Repeating events: have title option to auto add subsequent

I'm having more and more scheduling of clients on packages that are 8, 12, 24 weeks, etc.
It would so helpful to have the option to auto assign a subsequent number for each title in the
repeat title where "John Doe X" is the title in your iCAL:
03/27/13: John Doe 1 10AM
04/03/13: John Doe 2 10AM
04/10/13: John Doe 3 10AM
04/17/13: John Doe 4 10AM
04/24/13: John Doe 5 10AM
05/01/13: John Doe 6 10AM
05/08/13: John Doe 7 10AM
05/15/13: John Doe 8 10AM
I need to track many clients and when looking at iCal it is so helpful to instantly know
client x is on his/her 4th session right from the iCal title.
I have been making this change manually and having to say "No" make this change for
just this current event, not the future or past ones. So it's unnecessarily time consuming
and cumbersome.
I will post to feeback of course, but mention it here incase someone has a workaround or
others feel the same and wish to communicate to Apple how this would help you in your work.
Thanks,
Steven

Invited to a repeating event - have to accept EACH time!

I have been invited to an event that happens five days a week (i.e. the weekdays). For some reason I have to accept each occurrence and I have never had the option to just accept all. This is getting pretty frustrating and time-consuming. How do I just accept all?
Thanks!

Greetings Sarah,
It sounds like the sender of the event is sending you 1 invite per occurrence rather than sending you a single event which is set to repeat. If the event was set to repeat you would only be prompted one time to accept.
Here is how you can tell:
If the invite shows a unique date for each and every invitation, then they are in fact sending you a single invite for each and every event.
--- If this is what you see then you need to contact the sender of the event and request that they set their event to repeat, rather than making multiple unique events. iCal does not have an "accept-all" button (which would be a very bad thing if you had a list of 20 invites and hit this hypothetical button by mistake).
If the invite shows the same date over and over (March 3rd, March 3rd, March 3rd, etc.) then something is wrong with iCal.
--- Reply back and we can suggest steps to take.
Hope that helps.

ICal repeat event issues

I feel like I'm missing something when using the calendar app... When creating a repeat event, the only options are weekly, monthly, yearly... I need to have an event repeat every third Saturday, along with events that require on Tuesday's and thursdays. Without having to individually type them in, how can I get it to do what I want?

I tried a few different repeats and they all worked here. One suggestion try a repeat on an event that is not an all day event. Does that make a difference?
Also try a different calendar, again any change? Finally you should make a new user, log in as that user and try it. This way you can try to isolate it to see if it is something in your environment or if it is system wide.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== all the time

Here is the answer: Not an add on or plug-in! In fact you can get rid of all those useless plugins and add-ons! Go and get it. Im using the Alpha version right now and it works great. Works better then anything else .......add multiple links for all files sit back and relax. Its all done for you with no more intervention on your part! Check it out!

Only one downside to this. No proper installer. You will have to copy the files to your respective programs folder.
C:\Program Files\FreeRapid or C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeRapid
Then create shortcuts to your desktop from FRD app. Thats it then start downloading!
By the way this not an add. I just spent the whole night looking for the solution to this problem because I was so frustrated with the whole thing. I download tons of files and I have lots of other projects going and I dont have time for all this nonsense with RapidShare and Firefox. Hope this helps some other poor souls out there!

Can I add non regular repeating events in the default Calendar?

Hello,
I've recently been using the Calendar app to try to keep track of my increasingly hectic work schedule. One of my jobs is easy to add as it's on the same day each week, so I can just use the repeating events menu. The other two can be any day of the week, but always the same hours, so if I'm cleaning it's always 8.30 to 14.30, but it can Monday, Wednesday and Thursday this week, Tuesday and Thursday the next, just Monday the next, you get the idea.
What I'd like to do is to be able to add an event called 'cleaning' or 'bar work' to a specific day and have the calendar know that means it needs to block off 8.30 to 14.30 or 20.00 to midnight. It can take me 15 minutes some weeks to enter my work schedule into my phone as it is, and if I'm interrupted while I'm doing it then I have no idea which days I haven't entered yet.
Is this something I can do in the Calendar app? If not, is there another app I can do this in, or at least cut the process down in some way? I've tried looking at other calendar apps, but it doesn't seem to a feature they advertise if they do have it.
Thanks in advance

The iPhone/iPad version of iCal doesn't have this option, but the Mac desktop version does (assuming you use a Mac). Follow the directions below and then sync your device with your Mac and the repeating event will appear in your mobile device.
Open iCal on the desktop. Make a new event. Double click on the event and then click "edit." Change the repeat option to "Custom..." Select frequency as "monthly." Click the bottom radio button that says "on the" to enable you to set which day to repeat on. Close the event info window and then sync your device.
I hope they enable this option in the mobile software soon. It is a glaring omission for a calendar program.
P.S., sorry, I just noticed you didn't include a Mac in your hardware list. I don't know how you'd accomplish this with Windows. Maybe this post will help someone else, though.

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I experienced this issue as well.
Background:
I had opened an ICS attachment for a repeating event on my iPhone, which added the item to my phone's calendar. I did not have the option to delete the calendar entry from my phone, and the item did not appear on the calendar on my Mac. My phone is currently running iOS 7 (but the problem began quite awhile ago; I don't recall which version of iOS was installed when it started).
Solution (summary):
Create a new calendar, move the items that you wish to delete to the new calendar, then delete the new calendar
Solution (detailed steps):
Create a new calendar
On your phone, open the calendar app
Tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the "Add Calendar..." option
Give your new calendar a good name, such as "Delete me"
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the new calendar
Tap "Done" in the top left corner to finish editing the list of calendars
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars
Assign all calendar entries that you wish to delete to the calendar you created in step 1
Tap a calendar entry that you wish to delete
Tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner
Scroll down until you see the Calendar field (on an iPhone or iPod it's usually just below the bottom of the screen), then tap the Calendar field to bring up the list of available calendars
Tap the name of the calendar that you created in step 1 (e.g. "Delete me"); the screen should return to the main calendar entry page
Tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen. You may need to then tap the "< Day" button on the top left of the screen to return to the main calendar view
Repeat the instructions in step 2 for each of the calendar entries that you wish to delete
Delete the calendar that you created in step 2 (this will delete all calendar entries assigned to this calendar)
From the main screen in the calendar app, tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Tap the entry for the calendar that you created in step 2 (e.g. "Delete me")
Scroll to the bottom of the scren and tap the "Delete Calendar" option. You should be prompted with a warning that explains that "All events associated with this calendar will also be deleted."
If you're sure that the only items on this calendar are items that you wish to delete, tap the "Delete Calendar" button
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to exit the Edit Calendars screen
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars. You should now be back at the main view of the calendars app
Rejoice, your pesky repeating calendar events have been deleted
At this point all of the items that you assigned to the deleted calendar should be gone
Repeat the steps above for any entries that you missed
Post another message to this thread if this did not resolve your problem

How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices

How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices.

Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

If I have a repeating event in iCal, can I attach different docs, pdfs, etc., do the events. I am entering lessonplans and want each date to have an attachment.

Yes. As you edit each one, you will get a dialog asking whether you want to change all or just the current one.

I currently have 30,000 photos in my i photo library in300 events. Ientally ad. I add photos each day to different events over many years. Currently I download my photos on one of my 6 MacBooks , and eventually I synch the photos to my phone

i have 30,000 photos in 300 events in I photo.
i Add photos each day into different events
i have to manually add the photos into one of my 5 MacBooks , synch to my phone and then synch each device to have all my photos be up to date with each event
is there now a way to add photos to my 30,000 photo library on just one device anfd have all my devices synched perfectly through the cloud into events exactly as it appears on my first device ...like our contacts or other synched items on the cloud?
it is critical that the events are maintained and the photos go exactly into place?
photo stream is not the answer
thanks

Hi Terence:
so that sounds like better news...I should be OK when this happens?
Essentially my events become albums...I still have the separation ..correct?
Why would this be a problem?
This was a response from an earlier post from Vanoord that concerned me: quote..see next-
Events has been removed from Photos - it's replaced by 'Moments'.
'Moments' are like 'Events', but split up by the software and you have no control over what goes where, or what they're called. If you've got 300 Events now, you can look forward to about 3,000 'Moments'.
This response implies that all my 300 events will become separated into thousands of moments. What does this mean? Is this true?
Won't my Events just become albums as you suggested?
I have years of events that have accumulated and collated photos. They must stay separated.
****the other thing I was unclear about was the synching part..
Example:
I have 300 albums with 30K photos distributed in various numbers in each album ( used to be events according to your response)
I add some photos in each album each day
I set all my devices to the cloud etc...
the cloud synchs from my designated "source" Macbook...
the cloud sees this and uploads
then the confusing part...the other devices ( MacBooks, I pad, i phone) all will see the synch and can then be designated to download to each device in the original form as we view it on a Macbook or i phone? What does "full resolution" or optimized previews mean as Leonie replied above?
I need my JPEG images for my education keynote presentations and e mailing images as required from each event as needed ( soon to be albums)
Thanks again...just want to understand what is going to happen

Spotlight Searches in Lion no longer have "title/content" option in Finder?

Hi:
I upgraded to Lion and notice that when I use spotlight to search I no longer have the option on the top bar for choosing either "contents" or "title" in finder. The option for current directory or "this Mac" still is there, but not the other. Can I restore that option? Or is it gone forever? Thank you in advance !

I noticed the same thing. Please help! Searching by "title" is extremely useful. There should at least be a shortcut for searching by title (a la wildcard searches in Google using the asterisk).

I have two options in my apple contacts. And I chose to not expose my hotmail contacts to limit the length of my list. Now whenever I add someone they get saved to my hotmail contact list, rather than iCloud. How do I change this?

Need a new Calendar 'Repeat Event' option

The most common 'Repeat Event' option that I use is for meetings best described as "The second Thursday in each month" or "The third Wednesday of each month".
I can find no way to enter this repeat.
I am using the iPhone Calendar as my sole Calendar. (I.e. I do not synch it to a PC Calendar.)
Can anyone tell me how to enter such a repeat? Thanks.

As Ian said, it cannot be done on the iPhone, but if you are synced to anothyer calendar with that capability, such as Outllok, then you do it there and the dates sync across.
You can also request that Apple consider implementing the feature by going here http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Have Design Standard, want to add Flash. Options?

Hi. I am interested in working with Flash. I was planning on adding it when upgrading to CS5, but for all I know that could be the fall, and I would prefer to get into it asap.
As far as I am able to tell I have three options -
1) $799 Upgrade to Design Premium - is there any way to pick this up for the difference in package price? I understand doubling the upgrade price encourages Premium sales up front, but, c'mon! I have seen copies on eBay for slightly less, but not much.
2) $699 Flash Standalone - Pointless, as an extra $100 also buys Dreamweaver and Fireworks.
3) Buy Design Premium, Sell Design Standard - I have seen (apparently) legit copies of Design Premium on eBay for ~$750, and it seems as though copies of Design Standard sell for ~$500. This is the least expensive option. Is there any reason I couldn't sell our copy of Design Standard? I imagine it can be 'deactivated' or maybe the license can be transferred? I don't know, I haven't dealt with this before.
Is there is anything I am overlooking? Any options I am unaware of? What would you do? Any help is most appreciated, thanks!

I have the same issue and haven't found any real shortcuts regarding pricing. However, in my case, I'm willing to wait for CS5, be it April or October, or whatever, and upgrade at that time.
Your third option may have some difficulties. If you upgrade to Premium I don't believe you can go out and sell your Standard edition, legally. Licenses usually are transferred during an upgrade - you don't pick up an "extra" license when upgrading. That's my laymen's understanding.
