Can the Calendar app be/get smarter?

The adding of an event within a Blackberry couldn't be simpler and the opposite is to be said about the iPhones Calendar ... unless I'm missing something.
I would like to add an event or reminder by touching a time in the "day view" and just start typing.
Within my calendar settings/preferences I would put parameters that I would want for the vast majority of my reminders/entries/events ... such as length of the event, alarm, repeat, etc... For the few occasions that I would need to change these parameters I would go into the actual event and change the length of the meeting, or alarm parameters, etc...
Also ... When I am notified of the event/reminder I would like two options to come up ... "ignore" or "Edit". Kind of like a text does with "view" and "close". So then if I have not completed the "reminder", say "take out the trash" ... then I can push "edit" and push it back a few hours or if I already took out the trash I could push "ignore". Seems easy enough?
Is this possible? Is there an app that does this? Why hasn't Apple implemented this easy and efficient method? They got everything else right except this feature ... in my opinion ...
Ideas?

Bump?

  • When opening the Calendar app, I am greeted with a box that says "This calendar can not be refreshed."  After clicking on "OK" another box pops up saying "The server responded with an error."  How can I get rid of these?

    When opening the Calendar app, I am greeted with a box that says "This calendar can not be refreshed," and after clicking ok there is another box saying "The server responded with an error."  How do I get rid of this.  The calendar functions all right, but just have to close both of those boxes after doing any action in the calendar app.

    Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Back up all databefore making any changes.
    Step 1
    From the Calendar menu bar, select
    Calendar ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
    Choose the affected account from the list on the left and uncheck the box marked
    Enable this account
    Then check the box again. Test.
    Step 2
    Make a note of the account settings, then delete the account and add it back with the same settings.
    Step 3
    If you can't add the account, the settings may be invalid. Verify them. How you do that depends on what kind of account it is. If it's a Google calendar and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.
    Step 4
    Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:  
    ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache  
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
    Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I cant get the calendar app to sync any calendars.

    I just got my Droid 2 and I am trying to set up my calendars like I had in my old phone but I cant get the calendar app to sync to my only gmail account's calendars.  When I try to sync it just brings me to a page that says I can sync contacts and mail but not calendars.  Can someone tell me what Im doing wrong?

    Just checking:
    When you go to: calendar > menu > more > calendars there are no calendars listed that are "synced, visible" ?
    And My Accounts > gmail "account" > Sync Calendar does not exist?
    Are you logged into your gmail account? And can receive email?

  • When i try to open the iPhoto app, i getting a message "you can't open the application because it is not supported on this type of mac"

    when i try to open the iPhoto app, i getting a message "you can't open the application because it is not supported on this type of mac"

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • The Calendar icon has disappeared from my dock and I can't find a way to restore it or to download the Calendar app. Help please.

    The Calendar icon has disappeared from my dock and I can't find a way to restore it or to download the Calendar app. The iCal app is not in my applications folder. Help please.

    Do you have Time Machine enabled.   If so, go back through your previous months until it features in your Application folder.   Then restore.

    Hi. Since I installed the Maverick I can't open anymore the Calendar App as also the App Store. Anyone can help me with that?
    Thank you in advance

    I have this same problem on my iMac since installing Mavericks. The emails download, I can see who they are from and when they came, but nothing shows up in the message pane. I can see emails I got before I installed Mavericks, although about half of them did disappear. Sure would like to find a fix--perhaps the 10.9.1 update will do it?

  • I copied a calendar item from Outlook to the Calendar app.  I can't delete it and the reminder for the meeting repeats itself every few seconds.

    I copied a calendar item from Outlook to the Calendar app.  I can't delete it and the reminder repeats itself every few seconds.  How can I stop the reminder?  How can I delete the calendar item?

    Can you access in on icloud.com and delete the event?  If not, and force-quitting didn't help, try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Calendars, choose Delete from Mac when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then restart your Mac and go back and check Calendars again.

  • Can the ipad reminders app import tasks from the calendar app so I can enter items once?

    Can the ipad reminders app import tasks from the calendar app so I can enter items once?

    Depends on an account. The Tasks in Exchange will populate Reminders, and you can use Reminders in iCloud, but natively entering something in Calendar does not reflect in Reminders.

  • TS4000 I have a dialog box in Mac OS calendar that says "moving calendars to server account. It has totally locked up the Calendar app. I have forced quit, restarted the Mac as well as Calendar but I can't use Calendar at all. How can I restore Calendar?

    I have a dialog box in Mac OS calendar that says "moving calendars to server account. It has totally locked up the Calendar app. I have forced quit, restarted the Mac as well as Calendar but I can't use Calendar at all. How can I restore Calendar?

    No one have any idea as to what's going on with my issue?
    A lot of people do, if you take a look at the More Like This widget on the right side of this page.
    Try signing out and back in to iCloud in System Preferences.

  • I can't update individual events in the Calendar app.

    I'm trying to update an event in the list of events on the left side of the Calendar app display in my Ipad2 ios 5 device.  When I tap on the event nothing happens.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi there RonBeaucahmp,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • The + in the calendar app is greyed out and I can't schedule an event

    The + in the calendar app is greyed out and it won't let me schedule an event. I have checked that my mail calenders are turned on as well as the iCloud calendar. Please help.

    This is what I did to solve it: go to settings>iCloud> turn calendar off! and then on again, and voila!

  • Is there a way to change the font size and color of text in the calendar app?

    Does anyone know a way of changing the font size and color of text in the calendar app that comes with the iPad 2?  It is very hard to see the small gray numbers on the calendar.  Thanks

    Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem.  Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work.  You can turn on "Zoom".

  • The Calendar app won't show March 2013 in 'Month' view. Kicks me out. What do I do?

    Every time I try to look at March in 'month' view of the Calendar App, it throws me out. Can view March appointments in list view, day, week and year view, but not month view. Any ideas? month view is my favourite and its getting annoying!

    debrak1,
    Hopefully, Why does the month March 2013 not show...: Apple Support Communities, and Why can I NOT select March 2013 Month...: Apple Support Communities will provide you with a solution for that problem.

  • Since Apple already has a SMS/MMS app for the iPhone, which can be used over WiFi, can the same app be installed on the iPad 2?

    I have an iPhone 3GS, and realized I do most of my SMS/MMS messaging at home, when connected to my WiFi. Then I began to think, if I'm using the messaging app over WiFi, can the SAME app (which, personally I like much better than the third party apps) be installed on the iPad 2 (which I'm still waiting from back order)?

    Incorrect.
    SMS/MMS is exchanged over the same network as calls.
    "Dumb" phones or phones not in the smart category that don't have internet access in any shape, form, or fashion can exchange SMS/MMS.
    Since SMS/MMS (a poor man's email with cell phones since it is very limited) is a cash cow for carriers and very profitable, why wouldn't cell phone carriers be interested in including SMS/MMS as an additional option (and of course at an additional expense) with a data plan only for the iPad? They certainly are interested in it but they can't since SMS/MMS is exchanged over the same network as calls.

    Take your whining someplace else. The self-entitlement displayed here by some is laughable.
