I can't edit my iCloud reminders in iCal

Hi all,
I've got my MacBook set up with Lion 10.7.2, and my iPad and iPhone are now running iOS 5. I have an iCloud account set up and am happily syncing reminders back and forth. My problem though is this: I can't seem to edit reminders in iCal on my MacBook. I can edit them on the devices, just not on the computer.
I can doubleclick on an iCloud reminder just fine and its bubble pops up, but there's no way I can see to actually edit the data there. Same if I select the reminder and then choose "Edit Reminder" from the Edit menu. It looks like this screenshot:
So does anyone know if I may have set something up wrong, or if I've stumbled across a bug of some sort? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

I tried to include a screenshot in my original post, but apparently it didn't work.
I can edit regular reminders just fine doing what you describe. However, when I try to do the same thing for a repeating reminder, the popup that comes up is not editable. That's the frustrating part.
I suspect the theory espoused earlier on the thread is correct, i.e., that iCal hasn't had real support for repeating reminders built into it yet. I can work around the problem so far by updating the reminders in question on either my iPhone or iPad, but that particular workaround is useful only if you have an iPhone or iPad.

ICloud: reminders in iCal all over the place, unable to sort

Since I have switched my .me account to iCloud I have been unable to auto sort reminders in iCal on my Mac by date as I used to be able to before the switch.
Before I had the option to sort by date when I clicked on the small triangle on the right side of "reminders". Now there are only all different icloud reminder categories shown.
Surprisingly, when Im using safari and login to ical in icloud reminders are sorted by date as I want it.
Any of you experiencing the same problem or knowing how to solve this issue?
Thanks a lot!

I just talked to Apple Express service over this same problem. I went to the trouble of transferring my to-do list onto icloud Reminders - where each item can be given a priority ranking and where you are then given options for how to sort the list of Reminders you entered. I chose "by priority" of course, but you can also choose alphabetically, etc. However, of course, the point of doing all this is so that the Reminders are available on your actual device - my iphone. I then found that the Reminders list was an unsorted jumble on my iphone. Even when I tap out a Reminder on my iphone itself and choose a priority, the item remains at the bottom of the list as the last thing I typed in. Apple Express Support "explains" that the priority ranking and the sorting choices are "not supported". They offered me "an article" that explains this in detail. In other words, engaging with the Reminder function and choosing priorities and choosing sort orders is all just a cruel joke wasting your time. I would have been better off just printing off my Reminders list on paper and circling the high priority items in red ink. Oh - but you can't print it out either.
Unbelieveable.

Can't edit Google Calendar events in iCal

I am using Google Calendar's new CalDAV sync system and their "Calaboration" tool to sync my iCal (version 3.0.5, and I'm using Mac OS 10.5.2) with my Google Calendars, per the instructions on this page:
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99358#ical
It seems to work ok in that I can now see my google calendar events in iCal. I can also add an event to that calendar in iCal, and it will sync to my google calendar. However, I can't seem to edit an event in iCal that was created on the Google Calendar web page. That is, all my events that I created in Google Calendar do indeed appear in iCal, but I can't edit them in iCal. I can edit events that I create for that calendar in iCal, but not ones I created in google calendar. Not a huge deal, but I was wondering if this is how it is supposed to work, because it seems a tad inconvenient.
(I do have my e-mail address in my address book "me" card, so that's not the problem.)

Yeah, I tried deleting the calendars in iCal and re-synching to them via Calaboration, but the same problem persisted.
I did find the solution after a bit of experimenting, though. To solve it, I basically created a new calendar on Google Calendar, imported all my events from my old google calendar into it, then used Calaboration to sync iCal to the new Google calendar, and now I can edit events in iCal and GCal without problems. I don't actually know what the problem WAS, but this seems to have solved it. Maybe I made my original Google Calendar too long ago and it had some old bad settings I couldn't see? I dunno, but it doesn't matter now.
For those who might have this same problem, here's how I transferred my old Google Calendar events into a new Google Calendar without losing anything: (You actually don't need to delete your old Google Calendar at all if you don't want to, so there's no reason to worry about losing your events.)
1. In GCal, click the "settings" link at the top right of the web page. Then select the "Calendars" tab. Click the "Export My Calendars" link, which should be under your list of calendars, next to the cancel button. This will download a .zip file to your computer, containing all of your google calendars as individual .ics files. Go ahead and unzip them so that the .ics file for the calendar you want to duplicate is sitting in a folder somewhere on your computer.
2. Now In GCal, click on the "Create" link on the lower righthand side of the "My Calendars" box, which is on the lefthand side of the screen.
3. Create a new blank calendar and name it whatever you want. This is the blank calendar into which you will import your old calendar's events.
4. Now, in GCal, click "Add" at the bottom right of the "Other Calendars" box, which is under the "My Calendars" box on the left side of the web page.
5. Select "Import Calendar".
6. Click "Choose File" and browse to the .ics file you want to duplicate on your computer.
7. In the "Choose Calendar" pull-down menu, select the new, blank calendar you made in step 3.
8. Click Import. This may take a few minutes, depending on the number of events you have in your .ics calendar file.
9. Once it's done, look at the calendar to make sure your events all came into your new Google Calendar ok. It should look exactly like the original google calendar, but it will be a different color.
10. NOW, use Calaboration to sync your iCal to the New Calendar you just made in Google Calendar.
11. Once it's done synching, you should be able to edit events in the calendar in iCal.

Can't edit information in an accepted ical invitation

After I accept an invitation in ical, I would like to just edit the "new event" and "location" field but not change the date or time or any other information that would effect the invitation. Is there anyway to do this modification of text in ical?

After transferring songs to my iTunes Library I have tried to click on them so I can add composer, artist, and genre. Half of the songs will not allow me to add these items. I continually click on the song but it won't let me add anything or make any changes. Any idea what is causing this problem?
try this:
right-click (or ctrl-I) on your iTunes music folder and +get info+. check if you have read & write permissions. if not, change it accordingly. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+.
try editing the songs again. any luck ?

How can I shut off the reminders in iCal?

OK, there is a topic in the preferences and there I set the remindung-options to „off“ (or „without“) – but if I import a .ics I'll find in every date of the imported calender the reminding-option set on „1 day before at 9 a.m.“
When I opened the calender in TextEdit, there is the following:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:http://…
METHOD:PUBLISH
BEGIN:VEVENT
SUMMARY:Neujahrstag

Do I have to change a word in this text or is there a bug in Calender or what is going on?
I will be happy if anyone could help me!
Thanx!

Sorry but I know of no way of not backing up for a PC.

Why can't I edit reminders in iCal?

If I create a reminder on my iPhone, I cannot edit it in iCal. It shows up just fine, but it is read only....

It seems they can be edited in iCloud, but not in iCal. Also, the repeat feature is only available on the iPhone. I think this is a bug.

I can't locate where my aol reminders are coming from so i can't edit them

I thought I had 1 calendar but it seems that every time i create a new reminder i also create a new calendar, and i can't edit or remove reminders cause i don't know where they are "hiding".

HT204053 I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized. Any suggestions?

I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
Any suggestions?

If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

Can I change my iCloud email address? I do not see a way to edit it.

Can I change my iCloud email address? I do not see a way to edit it.

Jeffrey is correct: but you do have the option to add up to three 'email aliases' which are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main address. Indeed it's a good idea to give out an alias address rather than the master address, in case of spam or other problems: you easily delete an alias without impinging on the behaviour of the rest of the account.
There seem to be problems at the moment about creating aliases, so if you find you can't, give it a couple of days and try again.
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
You should be aware that, once created, aliases can't be moved to another account, nor turned into full accounts, nor reactivated once deleted.

You need a compatible app in which to save it such as Pages or Documents to Go.
Find an app that is compatible with Word that you want to purchase and then after you download that app - go to that email and you can select the "open In" option. Tap and hold down on the open document in the email and select "open In' and select the app that you purchased.

Any data you sync with iCloud can be "edited" in the sense that you can delete it, or in the case of email, move it to between folders, etc. You can't, however, edit anything in your backup, other than to include or exclude certain types of data from being backed up.
