ICal - problem creating events in Exchange calendar

Hi All, this is a weird one to describe, so please bear with me...!
My client is on Snow Leopard at the moment, so does not yet have access to iCloud (upgrading remains an option but he is in no hurry). He is, however, having a confusing time of it using iCal on his Macbook.
He has linked iCal to his corporate Exchange account, and certainly he can view all the events within his iCal. However, when he creates a new event, it does not get created within the Exchange calendar, but rather in his local calendar, and then gets overlaid, visually, on top of the Exchange calendar. Consequently, this created event does not synchronise with his iPhone, because it is only "known about" on his local MacBook. Sorry if this sounds a little confusing, but do you guys see the problem?
Another, minor-ish, point is that the new event he creates locally always gets colour coded in a way that he seems to have no control over. Can anyone explain how the colour coding gets determined when a new event is posted?
To sum up then, he seems only to be able to read events in his Exchange calendar, but cannot add events in a way that they then get synced correctly.

I just barely had this problem.  I restarted the program and it worked.

  • ICal problem creating event in month view

    iCal does not allow me to create an event when in Month View. I used to be able to double click a date in Month View and could easily create an event. It does allow in Week View, but I like to use Month View. Anyone have this problem> Solution? Thanks!

  • Ical cannot create event in month view

    iCal cannot create event in month view. Is this a bug?
    I've tried double clicking in a day as I always did but nothing.

    Ko be,
    Application UI issues are in many cases, caused by a corrupt plist file.
    Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.

  • What to do if you have an i phone5 threw sprint carrier and arent able  to creat events on ur calendar app

    What to do if you have an i phone5 threw sprint carrier and arent able  to creat events on ur calendar app

    What carrier you are on should not be an issue when it comes to operating an app. What happens when you try and create an event? Do you see an error, does the calendar app do something when you try to add an event?
    What user troubleshooting have you tried. From the User Guide http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296, the steps are restart (power off/on), reset (hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will restart), a restore from a backup, and lastly a restore as a new phone.

  • Mavericks iCal won't talk to Exchange Calendar

    Running MacBook Air, 10.9.4. iCal suddenly stopped connecting to Exchange. I deleted account settings, and re-created Exchange account in System Preferences > Internet Accounts. I received "There was an error in Internet Accounts preference pane.". Checked some discussion threads and saw that for some, disconnecting Internet access and manually setting server worked. I tried this, and was able to set-up Exchange account, however it works for everything except calendar (i.e., it syncs with notes, email etc). When I open iCal, my Exchange account appears as a calendar option in the left of iCal screen, but none of my calendar entries appear in the calendar part of the iCal screen.
    All other account calendar entries (e.g., my Google Calendar) appear fine.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    Found a solution, from a different post.
    I reset again all the iCal prefs and caches ( (~/Library/Calendars, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist, ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCal) and RESTARTED the Mac. Then I opened iCal and added back the Exchange account, and all working good.

  • Ipad/Iphone calendars missing events from exchange calendar

    I have an Iphone and Ipad, both using iCal. They're set up to sync with Exchange 2010 server. Somehow both devices are missing random events from the calendar. I can see them  in the outlook 2010 calendar. I've already found a solution to fix this(Turn Calendar Syncing Off and On again to rebuild the calendar). What I'm looking for is a reason as to why this is occuring. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm using the most recent IOS on both devices.(6.0.1)

    I seem to have fixed it myself. Sorry for adding to the digital clutter.
    After dismounting my iPhone, the clear history button was enabled. It then synched well.

  • How to get updated and recently created events from google calendar in pl/s

    Hello
    I am able to get Google calendar events using pl/sql..I am receiving huge xml code(if there are more events),want only update and recently created events instead of getting repeated events.please help me in this regard.
    Thanks

    From the Google Calendar API online documentation:
    "Retrieving an event again
    If you want to retrieve an event that you've retrieved before, you can improve efficiency by telling Calendar to send the event only if it has changed since the last time you retrieved it."

  • Why is iCal is creating duplicates of my calendars?

    I have recently "upgraded" to Lion and it has created all sorts of weird behaviour on my MBPro.
    I synced my iPhone with my MBPro and suddenly all my calendar events were duplicated (NB. not the actual calendars).
    So I decided to restore my Calendar folder from a previous backup via Time Machine... this worked for about 10 seconds, displaying the single entries for my various calendars as normal. Then a few seconds later, it all goes back to double vision – all the entries are duplicated!
    I tried again, this time disabling any iCloud accounts and even disabling the wifi... it still happened!
    What is going on?
    Please help me!!

    Check your "Calendars" on your Calendar app. With iCloud, you have your Calendars duplicated in iCloud. The New Lion Calendar allows you to see your MBPro claendar and/or your iCloud Calendar.
    I chose to display only my iCloud calendar entries on my iMac Calendar. like so:
    I suppose if my iMac and iCloud calendars are not synced then i would not have the duplicate problem. But This way my Calendar entries are saved on both my iMac and iCloud and I can chose which I normally want to have on my Calendar.
    I do the same with my iPhone. I show just my iCloud Calendar.

  • ICal problem with events

    iCal - since installing Lion, when I enter an event, it defaults to "all day" and the default end time is 8 hours later rather than 1.

    Yes, it's a problem that many people have reported. The notes in the calendar do not wrap around; it's just one long line of text that goes off-screen. Also, any notes you have in "contacts" don't show up at all. I hope this is corrected in future software updates.

  • How do I get events and changes created on my IOS Calendar to show up on iCal using iCloud?

    Using iCloud I can sync my events from iCal right to my IPod Touch. This is great except for the fact that I rarely create events on iCal. I usually create events using the Calendar app on my IPod Touch because I always have it handy and I feel that has a much more intuitive UI. I was really excited about iCloud being able to sync my events from my IPod to iCal but it doesn't seem to be working. When I create events on iCal they sync to my Calendar right away, but when I create an event on my IPod it doesn't show up on iCal. The same is true for changes made on my IPod to events synced from iCal. the changes don't show up in iCal at all. HELP PLEASE!

    The operating system should read 10.8 - sorry...

  • How do you put RSS subscription from iCal on exchange calendar?

    I have created a RSS calendar subscription on my iCal. I have a exchange calendar set-up in my iCal. How do I get my RSS calendar subscription to sync with my exchange calendar?

    I had this problem as well.  I deleted the app and it still was showing the birthday calendar in the list even though it was not selected and I was getting the notifications.  To get rid of this, you have to go to the Settings App then scroll down to the facebook section (below the default apps & twitter) and delete your acount from there.

  • Exchange Calendar Sync

    Is anyone else having problems syncing the Calendar app to an Exchange server?
    I have my work email account (Exchange) setup in Mail and calendar. Up until a few days ago everything seemed to be working fine.
    Then sometime around the latest OS update i started noticing the exclamation mark apprearing next to my exchange calendar in the calendar app. Mail continued to work normally. This exclamation mark seemed to be intermittent at first but then i noticed it wasnt pulling in new events that had been created. Clicking on the exclamation mark revealed nothing (i expected some kind of dialogue box explaining the problem).
    I decided to delete the exchange account and start from scratch. Now however, the calendar wont pull in any event data at all. Throughout this, the mail seems to have carried on working fine.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    Morning,
    As coincidence would have it I just yesterday managed to get mine working. This is what i did in the hope that it helps someone else.
    My problem was that I could create events on the calendar app which would appear in the Outlook calendar (therefore syncing to the exchange server. But events or changes to events done outside of Calendar on mac, werent pulled through.
    As a test I asked the administrator to set me up a blank test email. I then added events from all devices and moved them around and all worked fine. This proved to me it was a problem restricted to Calendar app and my account. The only thing i could think of was that there was an old event stuck in the system somewhere that was causing problem syncing so I deleted my account and cleared my cache and all worked fine!
    To clear my cache:
    Finder
    Go menu while holding Alt key
    Library
    Caches
    Delete:
    ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCal
    I then set up my exchange account as per normal.

  • Exchange Calendar Syncing -- One Way sync only

    I am able to sync my contacts and email both ways between my Pre and my exchange server.
    However, any items I create on my PRE are not showing up on my Exchange calendar.  Items I create on my Exchange calendar show up on my PRE. 
    Is this a generic issue or a problem specific for my handset?
    I tried deleting and adding the exchange info.  It did not work. 
    J.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    This may or may not apply to you guys, but I know that I had issues with my Exchange/Outlook syncing to my Google Calendar, using Google Calendar Sync. The problem was due to the default event-type in Outlook.
    If the Pre is very closely tied with Google, it's possible you will have to go into Outlook, and change File > Folder > Properties for "Calendar" and make sure it is set to IPM.Appointment.
