Repeating Events

Has 10.5.3 fixed the issue where the web interface doesn't seem to understand repeating events set in iCal? Better yet: does it allow you to set an event as repeating in the web interface?

Solved the problem with a delete and recreation of the event. No clue why it repeated endlessly.

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?

High school block schedule repeating events

I'm a high school teacher looking forward to the upcoming fall schedule. I teach at a school where even period and odd period classes are taught on alternate days and I teach only odd schedule classes. So, one week the class is taught on Mon, Wed, Fri and the next week it is Tu and Th except for weeks that have holidays. What is the best way to use repeating events and make up the schedule for this semester (ending 1/28/08 so I also know at a glance what days I'm available to substitute for other instructors?

Deleting a single instance of a repeating event deletes the series

Has anyone noticed that deleting a single instance of a repeating event (e.g. deleting tomorrow's occurrence of a regular, weekly meeting) deletes the entire series? This is when using the calendar via the iCloud.com website. I've had this happen at least 3 times.
Configuration:
Ubuntu Linux 10.10
Google Chrome 12.0.742.91

This happens without iCloud when you sync your calendar to MS Outlook/Exchange - it always deletes the whole series and makes it so I can never delete items from iPhone or iPad. IOS calendar is pretty lousy - won't let you edit things like the reminder time or location of the meeting, etc. when it comes through sync with Outlook/Exchange.
Wish Apple would actually make their calendar app useful or let a third party release a better one. Same goes for managing Tasks. E-mail is pretty good, but Calendar and Task management is lousy. And we don't even get to rate these apps like we do 3rd party apps.

Is there any way to customize a repeat event in iCal on my iPad?

On my old MacBook, I was able to customize a repeat event, I.e., plan a recurring event for the first Thursday of every month, as opposed to the first of every month. I am attempting to switch to my new iPad, and cannot seem to find the function in iCal where I can do this. Is there a way of doing this on the iPad? Or is the iPad less useful in this way too?

You can't customize events like you can in iCal on the Mac - so using your words, I would say that the iPad is less useful in that regard.

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.

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.

I am unable to cut repeat events on iCal.

When I try to cut repeat events from iCal they either go and re-appear or just don't go at all, they then keep repeating more often finsihing with the same event up to 10 or more times on the day.

The iPhone OS does not have any copy and paste functionality in it. Apple is well aware of this but they believed that there were many more important features to implement before it.
However, the most recent version of the developer kit has references to cut and paste, so we may see that feature when iPhone 2.1 (as opposed to 2.01) is released.

Problems with Repeating Events on Palm and iCal

Hi,
I'm having a problem with daily-repeating events entered into either my Palm or iCal. When I put events in my palm and sync them to iCal, the iCal calendars look right, but then the Palm events become truncated,i.e. only the first day of daily event will be visible. If I do nothing but just sync again, the events in iCal become weirdly duplicated, i.e. if an event had two repeats, the "original" occurrance will be there, along with a second, starting on next day of the series, lasting for the same number of repeats. Is there any way to make one calendar the overwriting calendar while using iSync? Or do you know of some other fix? This problem doesn't seem to affect other repeating events, either monthly or yearly.
Thanks

As I just posted in another thread, there are a whole series of 'representation disconnects' between the Palm calendaring application and iCal.
While this article— iSync: About Syncing Recurrent Events Between iCal and Palm OS Based Devices—would lead to you believe that iSync is primarily the issue, it's not: this behavior occurs primarily because of the differences between the calendaring programs in each environment, and only secondarily because of the manner in which records are pushed and pulled by the synchronization framework.
iSync itself is simply another compliant sync client, and there is unfortunately no workaround for the issues delineated in the article.

Calendar 7.0 does not alert me on monthly repeating events

SInce upgrading to an Intel Core i5 desktop running OS 10.9.2, my calendar does not alert me
to monthly repeating events. Especially irritating because I rely on it to pay my bills on time.
Checking settings today, I notice that Alerts is only set to my iCloud account. But both
iCloud and my email are listed under 'accounts.'
After resetting alerts to 'I tried switching off the iCloud account but on reopening
Calendat it defauled to iCLoud again. I tried switching off iCloud but then ALL my
Calendar listings disappeared! So obviously my Calendar sits on iCloud but refuses
to alert me to monthly events.
Help!
Thanks,
Ramon

I just successfully created an event called "Good Saturday" for today (Saturday). It was not a day long event - only an hour long event.
I created a "Good Saturday" day long event for next Saturday and that succeeded.
So I conclude the issue you are seeing must be with the calendar account(s) you are using.
I also run the same build of calendar you have.

Repeating event sync

I, and a couple other folks I know, have encountered a problem where changes to repeating events made on an iDevice running ios 6.x do not sync properly with iCloud and thus other devices or Macs.
If I edit a single instance of a repeating event on my iPhone 4S or iPad Mini to, say, change the time by an hour for that instance only, it show up properly on the iDevice on which I made the change, but the change never appears in iCloud and thus other devices.
If I edit all future instances of a repeating event on my phone or iPad to change the time by an hour for all future instances, it creates future instances at the new time, but never deletes the originals, so I end up with duplicated events in iCloud and thus on other devices.
If I enter or edit repeating events in iCloud or on my Mac, everything syncs properly across all devices.
I have tried cycling Calendar sync off/on on ios 6 settings and I have tried completely deleting and then signing back into my icloud account on the ios devices with no change in behavior.
I'm certain this problem did not arise until ios 6. I have found several forum references to this problem with respect to Google Calendar syncing, but haven't found references to iCloud syncing.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? I'm wondering if it is related to the Exchange sync bug that was introduced in ios 6. Regardless, it's making a mess of my workflow to not be able to make changes to repeating events on my iPhone or iPad. Changes to all non-repeating events sync fine.

@Soonsay,
Is the repeating event by any chance an all-day event? If so, how did you specify when it ends? I've noticed this problem with all-day events, but it doesn't occur for all repeating all-day events. I once opened an all-day event in iCal and specified that it should repeat ending on a certain day. This displayed properly on the Mac, but included the day after the ending-on day on the iPhone.

Repeating event not allowing to edit single event

I have a repeating event set for every week, but for one of the weeks I wanted to change to calendar and time of the particular event. Normally, I get a box that asks if I would like to save for this event only or for all following events. I have not been getting this box and it is editing all of the events in the series. It was working fine this morning :/ I've restarted my phone already.

I tried getting rid of duplicates in FontBook. I tried deleteing the iCal.plist file and restarting my mac. Nothing works. I can not edit any entry in any way except to drag it to a new place. I also can't open iCal Preferences. I have iCal 4.0.1 - is that the current version?

Repeated events duplicate in iCal if modified on iOS

I'm posting a more generalized version of this question (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2603361&tstart=0); encountering the same issue on an iPod Touch syncing over USB would seem to indicate that neither MobileMe nor anything specific to an iPhone is at fault. My apologies if this is in violation of this forum's rules of etiquette.
Here's how I phrased it on the Feedback page, where I submitted a bug report regarding this issue:
If a repeating event is created in Calendar on iPod Touch (4.2.1), then synced to iCal using iTunes (USB cable sync, rather than MobileMe), then edited on the iPod Touch (i.e. the date or time is changed for all future events), then the iPod Touch is synced again, this will result in two repeating events in iCal on the Mac: one that reflects the changed version of the event, and one that is the original version of the event, each following their own repeating schedule. Please advise as to possible solutions.
Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated. She's got an iMac mid-2008 running 10.5.8, iCal 3.0.8, iTunes 10.1.1, and her iPod Touch is a fourth-gen running 4.2.1. She's quite angry about this issue, and I fear she's about to give up on Apple entirely as a result.

Am facing the same issue with an iPad; but this is not the first time I've seen this happen. It has also happened when syncing from iCal to a Blackberry Curve via Blackberry Desktop Manager. Any repeated events - and not just from the iOS side of things - ANY repeated events cause this to happen.
iCal has the correct number of events and times, but as soon as you sync to another device, it becomes unusable. My wife runs a cleaning business where she constantly has to rearrange schedules for repeating customers. As soon as she does it once, she's got 2 copies of the same. Change the event twice, and suddenly she has 4 copies.
Please help.

In repeating events , in the calendar app of Iphone or Ipad,

In repeating events , in the calendar app of Iphone or Ipad, How can I stipulate for egsample: "every second tuesday of the month " or even every last monday of every second month..
These selections work in the Google Calendar. but I cannot find the way to do it in the standard ipad or iphone calendar
all I can find to select are "Monthly , weekly , . I want to be able to select "day of the week " or "day of the month" Thanks ,
Victor

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.

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
