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.

  • How can I edit all events in iCal?

    Hello,
    is it possible to edit all events in iCal at once or do I have to edit each event itself?
    I want to add a reminder to all events!
    Thanks for your help!
    Dirk

    Try typing "." without the exclamation points in the iCal search window. Then simply highlight all the entries > Edit/Delete

  • Can't edit "New Event" when creating new event

    When I try to create a New Event, I can't change the name of it from New Event. So now all my newer calendar entries are called "New Event."
    How do I fix this?

    I have exactly the same problem
    Now I have to edit the name of the events direct on MobileMe on line and wait for sync to have it on my computer. Unbelievable!!
    By the way, all my calendars have migrated to On-Line Calendars mode but, it seems like on these mode it is not possible to create Calendar Groups so all of them are together now. Unbelievable again!!
    I'm wondering if this Ical issue could be related to font issues.
    I'm also experiencing some kind of font problems since upgrade to snow leopard.
    I had some font conflict issues during system installation.
    On first installation I have optioned for deleting conflict fonts.
    Then my menus were just erased.
    Then, on the second installation, I have optioned to just accept the conflicts.
    Now I have the menus back but other issues have been created.
    Now the window requesting user and password comes only with the empty boxes but no text at all.
    It's still working but just because I already know what to type in the boxes.

  • Can,t create new events in ical on Mac book Pro.

    This morning when I try to add a new event a pop up appears "This calendar was created by Mail. You can’t add events to a Mail calendar. Mail calendars only contain to do items created in Mail." Ical worked fine yesterday. I have a mobile me acc and can edit the online calendar but not the one on my laptop.
    Thanks

    Called Apple fast track support and problem is resolved. User error, for some reason I had selected the wrong calendar - after selecting the proper calendar on the left sidebar I could create events. Apparently at some time I created a 'todo' mailbox. It had nothing in it and I ended up deleting it so it doesn't get selected again in error.
    Took 15 minutes to connect with an ICAL specialist. Once connected received excellent support.

  • Can´t add new events to iCal :(

    Hey there,
    i´ve got a problem with my iCal. The little calendar on the left corner is stuck to January 2001 and i can´t add a new event. The other thing is that i can´t close the programm normally. I really hope you cann help me because i am not really sure what to do. I allready try to delete the cache and tried to use it with a different user account but nothing is working so far.
    So i really hope for help

    Charly,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Often iCal display problems can be corrected by refreshing the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

  • Editing new Event in Ical after loading leopard

    I loaded Leopard about a week ago and have been using my ical, with some newly learned skills,. However, last night when I added a new event, the window that used to pop up so I could input my data will not appear--double click and apple-E-- only give me a deselected ical window, like some other widow should have appeared, but it is not there. Help, PLEASE, this calendar runs my life and I am without it now!

    Solved! Needed to check "Show All Day Events" in the View menu!

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
    Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
    1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
    2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
    3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
    4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
    5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
    6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • 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 create a new event in iCal

    Odd thing is happening in iCal when creating a new event, clicking on the plus button creates a new calendar and not an event.
    When clicking on the day and from the pop up menue clicking new event I get an error message relating to mail?
    Doesn't happen all the time but very frustrating when in does. Is there a fix?

    Odd thing is happening in iCal when creating a new event, clicking on the plus button creates a new calendar and not an event.
    This is normal. You can create a new event by double-clicking within the day in any of the views (in Day or Week view double-click on the time for the event): select the calendar you want to add to in the sidebar first.

  • When I try to add a new event to iCal a dialog says "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". How do I cancel this?

    When I try to add a New Event to iCal a dialog box keeps saying "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". iCal is, however, receiving up-dates from my other devoces via iCloud. Can anyone help unblock this for me please?

    You can not add events to the birthday's calendar. To add birthday's to the birthday calendar you need to add the birthday to a contact in the Contacts app.
    You can set your default calendar here:
    iCal > Preferences > General  > Default Calendar and chose the calendar you want to default to.

  • Unable to add new event in iCal, Lion 10.7.1

    Hi,
    On Lion 10.7.1, I can't seem to add new events to iCal.
    I have tried the following:
    1. 2-finger click on a day in the month-view. This pops out the menu and I can click on 'New Event', but after that, nothing happens.
    2. Clicking on the '+' button at the top. This pops out the 'Create Quick Event' window. After typing in a new event and hitting return, nothing happens.
    I can create a new event in the 'Day' and 'Week' view though.
    iCal was working fine for me last week, but it seems to be broken since yesterday. I'm not sure if it stopped working after the 10.7.1 update.
    Thanks for any guidance or assistance!

  • Deleting New Event in iCal on iPad

    Unwittingly, I have "entered" a "New Event" in iCal on my iPad 2.  I would like to delete it but haven't been able to do so.
    Does anyone know how I can delete the "New Event"?
    I would appreciate your help and suggestions.
    Thanks.
    Vernon

    1. Click on an event.
    2. A bar with a dot on then let side, the name of the evet, and a hardly visible small edit button on the right side will appear.
    3. Click the edit button: the edit window will open.
    4. Scroll down to the large red Delete Event button.
    5. Click the Delete button.
    New iPad, latest IOS. I do not see the Trash icon mentioned in the other post. Maybe an earlier IOS.

  • I cant create new events in iCal on my Mac or display them

    Since a few days ago after upgrading to Lion when I want to create a new event it
    dosent show up in my calender. All the old events is shown and when I create an
    event for example on my iPhone and sync with iCal on my Mac I can see the
    new event.
    I click in the calender to make a new event, nothing shows up, but when syncing
    with my iPhone I can see the new event without any text because I didnt see the
    small eventbar to type in or make the right time for the event. Can anybody help
    me with this issue?

  • Creating new event in iCal from BBEdit data window.  Calendar number fails.

    When I try to create a new event in iCal I am getting the error "The variable theCalendarNumber is not defined." even though theCalendarNumber is supposed to be set in the preceding line. Does this have anything to do with embedding the tell application "iCal" within the tell application "BBEdit 6.5" loop?
    Before this error I was getting a NSContainerSpecifierError error. I think that was because I was trying to specify the calendar as a string instead of a number as required by Panther OS.

    You have a couple of issues here.
    First, the line:
    set theCalendarNumber to (first calendar whose title is theChoice)
    However, theChoice is defined at:
    set theChoice to (choose from list iCalendars with prompt "Choose the Calendar to use" OK button name "Choose" without multiple selections allowed and empty selection allowed)
    Since you're allowing multiple selections, theChoice will be a list.
    You can't get 'first calendar whose title is' a list. You will need to either permit single selections only, or extract the calendar name from the selected items (maybe iterating through them if you want to add the event to multiple calendars).
    Once you address that, the line:
    set theEvent to make new event at end of events of theCalendarNumber...
    also won't work because theCalendarNumber will be the name of a calendar, so this command tries to set the event to the end of events of a string. Instead you need to ask for the named calendar, like:
    set theEvent to make new event at end of events of calendar theCalendarNumber
    Then you should be set.
