I’ve been working with Google Calendar and having good success, but I can’t figure out how to add recurring events to my calendar. Can you help?
It’s reasonably straightforward to add recurring or repeating events to Google Calendar in my experience, so let me show you how I do it and perhaps it’ll illuminate your own situation.
Connect to your calendar, then click on Create Event. You’ll now see this:
Fill out the basics, including description, time, date, location, etc., then when you’re ready to mark it as a recurring event by clicking on the Repeats menu:
My event is weekly for six weeks, so I’ll choose “Weekly” and suddenly there are a bunch more options for specifying the parameters of this recurring event:
The course runs through November 27th, so I choose “Until” then chose the date from the pop-up calendar. When it’s all done, I see this:
Now I just choose “Save” and I’m done. Repeating event neatly and quickly created.
Hope that helps you see how to do things on your side too!
Alas, no. There are a number of recurring events that don’t fit into the model Apple has. I also find that events that are, say, Tues & Thurs for a few weeks require two unrelated recurring events, which is a drag.
Is there a way to say ‘repeat every last working day (MON to FRI) of every month?’
Thanks

Yes, it’s quite easy. Instead of selecting 1 year, select 12 months and you will have the desired option. Cheers Mick
need an option for recurring events to be treated as individual events. if an invitee responds to an invite, then the response applies to the whole series rather than just one day/date of the series.
Thomas, when it’s an irregular pattern like that, I find that the fastest way is to set up one event, then select it and Cmd-D duplicate it. Then tweak that one and duplicate again, until you have all the events populated. Tedious, but still faster than entering all the data each time.
Is there any way of creating 5 occurrences happening at different intervals eg:
day 0 (today): the event
day 0 (today): 1st occurrence
day +1 (tomorrow): 2nd occurrence
day +7 (a week from today) 3rd occurrence
day +28 (4 weeks, or a month from today) 4th occurrence
Thank you for any tips or advice

What if it is not date specific? For example, my family reunion is the last weekend in July each year, so the dates aren’t the same each year. How do I enter that as a recurring event?
Far as I can tell, Rachel, there’s no way to accomplish that on the iPhone at this time.
How do I add recurring events to Google Calendar via my iphone???
What program is that screen capture of? That’s not a windows machine.
Is there a way to edit individual dates in a recuring event? EG change the location for 1 date only
Thanks
