Cannot create "On My Mac" Calendar - Mavericks

I am trying to add an "On My Mac" calendar but the only option I have when selecting File, New Calendar, is to add an iCloud Calendar.
How do I add a calendar for "On My Mac" only?

Open up your calendar,
And select calendars in the top left-hand corner of the screen, then select Birthdays or US Holidays, so that it doesn't put the calendar into one of your accounts. Then right-click (Or control-click, depending on your settings), in the gray area so that you don't select a calendar, and the choose "New Calendar" from the menu, and it should create a new calendar under the "On My Mac"
I hope this helps!

  • Cannot synchronize "ON MY MAC" calendars in Ical with iCloud.

    Cannot synchronize "ON MY MAC" calendars in Ical with iCloud. It works well from iCloud to Ical, and Ical to iCloud except for all the calendars in the "ON MY MAC" group.
    Please help.

    That's correct: both in MobileMe and iCloud you cannot 'sync' 'On My Mac' calendars. This is because there is no actual syncing in the literal sense: the calendars are held on the server, and read from there by iCal (think of it as being like webmail and it makes sense).
    The only way to 'sync' an 'On My Mac' calendar is to move it to iCloud. This page is written for MobileMe but the principle is the same: please follow the first set of numbered instructions.

    This app works for some systems as below:
    Windows 7 - works OK and creates shortcut
    Linux (OpenSuse 11.4 and 12.3) - works OK, shortcut usually created (seems a bit flakey)
    Mac OS: cannot create shortcut
    Mac OS version: 10.8.3
    java Version 7 update 17 (build 1.7.0_17-b02)
    Java Console -> View Temporary Internet Files -> Install Shortcuts for the Selected Applications -> "Unable to Create Shortcut for PriceBook"
    The jars have been signed with a self-signed cert, which of course I accepted on install, and it is possible to re-launch the app from Java Console.
    Is there a solution for this ?

  • Cannot create keychain in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

    I upgraded from Mac OS X 10.4.11 to Mac OS X 10.5 today. Now my passwords cannot be saved to a keychain. My keychain from 10.4 was copied to the ~/Library/Keychains folder, but does not show up in the Keychain Access list. When I try to create a new keychain, I get an error saying,
    *"An error occurred while trying to create a new keychain."*
    Now, every time I check my mail or do anything that requires a password, I have to enter the password. When Mac OS X tries to create a new keychain to store the password, it fails. Cookies are also not functioning correctly.
    Here is some additional information that may be helpful:
    1. I have run Keychain First Aid within Keychain Access. It verifies everything fine. But Repair terminates unexpectedly.
    2. I tried upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5 by both an Upgrade and Install, and a Clean Install followed by a system migration. Same problem either way.
    3. I have repaired permissions on the boot volume both from the boot volume and from the Installer disc.
    4. Disk First Aid says the hard disk appears to be OK.
    5. *Files within my user folder have (unknown) as the Group owner.* I am not sure why this is, but wonder if it is related to the problem I am experiencing.
    If anyone has an idea regarding what the problem is or how I can fix it, please let me know!
    Thanks.

    When I'm using disk utility and use "verify disk" I get the following message:
    "First Aid failed
    Disk utility stopped verifying "UltraMax" because the following error was encountered.
    Filesystem verify or repair failed."

  • Create on my mac calendar

    I want to create a calendar "on my mac" but am unable to figure out how to do that.  The only options that are available when I click on "new caledar" are on "mobileme or iCloud".  Is it possible to create a new calendar "on my mac"?

    Here is another method of creating a calendar on your Mac.
    1. Disable iCloud by going to Calendar > Preferences > Accounts. It's important just to disable iCloud from Calendar's preferences, not completely sign out of it from within System Preferences.
    2. Create a new calendar which name does not conflicts with any calendars you've already got in your iCloud.
    3. Enable your iCloud account.
    This will create a new calendar on the sidebar under the "On My Mac"

  • Cannot create new mailbox folder on my mac.

    I am trying to add a new mailbox folder and gives me error cannot create on your mac? What is this all about?

    Apparently, Mail has a bug that causes ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes to sometimes be a file instead of a folder, and that prevents Mail from creating any mailboxes there.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, proceed as follows:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
    3. Locate Mailboxes. If it’s a file instead of a folder, move it to the Trash.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • Cannot create new Calendar Group in Mountain Lion

    I am using a brand new iMac. I didn't use the migration tool-- instead I exported all of my Calendars from Snow Leopard and Imported them via the File menu in the Calendar application in Mountain Lion.
    Under the File menu, there is no "New Calendar Group" option. Command-Shift-N results in an error alert sound and no action.
    I do not use iCloud for anything other than email-- everything is turned off in System Preferences.
    In Calendar, under the Preferences -> Accounts section, I have NO accounts. It is completely blank.
    My previous groups from my export/import are there under the "On My Mac" section of the Calendars panel. I can edit them. But I cannot create any new ones.
    Any suggestions? Everything on the internet says I need to deactivate my iCloud account calendars... but I don't use them.

    Ah, Barney, you are a lifesaver!
    Sorry for the late reply, I was away from my computer this weekend.
    All of my calendars had been in groups. I moved one of them outside, and TA DA-- "New Calendar Group" appeared.
    Thanks so much for the help. I will have to leave 1 calendar outside of a group so I can add as many as I'd like.

    It depends on what iMac you have. If it is an old PPC (G4 orG5) iMac then no further upgrades are possible. If it an Intel iMac:
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    (NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:

    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)

  • Cannot create a calendar collection because there are too many already present in

    My OS X Server (Yosemite) error log is throwing this error:
    2014-10-22 00:03:07+0800 [-] [caldav-2]  [-] [twistedcaldav.storebridge.CalendarCollectionResource#error] Cannot create a calendar collection because there are too many already present in <twistedcaldav.directory.calendar.DirectoryCalendarHomeResource object at 0x10743a750>
    ...when I attempt to add more than 50 lists in the Reminders app. I had a similar issue in Mavericks. Is this "50" number available to modify in a config file somewhere?
    My plan is to manage GTD-type projects in my Reminders apps (on iOS and OS X), but this limit is keeping me from creating a list for EVERY project I have.

    Woohoo! I set the integer to "500" and I now have over 200 lists added, and syncing, to my Reminders app and related tools.
    Here's exactly what I did after reading the response from Linc Davis:
    Stop the Calendar service
    Create /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Config/caldav-user.plist
    Edit contents of "caldav-user.plist", setting your desired integer value:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
         <dict>
           <key>MaxCollectionsPerHome</key>    
           <integer>500</integer>
         </dict>
    </plist>
       4. Start the Calendar service
    Enjoy your many more lists.
    Note that a file created in a place other than ~/ may have permissioning issues. To get around this, I made a copy of /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/caldavd-system.plist, then renamed and edited that file with nano in terminal.

  • Cannot create Calendars

    I updated my MobileMe Calendar.
    Then iCal hung when syncing.
    Now there are no calendars in my view on the left side.
    I cannot create a calendar. Nothing shows up at all.
    I tried deleting my current iCal account, but no change.
    I tried adding my MobileMe Calendar account, but no change.
    Any ideas?

    paulicka,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Are your calendars visible on the MobileMe iCal web application when you go to me.com?
    You list Mac OS X 10.4.10 as your operating system. Is that correct? MobileMe: Supported system requirements outlines the recommended and minimum system requirements.

    Your Mac is definitely one of the supported models? http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/specs/
    If so, what happens when you try to download? Is it a case of nothing happens? If so, take a look at the suggestions under 'Stalled Download' in this link:

    Also, some usrs have found that logging out of the Mac App Store and then back in again and starting over has kick-started the download. It seems that the 5+gb download can take a long time to give any feedback as to what's happening.

  • Installed Mac OS X v.10.6.7, and now we cannot create a PDF file

    Installed Mac OS X v.10.6.7, and now we cannot create a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Professional.  This has been done on two computers, one an iMac and the other a MacBook Pro.  Assistance greatly appreciated.

    Yes, Adobe Acrobat X Pro is the same thing as Acrobat X Pro.
    Print to PDF is probably the most reliable way to create a PDF file.
    File > Create > PDF from File
    is shaky.  It works with some file types but not with others.
    Another issue is creating a multi-page PDF from a scanner.  If you neglect to check the box "Prompt for scanning more pages" and, instead, simply try to add a second page, the application crashes.

    The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.

  • Cannot Create a new ToDo...iCal freezes, and Calendars do not appear anymor

    Hi. In iCal, I have recently tried to create a new ToDo, and when I do, iCal freezes, I have to ForceQuit iCal, and the next time I open iCal, my calendars no longer appear in the left as they normally do. Someone suggested deleting the file for iCal in ~/Library/Preferences. I did that, and it fixes the calendars, meaning they do reappear, but I cannot create a ToDo anymore.
    Please Help!

    I've had a similar thing happen. When MoblieMe first opened, I chose to sync my iCal from my MacPro and my Macbook Pro and after that, all my calendars were blank in the left side window. If I tried to add a new calendar, the scroll bar showed that another one was added but the window was still blank. There were no events listed in the calendar window itself either but if I clicked on the "search" button at the bottom of the window, all the events that had previously been there were listed. If I clicked on one of those events, it would show up on the calendar in the color of the appropriate calendar it had been placed in. But the "list" window on the left was still blank. And I can't add any more events. I've tried all the fixes I've found by searching this forum and none have worked. I'm still looking for a solution. I"m on Tiger , still, so the combo update listed above won't work for me.
