Cannot edit event titles once event is scheduled

Hello there,
I am encountering a problem with iCal not letting me edit my own schedule titles.
When clicking right on the event in order to edit it, the tilte bar is greyed out and not editable.
This error occurs with multiple (and completely new) users. Also I have copied iCal from another system to the Mac, without any changes on effect.
Any ideas?
Regards

This problem is solved by now. I deleted /System/Library/Fonts/LucidaGrande.dfont as described here:

I cannot edit file titles

I cannot edit file name or relocate them without having to put in a password and its rather time consuming when im in a hurry.
I also have problems editing my Pages documents and cannot unlock the document.
A pop down window asks me to duplicate . . . i would rather just edit the existing document.
I have reinstalled Mountaion Lion since there was another bug on my desktop which reinstalling seems to have resolved.
2 Questions to ask;
Why do I have to make duplicates in Pages when there is clearly a facility to unlock and edit document?
Why do I have to input a password everytime i want to edit a file name or move it to another location within my HD?
thanks if your read and respond : ) maybe some scripting changes needed.

Files may become locked because other programs are accessing them.
You have to also understand the file hierarchy of Macs
Hard drive -
-- Users -- yourname
-- Users -- yourname -- Desktop
Are the only places you may write to directly with an user account to your computer unless someone else has set up a parental controls account on your computer.
-- Users -- shared
-- Applications
Are also accessible if you have an administrative account, or you allowed yourself access to those folders when setting up your computer and setting up parental controls.
Data on CDs, DVDs are read only.
Data on USB Sticks are read only unless you undo the lock on them, or format them FAT32.
10.6.5 and later support ExFat.
NTFS has no built-in write support. Several utilities named Tuxera NTFS, Google's Macfuse, and Paragon Software NTFS-Mac can allow you to write to NTFS formatted disks.
If none of this appears to help, and you should be able to write the document where it stands, and no other programs are open when you try it, then go to Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility, select First Aid, and then Repair Permissions.
Usually that resolves most write issues.

TS4337 I cannot edit/delete a reoccurring event that was synced with old Apple ID.

I have an event that was created with an old Apple ID/email. I am unable to edit or delete this reoccurring event. Please help.

In this case if you download it from his account, you will need to deleted and download it again by your account
also delete your backup from iTunes after you delete all the apps/games that you download it from your friend account
so in the next time you try to restore your backup, you will not face the same problem

IPhoto 08 - Editing Event Titles

Okay I consider myself rather computer savvy but i'm beginning to think my new iPhoto 08 simply has a bug.
I keep trying to edit the titles for events, I click on them and the title loads into a text bar and even has the cursor used to highlight/write text. However, if I click on it/highlight it/try to delete it/try to type something new, nothing happens.
Is anyone else having this problem? All I want to do is rename my events. Even when I create a new event and try to give it a title it doesn't let me...
Thanks in advance for any help!

It's done the same as rolls are, in the Info window:

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

When I get an ICS from Outlook that is a multi-day event it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS.

When I get an ICS from Outlook Express (Office is PC based) that is a multi-day event, it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS. I have to delete it and send a "decline notice" to the sender and re-enter it so I can put in multiple day events. Help!

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

Cannot Change Event Title

Greetings,
This seems a bit odd... but for an unknown reason I'm no longer able to edit the Event Title text. When I click on the field to change the event title, I see the field change to a text strip but without a cursor. I can however use the text field via 'search'.
I've tried restarting the application, mac... I've made plenty of events so far, this seems to be out of the blue.
Any ideas?

There is a LONG thread on this subject --http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1075656&tstart=15 -- I would think that some of the ideas there would be of assistance

Can edit event title, day, and hour, but *not* minutes - Help!

I can edit everything about my calendar event title, day, and hour, but not the minutes. This is very annoying and I'm not able to have accurate calendar entries.
It's like there' s a glitch in the program. Can it be reloaded/rebooted?
Using iCal 3.0.8

I have the exact same problem, and it is really driving me crazy...
Any luck with it??

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 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.

Cannot edit iCal events on iPhone 3G with OS 5.0

Now that I've upgraded by iPhone 3G to OS 5.0, I cannot edit events on the phone that were created in iCal on my MacBook Air (running Lion). How do I fix this?

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.

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?

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?
;~)

How do you edit the event title after importing?

I still have not figured this one out. It's not double click, not control click, not command click, not the "info" or "edit" buttons. What is it?
I am also frustrated with merging and splitting events after import. I am now doing all that in the finder before I import. What a pain! Any tips?

I don't like iPhoto '11 either.
1. I can't change the name of the multiple events in the import window as it was possible in earier versions of iPhoto.
2. It is not possible to merge events anymore in the import window.
3. When I get back to the Events view directly after importing new pictures, the most recently added events do not show up.
4. Worse, multiple earlier events seem to have disappeared all together.
5. When quitting iPhoto, I get the message 'updating library'. After restarting iPhoto, the recently added events do show up without a name but just with a date. Then I can rename and merge these events. The events that had disappeared do show up again.
All together, this feels like a very crappy and cumbersome upgrade...
How do I get the correct functionality back, apart from downgrading to an earlier version of iPhoto?

Cannot edit event, add new event and when save the unit says Sorry, we are experiencing technical difficulties. Please wait for a few moments and try again. Er

When I hit save on the edit block or new event , the following warning is shown:-" Sorry we are experiencing technical difficulties. Please wait for a few moments and try again. Error: 0000". The system locks up and can only be cleared by hitting the reload button

Editing ''Titles'' of Events in library, BLACK? How do i change this?

Hi there Mac friends.
When Editing the name of an event in the event library, the text turns blue.

But when choosing to edit one letter or word within the event name, the text background turns dark grey.
This is very hard to see black text on a dark grey background. How do i change this please.
