How to repeat event every hour never end?

How to repeat an event every hour and never end?
Am I crazy for doing this? Well Harvard Business School wrote an excellent article about time management. 1. Make list in the morning. 2. Refocus every hour. 3. Review list at end of day. It's been working great when I'm alerted every hour.
I want to make an event in iCal that goes on indefinitely and alerts me every hour. I have not been able to get this to work. I can make it work for one day but it stops after one day even when I have it set to go from today to a year from now. I also have it set to repeat "Everyday" and end "Never".
There seems to be some sort of bug because I set 24 alarms in sequence (12AM, 1AM, 2AM, 3AM etc...) but the hours have all become mixed up. It's now (3PM, 2PM. 8AM, 11AM...?).
Mac OS X version 10.5.7, Build 9J61

I will give your suggested a try. It might work splitting it up, but I would like it for at least all waking hours. Here's what I'm trying to do:

In actuality, if I go to Walmart and replace my (long since past) Casio watch that can be set to beep every hour I'll likely have my solution. But also I like the visual reminder to Refocus that I could get from iCal. Thanks

How to repeat event as first wednesday of month?

How do I set up a repeating event on same day of week each month?

Hi Gabriel,
In iCal edit your event. In repeat select 'custom'. There select 'Yearly' from the frequency option. Set the options to be every 1 years in June on the last Saturday.

Repeating Events by hour

Is it possible to somehow make events repeat each hour? The highest frequency I see in the drop-down is "daily." Not really interested in creating 24 different events by hand... or using Cron either. Is there any trick to get events to repeat hourly?

I FIGURED IT OUT! I exported the calendar to an .ics text file and played with the events. The problem was caused when no timezone or the time setting of "Floating" was applied to repeating events, rather than "America/Denver". It did not cause problems for the non-repeating events. I added the timezone setting (specifically DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver: and DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:) to each repeating event in the .ics text file, imported it into iCal on my Mac, synced to my iPhone, and BINGO, the times were no longer by an hour off.
Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply, forum and folks!

Backup has been repeating cycle for hours on end!

Hi,
Backing up "Migrated iDisk" has been acting crazy! It is almost 9:30pm, and it has been backing up repeatedly since about 5:30pm this afternoon. This has been happening for a few weeks. I ended up having to cancel that part of the backup plan a couple of times, but nothing's gotten backed up to the iDisk since mid-May! It appears that I have plenty of space to backup stuff to, so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
The other backup plans seem to be working fine.
Please help!
Thanks,
Kcat

Thank you for responding!
I noticed the snafu in .Mac earlier this week. Thanks for confirming that you saw it, too! Maybe it could be related as you mention? The odd part is after four hours of repeating cycle, and right after I posted for assistance, that one section (I was only running that one section at that point) of backup to Migrated iDisk FINALLY quit on its own. It was stressful to see it take that long and to have to keep my Mac awake during that time.
Any suggestions as to why it would take so long or what to do if it does?
Thanks,
Kcat

Repeat events as every week, every 2 weeks, (what about every 3 weeks)

How can I get the Calendar app to let me repeat events every 3 or 4 weeks? I could do this on my "Palm One Tungsten T5 years ago!
Does anyone have a calendar program that would let me do it on a Window 7 PC?
Prefer it on the iPad or iPod touch
Thanks for any help.

This is very frustrating to me also. I have a Palm Pilot with DateBk which could do this 5 years ago. It is difficult to step back when then technology is stepping forward in so many aspects. I can custom repeat appointment through my Exchange account or Hotmail calendars and they will show up just fine on the iPad, but I would like to push the appointment back the other way. I am trying to do less with computer.
I do have Pocket Informant HD but then you have to sync it manually with Outlook and not Exchange and I still can't sync it OTA with Hotmail calendars. The default calendar is great if it could just catch up on some other fronts like the repeat function.

Problem with published cal:repeating event Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun every 3 weeks

I have an event that repeats thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday every three weeks. I can set it up by changing my week to start on Monday. It is correct in iCal and on me.com.
Subscribers to the calendar however see the calendar wrong. They see a repeating event every Sunday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
So for this week I see the event on 7/15, 7/16, 7/17, 7/18/10.
But subscribers see it on 7/11, 7/15, 7/16, 7/17/10. So Sunday is always wrong.
Any idea how to fix this? It used to work prior to either 10.6.4 or iOS 4 or iPhone 4 screwed up my calendars. I’ve restored them but this is the only thing still broken.
Thanks!

Greetings,
Any idea how to fix this? It used to work prior to either 10.6.4 or iOS 4 or iPhone 4 screwed up my calendars. I’ve restored them but this is the only thing still broken.
Updates do not inherently break calendars. They can uncover pre-existing data corruption in a database which is why issues can be triggered by updates. Think of an update as getting your car washed. If the car's paint is already chipped or flaking, paint is going to come off when it goes through the wash. I'm glad you had backups and were able to restore your calendars.
To try and resolve your issue:
__First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
__Un-publish the calendar.
__Export the calendar holding this recurring event as an ICS file: File > Export > Export.
__Delete the calendar in question from iCal
__Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
__Once the computer is restarted, double-click the ICS you exported to re-add it.
__Re-publish the calendar
If the issue persists at this point, I would delete this recurring event and re-create it as it's entry in the iCal database may be damaged.
Hope that helps.

Generate every hour event 2331 for each DP after Software update Deployment Package deletion

We have an organization build on SCCM 2012 R2 with 270 DPs configured with DP Pulls function. The centralized point contains DP sources available for all DP Pull.
We have some problems with Windows Update deployment package, and we decide to delete them. We first remove them from all DPs. After more than a month we delete the deployment package. From this day, we see that the SMS_Distribution_Manager service generate
every hour logs for contacting each of the 270 DPs to ask them for deleting the package.
Remark: At the time we run the delete, some of the DPs were not connected. After 3 weeks all of them were connected. A month later, the SMS_Distribution_Manager
generate always these events every hour.
Each DP responds with a 2331 event that seems OK. Every hour the system begin with two events (2301 and then 2300 for this package, after a 2331 for each
DP). All these events are also present in the application log of the Event Viewer. After the last DP connection that respond with 2331 event, there are no event that generalize a task for the package to definitively remove it from the database.
Could anyone help me to correct the system?

There are no error messages. There are only messages generated in Distribution_manager logs and Event Viewer, showing us server processing and network activity on package that was deleted over 40 days, and that happened every hours. The Microsoft support
give us directives to delete orphan records in 4 tables
pkgServers_L,pkgServers_G,PkgStatus_L,PkgStatus_G)
At this time the correction has positive effect.

Repeat event not working correctly

Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25)
Calendar Version 8.0 (2026)
I've set up custom repeating events before. I work offshore on a fixed schedule, 6 weeks on 3 weeks off. I always start work on a Wednesday and finish on a Tuesday, I've set these up previously as its the easiest way to see if I'm home for a birthday or event of somesort.
However, my schedule has just moved after some time off and now when I set up a new event instead of a perfect 9 week cycle, calenar adds some extra days onto the end of repeating cycles, varying days, sometime 1, 2 or 3 extra.
So, I'm trying to set up my new schedule as follows;
New event - Work
Starts - Wednesday 11/02/15
Ends - Tuesday 24/03/15
Repeat - Custom, Every 9 weeks on Wednesday
End Repeat - After 12 times
Fairly straight forward, my schedule cycle is 9 weeks, so repeat ever 9 weeks on weds, the duration is exactly 6 weeks whilst at work, again fairly straight forward.
This is where I start getting problems,
1st repeat event starts on the correct day (15th April), but the end of the event is 2 days late on 28th June instead of 26th June.
2nd repeat event is the same, starts on the correct day but ends two days late.
3rd repeat event starts correct but ends 3 days late
4th repeat event starts correct but ends 3 days late
This continues, 3 late, 2 late, 1 late, 2 late etc
So I change it to repeat every 63 days, but still get the same error in the length of event?
Can anybody help or is it a flaw in the new version of calendar? I've tried using my iPhone to create the event in the same way but get the same results, extra days on the end?
Thanks

If you do not have the code for the button, and the button, present throughout your timeline travels, then you need to assign the code anytime you leave and return to whatever section(s) it is in. The code only executes in the frame it is in even though you might extend it along the timeline.

Time Capsule backs up every hours and takes 1/2 to back up, it slows down all funtions on computer to a crawl.

I have the time capsule with the ethernet cord running from it, this is the way my husband set it up. In the last month, when time machine backs up it takes forever and then repeats itself every hour. I can't get anything done because it slows everything down, or I am unable to open applications. I read in discussions what to do and have not had any luck. I checked my speeds: download 10.58pbps and upload 4.85 mpbs. My husband pays for preminum cable for fast service. I don't know how to fix this issue, or perhaps I don't know how to ask the right question. Can anyone help?

This is a hard one..
With Time Machine turned off, what speed do you get using a speed test service to the internet?
Remove the TC and connect directly to the cable modem and check the speed.. if the TC is slow as a router, then there is some issue.
I see you are on SL.. did you update the firmware on the TC to 7.6.x recently..
There does seem to be some bugs in the latest firmware for some people. I would downgrade the firmware back to 7.5.2. I would also check if the TC isn't almost full. That hugely slows things down.
Do a full factory reset and redo the setup.
Otherwise I think it can be worth getting a different wireless router, and simply bridge the TC to use for backup only.. I think that is what I would do in your situation.

Retraction for Capitals wbs keep running never end..

Hi all;
While running a retraction for capital wbs using this 'UPR_COST_PLAN_EXEC' FM, the job keeps running for hours never end, I can see the messages at the task bar 'Data summarized...' , 'data transfered..' etc..I don't get any error message or anything.
This is not a new function, it has been running well in the past and I never had any issue. We run this every month to retract monthly updates into R/3, The only thing I have changed between last month and this month are
On the planning level Version = 5 (I had 4 last month) this is the version this data gets stored in R/3.
Also the parameter grp version = 5.
Those should not cause this issue...Did anyone had this issue earlier? Pls write to me...as this is a production issue..I will assign good points.
thanks.
BK

Got it figured out guys...thanks.

Itouch calendar - how do i repeat an event every 3 weeks?

I've just bought an itouch. I previously had a palm tungsten.
On the palm, I had the flexibility to repeat events on a particular day of the week every number of weeks/months. eg every 3rd Saturday of the month or the 20th of each month, every 3 weeks on a Saturday, etc.
How can I do this on an itouch? I am really trying to repeat an event every 3 weeks, but at the moment there is only an option to repeat it daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly or yearly.

I can't see a way to do it.
Why don't you let apple know that more flexibility is necessary: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

ICal keeps sending email notifications from all agenda items from the last 2 years. After laptop start up this action is repeated every hour. How can I stop these 300 emails coming in every hour?

iCal keeps sending email notifications of all agenda items from the last 2 years (then I bought my laptop). After laptop start up this action is repeated every hour. How can I stop these >300 emails coming in every hour?

ICal event reminder bug causes alarm to be repeated every hour

Hi,
I'm running 10.7.3 on an iMac.
In the last fortnight (nothing with the OS or settings has been changed) the iCal event reminders incorrectly trigger every hour for the same event. This is occuring for every event reminder, even if the settings are for a single alarm or email the day before. To make things worse I've had to delete the events with one-off email notifications as my inbox was getting full!
The events themselves are not duplicated, and the alarms not set to be recurring.
I have an icloud calendar, two exchange calendars, and two calendars all being sync'd between my iMac, two macbook pro's, and iPhone and iPad. Have had these all set for ages with no problems.
I've called apple support enough times in the past to have already checked the system privilages but unfortunately this has not resolved the problem.
I would turn off all the event alarms but a few of the calendars are shared across different sites and keep us all on the same page (occasionally also the events have been created by others).
Suggestions would be much appreciated
Isaac

Totally missed it, duh! Thanks. Will try again.
