Recurring 'Custom' appointments in Calendar

How do I create recurring appointments such as, 'the second and forth Thursday of each month or the first Thursday of each quarter.  I'm in healthcare and this is frequently the format used for scheduling hospital meetings. Before iOS7, this was a 'Custom' appointment section beyond The Recurring button. I cannot figure out how to do in iOS7. What am I missing or was this feature removed? I use the iPad4 and iPhone 5.

Apparently, it's not possible in the Calendar App any more. I guess you'll have to set it up in the Calendar app in OSX or however you sync calendars. I'm surprising that's gone, it must have not been noticed in the seeding process. Or it was, and the software designers decided that no one cared.
I would suggest mentioning it here:

I'm going to do it, cause that's annoying.

  • ITunes changing date of recurring Outlook appointments during sync

    I have had intermittent problems syncing recurring Outlook appointments since I got my iPhone 3G. I have a pc running Vista and Outlook 2007 and iTunes 10.1.0.54 and iOS 4.2.1. iTunes used to sync some all-day events and make them 11pm to 11pm the starting the previous day on my iPhone. It wasnt all, just some, having something to do with the numerical equivalent of the anniversary date. I spent a lot of time e-mailing apple engineers to get it fixed. It was fixed and worked for a while and then after an iTunes update broke again and started moving some all-day events to the previous day on my iPhone. Luckily it was fixed the next day. Everything was fine again for a while and now with the new iTunes update it is broken again. Some all-day events on my outlook sync to the previous day on my iPhone. If I look at my contacts on the phone(and my pc) the birthday will be correct, e.g. 10/7/1948, but if I look at the calendar on my phone, the birthday will show on October 6, even though Outlook shows a recurring appointment on October 7.

    I don't have a lot of confidence in Apple either when it comes to sync-ing.
    And ... yeah ... "You would think" ... it could be tested a little more cleverly ... (of course that's a dangerous way to start a sentence when you are discussing the behavior of a large corporation or government ;-/ )
    There was a comment on another thread that one of the recent Microsoft security patches to Outlook caused the issue but I have no detail on that and have not seen any collaboration.
    I watch the sync. process on my machine and it goes through "sync-ing the calendar" but ... does NOTHING. If it can't sync correctly "you would think" it would at least have the courtesy to warn that it was falling down on the job but ... nope it doesn't see to do so...
    Not sure that as end-users we have any tools that can help in the debug:

  • Desktop Manager Synchronizes Multiple (30 plus) Entries of my Recurring Annual Appointments

    I am utilizing Desktop Manager 4.7 with my Pearl 8110.  When performing a synchronization, the process is synchronizing over 35,00 (35K) entries in calendar because it is processing multiple (over 30 years worth) of recurring annual appointments such as birthdays.  I have limited the scope of the sync to "0 days prior & 365 days after today" but to no avail.  Any suggestions much appreciated.

    honestly : "you don't want to know".

  • Customer Exit for Calendar Month based on the day (system Date)

    Hello,
    I need help in creating a customer exit for Calendar month without the user input. The logic is as follows:
    For the BEx variable created with customer exit option and no user input:
    If the day on the system date falls in between 1 to 14 take the calendar year/month value as previous month.
    If the day on the system date falls in between 15 through 31 then take the calendar year/month as current month.
    eg if report is run on March 24th2009 the calendar year/month variable should be calculated as 03/2009 (March 2009)
    if the report is run on March 1st2009 the calendar year/month should be calculated as 02/2009 (Feb 2009).
    The code should be effective when run in the first 15 days of Jan when the previous month would contain the previous year as well.
    Thank You
    Srishti

    Thanks Shanthi. I am trying to incorporate the logic when the query is run in beginning of Jan when the year should be the previous year.Following is the code.please let me know if it would work. Is there a way I can test it as well?
    CASE I_VNAM.
    WHEN 'ZCURCALMON'.
    IF i_step = 2.
    data: mm(2),
            dd(2),
            yy(4),
            FM(6).
    if sy-datum+4(2) EQ 1.
    sy-datum(4) = sy-datum(4) - 1.
    else.
    sy-datum(4) = sy-datum(4).
    endif.
    if sy-datum+6(2) LE 15.
      mm = sy-datum+4(2) - 1.
      concatenate sy-datum(4) mm into FM.
    else.
      concatenate sy-datum(4) sy-datum+4(2)  into FM.
    endif.
    l_s_range-low = FM.
    l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
    l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
    append l_s_range to e_t_range.
    Endif.
    ENDCASE.

  • Recurring even in the calendar

    How do you add a recurring event in the calendar that is schedule such as the last Tuesday of the month, or the 3 Thursday of the month?

    Hi,
    Per my understanding, you might want to get all the recurring events within a specific month using C#.
    Here is working code demo about getting recurring events by month for your reference:
    public static void getRecurringEvents()
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sp"))
    using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
    SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
    query.ExpandRecurrence = true;
    query.Query = "<Where><DateRangesOverlap><FieldRef Name=\"EventDate\" /><FieldRef Name=\"EndDate\" />" +
    "<FieldRef Name=\"RecurrenceID\" /><Value Type=\"DateTime\">" +
    "<Month />" +
    "</Value></DateRangesOverlap></Where>";
    //get the events in the specific months
    query.CalendarDate = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1);
    SPListItemCollection calendarItems = web.GetList("/Lists/Calendar1").GetItems(query);
    foreach (SPListItem item in calendarItems)
    Console.WriteLine(item["Title"] + ": starts "
    + item["EventDate"].ToString() + " and ends "
    + item["EndDate"].ToString());
    It will return all the recurring events of last month:
    Thanks

  • TS3999 Why can't I delete a recurring event on my calendar?  Every time I delete it, it show up again within a few minutes.

    Why can't I delete a recurring event on my calendar?  Every time I delete it, it show up again within a few minutes.

    Thank you for your prompt response.
    I did take a look at the Jira issue you referenced. It suggests that the MediaPlayer be set to null in the MediaView after the last media file has been played and nullify the MediaPlayer reference. However, all this relies on GC to cleanup the resources. (In fact, the sample code in Jira shows a call to System.gc(), which, I understand, is not guaranteed to run immediately.)
    All the same, I tried the suggestion, but it didn't help my situation. So I am stuck with my alternative.
    It is rather disheartening that there is not a clear cut API for cleaning up media resources when you are done, instead of being dependent on GC.
    Thanks again.

  • What happened to custom dates in calendar?

    There used to be a "custom" choice in calendar for 3rd Tuesday, etc.  I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know whether it still works, or where it moved?

    Make sure that your custom ringtones are NOT in your Music Library. They will not transfer or work if they are.
    The should only be in the RingTones Folder.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Diane.
    I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll.

  • AppleScript for recurring events in Outlook calendar

    I'm trying to write an AppleScript that will create a new appointment with properties that are derived from the properties of a specific appointment that is part of a recurring series in an Outlook calendar.
    Outlook 14.2.5
    AppleScript Editor version 2.3
    In the Microsoft Outlook window in the editor, the calendar event help information shows two distinct properties:
    is recurring (boolean, r/o):  Indicates whehter an event is part of a recurring series of events.    (the typo in "whehter" is actually in the help information!)
    is occurrence (boolean, r/o) : Indicates whether an event is an occurrence of a recurring series
    I don't understand the difference between these two.  If I have a series of appointment (say one meeting every day for three days), and I have selected the second appointment in that series, "is occurrence" is false, but "is recurring" is true.  What is the difference?
    My ultimate objective is to extract the start time of the specific appointment that is selected, but when I use the "start time" property of the selection (the second appointment in the series of three appointments), my script is returning the start date/time of the first appointment in the series.
    set selectedEvent to selection
    set startTime to start time of selectedEvent   <-- this is returning the start time of the first appointment in the series - not the start time of the particular occurrence that is selected in the calendar (which is what I actually want)

  • Identify conflicts in recurring Outlook appointments

    1. When booking a recurring appointment I get "some instances of this recurring appointment conflict with other appointments on your calendar".  I would like to find out where they are (the bookings may be weekly for a year).
    2. I'm still using Outlook XP (Outlook 2002) on an XP machine.  So this may have been solved years ago!
    3. I have researched this online and can't find any response other than one that says "As far as I know, outlook doesn’t offer this function" and suggests this is logged here.  There are posts on numerous forums but none of them results in any advice
    for these circumstances.
    Songwriting, computer systems application design, it's all one

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, you won’t be able to view what instances of recurring appointments are conflicting. You might have check that manually.
    Change the view to Active view and under recurrence group check which appointment has the same timing.

  • Midnight appointments on calendar

    If appointment is created close to midnight such as 11:50 and is a short duration such as 11:55 then appointment can not be opened again on iPad to edit or view information.
    This often a problem for me, I am in the limo business and make my appointments zero time, that is to say, start and end at same time.
    I need to do this to avoid confusion for drivers, I need to have customer pick up time as the appointment time rather than a span of time.
    So if I have a pick up at 3 pm, the appointment start and end time are set to 3 pm.
    This is only a problem if I get close to midnight, if I make it for 11:55 pm, I can't see it on the right side pane, and if I try and select it on the list view in the left pane, it won't open.

    I ran into this issue before. You need to switch to the Day view of the calendar, and all your appointments will show up on the right hand side of the calendar. Easy to edit whatever the time you use.
    Hope this helps you!
