Make particular Ical calendar on three week with different work hours...

Hello,
I work in shifts on three shifts per month and I'd like it to appear in a calendar for information to plan my appointments in advance, I do not know how to do this automatically for example
I shall desire to have a timetable as follows:
Week 1 schedule worked 7:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Week 2 schedule worked 8:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Week 3 schedule worked 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
How to put this up in my mac (I have a mobile subscription with me and two iphones shynchronisation calendars) and it is repeated every three weeks.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Francois

Did you mean you need help with the repeat variables?
If so, you should be able to create an event with a time range, and go into custom repeat. Set it repeats weekly, every three weeks, while selecting the days of the week that are included in the repeat. If you have something different every day, of course you need to create a unique event for each by selecting only one day in the week dialogue that pops up for custom repeats.
Copy and paste that event like a template for everything on the three week cycle that you need to add.

Project Resource Calendars for onshore and offshore (different working hours)

Advice please.
As with many companies we use Project 2010 with onshore and offshore resources.
Facts are as follows:
Onshore resource – 09:00 – 17:00 – 35 hour week
Offshore resource – 08:00 – 18:00 – 40 hour week
These resources are in different time zones; however that element is not an issue.
The problem seems to be with resource calendars. Resource calendars are setup as per above and assigned to appropriate resources in EPM/Project Server 2010 - however could be local for same issue.
The problem is that work is reflected correctly in hours or days but not both.
So looking at Task usage table.
For example:
Typing in hours for Onshore and Offshore resources on any task is correct.
So 7 for onshore and 9 for offshore. However when you can the work view in options so that work is entered in days, its incorrect for offshore.
Same hours for both but incorrect days. Basically the resource calendar does not seem to have an impact.
The Plan default working times can be set to either schedule but either way one or the other type of resource is out.
For instance : Offshore resource 9 hours should equate to 1day. However it equates to 1.29 days.
Which would be correct if that resource was on an onshore cal.
My assumption is as follows:
Set the Project default hours to 08:00 – 18:00 – 9 hour days, 40 hour week.
This allows offshore to work there hours as the project plan is effectively open for business.
Onshore resources should then be restricted to their resource calendar meaning that they only work 7 hours per day regardless of the plan indicating 9 hour days.
Hope that makes sense...
Any thoughts would be much appreciated…..

Hi,
Everything you write is right, and your confusion only stems from the misunderstanding of how Project defined the "day" as a time unit.
Matter of fact, Project uses for its calculations only ONE time unit which is the MINUTE.
Of course, that implies the HOUR is a usable unit as well - an hour being 60 minutes isn't questioned by anyone.
OTOH, your post illustrateds tha a definition for day is not so obvious; Project's definition is that a day is always equal to an hour times the parameter "hours per day" in the options. So what a day is, is totally independent from any calendar, Project,
Resource or Task calendar. Within that definition the values you see are "right".
But the good news is that your other assumption,quote:
Onshore resources should then be restricted to their resource calendar meaning that they only work 7 hours per day regardless of the plan indicating 9 hour days.
That is true. Work is planned according to available working time in the appropriate calendar.
My advice is to not use the day as planning unit in any view: the hour will better allow to understand how Project is planning the tasks.
Greetings,

HT2513 my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas?

my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas on how to correct this? This seems like a trivial error, but it's super annoying.

I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem. It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about. (there was a new iCloud release, hence...) No ETA for a fix yet. I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list. I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve). I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward. They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset. ;-)

ICal Calendars deleted on MacBook with iPhone sync

My ENTIRE iCal calendar was deleted on my Mac when I synced it with my iPhone (3GS). I couple of calendars are still there but not the ones I need. I have not recently backed up on Time Machine neither is it on iCloud. Is there any way I could get everything back?!?!

ICal calendar data disappeared taking with it Entourage calendar and Mobile

I installed Snow Leopard on Friday on two Macs which are both registered on Mobile Me. My iPhone is also synched via Mobile Me. Just looking at my calendar in Entourage today(Monday) the events started disappearing. I opened iCal and the calendars were blank. I then went to Mobile Me and the calendar was there for about thirty seconds before it disappeared. Lastly, I booted my MacBook and the iCal calendars were empty as well as my iPhone. I tried to drag Calendar cache to the desktop and restarted iCal, but still empty. I have no archive calendar. The address book is fine and intact. First question - what happened? and Secondly, is there an archive available on Mobile Me that I can retrieve? Is this Snow Leopard related? I live by that calendar, so I need to get it back. Any suggestions?

Hi Darryl
I'm presuming you don't have Time Machine turned on, so you can't go back to find your previous calendar. If you don't, sadly I can't think of a way of retrieving it.
If you still have your address book my advice is to back that up straight away. (File, Export, Address Book Archive).
This is something that's happened to me before (prior to Snow Leopard). Mine began when I started getting double events in Entourage, when I decided in desperation after playing around with various options to delete the Entourage calendar in iCal, I did something to completely confuse the two systems and I could not get Entourage to re-recognise iCal. I read somewhere other threads that what I had to do was to turn off the synchronisation between Exchange and iCal for several cycles (several days) then reset it to sync again and be patient. I eventually got it back but remain paranoid and regularly take a back up of iCal (File, Export, iCal Archive). I haven't found a way to completely avoid the synching problems that happen from time to time like double events and not always synching. So I just back up regularly, take screenshots of calendars as well, and regularly check, turn synchronisation on and off while making decisions to override either Entourage or iCal when I turn it back on, and occasionally manually correct info. For me the problem is definitely tied up with the link to Entourage - if I turn of that synchronisation with iCal, then MobileMe works flawlessly. But i need the Entourage exchange calendar to be synchronised for work, so have to live with the flaws.

Ical events showing in week view as an hour later than the details in event

Hi all,
I've just been upgrading my ical / mobileme and I can't figure this out. All time zones are set to London-UK. If I look up appointments in week view all my calendars are colour coded. One particular calendar appears 1hr late with appointments. When I go into the details of this even it show correct time. For example. Kids school looks like it's in for 9:50 in week view but when I go into appointment it reads the correct time of 08:50?
Any ideas. Thanks

Andrew,
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
No, but you can use cut/paste. Cut (⌘X) the event, then click on the week where you want to move the event, and Paste (⌘V).
If you have a suggestion for Apple to change that method use: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback.

Project resources with different working weeks

Hi All,
I have a project with resources in different locations (Australia and the Middle East) who have different work weeks.
Australia (Monday-Friday)
Middle East (Sunday-Thursday)
Basically, common work week is Monday-Thursday, while the Australian resources do not work Sat/Sun, and the Middle East resources do not work Fri/Sat.
I need to be able to schedule work for both resources, but I can't find a way to allocate work weeks in this way as it appears that work weeks is a global setting. Is there a way around this with holidays that i'm not seeing? Anyone have a solution to this,
I can't be the first person to run a project in this manner.
Help very greatly appreciated,
Ryan

RyanBaker --
This is a really excellent question, by the way, because it gets at the heart of how Microsoft Project really works. Remember that Microsoft Project is a scheduling tool. You give it the correctly scheduling information and it will figure out
the correct schedule for every task in the project.
To resolve your situation, begin by creating two new Base Calendars: an Australian calendar and a Middle East calendar. On the Australian calendar, set the work week to Monday - Friday. For the Middle East Calendar, set the work week to
Sunday - Thursday. On your Standard calendar, leave the schedule set to Monday - Friday.
Next, assign the correct Base Calendar to each resource in the project. For resources from Australia, set the Australia calendar as their Base Calendar. For resources in the Middle East, set the Middle East calendar as their Base Calendar. This
will ensure that Microsoft Project schedules tasks correct when you assign resources to them.
Leave the Standard calendar set as the Project and Nonworking Time calendars in the project. Even though it will only show work from Monday through Friday, it will not matter. When you begin assigning resources to tasks, Microsoft Project will
reschedule the task, if needed, using the schedule shown as the Base Calendar for each resource. For example, you have a 5-day task with no resources currently scheduled to start on a Monday and finish on Friday. If you assign an Australian resource
to this task, the schedule will not change. But if you assign a Middle East resource to the task, the schedule of the task will change automatically to reflect the working schedule of this resource.
Hope this helps.

How do I set up a calendar that's associated with my work email NOT my iCloud email?

want to share my calendar across evices and macs, so iCloud is on. Calendar now sends meeting requests using my icloud email address instead of my professional work email.
I've tried to creat a new calendar but it only gives me the iCloud option under New Calendar.
How do I associate Work calendar with work email. (I know I can re-name the defaiult WORK as iCloud, but hiw do I create a new calendar that I'll call work with my work email?)

I have exactly the same problem - compounded by invitations coming in for meetings which go to my iCloud email inbox - which I don't want or need - leading to me missing meetings. I am surprised that you have had no replies to date - as this is fundamental to the diary system. Did you sort it out?

How can I sync "On My Mac" iCal calendars on Snow Leopard with iPhone and Google Calendar?

Hi,
(I've done a lot of searching for a clear answer but without success.)
Can someone please advise how I can get the "On My Mac" calendars on iCal v4.0.4 (running under Snow Leopard 10.6.8) to sync with an iPhone and Google Calendars, 'over the air' (i.e. not via iTunes) and both ways (two-way syncing).
There was a great bit of software called Spanning Sync which did it all but it's now discontinued. I'm running Snow Leopard and do NOT want to upgrade to OS Lion.
I've tried the iCloud route but it just creates an extra set of "@me.com" calendars under the "On My Mac" calendars - it is not syncing the "On My Mac" calendars themselves (and I want to use the "On My MAc" calendars as the master dataset (the 'Truth database' to use an Apple term!).
... And the same happens when I try to sync my Google Calendars: another set of "@google.com" calendars appear.
Now instead of 2 calendars in iCal I have 6: 2 On My Mac calendars, 2 iCloud ones, and 2 Google ones. (This is not progress Apple!)
Hope someone can advise.
Many thanks.

Thanks Winston. I'm aware that the 'on my mac' calendar doesn't get picked up by iCloud. I'm wondering whether anyone can help with the best alternative solution for synchronisation of phone and Outlook.

ICal calendar missing after synch with iCloud

I am using OS X 10.8.5 and iCal 6.0. When I tried to synch with iCloud it initially got stuck updating the server. After force quiting the program the calendar is now gone. Is there any way to get the missing calendar back?

I have had exactly the same problem - clearly a common problem Apple should be looking at preventing?! Is there any way I can safely activate iCloud calendars etc once I've restored my backed up calendar without everything being erased again? Any help much appreciated, thanks

Why does a particular iCal calendar appear on Mac but not iPad?

I use several calendars within the iCal application ( personal, business, etc.)
All of those calendars sync between my Mac and iPad just fine, except one,... it's a football schedule i named 'Buckeye.'
All my calendars, including Buckeye, appear in the drop down menu on both my Mac as well as my iPad. Why won't this Buckeye calendar appear on my iPad?
Caveat:
This Buckeye calendar happens to be a 'subscription' calendar. The others are all 'normall calendars which I key in manually.

Thanks for your help... here's the link:

My iCal calendar no longer syncs with my iPhone

I bought an iPhone and an iMac just recently. For the last two weeks they have been syncing whenever they ar both in the same WiFi network. But latrely, they no longer sync when I change something in either calendar. Any idea why? They are both still connecting to my home WiFi network.

OK. Problem seems to have gone away when I started iTunes on the iMac. I'm real new to the iPhone and to Imac (a couple weeks). Does iTunes have to be running on the iMac in order for sync to take place?
