Can't create an event in iCal.

I just upgraded to 10.7.4 and noticed that my iCal isn't behaving correctly. When trying to add an event, on my MacBook Pro I get an error:
The server responded with “400” to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.
And when trying to create an event online via iCloud.com I get "server error"
The only place that I can create an event is on my iPhone 4S
Any ideas?

Did you get anywhere with this problem? I get the same error but can't find a solution.

Can,t create new events in ical on Mac book Pro.

This morning when I try to add a new event a pop up appears "This calendar was created by Mail. You can’t add events to a Mail calendar. Mail calendars only contain to do items created in Mail." Ical worked fine yesterday. I have a mobile me acc and can edit the online calendar but not the one on my laptop.
Thanks

Called Apple fast track support and problem is resolved. User error, for some reason I had selected the wrong calendar - after selecting the proper calendar on the left sidebar I could create events. Apparently at some time I created a 'todo' mailbox. It had nothing in it and I ended up deleting it so it doesn't get selected again in error.
Took 15 minutes to connect with an ICAL specialist. Once connected received excellent support.

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!
The only way I have to create an event is by using the "+" button, which is very limiting!
I am running the latest version of Mac OS X and all the updates.
Anyone know how I could get a proper use of my iCal ?
Thanks

Hi,
If you list the steps you have taken to fix this it will help.
Have you tried using the File > New Event menu item?
Have you logged the user account out/ restarted the computer?
Have you tried un-syncing any accounts synced to Calendar?
Is there some change made to the computer that may have triggered this?
Best wishes

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services. (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.) If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature. Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

How can i delete an event on ical without notifying

Hello
how can i delete an event on ical without notifying. All I want to do is delete the event and not notify anyone.
Thanks

I was just experiencing this problem on Mountain Lion. The calendar I wanted to delete was on iCloud. So, I logged into iCloud from a web browser, and selected Calendar. On the current incarnation of iCloud Calendar the calendars are listed on the left. I selected the "Edit" link at the top of that list and chose delete. It indicated that the items would be deleted, but there was nothing about notifications. Then, when I went back to iCal on my Mac, I selected the calendar to be deleted, right clicked, and slected refresh...
... gone.
It probably would have disappeared on it's own eventually. I'd be curious to see if theis works for others, so please confirm.
Good luck.

Can I create an event in Photos

I am using the Beta Photos. Can I create new events using Photos? If not, is there an equivalent? All the events I had in IPhoto are there but I have not been able to create a new event.

The Events in the Photos sidebar are just Albums created from those events when the conversion to Photos was made. You can create new albums by selecting the photos and using the File ➙ New Album menu option:
The new album will appear just above the Flagged smart album. It can be moved into the folder titled iPhoto Events if you want or wherever else under Album you'd like to have it.

I cant create new events in iCal on my Mac or display them

Since a few days ago after upgrading to Lion when I want to create a new event it
dosent show up in my calender. All the old events is shown and when I create an
event for example on my iPhone and sync with iCal on my Mac I can see the
new event.
I click in the calender to make a new event, nothing shows up, but when syncing
with my iPhone I can see the new event without any text because I didnt see the
small eventbar to type in or make the right time for the event. Can anybody help
me with this issue?
Regards,
Collins from Sweden!

Creating new event in iCal from BBEdit data window. Calendar number fails.

When I try to create a new event in iCal I am getting the error "The variable theCalendarNumber is not defined." even though theCalendarNumber is supposed to be set in the preceding line. Does this have anything to do with embedding the tell application "iCal" within the tell application "BBEdit 6.5" loop?
Before this error I was getting a NSContainerSpecifierError error. I think that was because I was trying to specify the calendar as a string instead of a number as required by Panther OS.

You have a couple of issues here.
First, the line:
set theCalendarNumber to (first calendar whose title is theChoice)
However, theChoice is defined at:
set theChoice to (choose from list iCalendars with prompt "Choose the Calendar to use" OK button name "Choose" without multiple selections allowed and empty selection allowed)
Since you're allowing multiple selections, theChoice will be a list.
You can't get 'first calendar whose title is' a list. You will need to either permit single selections only, or extract the calendar name from the selected items (maybe iterating through them if you want to add the event to multiple calendars).
Once you address that, the line:
set theEvent to make new event at end of events of theCalendarNumber...
also won't work because theCalendarNumber will be the name of a calendar, so this command tries to set the event to the end of events of a string. Instead you need to ask for the named calendar, like:
set theEvent to make new event at end of events of calendar theCalendarNumber
Then you should be set.

Unable to create new events in iCal

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS7, and now when I try to create a new event in iCal, nothing happens. I am able to tap the "+" and enter the event information, but when I tap "Done", no new event appears in the calendar.
If I, instead, create the event in the Calendar on my PC, the phone syncs with Outlook, and the event appears on the phone's iCal app.
Why am I suddenly unable to create new events on my phone in iOS7, and how can I fix this issue?

Thanks! I've noticed the phone has been a bit "clunky" since the update too. Did you experience the same thing & did the hard restart help?

Can you create 1 event in two different calendars?

Hi All,
I want to create an event and have it go to two different calendars all in iCal. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for your help.

In SL you can select the event, go to edit > copy then click on another calendar date and do an edit >paste and click on a third calendar and paste it again if you wish.

I can't create an event

When I'm in the month of October, I can't create any new events, and when I print the calendar, the days come out wrong starting on the 15th.
How can I solve this?

Marcel,
Try this: quit iCal, go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/reset the appropriate "Region." Then log out/in or restart.

Can't create new events or todos

I am a frequent iCal / Mac user and have been using my Mac for the last year with no problem.
Yesterday, I was no longer able to create new events or todos, in any calendar. When I click new event or new todo, there is no response (no window pops up, just ignores). When I drag an area in a day to create a new event, it shows the dragged time, then doesn't create the todo
If I create an event or todo on my iPhone, it stays on my iPhone, but does not show up when syncing.
Note all old events are still present. I can move an existing event to the future, so this shows edits are still possible.
Can this be a recent bug from an pushed updated? Has anyone else seen this?
I have rebooted and ensured all SW is up to date.
Greg

I am having the same trouble and just realized it yesterday. Can you provide the detailed steps you followed that I could try?
I sync my calendar to MobileMe and my phone and those are both fine - and I've added new things to them since iCal stopped working apparently (guessing it was about a week ago based on things missing from iCal). I'm confused by your comment about backing up iCal - won't that simply end up restoring the same inaccurate data? Or maybe in my case it doesn't matter because the next time I sync it will update with the data I have on my phone and MobileMe (so maybe a dumb question). I already use Time Capsule so I'm guessing I can just use my most recent Time Capsule/iCal file backup to do my restore?
I know very little about Terminal - not even enough to be dangerous! Are you saying in terminal you typed in that exact string you're showing below?
Thanks!

How Can I Create an Event Link to a Page Tab?

I have a portlet in one tab that generates an event. I want to be able to send this event to the same page but to another tab where another portlet resides. Here's the code snippet that creates the link. This code is part of a custom JSP tag.
// Attempt to get access to the portlet render request to determine if we are within a portal context.
PortletRenderRequest prr = (PortletRenderRequest) pageContext.getRequest().getAttribute(
    HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
if (null != prr)
    try
        // Set up the parameters used for the link.
        NameValue[] eventParameters =
            new NameValue("linkUrl", linkUrlParamValue)
        // Construct the link parameter we will be using.
        linkUrl = EventUtils.constructEventLink(prr, "linkClicked", eventParameters, true, true);
    catch (PortletException e)
        // Error processing removed...
}This code will generate the event correctly and all processing occurs as expected. However, I cannot find a way to force the second tab to display.
I am able to force the the second tab to be displayed if I use "Direct Access URLs". These links are in the form
[protocol]://[host]:[port]/pls/portal/url/page/[page_group_root_page_name]/[tab_name]
But is there a way to create an event link using a specific URL?

Hi,
One workaround that i can think of is:
1. Set the <passAllUrlParams>true</passAllUrlParams> attribute in your provider.xml of the portlet on the target page/tab.(dont forget to refresh the provider)
2. If you already have the url to the tab, then you just simply construct the form in your previous portlet to post to that url with all the necessary form fields.
3. Process the request parameters and render the second portlet.
hope that helps.
thanks,
Harsha

Can't see my events in iCal

Hi all,
maybe someone can help me with the following scenario.
I synchronize my Sony Ericsson cellphone via iSync to iCal. Afer installing new software on my cellphone, all data got lost (of course). As I wanted to synchronize my data to the cellphone again, I realised, that only birthday events are displayed in my iCal. I can't find my events, even I do a search. The weird thing ist, that iSync can synchronize my events, although the events are not in iCal??? Can anybody explain this to me? Where are my events?
Is it possible, that there is a relation to migration to leopard? Well, this happened shortly afert leopard was released, but maybe I didn't realise it, because I use iCal only for backup my cellphone data. And I can see events from 2007, for example.
The other thing is, that events sometimes get lost. But one step after another ...
Hope you understand my problem.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Bernard,
thanks for your answer. I've tried it once again, because I had to set up my cellphone once again. At this time, the cellphone calendar and ical were empty. I did a synchronisation via isync. My events are in my cellphone calendar now!!!?
Before I did the synchronisation, I added a few events to my ical. These were not synchrinized!!! These events are in ical now, but not in my cellphone. It's weird.
Is there a possibility of a second ical-library or such?
