Add New Event (repeating) possible?

I've got a repeating event that I would like to post to my Calendar. Problem is that it does not repeat on the same day of the week. It repeats on the same #day of each month.
-Is my best bet to Create an Event... then Copy/Paste it to the other dates?
-Is there a way that I can add a Repeating Event for the 5th & 20th of each month?

Lamont,
Have you tried...
repeat: Custom
Frequency: Monthly
Every: 1 Month
Each: 5/20

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!

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

My calendar will no longer let me add new event or delete them, it comes up with an error saying "cannot save event, no end date set" or "event does not belong to that event store". can anyone help with this?

Hi,
To configure your ODBC DataSource, go to Control Panel ---> DataSources(ODBC) (If you are in a Windows environment).
Select the tab System DSN. If you have not added your data source, then do so by clicking on the Add button. If you have added the datasource, click on the Configure button to configure it.
Give the datasource name, then the database name.
You have to give the hostname, service name and server name. I guess, in most cases, the datasource name and host name will be the same, service name and server name will be the same. If you are using TCP/IP, the protocol will be onsoctcp.
There will be a file named Services under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc where you have to give the port number for accessing this server.
It will be like this <service name> <portnumber>/tcp
Hope this helps...
best wishes,
Nish

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.)

Any way to quickly add new event without opening or switching apps?

Does anyone know of a way (or software hack) to allow me to quickly add a new event without having to either open iCal or make it the active application? Even something as simple as "add new event" to the right-click of the dockbar icon (ala "Compose new message" with Mail) would be a help. There's just so many times I want to quickly add something, but don't need to be bothered with the application taking up my screen, etc.
Thanks.

ICal - Cannot add new events

Having an issue where iCal is not allowing us to add new events. It will allow you to add events on the iPhone, and when you sync, it adds those events, but it will not allow events to be added from the iCal application on the Mac itself. The user is using Mobile Me, which I am not familiar with. Could there be a setting that disallows new events to be added in iCal on the Mac, and only accepts events from the iPhone?
Thanks!

I am STILL having this problem and I tried your test admin approach, but it still hasn't fixed MY account. I can log in on my husband's account, or a test admin user account, and I can add events to iCal. When I switch back to my own account (the main account on the computer that is used all the time) -- no go - it still won't let me add events.
Anyone have a guess as to why the problem would be affecting one account only, but not the others?

Opened ical and all my events were erased and all my calendar accounts were gone and it will not allow me to add new events or new accounts

I opened my ical and all my events had been erased and all my claendar accounts were gone and it will not allow me to add new events or accounts.

Hi John,
Thanks so much for wading in. I did exactly what you suggested - glad you gave me the hint about how to access my library files. There was only one document that seemed to have anything to do with cache, and that was called Calendar Cache. (I've attached a screen capture of all the files incase I should have deleted something else as well.) I deleted Calendar Cache then restarted iCal, but after updating I was still unable to add new events.
Is there anything else you can suggest?
Thanks again,
Susan

Ical missing the can't add new events! Help?

The plus sign is missing from my ical on my iPad, how do i get it back to add new events?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

TS3999 Calendar - cannot add new event

After last iOS update I can no longer add new events to my calendar. I also cannot turn on my location services.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Do you have restrictions turned on.

Iphone 4s calendar events disappeared and I cannot add new events

I have an iphone 4s with ios 7. Suddenly all events I added on my calendar disappeared and I cannot add new events. The plus sign+ is there but it is light grey and will not activate. I do not sync it with any other calendar

What account were you using to sync your Calendar? Make sure that account is added to the device, and make sure that Calendars is turned on for that account.
Then, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and make sure that under the Calendar section that 'Sync' is set to 'All Events'.
Then go to the Calendar app, go to Calendars, and make sure that you have that account enabled.
Then, close out all the running apps on your device, and restart it.
Open up your Calendar app. Are your entries back?

Unable to add new event in iCal

OK, this may be a total newbie question, as this is only my 2nd day with a Mac, but I can't add an event in iCal.
My calendar is a Google Calendar, and I have successfully set this up in iCal (I can see all my events). However, I can't find a way to add an event! The File > New Event is greyed out, and the keyboard shortcut doesn't work either.
I'm guessing it's got something to do with how I've set things up, but I have no idea where to go from here.

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

Unable to add new event in iCal on iphone 4s

ICal 3.0.6: all events gone, cannot add new events either, needs force quit

Hello,
I am experiencing the same behaviour seen by others on the list. It probably occured due to the OSX upgrade to 10.5.6. I hadn't used iCal much since Dec 10 or so and only noticed the anomalous behaviour yesterday.
What I see:
- iCal comes up but all previous events are no longer in it
- The default Home and Work calendars are also gone
- The left bottom section of iCal shows January 2001 and the forward/back buttons do not work in the this subwindow
- I cannot add any new events
- I can only close iCal by using force quit
My events and calendars files are still available in the ~\Library\Calendars folder but I cannot import them into iCal. File->Import->Import an iCal file does not work (a finder like window does not appear to allow me to choose a file).
I have tried the following:
- moving com.apple.iCal.plist to the desktop and login/logout
- moving Calendar Cache to the desktop and login/logout
- login using another account and tried to use iCal. no go.
I haven't tried to install an older version of iCal from the OSX DVD yet.
Any ideas?

I am having the same behavior. In the past with many major OSX upgrades this has happened and I had to get a previous copy from Time Machine. Right now my Time Machine copy is dead and I can't do it. I tried getting an older copy of iCal but it is exhibiting the same behavior!! I can't synch the calendar with my iPhone, either! No, I do not want to reinstall Leopard from scratch on this machine just to replace iCal - that is ABSURD!! This is the 3rd or 4th time this has happened. I don't have 4 - 6 hours of my time to fix this kind of problem every couple of months - not to mention several spare hard drives, etc.
What is causing this problem, and how can we get iCal back??
How about a simple iCal reinstall utility page on the Apple Web site if this is going to keep happening??

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

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.
