Set up recurring event in calendar

I want to set up an event which happens every second Thursday of each month. If I select monthly it puts it on the same date each month which is not necessarily the second Thursday. I can do this on calendar on my Mac but can't figure out how  to do it on my iPhone 5s with 7.1.2.

Thanks for responding Chris. I was afraid that it couldn't be done. It,s really a shame as I have many such recurring events each month so Calendar is not of much use to me. I will check out your suggestion about synching. I have my recurring events set up on my Mac calendar and that works fine. I currently don't synch my iPhone with iTunes just copy pics with image capture and do manual backups.

  • Why can't I set a relative date for a recurring event in calendar on my ipod touch?

    why can't I set a relative date for a recurring event in calendar on my ipod touch?

    Because The Calendar app does not support it. There are apps in the App store that do.

  • How do I set a recurring event for the last day of the month on iphone 4s calendar?

    I want to set a recurring event for the last day of every month - regardless of the date/number of days in the month. I'd prefer not to have to use an app to do this.

    Hi,
    You can do this using the custom repeat in iCal. You'll need two events to cover the second and fourth Mondays.
    Create the event on the second Monday of the month. In Repeat select Custom... > Frequency: Monthly > On the: second Monday.
    Do the same for the Fourth Monday.

  • Setting recurring events in calendar

    I have an I phone 4. I am trying to set recurring meetings that occur for example; on the second Wednesday of every month. On the repeat selection, there is no option for that. I find this very odd as many professionals have recurring events and meetings that would need to be scheduled this way.
    The only workaround I see is to add it to my desktop Outlook calendar which does have this type of recurring event.

    The easiest way, unfortunately, is to make that kind of recurrance in the calendar app in your computer then sync it to the ipad
    the ipad calendar app handles a lot of repeat patterns, but not that one.

  • Calendar app in iOS can't set complex recurring events or arbitrary alert time.

    Dear Administrator,
    I find the Calendar app in iOS very limiting.  It should not be difficult for Apple to include features that allows arbitrary alert time (45min before the event) or complex recurring events (repeat every 4 months on the first Thursday of the month).  Do I miss something or Apple did not include these features in the system software.  It is really inconvenient.  Please help. 
    Sincerely yours,
    Zigang Pan

    The built-in calendar app does not support complex recurrances.  If you want to do that, you'll need to use a different calendar app, such as Fantistical 2 or Week Calendar.

  • Can I set a recurring event which falls on a specific day

    I would like to set events in my Calendar which fall on specific days of the Week or Month e.g. 2nd Monday of each month; or the last Friday on the month.  I would be obliged if anyone can advise on how this can be done.

    That feature does not exist in the built in calendar app. What you see in the settings for recurring events is what you get. There are other calendar apps available in the App Store. Check some of them out and you might find one that suits your needs better.
    Look at this one.

  • How to set up recurring events in iCal on OS X Mavericks?

    I've just downloaded Mavericks and in  iCal, recurring setting option is no longer there.  This was a very convienent feature.  Any help would be awesome!

    If you create a new event under Calendar in Mavericks 10.9.1 - Using the month display and double clicking on the day window, an info box pops-up.
    So far, so good...
    There is no mechanism to "add an alert' -- the only options are "Add Invitees" in one group then Add Notes, Add Attachment... and Add URL.
    This is where you lost me...
    because, as is plain to see, there is an option to add an Alert, just as there was in my screen shots from 10.9 above.
    Another problem -- If you right-click on the event IN the day window, an option to "duplicate" the event pops-up, but that event created appears in that same date and time with no option to provide a new date and time.
    Instead of choosing "Duplicate," choose Get Info. This will open an Info window in the upper left...
    Click on the date in that Info window...
    and when the Date field expands (gray area, below), click on the date again, and you will be able to change the date and time of the event...
    You're welcome in advance!

  • How to show next instance of Recuring Event in Calendar List View

    We have a calendar that we are using to display upcoming events.  However we are unable to get a clean output of next instance date for recurring events such as paydays or monthly meetings.  As opposed to showing next instance it shows the date
    the event was originally put in the calendar. 
    I am guessing it will take a custom script, but I don't even know where to begin with that.

    Hi Swen,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display the recurring events as separated events in the calendar list view.
    I recommend to create a Standard View, with Expanded Recurring Events for the calendar list,
    and each instance of a recurring event will be showing in this view.

  • Strange recurring event on calendar

    I have a recurring event on the 2nd or 3rd day of each month on the calendar of my iphone - "Enjoy the music. Charge ipod". I don't know where this came from and I can't get rid of it. Edit is not available if I select it. Does anyone know what this is and how I can delete it?
    Thanks

    Outlook 2007, although it hasn't actually been synced for a couple of months, this odd "appointment" has appeared quite recently, within the last month or so.

  • Cannot delete recurring events in calendar

    All of a sudden, with the (TERRIBLE) changes of iOS 7, recurring events will not delete or be changed. Each time I try to delete or even change an event, it walks through the correct process tellingme that it is a recurring event and asking if I want to delete just this one or all future events. I say all future. All's good. It goes away. then 5 seconds later it shows up again!  Same thin when I try to edit or move an event. I have tried on all my devices  to delete the same event -- it always returns!
    I am running iMac intel with OS X 10.9
    iPhone & iPad iOS 7
    and I am at a loss as how to do it differently.
    I found on earlier sites to put " sudo chmod -a# 0 ~/Library/Preferences/ into terminal -- but Termal came back with "
    chmod: No ACL present '
    Any thoughts?  Anyone else having this problem?

    Is this a synced calendar or just on the phone?
    For a synced calendar, you will need to go to the Settings App > Mail,Contacts,Calendar and remove it from there.
    For a calendar on the device, open the calendar app > Calendars > Seelct the calendar(s) in question (tap on the blue arrow to the right) > scroll down and tap Delete Calendar.

  • How do I set 4 weekly events in calendar?

    I want to add a 4 weekly event in calendar on my iPhone 4S. The only option close is either two weekly or monthly both of which are no good to me.

    Roger make sure you have location services turned in in System Preferences / Privacy and make sure the Calendar is checked.
    As a test, I turned mine off and then I saw the same problems on the Calendar as you described. Once your turn them on, you should be able to add locations and a map will appear at the bottom of the screen where you edit the event details. You can double click the map to open Maps and get directions.
    Stephen. In reply to this:
    Some events give me the Travel Time option, but only from "Work" and not "Home".  My actual work events don't give me the Travel Time option, maybe because iCal thinks I am already there?
    I played around for a bit and think I found an answer. If I have no events on a day and I schedule one for anytime until 6:00pm, it will give the travel time from Work. If I add an event or change the time to 6:01pm or later, it will give the travel time from home.
    If there are other events with locations already on the calendar and I add a new event reasonably close to one of them, it will give the travel time from the location of the previous event.
    I haven't found a way to change the "from" location without adding another event or just typing in a travel time manually, but overall the automated system works pretty good.

  • Problem with editing recurring events on calendar

    Ever since the 2.2 update I cannot edit any recurring appointments in calendar.  As an example if I need to cancel or change the time of just this weeks scheduled appointment I am only given the option to delete all the future appointments or change the time for all future appointments.  I cannot edit or cancel just the current weeks appointment.  Called HTC and got the usual "We're working on it."

    It might be something that can be only edited while logged into the Google calender on a PC via the web.  I know that there are limitations for the type of reoccuring options on the phone.  There are more options within the PC version.

  • Iphone5 deleted most recurring events in Calendar when changing one event and confirming Save for All Future Events

    This has occurred now twice today, requiring me to resync my iphone5 in order to recapture the majority of my Calender events that were in place before this mysterious disappearance took place. When I touched the "Save for All Future Events" button, the process took much longer than usual, with this result. My iCloud account is set only for Backups; nothing on my iphone is set to sync with iCloud. Has anyone else had disappearing Calender Events in the new iphone5 or any ideas what may be causing this to happened - never before occurred on previous iphones.

    I had the same problem and thought it was fixed after spending a lot of time last night going through all my appointments on my 9900 and fixing them. Then this morning I did a 1-way sync with my PC and after updating all my categories in Outlook I did a 2-way sync just to have the same thing all over again. 
    I resolved the problem by replacing DM7 with DM6.1
    I just can't see how after 6 months this can happen. It's not like syncing calendar appointments is something only a handful of people do.

  • 3GS only showing recurring events on calendar before 9/23/12 but all events are showing in icloud and on laptop.

    Discovered my 3GS no longer shows on the calendar nonrepeating events before 9/23/12. However, those events show in icloud and on my laptop. We tried reloading icloud but still missing. Guess is due to downloading of IOS6 - if so, why didn't Apple let us know we couldn't download upgrade to 3GS?  Also, will be ordering Iphone 5 and want to ensure have ALL calendar etc. downloaded.  Can it be done using the 3GS in the store or will I have to  take home and do with laptop?

    Did you try going to Settings>iCloud and turning Calendars to Off and when it asks if you want to keep the data, declining?  This will erase the calendar from your phone but not from iCloud.  Then, after waiting a minute or so,  turn Calendars back to On, and if prompted, choose Merge to redownload your calendar.
