How to edit an event?

When I open an event, or select one and hit the Edit button, I get a read-only view of said event. How do I *edit* one?
Most fields are just labels, non-editable. The only field that appears to be editable is the description, but it turns out to be readonly. So nothing is editable, and there's no Save & Close button or anything like that. What should I do?
The calendar in question is a CalDAV one from a Zimbra server. It's NOT set to read only, as one might expect. "Offline support" is not ticked either, but no matter: I'm online.
I'm using Thunderbird 31.3, Lightning 3.3.1, Windows 7.

I'm doing this within Thunderbird. It'd be silly to ask a question here if I'd be have a problem with the website on the Zimbra server, now wouldn't it...
When I right-click, I have these options:
* Open
* New Event
* New Task
* Cut
* Copy
* Paste
* Convert To >
* Delete Event
* Attendance >
When I choose Open, I get an intermaediate window asking me to open "just this occurence" or "all occurrences". I choose the latter, because that's what I want to edit. Then, I get a window that has nothing but uneditable fields except for Reply and Reminder (both dropdowns); the rest is just labels and the description is a readonly text field.
This window is a small rectangular window that doesn't even remember its own position and size when I change it. And it opens on the wrong monitor. Seems like a rush-job to me, so I must be looking at a window that "slipped through" and I'm somehow the lucky guy who gets to see it?...
Please note that when I open an e-mail, everything is editable as you'd expect. So my Thunderbird doesn't look like it's broken. Also, I'm having this problem not for a single event, but for all events that I can find in my calendar.

How to edit Calendar events?

If i am invited to an event i get an email with the .ics attachment. I add it to my calender and then accept the invite.
If the times are then changed i get another email with the new times on the email and a new .ics attachment.
The new .ics attachment on the email update still has the old times on it (and if the times were new i still cannot do anything with the attachment - there are no options to put it in my calendar).
I cannot edit the original calendar event to the new times.
I cannot delete the old event without declining it first.
Even if i could delete the old event with the old times i then have to make my own calendar event (which then doesn't link in with the organisers event and doesn't show my attendance).
Why does my calender event not update automatically once the revised times have been emailed to me?
I have "shared calendar alerts" enabled but all it does is send me an email about modifications, i cannot edit the actual event anywhere.
Am i doing something wrong? have i missed something?
Thanks

You don't say what it is you want to change, but if you simply want to consolidate:
Select a calendar in the list, choose file>export.
Select file>import, choose the file, and select the destination calendar. (The destination calendar can be one which you sync with Google Calendar.)
When you're happy all is where you want it, delete the original calendars.
As always, take a backup before you start - just in case!

Can't edit any event, no event editor

It used to be that i could double click on an event to edit it. Right now, iCal is sending me reminders to do something that i no longer need. I want to cancel the reminders (i don't want to delete the event because i'll use it later). I want to get the pop up menu with all choices on it. I want to be able to edit the event. When i tried to do this yesterday, i found that nothing happens when i double click on the event, and when i select the event and go to the Edit menu and choose "edit event," nothing happens. I'm wondering if i accidentally clicked on some kind of finder setting or something that has disabled event editing? How do i get that little pop up menu with all the editing choices on it that i used to get?
Also, if i create a new event by double clicking in the date field in month view (for example), it creates an event called 'new event." But it will not let me name the event, much less have any other editing options. A google search informed me that i can select the event and hit return in order to be able to name the event but i can't do anything else. If i create the new event by double clicking on a day while in month view, when i look at the event in day view, it has defaulted to 1pm as the time for the event. Every time. If i create another event in month view on that same day, it will add another 1pm event.
What happened? I used to be able to easily create events with various characteristics by simply double clicking. What am i missing? I tried iCal help, how to edit an event. It just tells me to select things in the Event editor. But i can't get an event editor to open up. That's what i want, the event editor. How do i access it? Maybe something happened the last time i updated the system?

Ok,
I figured it out.
The "Formula Editor" modal window was being hidden off of the left hand side of my screen.

How do I edit recurring event in iCal

How do I edit an event in iCal on the iPhone 3G?

I wan´t to edit the time on an event in Calendar on iPhone. Does anyone know how to do that?
Kind regards, Mikkel

Mikkel,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I own a first generation iPhone, and am able edit an event by tapping the event and then tapping the "Edit" button, which allows access for changing the details of the event.
If that procedure is not the same for your 3G iPhone, perhaps you can get a better answer in the iPhone Forum : Mail, Contacts and Calendar.

How do i get that little pop up menu with all the editing choices on it that i used to get? Is there a way to get the editing box to pop up as I make a new event instead of editing an event after i just made it ??????

Michal,
iCal Help is a good place to start. Here are a couple of examples:

Group Web-Calendar, how does one edit an event's 'Notes'?

I have an OSX Leopard server hosting several Group Calendars. One question I keep getting is how to edit the 'Notes' section of a web event.
When you hover over an event in the Web Calendar, the last field of information presented is 'Notes'. Clicking on the event however does not present 'Notes' as an editable field.
Is there any way to add text there, if not, what is it's purpose?

Go to the calendar event page. You can do this by clicking on the calendar event from the search results or in the 'Upcoming Events' category on the Wiki home page (if it's there). You can then edit that event to add the 'Notes'.
It appears that if you leave the 'Location' field blank, the note added populates that field instead of the 'Notes' field. I suspect this is a bug. But if the 'Location' field has a value, then the information appears in the 'Notes' field.

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!

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

How can I unsubscribe from an event or edit an event that I am subscribed to in iCal?

I just added an event from the website last.fm and iCal went through this list of new tasks before it could be added, and now I am subscribed to this event. However, I wasn't looking to create a new "calendar," which is what seems to have happened, and I would like to edit the event to add it to an existing "calendar," but iCal says I cannot edit nor remove events that I am subscribe to. Does anyone know a trick or loophole to undo the subscription??

Tell me your solution
I tried several things, but no possibility to unsubscribe
Thanks

How do I edit an event's date to be next year?

I can't seem to figure out how to edit the date so it shows up in 2009.
Thanks,
Paul

Well Paul, I had the same problem - changed a date to 01/09 and it disappeared making me think it had set to 01/08 as there is no option to set year that I can see. Quit iCal and restarted and there it was in 09! Guess somewhere it knows you are not creating a retrospective date but it could be a little more helpful and god knows what you do if you want to set a date in 2010!

How to edit multiple regions in one Piano Roll window

I edit multiple regions in one Piano Roll window at the same time. (It is very handy way of editing especially in huge orchestra projects.)
I can see midi contents of all selected regions in Piano Roll at the same time.
1) But how to choose certain one region of many selected to edit it?
2) And how to edit all at once?
Hope the questions are clear enough.
Thanks.
Dmitriy.
iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) 2,7 GHz Intel Core i5. 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
OS X 10.10.2

First of all, the Piano Roll has two mechansim, of what it is displaying.
Selected Track: This displays all the Regions that you select in the Tracks Window
One Track: Selecting one Region in the Track Area displays all the Regions of tha tTrack in the Piano Roll. If you select multiple Regions in the Tracks Window, then the last selected Regions counts.
Whatever Regions are now displayed in the Piano Roll Editor can be edited. Select the MIDI Events and apply the command.
You can also apply edits directly to the selected Regions in the Tracks Window.
I explain all those little details in my graphically enhanced manuals ("Logic Pro X - How it Works")
One thing to be clear about:
Tracks Window: Any edit is applied to the selected Regions
Piano Roll Editor: Ay edit is applied to the selected Events
Hope that helps

Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders?

Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders? I thought upgrading to Mountain Lion would work, but I'm having the same problem as before under Snow Leopard. So, here's my situation.
I'm running 10.8.2 on a Macbook Pro. I have a 3GS iPhone running 6.0.1. I can make entries on my Mac Calendar and they will show up on my iPhone, but if I make an entry on my iPhone, it never makes it to my Mac. Also, I notice that when I log in to my iCloud account on my Mac, it has a "me.com" email address as my apple i.d., but it is not my primary account i.d. and I can't figure out how to delete it. Also, my Reminders application won't allow me to delete lists I created. Contacts, on the other hand, work instantaneously regardless of where the change is initiated.

On you iPhone check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the calendars section). Here be sure you have selected the Calendar listed under your iCloud account ID as your default. If you haven't, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
You should be able to delete you reminders list by, from the Lists view, tapping Edit at the top, then tapping next to the list you want to delete and tapping Delete.

You can enable editing in a DG to the whole DG or only to certain columns
http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/05/11/creating-an-editable-datagrid-control-in-flex/
If you want to enable editing to a very specific cell then you use the event itemEditBegin to prevent editing a cell that doesn't meet your criteria

How to capture the event in ALV grid display?

Hi experts,
How to capture the event in an ALV grid display which is editable. I have to capture the TAB key or ENTER key.
regards,
Arul Jothi.

Hi Arul,
Take a look at sample program BCALV_EDIT_03. (Find string "register ENTER" in the program to see how to register)
Basically you have to Register edit events using method call REGISTER_EDIT_EVENT and then write a handler method for event DATA_CHANGED..
If you are using a REUSE..GRID fm then first get the grid reference using function module GET_GLOBALS_FROM_SLVC_FULLSCR and then repeat the above procedure..
Hope this helps..
