After considering previous comments from the group, and reading a few
reviews and opinions online, I've decided to migrate from a long time
Entourage user, to the Apple Apps and Mobile Me regime.
I've started with iCal and have hit a snag. In Entourage, you could
set up
task on a repeating basis. So for instance, if there something I
needed to
each and every Thursday, Entourage could accommodate that.
With iCal and the To Do functionality, there doesn't seem to be a
recurring
option. Am I missing something, or is there another way to achieve
this?
I thought I'd get iCal all sorted as a first step before bringing
contacts
and mail across.
Cheers, Steven
Events can be made to be recurring, but not To Dos. iCal takes the
attitude with To Dos that once a thing is done, it's done. Events,
however, can be very regular occurrences, so yo create recurring
events rather than tasks. Events can be made to set alarms, display
messages, send emails, open files and even Applescripts at appointed
times with appointed regularity.
Just not To Dos.
