Events stuck on iPad, iCal reopens autmatically

Hi, I'm using the latest IOS on an iPad and an iPhone and 10.7.5 on my laptop and iMac but for some reason, some events in iCal on the iPad stay stuck and I can't delete them. I even went to see if they were on iCloud and couldn't dfind them, same for the iPhone, so I suppose the problem is on the iPad.
The other issue is iCal reopening on my laptop and iMac after I closed it. It "Updates" and if I don't wait almost a minute after and close it, it reopens automatically. Weird no?
Can anyone help with this? Thanks, Nicolas

First since your iMac is running OS 10.7.5, you have an Intel-based iMac, and yu posted this thread in a forum for PowerPC (pre-Intel-Based) iMacs. So you might not get many responses.
I have one suggestion, and I'm not sure it will help, but try this and see if it helps.
Open your System Preferences. Clcik on Date and Time, make sure you have the correct time zone setting, the click the open lock in the bottom leftof the window, to lock the settings from being changed. To open the lock later, you'll need totype in your system password.
I doubt this the actual correct fix for your problem, but it might help in the mean time.
Good luck.

Bug? My events on the iPad iCal app aren't shown in the year view if they are more than two years in the future.

My events on the iPad iCal app aren't shown in the year view if they are more than two years in the future even though I can see them on the month, week and day view. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I've tried it all. I called the apple support and they checked on their iPads. They all did the same and they couldn't help me. They suggested trying this way. I'd like to be able to plan a few years ahead and the year view would make thing so easy!
Is this a bug?

Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Is it possible to create floating events on the iPad iCal?

iPad's ical recognizes floating events transferred from a desktop, but it does not allow create floating events on the iPad iCal.
The only way is to create those events in the default time zone calendar, which is very confusing,

This might work. Create a whole lot of floating events in iCal on your laptop / desktop and put them at the end of your day. You can do this quickly by creating one event in iCal that is floating and then copying it. You do that by dragging the event with your finger on the Option Key. This gives you floating events in your iCal which you are not using yet. Then when you want to use your iPad just drag one of these events from the end of the day to where you want it and use it.
It should work. I tested it just now on my iPad and laptop and it worked perfectly. I use Lion as an operating system. I don't know for Leopard. I use a weekly view. On Lion you cannot drag from the end of one week into the next. This has been corrected in Lion. I use ONLY floating events as I travel a LOT. It is the best way for me.
For creating floating events on my laptop I don't create new events, I always copy an existing event. This way all new events are automatically floating. It took a little while to get used to it. Now it is second nature to me. Since many events are the same as past events, it also saves time not typing in the event details.
For example I might schedule playing badminton at irregular times in a week. I simply create one event and then drag a copy to the new event's locaiton. It is already floating and named correctly. Otherwise I drag a different event and just rename it.
This does not work on the iPhone / iPad / iPod as you cannot copy events. That is why you need to create extra floating events on your laptop at the end of the day so that you can drag them down when you want to use them.

On iPad go to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates.

Events created on iPad and/or iPhone won't show up in iCal

Events created on iPad and/or iPhone won't show up in iCal. I do not use Mobile Me, or Google (I learned that one the hard way). I am getting tired of creating events (and contacts) and then having to remember to go back on my Macbook and create them all over again. Any ideas?

Did you try these?...

Did you plug directly into the computer and not a hub? Try different USB ports.

ICal events entered on iPad don't show up on other computers

Using Mobile Me I sync calendar and contacts on three computers. I got an iPad and now when I enter an event on the iPad it does not show up on any of the calendars on the computers. Also, the one event will replicate itself up to 16 times on my iPad. This renders the iPad virtually useless for entering info into the calendar. Anyone else experiencing anything similar?
I have unauthorized each computer and reset the sync data with all devices, but the same results occur.

Are you using the MobileMe calendar beta?

No events in iPAD iCAL

I cannot add an event in my iPAD. Each time a get an adisory that, "No calendar has been set and that event does not belong to that event store". I have noted that all my calendars have a check mark.

Which calendar view when selecting an event you want to edit - monthly, weekly, daily, or list?

Single MobileMe Event not syncing to iCal on my Mac

I'm pretty sure this is not the first time I've had this problem but it has arisen again.
I have a single event, which I created on either my iPad or my iPhone last Friday. This event has synced to the other device (iPhone or iPad) and to MobileMe (http://www.me.com/calendar). However, it is not showing up in iCal on my MacBook Pro.
On my MBP, I deleted the MobileMe (CalDAV) calendar from iCal and then recreated the account. The missing calendar event is still missing though all the other evens appear to be there!
If I edit the event on my iPad, it still does not show up on my MBP though the other devices get the update (e.g. adding a Location).
If I create a new calendar event on my iPad, the new event does show up but the missing event remains missing.
I'm running OS X 10.7.1 (Lion).
Any suggestions on
why this is happening,
how to fix it (other than just deleting and recreating), and
more importantly, how to prevent it from happening in the future?
Thanks!

Here's a fix:
1. Open iCal and Export all your calendars to .ICS files (example, home.ics, birthdays.ics, etc.), save it on your desktop. Quit iCal.
2. Delete the folder User/Library/Calendars and all contents inside
3. Open iCal, import all your exported .ICS from above.
4. Sync your iPhone.
Fixed it on 2 iPhones that have iCal sync issues with Leopard 10.5.1!

Events entered into Ipad Cal will not sync to other mac.

All in the title: I enter events directly on ipad, they never synch to me.com, and thus not on other macs.
What do I do ??

Thanks for the input. Did ensure both were set the same. They weren't. Synced settings, restarted iCal and iPhone. Still only syncing in one direction. Any other suggestions? Thanks again.

How does my iPad iCal get on my Mac?

When I sync my iPad and its calendars through iTunes, it is only a one-way transfer. I do not have MobileMe because I cannot afford the program. When I create events on my iPad, how do I transfer those to my iCal on my Mac? Is the only way through MobileMe? Thanks.

Greetings Mike,
Syncing an iPad with a Mac using iTunes should go both ways (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386).
You say its a one-way transfer meaning what exactly? What happens when you sync your calendars?
Troubleshooting:
1.) Backup all your data:
Backup your iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
3.) Plug in the iPhone and attempt a sync.
If that does not resolve the issue let me know and I'll give you a different route.
Hope that helps.

Event List view in iCal?

I would love to have an Event List view in iCal like I do on the calendar on my iPhone. Is there such a thing? The particular reason for wanting it (this time) is that one of the calendars in the ON MY MAC list has a number in a oval to the right.
I believe this is trying to tell me that there is a new event that I need to do something about. Problem is, I don't know where to find it.

ecernek,
There is no event list option on iCal like the one on the iPhone.
That number means that you have an event invitation. Use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification.

Event listing shortened in iCal

When I enter some events in iCal they do not appear in their entirety in the calendar. Some events use two or three lines, some cut off in only one line. The only solution I have found is to keep changing the 'name' of the event until I hit on one that does not cut off. Surely there is another solution! Any ideas?

When I get an ICS from Outlook that is a multi-day event it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS.

When I get an ICS from Outlook Express (Office is PC based) that is a multi-day event, it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS. I have to delete it and send a "decline notice" to the sender and re-enter it so I can put in multiple day events. Help!

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

Adding all day events using applescript to ical

Hey all. I am new to using applescript. Thanks to some top users i have been able to get excel events file transfered into ical.
I need help with the applescript for changing these events from time duration to all day.
tried
set the start time to 00:00 and end time to 24:00 and
set all-day to true
any help would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks.

I have the exact same problem. I have entered birthdays for people I know starting with the year of their birth and never ending, an all-day event. They now don't show in 2007, but there is a detached event on January 1, 2000. When I delete that event and all subsequent versions of it, the initial event now ends in 2006 or 2007, and I have to set the repeat to end Never again. I fixed all the ones from February that showed up. Now I notice that a huge amount of the other birthdays (all day events) that I have entered are doing it now, and we are talking well over 40 of them. I don't understand why it keeps creating these detached events. I also publish my calendars, if that makes any difference.

Moving event with mouse in iCal gives me problems on Nokia N96

When I move an item (event) with mouse in iCal, and then iSync to my Nokia N96, I get multiple events in the Nokia Calendar. As if I copy-pasted the item too many times.
The multiple events are on the hours, on which I have dragged around the event.
Somebody having similar issues?

i've been having the same prob as u with my N96 however after i reverted back to factory settings and it's behaving for the time being (touchwood) i've read on posts here that people r having the same prob with their 2nd even 3rd phones so unless u r planning to change ur's for a diff model i'm not sure how helpful replacing the phone will be. I along with many others 'am sure r waiting for the new firmware to come out which hopefully will sort out most of the stability issues. i contacted Nokia and they advised me to wait till the firmware update as well.
i hope this helps.
