Calendar no longer expands panel to edit event date/time

This issue just occurred out of the blue. When editing event details in the calendar, I click on the date/time panel to edit the date/time/repeat/etc. The expected action is for that panel to expand and be scrollable. What it is doing now is showing the prompts, but not expanding/giving a scroll and smushes everything together. Any ideas on what could be causing this and how to resolve? Screenshot of the issue:
I'm on Yosemite 10.10.1 and Calendar 8.0 (2026)

As always, I have no "Edit" button even one minute after posting, so I reply to my own post. I did also trash "com.apple.Calendar.plist", no change at all either in my chosen preferences or in the missing messages issue,

Viewing calendar when editing event date

Hi all
I'm sure this is a question that has been asked before but I've not been able to figure the correct search terms.
I'm a fairly new iCal user..
When editing an event, I want to be able to pop-up a calendar to select a date from. At the moment I can type the date but can't seem to figure out how to bring up a little calendar to select one from.
Tips please?
Cheers
Craig

lower left hand corner- mini calendars click it and begin
This shows me a calendar but if I click on that while editing an event it takes me to that date and aborts my edit.
The question is question - can iCal let me select dates, while editing, from a small pop-up calendar? Instead or having to type them in?

How do you edit date/time title slide???

I've used date/time title slides in my movie, but I can't edit the date/time. I want the time of the clip, instead it just shows the date/time I inserted the title into the movie. On other title slides, you just click on the info to edit but it doesn't seem to work???
Thanks

It will pick up the metadata from the clip.
So the first thing to check is whether your clip has metadata. Click VIEW/PLAYHEAD INFO and skim your mouse over the clip. Do you see any data and time info?
You can add date and time info in iMovie by right-clicking on the Event clip and editing the date and time. i am not sure if this will populate the title, but it might. In older versions of iMovie, it would not.
A better solution (assuming you know the date and time) is to select that clip in the Event.
Then right-click on the clip and select Reveal in Finder.
In the Finder, right-click/COPY. Go to your desktop and right-click PASTE. On this copy of the clip, change the name of the clip to clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss;ext where hh is hours in 24 hour time, ext is the current extension, and the rest should be self explanatory.
Once you have done this, import it into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT/MOVIES...
It is OK to import it into the same Event.
Now it should have the correct date and time metadata.

How to return a specific date/time range and last event details, when checking the event log via command prompt

I am new to scripting (literally started reading/learning scripting a few hours ago), and I am stuck in trying to get my current script/command to filter a specific date range.
* Note: I am working with Server 2003 and 2008; because of the environment I am in, a lot of scripts (such as Powershell and VBScript) don't work; trying to stick with command line, as it appears to be the only thing that functions correctly in my environment
I am trying to search the System log in event viewer, for the most recent server reboot. Here is the command that I am currently running:
===========================================================
C:\Windows\System32\cscript C:\Windows\System32\eventquery.vbs /L System /FI "id eq 1074"
===========================================================
When run, the output looks like this:
===========================================================
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6

Listing the events in 'system' log of host 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

Information 1074
10/23/2013 2:06:09 AM USER32
===========================================================
What I would like it to do is only show events that have happened in the last seven days, as well as show the event details if it does find an event that matches the criteria.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Nick

I would prefer using Powershell , you can use below code
function Get-EventViewer
param(
[string[]]$ComputerName = $ENV:COMPUTERNAME,[string]$LogName,[int]$eventid
$Object =@()
foreach ($Computer in $ComputerName)
$ApplicationEvents = get-eventlog -logname $LogName -cn $computer -after (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) | ?{$_.eventid -eq "$eventid" }
foreach ($event in $ApplicationEvents) {
$Object += New-Object -Type PSObject -Property @{
ComputerName = $Computer.ToUpper();
TimeGenerated = $event.TimeGenerated;
EntryType = $event.EntryType;
Source = $event.Source;
Message = $event.Message;
$column1 = @{expression="ComputerName"; width=12; label="ComputerName"; alignment="left"}
$column2 = @{expression="TimeGenerated"; width=22; label="TimeGenerated"; alignment="left"}
$column3 = @{expression="EntryType"; width=10; label="EntryType"; alignment="left"}
$column4 = @{expression="Source"; width=15; label="Source"; alignment="left"}
$column5 = @{expression="Message"; width=100; label="Message"; alignment="left"}
$Object|format-table $column1, $column2, $column3 ,$column4 ,$column5
$Object.GetEnumerator() | Out-GridView -Title "Event Viewer"
You can do a function call like
Get-EventViewer -LogName system -ComputerName "computername" -eventid "2017"

User status- when selected it logs date/time & User in Work Not. long text

Hello,
Is there a way when a user clicks on a user status on Work Notification the long text will be updated to date/time and username.
For example:
If we have 3 approval process: Supervisor Approved, Deputy Manager Approved,, and Manager Approved.
When the Supervior press the Supervior Approved (User Status and saves) the long text on the Work Notification will update with log of time/date & user. Then the same for the next 2 approvals.
This will help us a lot.
Thanks,

Jay,
I really dont know why you guys need to update the long text when user status has been changed. You could simply trigger the email to the approver who needs to be notified. but anyway if this is your rqmt, I think you can do it thru field exit. Talk to ABAPer and get a help from him

Can no longer edit events in Calendar on iPod 2ndG

We have a MP, MBP, iPhone 4S and iPod 2nd G and to be able to sync Calendar and other programs on iCloud we installed Lion. We used to sync the iiPod to the MP but after switching to Lion shifted it to the MBP and she can no longer edit events on Calendar. Is this a setting problem or is it an issue with the IOS 4 on the iPod? Do we have to get an iPod that will accept IOS 5?

Doing an entire report in a table is such a bad idea and really unnecessary.
Sounds like you need to update both Pages and your user tag.
Are you actually on OSX 10.6.8 and what version of Pages are you using?
Menu > Pages > About Pages

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

Edit events in iCal on Wiki calendar

I know that it's by default not supported, the editing of events from the Wiki calendar in iCal, but still I wanna know if there's a work around.
Does anybody know if there's a work around, coding-wise, programming-wise or whatever-wise, to be able to edit events from the Wiki calendar in iCal?
Now I get a message every time I wanna edit an event that i can't edit it from iCal. But I want other people who sign up to the calendar also to be able to edit the events from their own calendar program.

Hello there skier3,
You should be able to edit an event in the Calendars app by tapping the event in quuestion and then tapping edit shown here:
iCloud: Using iCloud Calendars with Calendar and iCal
Tap the event to display event details, including the name of the calendar that contains the event:

How to edit events on a iCloud-shared calendar through iCal? It works fine on my iPhone.

After my software update, my calendar no longer syncs w my PC

After my recent update to IOS6, my calendar no longer syncs with my PC, yet my iPod touch is fine.

Make sure you are running the latest version of iCloud control panel for Windows (ver. 4) by running Apple Software Update and installing any available updates. If you install an update, restart your PC, then try calendar syncing again.
If that wasn't the issue, try force-closing the calendar app on your iPad (double-tap the home button, swipe up on the calendar app, tap the home button again), then reset your iPad (hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release). After it restarts, try adding a new calendar event and see if it appears on your PC now.
If not, try going to Settings>iCloud on your iPad, tap Sign Out, choose Delete from My iPad and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud). Then reset your iPad again and test calendar syncing.

Calendar no longer pops up a message

I have used iCal and now Calendar for many years. For every event, I choose to show "Message with Sound" for the alert. In the past few weeks, I noticed I no longer get any on-screen pop-up message. Not sure of the proper term for that, but my choice for each event is the same: "Message with Sound", so maybe it is called "message". I do get the sound alert, just am now missing the tiny even message window that used to pop up.
Here is an odd chain of events...
I looked in ~/Preferences to try trashing something, found only "com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist" as an obvious choice. I expected to find com.apple.Calendar.plist, but no such file. When I launched Calendar, it showed no change at all in any of my preference settings, and I do have several settings that are not default, such as "Start week on Monday" and "Alerts > Event: At time of event" instead of 15 minutes before.
After re-launching Calendar, I noticed a new file, "com.apple.Calendar.plist" appeared in ~/Preferences. I always use column view, so it isn't possible that i missed it before; this file was not there before. Nonetheless, the alert sounds with no message window issue continues.
Does anyone know how to restore the alert window?

As always, I have no "Edit" button even one minute after posting, so I reply to my own post. I did also trash "com.apple.Calendar.plist", no change at all either in my chosen preferences or in the missing messages issue,

ICal cant edit events in Gmail cal

I feel like this is old news based on what I read already but it was all posts at least 3 years old and not EXACTLY the same situation.
I've got my GMail calendar tied to iCal. Changes made on on end (whether in Google Calendar or within iCal) update on the other end, but in iCal I seem to be restricted in a way.
When I create a new event, I can't get the dialogue window that lets me set details like time, event name and details. By default they are set at 12:00 AM - 1:00 AM, unless I go to the Day calendar in which case I can grab the borders and drag to change the time. The text, however, is permanent in iCal. While changes made in Google will be reflected, once I hit Enter, the text stays.
I can deal with the fact that I don't get the dialogue box with all the options, since it is probably related to the fact that what I'm actually editing is my Google calendar and so I can only tell it the time and details. But what I don't like is how finnicky it is at even setting up the time (I *must* go to Day calendar and adjust it there) and that I can't change details in the text without going in Google.
I've read that it might be related to requiring a 3rd party server but I'm hoping to avoid this.

I went back, fiddled more, and wrote the following... but NOW, it seems to work fine. I don't believe I did anything beyond restarting iCal again.
Of course, right after I posted that, I went back to iCal and tried again.
What I discovered is when I right click an event and choose Get Info, the box that normally pops up (with the option to Edit the posting) is showing, but way off screen. Its position is tied to the iCal window, so if i drag iCal way off to the left, the Edit window comes on-screen to my right. I can't seem to make it stick, though.
This is driving me nuts, like there's a preferences file that says that box should open off-screen and I need to edit the values or something..??

Calendar on iOS 7.1: Cannot Save Event - That event does not belong to that event store.

Hi All,
I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.
Yesterday, while updating a birthday in the iPhone iOS calendar app (default calendar = GMail), I noticed that the new 'List View' in the iOS 7.1 calendar (and only that view) showed an event called 'New Event' - which has a start date of 2014 and an end date of 2001. If I go into that event, it will show me no title and no location - only, as mentioned, funny start and end times. The 'Delete Event' button is completely missing. This 'New Event' does not come up in any other view.
Trying to input a ficticious title with a valid start and end time into that event slot leads to a message from the calendar app saying: "Cannot Save Event - That event does not belong to that event store." I have deleted all calendars and re-add them again via settings, with / without soft and hard reset and tried every possible combination. Yet, the event will not disappear.
The funny thing is that this 'New Event' will still showed up, even when my GMail, work and iCloud calendars were disabled. I have, however, subscribed to a GMail calendar for Australian holidays, and there is a built-in 'Birthday' calendar that pulls the dates from the contacts (I do not use that contact field, though).
Does anyone have a similar issue? Any suggestions how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: This 'New Event' does not seem to sync to any calendar other than on the iPhone - not to Gmail, not to work, not to iCloud.

Had same problem. Although the phone looks off it actually isnt. If you actually turn it off and then on again this problem will disappear. I think its a memory overload issue that is solved by clearing the memory by turning it off.
Worked for me

IPhone 4 calendar entries get duplicated for all day events

Hi all,
A new one, I have an iPhone 4 which is duplicating all day events for no reason. You can delete one of the events and then it promptly shows up again. The other two all day events for the same item can not be edited or deleted. They originally where doing the same thing on the Mac but I resolved that by following Apple's support info on deleting the cache and resetting sync history. The Mac shows the correct calendar info just the iPhone is doing the duplicates. I've removed the iPhone calendar and then added it back to the iPhone to have the same thing happen. I've also copied all calendar info to a new calendar, removed the old one from iCal and the phone and synced the new one to have the same thing happen again. I am not using Mobile Me, never have and don't have an account so it's not that.

Angus,
I've found a solution that worked for me. I hope it works for you too:
1. Make a backup of your Mac iCal. (It's not a step to recover the data in case something go wrong, we'll need the backup file for sure)
2. Download iCal Dupe Deleter from http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
3. Run iCal Dupe Deleter and select the calendar in wich you have the duplicated events. Then press the "Test selected calendar" button.
4. If the app finds any duplicates, another button will appear. Press it and follow the steps.
5. Once iCal Dupe Deleter has opened iCal and restored the data with the new one, load the backup file that you saved on step 1 and restore.
6. Sync your iPhone with iTunes as you usually do and your iPhone calendar will be perfect again.
Please, let me know if it works for you.

Calendar no longer sends data to iphone since I got a new PC with Outlook 2010

My iphone 4 used to happily sync with my old PC (Windows XP) but I've got a new PC with Outlook 2010 and the calendar no longer sends data from the PC to the iphone.
I've used the Help questions here and created a new event on my phone which has now created a new calendar on the PC, so I have 2 calendars now, one with all events in and one only with events which are also on my phone.
No new events added to my calendar are ending up on my phone.
How do I:
a: get rid of the new calendar which has opened (it is called "Outlook Data File", the existing one, which I want to keep, is called "Personal Folders)
b: get the calendar to send info to my phone and back?
