solve it by turning off Local Time handling on the iPhone because then all individual events through the summer are an hour out. This is a bug.
Workaround - enter separate recurrent events for each time period, so in a calendar year 3 events: Jan-end March, April-end October, Nov-Dec

How do I add a recurring event to repeat on the fifth recurring day of the month, for example, an event that only happen on the fifth Sunday of the month for those months that have a fifth Sunday?

Why is ical adding multiple alerts to my recurring events?

I have searched for this issue in the support topics but can only find very old threads with links to apps that do not work. My recurring events in ical are all of a sudden getting many many alerts added to them. Every once in while I try deleting the event and creating a new one, or deleting the extra alerts for all future events and YET THEY KEEP COMING BACK. It's super annoying when I am getting 10 reminders for one event and have to clear each one of them. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks Malcolm.I'm afraid this issue started for me after updating to iOS6!

Outlook recurring events not showing in calendar

Syncing my iPhone to MS Exchange.
I see in Outlook 2010 calendars, all the recurring events I have.
In particular, I see some birthdays in the current week, but on my iPhone 4s, running IOS 5.1, I only see a couple.
More explicitly, there are 2 birthdays on the day that I am writing this question, only one shows on the iPhone.
Also, one for tomorrow does not show, nor does an anniversary 2 days after that.
There is no obvious reason for some to show and others to not show.
Additionally, birthdays do not show up in 'Day' view, only in 'List' and 'Month' view.
I have tried deleting my Exchange account and re-adding it.
I have changed all birthdays from 'Private' to 'Normal' confidentiality
I have tried editing events which don't show on the iPhone, in an attempt to make them appear.
I can see appointments I create on the iPhone, in Outlook within seconds.
I delete a test appointment in Outlook and it will disappear on the iPhone.
I am at a loss.
An explanation, or preferably, a fix, would be appreciated.
EDIT:
I found that 'recurring events which are ALL Day Events' do not show on the iPhone.
However, I can search for the event and find it, even though it does not display!

Yes, all of my recurring events that do sync were created years ago in Outlook and I had no problem syncing them to my Blackberry Bold way back when. Initially when I got my iphone 4, everything synced both ways and then this year I got an iPad and intitally everything synced with it via iTunes/outlook with no problem. I've only noticed this problem within the last month or so and it drove me crazy. I reset both my ios devices but I refuse to uninstall and reinstall Outlook or iTunes. I've seen tons of posts on here that say it afffects the cloud, exchange servers and itunes so it's not just us. I've sent feedback to Apple and received no response. Others have too. Apple is aware of it and doesn't have a clue what to do about it. It now affects other events for me so I'm thinking maybe it has to do with default reminders and other things between Outlook and the ios devices. Maybe and update to iTunes or ios6 will change that, who knows. I still love my iPhone and would't go back to Blackberry; it's just way to slow for me.

Changes made to recurrent events in ical and/or iphone 4 will not sync since upgrading phone to iOS 5. I have an old macbook pro and it is running snow leopard OS 10.6.8. I have a minimum of 40 recurring events per week, several of which change.

since upgrading phone to iOS 5. I have an old macbook pro and it is running snow leopard OS 10.6.8. I have a minimum of 40 recurring events per week, several of which change. I use the information to schedule future appointments based on those changes and it's causeing a major problem to not have the changes sync. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Did you try to replace the calendar info on the phone with the one on your Mac? You can find this option in iTunes/Info pane, Advanced section.

HT2513 Problem Creating Recurring Events in iCal.

Hello.
I'm having some issues creating a recurring event in one of my iCoud Calendars on iCal.
If I create a new event then go in and change the recurrance, time, and name it stays in my iCal for a few seconds then defaults back to a basic appointment with no name, time, or recurence. I then need to go back into the event and reprogram everything. It will then save the changes.
Its a little annoying as I need to reprogram the even and save it twice.
Has anyone had this problems, and could offer assistance?
Thank You!

The same thing happened to me! I'm in another discussion thread about this and it seems many people have the same problem and it all started about a week ago

In iCal 8.0, how do I change a single event of a recurring event?

I am using Yosemite. I have a recurring monthly event for Payroll on the 25th. But, when the 25th falls on a weekend, I change it to the previous Friday.
To make this change, I drag the recurring event to that Friday. A popup says it will change all recurring events to that date.
How do I just change a single event and leave the future recurring events as is?

Without seeing your page, this seems less like a template problem and more of a design strategy problem.
You should be building flexible pages that can handle increased content, text-sizes, image sizes, etc...
CSS height property is a restriction in all but IE browsers. Either remove height property from your content areas or consider using a more flexible min-height.

Deleting a recurring event in iCal

Situation; iphone 5 recurring event wont delete. looking at same calendar on a synced PC (work) the event is not there at all.
If you are having trouble deleting a recurring event in iCal try this:
on your iphone change the event "alert" or "show as" setting on one of the events in the future. The event that wasn't showing on the PC outlook calendar magically shows up now. delete it from the PC by opening it and choosing the X delete for all occurances (if its asks).
Now open the event in iCal and you should see the Accept Maybe Decline option at the bottom - choose decline. you may have to do this on several dates, but that should delete the event.
Hope this helps.

pedfogog,
... or whoever may find this post in need of assistance as I was.
I just had this same problem and successfully deleted ALL event (past and future)instances by :
1. Click on any instance of the event in the calendar
2. Select "Delete" from the iCal toolbar "Edit" menu.
3. The iCal propmt asked me to choose to delete all or just the one instance.
4. Naturally, select to "Delete all occurrences"
I am running OS 10.6.8 iCal 4.0.4
