How do I have a calendar event schedule to the day rather than date - like the third Tuesday instead of the 17th?

I'm trying to schedule a regular event on the third Tuesday of every month, and can't seem to find a way to do that.

Unfortuneately, there's no way to do that directly on iOS Calendar, which has fairly limited functionality.  It can be done on computer calendar apps such as iCal or Outlook and synced to your Calendar on the phone.

  • Exiting Sharepoint Calendar event back to same time rather than today

    I'm in a Sharepoint 2013 online Calendar using Calendar View. I navigate to an event in the past (or future) and open it. I click Close. Instead of returning to the day/week/month I was at before opening the event, I am returned to today's date. I then have
    to navigate back to the time of the event.
    Is there any way of exiting the event popup back to the calendar date of the event, rather than today?

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want to navigate to the correspond date after closing an event in the past (or future) of a Calendar.
    When we close an event in the past (or future) of a Calendar, it will refresh the page, by default, navigate to the current date.
    I recommend you that use New Event, View Event, Edit Event to add, view, Edit Event in calendar list. Then you will open the form in a dialog, when you close the dialog, it will still stay at the past (or future) date.

  • Is it possible to set up repeating calendar events by day rather than date?

    I attend several classic motorcycle shows and car shows locally. Some occur every first Wednesday of the month, some occur on the last Saturday of every month, and some are on the third Thursday of every month. Entering them every month is slow and I would like to see if there's a way of programming repeating events like this by the day of the week. Right now, if I select to repeat, let's say, a bike show that is coming up on Wednesday the 6th, I can't set it to occur every first Wednesday of the month, only on the 6th of every month, but of course, the first Wednesday of every month is not always the 6th of the month. I am hoping the fuzzy logic programming to do this is already here. (fingers crossed)

    Found a workaround...in the desktop calendar app you can do this, it just means waiting until you get home to make the event repeat on certain days of a certain week of the month. So for now, I can enter events in the phone as I find out about them when I am out of the house, and when I get home and sync the phone i can then make the event repeat as I want. It's a bit of a pain, but at least it will work.
    UNLESS the event occurs on the FIFTH such day in a month. Calendar only supports custom events for FOUR weeks.

  • How can I organize events in iMovie by subject, rather than date or storage device?

    iMovie wants to organize events by either date or storage device.  I would like to organize them by subject, regardless of date.  Can this be done?  And how?  Thanks.

    You can do this for Projects, but not for Events.
    For organizing clips in Events, you might want to consider the Keyword feature, but it is not exactly what you are asking for.
    Here is a video of the Keyword feature in iMovie 08. If you have iMovie 09 or 11, the basics are the same, but the feature has been enhanced. See Help for details.

    How can I change my safari preferences to save a file rather than it downloading

    I can't be sure, but what probably happens is that the page doesn't give you a link to a downloadable file, but a button which activates a script. There's nothing you can do about that, because you don't control the script.
    it just downloads the transcripts not the document.
    It sounds like the downloaded file does not open or execute as it's supposed to (which, for instance, would happen if what you downloaded was a Java application, but you didn't have Java installed).
    If you are allowed to, give us the URL and we'll have a look. Also, you should add what version of Mac OS X and of Safari you are using, and you should correct your profile (which says "Mac Pro" -- this forum is for the MacBook Pro, which is a different computer from the Mac Pro).

  • I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

    I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

    Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
    The calendar however,  is not easy to use.
    The typing function on the phone has  become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

  • How do I move google calendar events to iCal?

    how do I move google calendar events to iCal?

    ab1268,
    I'm trying to do this very thing.  I have multiple google calendars set up (one for each kid, my husband etc.).  I want to move to iCal exclusively.  Based on your note above, should I export each individual calendar within ical.  Remove each from the iCal account and then reimport then into ical?  I suppose the risk is low b/c the data still exists in google.
    Please advise - I would hate to misstep.  Very new to the apple world (aside from iphone / ipad).
    Thanks!

  • How can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

    how can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

    To set up CalDAV support for Google Calendar in Apple's iCal, follow these steps:
    Open Apple iCal, go to Preferences and then the Accounts tab.
    Click on the + button to add an account.
    In the box that pops up, enter a description for the account and your Google Account username and password.
    Under Server Options, add the following URL:
    https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user//www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user
    Replace '[email protected]' with the email address that you use to log in to Calendar. Make sure to include the '@domain.com' portion (which is @gmail.com for Gmail users) in this section.
    DO NOT substitute your username for 'user' at the end of the URL.
    Leave the Use Kerberos v5 for authentication option unchecked.
    Click Add.
    Under the Delegation tab, select the calendars you'd like to add to iCal by checking the boxes next to them. You may need to hit refresh to get the latest list of calendars.
    Add your email address to your Address Book card by selecting Add Email. You'll be prompted to add your email address only if your address is not already in your Address Book.
    You won't be able to invite or email guests to Google Calendar events within iCal if your address is not in your Address Book.
    Your Google Calendar will now appear in iCal's list of calendars, and changes you make to your Google Calendar in iCal will be reflected when you sign in to Google Calendar.
    Event information will automatically refresh every five minutes. You can change this interval by opening the iCal > Preferences > Accounts menu and selecting a new refresh interval under the 'Refresh calendars' drop-down. Keep in mind you can also force a refresh by selecting a calendar and pressing the Apple and R keys at the same time.
    Calendars that are checked but disabled have already been added to iCal - you can remove them from within iCal.

  • How do I set up calendar events that will be for another time zone? My events shift once I travel

    How do I set up calendar events that will be for another time zone? My events shift once I travel. The same is true when I am traveling and in another time zone, how do I best set up my events so they are in the correct time slot upon my return?

    Basically, if your client does not have a Mac then don't use iWeb to create the site. iWeb is Mac only and if a client wishes to make alterations, then they need the domain file.
    If your client needs to update on a weekly basis, then why not consider using one of the online website creation packages where you can log in from any Mac or PC. This would be simpler and there are lots out there - Microsoft Office Live or Google or something like http://www.wix.com where you can create a site and use a domain name with it.
    Look at the alternatives before using iWeb.

  • How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone?

    How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone? It allows me to "edit" the event but not to totally delete it. Or at least I can't seem to find a "delete" option anywhere!

    Did you create the event somewhere else?  A lot of time when u create it on lets say PC or mac, you wont be able to edit it unless its from the same device. 
    Its also possible its created under a mail account.  I would suggest making all your events via icloud, then u should be able to edit it on all platforms regardless on which device made the event.
