Repeat all events of a calendar

Hi there,
Does anybody know a way to set all events of a calendar to get repeated every year? (With the help of apple script or sth. else??)
Thanks

Hi,
It's pretty straightforward with Applescript. This script was written in OSX 10.8.3.
-- John Maisey -- www.nhoj.co.uk -- 25 Mar 2013
set myCal to "YOUR CALENDAR TITLE"
-- Change the above line to your calendar's title.
tell application "Calendar"
          tell calendar myCal
                    set recurrence of events to "FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1"
          end tell
end tell
Copy the above script into an Applescript Editor window, change the text between the quotes in the set myCal... line to the calendar name and press Run.
Best wishes

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.

Add alerts to all events in certain calendar at once

tell application "Calendar"

          repeat with myEvent in events of calendar "Celtics Schedule 2012-2013"

All events in my calendar has disappeared

All events in my calendar have disappeared?

Hi Chloe Mary,
Your issue with Calendar certainly sounds alarming - all the events disappearing would bother me too! There are a few things you might check to see if they can fix this.
First, are these event only local to the computer? If not, you may only have to reconnect to the server providing the calendar service in order to get them back. For example, if using iCloud for your calendar server you might use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
as well as -
iCloud: Advanced Calendar and iCal troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4337
That last article may also assist you if your calendar is strictly local to your device.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

How to Make All Events in One Calendar Have Alerts Automatically

I am a college student majoring in engineering, which means I always have lots of homework due at various times. So to help me keep better track of when my assignments are due, I have started putting the due dates into my calendar. The only problem with that is every time I enter in a new event I have to set up an alert for that particular event. This is extremely annoying having to do this for each assignment. What I am wondering is there a way to make it so that every event in my "Homework" Calendar sends me an alert two hours before the event starts? I know you can make it so that all events send you an alert, but I just want this one calendar to automatically send alerts for it's events. Any help is greatly appreciated!

'Twas simple, but problem was my lack of knowledge how winhelp is built.
I needed to Update (synchronizae) document after I linked it and built proper topics and link them with proper document section.

All events in one calendar are not displayed

I have two gcalendars. On my iphone I have caldev set to sync both calendars to ical on the iphone. On one of the calendars, *some but not all* of the events do not display. I tried doing a search and they don't display. I verified that I was looking at the correct year for the date that they should display.
The missing events display normally if I go to Gcal on my desktop computer, and with the iphone using the web version of gcal.
Why would events show up on Gcal web but not all of those events via Gcal caldav?
Message was edited by: rick wintomac

Yes. I tried changing the setting to Sync All Events (instead of the time limited sync) and let it refresh. No change. No display
I also tried rescheduling the event by one hour on the same day (no other changes), then save. No change. No display.
I ended up deleting the events and re-entering them, with identical information (including the recurring end date, remarks, etc., you name it), and then the events appeared like the rest of them in the same calendar.
I'd still like to know if there is a solution to the original problem. I'm still concerned that other events, maybe in the other calendar as well, are no appearing and it's impossible to rely on a sample or to verify every event.
Thanks for your assistance.

Making a list of all events in one calendar?

Is there any way to ask iCal to generate a list of all events and ToDo's from a given calendar?
iSync doesn't really support multiple calendars when syncing to Palm OS devices: all events created on the Palm are put into one specified calendar (in my case, it's called "FromPalm"). This means I occasionally need to go into iCal and manually move all of the events and tasks in "FromPalm" to whichever calendar they belong in. The problem is: how do I find all of these events, other than by scrolling through my calendar week-by-week looking? If iCal would show me a list -- like it does for search results --, I could just click on them one-by-one and move each to its proper calendar...

Hi Mike,
In the calendar list de-select (un-tick) every calendar apart from your "FromPalm" calendar. Click on the Show Search Results buttom (the one with three dots and lines in the lower right of the window), you should have a list of every event in your "FromPalm" calendar.
To move several of these events to another calendar quickly, Command-Click the events in the list you want put into a particular calendar. Then Control-Click one of the list that you have selected and choose Calendar and then the calendar you have selected. All the events selected should then be moved.

TS3999 All events disappeared from Calendar on iPad.

Tried resetting, tried off and back on, still no events for this month or months past. Any other ideas out there?

Hi stoney121974!
I use my calendar all the time, so I know how important this data is! Let's do some troubleshooting. Since you mentioned that it's set up to sync with your Google calendar, I went to my references to research, and found some troubleshooting steps for you. Please review the information below.
• do you see the name of the calendar in the list on the left-hand side (LHS) of your screen?
• if so, does it have a coloured square beside it?
• if it doesn't, try clicking on the name of the calendar. Do your events now show up on your calendar?
• if you don't see the name of the calendar on the LHS, please click on the 'cog' and go in to Settings | Calendars.
• do you see the name of the calendar there? If so, please make sure there is a 'check mark / tick' in the 'Show in list' column. When you go back to your calendar, do you now see your calendar in the list, and events in the calendar?
Please let me know, thanks!

List of all events in a calendar?

Is there a way to get a list of all events in a selected calendar?

Larrry,
Uncheck all of the calendars except the one that you want to see all of the events, and type " in the "Search" field. All of the events will be revealed (Listed) in the resultant search pane.

Why do all events in my calendar show up a day early?

All of my events, birthdays, appointments, etc., show up on my calendar a day before they are supposed to occur. Birthdays are pulled from my contacts and in my contacts the date shows up correctly, but they all show up a day early in the actual calendar. The holiday information is automatically pulled as well and each holiday also shows up in the calendar one day early. Why does it do this and how can I fix it?

Connect your iPhone to you computer with the iPhone's USB connector. If iTunes doesn't sutomatically launch, open iTunes.
In the left hand column of the iTunes window, under Devices, your iphone should be listed. Click on it, and a Summary Window on about your iPhone will appear.
Just below the Apple at the top center of the iTunes window you'll see "Summary, Info, Apps, Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Photos". Click on Info. You'll see options to check like Sync Contacts, Calendars, Mail, Other, and Advanced. Check the options you want to sync. Do the same for Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Photos.
Then Click on the Summary button. Under the Backup heading, make sure Backup to iCloud is checked. Then you might have to click the Sync button in the bottom right corner of the iTunes Window (not sure about this last one).
Good luck.

I lost all events in my calendar. Can I restore from I Cloud?

I was using ICloud and had events listed twice on my calendar. One showing ICloud. I tried to fix it and have lost most recent events.I had my calendar on my IPhone. Is there anyway to restore from I Cloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Possibly not, many people trying to restore lost calendars and contacts have found that restoring from a phone back up doesn't help.

Calendar not syncing all events, and limited search?

I noticed that the search function on the iPhone only searches a year forward (and/or a year back). Does anyone know whether there's a way to extend that?
Also: I have iTunes set to sync ALL events in the calendar (I've unchecked the time-limitation box under the "info" section in iTunes); however, scrolling back in my iPhone, I see nothing prior to 1997 -- even though iCal has stuff going back to 1993.
Naturally, this isn't a major problem. I don't really NEED to have these old, old events accessible on my phone. But it bothers me that they're not syncing, even though I've specifically requested that they do. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi. I wanted to post this to say that I do consider this limitation a problem. I am far more likely to want the search feature to find some event or message that is old. Today, we were trying to remember where we had our first anniversary dinner. That doesn't show up in my iPhone search; I have to come back home to the desktop. I hope they will fix this. It's time the iPhone had at least the same search capabilities that my Palm Treo had 6 years ago!

Adjusting all events by one hour?

Is there any easy way to push back the events of a single calendar by one hour? For example: I have a calendar on CST that I want to move to EST, but I really don't want to change each even individually.
Also, while I'm asking-- is there a script or something that lets your prune the beginning/end of event titles?
Thanks

Hi,
To move all events of one calendar, take a look at my Offset iCal Events applescript on this page.
If you want to move events between timezones, you should look into using timezone support in iCal.

Can I switch calendars (Ex. "night shift" to "day shift" cal) with a repeating event, but ONLY for that one event?? It asks "for all events or only this event" if i change the time. But it changes ALL events when i try and switch calendars. Any help??

I have 2 calendars set up for my work schedule, a "night shift" and "day shift" calendar. I've set up repeating events fro Fri/Sat/Sun 3-11pm "night shifts" and Mon/Tues 7am-3pm "day shifts". But lets say for example that I swap shifts and instead of working nights on Saturday like I normally would, I am now working days. I want to change that in my calendar. When I go to change the event, if i change the TIME it asks if i want to change all event or ONLY this event. no problem....just this single event. but when i go to change the event from the "night shift" calendar to the "day shift" calendar, it changes ALL the repeating events, and not just that one single event. can anyone help with this??? am i doing something wrong? is there a way to do this or not with the new iCal program??? i used to do this and never had any problems. Thank you!

You need to follow iPhoto terms since we only know what you tell us
what are you calling folders - in iPhoto folders can not hold photos - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
The basic default view of photo is by event (iPhoto '08 and later)
Exactly what you you trying to do?

The calendar sync is recently not working correctly, not display "All events" but it only displays the last six months for my individual entries. My repeating entires do go back further, though. How do I fix?

I have an iPad 5.1.1. The calendar sync has started to not work correctly. I have it checked "All events," but it only displays the last two months for my individual entries. My repeating entires do go back further, though. How do I fix?

HI Jason269. Thanks for your reply, however I wrote that I already have "All events" checked. If All Events is checked and it doesn't diaplay all events, how do I fix? It seems this is a common issue, as I have read many others on here state the same problem.
I believe my problem occurred when I synced my iMac calendar to my iPad calendar using yahoo. Yesterday, I unsynced them on my iMac controls. When I checked my iPad calendar, all of my old entries reappeared - but only for five seconds and disappeared again. So, the data is saved and still there but cannot be displayed, even when I have All events checked. In fact, it only shows my individual entries for the last two months, but does show all my recurring entries. If I switched to last six months, I will see everything for the last six months. If I switch back to all events, it is only for the last two months.
As I mentioned, others on here have expressed exactly the same issue, including the two month example and having used yahoo.
For legal purposes, I need to be able to use the information from my indidual calendar entries in an upcoming court case. So I really need to fix this ASAP!
