Repeat events as every week, every 2 weeks, (what about every 3 weeks)

How can I get the Calendar app to let me repeat events every 3 or 4 weeks? I could do this on my "Palm One Tungsten T5 years ago!
Does anyone have a calendar program that would let me do it on a Window 7 PC?
Prefer it on the iPad or iPod touch
Thanks for any help.

This is very frustrating to me also. I have a Palm Pilot with DateBk which could do this 5 years ago. It is difficult to step back when then technology is stepping forward in so many aspects. I can custom repeat appointment through my Exchange account or Hotmail calendars and they will show up just fine on the iPad, but I would like to push the appointment back the other way. I am trying to do less with computer.
I do have Pocket Informant HD but then you have to sync it manually with Outlook and not Exchange and I still can't sync it OTA with Hotmail calendars. The default calendar is great if it could just catch up on some other fronts like the repeat function.

Is there a way to setup a repeating event for every 5th Sunday?

I want to have a repeating event for every 5th Saturday, or 5th Sunday. Is there a way of doing that. I only see options for the first, second, third, forth, or last.

Click get into on the event you have created, click repeat, and then custom. You can then choose "weekly" every (5) weeks and which day of the week to repeat it on.

Can't seem to customize repeat event for every Tu & Thu with OS 10.9.2 and iCal 7.0

Used to be able to customize events in previous versions of iCal. Now, trying to customize event for every Tue & Thu and even when I click "customize" on repeat event, only options are "daily, weekly, monthly, etc" - not really flexible.
Have tried removing p-list and restarting iCal and computer but no improvement.
Currently using OS 10.9.2 with iCal 7.0.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks,
MJ

MJ,
Where are you clicking on "customize?" Are you using the iPhone?
This is what I am presented with when choosing "repeat" on my iMac:

Can i set a repeating event for every 5 days?

Can a repeating event be set on the iPhone 5S running IOS 7.0x for an interval of less than a week but more than a day?

■ Easiest method, if you allow firefox to tabs you used then on restarting I believe it also retains the zoom settings
* '''Tools -> Options -> General -> Startup = use current pages'''
■ There are also extensions that can be used, some allow individual sites to have individual settings. Look at the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/772884 this thread] which also discusses related matters.
■ The best method if you need the same effest accross all sites is probably changing one of the preferences within the config files, it is discussed in the above linked thread and also in this MozzillaZine article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Layout.css.dpi

Calendar events showing every day

Hi all,
Recently it seems that when my Calendar app is displaying month view, every day has a little square in it - the one that indicates an event. However, about half of my days have no events at all.
I have repeating events set every eight days for four days (for my four-on four-off shift rotation) but that's about all. I'm sure I remember it used to show correctly, i.e. blocks of four with events and blocks of four without.
Anyone any ideas what's happened?
Thanks for reading

I have the same problem. With me it is only on the "Birthdays" calendar which was uploaded from iCal to my calendar server before I went with syncing with CalDAV. The daily and list formats do not show anything weird, only the monthly view. I assume it is a problem with a repeating event, but I can't find it.
I've even done a reset and reload from backup of my iPod and it did not help. Next step is probably to delete the Birthday's calendar completely on my server and see if that cures the problem. I am waiting until there is an easy way to restore it on the server.
Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Problem with published cal:repeating event Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun every 3 weeks

I have an event that repeats thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday every three weeks. I can set it up by changing my week to start on Monday. It is correct in iCal and on me.com.
Subscribers to the calendar however see the calendar wrong. They see a repeating event every Sunday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
So for this week I see the event on 7/15, 7/16, 7/17, 7/18/10.
But subscribers see it on 7/11, 7/15, 7/16, 7/17/10. So Sunday is always wrong.
Any idea how to fix this? It used to work prior to either 10.6.4 or iOS 4 or iPhone 4 screwed up my calendars. I’ve restored them but this is the only thing still broken.
Thanks!

Greetings,
Any idea how to fix this? It used to work prior to either 10.6.4 or iOS 4 or iPhone 4 screwed up my calendars. I’ve restored them but this is the only thing still broken.
Updates do not inherently break calendars. They can uncover pre-existing data corruption in a database which is why issues can be triggered by updates. Think of an update as getting your car washed. If the car's paint is already chipped or flaking, paint is going to come off when it goes through the wash. I'm glad you had backups and were able to restore your calendars.
To try and resolve your issue:
__First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
__Un-publish the calendar.
__Export the calendar holding this recurring event as an ICS file: File > Export > Export.
__Delete the calendar in question from iCal
__Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
__Once the computer is restarted, double-click the ICS you exported to re-add it.
__Re-publish the calendar
If the issue persists at this point, I would delete this recurring event and re-create it as it's entry in the iCal database may be damaged.
Hope that helps.

Repeating Events for the Fifth Week of the Month

Hello,
I am attempting to create a calendar schedule to distribute to members of my club. Each member is responsible for a certain day of the month (eg, every first monday).
iCal gives me the option to select every First, Second, Third, Fourth, or Last weekday of the month for repeating events. Did Apple forget that some months have five weeks in them, or am I really going to have to schedule events for the fifth week manually?
Thanks,
-Noel

Hi Noel,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
iCal does not have this feature.
I tried playing around by scripting the addition of events with the correct rfc2445 recurrence string, but in iCal the events were placed in the first week of the following month on months with four weeks.
If you want this feature in the future, ask Apple for it.
Best wishes

How do you set repeat events for a given day of the week

How do you set a repeat event in calender for a given day of the month. Expample 3rd Wednesday each month?

Have you read the app store guidelines yet?
App Store Review Guidelines:
http://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guidelines.html
Don't go on what you've seen in the store - for every example you spot, there are hundreds that didn't make it in.
As well, Apple is tightening up on reviews, etc.
Loads of discussion on this in the iOS Dev Forums, BTW

ICal and Calendar sync one week apart for Repeating events

Hi,
First Post here. Look forward to sticking around. I have been reading the forum avidly since I received my iphone 3g on July 11th.
So here is the issue: It is in regards to events that I created on my iphone that are scheduled to repeat each week, but then end on a certain day. This works perfectly fine in the iphone so far, but when it syncs with iCal it always ends one week earlier than on the iphone. The iphone will remain the proper date, whereas iCal ends one week early.
I won't go on longer, but has anyone else had this issue? Maybe you should double check your dates if you have any repeated events scheduled in your phone, and compare them with iCal to double check they are right.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
Cam

I guess I should have added that with Outlook, I am connect to Exchange.

Although this isn't currently possible in the iOS Calendar app, go to iCloud.com (not on your iPad, but on a computer browser like Safari or Firefox) and log in. There, you can add an event in Calendar and have the options to make it repeat however you want.

Dots (events) for every single day in calendar (NEW issue)

Ever since I upgraded to FW 2.0 I have had "dots" appear in every single day of the calendar (symbolizing events) even though I have no events for those days.
Now - I KNOW about the issue with the recurring/repeating events as well as events that "begin" after they "end." That said, I have checked EVERY single event I have in the phone and in the calendar in Outlook and NONE of the events are repeating/recurring and all of them are set up properly with correct start/end times.
From my searching, the above seems to be what's commonly known to cause this problem. Those don't fit MY problem.
The odd thing here is, if I go backward in the month view on the calendar on the phone to February, there are no dots. There are also no events. However, if I go to March on the month view in the calendar, every single day has dots (and continues). The really weird thing here is if you look at the calendar in the month view while it's on March, you can see the last week of February at the top. And in that last week, while in the "March" view, the last week of February ALL has dots. But again, if you move back to "February," all those dots that were there disappear.
So...I'm at a loss now. I've wiped the events off the phone. Edited/pruned/etc. events in the Outlook calendar, and then re-synced with the order to overwrite that which is on the phone. Still no luck. Is this a glitch that needs to be corrected with new FW? Would a restore help? I just don't really know anymore..
Thanks,
John

I am having the same issue. However, I am syncing my calendar to my work computer and the issue presented itself when I upgraded to Office 2007 from 2003. I have since removed Office '07 and did a restore to my iphone which cleared the issue. Then did a sync again to Office 2003 and the issue re-appeared. Not sure if '07 added something to my calendar that is hidden but it is very frustrating.

Can i set calendar events to four weekly?

Can I set calendar events to four weekly rather than monthly or fortnightly?

in iCal double click the new entry after you make it, and it will pop up a new window where you can edit furhter settings like the alert and repeat settings.
just choose 'repeat' and then custom, you can then choose any configuration of days , weeks etc, and on what day if you choose weekely, for example 'every 3 weeks on a wednesday'

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?

Hi, Im not a frequent forum poster, as most of my questions can be found already answered on them!
This is a question Ive had for a long time and it amazes me that no-one else seems to ask it. I check at each OS upgrade but its never there...
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?
I was able to do this years ago in MS Outlook, and utilized it all the time when I needed to push things back, now I have to open the event and select an new date in the drop-down calendar for each & every event I want to move to a new month at the end of the month.
If its definitely not possible, how to you ask apple to consider including it - it doesnt seem like a particularly difficult task.
Thankyou
Andrew.

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.

ICal freezing, glitches, events of entire week disappearing...

All the events of next week, February 6-12, disappeared. I cannot see them in week view. When I try to schedule new ones, they disappear. When I look on the week after, Feb. 13-19, the event appears there on week view (but none of the original events appear there). On day view, the events appear, but when I switch from day view to week view on Feb. 6-12, the events appear large across the whole week- very strange. This happened yesterday after I changed one of my regular events slightly to go from about 11:15 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. That particular event is scheduled to repeat everyday. When I click on that event, iCal becomes slow until I click on another event. When I try to move that event or any event connected to it, iCal becomes slow and malfunctional and won't quit. I end up having to force quit. I assume that it is connected to the scheduling of this event regularly. Also, my iCal schedule is very detailed with many events, so that's possibly related. Any ideas of how to fix this? I've tried deleting the event, restarting the computer, and checking for software updates (none were available for my computer MAC OS X 10.6.6).

Today, some things are working a little better, just barely. The main issue is still there though. I'll be doing my best to explain, and I don't know much terminology, so bear with me. Thanks for replying so promptly to my question
I took your advice on the regular events that would allow me to edit them, limiting it to end in a week. But the particular event, which repeats everyday, won't let me adjust it. When I right click on it, the options come up, but the "get info" option and others are grey so that I cannot click on it or access it to change it. And when I click on it, it remains "highlighted" and basically frozen so that I have to scroll to a different day or force quit or something. It lets me move the time/day of the event by dragging it. Even then, strange things happen, such as when I double click on it, the option to click "edit" or "done" comes up for a different event. All events only appear one calendar at a time, and only when viewing individual days.

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
