I have an event date field that has lots of existing entries on the calendar. I can't turn on repeating dates because data already exists. Does this module let me get around that problem? It says it only works on existing repeating dates.

This module doesn't actually change the type of date field from repeating to non-repeating (which is the opposite of what you want anyway) to do its job. An array of dates from repeating date fields are simply separated out into different entities (and this module even keeps the saved RRULE which will still show up in cloned entity views- something that's useful for updating the following dates but perhaps confusing for the end-user at the same time).

For your issue a lot of people might just create a new repeating date field and transfer data from the old field to the new field. You can check out http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/80005/drupal-7-date-is-there-a... for an idea (someone suggested EntityFieldQueries and another used features while the OP resorted to database manipulation originally).
