Can't create new calendar events through Thunderbird

Hi,
I have Lightning installed and hooked up to two Google Calendars, one for actual events (both work and personal) and one for things like local holidays and week numbers (this is a read-only calendar Google's put together).
My issue is that I can't create a new event on my personal calendar through Thunderbird. I can open the "create new event" dialog box no problem, and fill in all the details, but when I hit "Save and Close" nothing happens - the dialog box stays open, and no event is created.
I can create events in a 'local' calendar (e.g. the blank "Home" calendar that Lightning comes with as a default). I can log into my Google calendar through my browser and create events no problem, but then hitting the "synchronise" button in Thunderbird doesn't make them show up (although syncing the calendar app on my android phone, linked to the same Google Calendar, makes the new events created through the browser show up no problem).
The only other information I can offer is that on the Calendar tab in Thunderbird, on the left of the screen, there's list of the calendars my Thunderbird/Lightning has installed/synchronised: "Home" (a local calendar, basically empty but functioning), "Luke John's Calendar" (Google Calendar, the one I'm having the problem with), and "Week Numbers" (Read-only Google Calendar, I don't know if it's possible to create new events on because it's read only). Next to both "Luke John's Calendar" and "Week Numbers" are little (error?) symbols: black exclamation marks in yellow triangles, which give the rollover text "The Calendar [name] is momentarily not available."
Any suggestions for sorting this out? I'd be very grateful!

Hi Benito,
What does it mean when a subscribed calendar is corrupted?
The files iCal uses to store the calendars (.ics files) are text files. (You can look at one by exporting a calendar from iCal and opening the .ics file with a text editor.) When you subscribe to a calendar you are copying the calendar file to your hard drive. If some information is missing in the file, or the data is ordered in the wrong way, this can lead to iCal not functioning properly.
The error could be on the server or your local copy, from what you write it's hard to tell. You could try subscribing to the problem calendar from another machine to see if it has the same problem.
The usual recommendation for a local calendar (one you created) with this problem is to export and then import the calendar. This means the calendar is re-created from scratch. You can't use this solution with a calendar you are subscribed.
I hope this helps.

When i try with poster or postman, I get this error

its not working . Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Sahil,
I was able to make your request work fine against my Office 365 mailbox with 2 changes.
1. Can you please make sure you are adding header "Content-Type: Application/Json"?
2. Can you please make sure your end time is AFTER start time? Looks like there is a typo with your current request as the start time is on 2015-01-06 and end time is on 2015-01-05.
Hope that helps ...
Thanks,

Can't Subscribe Can't Create New Calendar

All,
After using iCal with much success (and subscribing to calendars shared in www.icalx.com) suddenly I can't subscribe to any calendar (even those not from icalx) and I can't make a new calendar (even though I only have twelve). Even if I drag an ics file into iCal, it won't make a new calendar!
There's nothing wrong with the calendars from other places, as I tried subscribing to them from another machine.
Whenever I try subscribing or creating a new calendar, nothing happens. Even the progress bar for subscribing doesn't move! When I quit iCal and then restart it, there's a ghost calendar there either called "untitled" if I had previously tried creating a new calendar, or the name of the calendar I tried to drag in (although there is no data), or "Subscribed" but no data if I had previously tried to subscribe to a calendar.
Somebody please help me. I'm working with other people from other time zones and we rely on these things to work.
Thanks!!

Mac Mail... Can you create an iCal event through Mac Mail?

I use Outlook constantly on my company PC and there is a WONDERFUL feature that I never recall seeing in the 8+ years I've owned a MacBook Pro... but maybe I'm simply not finding it...
With Outlook, I can reply to an email and create a meeting (or event) immediately. I cannot do that in Mail. Is there a feature / way to accomplish this?

If she hasn't been backing up with Time Machine (or a full backup which hasn't been overwritten) they are gone. Recreating the account won't being them back.
If she has Time Machine, open (user)/Library/Mail in the Finder and then enter Time Machine. Navigate backwards looking for a folder named POP- and the name of the account. Use TM to restore that.

I've lost my iCal calendars and can't create new ones

I've used iCal flawlessly for a long time. Suddenly, though, I noticed that I lost all my indivdual calendars in iCal. I couldn't see any calendar postings in the main calendar until I trashed my pref file from the library and relaunched. Then I would see the individual events created under my "home" calendar, yet I would not see the "home" calendar listed as an option in the left-hand view of calendars. Plus, I now can't create new calendars.
Anybody have any idea what's going on here?

Is this correct: you had multiple calendars; they disappeared from the calendar pane and their events from the main pane; you deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ical.plist; you now have a single calendar (Home) but cannot make more; you can see the events in Home?
Can you add events to Home?
Can you see as many folders in ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/ as you used to have calendars?
Double-click ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/nodes.plist. Click the black triangle beside the word Root. In the line "List Array ..." how many ordered objects are reported? Does this match your original calendar count?
What have you added/changed/modified recently? Might it have involved any fonts?

In mail "create new ical event" has stopped appearing in ical

Please help! I love clicking on data in email to bring up the "Create New iCal Event" box, and using it to put new events into my ical calendar. But recently when I "Create New iCal Event" from an email, and click "add to iCal" the window closes but the event doesn't show up in iCal. I can still add events by clicking on a calendar date in iCal and typing them in, but the link between Mail and iCal seems to be broken. How can I fix it?
Could this be related to how Firefox recently broke? Foxfire will not save bookmarks any more, either, I click on "Bookmarks," then "Bookmark this page". The window closes but the bookmark does not save. Also, the forward/backward browser arrows no longer work on Foxfire.

Could you be more specific? What happens (or fails to happen?)

Creating a calendar event

I'm trying to create a calendar event or appointment. The first thing to try is using Siri. I tell it to create an appointment on such and such a date and it says "okay, Here's your event. Would you like me to create it?" When I say yes, The response "sorry, I can't do that." Ha ha, very funny, Siri. So then I decided to do it manually,by opening the calendar program and Tapping on the day and time I want to create the event, but nothing comes up. As a last resort, I open the iPad user guide for iOS 7, and while it has entries for such things as searching for events, changing your views, and setting up invitations via a Microsoft exchange account, there is no entry on how to create an event! How do I do this?

You should be able to create a event two ways.
1 Tap the plus sign in the upper right corner, then make you event.
2 Hold you finger on the calendar day until "new event" and the window appears as in the screenshot below.

How can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

how can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

To set up CalDAV support for Google Calendar in Apple's iCal, follow these steps:
Open Apple iCal, go to Preferences and then the Accounts tab.
Click on the + button to add an account.
In the box that pops up, enter a description for the account and your Google Account username and password.
Under Server Options, add the following URL:
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user//www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user
Replace '[email protected]' with the email address that you use to log in to Calendar. Make sure to include the '@domain.com' portion (which is @gmail.com for Gmail users) in this section.
DO NOT substitute your username for 'user' at the end of the URL.
Leave the Use Kerberos v5 for authentication option unchecked.
Click Add.
Under the Delegation tab, select the calendars you'd like to add to iCal by checking the boxes next to them. You may need to hit refresh to get the latest list of calendars.
Add your email address to your Address Book card by selecting Add Email. You'll be prompted to add your email address only if your address is not already in your Address Book.
You won't be able to invite or email guests to Google Calendar events within iCal if your address is not in your Address Book.
Your Google Calendar will now appear in iCal's list of calendars, and changes you make to your Google Calendar in iCal will be reflected when you sign in to Google Calendar.
Event information will automatically refresh every five minutes. You can change this interval by opening the iCal > Preferences > Accounts menu and selecting a new refresh interval under the 'Refresh calendars' drop-down. Keep in mind you can also force a refresh by selecting a calendar and pressing the Apple and R keys at the same time.
Calendars that are checked but disabled have already been added to iCal - you can remove them from within iCal.

Can't create new / forward / reply email on 6700 s...

I have google sync set on MFE account. It syncs well with the excising mail, calendar, contacts. But for some odd reason I can't create new mail message.
"Toimintoa ei voitu suorittaa loppuun" ( veeery vague, "Can't complete action!" I guess) says the modal dialog overlay over the recipient / subject fields. Pushing anything cancels the new message.
I have been hunting different setting for email, mfe, messages for a while but have not come up with anything that would have helped with the issue?

This solved it. Don't know why. Shouldn't be like this. When I searched for it, the file appeared. Not only it it appear but my three other attempts appeared as well. All four of them are in Contacts. That's a bit wacked I think.
Thanks very much.
Wait it gets better. I went back to the email. Clicked the email address to save it. Selected Add to existing contact. Found the contact. Added it. Click Done, and the name is gone again from the Conatcts directory. Used the search function again, and it reappeared.
But there's more. Left the phone app. Came back to it and the name is gone again. Apparently every time I want this name I have to add it by searching in Spotlight, and of course it's not updating iCloud so it's never going to get back to my computer.

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
The calendar however, is not easy to use.
The typing function on the phone has become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

Can we create new partner types for quallity notifications in SAP system?

Can we create new partner types for quallity notifications in SAP system?
The business requirement is to limit the available entries for partners displayed when they search in quality notification. I have already created new partner functions & assigned the relevant partner types, however struggling with defining new partner types.
Would appreciate help in resolving this.
Thanks,
Nilesh

I know this customisation setting ...It allows us to create the partner functions & assign it to the partner determination procedure.
Then you can assign the procedure to the notification type.
This customisation setting does not solve the problem I have.
I'm looking for the partner type creation process which we assign to the partner function.
