Re: Simplifying Calendar OKs on a Mac

[Stephen Chape]

Hi Ronni.

This seems like an awkward one and I don’t think there is a solution really.

For example:
Yesterday I noticed there were 72 additions to David’s roster (each one on a 
different day).
So I had to open Calendar and click the “72” in the top left of my screen.
This displays a vertical list of the 72 changes.
Then I must click the OK button on each one to add it to his Calendar on my Mac.

A few days ago he had 102 changes …. phew !!

When he was commanding Emirates passenger flights these were much fewer and 
rarely changed.
But since he moved to Emirates Freighters these changes are incessant.

Perhaps something I just have to accept 浪

Re: Simplifying Calendar OKs on a Mac

Hi Stephen,

I’m not sure if my reply will help at all as I haven’t experienced exactly your 
situation.
But I often have to change recurring events.

How to change multiple events at once on calendar:

Did you set it for repeating? If you just set individual events and just 
created the same event on different days without some type of repeating, then 
you would not be able to change them all at the same time. 

If they are repeating, then you can open the next one in the future, you cannot 
use one of the past ones, and it should ask if you want to change all or just 
the one.

Sorry if my reply does not really relate to your situation.

Kind Regards,
Ronni
