I want to repeat an event on a set number of days.

I work shift work and my schedule repeats every 28 days. For example, I work day shift today and in 28 days I will work day shift. I want to input my work schedule into iCal, but it doesn't let me create a repeatable event for a certain number of days. I would manually have to enter my work schedule every month. Can we get this changed. I know several of my co-workers have iPhones and would like to have this feature. We would like to deal with just one calander, versus several. Google calender has this feature, and that is what we currently use, but we want to use the iCal app. Thanks for the help and input.

I found a work around. iCal in iCloud will let you customize your iCal entries; so I inputed my custom work schedule and then it just updates your iPhone.

I wanted to know how do you calculate the number of days between two dates

i wanted to know how do you calculate the number of days between two dates in java ? i get both the dates from the database. i guess there are many issues like leap year and Febuary having diff no of months ..etc.

thanks..
I solve my problem as
public class MyExample {
    public static void main(String a[]) {
        String stdate = "2009-03-01";
        java.sql.Date currentDate = new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
        java.sql.Date preDate = java.sql.Date.valueOf(stdate);
        System.out.println(currentDate);
        System.out.println(preDate);
//        int dateCom = preDate.compareTo(currentDate);
//        System.out.println(dateCom);
        long diff = currentDate.getTime() - preDate.getTime();
        int days = (int) Math.floor(diff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
         System.out.println(days);
}

Ho do I repeat an event monthly but on a specific day of the week?

I need to repeat an event every month on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. The only monthly repeating option that I see will put it on that same day every month, by the date and not by the day of the week. Anybody know how I do this?

Make your event on eg 20th Feb. Edit it, select Repeat/Custom , select Monthly, and 3rd Wednesday will be a selectable option.

How can I repeat an event in Calendar on a specific day.

I want to set a repeat event on a specific day each month, like the Last Tuesday. Also I'd like to set a quarterly repeat event.

Using the native calander, the only options you have are those that pop up when you hit 'repeat'. So if you are looking for a specific date each month, you are fine, but looking for the 4th tuesday, you are not fine. You might search the app store for non apple alternatives.

Training event falls on 2 to 3 days a week. How to consider this as one program in SharePoint 2010

Dear all,
I have a training event that happens to my staff for 2 to 3 days a week. This will continue for 2 or 3 weeks. This needs to be considered as one training event. For this event the trainer needs to mark attendance on each day. Just to check with you
- can we accomplish this in sharepoint.net or I need to use c#classes and asp.net to accomplish this project.
Any inputs are welcome.
Cheers
sathya

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to do a event which trigger 2 or 3 days a week to let trainer make attendance each day.
I suggest you can use calendar recurrence event to make the event happen 2 or 3 days a week and you can invite the trainer in the event to make attendance each day.
For making attendance for trainer, you can create a custom web page or web part with some input control to insert the attendance record to a list using Server Object Model. You can log the custom web page url in calendar description.
More information:
Using web part insert data to a list
Thanks

How do I set repeating workday events in my calender? There is no option for custom.

How do I set repeating workday events in my calender? There is no option for custom.

The built in Calendar app has very limited repeat options. You might want to try an app like Week Cal which has a much more robust repeating event selection. As it pulls from the same calendar database as the built in, there's no reentering of information required.

Plz tell me motrola support repeated key events.

Plz tell me about my this ancient problem that if some device support repeated key event than tell me its name and also provide a link to download it.
moreover also tell me about this strange content type:-
Here i have content type which is strange for me :- response.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded") plz tell me either it will ok if i want to display some other language;
i want internationalization and want to set utf-8 but now tell me for what purpose is above content type and what would be its alternative. thanx

See http://www.kobjects.org/devicedb/ for which devices do and don't support key repeat events.
Application/x-www-form-urlencoded is defined at
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1
You can use application/x-www-form-urlencoded with UTF-8 provided that the server is expecting UTF-8 encoded bytes. However, I don't think many MIDP implementations support String.getBytes("UTF-8") so you may be stuck with doing the UTF-8 encoding yourself.
If you control the server, you may want to instead use DataOutput.writeUTF() from the client and DataInput.readUTF() from the server. Another alternative is to use XML, where you can employ character references for non-US-ASCII characters.

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.

Repeating iCal Events Based on Other Events

Basically, I'm working on something that involves a non-standard calendar that has repeating monthly events. My hope was if I could put in the first day of each "month", I could have the rest of the events populate themselves by repeating based on that first event.
I'm guessing there's no way to have such a complex repeating scheme. I certainly can't see one in iCal. Does anyone else have any thoughts?

I think any answer that works for rbdbk would probably work for me, too.
In my case, the problem is monthly events based on a lunar calendar. I want to be able to put in the start of the lunar month, then have events - which may fall on the seventh day of the month, or second Saturday of the month, etc. - copy themselves for each month.
Essentially, events that repeat their timing based on previously entered events.

TS3999 How to repeat one event only on weekdays with iPad calendar?

I want to use iPad 1 calendar to repeat one event on weekdays, that is to say, repeat five days in a 7-day week. However, I find that is impossible due to the matter of fact that I can only make repeating everyday possible. Anyone helps me? Thanks a lot.

There is an app that will do this for you. You add the reoccurring events into the app and the events are saved to your native calendar app or any connected calendar account.

Repeating calendar events

I want my event to repeat 'the second Sunday of every month' or 'every two weeks on Tuesday'. I can only get it to repeat on a specific date every month.

This is incredibly frustrating for me too!
I have a repeated monthly event for a discount at a store that is offered on the first Tuesday of every month. So I have a repeated event taking place on the 1st of every month. In the previous month I reset next month's date from the 1st to whatever date falls on the first Tuesday.
But ever since upgrading to Yosemite, I am experiencing the same problem as the original person who posted. The date saves on my calendar but does not sync to my iCloud. When I reboot the computer, the date reverts back to the 1st.
I'm thankful I don't have any events that needed to be tracked because ALL of my previous changes in the past have reverted back to the 1st of the month. I would have been in the same terrible situation as yaz999 in having to manually change every event in previous months.
Why hasn't this bug been fixed yet???!!!

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

No. When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library. Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications. You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.
