Calendar App on iPad can't add events or toggle calendars

Something strange is going on with my Calendar app (New iPad...iOS5). It was working fine, with my local calendar and 2 subscribed calendars. But, after going in to Settings and turning on Calendar sync for my Google account, now when I open Calendar there's no button in the top left to select which calendars to view, delete calendars, change calendar colors, etc...And, there's no [+] icon in the lower right to add new events. The calendars are showing up, but it's like the entire app is now read only or something.
Any ideas how I can get the missing buttons back? I've tried re-starting the iPad, but that didn't do anything. I turned off the Google sync, thinking that may have been the problem, but that also had no affect.

Found the issue. (Love it when that happens...)
Turns out my Google password was somehow forgotten/blank. I didn't discover that until opening Mail and it prompted me for my Google password. Once I entered the Google password, the buttons and functionality returned to the Calendar app.
Seems like an odd little bug. Frustrating for sure, but luckily it's easily solved.

Can't add events to 2012 calendar app on iPad 2 iOS 6.0.1

Don't know why but I can't add any event to 2012 year instead creating event to 2013 that works perfectly.
Any suggestions.
Cheers. Jexgal

Here again.
Just checked that turning off and then on Calendar iColud Sync doesn't seem to work either.
I tried this as an old solution for some troubleshooting with Calendar but with no result.
Keeping trying to find a solution.

Can't add events to iCloud calendars on my iPhone

I have my phone and Mac set up on iCloud, and my iCloud calendars show up on my phone. But when I make a new event on my phone, I can't add them to my iCloud calendars. Thanks.

OK, a simple restart of the iPad fixed the calendar problem, but now my contacts are gone!!

HT4623 I can't add events to my calendar. The + sign that used to be at the top right corner is missing.

Hi,
I've been trying to fix my iphone calendar from what other folks have written on my issue, but nothing seems to be working. I can't add any events, since the + sign is missing. I've enabled and disabled and re-enabled icloud, rebooted the whole phone on iTunes, and fiddled around with every setting with no luck. Any other suggestions?? Are there other calendar apps that work as well or better than the iphone calendar?

Just found the answer in the previously listed questions. Thanks!

Can't add events to icloud calendar

I have problems syncing my iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pro for the calendars. I added and event on each device and I never see all the others. Let say I put the event "test iPad" on the iPad, "test iPhone" from the iPhone et "test mac" on my MacBook Pro. Also I wen't on the iCloud calendar and when I try to add an event it says Impossible to create event "test from mac" because of an error on the server. Please try again. I also send the information to Apple but it's been like that for a while and I never get a solution.
By the way, the sync works fine for notes and contact.

Hello nicolefromwinterthur,
The article below may help explain how Microsoft Outlook calendars appear on your computer and iOS device. Are you making your new entries in the iCloud calendar on your PC ?(see pink highlight in the image below). I've highlighted the information about Outlook Calendar for you. Click on the link for complete details.
iCloud: Microsoft Exchange behavior with iCloud - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-za/HT202375
Microsoft Outlook Calendar: Outlook also displays iCloud and Exchange data separately. Exchange data typically appears within the My Calendars section, as in the example below with Calendar under My Calendars.
Outlook has a descriptive note about which collection your calendars belong to next to the Calendar title in the left panel of Outlook. Your local Outlook data (that is, data not belonging to either iCloud or Exchange) also appears within the My Calendars section of Outlook. Local Outlook data will have the description Outlook Data File next to the calendar title, while Exchange data will have your Exchange email address or account name next to the Calendar title. iCloud calendars have iCloud next to the calendar title, and appear in the iCloud section of Outlook Calendar instead of the My Calendars section.
Cheers,
- Judy

Can't add event to Google calendar, keep getting error message.

Have Firefox 4.0.1. Google is my home page. Starting Thursday, I couldn't save new events on my Google Calendar. I did not update the latest update b/c I am concerned that it will interfere w/ my Google calendar (my lifeline for work) and that it will stop my AmEx card from showing deals when I go to buy something.

Hi there!

I am getting a pop up window that says "The Calendar calendar does not support events" You can't add events to the Calendar calendar

I recently did some HD clean up and I'm plagued by this window. I can get it to go away briefly if I restart the computer but it always comes back.
Weird!

Hi wcb82,
If you keep getting these messages, you may need to delete the subscription to that calendar. You may find the following article useful:

The plus sign on my calendar has disappeared....can't add events?.

The plus sign in the lower right corner of the calendar app that allows you to add events to the calendar has disappeared. I have turned the iPad off and back on....recharged it....nothing. Help!

Go to Settings>iCloud>Calendar>On. Toggle the setting on and off. Leave it on if you want to sync with iCloud, but do not sync the calendar with your computer if you sync with iCloud or you will get duplicate events.

Unable to add events to my calendar

After updating to ios5, I can't add events to my calendar. The + sign is missing from the top of the screen. Any ideas?

I have the same problem, but none of the answers worked for me. When I enable the iCloud calendar, the settings app crashes. I have restarted the iPhone a lot of times but it doesn't work. Probably I will reinstall the IOS to see if it works.

I have downloaded a calendar app but can't add events. I have gone to settings but can't locate default calendar as suggested, turned the iPad off etc as suggested.

You got the new iphone????? I have same problem. I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was). Have you found a solution????? I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked.

I cannot add an event on my iPhone or iPad calendars. The "plus" button, or add event button does not even appear when I open the app.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, that did not fix it. I changed the sync setting as you described, but I still don't get my older events. I have turned my IOS devices off and on again too. One more piece of information, the only events I see for October are recurring events. Either one day events like birthdays set to repeat every year, or events within the month that spanned more than one day. No one time events or appointments are showing.

I updated my iphone to OS 5.0.1 and i can not add events to my iphone calendar- does anyone know how to fix this issue?

I updated today to the 5.0.1 and now when I try to sync to ITunes, it doesn't recognize my phone and an error message comes up saying that "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started.' What does this mean? Never mind - I found an article in the Support about this very thing! Thanks!

I have an I Phone 4s and have never been able to add events to the calendar. The phone has NO plus sign. Syncing with I Cloud does not help. The only thing I can do on my calendar is see the dates. Can you help?

When I go to I Cloud and try to turn on Calendars, it automatically turns back off. No matter how many times I turn it on, it still turns back off.
