I can't add a new event to my calendar on iPhone.

I can't add a new event to my calendar on iPhone. The plus sign is greyed out and even when I try it with Siri it says "Sorry. I can't do that right now". I did my due diligence and searched all over the forums and internet and I can't fix this. There was a listing in a forum where a lady had this same symptom but it looks like toggling iCloud worked for her. Not for me. I went into Settings>iCloud and turned off Calendar and then turned it back on. Still nothing. I even went to iCloud Backup and turned it on then back off and still nothing. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

See if you can go to your Calendars App and select a previous event to see what Calendar the event was added to (iCloud or Yahoo). After that is determined you can go to www.iCloud.com or calendar.yahoo.com and add the event there to see if it will populate on your device. Another troubleshooting step is deleting the iCloud account from your device and also deleting the Yahoo account. Then check to see if you can add an event without it syncing to a email. If you can then it may have just been a bug and you can add both accounts back and try adding the event again. I would also recommend only using one service to sync your Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, etc. Such as either iCloud only or Yahoo only, as using multiple accounts means your data is spread around and can be hard to isolate when something goes wrong.

How can i add a new event in my calendar for the new IOS 5?

I cant seem to add a new event on my iPhone 4 with the new iOS 5. I read the you are suppose to tap and hold the day you want to add an event, but that doesnt seem to work for me.

It works for me when I tap and hold my finger over the day seeing the month or week, when the phone is turned sideways. Maybe you should keep the finger a little longer on the screen to hold.

Can't add a new event to iCal on my iMac - but the event sync's to my iPad - is this a Lion problem? iCloud is on.

Can't add a NEW EVENT to my iCal on my iMac- however the event is sync'd to my iPad with no problem. iCloud is turned on for iCal. Is this a Lion problem or something turned pff. I cannot find an answer. Help?

William,
It is a possibility that you are adding new events to your "On My Mac" calendars.
"On My Mac" calendars will not sync with iCloud. After backing up the "On My Mac" calendars, and ensuring that all events are duplicated on your iCloud calendars you can delete any "On My Mac" calendars.

ICal Lion is infuriating. How can I add a new event in a chosen calendar without having to create it in my default then edit it?

We are all entitled to our own opinions. So I respect you there brother
But then again, Apple has its own basis. iOS is what's selling like pancakes not Macs, so if the gazillions out there are using iOS device and have gotten used to the calendar in their iOS devices. Wouldn't you think it made sense if Lion has the same calendar look and feel?
Everything was considered and weighthed when they developed Lion. They even mentioned it in the press, They were blown away with the success of iOS so they are extending it to OSX.
Quite frankly, I like the old iCal but yeah I don't expect anything in SL to stay in Lion otherwise it'll be another Cat name related to Leopard
People should start looking at this perspective and not get STUCK in the old OS.

Can't add a new event to an imaged iMac.

I have an older iMac at work. It is on a network so all the macs are imaged. When trying to add a new event to iCal it just doesn't work. I try to drag in day but the it just diasappears. This iCal is synced with my computer at home. It works fine on the eMac which is not imaged at work but is also synced with my home computer. Any thoughts?

How can I have a new event on my calendar without an automatically alert?

Even when my alert is set to None, I still get an automatically 30 minutes alert to every new event on my gmail calendar. Is there a way to not have an automatically alert to every new event?
Thank you

Open the existing event, tap Edit (upper right). Make the needed changes. Tap Done. Tap Save for Future Events.

Can't add/modify/delete events from iPad calendar app after updating to iOS-5

Ever since I upgraded the OS on my iPad, I haven't been able to delete/modify events on the calendar app. I have to do it on my Mac first then sync my iPad to it. How do I fix this. Can't delete Calendar app & reinstall.

Have you restarted the iPad? some have reported that restarting it, by holding down the sleep and home key until you see the silver apple, can resolve the issue.

Ical will not delete or add new events to subscribed calendars on iPhone or iPad

So,
The crazy thing is...all of this works fin on my iPhone.
But, my wife, she has an iPhone, and iPad, and a user lognin on our computer where she keeps all of her calendars.
She subscribes to my calendars as well.
If I add anything to my calendar...it show up on her mac and not her iphone or iPad.
If I add something to my iPhone, it shows up on the Mac, but not on the iPad.
If she adds something to my phone, it shows up on her Mac and not on her iPhone.
If SHE adds something to one of the calendars I have subscribed to...it works fine.
This is getting very annoying as marital dstrife continues to build as we are unable to plan our week by simply looking at the clanedar before we schedule something.
PLEASE! ANYBODY!!
HELP!!

Hi Cara,
Welcome to Discussions.
With iCal closed, try deleting it's preference file (User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist).
If this does not work try repairing permissions. Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) and select your boot volume on the left and click Repair Permissions.
If neither of these work post back.

Hi Cmrl,
Does it happen when you create an appointment via OWA?
Does it happen when you create an appointment via Outlook 2003?
Do you have any mobile device?
How many users encountered the issue, all users or some user?
At first, I suggest you recreate outlook profile.
At second,
use PFDAVAdmin
to correct any problems found.

Can not create a new event in iCloud calendar

and it is not sync with googel as well

Well, i have read... that creating an icloud account... and log in successfully... and that will solve the "+" problem... but i don't if you want to try that.. is free though... =D

I'm not able to add a new event to my calender

every time that I try to add an new event to my calendar I can't. The + is on gray instead of red.

It is possible that your problem was caused by an extension that was disabled after updating.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When I try to add a new event to iCal a dialog says "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". How do I cancel this?

When I try to add a New Event to iCal a dialog box keeps saying "you can't add or change events in the Birthday Calendar". iCal is, however, receiving up-dates from my other devoces via iCloud. Can anyone help unblock this for me please?

You can not add events to the birthday's calendar. To add birthday's to the birthday calendar you need to add the birthday to a contact in the Contacts app.
You can set your default calendar here:
iCal > Preferences > General > Default Calendar and chose the calendar you want to default to.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
Thanks

Hi,
I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
Best wishes

I can no longer enter "new events"

I can no longer enter "new events" in my iCal on my Mac (O/S 10.6.7) . I can only enter a new event on my iPhone Calendar and then sync to my iCal on my home computer, which is a Mac Pro. It used to work fine.

Greetings,
Troubleshooting:
1.) First make an iCal backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966.
2.) Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical and / or "ical"
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps!
