Repetitive entries in iCal

I regularly have to enter information on events that occur the same day, every week, every month between the same hours. Is there a way I can enter an event once and repeat it for as many months as I choose in the calendar year?

After you enter the event in iCal, be sure you can view the drawer with the event info.
In the event info select repeat and then set when you want it to repeat. After you have completed that you should see "end" just below "repeat" (default is never) but you can change that by selecting "never" then choosing "on date" or "after" and set your choice.
Hope this is what you are requesting !

How to rid of multiple entries in ical

How the blazes do you you get rid of MULTIPLE entries in ical? I have read many answers and printed off a few to follow them but invariably i get to a point where I am unable to take the next step! I back track and and unable to find a fault of where I went wrong!! Then I have to ask myself WHY? Why on earth am I having to go to such extreme lengths to get rid of the unwanted entries?
Come on now Apple it is you who should be providing the simple logic answer to this?
I decided to give up? just ignore the other entries it easier than going frantic trying (and anyway I am frightened I may throw the macbook in my temper)
bye bye

Hi pvonk
I do know how to delete the odd file but I have things like bank holidays entered 7 or 8 times and Trooping the colour 15 entres Queens jubilee 14 times.
I just want to stop the thing from doing that and if there is a way my question is why do I have to do it? surely apple should fix it or whatever

I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

Please always post your System details when you have a query. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

Deleting duplicate entries in iCal?

How do I delete duplicate entries in iCal (identical entries on the same date)?

Todd,
I suspected a more serious problem because the answer was too easy.
Thousands of duplicate entries...Is this what happened?
According to, Mac OS X 10.4: Stay away from the SyncServices folder: As if it were a swarm of bees, you should stay away from the SyncServices folder in Mac OS X 10.4. Removing or modifying anything in it—or in subfolders within it—may cause unexpected issues. (This folder is located in your Application Support folder, in your Library folder, in your Home folder.)
Deleting or modifying things in the SyncServices folder may cause unexpected results such as:
• Duplicate contacts in Address Book or appointments in iCal.
• Data loss in Address Book or iCal.
Important: Any lost or duplicate data could propagate to other devices and computers via iSync and .Mac sync. This means data could be lost on other computers.If that is your problem, I suspect that without a backup, duplicate entry deletion will at best be tedious, and at worst fraught with frustration. You may be better off starting from scratch.

Entry in ical like -1 effects double entries on other devices after sync through icloud

Entry in ical like -1 effects double entries on other devices after sync through icloud

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

DTM deleted old entries in iCal!

I keep my old entries in iCal as sort of a diary. A short while ago I started looking for something from a couple of years ago (on my computer), and discovered that everything that was over a year old was gone!. I was not aware of the archive feature of iCal prior to that time, so just figured I could restore everything from a backup. No go -- don't know how long the data had been missing. So, I manually recreated what I could from my computer at work, and archived it for safekeeping. Last evening I synced my BB Curve again, and now the data from older than 10 years is gone (my data went back to 1993). I had purposefully done an archive just before syncing for that very reason, so I was able to restore.
Does anybody know why this is happening? And what to do to correct it? I know I can archive each time I want to sync, but that seems a hassle. Don't really care if the info is on my BB or not, but most assuredly do NOT want it deleted from my iCal. The data is very important to me.

in iCal preferences>advanced tab...you can select to delete (or not) events and items....see if any of these are checked.

Why are entries into iCal not synching with my droid phone?

When I enter calendar events into my Motorola Droid phone (Gmail), the entries automatically synch to my Macbook Pro Gmail and from there to iCal. But when I make an entry into iCal, though the entry appears on the Macbook Pro Gmail, the entry does not push to my phone. Why would the synching work in one direction and not the other? I was trying to use iCal because it's easy to just click on the dock icon to open it up, but if the synching is not reliable, I'll need to go back to just using Gmail for everything. Thanks for any input.

It's probably not compatible. This is the only thing I can see.

I am getting entries which are 'all day' entries duplicated 8 to 9 times. I have updated my software on the phone to the latest version. Entries in iCal are only once. I have completely emptied my iPhone of all data. Has Apple resolved the issue yet?

Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
In my city small claims is $5000.00
And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

Check iCal preferences, the Accounts Tab. You might have duplicate accounts.

Added entries to iCal, and when I synced with iPhone all the entries were listed twice on iPhone

I have a new Mac Air with Lion and an older iPhone 3G - I posted a number of entries on ICal, then synced, and all entries are listed twice on my iPhone.

Delete an entry in ICAL

When I try to delete an entry in ICAL I get this message
"Only the calendar administrator and any delegates with permission can make changesto read-only calendars. To make changes to the calendar, contact the calendar administrator".
I am the account admin…T
ried Pref-Delegation-Manage Account Access still no luck

It was once a recurring event which I deleted (I thoughtj). Actually there are two events by the same name on the same day. One has a dark blue dot to the left of it; the other has a light blue dot to the left of it.

Only receiving repeat entries in iCal on iPhone 3GS v5.1.1 since iMac went down for service

Yesterday I took my iMac in for service. Today I was checkingl entries in iCal in my iPhone 3GS v5.1.1 and all entries were missing except those that were Repeat entries. I tried to go to iCloud to check iCal but iCloud didn't recognize my account and password and said I had to creat a new account.
What is up?

I had this same exact issue while traveling in Italy and France (I returned yesterday 17-October).
Before leaving, I verified by phone w/At&T that I had all necessary features to use my phone overseas. They said yes I did have all necessary features to use my phone overseas. They did offer me their AT&T World Traveler plan for $5.99/month but I declined since I would not use this feature enough to justify the monthly cost. They said my phone would still work overseas, but my per minute usage rate would be slightly higher. ...HOWEVER, I could not connect with any of the available networks while overseas (same results/messages as you).
I just spoke w/At&T again. Now they say I did not have the necessary feature to use my phone overseas. This is what I found out:
1. You can sign up online for the World Traveler $5.99/month plan. This will allow you to use your phone overseas.
2. If you do not want the $5.99/month plan, you need to have the Expanded International Roaming feature activated on your phone. If it is activated, you will see it on your online account under "International Features". Be aware, the rates will be higher for all services (I believe they told to make sure "Data Roaming" is turned off, otherwise I will be charged $20.00/minute for internet access")
3. If you have had your phone less than 90 days, and you want to activate Expanded International Roaming, you must call AT&T and ask to speak with International customer service. According to my recent phone call with AT&T, this is the only department that can activate the services (@ less than 90 days).
I'm still not confident this issue is resolved, but I will find out next time I travel outside the United States.

ICal entries to phone but no phone entries to iCal?

Hi!
Is it possible to copy all the iCal entries to my phone but nothing from the phone to iCal using iSync?
I only edit the entries from my powebook, and use the phone calendar as a reminder. So if for example i erase an entry from iCal, or change it somehow, I don't want the old version to be copied back in from my phone when I use iSync.
Nokia 6233 via bluetooth. Devices already set up and working fine.
Thanks

(i know this is old, but I was digging thru some isync/ical problems)
What you could do is to sync the events you create on your phone into its own calendar. So create a calendar called "Phone" (or whatever). Then load up iSync. Under the Calendars section there is an option to "Put events created on phone into:" and you can select "Phone" calendar from there.
*But*, you will need to sync the "Phone" calendar every time too (otherwise you can't select it with that option above). Still, for everyday use in iCal, you can just uncheck the "Phone" calendar and you won't see those events.
HTH.

How do I get rid of duplicate entries in iCal on my mac after commencing iCloud?

I just got a new iPhone 4s, and have set up iCloud. I managed to sync everthing i think (ie. contacts + calenders) but now on my mac iCal I have three duplicate calender entries for one event, but only one entry on my iPhone. If I delete just one of the entries from the iCal on my mac (leaving 2 still there), the one calender entry on my iphone disappears. Please help. It is driving me mad!!

You don't want to get rid of, it's a security feature. If someone steals your Mac, all that account permits is Safari access, no other access to the computer. This enables you to locate your Mac.
