Adding event deletes calendar

I have three calendars called Scripts (has repeating events that run scripts), Special and Reminders. I created these a few weeks ago. I just tried to add a repeating event to the Reminders calendar. I tried two different ways:
With all calendars showing - add the event
With only reminders showing - add the event
In both cases during the process of adding the event, all events for the Scripts calendar are deleted.
This is driving me crazy since when I created the three calendars a few weeks ago I was able to selectively add events to any calendar.
Running the latest iCal 5.0.1 on Lion 10.7.2.

Gave up on this and recreated all three calendars again. Changed the name on the calendar previously called "Reminders" too "Tweaks" in case that caused an issue (pure WAG).
While recreating I opened and quit the iCal app several times with no problems. Will post here if the problem reoccurs. In the meantime I'm saving the iCal data in my Library every day and also the Prefs.

  • Ical keeps adding and deleting calendars!?

    Hi
    we are sharing one .mac account for ical, with same login between 2 people.
    ever since upgrading to tiger, and maybe before but i'm not sure, ical keeps on thinking events have changed and i get a pop up window that says for example, 11 calendars added, 6 deleted, 657 appointments modified.
    WHAT IS GOING ON!!?
    nothing has changed
    we do have timezones activated, but i don't understand why we are getting this issue. help please!

    I kept searching and found a solution from Kerry at http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage/browse_thre ad/thread/a758c477739cdab3/5b609b739511232e#5b609b739511232e
    Thanks!
    This worked for me. Of course, it means choosing to update either the Calendar or my Contacts but for now, this is better than the mess I was having. Here is Kerry's solution:
    *The best thing to do is sync only one module, in my case its Calendar as this is the thing I change all the time whereas I rarely change contacts.
    1. Go into Entourage PREFERENCES > SYNC SERVICES > UNCHECK SYNC SERVICES
    2. Back up your main Entourage identity and iCal.
    3. Open and Run iSync.
    4. Go into iSync prefs and reset sync history.
    5. Restore the iCal calendar from the backup. This resets sync services.
    6. Delete the Entourage calendar in iCal (this will avoid dups).
    7. Go to Entourage and in prefs in sync services enable (check)
    Calendar and when the popup appears choose Merge then OK. Entourage
    will recreate an Entourage calendar in iCal and populate it with its
    information (this takes a few seconds depending on the size of the
    calendar. Sync should work both ways now.
    Note: I would not turn on Contacts as this will cause sync services to become unstable again.

  • Adding Events in Calendar

    Is there a setting on iphone that will automatically set an alert when setting a new event within calendar (like it does in ical)?

    I have the same problem.

  • Problem adding events to calendar - they don't show up

    I have an intermittent and very strange problem which occurs when adding an event to the calendar on my iPhone 4 (Verizon - running latest iOS).
    I will create an event, fill out time, date, name, etc and click done, and then the event will not show up in the calendar. Sometimes I can go through this process five or six times in a row before the event finally appears. None of the other attempts ever show up later, and they're not findable via search, so I know this isn't either me doing something dumb (like entering the wrong date) or a delay of some kind.
    I am using MobileMe and the calendar in question is always a MobileMe calendar, simply because those are the only ones I use. I have not tested this with the iPhone local calendar.
    Recently, I experienced the same issue when deleting an event. It took a few tries before the deletion did anything.
    This occurs probably 80% of the time I create an event, and has always occurred. It NEVER happens when I create an event via a hyperlinked date/time shortcut suggestion in an email or the like.
    Has anyone experienced this?

    If you only have one account, it, inherently will be the default.
    On the iPhone, Settings >Mail, Contacts, Calendar
    Scroll down. In each section there should be a 'Default Account'. So one form Mail, Contacts and Calendar. Check that the one account you have / use is set to the default.

  • Adding events in calendar from numbers or text file

    Hey guys,
    Ive had a look around and it seems like theres a few similar requests, but I'm not great at scripting and the like.
    Essentially we have our shifts in either .txt or .numbers format and am just wanting to import them into ical as events with a start time, end time, location and name.
    Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
    I've attached a copy of what i get, hopefully its helpful.
    Thnaks, Ben.

    Had to guess about your Numbers table format. You mention start, end, location, and "name" but I can only see start and end.
    If you have a source table in Numbers somewhat like this:
    start date
    end date
    location
    summary
    9/15/14 12:00:00 PM
    9/15/14 1:00:00 PM
    The office
    Event Title 1
    9/15/14 2:00:00 PM
    9/15/14 3:00:00 PM
    The office
    Event Title 2
    Then a script like this should work (copy into AppleScript Editor, click anywhere in source table, and run):
    property calendarName : "Test" -- name of target calendar -- must exist in Calendar App
    property firstDataRow : 2 -- 2 if have a Header Row in table
    -- map these to column numbers in your table:
    property sdtCol : 1 --  start date-time column number
    property edtCol : 2 --  end date-time column number
    property locCol : 3 -- location column number
    property summCol : 4 -- summary (title) column number
    property localTimeAdj : (time to GMT) -- to convert back to local time
    tell application "Numbers"
      set t to front document's active sheet's first table whose selection range's class is range
      set vv to t's rows's cells's value -- place values in "list of lists"
      repeat with r from firstDataRow to count vv
       tell vv's item r
        try
         set startDT to (item sdtCol) - localTimeAdj
         set endDT to (item edtCol) - localTimeAdj
         set locat to item locCol
         set summary to item summCol
       end try
       if item 1 is not missing value then my createEvent(calendarName, summary, startDT, endDT, locat)
       end tell
      end repeat
    end tell
    to createEvent(calName, cSumm, cStart, cEnd, cLoc)
      tell application "Calendar"
       tell (first calendar whose name is calName)
        make new event at end of events with properties ¬
      {summary:cSumm, start date:cStart, end date:cEnd, location:cLoc}
       end tell
      end tell
    end createEvent
    Usage notes:
    Be sure to click somewhere in the table before running the script. Otherwise it won't know which table you mean.
    This assumes you have Numbers 3.  Numbers 2 would require some adjustments.
    Be sure to edit the calendarName property to match the name of your target calendar in the Calendar app, and the other properties to match your table.

  • Adding event on calendar

    Hello I have noticed when you add an event on the iphone to your calendar and you need it to repeat there is no custom option to be able to select wich days of the week you need it to repeat. am I being forced to correct it on my computer or is this one of the wants we need to comunicate ti apple for the update.

    *"Hello I have noticed when you add an event on the iphone to your calendar and you need it to repeat there is no custom option to be able to select wich days of the week you need it to repeat."*
    Correct! There's no option for a "specific" day to repeat. The only options are the ones given (ex. Every Day, Every Week, etc.) unless you go to each specific day and manually add your event.

  • Outlook Calendar items added and deleted at same time

    I have several repeating calendar items (like birthdays) in my Outlook calendar.  When I sync, I find that some are added (that I thought were there before) but some show as added and deleted at the same time to my blackberry... any ideas what may be causing the confusion?

    I find myself with the same issue, I just wiped my computer and began syncing and installing all programs back into laptop,now i have noticed that outlook does not add the some events in my calender, for instance, birthdays , one thing that i have noticed is that it only syncs items that have my work email, my other 2 emails are not being synced and those are my blackberry and personal emails.
    my syncing preferences are made to go both way sync ... what seems to be the problem 
    thanks 

  • Calendar events deleted

    While trying to get new events that I had added to my iTouch onto iCal and MobileMe (still unsuccessful), one event I added was deleted and two that I changed (time and date) went back to the old time and date. All of these events were added/modified today on my iTouch. Is there any way to restore them and/or make sure this doesn't happen again? They never showed up on iCal or MobileMe. I am hoping they are the only things that were erased...
    I'm feeling very over this iTouch and thinking I need to just go back to my old Palm. Especially now that I have to call two doctor's offices to ask about appointments I just made.

    Did you sync the BB with your Computer?
    If you're using Outlook, check if your calendar events are still there.

  • Deleting calendar invites does not remove the event from calendar

    i regularly get calendar invites that i do not want cluttering my calendar.  on my PC, i can easily delete or decline them without sending a response, which is the easiest way to deal with them.  but if i open the invite mail message on my iphone, the event gets added to my calendar automatically.  what's worse, if i delete the email message containing the invite, the event stays on my calendar.  if i tap the event, i'm given the choices of accept, maybe, or decline.  if i decline, it sends a message to the organizer.  this actually leads to more problems, like a senior person wondering why i declined their event, or a junior person sending invites to the entire office and complaining about all the declines.  it's even worse if a client sends an invite for a project i'm not involved with.
    is there some setting i need to enable to ensure that when i delete an email containing a calendar/outlook invite, the event is deleted (or better yet, never added) to my calendar? 

    Why has no one helped? This is a reasonable question but all similar strands are left unanswered. Why wouldn't people want to hold on to the information about old appointments?

  • ICal Help Needed! (cannot delete calendars/events on computer and iPhone)

    Hi Everyone,
    I need some help with my iCal. Background info:
    -Currently have an iPhone 3GS
    -Using Google Calendar
    -Use separate calendar on iPhone (Pocket Informant)
    -Wanted to sync all event from Outlook to Google Calendar to iCal to two calendars on phone (this became an issue with alarms so began attempting to delete all events from the original iPhone calendar that I do not want to use)
    I started by syncing my Outlook (one way) with my Google Calendar, which syncs with the iCal on computer and Pocket Informant on iPhone, as well as iCal on iPhone. Duplicate alarms started occurring on the phone (PI and iCal). I then attempted to delete all events from the iCal on the computer. One calendar remains, one that I subscribed to from Yahoo Sports. I have tried everything to delete this calendar, but it seems impossible. After I sync the phone, the subscribed calendar shows up as well as birthdays and one calendar from my Google Calendar, on my phone.
    So, the issues, and what I would eventually like to see:
    1. I would like all events cleared from iCal on computer (currently just subscribed calendar that will not delete)
    2. I would like to delete all events from calendar on phone (subscribed calendar, birthdays, and one calendar from Google) *I cannot even delete these events by hand on my phone.
    3. In the end I would like to just continue to sync Outlook with Google which syncs with PI and then do nothing with iCal (on phone and computer) *Well really I would like events from Google synced with iCal on computer, but this doesn't seem feasible so I would settle with not using it at all.
    The only thing I can think of to do at this point is to delete iCal, but I am not even sure this would correct the calendar issue on my phone as I am unable to delete that and the sync does not seem to be working correctly.
    Any help on this would be much appreciated!
    Thank you in advance!!

    The edit feature was working correctly with the calendars and stopped. Performed a sync through iTunes removing syncing preferences first. Did not resolve the issue. I am considering restoring the iphone.

  • Is there a way to automatically update events in the Outlook 2010 calendar when adding events in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010?

    I am using Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. I have synced my Outlook calendar with my iPhone using the iCloud Control Panel. This is great, but when I add an event in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010 and subsequently send out invitations to the event, I get the following error:
    "This meeting is not in the Calendar folder for this account. Responses to this meeting will not be tallied. Do you want to send anyway?"
    I select "Yes" and the invite goes out. However, when invitees receive the email invitation, there should be 2 emails - one from Outlook and one from iCloud. The iCloud invite does not always come through. If the invitee responds to the Outlook email invite, it does not show up on the iCloud Calendar.
    Is there a reason that the iCloud email is not always sent or is there a way to some how update the Windows Outlook Calendar when adding events in the iCloud Calendar through Outlook?

    I have just discovered this problem as well.
    Very annoying!
    Now all off my meetings entered in Outlook on my desktop PC are not syncing with my ipad and iphone.
    If I had known this would have happened I would never have downloaded Version 2.0 of the icloud control panel.
    Does anyone know how I can get the earlier version back?

  • Web event receiver when adding or deleting a SharePoint hosted app

    Hi,
    Is it possible to start an action when a SharePoint hosted app is added or deleted from a site collection on our SharePoint 2013 farm on premise?
    Also for public apps. Therefore, working with ‘App events’ are not an option.
    It tried already with a web event receiver: ‘OnSiteCreated’ and ‘WebDeleting’, but this is not working with appweb's.
    When I create a normal subsite, the event is fired. When I added an app to the site, the event is not fired.

    Johan
