Cannot edit Reminders in iCal

I cannot edit some of the Reminders in iCal on my MacPro. I tried to figure out what's different about the ones I can't edit, and it may be that they are set to "repeat every day" - I can change them on my iPhone with the Reminders app, but it doesn't make sense to me that I can't change that on my computer. I'd like to end the repeat every day w/out having to use my iPhone.
Does anyone know what's the problem - is it fixable?
Thanks

Please, please, please, report the issue that both alarms and due dates at the same time are not possible as a bug here:http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html. The more people who submit it, the more likely apple will listen.

Why can't I edit reminders in iCal?

If I create a reminder on my iPhone, I cannot edit it in iCal. It shows up just fine, but it is read only....

It seems they can be edited in iCloud, but not in iCal. Also, the repeat feature is only available on the iPhone. I think this is a bug.

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?

Editing Reminders in iCal

I was really excited for being able to manage tasks and reminders on my iPad and iPhone through iCal, but I'm frustrated with how crippled iCal seems to be using iCloud. Am I the only one who can't even check off a task as completed if it's on a Reminder calendar other than the default one? If so, what should I do to fix it?

I like the new Reminders app on my iPhone 4 and iPad 2, but I find the iCloud's Calendar interface for accessing Reminders extremely clunky. It presents the lists in a narrow column on the left side and the items in the list in a narrow column on the right side, with my huge empty calendar in between. There's no way to widen the columns or shrink the calendar or post the columns side by side. Very clumsy. There needs to be a way to break out the Reminders from the calendar, like Google Tasks can pop out of my mail in my browser. Or just put a separate link to Reminders on the iCloud home page.

Cannot drag reminders onto iCal calendar error

Hi there,
I am on the latest updates for my Mac and iPhone 4s.
iCloud syncs perfectly. No complaints there.
My iCal (iCloud) calendar set up on my Mac are as follows:
Work
Personal
Admin
Meetings
To make it easier for me to associate the same as my calendar names on my iCal on my Mac.
I have created Reminder Calendar using the same iCal Calendar for both name and color.
However on my iCal on the Mac, when I drag any Reminder to the iCal calendar, there is an error prompt pop up.
The Server responded with an error
"https://p03-caldav.icloud.com:443/192932320/principal/ is not a location that supports this request."
[Go Offline] [Revert to Server]
Check the screenshot image I have uploaded.
Why is this happening? Is there a way I can set up so it won't have this problem?
I even tried to change the names on my Reminder list in case it clashes with my iCal Calendars...but still same error appears.

I get a similar problem, except mine says my iCloud password is incorrect (which isn't true, as everything else still syncs nicely).
It seems like it only happens when i drag a reminder over into the calender: it's a minor problem, but it is irritating (i use my calendar for loads of different projects that i have running simultaneously, and i like to keep track of how many hours i've spent on each project, by allocating my time to each reminder).

I can't edit my iCloud reminders in iCal

Hi all,
I've got my MacBook set up with Lion 10.7.2, and my iPad and iPhone are now running iOS 5. I have an iCloud account set up and am happily syncing reminders back and forth. My problem though is this: I can't seem to edit reminders in iCal on my MacBook. I can edit them on the devices, just not on the computer.
I can doubleclick on an iCloud reminder just fine and its bubble pops up, but there's no way I can see to actually edit the data there. Same if I select the reminder and then choose "Edit Reminder" from the Edit menu. It looks like this screenshot:
So does anyone know if I may have set something up wrong, or if I've stumbled across a bug of some sort? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

I tried to include a screenshot in my original post, but apparently it didn't work.
I can edit regular reminders just fine doing what you describe. However, when I try to do the same thing for a repeating reminder, the popup that comes up is not editable. That's the frustrating part.
I suspect the theory espoused earlier on the thread is correct, i.e., that iCal hasn't had real support for repeating reminders built into it yet. I can work around the problem so far by updating the reminders in question on either my iPhone or iPad, but that particular workaround is useful only if you have an iPhone or iPad.

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 edit iCal to do's

I can no longer edit the to do entries in my iCal! I used to be able to click on it and the edit box came up. Now it no longer does and I cannot edit them at all!! Help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will 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.
Hope that helps.

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 invite attendees to iCal event in iCal 5.0 on new MacOSX lion?

Hi there,
Background: I have two gmail calendars snyced with the new iCal 5.0 on MacOsx Lion.
Problem: When creating an event, I cannot add anybody to the event. The attendee field is just nonexistant. If I drag and drop a business card into iCal a new event is created with the person listed as attendee, but I cannot edit this event.
Cry for help: This is weird - I need this to work. With those basics, there is no excuse for iCal . I cannot find anything relevant on the web. Did anybody experience something similar?
Thanks for your support,
B

Got a solutions for you that worked for me because I have the same annoying problem.
1. sign in to iclould on the website www.icloud.com/
2. Go to your calendar
3. You'll noticed some extra benefits of creating invents here instead of iCal app. You can actually invite attendees!! Also, when selecting a day for your event, it pops up a calendar and you just click on the day you want. On iCal you have to manually type in the date numbers.
Hope this was helpful.

Reminders in ical

I have a reminders list synced between my iphone and my computer.
For some reason, I can't complete or edit certain reminders on my computer that I created in my iphone. If I update the event in my iphone - it will update on the computer - but I can't edit the event while working on my computer.
I think I should be able to change the event in either spot.
Does anyone have advice on how to fix this? Thanks.

UPDATE: There's no issue changing reminders using the reminders app on icloud.
For now my workaround will just be to use the icloud site on my computer for the reminder list.
It seems like the only time I have an issue is when I try to update the reminders in ical on my computer.
I checked to see if the app store had a reminders only app - similar to what's on my iphone and the icloud site - but I couldn't find one.
Maybe the issue has to do with the fact that the iphone and icloud have a reminders list separate from the calendar - but it seems odd that the reminders in ical doesn't seem to have the same funcionality.

"Hide reminders" in iCal doesn't work.

Hi.
I upgraded my snow leopard to lion yesterday.
In iCal, I cannot hide reminders, even though I tried both menu option and hot key.
Anyone can fix it?

ssamomi,
Application UI issues are in many cases, caused by a corrupt plist file.
Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you can use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.

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!

Unable to edit events in iCal

Unable to edit events in iCal?
When tap event, just get details,
Can't delete event

I have reset my sync history on the Mac (running the reset.pl script), but to no effect.
Please help.

Problems with editing items in ical

I use ical with icloud on my Imac, Ipad and 3 Iphones.
When i change an item on one of these devices and you press OK, you get to see your edited item for just a few seconds before ical changes the item back tot its old settings.
So lets say you want to change the time of an item in your agenda from 12.00 to 02.00 for example, it will show your changes for a few seconds before the item is back on 12.00 again.
This does not happen all the time. I thought it had something to do with editing items while ical is synchronizing but when you wait till its finished synchronizing it still happends sometimes. Eventually after editing the **** item 3 -5 times ical approves the changes but **** its annoying when you are in a hurry or dont have time to check up after you edited an item and it changes back without you seeing it.
All devices have had their latest updates and are all connected to the internet either by 3G, WiFi or LAN.
Anyone has an idea about how this is possible?
Thanks

Sorry I am having terrible trouble with even working out how to reply to these forums. I use photoshop elements 8 (and I have also tried Gimp) as I cannot afford CS5. The photo seem to be edited as TIFF and they do get imported. The photos seem to stack, but I am unable to open the stack to view the edited image - I thought when you click the stack it should expand and show all the editions of the photos next to each other. Sometimes - rarely - this works, but most of the time only the original raw file shows up. The crazy thing is even searching for the filename.tif doesn't find the file, even when I copy and paste the file name from Windows Explorer. But the edited file is in the catalogue somewhere because after deleting the original, the edited file shows up as above.
I dread having to edit the files in PE8 because of this, but sometimes this is necessary to be able to use layers and filters.
Note that using Gimp is just the same. I think the problem is in Lightroom.
