Create on my mac calendar

I want to create a calendar "on my mac" but am unable to figure out how to do that. The only options that are available when I click on "new caledar" are on "mobileme or iCloud". Is it possible to create a new calendar "on my mac"?

Here is another method of creating a calendar on your Mac.
1. Disable iCloud by going to Calendar > Preferences > Accounts. It's important just to disable iCloud from Calendar's preferences, not completely sign out of it from within System Preferences.
2. Create a new calendar which name does not conflicts with any calendars you've already got in your iCloud.
3. Enable your iCloud account.
This will create a new calendar on the sidebar under the "On My Mac"

Cannot create "On My Mac" Calendar - Mavericks

I am trying to add an "On My Mac" calendar but the only option I have when selecting File, New Calendar, is to add an iCloud Calendar.
How do I add a calendar for "On My Mac" only?

Open up your calendar,
And select calendars in the top left-hand corner of the screen, then select Birthdays or US Holidays, so that it doesn't put the calendar into one of your accounts. Then right-click (Or control-click, depending on your settings), in the gray area so that you don't select a calendar, and the choose "New Calendar" from the menu, and it should create a new calendar under the "On My Mac"
I hope this helps!

Why is Mac Calendar non-functional in Yosemite?

I installed Yosemite onto my 27" iMac (2009, intel chips, 1gb hard drive, 4 gb RAM) and all **** broke loose. Nothing worked for four days, all anything would do is to freeze up for five minutes to an hour at a time or until I used force quit to get out of there: Calendar, iPhoto, Preview, all native and third party programs. After almost a week of not being able to work, I did a re-install, which is a time consuming process. Since then, most things are working, third party software seems to work, albeit slowly and periodically spinning for minutes on end before settling down. iPhoto seems to be working again, likewise Preview, (I haven't worked my way through everything, I admit. I realize that RAM might be part of the problem (thanks for not telling us that you need 8GB to run the **** OSX) but even with no other programs running, here is what happens with Calendar: It launches. It opens every calendar, several in duplicated form (BIrthdays and US Holidays), it freezes. It acts like it's unfrozen. I click on a calendar that I don't want to view. It freezes. After a while it stops spinning and unchecks. The calendar is still visible. Repeat this for a half dozen background calendars, each time it freezes and after a few minutes it unchecks the box, but the calendar is still visible. I click on an event, it freezes for a while, then everytime I move the cursor onto the calendar it starts spinning again. After numerous attempts, I open the info box for a calendar item, it freezes, five or ten minutes later I look at it again and it seems to be okay, then when I move the cursor over the calendar, it closes the event window ande starts spinning again. I notice that all the duplicates are there and all the calendars I closed that never really closed are now checked as being visible again. After many, many attempts and freezes, at some point a few hours into the process, it lets me type a calendar item and save it (taking maybe 20 minutes through the freezing process). I quit and restart over and again, hoping that will solve the issue. Then after two days of this, I open up the calendar, all the calendars are checked again and my recent postings are missing, edits have been undone, everything is freezing and spinning, duplicates still show, etc., etc. Then I go to icloud and make some changes there. The next time Calendar locks up, I force it to quit, reopen, everything is back to being checked, duplicated, etc., but the item I posted is now on the iMac calendar, so it did sync, but again I can't work on anything because it just goes into spin mode. Almost a week into this (I did the install last Friday, today is Wednesday and I worked on it part of the weekend) I would like to stop using mac Calendar, but what calendar should I use and how do I synchronize it all and I am heavily invested in this program since it has been my main way of tracking my schedule for many years now and my business relies on it. There is no option to reinstall calendar. There are no threads discussing this problem. I have lost almost a week of income because I've spent all my office time every day since the initial install trying to get my computer functional. I am warning everyone I know to NOT upgrade to Yosemite as it is a piece of crap. Can anyone help me figure this out before I start a Facebook page "Mac Calendar is a piece of ****?" I like the program quite a bit all the way through Mavericks but now it only works via iCloud and may or may not be deleting my schedule as I go along. Any ideas? Should I just buy a different calendar program (I need to have this on my computer I can't rely on online programs due to privacy issues.) The desktop version is a clutter of duplicates and calendars that it says are hidden, and I go back to iCloud, which won't let me copy and paste or anything and I don't like that interface but at least it (seems to) syncs with my mac but not always with my iphone, Thanks. I am really hating this experience.

Back up all data. If you have iCloud calendars, archive them by following the instructions on this page under the heading "Downloading a calendar from iCloud.com." All you need is a web browser, not the Calendar application. Do the same with any other network calendars you have, if possible.
Before taking each of these steps, quit (force quit if necessary) the application. After taking the step, relaunch and test. When the problem is resolved (or when you complete Step 3 without resolving it), stop and close the Library folder.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. From the folder that opens, move these items (some may not exist) to the Trash, leaving the Library folder open:
          Calendars/Calendar Cache
          Calendars/Calendar Cache-shm
          Calendars/Calendar Cache-wal
Step 2
Move these files from the Library folder to the Desktop (again, some may not exist):
          Containers/com.apple.CalendarAgent (and any others with a name beginning in "com.apple.Calendar")
          Containers/com.apple.iCal (and any others with a name beginning in "com.apple.iCal")
          Preferences/com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
If the problem is resolved, you may be able to put back some of the items you moved in this step, relaunching and testing after each one. Eventually you may find the one that caused the problem; delete it. Recreate your settings as necessary.
If the problem still isn't solved, put back each of the items you moved in this step, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. You don't have to put back the files you moved in Step 1.
Step 3
Move this folder to the Desktop:
          Calendars
Note: you're not moving the Calendars application; you're moving a folder named "Calendars". If there's no change, put the folder back where it was.
If the problem is resolved after you move the Calendars folder, the event database is corrupt. You have these choices:
          Restore the folder from a Time Machine snapshot or other backup that predates the corruption.
          Use a third-party application such as Calendar Cleaner to try to repair the database.
For network calendar accounts, such as iCloud, all you should need to do is re-enter them in the preferences. For subscribed calendars, you only need to re-subscribe.

How can i transfer a iphoto book created on one mac to another mac.

how can i transfer an iphoto book created on one mac to another mac. i am aware of pdf saving but it doesn't help! need to see the iphoto book on other mac.
and how can i view in slide-show double pages instead of single pages?
anybody has an idea?

Stephan:
If you want to be able to view the book with iPhoto on the other Mac you'll have to copy the library containing the book to the other Mac. You won't be able to import that book into the other library.
Make a duplicate copy of the library containing the book and rename the folder "Book Library". Open it with iPhoto and delete all of the files that are not in the book. Then copy the Book Library folder to the other Mac and open. You can also burn the Book Library folder to a CD as a way to archive the book in case you decide to order another copy at a later date. I create a separate library for each book I create and order and archive it to CD when I've ordered.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Create Multiple and Independent Calendars?

ML 10.8.5, Calendar 6.0, running on a mid-2010 MBP (2.4/4/320). iCloud not used; all the data is here on the desktop, none is updated or synched to or from the cloud.
I have one calendar ("DB's Calendar") with all my events, and would like to create a separate calendar to organize the dog's medications. Creating the calendar is easy (⌥-⌘-N, or File > New Calendar). However, when I create an event in that new calendar (⌘ - N, or File > New Event), the new calendar is immediately populated by all the events from DB's Calendar. This occurs even when the calendar list's checkbox by "DB's Calendar" is unchecked.
Seems like the app should be able to manage (and selectively display or print) two different calendars. The only workaround I can imagine is to export all the data from DB's Calendar, delete DB's calendar, create the dog's calendar and print it, delete the dog's calendar, then re-create DB's Calendar and import the data.
Am I missing something completely obvious?
Thanks!

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Restore on my mac calendar

I am using a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.1. I have accidentally deleted "on my mac" calendar from Ical with which Outlook for Mac syncs. That calendar with the work and personal categories is gone. It's not hidden, it's gone. How can I restore it?

Apple doesn't make it easy to create an "On My Mac" calendar if you synchronize your existing calendars with iCloud or another network service.
In the toolbar of the Calendar window, click the Calendars button on the left to show the calendar list in a sidebar, if it's not already showing. You should see a category with the heading Other, and beneath it you may see a calendar named Birthdays. If there's nothing under Other, hover the cursor over the heading and click Show. If there's still no Birthdayscalendar, select from the menu bar
Calendar ▹ Preferences... ▹ General ▹ Show Birthdays calendar
Close the preferences dialog.
Select the Birthdays calendar in the sidebar. Now right-click or control-click in the empty gray area below the calendar list. From the popup menu, select New Calendar. A calendar named Untitled will be created in the On My Mac category. You can rename it and import events into it, or you can create other "On My Mac" calendars.

New On My Mac calendar in iCal

Hi, I just upgraded to OSX 10.9 and can no longer find where to create a new iCal calendar On My Mac. I only have the option to create one on iCal.

Okay, upgrading to Mavericks really screwed up my iCal and I've been on Apple Tech Support all night and it's still not finished. BUT to add an On My Mac calendar (that Mavericks erased when upgrading) back:
log Calenders out of iCloud by deselecting the check box in iCloud preferences
disable all shared Google Cal calendars
open iCal
File >> New Cal >> On My Mac

Deleting "On My Mac" calendars

I asked this a month ago but got no answers so I thought I'd give it another shot. When iCal upgraded,, I was asked if I wante dto creat a separate set of Calendars for just On My Mac. Initially I thought, OK, why not? But in reality, I need my entries to sync across 4 computers and when i enter events on my iPhone (which is usually the case), they show up only on my "On My Mac" calendars, and not on my Mobile Me/Cloud Calendars. It's a hassle to remember what I entered and then change it when I get to my desktop. I just want one set of Calendars, which is the ones that are shared across the Cloud. I'm sure it's something easy, but I can't figure it out on my own. Thanks in advance!

From the MobileMe Support section on setting up iCal beta on MobileMe:
NOTE: If you were previously syncing with MobileMe Calendar, the calendars you were syncing are moved from On My Mac to your MobileMe calendars. If you see duplicated calendar events in iCal, deselect the On My Mac calendars in the iCal window to hide them.
So it looks like after setting up the iCAl Beta the On My Mac calendar is truly "On My Mac". Sp what I did was deselect all the events in On My Mac (the duplicates went away), hid the events under On My Mac and entered all new events in the @me.com calendar. Everything is syncing fine on my iMac, Macbook Pro and iPad and the duplicates are gone.

Is there a way to create three different physical calendars in ical so that I can get a fiscal view of the calendars?

Is there a way to create three physically different calendars in iCal so that I can view the calendar and events from a fical point of view?

iCal just shows the calendars you have created in your account(s). So if you are using iCloud just log into your iCloud account in a web browser and make as many new calendars as you wish to have. Then enable those in iCal.
If you use Google accounts or something else for the calendars, then create them as needed, and enable them in iCal.
I have several separate calendars all displayed in iCal - a couple linked through my Gmail accounts, and one through my iCloud account. Each uses a different default item color so they are distinct in iCal.

How do i create/combine my mac id with my iPhone id?

i wanted to download an app form app store and was asked for my id.. apperntly my iPhone id is limited to my country's app store and my email is in use for that id... how do i create/combine my mac id with my iPhone id so i can download apps from appstore?

The Apple ID for the iTunes stores and for the Mac App Store are the same account. You can only buy from the stores in the countries in which you have the qualifications. You must have a bank card in that country and the bank card must have a valid billing address in that country. Creating more than one Apple ID is a bad idea and will not help you get around the requirements.

How do I sync 'on my mac' calendar in ical with icloud or an alternative for my iphone?

I'm using Outlook 2011 with 2 IMAP email addresses, a business email and a gmail address. The only reason I'm using Outlook instead of Mail, Address Book and iCal is because there were issues with me receiving meeting invites from business colleagues. Anyway, now I'm using Outlook, my contacts & calendar are no longer synchronising with my iPhone (4). I'm using the Outlook synch services to copy the Contact info to Address Book and the calendar info to iCal. BUT, the calendar in iCal is 'On My Mac' and doesnt get picked up by iCloud.
Can anyone help with simple suggestions for a wireless solution for keeping Outlook calendar in synch with my phone? Would upgrading my email account to Exchange be a solution?

Thanks Winston. I'm aware that the 'on my mac' calendar doesn't get picked up by iCloud. I'm wondering whether anyone can help with the best alternative solution for synchronisation of phone and Outlook.

How do I get events and changes created on my IOS Calendar to show up on iCal using iCloud?

Using iCloud I can sync my events from iCal right to my IPod Touch. This is great except for the fact that I rarely create events on iCal. I usually create events using the Calendar app on my IPod Touch because I always have it handy and I feel that has a much more intuitive UI. I was really excited about iCloud being able to sync my events from my IPod to iCal but it doesn't seem to be working. When I create events on iCal they sync to my Calendar right away, but when I create an event on my IPod it doesn't show up on iCal. The same is true for changes made on my IPod to events synced from iCal. the changes don't show up in iCal at all. HELP PLEASE!

The operating system should read 10.8 - sorry...

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the fonts?

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the original fonts? An AI file was created with an image and text on a MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, the text fonts were not the same as originally created. Also, the same AI file was saved to PDF on the MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, there wasn't anything visible. Anyone have any ideas?

Are you using the save version of Illustrator on both Mac and PC? If so, and you have the same fonts installed on both machines you should be able to open it without any problems. You may need to tell it which fonts to assign, they are not always named the same. If you don't need to edit the text, you could convert the text to outline and eliminate the need for fonts.
