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.

The calendar events on iPhone 4 have been deleted and cannot add any new events
iphone 4 calendar-- all events erased and cannot add any new events-- + is grayed out!
Hi all,
I work for an Enterprise with around 30 devices so far, 5 of them have been upgraded to iOS 5.01 and we are having this issue, the steps below are appearing, these are both on iphone and ipad 2's with exchange 2003:-
- Exchange Calendars not sync'ing, but Yahoo account working fine.
- Create an appointment on the ipad / iphone and this sync's with Exchange.
- Close the Calendar and re-open the appointment disappears, but stay's within Exchange.
- Meetings created within the Exchange Calendar do not synch with the iphone / ipad.
This is starting to cause a lot of issues.
Thanks

Cannot type existing new Sync key in entry field
I recently changed my Sync key on my desktop, but when I try to type the new Sync key into the appropriate field on the options tab for Sync on my laptop, no keyboard input is accepted. No error messages, but I can tap any key and nothing happens. The keyboard and laptop themselves work fine--in fact, I'm typing the question on the laptop now--but this problem renders Firefox Sync basically useless. If I can't sync across multiple platforms, then there's no point. For that matter, if I reinstall my OS on the desktop, if I can't enter the key, the backup for Firefox info goes away. What was the Firefox Sync dev team thinking?!
I have the same problem. The incoming mail field is grey and will not let me type in it.
Any suggestions? -
My Calendar + or Add button is not working. I am unable to add
ny events to my callendars. The IPhone app and also the
Fantastical Calendar App that I just got. They both have the same symptoms.
I need my calendar does anyne have any suggestions. I have already rebooted the
phone.Was able to fix it. Just enable iCloud via your settings on your ipad. For some reason that allows Calendar to work properly. Just another way Apple is trying to make you use ALL of their products, rather than just one...

Hello,
I am experiencing the same behaviour seen by others on the list. It probably occured due to the OSX upgrade to 10.5.6. I hadn't used iCal much since Dec 10 or so and only noticed the anomalous behaviour yesterday.
What I see:
- iCal comes up but all previous events are no longer in it
- The default Home and Work calendars are also gone
- The left bottom section of iCal shows January 2001 and the forward/back buttons do not work in the this subwindow
- I cannot add any new events
- I can only close iCal by using force quit
My events and calendars files are still available in the ~\Library\Calendars folder but I cannot import them into iCal. File->Import->Import an iCal file does not work (a finder like window does not appear to allow me to choose a file).
I have tried the following:
- moving com.apple.iCal.plist to the desktop and login/logout
- moving Calendar Cache to the desktop and login/logout
- login using another account and tried to use iCal. no go.
I haven't tried to install an older version of iCal from the OSX DVD yet.
Any ideas?I am having the same behavior. In the past with many major OSX upgrades this has happened and I had to get a previous copy from Time Machine. Right now my Time Machine copy is dead and I can't do it. I tried getting an older copy of iCal but it is exhibiting the same behavior!! I can't synch the calendar with my iPhone, either! No, I do not want to reinstall Leopard from scratch on this machine just to replace iCal - that is ABSURD!! This is the 3rd or 4th time this has happened. I don't have 4 - 6 hours of my time to fix this kind of problem every couple of months - not to mention several spare hard drives, etc.
What is causing this problem, and how can we get iCal back??
How about a simple iCal reinstall utility page on the Apple Web site if this is going to keep happening?? -

Hi mgdugas,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below will review how to add an event to your calendar. There are several ways to do it, so possibly trying one of the alternatives will work for you.

Create a new event in a calendar
Hello,
I have some calendars but I cannot create a new event just clicking on
a day.
I can do it from the ribbon,events,new event,but it's not as convenient.
Do you know, what could be wrong?
EDIT:
I can add that the problems shows up with Internet Explorer (version 11). With Firefox it works fine. Besides, it is connected to AAM. Indeed, if use as an url Alternate Access Mapping I cannot click on the day, while if I access the site with the
server name all works fine.Hi,
As mentioned by Cameron there are couple of known issues with 64 bit version of IE,
try with 32 bit version of IE also, Please also try adding your SharePoint site AAM URL
in trusted sites zone
from IE11.
Thanks,
Ajeet

Updated to Yosemite, safari freezes and cannot type into word
I updated to Yosemite and my Safari has been freezing, and MS word will not work, I cannot type into new documents. I can open them, I can type here (so the keyboard works), but I cannot type in word
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Safari
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Quit the application if it's running. Move all files in that folder with a name beginning in "History" to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the items you moved back where they were, overwriting the ones that may have been created in their place. Otherwise, delete the items you moved. If possible, restore them from a backup that predates the problem.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
Two questions:
After selecting photos, I cannot get "make new event" to appear as anything other than greyed out and inaccessible. How do I get tihs to be available?
Second question: Is there a way of hiding photos in the library that does not hide them after they have been sorted into albums or events etc?
Thanks for help. The transition to Mac from IBM can be painful, but as we all know, "Resistance is futile."It is a sort of gmail account.
It is Virginmedia email which is run by gmail.
I have given up on Google things apart from the basic search. They have made things so complicated I have no idea what is happening and you can never contact anyone to sort it out and I have found their forums useless.
I used most of the products they have bought before hand and I ended up with about 6 google accounts. I managed to get it down to about 3 but now I avoid it if at all possible.
I don't think virginmedia really know how the system works.
I have 2 email adresses I use and eventually I got the first one to work ok on Thunderbird nut I had a lot of trouble getting the other to work and then suddenly it appeared on Thunderbird, I still have no idea how it happened but it works in a completely different way to the first address. -
my calendar will no longer let me add new event or delete them, it comes up with an error saying "cannot save event, no end date set" or "event does not belong to that event store". can anyone help with this?
Hi,
To configure your ODBC DataSource, go to Control Panel ---> DataSources(ODBC) (If you are in a Windows environment).
Select the tab System DSN. If you have not added your data source, then do so by clicking on the Add button. If you have added the datasource, click on the Configure button to configure it.
Give the datasource name, then the database name.
You have to give the hostname, service name and server name. I guess, in most cases, the datasource name and host name will be the same, service name and server name will be the same. If you are using TCP/IP, the protocol will be onsoctcp.
There will be a file named Services under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc where you have to give the port number for accessing this server.
It will be like this <service name> <portnumber>/tcp
Hope this helps...
best wishes,

Since downloading Firefox 4, I am having problems archiving gmail conversations from my inbox view (either one or several conversations) as it says "No Conversations Selected" when I have selected one or several. Also, when I go to enter a new event in google calendar, I have to click the cursor in the box to type the event (it used to let me just start typing) or else it flips out and starts jumping to day view or another month. Does anyone know how to fix either of these?
I have had this problem; but while trying to fix another problem, I reset my preferences for Firefox and it fixed this problem as well. To reset preferences, follow this link: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Resetting%20preferences
