Setting a recurring iCal event

How do I set a recurring event on 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month?
I'm using iCal 3.0.8

Make an event on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, set it to repeat monthly, then set it to custom repeat and choose 2nd Tuesday. Close the event, drag it to the desktop, and delete it from iCal. Open the desktop copy with TextEdit (or similar) and find the line that reads
RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=2TU
(it will be near the end of the file) and change it to
RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=2TU,4TU
Drag it back to iCal and delete the desktop copy.

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.
Best wishes

In setting up my ICal calendar I have specific times (as new events) that I want to be included in the print out. This doesn't happen.

In setting up my ICAL calendar I have specific times (as new events) for each day. When it prints out the time does not show up (rather its a bar). I would like the time for each appointment to print out. How do I do this?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?

With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?
With Lion 10.7.1. you where able to drag events from "All Day Events" into the "Reminders" bar to create upcoming reminders.

Exactly the same question I was about to post!
Great being able to sync reminders (well overdue) however if I have to re-type a calener envent into reminders it's a waste of time!!
Come on Apple!!
Just need an option for the calender event to add to reminder or the old drag to add to reminder functionality back, Please???

Can I set up a default time for iCal events?

That's actually how Guest Access feature works. You can share internet to your guest/visitors without giving them access to your local network. You may configure the Guest Access settings on the router using Linksys Smart Wifi through the local access interface; check this site for the instructions, http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=b509a1805dd6416ebb0e35a7e5a58937_Configuring_Guest...

ICal event reminder bug causes alarm to be repeated every hour

Hi,
I'm running 10.7.3 on an iMac.
In the last fortnight (nothing with the OS or settings has been changed) the iCal event reminders incorrectly trigger every hour for the same event. This is occuring for every event reminder, even if the settings are for a single alarm or email the day before. To make things worse I've had to delete the events with one-off email notifications as my inbox was getting full!
The events themselves are not duplicated, and the alarms not set to be recurring.
I have an icloud calendar, two exchange calendars, and two calendars all being sync'd between my iMac, two macbook pro's, and iPhone and iPad. Have had these all set for ages with no problems.
I've called apple support enough times in the past to have already checked the system privilages but unfortunately this has not resolved the problem.
I would turn off all the event alarms but a few of the calendars are shared across different sites and keep us all on the same page (occasionally also the events have been created by others).
Suggestions would be much appreciated
Isaac

Totally missed it, duh! Thanks. Will try again.

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

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.

Cannot add new iCal events on my iPhone 3G.

My iPhone 3G has stopped saving new iCal events. I can still set up new events in iCal on my laptop, and they'll sync over to my iPhone, but new events won't save when entered into iCal on my iPhone. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix this?
BTW, I just got rid of a MobileMe account. I never ended up using MobileMe, so it doesn't seem like that should be the issue here, but I noticed that some other folks have had iCal sync issues with MobileMe, so I thought I'd add that info.

In other words, it's hacked.
Sorry, you can't get help here.
Say for an instance, that it wasn't hacked. Would you suggest to just wipe and restore it?

ICal events disappeared (not linked to MobileMe or iCloud)

Hello,
I run iCal 4.0.4 with MacOSX 10.6.8.
I recently noted that all events before 6 May 2011 have disappeared and I don't know why.
The preferences are not set with the 'Delete events ?? days after they have passed' (the box is not ticked).
I did a test yesterday looking if the events where disappearing but that is not the case, so this morning events after the 6 May 2011 still there.
My iCal is not linked to ModileMe or iCloud in any way.
Where are the events before 6 May have gone? Can I retrieve them? Would events continue to disappear?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

You need to ensure that each device (including the MBP) is using iCal from iCloud (NOT a local version of iCal). Using the MBP as an example, click on the Calendars icon in the upper left corner and look for something similar to the following:
If it does not say ICLOUD at the top, there's your problem. Post back and we'll go from there.

Applescript ical event at specific time of day

I'm trying to find a way to have a script create an iCal event for a day away. I use (current date + 1 * days) but this creates the event one day away at the time the script runs. is there a way to create the event one day away at 8:00am each time?

The current date includes the time, so you can just set the time separately, for example
set theDate to ((current date) + 1 * days)
set time of theDate to 8 * hours
theDate -- > next day at 8:00AM

Found iCal events in Time Machine. Now Lion only allowing me to import one event at a time.

Upgrade my macbook pro over the weekend to Snow Leopard and then Lion.   I lost all my the majority of my iCal events.   Went to Apple store and they said that was rare and not sure how to restore my last back up from Time Machine on an external drive.   I've been spending hours trying to go through a bunch of threads on different MAC formums.
So I finally found my iCal events in Time Machine.   When I try to import these events, I am only allowed to highlight/import one event at a time.   This will take me forever to import years of missing data.   I basically have been using my iCal to journal for my 3 small daughters - first tooth, hair cut, etc.   So I am desperate to get these events back so I can get them printed and SAFE.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to import my ics files?   The Apple Store Genius had me tryng to import the corestorage.ics files.   2 or 3 of those files showed they were trying to be imported for over 4 hours.   I finally Forced Quit iCal.   I've tried this several times and same result.
The corestorage files were under user/library/application support/ical/sources
I now located the calendar events user/library/calendars/ then a bunch of coded files leading to the events. These events appear to be the ones I am looking for as I can read some of the files.   I have several years I want to import back into my working iCal.
Please help if you know how!!!
Thank you,
Very Upset Mama of 3 little girls

Thomas - You are awesome - THANK YOU!
I did exactly what you said (CAN"T believe an Apple Genius did not know this) and I think all of my events got restored.
However, it duplicated all of the calendars - I have 6 (one for each family member plus an extra called home that we all have to do).   Not sure if I did something wrong, but do you have any ideas?
Also, the time setting must be wrong b/c I have events from 2008 showing up in 2012 - same day and time as the old sessoin - just out dated.    Do I need to manually change all of this?   Should I delete the Calendars folder again and try again?
Also, I read some where about deleting a iCal cache file.   Do I need to do this?
I TRULY appreciate you taking the time to help people in this forum.   I have spent hours the past two days trying to figure this out.   Plus, now I need to figure out about upgrading my Office for Mac b/c I didn't realize I lost Office 2004 when upgrading to Lion.
Thank you for your time and support!

Why have deleted iCal events suddenly reappeared in my calender?

Assistance needed please for an iCal issue on Snow Leopard (iMac).
A bunch of formerly deleted iCal events have suddenly reappeared in iCal. I thought this would be easily resolved by using Time Machine (external HD) to restore the calendar files to when they were workings ok (a couple of days ago). Although this initially appeared to work, all the previously deleted events have suddenly reappeared.
If I was using iCloud I'd assume it was some kind of syncing issue, but I'm not. Least I can rule that out.

Cactus,
Here are two troubleshooting articles which may be helpful for you:

Recurring calendar event bug from Exchange

In Outlook, we can create a recurring meeting for things like the first Monday of the month, or the 5th of every month. But if we schedule a meeting to occur the second weekday of every month, it appears wrong on our phones for every date except the very first one. In other words, each subsequent month is wrong. For what it's worth, we also get incorrect results on Android phones. But Windows phones handles it properly.
Has anybody else run into this on their iPhone, and if so, did anybody find a solution other than creating a bunch of individual meetings to hit the proper dates??

Just following up if anybody else has run into this bug in the way the iOS interprets certain recurring calendar events synched from Exchange?
To experience this bug, create a recurring event in Exchange (via Outlook) and set it to occur the second weekday of every month. The first month on your iPhone/iPad will be correct, and every month after it will be very wrong.
Hopefully Apple can fix this at some point.

Lost ical events with lion upgrade...how do I find them?

Does anyone know how to get all ical events to appear in ical after a lion upgrade?

This may not help but, I've reached a point where I'll backup everything before ANY kind of upgrade or update and I'll even have two sets of Time Machine backups. I guess you'll have to restore forgetting about the upgrade and retry after refreshing the backup on a SECOND drive, don't allow yur current backup to start a new session at all, you may loose it. Maybe too late, but I just saw this now. Good Luck!
