Cannot type in invitees in ical event.

Hello,
I am facing a problem in adding invitees when creating an ical event
I cannot type an address that is not stored in my address book.
Is there any way to help please?
Thank you

Either you have a demo version that has expired or you simply opened a Layout template that requires a textbox to type into.
Go back to Template Chooser and open a Word Processing temnplate (see the sidebar).

Adding invitee to iCal event causes double-ups

Whenever I add an invitee to an iCal event, it doubles up on iCal when they accept. Cannot delete double-up as it deletes it off invitee's calendar.

I'm having the same problem. From the number of unresolved problems with iCal under Snow Leopard I suspect that the application is in need of some serious refactoring. Clearly, the problem with inserting invitees is a problem with an index on the contacts application or the type of query that is being issued. I suspect the later since the mail application does not have the same problem.
Has anyone at Apple with access to source code looked into this? Is there a more formal way of submitting a problem report?

Issues adding Invitees to ical event

When I click the field to add an invitee to my ical event and start typing the name, my address book contacts come up. I keep clicking the name of the person I want to invite and then if I press enter, tab or click elsewhere the name disappears. Ive also tried just typing in the email address but no matter what I try to do, it just wont let me submit it.
Any suggestions?

I was looking for this answer too. I think I found it here: https://discussions.apple.com///thread/3141227?start=0&tstart=0
Good luck!

Adding invitees to iCal event takes forever...

Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, adding an invitee to a calendar event takes 30-40 seconds. I start typing a name, get the spinning beachball, and thirty seconds later get a list of matching contacts from Address Book.
Thirty or forty seconds is the actual time, not a guesstimate. And while this doesn't seem very long, I can't do anything else while I'm waiting. (If I switch applications, it stops looking where it left off.)
All of my software is up to date. I recently wiped the hard drive and did a clean install (I've tried everything I can think of to decrease this time) and I have about 5,000 contacts in Address Book.
The next option is to delete all of my contacts, but that seems unworkable (for obvious reasons.)
Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

Number 4 is added when typing invitees name in event using iCal 4.0 connect

The client is a new Snow Leopard MacBook Pro it is setup and working just fine with a OS X 10.5 server. All services (mostly iCal Server) seem to be working just fine. The only issues is when adding invitees in iCal event, a number four appears at the beginning of the name as part of the email address of the invitee. The work around has been to just show the Address panel and drag and drop names into the invitees field and the 4 does not appear but if you just start to type the name the 4 appears. It seems to be part of the look-up that is being done by iCal in the local address book and in the address book on the server.
The user can see all of the calendars on the server they have permission to and can and and remove events without issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello jo ann51,
For correcting mail issues, I would recommend reviewing the following article. It contains helpful troubleshooting steps and information:
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
Try a different Wi-Fi connection
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone.

I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone. It does not have the edit button at the top of the screen.
The event does not show up in iCal on my Mac or on my iCloud.
One of these is a reoccuring event.

The only other thing I can think of is to try deleting the entire calendar from your iPhone and then sync your iCal calendar to your phone again. This needs to be done carefully. I would begin by backing up your iCal calendar on your mac for safekeeping by opening iCal, then going to File>Export>Export, save this on your desktop. Then do the following:
On your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turn Calendars to Off. You should get a prompt asking you whether to keep or remove the calendar data from your phone. Choose to remove it.
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to iTunes>Preferences, go to the Devices tab check "Prevent...from automatically syncing".
Now connect your phone and, as before, go to the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings. Confirm that you have checked to Sync Calendars with iCal, then further down under Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone check Calendars, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.
This should transfer your iCal calendar to your iPhone, hopefully this time without the problem event. Check your phone to confirm that this was successful, then you can then go back to iTunes Preferences and re-enable automatic syncing.

Cannot see or edit time of events in iCal

I cannot see or edit times in iCal any longer, only dates. This affects only one user, so I guess that there is a corrupted user-specific resource file somewhere that I could try renaming/deleting. Does anyone have any ideas?
I believe that this condition was triggered by creating an iCal event from Mail.
More details and a screenshot at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=8110912&postcount=10
Thanks for any hints/suggestions.

Eventually found in System Preferences -> International -> Formats that my region was set to "Custom". I have no idea how this happened - I certainly never set this directly through system preferences.
I selected "United Kingdom" as my region, and the times showed up in iCal once again.

I just started using iCal and I cannot double-click to add an event. Did I accidentally change something?

I just started using iCal and I cannot double-click to add an event. I could when I started a couple of hours ago. Did I change something? Can I change it back?

Kristacattack,
The tracing results in separate paths. The straight lines show where the open filled paths start and end.
In the first sample, you may drag with the Direct Selection Tool over the top where the straight lines meet and Ctrl/Cmd+J to join the the paths; you may do the same elsewhere to create continuous/closed paths (hopefully, you will only drag over the two endpoints, otherwise you will have to find and delete superfluous Anchor Points).
This may be better than just cheating with the Live Paint Tool because the artwork becomes more coherent.
Edit: Hi Monika.

When syncing with Google Calendar invitees added to iCal events wont work

I'm using Spanning Sync to sync my iCal with Google Calendar (which
then syncs with the iPhone app Pocket Informant).
It may be a coincidence, but when I started using Spanning Sync, I
found that when I create a new iCal event and include someone in the
"invitees" field, that person then gets an error message when they attempt
to add the event to their iCal by clicking on the .ics attachment in the notification email ("iCal cant read this calendar file. No
events were added to your iCal Calendar").
When I add one of my own email addresses to the invitees field, the ics attachment works okay for me.
Is this related to the Google Calendar syncing or some other problem?

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I am guessing you setup the http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/sync.html
Please keep in mind that this service is still in Beta. So you may find that certain features do and do not work as you are experiencing. You may find some additional settings options for google calendars at

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Cannot add new iCal events on my iPhone 3G.

My iPhone 3G has stopped saving new iCal events. I can still set up new events in iCal on my laptop, and they'll sync over to my iPhone, but new events won't save when entered into iCal on my iPhone. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix this?
BTW, I just got rid of a MobileMe account. I never ended up using MobileMe, so it doesn't seem like that should be the issue here, but I noticed that some other folks have had iCal sync issues with MobileMe, so I thought I'd add that info.

In other words, it's hacked.
Sorry, you can't get help here.
Say for an instance, that it wasn't hacked. Would you suggest to just wipe and restore it?

Cannot type in new events

Yesterday suddenly I was not able to type in or change an event. I can double click the calendar and type in my event, but it immediately pops back to "new event". I do not synchronize to another computer.
It's as if the calendar is read only--I haven't changed anything about the calendar to my knowledge.
Does anyone have ideas? I'm lost without it!
iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hmm, if you subscribe to other calendars, make sure you have one of your own calendars selected. Whichever calendar you have selected, that is the one it will make the new event in.

Not getting contacts from address phone when using Add Invitees in iCal

Until recently, i notice when i type in 'Add invitees' for any event, it does not retrieve contacts from my address book.
I am running 10.6.4 and ical version 4.0.1 (1374).
any help would be appreciated.

j,
...i ran software updates and i do not see an entry to update ical to 4.0.3. so do i get the latest version?
If you ran software update your system version should be Mac OS X (10.6.5), and iCal should be Version 4.0.4.
Try downloading and installing the Mac OS X v10.6.5 Update (Combo).
;~)
