Calendar stuck on add event screen.

I was trying to add an event in my calendar and now the calendar is stuck on the add event screen. Went to I-Tunes and restored my phone, but calendar still remains on the add event screen. How do I fix this?

Thank you for your response. No, that is not the same screen. I know which screen you are talking about. The screen I am having trouble with does not respond to anything I do. It is just a calendar showing me two or three dates with blank event squares. I try to tap the dates, but nothing happens. I have tapped on the few squares to no avail. When I go back to my home screen and select Calendar again I continue to get the same screen. I was very frustrated and waited for my grandson to check it out and of course it went right to the screen to add events. Since then, I have had it happen again many times, but if I just give up for 30 minutes or so, it seems to reset itself. I do not like this 7.0.4 format! This has not been my only problem. I would welcome any other suggestions.

Stuck in add event

Can't get out of add event in calender

Try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

How do I add events to my calendar on iPad mini

The + sign on my calendar is greyed out so I can't add an event. I've tried asking Siri to add an event but when I get to the end and press confirm he says he can't do this but can't tell me why. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it? I have the iPad mini

Hi TinyTemper,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're not able to add events to Calendar, try these troubleshooting steps first:
If you're using iOS 7, quit and restart the Calendar app:
Press the Home button twice to see preview screens of the apps you have open.
Find the Calendar preview screen and swipe it up and out of preview to quit the application.
Tap the Home button to return to your Home screen.
Wait a minute before reopening the Calendar app.
Restart your iOS device: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears, then drag the slider. After the device turns off, turn it back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Why does Calendar take up so much space and why can't I add events or sync?

Since I updated to ios7, my calendar hasn't worked at all. It used to sync with my Google calendar. Now I can't see any events in my calendar. The + sign to add an event is always greyed out so I can't add events. And something I've just noticed is that Calendar takes up 473 MB of space on my phone, making it one of the biggest users of space. (This might be related. If I search for an event in my calendar, it shows a long long long list of events that all say "New Event" that are scheduled to last all day. I can't delete these. It says they are assigned to "Untitled Calendar."
I've tried all sorts of combinations of turning on and off syncing calendars with Google and with iCloud. I can't detect any change. (My Mavericks calendar works just fine and syncs with Google.)

Hello chinchillababiz,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with iOS storage. It contains helpful advice and information that may assist you in managing your data:
See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
If your device is near its capacity or you get an alert that your storage is full, you can remove some of your less used content to make room for more.
View storage usage on your iOS device
Tap Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage to see the amount of space each app and its content takes on your device.
Tap an app for more detailed information about its usage.
Depending on the app, you might be able to delete some of the app's content, or delete the app and all of its content.
View storage usage for your iOS device in iTunes
When you connect your device and select it in iTunes, you'll see your usage by content type:

Books: iBooks books and PDF files
Documents & Data: App content such as contacts, calendars, messages, emails, and their attachments, Safari Offline Reading List, and files that you've created in your apps
Other: Settings, Siri voices, and other system data
Hover your mouse over the content type for more information about usage.
iTunes displays how much space the selected songs, videos, audiobooks, and apps use in the status bar on the bottom of the screen. You can also see this information by selecting an item and then choosing File > Get Info. The size is available in the Summary tab.
You can transfer or sync content to your computer from your device. If you want to remove certain types of content from your device, learn how to manually manage content using iTunes.

Bug on calendar Add Event

Hi.
Days ago I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 (9A405) and some times have trouble to add a new event on my calendar.
Press button "+", then type title and time of the event, when I hit "Done" just nothing happens. Event if I hit "Cancel" nothing happens and the App remains on the screen Add Event.
This has happend twice.
Thanks!,
JN

I don't have anything on that date, but just out of curiosity, is there anything scheduled for March 15th (or 14th) 2010? I ask because you have an event on March 9, 2009, which is the day after daylight savings time goes into effect.
Either way, you might want to submit feedback to Apple.

I have lost my calendar and now I cannot add events to it. I keep getting cannot save event no calendar has been set.

I have lost my calendar and now I cannot add events to it. I keep getting message "cannot save event no calendar has been set."

Maybe you need to Tap the Calendar Button in the upper left corner of the calendar app and select a calendar in which to add the event.
Do you have. + sign in the lower right corner of the App? If not go to Settings>iCloud>Calendar>On. If you want to sync the calendar with iCloud, leave it set to on. If not, then set it to Off.
Or try this of those suggestions don't work.
Close all app scompletely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

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.

Cannot add events to calendar on iPhone

After downloading iOS5 on my verizon iPhone4, I get the following error messages when trying to add events "no calendar has been set" (it has) or "that event does not belong to that event store" Help!

To delete tasks off the multitask bar, click the button on the bottom/front of the phone twice quickly. This will dislay just the multitask bar at the bottom of the screen (generally you see Music, Phone, Mail, and Safari here). Then click one of those tasks and you'll see all the items in your multi-task bar start to wiggle. You can scroll across from right to left to see all the apps you still have running, even if you aren't using them. click the X on each of these to close the apss -- this will not delete them from your OS. I did this and am now able to create Calendar events again!

My iPhone isnt letting me add events in calendar

My phone wont let me add events in my calendar

open the calendar app, tap on "calendar" in the middle of the screen at the bottom and make sure all the calendars are ticked

After ios5.0 update, my calendar's add event function is unavailable

After I downloaded the 5.0 update, the add event function in the phone's calendar is not there. Anyone else experiencing this? How do I fix this problem?

Just figured out how to solve this problem. You have to go to Settings, then tap on iCloud. Then find Calendars and click ON. That should make the "+" come back to screen. After I tried Calendars and seen it was back, I then went back to iCloud and turned off Calander again. It will ask you what you want to do with Calendar, so I just clicked on "keep on iPad'. That was just my opinion in turning of my Calendar on iCloud as I don't know much about it and don't want all my bussiness out there for who ever to see??? Not familar with it yet to have it on. Hope this helps!!

I can't add events to calendar on ios 7

I recently updated to iOS 7, and am unable to add events to my calendar. I looked up the directions, tap the plus sign, but it is grayed out and doesn't allow me to do so. Is anyone else having this issue or know of a fix? Thanks!

Create your event as you have been doing but do not exit the event screen. Scroll down the screen and reveal a number of additional options, including 1st and 2nd reminders and one called "calendar". Choose calendar and you will see 3 further choices: Home, Work and Calendar. Choose Home. Bingo... it will work.
What lamebrain thought these options were needed beats me...... its the classic case of tekkies with too much time on their hands dreaming up solutions to problems that don't exist. Sigh..!
For the record, the new format is irritating. I downloaded a Calendar app ( Calendars by Readdle from the App Store) which works much closer to the ios6 version and auto syncs with Apples version - after which I only use the downloaded one. Once again, you have to ask: "if it aint broke, why fix it?"

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!

After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group. When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category.

After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group. When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category. A message pops up that says: "You can't add events or to do items to a calendar group. Select an individual calendar in the calendar list, then create your events or to do items." Any help here would be greatly appreciated! I would like to either retrieve the old information or find a way to add the category back in to start over. Thanks in advance!
