How do I add events to my calendar on iPad mini

The + sign on my calendar is greyed out so I can't add an event. I've tried asking Siri to add an event but when I get to the end and press confirm he says he can't do this but can't tell me why. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it?  I have the iPad mini

Hi TinyTemper,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're not able to add events to Calendar, try these troubleshooting steps first:
If you're using iOS 7, quit and restart the Calendar app:
Press the Home button twice to see preview screens of the apps you have open.
Find the Calendar preview screen and swipe it up and out of preview to quit the application.
Tap the Home button to return to your Home screen.
Wait a minute before reopening the Calendar app.
Restart your iOS device: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears, then drag the slider. After the device turns off, turn it back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • How does one add events to the calendar after the app is upgraded to ios5?

    after upgrading to ios5 my calender no longer allows input of new events

    Select your email under Account, tap Edit at the top then New Mailbox at the bottom. This will only work if you have an IMAP email account.

    Its likely there but he pop up page isn't resizing properly.
    Try a reset: Simulaneously hold down the On and Home buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it should appear. When shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on.

    "b) perhaps I've got some kind of virus on mine?"
    I mean, " perhaps I've got some kind of virus on mine, and I've passed it on to hers?"

    The + tab to add events in my Calendar has disappeared!  How do I add events? Siri can't even add them for me...

    Go to Setting, select and set up iCloud, then turn on Calendar option. It should work after this is done. Hope this helps.

  • How do I add Holidays to my Calendar Server?

    How do I add Holidays to my Calendar Server?
    <p>
    Adding Holidays to your Calendar Server is done via the Netscape
    Calendar Client by going to the Edit|Holidays pull-down menu.
    This option can only be accessed by those users who have been given
    the admin rights to add holidays.
    If you wanted to give "John Smith" admin rights to add holidays on
    a Calendar Server with a node id of 10000, you would do the
    following:
    o Login as 'root' or 'unison' to your Calendar Server.
    o Change directories to /users/unison/bin.
    o Run the command:
    uniadmrights -e "S=Smith/G=Bob" -hday -n 10000
    Now the user John Smith can add/delete/modify holidays on the
    Calendar Server.

    Include birthday in your contacts using the Contacts app.  Then in Calendar go to the list of calendars (touch the red Calendars at the mid bottom of the screen), scroll down until you find the Birthday calendar, and touch it so that it has a tick mark beside it.  Not only will the birthday show up every year, it will even tell you how old they are!

  • After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group.  When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category.

    After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group.  When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category. A message pops up that says: "You can't add events or to do items to a calendar group. Select an individual calendar in the calendar list, then create your events or to do items." Any help here would be greatly appreciated! I would like to either retrieve the old information or find a way to add the category back in to start over. Thanks in advance!

  • Cannot add events to my calendar

    Cannot add events to my calendar no plus sign button like manual shows

    Just spoke with a Senior Tech at Apple Support who solved the problem, for me at least, and it involved disabling Calendar under my Gmail account.
    Settings -> Mail, Contact, Calendars -> Accounts.
    One of my accounts is Gmail.
    Gmail -> Mail, Calendars, Notes. Mine were all turned 'ON'
    Turn OFF Calendars.
    Voila.
    Go back to Home->Calendar-> and the Plus + sign is there and editing is fine!!!!!

  • Unable to add events to my calendar

    After updating to ios5, I can't add events to my calendar.  The + sign is missing from the top of the screen.  Any ideas?

    I have the same problem, but none of the answers worked for me. When I enable the iCloud calendar, the settings app crashes. I have restarted the iPhone a lot of times but it doesn't work. Probably I will reinstall the IOS to see if it works.

  • Suddenly I can no longer add events to my calendar osuddr add reminders. The   symbol is brayed out and won't allow me to add anything???

    Suddenly I can no longer add events to my calendar or new reminders. The + is grayed out and won't allow any new additions???

    I had the the same problem albeit with an m4v (same hardware and OS rev too!, iTunes 10.6.3). I was able to add the movie to a new library per Limnos' suggestion here, indicating that iTunes wasn't totally busted. However, I was also able to see the movie in the Recently Added smart playlist (another hat tip to Limnos), although it still did not appear in the Movies section of my iTunes library. (It was also in the iTunes Library.xml file.)
    So I called AppleCare, and they directed me to move the file from the external drive where it was living, into the /Users/<Your Name Here>/Movies directory, and to "Add to Library" (Command-O) from that location. Sure enough (and much to my surprise), it showed up immediately (duplicated, actually) in the Movies section of my iTunes library. Subsequent additions to my Library have not misbehaved similiarly.

    Are you sure .mov files worked on the iPhone without a third part player? I'm just not sure...
    Try these instructions from Apple:
    Convert a video to work with iPhone:  Select the video in your iTunes library and choose Advanced > “Create iPod or iPhone Version.” Then add the converted video to iPhone.

    I'm afraid you've posted in the wrong place. This is a technical forum around a particular product called 'SharePoint'. This does talk to Exchange and Outlook in places but we don't specialised in either of those. You should have a look for one of the
