In repeating events , in the calendar app of Iphone or Ipad,

In repeating events , in the calendar app of Iphone or Ipad, How can I stipulate for egsample: "every second tuesday of the month " or even every last monday of every second month..
These selections work in the Google Calendar. but I cannot find the way to do it in the standard ipad or iphone calendar
all I can find to select are "Monthly , weekly , . I want to be able to select "day of the week " or "day of the month" Thanks ,
Victor

The iPhone/iPad version of iCal doesn't have this option, but the Mac desktop version does (assuming you use a Mac). Follow the directions below and then sync your device with your Mac and the repeating event will appear in your mobile device.
Open iCal on the desktop. Make a new event. Double click on the event and then click "edit." Change the repeat option to "Custom..." Select frequency as "monthly." Click the bottom radio button that says "on the" to enable you to set which day to repeat on. Close the event info window and then sync your device.
I hope they enable this option in the mobile software soon. It is a glaring omission for a calendar program.
P.S., sorry, I just noticed you didn't include a Mac in your hardware list. I don't know how you'd accomplish this with Windows. Maybe this post will help someone else, though.

  • I'm too old to learn iCal.  How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad??  Thanks

    I'm too old to learn iCal.  How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad?? 
    Also, once I figure out how to replace iCal with Outlook/Mac on iTunes, how do I synch the phone and pad so that the information on those devices over-writes onto Outlook as a backup, rather than having a blank Calendar on Outlook wipe out all of the information on the phone and pad???
    Thanks

    If you haven't tried already, plug your devices into iTunes, and on each device next to the "Summary" tab at the top is another tab called "Info." Click that and scroll down to Contacts, Calendars, etc. There should be a pull down bar under each category for "Sync contacts from..." and you should be able to select from that pull down list Outlook.  Hit Apply at the bottom and see if that does it.

  • I can't update individual events in the Calendar app.

    I'm trying to update an event in the list of events on the left side of the Calendar app display in my Ipad2 ios 5 device.  When I tap on the event nothing happens.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi there RonBeaucahmp,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Is there any way to sync Facebook bdays/events to the calendar on my iPhone?

    I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me on this? Thanks

    I followed their guide and imported both fb events and bdays to my google calendar, they all show up in my google cal on the web but not on my iPhone. I have an exchange account setup on the phone with my google account and have calendar, mail and contacts checked. The mail and contacts sync fine but the fb events aren't showing on my iPhone. I do have exchange checked in calendars also?
    On a side note, do you know what the invitations button is in the calendar app?  Thanks

  • Problems with the Calendar App in iPhone 4S

    I'm having a problem the Calendar app with an iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3). I added a Google account with the company's domain (Microsoft Exchange option), but the calendar it's not available on the Calendar App list. I already tried to delete / restart / create the account, but so far I'm unable to see the Calendar in the list.
    Any suggestions?

    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.

    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)

    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.

  • Can I add non regular repeating events in the default Calendar?

    Hello,
    I've recently been using the Calendar app to try to keep track of my increasingly hectic work schedule. One of my jobs is easy to add as it's on the same day each week, so I can just use the repeating events menu. The other two can be any day of the week, but always the same hours, so if I'm cleaning it's always 8.30 to 14.30, but it can Monday, Wednesday and Thursday this week, Tuesday and Thursday the next, just Monday the next, you get the idea.
    What I'd like to do is to be able to add an event called 'cleaning' or 'bar work' to a specific day and have the calendar know that means it needs to block off 8.30 to 14.30 or 20.00 to midnight. It can take me 15 minutes some weeks to enter my work schedule into my phone as it is, and if I'm interrupted while I'm doing it then I have no idea which days I haven't entered yet.
    Is this something I can do in the Calendar app? If not, is there another app I can do this in, or at least cut the process down in some way? I've tried looking at other calendar apps, but it doesn't seem to a feature they advertise if they do have it.
    Thanks in advance

  • I copied a calendar item from Outlook to the Calendar app.  I can't delete it and the reminder for the meeting repeats itself every few seconds.

    I copied a calendar item from Outlook to the Calendar app.  I can't delete it and the reminder repeats itself every few seconds.  How can I stop the reminder?  How can I delete the calendar item?

    Can you access in on icloud.com and delete the event?  If not, and force-quitting didn't help, try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Calendars, choose Delete from Mac when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then restart your Mac and go back and check Calendars again.

  • Is there a way to flag events on the Calendar differently?  I want to put bills in my Calendar on the days they are usually due (repeating monthly).  I want to flag them somehow when they have been paid.

    Is there a way to flag events on the Calendar.  I want to put bills to be paid (and have them repeat monthly) on my Calendar.  I would like to be able to flag them after they are paid.  I tried to put them in using the "Home calendar" blue, and them change them to purple (Work Calendar) after I had paid them.  The problem is that once I changed a bill from blue to purple it changed all upcoming bills for future months to purple also.

    You might want to try Reminders.
    Creat a Bill Pay list, add all your bills set a reminder to repeat every month and when you pay one just check them off as complete

  • I have a new IPAD. There are no "list", "date," and "add a reminder" buttons on the Reminder app. There are also no "calendar" and "add an event" bottons on the Calendar App. Why?

    I just bought a new IPAD. There are no "list", "date," and "add a reminder" buttons on the Reminder App. There are also no  "calendar" and "add an event" buttons on the Calendar App. Why? Is there a way to add either a reminder or an event?

    For the reminders app - just tap on an open space on the ruled paper window under the heading in order to create a new reminder. Or tap on the + sign in the upper right corner of the app. You do not have the + sign on the app?
    For the calendars app to go Settings>iCloud>Calendars>On. Toggle the setting on and off and the + sign should appear in the lower right corner of the calendars app. Tap the + sign to create a new event.

  • The + in the calendar app is greyed out and I can't schedule an event

    The + in the calendar app is greyed out and it won't let me schedule an event. I have checked that my mail calenders are turned on as well as the iCloud calendar. Please help.

    This is what I did to solve it: go to settings>iCloud> turn calendar off! and then on again, and voila!

  • Can someone pls advise how to tie a contacts info to a calendar event so you can contact them from the event when reschedulingis necessary instead of having to leave the calendar app, search contacts,

    Connect contact info to calendar event in calendar app

    Hello AmyDGH,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! You can invite others to your events using email addresses. Once your invitees have accepted, you can then send a group email to the participants via the calendar application (or individually view a participants contact information). You can check out the iOS user guide for more information on using invitations with the calendar application:
    Invitations - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iph82c5721ca
    Invite others to an event. Tap an event, tap Edit, then tap Invitees. Type names, or tap the add button to pick people from Contacts. If you don’t want to be notified when someone declines a meeting, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Show Invitee Declines.
    Quickly send an email to attendees. Tap the event, tap Invitees, then tap the send mail to invitees button.
    Cheers,
    Matt M.

  • HT5500 can't see Facebook events in the Calendar

    I choose the option to sync calendar with Facebook events in settings, but I still can't see them in the calendar, and even though I checked the Facebook calendar in the calendar list. what am I missing?

    I'm having the same problem. A few notes in case this might jog someone into realizing what's going on.
    I removed all the Facebook apps on my phone, disabled all of the facebook integration settings, rebooted it, and started from scratch ... multiple times. Even disabled the other calendar sources I have. (Google and work CalDav.) No luck.
    If I go into Settings-->Facebook, turn on Contacts integration, and go back to the Calendar.app I can enable Facebook Birthdays and they come across fine. You would think that the iOS to Facebook authorization is handled in one spot but perhaps that isn't the case.
    I've looked up and down the Facebook settings via the web site and the iPhone app. Nothing looks amiss. (See previous comment about authorization.)
    I have, for lack of better words, messed around heavily with my iPhone Calendar and Contacts settings. I started with syncing with Google contacts and Googe Cal over the net directly, then moving to CalDAV and CardDAV, for both. At various times I messed with iCloud sync as well and adding the same Google services to my Mac laptop Calendar and Contacts app. Currently, I'm back to Google for CalDav and CardDav over the net on the iPhone and the Mac. Everything works pretty well except some Contact fields don't line up, which usually isn't a problem and, of course, Facebook events no longer show.
    Why do I mention all that? Perhaps some of you have tried similar things and we've corrupted one of the internal settings files or plist and put our phones into an unrecoverable state. I can't recall when the Facebook events stopped showing after I messed with things because ...
    The events stopped syncing but some of the old ones were around for a bit. They all dissapered once I started trying to fix it but it wasn't like they were all gone one day. When I noticed this problem it was because events I were adding stopped showing up but there were still a few listed. Almost as if the sync stopped kicking in but the events themselves were still cached.
    Anyway ... that's probably tl;dr length but hopefully it will jog some brain cells.

  • How can I copy and paste events in the calendar?

    Does anyone know how to cut and paste or copy and past events in the calendar?  The events happen at different times and on different days so I can't just "repeat".  Thanks in advance!

    Ignore MJG196 post.
    In Calendar, tap the event, tap Edit, then change the Starts date you want the event to move to.

  • Why does my iPad keep on crashing on the calendar app

    Hi,
    I'm a student and the last thing that you want to forget is Homework. I like to keep organised every year with all my homework in the calendar app that apple provide so it will alert me when homework has to be in and started. However I click on march and it then crashes every time! I don't know why. It's fine on January and Febuary but when u click on march 2013 it crashes.
    Please help,
    It's an iPad 2 by the way and on the latest iOS 6.0.1.

    Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day (if you don't sync your calendar from anywhere then try going into list view, go to 1st April and change any 'all day' events to times e.g. change Easter Monday to start at something like 4am) - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving on the day before.
