Hello, I just bought a new macbook, so I'm a recent convert. Though I have gotten most stuff down, I am still having problems with iCal. I have a online group gathering every friday and sunday at 9:00PM. What I want to do is set an event for every friday and sunday for the rest of the year, or 12 months. I have figured out how to set them by one day at a time, but surely there is a way to do this in a faster manner. Any advice or input that could shared with me would be absolutely awesome. Thanks! 😀


:apple: Rules
 
Set two events - Friday and and Sunday. Double click to edit, click REPEAT and make them weekly (or custom) and set it up to your desires.

no need to make one for each day

make an event. set to repeat and then select custom.
click each and highlight a friday and a saturday. and change the frequency to weekly.
 
That definitely did it. I cannot believe I missed the repeat and custom buttons. Thanks so much for pointing that out for me. I have got my calendar the way I want it.

One last question if you don't mind, where's a good place to subscribe to calendars? I am just generally looking for holidays to be marked, or apple events.

Thanks again!
