I added a calendar event to repeat every two weeks, but it repeats every day.

I've added a calendar event to repeat every two weeks, but it repeats every day.  The original event was set up for all Day on Wednesday, Nov 5.  Setting up for a single  day worked fine.  Add the repeat option and select every two weeks...and it shows up every day until the end date.  I've re-booted the phone and tried other start dates.  Same result.  This is in the base iPhone calendar.  No other calendars have been installed.   iPhone 6  iOS 8.0.2.  Any suggestions?

Found a workaround:
Just change each attribute 1 item at a time.
Create the calendar entry for one day only with no other settings.
Go back in and edit it so that its every two weeks, then leave and confirm this worked.
Open calendar back up and add in the end date.
That's the only way I could get it to accept those settings, one attribute at a time.
Misc. bug I suppose.  I miss the "It just works" days.  Living in silicon valley, the QA engineering buds I have at apple go on rants about the undisclosed/undiscovered but known bugs in ios every time we're having drinks.  From what I hear, internally IOS8/8.1 weren't ready for prime time push just yet.

  • How can I set a calendar event to repeat every 2nd and 4th Wednesday?

    I know it's possible to create a custom repeat for every 2 weeks, but that is not what I need, as that will change to the 1st and 3rd Wednesday at times.

    Fyomax,
    Create two individual "Custom..." events...
    One which repeats every "second" Wednesday...
    ...and one which repeats every "fourth" Wednesday.

  • IPhone 3 Adding a Calendar event error.

  • Calendar Shows Appointment for Every Day please help

    First off, I'm a Microsoft .NET programmer and I LOVE my IPhone, my IPod and my Shuffle!
    My IPhone Calendar shows the little "dot" for every day, even when I don't have appointments.
    Can someone please help me get the dots off so I can look at my calendar and tell when I have events scheduled?
    Here is my setup:
    Outlook 2003 - Not connected to Exchange
    Windows XP Pro
    Thank you!
    IBM Compatible   Windows XP Pro   I love my IPhone and IPod and Shuffle!

    When I click on the day it says "No Events".
    I have people's birthday's that occur every year if that's what you mean by reoccurring, but who doesn't have that in their calendar?
    I can take the date back to 1997 to way before I started entering appointments and it still shows the "dots".
    The things I've read explain the "dots" mean I have an appointment on that day.
    I appreciate the help so far. Solving this would be a great improvement for my calendar!
    Thank you for your time.

  • Calendar event showing on iPhone & in Outlook but not on iPad

    I have a calendar event that is showing up on the iPhone and in Outlook, but not on the iPad (using Exchange). All other events are displaying on the iPad but this one event. The event is no different from any others, except it had a .pdf attached (it is not recurring). Any idea what could cause this and how to fix it? Thanks.

    Created a new Exchange event with a pdf on my work computer, and it immediately showed up on my iPad. I just now noticed that on all of my events, I am unable to look at any attachments, interesting.
    But anyway, it worked for me. Other Exchange events are currently showing up in your calendar? If yes, then I don't know.
    If no, then in your Exchange account settings make sure you have Calendars set to ON. Also, in Calendar on tyour iPad, click the Calendars button on the top left corner. Little Show Calendars thing should pop up. Make sure they are all checked, or at least your Exchange account is checked.
    All the ideas I have for now.

  • Adding a Calendar Event

    When I am adding an event to my calendar and I go to enter the time it kicks me out of the calendar and sends me back to the main menu. If I accept the posted time I can go back and edit the time and date with no problem. Anyone else have this problem or am I doing something wrong.

    Never mind. I figured out that I was not setting "Home Calendar" at the top of the screen. Do that and everything works fine

  • Adding iOS Calendar event (ics) with JavaScript

    Hi,
    I would like to add a VEVENT  to the iOS Calendar app. I create the event on the fly and open it with:
    //_ics.create() returns an uri-component-encoded icalendar-formatted string which starts with a 'data:text/calendar,'-prefix.
    window.open(_ics.create(event));
    On Mobile Safari it works as expected. Saved as a web app, i.e. added to the home screen, it doesn't work anymore and produces the message "Download failed...". I've tested it on iOS 7.1.2.
    Any ideas why? Isn't the web app essentially a Safari instance without toolbars?

    You mean to say that I have to chose between the very useful feature of having the chat threads archived OR having calendar reminders as an alert in IM client. Why can't I have both the useful features, that's so lame.Both the features can co-exist with the limitation that user receives two mails one from Calendar Server and one from IM server as a result of archiving enabled.
    It can't be that difficult to just ignore the mailing of calendar alerts, all alerts must be tagged, the IM just needs a simple bit of filtering. Really disappointing, now which nice feature do I have to drop.......I do agree,it's not that difficult.However there are bugs raised for these issues(CR 6367502,CR 6818714),hopefully it should get resolved soon.

  • How do you access iCloud?  Since upgrading to ios5 my phone doesn't automatically sync to itunes any more.  Also my calendar events are on my iphone twice, but aren't in outlook.

    I'm not sure how iCloud works as far as syncing is concerned.
    Events on my calendar are now showing twice on my iphone calendar, but not in the original outlook calendar on my laptop.

    This:
    but then displayed a screen image (new to me) of the end of USB cable that would plug into a PC port with an arrow pointing to the iTunes icon.
    Means the iPod encountered and error and you have to connect the iPod to a computer with iTunes and an internet connection and restore via iTunes.
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    Also say you have iCloud but that requires iOS 5 or later except with your iOS verions (4.3.2) you can redownload iTunes purchases on the iPod.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Calendar events are showing up two days early on my iPhone, how do I make them show up on the right day?

    Notifications are showing in my notification centre that birthdays are 1 day before they actually occur. Is this a general fault or can it be fixed?
    Also, the birthdays have been entered as part of the contact information, if this has any bearing on the answer.

    Depends on your setting.  Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...scroll down to the Calendars section, tap Default Alert Times>Birthdays, set as desired.

  • My computer keeps crashing when I use Firefox. This has been happenning for the last 2 weeks, but as of 3 days ago it's just impossible. What can I do, I keep having to reload every 10 minutes because it freezes up and crashes.

    This has been happening when I'm on Facebook and playing games. It just freezes up and not even the cursor moves. I have to hit Ctrl Alt Del in order to disconnect and reload. Every time it happens I have sent report , but nothing seems to help. Yesterday I went and I cleared out all my cookies to see if it would help; but today it's impossible.

    the behavior you are reporting can be many things...so lets start asking a few questions. Did you remove or add anything to your computer before all this started ?...can you temporarily disable your anti virus and try again? is IE ( internet explorer ) working fine?

  • Calendar event - how to make it to repeat it self?

    Hi,
    I was surprised to say that I added a calendar event and I can't make to repeat itself.
    For example, I'm using this because I have to take some medicine every day in the morning and I always use reminder for this, to be sure that I take it So it is not a event reminder, which I would like o repeat itself.
    I didn't found anything for this setting. Did anyone find such a thing?
    Thank you.

  • Bug: Repeating Google Calendar Events Show Up On The Wrong Days

    I've created a Google Calendar event that repeats "Daily," every two days, from 6:00pm to 6:30pm. It shows up fine in my Google Calendar, but the Pre's Calendar puts them on the wrong days. For example, the repeating event that should be scheduled for today shows up tomorrow (offset by +1 day). 
    I tried turning off network timezones, but the bug remains.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this is a bug, how can I submit it to Palm?
    Thanks! 
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
    Some new data:
    If I create the repeating event on my Pre, rather than via Google, it shows up on the Pre correctly. However, it only shows up for one day via Google (today); the event is not repeated. When I edit the event in Google, it's setup correctly. I tried saving the event from there, but it doesn't cause Google to recognize it should repeat.
    Very frustrating.
    Even more new data:
    Created yet another event via my Pre instead of via Google. This time Google picked up the correct repeat pattern, and my Pre now shows it on the correct days.
    Calendar sync needs serious work, based on my experience. I have issues with Facebook events showing up an hour later than they should, too. Dunno if this has been fixed yet.
    New Data (01/28/2010)
    Not sure why, but the above success reverted back to being off by one day; temporary success only.

    Hi, another quick question: you say you turned off network timezones.... did you make sure that the (now manually set) timezone is correct?
    Sounds similar to other issues related to the timezone being off, but usually the appointments were off by hours... not day(s).  However if your timezone is set to something really odd and the event you're creating is around midnight (again depends on a few things here), then MAYBE this is it.
    If it isn't, one of the support guys will have to chat with you privately about possibly collecting logs, getting more granular details, etc.

  • I Lose My iPad Calendar Events

    Every 3 to 4 weeks or so, I lose my calendar events on my iPad 1. But they always come back in 2 or 3 days. Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Tim Burak

    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPad, a Google calendar, etc.  If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
    If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your iPad calendar to your calendar on icloud.com.  Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On.  Then add a new event on your iPad and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
