How do I create a recurring event for the second Monday of every month?

I want to create a recurring event. It's an event that occurs the second and fourth monday of every month. I'd be happy to split this into two events if need be. The Custom repeat setting allows me to make the event occur every two Mondays. But some months have 5 weeks, so I need exactly, the second monday of every month.
(It's a bit annoying that things like this are so hard to do on iCal when MS Outlook does them so easily!!!)

Hi,
You can do this using the custom repeat in iCal. You'll need two events to cover the second and fourth Mondays.
Create the event on the second Monday of the month. In Repeat select Custom... > Frequency: Monthly > On the: second Monday.
Do the same for the Fourth Monday.
Best wishes

  • How do I create a calendar event for the first Sunday of every moth?

    Trying to create an event on my iPhone 4 (iOS 5) calendar that repeats on the first Sunday of every month.  Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks

    It would be nice, but don't hold your breath. But look at 3rd party calendar apps such as Week Cal or Pocket Informant.

  • How can I enter an event for the first Monday of every month?

    I used to have a Custom choice that allowed me to select day or date for repeat. Where is it?

    I don't believe there is such a custom repeat option with the iPhone's Calendar app, but if you are syncing calendar events with a supported calendar app on your computer or syncing calendar events over the air with an email account that supports it with an option to create such a custom repeating event with the online calendar, set up the custom repeating event there.

  • How do I set a recurring event for the last day of the month on iphone 4s calendar?

    I want to set a recurring event for the last day of every month - regardless of the date/number of days in the month. I'd prefer not to have to use an app to do this.

  • How do I set a calendar reminder for the first Tuesday of every month?

    I have recurring meetings that happen on different dates. i.e. 1st Tuesday, 2nd Monday etc.
    Is there a way to set this up in the calendar?

    I found an App that solved my problem called "Calendar Tools"
    It is a plug in that allows you to have custom repeat rules.
    Check it out!

  • How do I set up a rpeating monthly meeting in the calendar APP which came with the phone for the first Monday of every month?

    You will have to use program that allows that kind of appointment/meeting set up - outlook/calendars. And then sync to your phone.

  • 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.

  • How do I create a PDF sized for the viewport of an iPhone (for iBooks)?

    I tried generating PDFs from HTML, setting
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=320, initial-scale=2.3, user-scalable=no" />
    as well as trying to set fixed widths on the elements containing text, but no matter what, the PDF shows in zoomed out view in iBooks, making reading difficult on an iPhone. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    You can do this using the custom repeat in iCal. You'll need two events to cover the second and fourth Mondays.
    Create the event on the second Monday of the month. In Repeat select Custom... > Frequency: Monthly > On the: second Monday.
    Do the same for the Fourth Monday.

  • How do I set a reminder for the last day of every month

    Have I missed something? But how do you set a reminder for the last day of every month to recurr indefinatley in iOS6? Sorry if this is really simple but I just can't seem to work it out. Any help gratefully received.

    Hey Mattye88 not sure if you have seen but actully you can do this, but for some reason you have to use Siri.  If you bring up Siri and say "set a reminder ever 4 weeks from next wednesday to check the gas meter" it will set one and it will work just fine, I have reminders to water a Bonsai every three days and it works fine it just shows as custom repeat on the user interface.  Alas it seems you can not use Siri to set one for the end of the month though which is why I am in this threed.  Still hope it helps you to know how to sort this problem atleast.

  • How to get the date for the first monday of each month

    Dear Members,
    How to get the date for the first monday of each month.

    Use IW format - it will make solution NLS independent. And all you need is truncate 7<sup>th</sup> day of each month using IW:
    select  sysdate current_date,
            trunc(trunc(sysdate,'mm') + 6,'iw') first_monday_the_month
      from  dual
    CURRENT_D FIRST_MON

                connect by level <= 12

    Although this isn't currently possible in the iOS Calendar app, go to iCloud.com (not on your iPad, but on a computer browser like Safari or Firefox) and log in.  There, you can add an event in Calendar and have the options to make it repeat however you want.

  • Anyway to set an event for the fifth Monday of the month?

    I have an event that happens rarely. Is there anyway to set an event for the fifth Monday of the month?

    Hi Kevin,
    This should be similar to behaviour in my response to this thread, but iCal seems a bit off on this one. If you attempt to set an event on the 5th Monday iCal adds events to the first Monday on the month after if the month only has four weeks. I'd say this is a bug in iCal.
    Try the script below which should add an event to the 5th Monday only to see what I mean:
    (Copy blue text into Script Editor (Applications > Applescript > Script Editor) , press Run and follow prompts.)
    tell application "iCal"
    set myCal to first calendar whose title is (item 1 of (choose from list (title of (every calendar) as list) with prompt "Choose calendar"))
    set myName to text returned of (display dialog "What is the event's name?" default answer "5th Monday of month?")
    set myStart to my date "Monday, January 30, 2006 10:00:00"
    set myEnd to myStart + 1 * hours
    make new event at the end of events of myCal with properties {summary:myName, start date:myStart, end date:myEnd, recurrence:"FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=5MO"}
    end tell

  • How do i create a new Event in the new Photos?

    I have imported some photos into my new Photos library but unlike before they don't show up as an Event. How do i create a new Event and move them into this Event?

    You don't.  Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
    When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
    There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
    When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N.  Name it as desired.  It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
    When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
    The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
    Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.
