Calendar cannot add new events without crashing 7.0.4

App hangs and eventually closes every time upon clicking "done" when adding new events

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??

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.

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?

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?

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?

Cannot add new event on calender

It appears that I can add a new event--plus-sign takes me to the add event screen where I can put in all the details of a new event. Except, when I tap "done", the result is the same as tapping "cancel".
I already tried to fix by restoring to factory settings. I then restored everything from my PC back-up. But the glitch remains.

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

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.

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 have a new IPAD. There are no "list", "date," and "add a reminder" buttons on the Reminder app. There are also no "calendar" and "add an event" bottons on the Calendar App. Why?

I just bought a new IPAD. There are no "list", "date," and "add a reminder" buttons on the Reminder App. There are also no "calendar" and "add an event" buttons on the Calendar App. Why? Is there a way to add either a reminder or an event?

For the reminders app - just tap on an open space on the ruled paper window under the heading in order to create a new reminder. Or tap on the + sign in the upper right corner of the app. You do not have the + sign on the app?
For the calendars app to go Settings>iCloud>Calendars>On. Toggle the setting on and off and the + sign should appear in the lower right corner of the calendars app. Tap the + sign to create a new event.

Tap the little claendar icon at the top left (next to the search icon) and see what calendars are set up in WeekCal. If none are enabled, then enable the one(s) you want to use.

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

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.
