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 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.

  • Cannot Edit Imported Objects in Preview Window

    Greetings,
    I am having a strange problem with Premiere CS5. In the picture below I have a video on the video1 layer and a static .png picture of a badge on the "Badge" layer. I want to move the badge from the right side of the screen to the left side of the screen.
    No matter what I try, I cannot click or edit that badge in the preview window above the sequence window. I have double clicked, single clicked, right clicked. Two experienced video editors have also looked at it and they cannot seem to figure it out either.
    This is a new installation of CS5, so we are thinking it is some kind of strange setting we are not aware of. Also it's not exclusive to this project or file type. We have tried .gif files, .avi files, etc. We have opened new projects and tried importing a video or static object there and you cannot edit the placement of it. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

    Select the PNG in the time line by clicking on it, go to the effects control panel and use motion/position to place it in the location you want..

  • Cannot edit iCal events on iPhone 3G with OS 5.0

  • 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.

  • Cannot edit icloud events in outlook 2013

    I have a new surface pro 3 running office 365, which I'm told by Microsoft store is just a license of Office 2013, and that there shouldn't be unique hardware compatibility issues with icloud.
    All of my data has been in icloud, my family has iphones and macs as well as pcs. I'm trying to operate on both MS and OS/iOS platforms.
    The icloud control panel program is installed and all of my email folders and calendars and contacts populated Outlook after some work..
    However, when attempting to edit any calendar appointment in Outlook on one of my iCloud calendars I get an error:
    "This item cannot be saved to this folder. The folder was deleted or moved, or you do not have permission. Do you want to save a copy of it in the default folder for the item?"
    Saying yes to this makes a copy of the appointment, as edited, in the default Outlook calendar, for which I have no use as it will no longer be shared with the appropriate party as the icloud calendar is. I need the appointment to stay where it is, but just accept the changes.
    A few weeks ago a senior apple tech told me that icloud control panel does not support the surface when that seemed like the question to ask. After reading countless frustrated threads like this one, it seems that support of Outlook 2013 is the issue, although an 18 month old issue at that.
    Any suggestions? Many thanks

    Hi,
    Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We'll try our best to resolve the problem.
    Can you see the read emails from web access?
    What happens when you click "All"? Did you get a message "We didn't find anything to show here"?
    Please try to switch to another View to check if the issue persists. Click
    VIEW tab > Change View > select another view to check if the "All" works properly.
    We can also try to start Outlook with /cleanviews command-line switch to check the result. Exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run command and then type
    outlook.exe /cleanviews, press Enter to check if this fix the problem. 
    Please let me know the result.

  • 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.)

  • Dear Team, Can we secure "sent msg" that the receiver cannot edit while forwarding/replying? Is possible to import .PST file(S) into thunderbird?

    Dear Team,
    Can we secure “sent msg” that the receiver cannot edit while forwarding/replying?
    Is possible to import .PST file(S) into thunderbird? If yes, any size limit?
    Can we convert thunderbird data file in .PST?

    I don't think you can prevent email body text from being copied and edited.
    You'd probably need to created a protected Word or PDF document, and send it as an attachment.
    This is still some sort of guessing because it's still not clear to me what exactly your scenario is.
    Whatever text you send in an email, regardless of whether in the body or as an attachment, the recipient will always be able to use that and distribute it further, e.g. by making a screenshot. And images can be 'photoshoped' as well.
    If you want the recipient to be able to detect whether a message or an attachment has been altered on transit, you'd need to sign it.

    Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

  • 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?

  • I cannot edit a calendar event

    For some reason I am no longer able to edit an event on my home calendar.  I can create a new home event and it automatically names it new event with a default time of 11:00 a.m.  I have always been able to create an event and edit it with the details of time alarm duration etc.
    Can someone shed some light on this for me.  Thanks

    Greetings,
    1. First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
    2. 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.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
    If the issue persists Safe Boot and then restart as normal and test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
    Hope that helps.

  • 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!
