Heres how I duplicate a Calendar event on my iPad Air or my iPhone 5. (iOS 7.1)
- Edit the event you want to copy.
- Choose Repeat, Every Day.
- Change the End Repeat to be the next day. (Watch out, it defaults to a week from today.)
- When you press Done, you will have duplicated the event the next day at the same time, but you are not finished. These two events are linked, and you have to unlink them.
- Edit the second event you just created and change it to Repeat: Never. You can also move it to the date and time you want.
- When you press Done, respond Save for future events.
- Edit the first event again and also change it to Repeat: Never, and save for future events. Dont worry, the second event has been unlinked and it will not be affected.
- Now, move the second event to the date and time where you want it. You can add new notes or whatever. It is an independent event now.
Warning: If you dont unlink the events so both are Repeat:Never, Calendar can get confused and not allow any further Repeats to be made to either event.
If you own a Mac, a much easier way is to use the Calendar app that comes with Mac OS X. Just right-click your calendar event and choose Copy. Then right-click where you want a copy and choose Paste Here. (This assumes you are sharing your calendars between your Mac and your iPad/iPhone. Im using Mavericks and iOS 7 on my iPhone and iPad.)
