Question

Bi Weekly Reminders

I as curious how if possible at all to set up to get a warning or message for an to-do every 2 weeks on the same day. I want to set it up to remind me to do a waterchange of my fish tank every 2 weeks. I never used iCal but think it would be helpful to remind me to do this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Richard,

Make sure iCal>View>Show Info is selected.

1. Create a "New Event."
2. In the Info window: Click on "repeat" (None) This will reveal a drop down menu which will allow you to select Custom...
3. In the Info window: Select "Frequency" (Weekly) Every (2) week(s) on: Choose your day and click (OK)
4. In the Info window: Click on "alarm" (None) This will reveal a drop down menu which will allow you to choose the method of alarm.

Richard,

Set the event for Noon and set the alarm for 2 hours before.

The minutes/hours/days field is also selectable. Just click on the field and enter your choice.
