repeating events in calendar

The repeating event option has vanished from my calendar menu. Below the time and date the only options are travel time and alerts. Any idea how to bring it back? I rely on it.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.5

Hi maricao19,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. You can still set up repeating events in Calendar on your Mac. Follow the steps here: Set up or delete a repeating event in Calendar on Mac 


"Set up a repeating event


1) In the Calendar app on your Mac, double-click or force click the event to view event details, then click the event’s time. (You can also select an event, then use the Touch Bar.)


2) Click the Repeat pop-up menu, then choose an option.


To set the event to repeat on a schedule not included in the menu, choose Custom, choose an option from the Frequency pop-up menu, then enter your custom settings:

  • Daily: Enter the number of days between each repeat. For example, to create an event that occurs every other day, enter the number 2.
  • Weekly: Enter the number of weeks between each repeat, then select the days of the week you want the event to occur on. For example, you can create an event that occurs every 3 weeks on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of that week. 
  • Monthly: Enter the number of months between each repeat. To make the event occur on the same day of the month each time it repeats (for example, on the 4th and 19th day of each month in which the event occurs), select Each, then click the days of the month on which you want the event to occur. 
    • You can also make the event repeat according to a pattern (for example, on the last weekday of each month in which the event occurs). To set up a pattern, select “On the,” then choose options from the pop-up menus.
  • Yearly: Enter the number of years between each repeat, then click the months in which you want the event to occur.
    • You can also make the event occur according to a pattern (for example, on the third Thursday of each month in which the event occurs). To set up a pattern, select “On the,” then choose options from the pop-up menus.


3) Click the End Repeat pop-up menu, then choose when to stop the event."


Hope that helps.

maricao19,


Let's test to see if the issue persists in a different user account on your Mac:


1.) On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups .
If the lock at the bottom left is locked , click it to unlock the preference pane.
2.) Click the Add button  below the list of users.
3.) Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose a type of user.
4.) Enter a full name for the new user. An account name is generated automatically. To use a different account name, enter it now—you can’t change it later.
5.) Enter a password for the user, then enter it again to verify. Enter a password hint to help the user remember their password.
6.) Click Create User.

Should you still not see the option, contact Apple Support so that they can look into this with you further.


Take care.
