HT2513 Problem Creating Recurring Events in iCal.

Hello.
I'm having some issues creating a recurring event in one of my iCoud Calendars on iCal.
If I create a new event then go in and change the recurrance, time, and name it stays in my iCal for a few seconds then defaults back to a basic appointment with no name, time, or recurence. I then need to go back into the event and reprogram everything. It will then save the changes.
Its a little annoying as I need to reprogram the even and save it twice.
Has anyone had this problems, and could offer assistance?
Thank You!

The same thing happened to me! I'm in another discussion thread about this and it seems many people have the same problem and it all started about a week ago

HT2513 Cannot Create New Events in iCal

Hello:
I recently deleted a large number of appointments from my iCal using my MacBook. Now, iCal on the MacBook will not allow me to see new events I want to create, but it will push the new events to my other devices using iCloud. What's going on?

Hmm....I was able to fix my issues. I'll share it here in the event it can help you.
While iCal was closed I simply moved to trash the folder "/Users/<my username>/Library/Application Support/iCAl/" I then re-opened iCal and I could then create new or import old ".ics" files, close iCal and re-open with all information being retained. Sweet!

Deleting a recurring event in iCal

Situation; iphone 5 recurring event wont delete. looking at same calendar on a synced PC (work) the event is not there at all.
If you are having trouble deleting a recurring event in iCal try this:
on your iphone change the event "alert" or "show as" setting on one of the events in the future. The event that wasn't showing on the PC outlook calendar magically shows up now. delete it from the PC by opening it and choosing the X delete for all occurances (if its asks).
Now open the event in iCal and you should see the Accept Maybe Decline option at the bottom - choose decline. you may have to do this on several dates, but that should delete the event.
Hope this helps.

pedfogog,
... or whoever may find this post in need of assistance as I was.
I just had this same problem and successfully deleted ALL event (past and future)instances by :
1. Click on any instance of the event in the calendar
2. Select "Delete" from the iCal toolbar "Edit" menu.
3. The iCal propmt asked me to choose to delete all or just the one instance.
4. Naturally, select to "Delete all occurrences"
I am running OS 10.6.8 iCal 4.0.4

User unable to create recurring events on public calendar.

As the title says, I have a user that is unable to create recurring events on a public calendar.
I have given full rights to the user even as owner and it still will not create recurring events.
I'm convinced its a permissions issue, but have no idea where to look any more. I've temporarily added the user in domain admins just to test, and it works! Why would this fix it? Why is being set as owner of the calendar not enough?
She just keeps getting "You do not have permission to modify some or all of these items in this folder."

What rights does she have on the folder? You might try revoking her rights, then adding them back.
Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."
Rights were set to Publishing Editor.
I changed the permissions to none and even removed folder visible. Confirmed she had no access and added them back. Still fails.
Then removed user account from permissions list, confirmed, added back, tested, failed.

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!
The only way I have to create an event is by using the "+" button, which is very limiting!
I am running the latest version of Mac OS X and all the updates.
Anyone know how I could get a proper use of my iCal ?
Thanks

Hi,
If you list the steps you have taken to fix this it will help.
Have you tried using the File > New Event menu item?
Have you logged the user account out/ restarted the computer?
Have you tried un-syncing any accounts synced to Calendar?
Is there some change made to the computer that may have triggered this?
Best wishes

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services. (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.) If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature. Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

ICal 3.x .ics import - problem with recurring events and non-unique UIDs

Upgraded to Leopard over the holiday break. Under Tiger's iCal (v2.x), .ics files exported from other calendar programs (Outlook via iAppoint/O2M in this case) and imported into iCal behaved 'normally'. However, in iCal 3.x in Leopard, for recurring appointments in the exported calendar, only the last appointment in the series shows up in iCal (although some meetings show up for about 0.25 seconds during the calendar import, then immediately disappear! This post by MalcolmS provided the critical clue - it seems that for recurring events, the .ics file has all of the events in the series with the same UID. Previous versions of iCal didn't care, but v3 apparently does - and deletes all earlier versions of the event, leaving only the last one with that UID. I confirmed that is the case by opening the .ics file in Word, which clearly showed all of the recurring events, and all the events in a series (e.g. a weekly meeting for the year) had the same UID. After the import to iCal, only the last one is in the calendar (in the above example, the one meeting of the series occurring in the last week of December). Manually editing the UIDs of a recurring series in the .ics file (to make them actually unique) allows them to all show up in iCal after import.
Since many of the events in my Outlook calendar are accepted invites for recurring appointments, re-creating them as individual calendar events in Outlook is not a viable option. The frequency of changes to my calendar means I usually export it once per day (or twice); thus, manually editing the .ics files is also not a viable option.
Any suggestions on workarounds for this problem? Alternatively, any other suggestions for getting the calendar data from Outlook into iCal?
Thanks in advance!

Alerts for recurring events in iCal no longer display on iPhone after iOS5 upgrade

That pretty much says it. I have a daily meeting in my iCal, with two alarms set, one for 15 minutes before and one for 5 minutes before. The alerts no longer display on my phone after the upgrade. (They appear on my Mac no problem.) Has anyone else seen this problem? I have notifications turned on for iCal , set to Alerts. Tried badges, tried turning notifications off then on, to no avail. It doesn't display for recurring events that were in my calendar before the upgrade and for those created after the upgrade. I don't seem to have a problem with regular i.e. non-recurring events. Doesn't seem to matte also if it is the default calendar or a different calendar either. (I tried Reminders and that worked fine, but I don't want to have type all of my recurring events in to iCal and then in to Reminders as well....)
Thanks very much

I'm having the same problem on my iMac (works on a different phone on my MBP). I restored the iphone and no dice. I'm also constantly getting a beach ball... Hope someone out there knows a workaround.

I cant create new events in iCal on my Mac or display them

Since a few days ago after upgrading to Lion when I want to create a new event it
dosent show up in my calender. All the old events is shown and when I create an
event for example on my iPhone and sync with iCal on my Mac I can see the
new event.
I click in the calender to make a new event, nothing shows up, but when syncing
with my iPhone I can see the new event without any text because I didnt see the
small eventbar to type in or make the right time for the event. Can anybody help
me with this issue?
Regards,
Collins from Sweden!

Called Apple fast track support and problem is resolved. User error, for some reason I had selected the wrong calendar - after selecting the proper calendar on the left sidebar I could create events. Apparently at some time I created a 'todo' mailbox. It had nothing in it and I ended up deleting it so it doesn't get selected again in error.
Took 15 minutes to connect with an ICAL specialist. Once connected received excellent support.

Recurring events in iCal

I just had a ton of recurring events on my iCal calendar thorugh iCloud disappear. Any ideas why this happened?

The same thing happened to me! I'm in another discussion thread about this and it seems many people have the same problem and it all started about a week ago

Can't create an event in iCal.

I just upgraded to 10.7.4 and noticed that my iCal isn't behaving correctly. When trying to add an event, on my MacBook Pro I get an error:
The server responded with “400” to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.
And when trying to create an event online via iCloud.com I get "server error"
The only place that I can create an event is on my iPhone 4S
Any ideas?

Did you get anywhere with this problem? I get the same error but can't find a solution.

Why don't' some recurring events in iCal synch via iCloud with my iPad2

This may be a question better asked on the iCloud community, but I already have something similar there.
Not all of my recurring events sych via the iCloud with my Mac and IOS devices. For example, my anniversary appears on my Mac and my iPhone, but not on my iPad2.
I notice that when I click on "Calendars" when the iCal app is open in my iPhone I get 2 lists of calendars - one that is labled "On my iphone" and the other that is labled "iCloud". The same two lists appear in the iCal app on my Mac. But on my iPad2 the only list that appears is "iCloud".
Can anyone help with this issue?

Here's somthing Apple suggested to me for some problems I was having that was related to the basic features of the iPhone. Connect the iPhone to your Mac, launch iTunes and.....
1 - backup your iPhone to your computer
2 - restore the iPhone to factory settings.
3 - restore the backup.

Outlook 2010 subscribed internet calendar recurring event problem -- missing recurring events

Hi --
In Office Outlook 2010, I'm subscribed to my wife's google calendar via subscribed internet calendars. A few weeks ago, I noticed that recurring events weren't appearing. I deleted the subscription, and resubscribed, with no luck. (All
her other appointments and events were there, but not the recurring ones - including new scheduled events she had just added.)
At the same time, I did the same thing in Office Outlook 2013, (on another computer), and all the recurring events were there.
So the problem isn't with the feed, but somewhere in MS Office Outlook 2010.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi,
Please make sure the latest patches and service packs are installed for your Outlook 2010. Since the issue doesn’t happen in Outlook 2013 on another computer, the Internet Calendar URL should be OK for opening.
Please refer to the following article to create a new Outlook profile and restart Outlook in Safe mode to have a try:

If the issue doesn’t happen in safe mode, the issue may be caused by any third-party add-ins, please disable then enable the add-ins in Outlook One by One to confirm the issue cause.

Missing recurring events with iCal

Hello All,
I am having problems with synching recurring iCal events to my Nokia 6600 and was wondering whether someone could point me in the right direction. All other events (non recurring) seem to come over just fine but the problem seems to be with anything that has been set to repeat yearly. I am using Tiger OS with all the latest updates.
Appreciate any help in advance.
Cheers,
Vincenzo.

I'm having the same trouble. I noticed it will put a recurring event in but it will only appear for about 2 months. This only happens with events that are marked as whole day. If you put in a time such as 12:00 till 12:01, then it will repeat properly.
