Change Which Calendar an E-mailed Event Goes In

Someone e-mailed me an event, and double clicking it put it in to iCal. However, it went into my Birthdays calendar instead of my Appointments calendar. Closing Get Info doesn't give me the option to change it. How can I move it to the correct calendar?

I am having the same problem. What is weird is it is not consistent. I noticed it with a repeated event. Single time events have been ok

How can you change which calendar you accept an invite into?

I have two calendars I use regularly. One is a Work calendar which has my work schedule that gets shared with multiple people. The other calendar is a Personal calendar which is only seen by me. Lately (or possibly always), when I receive a calendar invite from another iCloud user, (1.) I am not able to change the calendar which I accept it into and (2.) after I accept it to my Work calendar I am unable to go back to that event and switch it to a different calendar.
The only thing I was able to think up to try and resolve the issue was to set the Default calendar in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings to my personal calendar, but that didn't work either.
Any thoughts on what may be causing this or how to fix it?

I like how you said "A similar prompt should also appear when accepting an invite or event" because it doesn't appear which is exactly why I posted this question.
I know how to change normal events from one calendar to another but when I accept an event from someone else it gives me no options to change the calendar.

Changing a calendar of a webDAV event generates a 502 error

To reproduce:
1. Select an event in iCal that is served from a WebDAV Server.
2. Using the optional click, change the calendar of the Event to another calendar on the same server.
Result: iCal returns a "The server responded with“502” to operation CalDAVMoveEntityQueueableOperation.”
Expected: The event to be changed to the newly selected calendar.
Note: This functions correctly with local calendars

Hi Chris,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I often do the same thing (ie create an event in the wrong calendar). Are you aware that the assigned calendar appears in the info pane. You could simply select the correct calendar there, even reassign events.
I understand the desire to do this with Quickeys, though I suspect very few people here use Quickeys. So if you don't get an answer here I'd suggest you consider the Quickeys forum: http://forum.cesoft.com/

In the ios5 notification centre can i change which calendars i see or do i have to have all of them showing?

I have multiple google calendars synced on my phone and i am seeing appointments from all those calendars, i just want to select one... help!

You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).
If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

How do I control which calendar an .ics attachment is added to?

I can accept an .ics calendar e-mail attachment. I know many on the board can't, but it does work for me, sort of. The problem is that it always adds it to my yahoo calendar, which I've imported into iCal, rather than one of my me.com calendars. And, once it's been added, it won't let me change which calendar it is in. The problem with this is that the yahoo calendar is not sync'ed with my iPhone, so the event doesn't show up there. I've missed a couple of meetings this way - embarassing!
If I open the event attachment from my iPhone instead, it works fine. I can select which calendar it goes in, including my me.com calendars, and it shows on my MacBook just fine.
Any advice?

There is a Reorder button on the frontpanel (top-right), sort of rotating arrows, which allows you to select what goes in front of what (or behind what). Using the Tools Palette, select the Position/Size/Select (arrow) tool. Use the tool to select your background picture. Press Reorder button, then choose Move To Back.
Hope this helps, Richard.

Which calendar app do you use for multiple calendars?

Hello and Happy New Year!
Here's my situation: I am iPhone5S, iPad2 & MacBookPro13; DH is Droid& Dell and children are iPad Minis & Dell. Their PCs run Win7 & 8.
DH & I use Google calendar to organize our schedules. Now all 3 kids have Minis and I want to allow them to see their appointments and our goings-on for the week on their calendars (we homeschool).
I see that Apple doesn't allow you to assign one event to multiple calendars. For instance, DH & I need to know that Boy#3 has bball practice on Tues & Thurs nights but so does said child. So, ideally, I'd love to assign our main calendar that event AND the "Boys Calendar." Would even be cool for each kid to have his own calendar but I won't split hairs at this point.
Here's the rub: I don't want the kids to have access to our main calendar on Google. DH & I have finally got it down and coordinated and I don't want them screwing it up or seeing our events. Some of them are private and just between hubs and me, if you know what I mean. I'd like my kids to open up their calendar and only have appts on it that pertain to them and their week/month. And I'd like to be able to see it all - even if it means I see duplicate events on a given day which indicate that the event is on two different calendars. Sort of like the colors of iCal but with the ability for the kids to just see their colors.
Does anyone use a good app that allows you to pick which calendar to assign an event to, even multiple calendars? I tried Fantastical but it doesn't let me assign to different calendars. Any.do is a don't for me.
Would love any feedback on what you've used successfully to organize your family.
Thanks so much! I appreciate your kind and considerate feedback.
Warmly (literally),
Kim in Phx

Right? I know. This just seems utterly ridiculous to me in this day and age. Maybe I'm mistaken but I was under the impression that there has to be an app that does this for people. I mean, how hard can this be? I wonder if I just keep my main calendar and invite my kids to their events. I wonder if that will work? I really don't want to be creating three different calendars copying and pasting events and trying to juggle 4 different calendars. How cool would it be to have everybody assigned their own calendar and then the master calendar can decide who to assign the events to? Like in iCal when you go to assign the calendar, instead of having one option, you could have all the calendars as options. I have two boys to do karate together, one boy who does basketball alone, and one boy who does flag football alone. I'd love to put karate on the schedule and then just assign it to the two calendars of the boys who are taking tae kwon do now. Create one event and then you decide which calendars to list it on.
I'll keep looking to see if anything is out there but I'm not sure that it can cross both iOS and PC platforms.
I really appreciate your info and the time you took.
Thank you so much,
Kim

Suddenly cannot change the calendar for an event in iCal?

When I creart new events, they now automatically are asigned to the top calendar group (as listed on the left side of the iCal screen). When I try to edit the event and asign it to a different calendar, the menu only shows the calendar groups, all in grey, not the individual calendars.
When I go to preferences to investigate what's going on, I only see the calendar groups, all in grey, not the individual calendars.
When I click on the "+" sign in the top-left corner, same problem, only the calendar groups appear, all in grey.
Why can I suddenly not access these calendars when editing an event? Why do they stop showing up in the editing menus?
The calendar still show up in the list menu on the left. I still can add new calendars and new calendars groups. The problem occurs when I try to assign an event to a specific different calendar.

Saw your post Beth over on my thread but I thought I would respond on this one since we're all here.
Hi y'all (^_^)
Sorry to meet under such horrid circumstances, but it's nice to know that I'm not the only one.
I've found out a few things that didn't work so here's the list to save you both some heartache.
No type of re-install fixes is. Not a partial reinstall of the OS where you keep your data or a full wipe.
Checking your permissions or scanning the disk for errors doesn't work either. Creating a dummy user account to see if the problem ports over is a waist of time. If you don't have free support on your machine don't spend money on opening a ticket.
The problem is specific to the Mountain Lion release 10.8.3. The only fix that I have found while I wait on apple is to regress back to 10.8.1 (18.8.2 has the issue also) . . . reverting isn't hard to do with this nifty program I found but nearly impossible for me as I purchased my iMac in February of this year and the firmware came with 10.8.3 in the recovery partition. I've been scowering the net looking for anyone with a 10.8.1 full install dmg (not the update) but everyone either thinks I'm pirating software or doing something impossible so needless to say I'm still running 10.8.3
But all is not as bad off as we think. The problem is only with Calendar (or contacts, whichever place originated the problem as I have found the majority of people on the net who have encountered this did so while in the Contacts program not Calendar). This is a good thing! Because since the problem is unique to the software of origin (Calendar for us) that means we can still use use Calendar and the cross-program functions of Calendar (like creating an even from mail or inviting someone from your contacts) as if nothing is wrong. All programs that read event or calendar files work just great, only Calendar is having the issue. In other words, keep using Calendar like there isn't a problem.
This is a hard pill for me to swallow because I see that there is still a problem and I am itching to fix it. My obsession is only causing me to drink. I have tested this theory by creating a whole new schematic on iCal where I have 6 new Calendar groups all with at least 3 calendars in it and multiple events. (I'm a small business so they're not just dummy events). The great news is everything works like it should as long as I take precautions.
Here are those precautions:
1 - When creating a new event MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE CALENDAR YOU WANT THAT EVEN TO BE IN since you won't be able to use the drop down and choose later because it is greyed out for us.
2 - If you run into this loop where you can't save changes to an event (happened to me a few times when the problem first materilized) just pop the calendar that even is inside to the base calendar list. In other words, take the calendar out of the group, make your changes, then click and drag it back into the group. Even if the event is recurring everything will be fine. Groups only alter the hierarchy of how iCal stores and displays the files, not the files themselves which is why other programs aren't having a problem reading them.
After I made my slew of new groups I tried a few things out to make sure everything was actually still working and it all came out perfect. You can still publish, sync to google, or iPhone, or android and things will display just as you expect them too. Reminders even worked. The problem is ONLY inside iCal and even then only when trying to use that drop down menu.
Long story short, if you can deal with knowing in your gut that things are f.u.b.a.r but keep going about using iCal as if it isn't, then you will survive the long wait (prob 2-3 weeks) until the 10.8.4 patch comes out or worse yet the 10.8.5 major release this summer.
Sorry this is such a long post (and for the misspellings) but sharing is caring so let's get through this together. Plus I don't know about y'all, but I spent 3K on my iMac so if this b!tch ain't gonna work like it's suppose to then it better be because of something major. . . I figured you all might be feeling the same so I should tell you just how major this bug is. And it is major, so much so that people are literally creating programs to disenfiect 10.8.3 out of their machine. If the application developer working with me comes up with a fix I will update the thread. Until then, try not to pull you hair out (~_~)

Calendar "Mail Event" has embarrassing consequences..

I'd be very interested to hear if anyone else has this problem or can repeat it. It's a pretty familiar business use case:
1. I receive a meeting invite from Colleague A (Windows Outlook) that has myself and several other recipients on it. I accept it.
2. I find out another Colleague B (Mac Calendar user) never received the invite, and they ask me to forward it.
3. I open Calendar, find the event, right click and select "Mail Event" and enter Colleague B's email address.
4. Colleague B opens the message, and the attachment, and then closes them. He does nothing else.
5. A new invite is automatically created and sent to *everyone* on the distribution FROM Colleague B, making Colleague B look like he's sent a duplicate invite (and is therefore hijacking the meeting!)
6. Recipients click Accept and now Colleague B receives the accept notifications instead of Colleague A.
This is not inline with the expected behavior which is Colleague B receives an invite request and can Accept that which responds to the meeting owner (Colleague A).
Thoughts?
Is there a workaround / better way to forward a meeting invite?
Mark

I'm having this problem too, and I have all the latest updates installed. Not sure where to go next.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

My calendar keeps deleting new events and if I make a change to an old event it keeps reverting it back to its original time. How do it stop this from happening?

My calendar keeps deleting new events and if I make a change to an old event it keeps reverting it back to its original time. How do it stop this from happening?

How do you update it? Basically what has happened my password was disabled for "security reasons" on sunday (21/10/12), so i tried to reset it, but for some reason i couldnt get into my old email (probably because i havent used it for 2 years), so i read on here i could swap it to a new email that i currently use (which is what i have done) ive swapped everythin over to it (facetime, iCloud etc) but keeps coming up with old email and asking for password

How can I change a calendar event color?

Hi,
Just spent too much time trying to figure this out, but how can I change events colors in my calendar?
I'm not talking about the color of a calendar, this affects all events, but event per event.
And I don't want to set multiple calendars.
One calendar, different events with different colors...
Please don't tell me that such a basic feature is not available when it is in bad amateur freewares...
Thanks for any help
P.S. Please disregard answers like "why don't you want multiple calendars", etc...

Anyone with a solution for that basic feature?

How do I get my calendar to sync on iCloud? I changed a calendar event on my iPhone 4 and it has not changed in Entourage on my MacBook. This is supposed to be automatic, isn't it?

Entourage will not sync with iCloud, not now, probably not ever, time to change.

How to change calendar setting for one event in a repeating series?

Is there any way to change the calendar setting (color) for a single event in a repeating series without changing the color of all events in that series? It seems one event in a repeating series is linked to all other events in that series even if you change the time and/or date first.
The only workaround I've found is to create a new event Identical to the event in question except with the different calendar, then delete the original event. This would be a lot easier if the OS would ask the user if s/he wants to apply the calendar change to all future events or just this one. Or if there was a way to more easily duplicate a single event, that would also save me a lot of time.
Thanks for any responses.

The assignment of colors to calendars on your iPad is pretty simplistic. You can set a color for each calendar and all events (repeating or single instance) placed in a calendar use the calendar's color; however, you cannot set a color for one instance of a calendar event. The workaround you came up with is similar to the method I use. I have a calendar labeled "Priority Events" (Red) that I use for important instances of standing meetings. Oftentimes I leave the event in question in the calendar and simply place a priority event in the same time slot; it clutters up the calendar a bit but helps me visually.

Where is the setting for indicating which calendar i want to use when creating an event?

When I use iCal on my iPhone, I use the + sign and then get a screen that gives me Title, Location, Starts, Ends, Time Zone, Repeat, Alert, URL and Notes. I used to get the option to choose which calendar (personal, work family, etc) that I want to use. That Calendar bar is no longer there. Why not?

When I use the iPhone's Calendar app, I have the following avaialble when creating a new Event.
Title
Location
Starts/Ends
Repeat
Invitees
Alert
Second Alert
Calendar
Availability
URL
Notes

Two days ago, I lost a bunch of my contacts, appointments on my calendar, and my mail is working differently on iPhone! What happened? I didn't change anything! This has happened to other people I know too. How do I get my stuff back?!

How to change color of iCal event, without changing the calendar.

I have my work Exchange calendar imported to iCal. When I want to change the color of an event in iCal, it actually changes the event to a differnet 'calendar' and therefore no longer shows up on my work calendar. This wouldn't be a problem, excpet my secretary can no longer see the event on my work calendar that shows up on her PC. So how can I change the color of 1 event, say to 'Important' or 'Must Attend', without changing the calendar?

Welcome to the discussions, spet.
Right click (Control-click) the calendar you want to change in the left pane and select Get Info. There is a colour selection button to the right of the calendar name..
