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.

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!

  • 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.

  • Movie disappeared after crash, now can't create New Event

    Final stages of creating movie (of course!) and iMovie crashes. When restart, project is missing. Online, found suggestion to delete CurrentVersion.imovieevent and other CurrentVersion. files, which I did. I also moved the project files (inside Movies->iMovie Library (show package contents) to a safe distance. The online suggestion-- which had worked for me before-- recommended this, then: open iMovie, create New Project, quit. Move all the imovie project files into the new iMovie Library folder with the new project name, then re-open iMovie. Project should be there. And it was, last time. But for some reason, now iMovie won't let me create a New Event or a New Project, so this doesn't work.
    What is interesting is I completely removed all projects/events from the Movie folder to a different drive, but when I now open iMovie, all of my old movies/projects show up except the one I'm looking for. Where is it finding them? It should open up as new. How do I fix this?
    So far, have deleted and re-downloaded and re-installed iMovie 10.0.4 on MacBook Air running OS X 10.9.4 and removed all files from the Movie folder. Opening iMovie shows all my projects for the last several years. I have not deleted anything (only moved items), but the trash has all the CurrentVersion. files still in them. Interestingly, there are no "iMovie Projects" or "iMovie Events" folders anywhere-- all the folders/files seem to be stored in the iMovie Library; to access them I have to Show Package Contents

    Can you right-click on a folder name in the Lightroom Folder Panel and select "Show Parent Folder"?
    Can you import new photos directly to the desired folder in the desired location?

  • Can't create "new event" in icloud calendar

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Is there a way to create new events on the new iPhoto app?

    Is there a way to create new events on the new iPhoto app?  I seem to only be able to create albums.  I would really like the app to allow me to do all the same things that I was able to do on my Mac.  I would create events and then sync to all devices.  Can someone please instruct me on how to create new events from the photos imported from the photo stream.
    Thanks for all the help!

    The iPhoto for iOS seems to be aimed at working on photos then sharing them to social media sites or to iCloud for sharing there. iPhoto for iOS does not perform many of the organizing tasks that iPhoto on your Mac does. Many people expected that there would be more capabilities in iPhoto for iOS that would allow it to work more closely with iPhoto on your computer but this is not the case. They are separate apps.

  • 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?

  • Create new event

    Please - what is the difference between a Project - and event - and a movie? and why!!!
    After much heartache I managed to create a movie in iMovie10 - it used to be so easy before the updates were made everything easier!!Who are these peole who couldn't work iMovie before? Anyway. I then decided to create another movie.
    HELP says - " iMovie automatically places the new clips into a new event" - this does not happen. The new clips go into the movie I have already created. So ...  I created a new movie - picked a theme - named my movie - but there is nowhere to save it in the dropdown menu. Library is dimmed out and the only choice is the other movie I created.
    Can you believe it Mavericks is not a choice for operating system!!!

    I'm replying to myself!!
    Found "create new event" - but, why not just have create new event in the menu - not new movie as you have to create the event first??

  • Iphoto create new event then copy photos to the new event.

    I took some pictures this afternoon and imported them into iPhoto.
    I looked for a new evernt but there wasn't one, so I checked 'last import' and there they were, but for some reason they they were there along with pictures I took almost a year ago.  I checked the clock on my camera and the dates were correct and I can't find any reason that the new pictures were grouped with ones from a year ago.
    So, I marked the new pictures, clicked 'copy', went back to 'events' and selected "new eventy" and created a new event, called "New event 8-4-13'.
    Clicked on the new event... and there was no way to copy the pictures I'd selected with 'copy' in the preceeding sentence. 
    My question:   it seems to be possible to create a New Event under the Library/Events, is there any way to actually associate pictures with this new event?

    the easiest way to do a new event is to flag the photos and use the create new event form flagged photos command
    As to your issue in finding the event - I do not understand what you have - but the most common reason for this si an incorrect sort - check the event sort - view menu ==> sort events

  • 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?
