Can't edit an event in my Calendar.

Yesterday I noticed that I can't edit an event in my Calendar. Also when I type a new event it drops some of the type off when I hit return. And it's not necessarily dropping off the end of the sentence! I'm using OSX10.8.5. The only thing that's different is last week I loaded Adobe CC. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. I've turned off Calendar in iCloud and turned it back on and that didn't fix anything. Any suggestions?

FOUND IT!!!
Found a previous post on here about it. I removed Lucida Grande and it's fixed!
"It appears the problem font for me was Lucida Grande. Resolving Duplicates didn't work properly, so I had to pull the old version manually."

How can I move an event in my calendar to my "completed" calendar without changing all the events in the series?

How can I move an event in my calendar to my "completed" calendar without changing all the events in the series?
As Apple has yet to upgrade iCalendar so I can check off my events as I complete them (no, I do not want to use a task list/reminder list), I want to be able to move my events to my "completed" events calendar as I complete them. The issue is that most of my events are repeating events, and it changes the entire series. How do I change only the event I clicked on using my iPhone?
Thanks

If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

How can I add an event to my calendar that occurs every third day...I have an ipad.

How can I add an event to my calendar that occurs every third day?

Do you happen to have a Mac? If so, and if you use iCloud to sync your calendars, you can do that on your Mac and your iPad will understand. But you cannot create such a repitition (or something like the third Tuesday of each month) on your iPad.
In Calendar on your Mac, you would create the event, choose "Custom ..." as the repitition frequency, then choose "Days" and choose every 3 days.

Can't add any events to my Calendar on my iPhone 5S

All of a sudden I can't add any events to my Calendar on my iPhone 5S. It worked fine just a couple days ago. I haven't loaded any new software and I haven't changed anything in the Settings regarding the Calendar. I have the latest (newest) software 8.2 upgrade. I've done everything I can think of, including turning it off and restarting it. I have not reset it back to factory defaults, I hope not to have to do that.

I click on the + button (add button) and it does allow me to enter a Title, a Location and all the date/s & time/s. The Add button is active and I click on it and it returns me to the calendar. I don't get any kind of error. However, their is no event on the day or time I chose. Tried it on different dates, different times, and doesn't matter whether it's a Specific Time Event or and All Day Event, it just doesn't same it.
Thanks for the quick response by the way,
Bob

Suddenly I can no longer add events to my calendar osuddr add reminders. The symbol is brayed out and won't allow me to add anything???

I had the the same problem albeit with an m4v (same hardware and OS rev too!, iTunes 10.6.3). I was able to add the movie to a new library per Limnos' suggestion here, indicating that iTunes wasn't totally busted. However, I was also able to see the movie in the Recently Added smart playlist (another hat tip to Limnos), although it still did not appear in the Movies section of my iTunes library. (It was also in the iTunes Library.xml file.)
So I called AppleCare, and they directed me to move the file from the external drive where it was living, into the /Users/<Your Name Here>/Movies directory, and to "Add to Library" (Command-O) from that location. Sure enough (and much to my surprise), it showed up immediately (duplicated, actually) in the Movies section of my iTunes library. Subsequent additions to my Library have not misbehaved similiarly.

Google Calendar: can't edit an event 1) when double clicking an event it doesn't open to edit 2) when clicking on a time slot to edit doesn't do anything & more

I cannot edit calendar events in google calendar. Also when clicking on a time slot to create an event the click gets stuck and it's scrolling to select time slot and the only way to get it unstuck is to reload the page. Other browsers work just fine.

Can't edit iCal events like before installing Snow Leopard.

When creating a New Event or trying to Edit an existing Event the title field isn't editable like before I installed Snow Leopard. If I try to click on the header field to edit it, the whole event box turns into a window with red & green buttons at the top and I STILL can't edit the title area! This doesn't make sense! Did something go wrong installing Snow Leopard? I've reinstalled it twice and still the same behavior. This can't be the way things are supposed to work editing events in iCal. I can edit the location and all the other fields in the event panel, but NOT the title. The only way I can try to edit the event title is by hitting the enter key and try to add characters before it switches to an un-editable field again.

Perhaps you've just updated your OS and now have the newer version of iCal which is ***** compared to the faster, more elegant older version. The older iCal presented every event's details in a ready to edit format just by clicking on the item in the calendar.
Now you have to double click that item you're interested in (one two) to get a window that shows you the item's details. Then, to edit, you must click the 'edit' button (three) upon which another editable window will allow your event details to be edited. Finally, after finishing your edits, you must click 'done' (four). Yes, that's right, 4 clicks to do what used to require only the initial click to specify which event you wanted to edit.
Four times as many clicks for a utility application that has no further improvements, only this annoying change from what was once a very efficient tool.
I do hope a future "update" will bring back the elegance of the older version with some true improvements.

My iPhone 5s was just updated recently to 7.1.1. Now my calendar information got deleted and I can't add any events to my calendar. The button in the top right corner should be orange but it's grey and it won't let me add events when I try to click onit

I'm trying to add events to my calendar after they got deleted and it won't let me because the + is grey when it should be orange. Does anyone know what to do?

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

Can't edit past events

i have a client who showed me this strange problem today.
she can view or delete past events for which she's listed as the organizer but can't edit them. i don't see any clear errors or notifications on the server to point me in any particular direction.
for individual events added to her calendar with no attendees, she can edit the past events, just not if attendees are listed.
any ideas? server's a g5 xserve running 10.5.5 for now. clients are 10.5.4-10.5.6. the client in question is on 10.5.6.
i also still have an issue at the same client, outlined here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964543

I can't edit an event on September 30th 2012 in iCal?...

I have my gmail calander linked with my iCal... i have input an event on Gmail calander and it has appeared on my iCal (a flight back home on September 30th 2012)... but on iCal it pops up on September 29th 2012. However, everything else is working fine...
When i try and edit the event on iCal (manually change the event date to September 30th 2012) the option isnt there?.... it only allows me to choose up to September 29th 2012.....
i am missing something here?... random year/month?.....
lol

There are some Summer/Winter time changes in some time zones that seem to cause this problem. It is something to do with the time zone file that Apple uses. You can generally work around it bt setting your time zone to a different zone but with the same UTC offset.

Can't edit new event in ical since snow loepard

I'm not realy good in english but i make my best, so sorry for bizzare contents. 2 days ago i install snow loepard on the macbook of my girlfriend and now some applications have problems. in ical we can't edit events... We c'ant create a new event but we can't change de title. The line apears block. It's weard because we can change the hour or other things, but not the title... somebody have the same problem? i look on the forum and i see nothing like this or answer for resolve the problem...

Hello,
I fixed the problem. On another thread about a related iCal problem, someone thought there was a font issue causing the problem.
First, I removed iCal from the dock.
Second, I opened Macintosh HD, then opened Applications, then opened Font Book.
Third, in the Font Book window I selected All Fonts, and from the menu I selected "Select Duplicate Fonts."
Fourth, in the Font Book window, rather than just disabling the duplicate fonts, I moved all the duplicate fonts one by one to the Trash.
Fifth, I emptied the Trash and restarted the computer.
Sixth, I opened iCal from the Applications list (and selected "Keep in Dock").
Now, the iCal is working fine and I'm able to edit the event title.

Can't edit any event, no event editor

It used to be that i could double click on an event to edit it. Right now, iCal is sending me reminders to do something that i no longer need. I want to cancel the reminders (i don't want to delete the event because i'll use it later). I want to get the pop up menu with all choices on it. I want to be able to edit the event. When i tried to do this yesterday, i found that nothing happens when i double click on the event, and when i select the event and go to the Edit menu and choose "edit event," nothing happens. I'm wondering if i accidentally clicked on some kind of finder setting or something that has disabled event editing? How do i get that little pop up menu with all the editing choices on it that i used to get?
Also, if i create a new event by double clicking in the date field in month view (for example), it creates an event called 'new event." But it will not let me name the event, much less have any other editing options. A google search informed me that i can select the event and hit return in order to be able to name the event but i can't do anything else. If i create the new event by double clicking on a day while in month view, when i look at the event in day view, it has defaulted to 1pm as the time for the event. Every time. If i create another event in month view on that same day, it will add another 1pm event.
What happened? I used to be able to easily create events with various characteristics by simply double clicking. What am i missing? I tried iCal help, how to edit an event. It just tells me to select things in the Event editor. But i can't get an event editor to open up. That's what i want, the event editor. How do i access it? Maybe something happened the last time i updated the system?

Ok,
I figured it out.
The "Formula Editor" modal window was being hidden off of the left hand side of my screen.

Why can't I enter events into my Calendar

I used to be able to enter events in my Calendar. Now I can't. I don't care about synching with any other service such as g-mail, iCloud, etc. Adding events is greyed out.

1. Back up all data.
2. If there are any calendars on your Mac that you don't synchronize with iCloud, export them by selecting them in the calendar list and then selecting
File ▹ Export ▹ Export…
from the menu bar.
3. Quit Calendar.
4. Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Calendars
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move that folder to the Desktop.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
5. Launch Calendar. Your iCloud calendars, if any, will initially be gone, but they should resynchronize with iCloud. If they don't, uncheck the box marked Calendars & Reminders in the iCloud preference pane, then re-check it.
6. Import the calendars you exported in step 2, if any, by double-clicking the files.
7. If the issue is resolved, close the Finder window you opened in step 4. Delete the exported files and the Calendars folder on the Desktop.

ICal + Google Calendar: I can't see iCal events on Google Calendar...

Hi all
Two partners and myself have started a small business, and we need to be aware of each other's schedules in order to run it successfully, so we have decided to give Google Calendars a bash.
I've added my Google account to iCal so now when I add an event to Google Calendars it shows up in iCal, but not vice versa: in other words, if all my iCal events don't show up in Google Calendars.
I've researched the issues, follow all the steps, etc. but I still can't seem to fix this... Am I doing something wrong?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My understanding is that iCal will not send data to gCal. The forums suggest that the only way to do this at present is to hook up an iPhone to gCal, which does allow a two-way exchange. gCal then sends to iCal. To me, that means that you cannot make entries on your Mac iCal and have them replicated in gCal. So your Mac calendar is effectively 'read-only', and all entries have to be made on an iPhone or on gCal. I'm not sure, but I suspealso that the only way to get your Mac updated is via gCal; possibly synching phone to Mac via iTunes will result in duplicate entries.
As I understand gCal, you have to be online to access it, which is no good if you are on the road (or visiting your mother!). I'm not sure how MobileMe comes into this either; I'm still experimenting and either I get no calendars or multiple duplicate entries!
