Cannot edit calendar category

Not sure why this hasn't been corrected yet, but on both the iPhone and the iPad, once you create a calendar event, you cannot edit the category. You can only do this via the Mac app or MobileMe. Why???

To clarify...
When I create a calendar item on my iPhone or iPad, I choose which calendar (category/group/type, whatever). I said category to imply I had set up different calendars. So for instance, most of the time I will select the "Work (green)" calendar which happens to be the default.. The problem is that if I accidentally save the item in the wrong calendar, I cannot change it on the iPhone or iPad.
Here's a scenario to make sure everyone is crystal clear on this...
I create a new event, input the time, place, alarm, notes and then I save it. Oops, I meant to save it as a "Personal (blue)" calendar event, but it was saved as a "Work (green)" event. Now, I have to go to MobileMe and change it because I cannot do so on the iPhone or iPad.
Okay now, hope that clears it up.

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.

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.

Cannot Edit Calendar on iPhone after saving - iPhone 2.0

I was very happy to have all my calendars on my iPhone. However, I found a bug (I hope it is a bug/oversight and not by design). When you enter an event in the iPhone calendar app, choose the specific calendar and save it everything is fine. It's when you try to go back and edit it. If you need to change the specific calendar, you can't. There is no option in the edit screen.
If I'm missing something, someone let me know. I cannot find where I can change an event's calendar on the iPhone 2.0 once it's been saved. I sent this to Apple Feedback but wanted others to realize this. It looks like the only workaround is to delete the event and re-enter with the revised calendar. Hopefully this will be fixed.

I found the fix from another post. Fix was posted by cmaglinger.
You have to match the capitalization or the exact format of your email address from active directory.
On my iPhone, I first had exchange configured with all lowercase characters for my email, but my email in AD had some capitals. So, I just changed my iPhone to match AD.
That fixed 2 things for me:
1) Quit getting invitations from everything that I created even if just me attending.
2) I am now able to edit all appointments wether created on pc or iPhone.
Hope this helps you too.

Cannot edit Calendar Inbox

My calendar is sync'd to my office calendar. It works fine. But when I set up meetings, some, not all, responses go to the inbox in my iPhone calendar. If I am working in Office and move objects, they used to move as the calendar was updated. Since I downloaded iOS8, the Calendar Inbox has been filling up with items that are not deleted, AND I cannot delete them on my iPhone. I acknowledge the Calendar Inbox item, but it does not go away and resides in the Inbox. I am now at 7 items in the Inbox that are always showing as new items in the front page app. (That is the number 7 in a red circle on the calendar symbol.) How do I remove those items????

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.

Users cannot edit a shared calendar of a shared mailbox that was deleted from the cloud and recreated on premise

Description:
The following example account [email protected] is an on premise AD account being used as a shared mailbox in the cloud. We have discovered that regardless of what we do, not a single user can edit the calendar entries.
The following message is shown in Outlook Click to Run 2013 when an entry. "New appointment" button is also greyed out, including "Calendar Permissions" and some others.
This problem started when the shared mailbox was created wrongly by creating it in the cloud first and we had to delete it and start over. The "in the cloud" user was deleted and the same user was created in AD on-premise with the same account name
and then Dir Synced with the cloud. A license was assigned, a user mailbox on exchange online created and the type was converted to a shared mailbox and Editor rights were defined on the calendar folder for specific users.
Actions performed:
Action01: gave users Editor rights on calendar folder through powershell
Result01: Rights correctly added and can be seen when get-mailboxfolderpermission is ran
Action02: Opened calendar with Outlook and tried to edit entries
Result02: Error message pops up saying "You don't have permission to create an entry in this folder. Right click the folder and check..."
Action03: Opened calendar with OWA of users
Result03: Users can edit the shared calendar on OWA
Action04: Gave users Full Access permission on mailbox with automapping on
Result04: Users can edit calendar in Outlook
Action05: Gave users Full Access permission on mailbox with automapping off (mailbox no longer visible in outlook)
Result05: Users cannot edit calendar in Outlook
Action06: Removed Full Access permission on mailbox for users
Result06: User cannot edit calendar in Outlook
Action07: Removed [email protected] from on-premise AD, performed dirsync, removed account from ms online using remove-msoluser -removefromrecyclebin
Result07: No trace of the account was anywhere to be found.
Action08: Created new [email protected] account on on-premise AD, assigned o365 license to user including exchange online license
Result08: New empty Exchange online mailbox was created
Action09: gave users Editor rights on calendar folder through powershell
Result09: Rights correctly added and can be seen when get-mailboxfolderpermission is ran
(Note: whenever mailboxfolder permissions are modified for this mailbox it's as if they are ran THREE times in a row, the first time they are applied and the powershell gives immediately 3 exceptions behind this:
An existing permission entry was found for user: [email protected]
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Add-MailboxFolderPermission], UserAlreadyExis...nEntryException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=DBXPR05MB046,RequestId=3b3e080e-9aaf-4db9-9b90-b7171d59eba2,TimeStamp=7/11/2014
   8:15:39] [FailureCategory=Cmdlet-UserAlreadyExistsInPermissionEntryException] 57078FCD,Microsoft.Exchange.Manageme
nt.StoreTasks.AddMailboxFolderPermission
    + PSComputerName        : outlook.office365.com
Any other mailbox does not do this when setting mailboxfolder permissions)
Action10: Opened calendar with Outlook and tried to edit entries
Result10: Error message pops up saying "You don't have permission to create an entry in this folder. Right click the folder and check..."
Action11: Tried on a fresh new pc with first time logon
Result11: did not help
Additional information:
We have seen this problem with another user which was recreated, when he shares his calendar with others and people get the calendar invite email and click "Open Calendar" they receive a popup "The folder cannot be found".
My first impression points to a corruption/bug in the GAL on exchange online, since we're using o365 for midsize bussinesses we cannot use the AdressList role to expose the adresslist cmdlts for deeper troubleshooting.
PS:
Issue tested on different computers and with different user accounts, not a single user can edit the calendar of [email protected] when editor rights are given.
Noticed when editing rights for the shared mailbox in powershell after the first confirmation line
Office 2013 is click to run was updated to latest version, version number: 15.0.4659.1001

Greetings Gil,
I haven't heard of that one.
Questions:
Does the calendar in question show up in the "Subscriptions" category of iCal?
If you remove all accounts from iCal > Preferences > Accounts and quit and re-open iCal, does the calendar in question vanish? If so, does the calendar come back when you re-input the servers you need into iCal > Preferences > Accounts?
Can you provide a screen shot of your calendar sidebar.
While you answer those questions, some troubleshooting to try:
Try dragging one of your other calendars above this calendar that won't delete and then quit / re-open iCal and attempt to delete the calendar in question.
Failing that:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists at this point:
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Hope that helps!

Cannot edit imported events

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but wondering if others are having this issue.
When I import an event (for example from evite.com) it gets entered into my calendar. However, I am unable to edit the event. I can't change the location, time, or any other category. I'm guessing this is because it sees the event as not belonging to me.
I should be able to edit an event regardless of ownership. It's on my calendar. If iCal warned me that I shouldn't edit it, that's one thing. But not allowing me to edit it is another.
I was able to make the necessary changes through MobileMe, but I shouldn't have to do this.
Is this a bug?

I have the same issue. Specifically, I cannot edit events imported from facebook using the "Export" link. I wouldn't call it a bug as much as an ease of use issue/poor design. I just performed a work-around that was kludgey, but worked. I don't know if all the steps are necessary, but here's what I did. I copied the event and pasted it into another calendar. I then double-cliecked the event to view it. Facebook auto-populates the attendees field, so when I pasted it into the new calendar, it let me add or delete new attendees and click send. Even though I deleted the attendee, it still sent an email to them saying the event was cancelled (?!), but then, after it was sent, I double-clicked the event and the send button changed to an update button and all the fields were editable. So I changed everything and clicked update. This time it did not send an email and changed the event info, including putting it back in the original calendar. After that, every time I double-click the event, it's editable (no edit button) with a done button. Weird. Every other event has an edit button to make changes. I definitely think this is just poor design.

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!

Cannot sync Calendar with iphone 3g/itunes

Not sure what happened but I cannot sync calendar with itunes.
Everything else works fine with syncing with Outlook 2007 through iTunes.
What specifically happens is everything will sync and when it gets to "syncing with calendar" the syncing process hangs, never completes.
Any help?

Try resetting the sync history. iTunes > Edit menu > Preferences > Devices tab, click the button. Then try syncing again.

Cannot Edit Events in iCal

I completed the new software updates yesterday and since then, I cannot edit any of my entries in iCal. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Mandy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
1. How are you trying to edit your events?
2. How many calendars do you have?
3. Are any of the calendars "Subscribed?"
4. What happens when you try to edit an event?
;~)

Cannot edit JPG, GIF files stored in a SharePoint 2010 picture library

Created a SharePoint 2010 picture library to store .jpg, .gif images along with other types of images which were created using Adobe photoshop, Tiff etc.
Upon clicking on the .jpg, .gif files for editing purposes, they open in the browser instead of Photoshop so I cannot edit these files for this reason. Other types of image files are editable but not the jpg, gif files. File associations are already
in place for these files to open in Photoshop. Please advise.
Thank you,
Mahesh

You can change the default application that opens while you click open document using DocIcon.xml which is present on the web front ends. Please look at this link which explains what you need to update in order to take care of your requirement.
