Cannot add calendar events to my iPhone 5

I have never been able to add calendar events to my phone. There is one event listed from Facebook and I cannot delete it. The + to add an event is grayed out. When I ask Siri to add a calendar event it asks what day and I can say today, then it asks what time the event is, then I pick a random time and it says "okay shall I schedule this event?" and I say yes and then it says "sorry I'm afraid I can't do that". I have no idea why I am unable to add events, but I really depend on my virtual calendars.

Hello Amcha75,
It sounds like you are unable to add a new event to your calendar either manually, or with Siri and you have an event from Facebook that no matter what you do you cannot delete. I was thinking that the Default Calendar may be set to a calendar that you do not have permission to edit. You can check this in the Settings:
Several settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars affect Calendar and your calendar accounts. These include:
Syncing of past events (future events are always synced)
Alert tone played for new meeting invitations
Default calendar for new events
Default time for alerts
Calendar time zone support, to show dates and times using a different time zone
Which day starts the week

I cannot add an event on my iPhone or iPad calendars. The "plus" button, or add event button does not even appear when I open the app.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, that did not fix it. I changed the sync setting as you described, but I still don't get my older events. I have turned my IOS devices off and on again too. One more piece of information, the only events I see for October are recurring events. Either one day events like birthdays set to repeat every year, or events within the month that spanned more than one day. No one time events or appointments are showing.

Cannot add automatically event to caldav ical calendar

Hi,
I cannot add calendar event's from mail to ical caldav calendar.Add to local calendar works perfect, but i need to add to caldav calendar. What can i do to work it automatically?
thx

I had the same problem at first as well...
In order to create an event on the google calendar from within iCal, i need to select my google calendar in the toolbar list of calendars (it won't show up in the menu options if I just double click on the calendar to create a new event).
With the google calendar selected in iCal, I was able to create my first google event from within Mail. Now, the google calendar shows up as a menu option when I click "add this event to my calendar", regardless of whether that calendar is selected or not.

Iphone 4s calendar events disappeared and I cannot add new events

I have an iphone 4s with ios 7. Suddenly all events I added on my calendar disappeared and I cannot add new events. The plus sign+ is there but it is light grey and will not activate. I do not sync it with any other calendar

What account were you using to sync your Calendar? Make sure that account is added to the device, and make sure that Calendars is turned on for that account.
Then, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and make sure that under the Calendar section that 'Sync' is set to 'All Events'.
Then go to the Calendar app, go to Calendars, and make sure that you have that account enabled.
Then, close out all the running apps on your device, and restart it.
Open up your Calendar app. Are your entries back?

I want to be able to add calendar events directly on my iphone 4 and add attendees to these events in the similar way I can do this with my
Blackberry. How does one do this?

Tap the little claendar icon at the top left (next to the search icon) and see what calendars are set up in WeekCal. If none are enabled, then enable the one(s) you want to use.

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.

Ios8 update: cannot add calendar entries via phone

Since updating to ios8, I can no longer add calendar events to my phone. I have always used my outlook.com account for email/cal/contacts with no problems, but now I cannot use the calendar very effectively! I can only add events online, and then they'll sync to my phone. Also noticed that I can no longer set the outlook calendar as the default calendar -- it always reverts to the local iphone calendar.
I've tried the following:
- restart phone
- deactivate/reactivate outlook account
- from "Calendars" menu in the calendar view, turn off/on individual calendars.
Nothing works.
...wishing I could go back.

UPDATE: I just installed "Sunrise" calendar and found that this works without a hitch...

After Installing Lion, Ical does not work. I cannot print, I cannot add an event, etc. How do I reinstall?

Since installing Lion OS, iCal does not work. I cannot add an event, print calendar, etc. How do i reinstall?

You can use Lion Recovery
Before you do that, go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.iCal.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
See if you can print or add an event now.

How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone?

How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone? It allows me to "edit" the event but not to totally delete it. Or at least I can't seem to find a "delete" option anywhere!

Did you create the event somewhere else? A lot of time when u create it on lets say PC or mac, you wont be able to edit it unless its from the same device.
Its also possible its created under a mail account. I would suggest making all your events via icloud, then u should be able to edit it on all platforms regardless on which device made the event.

If you have Outlook 2007 on your computer you can set up the event to repeat every third Thursday on a calendar on your computer within Outlook. Then sync your iPhone with Outlook on your computer using iTunes.
