Calendar 6.0 events

How can I change default event time to 8 hrs. in Calendar 6.0?

Macworld says it's not possible in settings but provides a command line switch to do it HERE.
Essentially, this is it:
Q: The default duration for new events is one hour. Can I change this?
A: Not using iCal’s interface or preferences, but, as often, there’s a way to do this using Terminal. Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities), and enter (or just copy and paste) the following text if you want to set your events to default to 30 minutes:
defaults write com.apple.iCal 'Default duration in minutes for new event' 30
Press Return. If iCal is running, quit the application and relaunch it for the change to take effect.
If you want a different duration, replace “30” with something else. If you want to change this back to the one-hour default, run the same command with 60 as the duration.

How do i get calendar syncing recurring events from outlook to iphone to handle daylight saving time

When I sync recurring events of my PC Outlook on to the iPhone calendar they appear one hour later during summer i.e. between Mar 26th and October 27. I have a weekly thing every wednesday at 8pm that appears at 9pm in summer - so outlook seems to be sending the info in UTC time but the IPhone isn't compensating for summer time.

What do you mean "correctly". If I enter a recurring (weekly) event in Outlook at say 8pm every Monday from February till December, then Outlook calendar propagates it at 8pm every Monday from February till December, and I can see it on each Monday regardless of whether it's standard time or summer time. However when I sync with the iPhone calendar through iTunes it transmits just the start date/time and end date, and the iPhone then recreates the series of events (provable because it creates occurences that I have deleted on Outlook). However it propagates the UTC time at the start date, and gets confused by the change to Summer Time in March (and Ocotber). The iphone "corrects" the (UTC) time for Summer Time so it starts at 8pm, all summer the event appears at 7pm, and goes back to 8 in November. I have tested across both boundaries - if a recurrence starts in summer time at 8pm then from November it gets an hour later, 9pm. And you can't solve it by turning off Local Time handling on the iPhone because then all individual events through the summer are an hour out. This is a bug.
Workaround - enter separate recurrent events for each time period, so in a calendar year 3 events: Jan-end March, April-end October, Nov-Dec

How can I add a contact on the calendar for an event

How can I add a contact on the calendar for an event

It is between Repeat and Alert on my iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0.1
I used the + on the top right to add the event and when you look vertically starting with the name, followed by location and then time the rest of the default things includ Invitees, among other items.

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?

Unable to edit "calendar" field of events with invitees

I am having a couple problems with the "calendar" drop-down field on calendar events.
This is on a 4S, iOS5, syncing calendars with iCloud.
If I create an event with an "invitee" (or add an invitee to an existing event), I can no longer change the "calendar" field of that event. In fact, the "calendar" drop-down doesn't even appear on the iPhone calendar app's "Edit" dialog for events that have an invitee. I can still change it via the web interface at www.icloud.com, and the change is even pushed to the iPhone. But on the iPhone itself, I cannot find a way to change the "calendar" field on an event that contains one or more "invitees".
Second, if I receive an "invitation" from someone else, I cannot find a way specify which of my calendars I want the event on when accepting it. I would expect it to go to the calendar I have defined as "default" in Settings, but it seems instead to go to the last calendar I created. And after accepting it, I cannot change it because the "Edit" dialog doesn't display the "calendar" field, as mentioned above. Again, I can change it via the web interface at www.icloud.com, but cannot find a way to change it directly on the iPhone.
Am I missing some way to edit/change the "calendar" field of an event with invitees? Or to select which calendar I want events to be on when I "accept" invitations from others?

I have the same problem. I recently updated to iOS5 and set up syncing through iCloud.
I was able to add one event into my iphone calendar app, but for the next event that I tried to add, there was no longer the option to choose a calendar and when I tried to add it by tapping "Done," an error message came up: "No calendar is set". and there was no way to select a calendar.
I was able to add the event on my Google Calendar on my laptop (PC), and it synced automatically, but I wasn't able to add any events from the iphone itself because "no calendar is set".
I tried turning off and on the phone and syncing back to my laptop, but the problem persisted.
I deleted the iCloud account on my iphone, and that seemed to fix the problem; I'm able to add events again from the iphone and it's syncing to my Google Calendar.
I then signed on to iCloud and setup syncing again, but turned off syncing everything except photostream, documents&data, and find my iphone since everything else would sync to outlook or internet explorer, neither of which I use.
That might have been the problem. For PC, iCloud will only sync to Outlook and Internet Explorer, and I don't have Outlook setup (can't connect to my work's email server with my account and the IT guys don't know how to fix it or they're too lazy to troubleshoot) and I only use Firefox and Chrome. Since iCloud isn't syncing to any calendars on Outlook, there aren't any calendars set...
I just did this a minute ago and everything seems to be back to normal, including the ability to choose a calendar when adding events.
I'll have to see if it the problem comes back

Yosemite Calendar - All day events are not showing

I have been using Apple Calendar for quite some time but after I upgraded to Yosemite All day events does not show in the calendar any more. Other events in my calendar is showing.
Environment:
1: I'm on Macbook Pro Retina, running Yosemite 10.10.1
2: Calendar is version 8.0 (2026)
3: I am using Google Calendar, added as account to Calendar
Problem/Bug:
This has been working fine on Maverick until this upgrade and I think it is a bug in Calendar.
1. I tried to add an all day event from Calendar, using my Google account calendar
2. Event is saved, but once saved it isn't shown in Calendar.
3. When I login to my Google account calendar, the event I created just created is shown nicely there!
I then tried adding a new calendar using my iCloud account, but same thing happened:
1. I tried to add an all day event from Calendar, using my iCloud account calendar
2. Event is saved, but once saved it isn't shown in Calendar
3. I once again try, this time by logging into my iCloud account, the event I created just created is shown!
This is really weird and a major issue as all-day events are kind of important to see when you are planning and scheduling meetings.
One additional thing, I'm not sure if it is related, I have Time zone support turned on as I am working across multiple time zones.
Anyone else that have encountered this?
Thanks in advance.
// Per

I have the same proble. In all views all day events don't show up. If I search for the event, there is a result but it does not appear in the calendar.

My calendar deletes all events over 30 days old?

Is it possible to edit the calendar that an event is on from the phone?

iPhone 2.0: I hope I'm not missing something here (though, I guess I hope I am), but is it possible to change the calendar that an event is on, after adding it to iPhone? In other words, first adding to Calendar an event to any of several calendars I have on my phone ("Home," for example), then going back to edit it to change the calendar to "Work," all from the phone itself? Going back to edit an event allows changing Title/Location, Starts/Ends, Repeat, Alert, Notes. Any thoughts? Thanks!

The option to change the calendar in edit mode is missing, which is a glaring oversight by Apple. I really makes no sense to omit this option. I will be very disappointed if it is not added in the next update. You either have to delete and add it as a new event in the proper calendar, or edit it in iCal on the computer.

Changing calendar in repeated events

Hi,
I am trying to find a way to cross out one of the repeated events without deleting it. This would help me to mark events that did not happen and would have to be rescheduled in future. I also tried creating one separate calendar for cancelled events, but instead of changing only one event in a series of repeated ones, it changes all of them.
I'd appreciate any advise on this - is this possible in iCal? Perhaps there is a separate extension or a plug in for this?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
When you try to alter a single event in a series, you should be asked whether you want to make the change to just this single event - or to all events after that date. Choosing only this event should alter just that one.
This should also work if you try to delete a single event from a series, but you won't be able to move a single event from a series into another calendar - that WILL move the entire series.
There's no way that I know of to 'cross out' the event, but you could change the event title to "CANCELLED <event title>" or something else that suits you.

Calendar's 2nd Event Alert auto swaps with 1st alert after pressing Done button in the default "Home" Calendar. Why?

Calendar's 2nd Event Alert auto swaps with 1st alert after pressing Done button in the default "Home" Calendar for IOS 7.1. Why? No such problem with the original IOS 6 that included in my iphone 5.

Anyone got any ideas?

My calendar keeps duplicating events.

My calendar keeps duplicating events. I noticed it happened after I turned the iCloud calendar back on. It ask me to merge events. Help anyone?

You get duplicates, one from iCloud and another when you sync with your computer, IF iTunes is set to sync from the computer to the iPhone. Check your device settings (general tab, IIRC) in iTunes.

HT1766 When backing up my iPhone does my calendar and all events back up as well?

When backing up my iPhone does my calendar and all event back up as well?

Hello Marsh1987,
Thank you for the question. Items that are synced through iCloud are not backed up through iCloud:
Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device. It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo streams, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519
If you have Calendars enabled in Settings > iCloud, they will be synced through iCloud so that you can view them on other devices that have Calendars enabled in the iCloud settings or at https://www.icloud.com/#calendar

My calendar widget shows events from several days ago.

My calendar widget shows events from several days ago instead of displaying the current day's events.

Hi Bernard,
I've also had a few strange errors while making iOS apps - odd popup errors 'like the ones your getting' would appear saying something unrelated to the real issue.
Take another look over your code around the area where you think the error happens, I had a left over 'playdone' command copied across from a large block of code (very sloppy) - anyway it cause the same type of problem
I find It's better to go off the error messages from your dir code on the mac - then the iOS projector errors.

I updated to ios 7 2 days ago and I synced with my computer for the first time yesterday. Most of my calendar appts and events were wiped off my phone but are still on the computer. I use outlook 2010 and a pc running windows 7.

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 7 two days ago and I synced with my computer for the first time yesterday. Most of my calendar appointments and events were wiped off my phone but are still on the computer. I use outlook 2010 and a pc running windows 7. Rebooting the phone and the computer failed to remedy the calendar sync problem.

Easy solution for restoring lost calendar informaiton, thank goodness. On your iPhone, go to settings, then to iCloud. If your Calendar selection is turned off, turn it on. Your info should restore. If your Calendar selection is turned on, then turn it off. Choose to save calendars when asked. After it shuts the Calendar off, turn it back on. Your info should be restored.
Thank you to Apple support for walking me through this. Shame on you Apple for not just telling people about this easy fix rather than making us go through all of this pain and worry.

TS3999 why does the calendar delete past events?

why does the calendar delete past events?

Hello 123Giblet,
The iPhone has a setting for how long a past event will appear in your calendar. I found steps to help you change this setting in the iPhone User Guide:
Calendar settings
There are several settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars that affect Calendar and your calendar accounts. These include:
•Syncing of past events (future events are always synced)
•Alert tone played for new meeting invitations
•Calendar time zone support, to show dates and times using a different time zone
When you tap on Sync, you will be given several options for how long you want past events to stay on your iPhone, and there is also an option to select All Events so that they remain on your calendar. You can find this information on page 69 of the iPhone User Guide
iPhone User Guide

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
