Editing events in Ical

I saw that a similar question was posted, but no reply received, so here we go...
I cannot right click and edit the information I put into my ICal - not an invitation, an event I set up myself (any, in fact). Ical version 3.0.5.
Any help out there? I want to set an alarm or two in some events, as I always managed to do in teh recent past.
Tks
Doug

Doug,
...as I always managed to do in the recent past.
If you are referring to the Tiger version of iCal, right-click will not directly open an edit window in the Leopard version of iCal. The contextual menu which is available only presents the following choices:
Get Info (Makes the Edit selection available)
Cut
Copy
Paste
Duplicate
Calendar (Assignment of desired calendar)
Make All Day Event
Stop Recurrence
Mail Event
The following keyboard shortcuts may also be helpful for you when creating or editing a new event:

(⌘ + E) opens the edit window

(⌘ + I) opens the info window

(esc) closes either window

  • Unable to edit events in iCal

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

    For the last 2 days, I have been having the same problem. I cannot edit ical events on my iphone, specifically those who habe been sync-ed to & from my MacOS (under Mountain lion 10.8) Calendar.
    I have reset my sync history on the Mac (running the reset.pl script), but to no effect.
    Please help.

  • Help: I cannot see or edit events in iCal.  What to do?

    Please help. I cannot open the event editor to change or see contents of an event. I am using an Intel MacBook, iCal, and The Missing Sync for Palm with a Palm Centro. The events show fine on my Centro, but I cannot double-click the events on iCal on my MacBook in order to see or edit the attached notes. Maybe an unrelated problem is that times of events in iCal are not the same on my Centro (some are, some are not). I cannot seem to determine what happened to the events as shown on my MacBook. Any ideas?

    I talked to AppleCare support earlier today and they guided me to the solution. Seems like my iCal file had became corrupted for some reason (iCal or Palm Centro or Missing Sync to blame?--who knows). Anyway, the solution was to remove the file "com.apple.iCal.plist" Once that was done, iCal recreated the file after I reopened iCal and all was well. We'll see how long this fix lasts -- I hope forever.

  • Edit events in iCal on Wiki calendar

    I know that it's by default not supported, the editing of events from the Wiki calendar in iCal, but still I wanna know if there's a work around.
    Does anybody know if there's a work around, coding-wise, programming-wise or whatever-wise, to be able to edit events from the Wiki calendar in iCal?
    Now I get a message every time I wanna edit an event that i can't edit it from iCal. But I want other people who sign up to the calendar also to be able to edit the events from their own calendar program.

    Hello there skier3,
    You should be able to edit an event in the Calendars app by tapping the event in quuestion and then tapping edit shown here:
    iCloud: Using iCloud Calendars with Calendar and iCal
    Tap the event to display event details, including the name of the calendar that contains the event:

  • 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?

  • ICal crashes when I try to edit events

    I cannot edit events in iCal. When I double click on the event iCal crashes instantly. I have to edit my events with my iPhone or iPad.
    How can I solve the problem?  Brand new iMac with Mountain Lion...A bug I suppose?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    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. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    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 this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Anyone else unable to edit gCal events via iCal?

    Ok, I can create events in iCal for a gCal and it will update universally across all devices (iMac, iPhone, iPadm, and on gCal). Not having any issues with this part of syncing. All events are present on all devices as well. The issue I seem to be running into is editing those events, specifically the notes section. I like to add in assignments that are due in the Notes section and it seems recently that this is very hit or miss and more on the miss end. As of today, 3/19 I haven't been able to succesfully edit the Notes of any of my current events. Very frustrating to say the least. Any insight into this would be much appreciated.

    For the last few weeks, I'd been having problems with my gCal/iCal sync, including editing events in iCal.  I gave up and moved everything back to iCal and I am now using iCloud.  In my search for an answer, I came across a great read:  http://www.busymac.com/download/tco-busycal.pdf
    It was written for a third party app but has a lot of good information in it.
    Hope that helps,

  • Can't edit Google Calendar events in iCal

    I am using Google Calendar's new CalDAV sync system and their "Calaboration" tool to sync my iCal (version 3.0.5, and I'm using Mac OS 10.5.2) with my Google Calendars, per the instructions on this page:
    http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99358#ical
    It seems to work ok in that I can now see my google calendar events in iCal. I can also add an event to that calendar in iCal, and it will sync to my google calendar. However, I can't seem to edit an event in iCal that was created on the Google Calendar web page. That is, all my events that I created in Google Calendar do indeed appear in iCal, but I can't edit them in iCal. I can edit events that I create for that calendar in iCal, but not ones I created in google calendar. Not a huge deal, but I was wondering if this is how it is supposed to work, because it seems a tad inconvenient.
    (I do have my e-mail address in my address book "me" card, so that's not the problem.)

    Yeah, I tried deleting the calendars in iCal and re-synching to them via Calaboration, but the same problem persisted.
    I did find the solution after a bit of experimenting, though. To solve it, I basically created a new calendar on Google Calendar, imported all my events from my old google calendar into it, then used Calaboration to sync iCal to the new Google calendar, and now I can edit events in iCal and GCal without problems. I don't actually know what the problem WAS, but this seems to have solved it. Maybe I made my original Google Calendar too long ago and it had some old bad settings I couldn't see? I dunno, but it doesn't matter now.
    For those who might have this same problem, here's how I transferred my old Google Calendar events into a new Google Calendar without losing anything: (You actually don't need to delete your old Google Calendar at all if you don't want to, so there's no reason to worry about losing your events.)
    1. In GCal, click the "settings" link at the top right of the web page. Then select the "Calendars" tab. Click the "Export My Calendars" link, which should be under your list of calendars, next to the cancel button. This will download a .zip file to your computer, containing all of your google calendars as individual .ics files. Go ahead and unzip them so that the .ics file for the calendar you want to duplicate is sitting in a folder somewhere on your computer.
    2. Now In GCal, click on the "Create" link on the lower righthand side of the "My Calendars" box, which is on the lefthand side of the screen.
    3. Create a new blank calendar and name it whatever you want. This is the blank calendar into which you will import your old calendar's events.
    4. Now, in GCal, click "Add" at the bottom right of the "Other Calendars" box, which is under the "My Calendars" box on the left side of the web page.
    5. Select "Import Calendar".
    6. Click "Choose File" and browse to the .ics file you want to duplicate on your computer.
    7. In the "Choose Calendar" pull-down menu, select the new, blank calendar you made in step 3.
    8. Click Import. This may take a few minutes, depending on the number of events you have in your .ics calendar file.
    9. Once it's done, look at the calendar to make sure your events all came into your new Google Calendar ok. It should look exactly like the original google calendar, but it will be a different color.
    10. NOW, use Calaboration to sync your iCal to the New Calendar you just made in Google Calendar.
    11. Once it's done synching, you should be able to edit events in the calendar in iCal.

  • I no longer am able to edit an event in ical on the iphone. When I click on the event I can read it but there is not edit button on the screen?

    I am not able to edit an event on Ical on my Iphone 4. I can view the event but there is no edit button available on the screen.

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
    Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
    1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
    2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
    3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
    4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
    5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
    6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • How can I edit all events in iCal?

    Hello,
    is it possible to edit all events in iCal at once or do I have to edit each event itself?
    I want to add a reminder to all events!
    Thanks for your help!
    Dirk

    Try typing "." without the exclamation points in the iCal search window. Then simply highlight all the entries > Edit/Delete

  • 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.

  • Not able to edit event names in iCal

    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I am not able to edit event names in iCal once they are created. I am able to edit all other items in the event, but not name. I have tried double clicking, using the inspector, etc. to no avail. Any ideas?

    I tried getting rid of duplicates in FontBook. I tried deleteing the iCal.plist file and restarting my mac. Nothing works. I can not edit any entry in any way except to drag it to a new place. I also can't open iCal Preferences. I have iCal 4.0.1 - is that the current version?

  • Can't edit new event in ical since snow loepard

    I'm not realy good in english but i make my best, so sorry for bizzare contents. 2 days ago i install snow loepard on the macbook of my girlfriend and now some applications have problems. in ical we can't edit events... We c'ant create a new event but we can't change de title. The line apears block. It's weard because we can change the hour or other things, but not the title... somebody have the same problem? i look on the forum and i see nothing like this or answer for resolve the problem...

    Hello,
    I fixed the problem. On another thread about a related iCal problem, someone thought there was a font issue causing the problem.
    First, I removed iCal from the dock.
    Second, I opened Macintosh HD, then opened Applications, then opened Font Book.
    Third, in the Font Book window I selected All Fonts, and from the menu I selected "Select Duplicate Fonts."
    Fourth, in the Font Book window, rather than just disabling the duplicate fonts, I moved all the duplicate fonts one by one to the Trash.
    Fifth, I emptied the Trash and restarted the computer.
    Sixth, I opened iCal from the Applications list (and selected "Keep in Dock").
    Now, the iCal is working fine and I'm able to edit the event title.
