Can't edit calendar event

I am unable to edit start and end times for new events I've created in Calendar. The new events come in starting at NOON and ending at 1PM. No amount of tapping will alter them.
I've restarted to no avail.
Anyone else have this issue?

OK. Problem solved. A case of "intuitive" interface meets non-intuitive user.

  • Can't edit calendar events...

    OK, I've searched the community high and low and haven't been able to find a solution. I have iCal 4.0.4 on my iMac running 10.6.8 and and have a 2G iPod touch running 4.2.1. I mention the iCal version because I think the problem all started with the latest iCal update. I used to be able to go into my touch and edit the calendars as much as I wanted to. Then all of a sudden all the events in iCal on my Home calendar and also on my touch became uneditable on the touch i.e. if I click on an event in my Home calendar on the touch I don't have an edit button. The only way I can change anything on the calendar on the touch is to go into iCal and change it there then sync through iTunes. If I click the plus emblem while in calendars on the touch the only kind of event I can add goes into a calendar called [imap_MobileMe]:Mail To Do rather than my normal Home calendar on my iMac. And I have Synchronize iCal with other computers and devices using MobileMe selected in preferences.
    There must be an easy way to fix this that I'm overlooking. Thanks for any and all help in this matter!

  • After iOS5 upgrade, iPod touch 2nd gen won't let me edit calendar events

    I have an iPod touch 2nd gen with the old processor, so I'm stuck using iOS 4.2.1 on the touch.
    Meanwhile, I have a MacBook and new iPad running Lion/iOS 5.
    Before I upgraded to iOS 5, I could edit calendar events from either my macbook or from my Touch.  Now, I can't edit calendar events on the Touch, and when I add new ones from the Touch, the options are restricted (e.g., I can't designate which calendar the item belongs to).
    Please help!  This functionality is very important to me because I take the Touch to work, but not my other mac devices, so I need to be able to edit on the go.
    Thanks,
    Carl

  • Can't edit an event in my Calendar.

    Yesterday I noticed that I can't edit an event in my Calendar. Also when I type a new event it drops some of the type off when I hit return. And it's not necessarily dropping off the end of the sentence! I'm using OSX10.8.5. The only thing that's different is last week I loaded Adobe CC. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. I've turned off Calendar in iCloud and turned it back on and that didn't fix anything. Any suggestions?

    FOUND IT!!!
    Found a previous post on here about it. I removed Lucida Grande and it's fixed!
    "It appears the problem font for me was Lucida Grande. Resolving Duplicates didn't work properly, so I had to pull the old version manually."

  • Google Calendar: can't edit an event 1) when double clicking an event it doesn't open to edit 2) when clicking on a time slot to edit doesn't do anything & more

    I cannot edit calendar events in google calendar. Also when clicking on a time slot to create an event the click gets stuck and it's scrolling to select time slot and the only way to get it unstuck is to reload the page. Other browsers work just fine.

  • Can i set calendar events to four weekly?

    Can I set calendar events to four weekly rather than monthly or fortnightly?

    in iCal double click the new entry after you make it, and it will pop up a new window where you can edit furhter settings like the alert and repeat settings.
    just choose 'repeat' and then custom, you can then choose any configuration of days ,  weeks etc, and on what day if you choose weekely, for example 'every 3 weeks on a wednesday'

  • Can not edit Calendar Items on iPhone 4 that were sent from Outlook 2013

    Hi Folks,
    When receiving a calendar item from Outlook 2013, I can accept it, but not edit it. When I receive the same item from Outlook 2003, I can accept AND edit.
    How can I edit calendar items sent from Outlook 2013?
    We are not using an Exchange server, simply sending the calendar items via email. We noticed this when we upgraded our office from MS Office 2003 to 2013.
    Thank you so much for your help!
    Ben Bolduc

    Are you sure the Outlook 2013 calendar entries are set set to shared?
    The following thread seems to document and discuss the topic well:

  • Cannot edit calendar events on iphone

    Cannot edit calendar events on iphone with most of the calendars, one personal calendar has the Edit button available but only on a few events--not all. We hosting the calendars through an ical server, running OSX 10.5.8.
    The software is up to date on the computer and on the iphone. Any ideas how to get the edit feature to appear?

    The edit feature was working correctly with the calendars and stopped. Performed a sync through iTunes removing syncing preferences first. Did not resolve the issue. I am considering restoring the iphone.

  • Can't open calendar events to edit

    Can't edit events in ICal.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help: As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Can't edit iCal events like before installing Snow Leopard.

    When creating a New Event or trying to Edit an existing Event the title field isn't editable like before I installed Snow Leopard. If I try to click on the header field to edit it, the whole event box turns into a window with red & green buttons at the top and I STILL can't edit the title area! This doesn't make sense! Did something go wrong installing Snow Leopard? I've reinstalled it twice and still the same behavior. This can't be the way things are supposed to work editing events in iCal. I can edit the location and all the other fields in the event panel, but NOT the title. The only way I can try to edit the event title is by hitting the enter key and try to add characters before it switches to an un-editable field again.

    Perhaps you've just updated your OS and now have the newer version of iCal which is ***** compared to the faster, more elegant older version. The older iCal presented every event's details in a ready to edit format just by clicking on the item in the calendar.
    Now you have to double click that item you're interested in (one two) to get a window that shows you the item's details. Then, to edit, you must click the 'edit' button (three) upon which another editable window will allow your event details to be edited. Finally, after finishing your edits, you must click 'done' (four). Yes, that's right, 4 clicks to do what used to require only the initial click to specify which event you wanted to edit.
    Four times as many clicks for a utility application that has no further improvements, only this annoying change from what was once a very efficient tool.
    I do hope a future "update" will bring back the elegance of the older version with some true improvements.

  • How to edit Calendar events?

    If i am invited to an event i get an email with the .ics attachment. I add it to my calender and then accept the invite.
    If the times are then changed i get another email with the new times on the email and a new .ics attachment.
    The new .ics attachment on the email update still has the old times on it (and if the times were new i still cannot do anything with the attachment - there are no options to put it in my calendar).
    I cannot edit the original calendar event to the new times.
    I cannot delete the old event without declining it first.
    Even if i could delete the old event with the old times i then have to make my own calendar event  (which then doesn't link in with the organisers event and doesn't show my attendance).
    Why does my calender event not update automatically once the revised times have been emailed to me?
    I have "shared calendar alerts" enabled but all it does is send me an email about modifications, i cannot edit the actual event anywhere.
    Am i doing something wrong? have i missed something?
    Thanks

    You don't say what it is you want to change, but if you simply want to consolidate:
    Select a calendar in the list, choose file>export.
    Select file>import, choose the file, and select the destination calendar. (The destination calendar can be one which you sync with Google Calendar.)
    When you're happy all is where you want it, delete the original calendars.
    As always, take a backup before you start - just in case!

  • Can't edit past events

    i have a client who showed me this strange problem today.
    she can view or delete past events for which she's listed as the organizer but can't edit them. i don't see any clear errors or notifications on the server to point me in any particular direction.
    for individual events added to her calendar with no attendees, she can edit the past events, just not if attendees are listed.
    any ideas? server's a g5 xserve running 10.5.5 for now. clients are 10.5.4-10.5.6. the client in question is on 10.5.6.
    i also still have an issue at the same client, outlined here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964543

  • After restoring my backup to a replacement iPhone, I cannot edit calendar events. Am using iOS5

    My iPhone4 died and I had to replace it.  Apple told me first to download iOS5 to the new phone then to do a restore.  Everything got restored, but I cannot no longer edit any of the events in my calendar regardless of where I created I them.  I can still edit them on the MacBook Pro, to which I back up events.  I appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.
    Thanks in advance.

    Try Settings>iCloud>Calendars>On.

  • Palm Desktop 6.2 automatically shuts down when trying to create/edit calendar events

    Hi,
    I have a Palm Pre and PD 6.2 installed on my computer. Right now I have Win 7 on 32 bits installed but I have encountered this issue also on Win XP 32 bits SP3, Win7 64 bits, on my machine and also on other machines.
    PD shuts down automatically when I do any of the following actions:
    -Calendar - Right Click - New Event - PD Shuts Down 
    -Calendar - Left Click to create event - Type some text in - Then click outside the event slot - Then right click on the event - Click on Edit or Repeat - PD Shuts Down 
    -Calendar - Import an existing event - Then right click on the event - Click on Edit or Repeat - PD Shuts Down 
    My PD6.2 is clean. I have re-installed my OS on my machine for many times. Just right after the install when I go to Calendar and I try to create/edit and event it shuts down. I have tried on some other machines. I have tried also on WinXP - same results.
    I have trying to remove the datebook.mdb file out of Documents\PalmOSDesktop\Devicename\Datebook, but still with no luck.
    The only thing that comes to my mind is that the installation might be corrupt, but I'm not doing anything abnormal, I install PD following the recommended settings. I have downloaded PD 6.2 from Palm's web site also. I just don't know what to do.
    I hope that someone has an answer to this.
    Thank You

    You are correct this is a result of a corrupt install. Is there anything that could be connecting the installs of Palm Desktop? Like the same CD being used, same download file, or the same data?
    Here is the instructions for a clean uninstall:
    You should first make a copy of your data. If you have Palm Desktop 4.2 and lower you can copy your user folder by going to C:\Program files\Palm or PalmOne. Once in here look for your username and right click on it and copy it. Then open up My Documents and Pasting it in here. If you have Palm Desktop 6.2.2 go to My Documents/Documents --> Palm OS Desktop. Copy the folder(s) in here and Paste them in My Documents/Documents
    Now you will need to uninstall Palm Desktop. First go to Control Panel and in XP go to Add and Remove documents, in Vista Programs and Features. Then look for Palm Desktop and uninstall it. Then go to C:\Program files\Palm or C:\Program files\PalmOne and delete this folder. If you have Vista you will need to go to here:
    C:\Program files\Palm
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or PalmOne
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\Palm or PalmOne
    *Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go into your Control Panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck hide hidden files.
    One this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your registry.
    Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel you are unsure of your self see if you have a friend that can help you or a PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything they need to delete. To help against this we need to do a backup.
    Go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
    Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
    Easiest way to make sure your doing the right one highlight the key i.e. Palm Quick Install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
    If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician. BUT do not turn off your computer.
    The Registry keys are as follows (Note: some of these Registry keys will not be here but if they are, delete them)
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmOne
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource
    Next reboot your computer
    Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you did not sync before create a hotsync name.
