Can you add a past event Into iCal?  I want to do this for record keeping.

I want to add past events to my icalendar for record keeping. When I try it disappears right after I add.  Can I do this?

You don't mention your OS or iCal versions but, based on my own OSX.6.8 and iCal v4.0.4 (1395.7) then go to ...
iCal > Preferences > Advanced
... and look at the Option for Delete events n days after they have passed and ensure that either the option is not checked (which should keep past events for ever) or set to the number of days after which you are happy that past events get deleted.
Other parameters can also be set for the treatment of To Do items within that same preference panel.
I guess, although I do not know, that other versions of iCal and Calendar have similar options somewhere within user customisation.

  • Can't add a new event to iCal on my iMac - but the event sync's to my iPad - is this a Lion problem? iCloud is on.

    Can't add a NEW EVENT to my iCal on my iMac- however the event is sync'd to my iPad with no problem. iCloud is turned on for iCal. Is this a Lion problem or something turned pff. I cannot find an answer. Help?

    William,
    It is a possibility that you are adding new events to your "On My Mac" calendars.
    "On My Mac" calendars will not sync with iCloud. After backing up the "On My Mac" calendars, and ensuring that all events are duplicated on your iCloud calendars you can delete any "On My Mac" calendars.

  • Can't add all-day events in iCal w/Lion

    After Lion 10.7.1 upgrade, I can add an all-day event in iCal on my MacBook but not on my MacBook Air.  On the Air an event added with no time just does not appear.  On the Air an event added with a time appears, but editing the event and checking the "all-day" box causes the event to disappear.

    >>Who'd have thought this was optional?
    Again... S. Jobs apparently thinks its optional. 
         Devolution...like many things in Lion.

  • Can You Add Places To Events?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if it's possible to a certain place to an event or group of photo's in iPhoto 11? I can't seem to find the option at all? I don't particularly want to go through all my photo's one by one adding a place as my photo's are set into groups of where i've been.
    Any help would appreciated
    Stuart

    select an event - click on the info button if the info window is not open - click on "assign a place" at the bottom of the infor window and type the place info - select form the list to get close and then move the pin to the exact location you want for all photos in the event

  • Can you add a calendar event by clicking on a date? (ipad iOS7)

    I just updated to iOS7 on my ipad and am trying to use the calendar.
    I find it surprising that I cannot touch a date to add an event. Is this how it always worked?

    In week or month view, you have to tap and hold down on the date until you see New Event appear. You have to select the month before you can add an event - as gas as I can see anyway. In other words, you cannot tap and hold down on a date in year view and go directly to that day.

  • InDesign CS6 - Can you add Google Walking Tour into a PDF document or interactive pdf?

    Hello,
    I am trying to figure out how to add a Google Walking tour into my pdf document. I tried using the HTML feature in InDesign CS6 but all i get is a static image of a map. Acording to the features of InDesign this should be working correct? Please let me know if this is possible or not. Thank you!
    this is an example of the kind of a tour i am talking about:

    I've copied the HTML that Google provides for embeding but no success yet. Thanks!

    That will work in DPS, but not, AFAIK, in PDF.

  • How do you add a combo box into a Jfilechooser?

    how do you add a combo box into a Jfilechooser?
    thanks

    See the API For JFileChooser
    public void setAccessory(JComponent newAccessory)Extend a JPanel or Such like, put your Combo Box on it, fiddle around with event handling code for the ComboBox..
    Set an Instance of that as The Accessory for the JFileChooser.
    Look In Your Docs:-
    <JAVA_HOME>/Demo/jfc/SwingSet2/src , unpack SwingSet2.jar if neccessary
    In there is a demo of using A JFileChooser with an accessory Panel, and Source code that is adaptable...

  • When I try to add a new event to iCal a dialog says "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". How do I cancel this?

    When I try to add a New Event to iCal a dialog box keeps saying "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". iCal is, however, receiving up-dates from my other devoces via iCloud. Can anyone help unblock this for me please?

    You can not add events to the birthday's calendar. To add birthday's to the birthday calendar you need to add the birthday to a contact in the Contacts app.
    You can set your default calendar here:
    iCal > Preferences > General  > Default Calendar and chose the calendar you want to default to.

  • ICal Lion is infuriating. How can I add a new event in a chosen calendar without having to create it in my default then edit it?

    iCal Lion is infuriating. How can I add a new event in a chosen calendar without having to create it in my default then edit it?

    We are all entitled to our own opinions. So I respect you there brother
    But then again, Apple has its own basis. iOS is what's selling like pancakes not Macs, so if the gazillions out there are using iOS device and have gotten used to the calendar in their iOS devices. Wouldn't you think it made sense if Lion has the same calendar look and feel?
    Everything was considered and weighthed when they developed Lion. They even mentioned it in the press, They were blown away with the success of iOS so they are extending it to OSX.
    Quite frankly, I like the old iCal but yeah I don't expect anything in SL to stay in Lion otherwise it'll be another Cat name related to Leopard
    People should start looking at this perspective and not get STUCK in the old OS.

  • Can you add cut copy and paste icons to mail toolbar?

    Can you add a cut, copy and paste icons to the mail toolbar in macmail?

    I guess that these were considered such fundamental operations, each with an already existing variety of operations (mouse, keyboard, right-click, ctrl+c etc) that the Thunderbird devs didn't choose to replicate them again. Similarly, keyboard selection is relied upon a great deal in Thunderbird, rather than adding all the ugly (IMHO) checkboxes that now counterintuitively litter all Windows Explorer displays.
    So, if the devs expected you to use ctrl+right+shift to select the current text word by word, then ctrl+c to copy it, ctrl+x to cut it and ctrl+v to paste it would be quite natural, since your hands are already at the keyboard. Similarly, if you prefer to select by mouse, a right-click also offers options to copy, cut and paste, and there is also the possibility to drag selected text, serving cut and paste in one action. So it could be argued that there is no need for buttons.
    There used to be additional button add-ons for Thunderbird, but those that I know about don't appear to be under active maintenance and don't currently work with TB 31.0.
    You could build your own using a Custom Buttons add-on, but it isn't easy to find the appropriate function call to attach to your home-made buttons. :-(
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/custom-buttons/
    Here's the code you need if you try this add-on:
    cut: goDoCommand("cmd_cut")
    copy: goDoCommand("cmd_copy")
    paste: goDoCommand("cmd_paste")
    (taken from: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyconfig_extension:_Thunderbird )
    The tedious bit is finding suitable icons; the defaults are pretty but unhelpful coloured stars.

  • I can't add a new event to my calendar on iPhone.

    I can't add a new event to my calendar on iPhone. The plus sign is greyed out and even when I try it with Siri it says "Sorry. I can't do that right now". I did my due diligence and searched all over the forums and internet and I can't fix this. There was a listing in a forum where a lady had this same symptom but it looks like toggling iCloud worked for her. Not for me. I went into Settings>iCloud and turned off Calendar and then turned it back on. Still nothing. I even went to iCloud Backup and turned it on then back off and still nothing. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

    See if you can go to your Calendars App and select a previous event to see what Calendar the event was added to (iCloud or Yahoo). After that is determined you can go to www.iCloud.com or calendar.yahoo.com and add the event there to see if it will populate on your device. Another troubleshooting step is deleting the iCloud account from your device and also deleting the Yahoo account. Then check to see if you can add an event without it syncing to a email. If you can then it may have just been a bug and you can add both accounts back and try adding the event again. I would also recommend only using one service to sync your Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, etc. Such as either iCloud only or Yahoo only, as using multiple accounts means your data is spread around and can be hard to isolate when something goes wrong.

  • Can't add a new event to an imaged iMac.

    I have an older iMac at work. It is on a network so all the macs are imaged. When trying to add a new event to iCal it just doesn't work. I try to drag in day but the it just diasappears. This iCal is synced with my computer at home. It works fine on the eMac which is not imaged at work but is also synced with my home computer. Any thoughts?

  • 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
