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 set an event to repeat on a week day rather than a numerical day of each month?

    How can I set an event to repeat on a week day rather than a numerical day of each month? I see an option at the bottom of the repeat window .... but I cannot use it. Actually, when I try it freezes up my Calendar.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to sequentially number repeating calendar events

    Is there a way to sequentially number repeating calendar events?
    For example: I have fitness training 3x a week, every Tue, Thu & Sat. I  set it up as a repeating event in calendar, but would like it to nimber each event. o if I looked at the last day on the calendar, there would have been noted somewhere that this was occurence #12 Currently, I would have to go ahead into each event & edit in what # it was. Any help or suggestions  would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I don't believe that there any automatic way to do this in the Calendar App.

  • Why would a repeating Calendar event display on both my Macs and my iPhone, but not on my iPad?

    I have accepted a repeating Calendar event invitation. It displays on both my office and home Macs and on my iPhone, but it doesn't show up on my iPad. I've checked to ensure that the proper Calendar is displaying on the iPad, and all of my other events seem to be displaying just fine. I'm stumped by this one!

  • Subsequent to Yosemite or updates, my repeating calendar events can not be updated as before. When I update an event (of the repeating event) on my MacBook Pro; its reverts back when I shut it down and come back, and doesn't update other devices?

    Subsequent to Yosemite or updates, my repeating calendar events can not be updated as before. When I update an event (of a repeating event) on my MacBook Pro; its reverts back when I shut it down and come back, and doesn't update other devices?
    Has anyone experienced this and does anyone know a fix?

    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???!!!

  • Setting the home page to be computer, rather than user specific

    I run a computer lab and would like to set the home page to be computer, rather than user specific. Is this possible ?

    Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values for all users.
    Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
    pref("browser.startup.homepage", "<your preferred home page>");

  • How to set repeating calendar events?

    Looked in help and followed the instructions and nothing to do with events showed.  maverick and pro retina

    If you double-click on the Event, a window will pop up; click on the appropriate section (the time in this case).
    For a New Event, click on Add Alert, Repeat, or Travel Time
    Once selected, Click on the Repeat section and choose a default or use Custom… to set the repeat frequency.

  • Is it (or will it) ever be possible to set the interval on events?

    I'm a firefighter and love the iPhone. I work every third day (for 24 hours) and would love to be able to automatically set it in my phone so my shifts are notated for months to come without having to manually enter each and every one. I know right now i can set "every day" and "every week" and so on. Will there ever be a feature where i can set how frequent an event repeats?

    Don't know what you may sync your calendar with. But if you sync with a calendar app on your computer or via Exchange (or use Googles calendar and sync with it) those computer apps have far more options and you could setup events there and have them sync over easier.

  • BlackBerry OS6: Repeating Calendar Events Broken?

    Hi everyone,
    I have been experiencing the strangest issue when trying to add a calendar event in BlackBerry OS6, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good way to work around this issue.
    Basically, the problem happens when trying to book a repeating event at a time where the current GMT time differs from the current local time. For example, I am trying to book an event that happens every week at 10 pm edt on a tuesday, but BlackBerry 6 ends up booking the event every week at 10 pm EDT the Wednesday instead, presumably because the GMT date does indeed occur on the Wednesday. When I tried to set it to repeat on the Tuesday, it ended up repeating on both the Tuesday and Wednesday, leaving me out of further options.
    Has anyone experienced this issue, and if so, are there any good work-arounds My current solution is to have my event say it is on Monday so that it books on Tuesday, but this is undesirable because it is displaying Monday when you view the event series.

    Hi Kim,
    Good question. That .plist file is just a place where iCal keeps track of your preference settings. Sometimes that file gets corrupted and cause all sorts of strange behavior. Deleting the preferences is just a first thing to try when experiencing strange behavior. In iCal, resetting the preferences isn't a big deal. In some programs there are many layers of preferences so you might want to think twice before deleting, or at least write down all the preferences before doing so.
    Whether or not you need to delete depends on your problem (assuming you're having one). Are you? If so you might want to describe the problem here but it won't hurt to delete the preferences; you'll just need to reset them if you want anything set other than the default (eg I have time Zone support checked).

  • Setting 1 April Calendar Events

    Today I started receiving errors messages when setting new calendar events in iPhone iOs 5.0.1
    "Cannot Save Event" with mix of "Event Does Not Belong to That Event Store" or "No Calendar Has Been Set".
    After doing a number of searches I tried many of the suggested fixes including:
    change default calendar
    reboot the phone (power cycle)
    reset the phone (home + power cycle)
    close multi tasked items including Calendar
    turn icloud off/on
    Each worked for the one or two events, but then I started to notice that everytime I tried doing a calendar event for Sun 1 Apr, the error re-occured.
    I tested specifically again for this, entering an event for today (4th March) and then in the future (1st May), and finally 1st April.  Error re-appeared as soon as I started using the 1st April.
    Thinking back to when the error first started appearing, and it was a 1 April date where I had an event starting 31st March and ending 1st April, and I wanted to adjust the end date back to 31st March.
    Have managed to reset phone and have stayed clear of using 1 April for any events.

    Okay, cancel the emergency. Figured out that if I turn off Calendars in iCloud (on the iPad), choose Delete Calendars on This Device, then turn it back on, everything returns to normal.

  • 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.

  • I'd like to set my gutters in em or px, rather than %.

    Hi,
    I know this is likely to be a big ask, but is it going to be possible to set gutters in em or px at some stage?
    In my opinion, gutter width should be relative to type size. My type size increases a little as the page (screen) size increases - due to a likely decrease in resolution and increase in viewing distance - but not nearly at the rate of the page size. It's likely a logarithmic relationship, but good luck figuring that one out!
    In the meantime, I'm effectively turning off the gutters by setting them at 0.001% (0% seems to be unavailable), then using padding.
    I'm pretty new to this whole web design thing, so I may be missing something.
    For what it's worth, coming from print design with a basic working knowledge of html/css, I am loving working with Reflow. It's a fantastic tool for illustrating my intentions to both the client and developer. 
    Lastly, while I have your attention, it'd be great if you could incorporate a simple javascript show/hide script to allow the use of basic mobile navigations. Something that you can use to show a div on click. Now that you've built buttons, this should be relatively easy, right?
    Also, copying and pasting div's would be great. Or, even better, a way to create and work on modular components which are applied to several pages. It's be nice to have, for example a header component that can be worked on in isolation and applied to all pages.
    cheers,
    Luke

    whoops, missed this post last week. Sorry for the late reply.
    We've been asked for different gutters units before, and I've added it to our backlog. I can't give you a time when we might get to this, but I agree, it's something that could be improved.
    Copy/Paste is coming! Yes, sad it's taken so long, please be patient with us. "Smart" or reusable objects is on our radar as well, lots of requests for that too.
    As for click action/behaviors, we've done some exploration on this.
    We've got lots to do, I hope that partially answers your questions.
    Thanks, I'm glad you like Reflow so far!

  • Is it possible to bill a Third Party Sale on GR rather than IR?

    Hi, I would like to bill my customer as soon as I have had a GR notification from my supplying partner rather than waiting for the vendor invoice (as there can be a delay). The help text associated with Item category 'Relevant for Billing; indicator 'F' suggests this is possible ....
    "You can make the control setting as to whether the invoice receipt quantity or the goods receipt quantity should be relevant for billing in the copy control for billing on the item level in the billing quantity field. (In Customizing, choose Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing documents -> Maintain Copying Control for Billing Documents -> Copying Control: Delivery to Billing Document -> Item, then select an item category.)"
    ... but this doesn't make much sense to me as I don't want to create an outbound delivery, I just want to trigger the customer invoice (order related billing) on a non-valuated GR against the related PO .... is this possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Patrick,
    if you want to bill third-party order before Invoice Receipt, then billing relevance FKREL must be 'B'.
    In customizing copy control the Billing quantity indicator should be 'E'.
    Please test hese settings.
    Best regards,
    Ivano.
