ICal won't let me add new events.

I can't add any new events to my iCal on my Macbook Pro.
But I can edit the existing ones.
I can also add events on my iCloud calendar online and on my iPhone and it will show up on my iCal on my Macbook Pro.

Lizah,

Ical will not let me add new events

Hi. I am working on a mac at my new job and I was trying to use the ical on here to setup my calendar. However, when I click in the field I get a warning message that says: "You cannot change events or To Do items on calendars you've subscribed to."
I didn't subscribe to this calendar, it is the original calendar given to me when I opened ical. I tried adding a new calendar and adding on that but it gives me the same message. Any suggestions on what to do to fix this? Thanks!!

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.

My iCal will not let me add new events since Jan. 1,2013. I get an error message that directs me to the console, whatever this is. Frustrating and confusing!!!

My iCal will not allow me to add any new entries. I get an error message that says I encountered a critical error while saving to data base and directs me to te console whatever this is??? This just started after the first of the year?

My iCal worked fine on my MacBook Pro so I ran Chronosync between my MacBook Pro laptop and iMac, the problem seems to have disappeared. Both computers have a working iCal now and I have my fingers crossed that they will stay so!!!

My google calander won't let me add new events; my pandora won't load; and a youtube video pops up randomly on both these sights when I refresh the page.help!!

These seem to be problems with firefox, but I am not computer savvy so I don't know for sure. I have cleared history, cache, cookies and rebooted the computer. Other users of the computer said it was acting funny but provided no details. Sometimes also a tab just randomly closes. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

ICal-all events deleted and won't let me add new HELP!!

Hi there,
Recently I started my iCal and all my entries were gone. Not only that, but it won't let me add new entries no matter what I do. As well, my to do list on the right is blank and the space on the left where my calendars were listed before is also blank. If I go into my computer I can find the files from iCal with the information but they aren't showing up in iCal itself.
HELP!!
Thanks

klgreene595,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
1. Can you associate this behavior with anything that you recently installed on your computer?
2. Are you using MobileMe, or any other sync software?
3. Do you have any backups such as Time Machine, or an iCal archive?
4. What calendars do you have listed in your sources pane?
5. Have you subscribed to any calendars?
6. Do you have an iPad or iPhone?
7. Where have you found the iCal files on your computer?
8. Have you attempted to repair disk permissions?
9. Try refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the "com.apple.iCal.plist" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, and drag the .plist file to your Desktop. Then log out/in or restart.

My calendar will no longer let me add new event or delete them, it comes up with an error saying "cannot save event, no end date set" or "event does not belong to that event store". can anyone help with this?

Hi,
To configure your ODBC DataSource, go to Control Panel ---> DataSources(ODBC) (If you are in a Windows environment).
Select the tab System DSN. If you have not added your data source, then do so by clicking on the Add button. If you have added the datasource, click on the Configure button to configure it.
Give the datasource name, then the database name.
You have to give the hostname, service name and server name. I guess, in most cases, the datasource name and host name will be the same, service name and server name will be the same. If you are using TCP/IP, the protocol will be onsoctcp.
There will be a file named Services under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc where you have to give the port number for accessing this server.
It will be like this <service name> <portnumber>/tcp
Hope this helps...
best wishes,
Nish

Ical missing the can't add new events! Help?

The plus sign is missing from my ical on my iPad, how do i get it back to add new events?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

ICal won't let me save an event

My iCal all of a sudden won't let me save events . Keep getting error messages that I either haven't set calendar or can't save event since its not in that event store ?

None of the Apple calendars have been maintained or updated since 2010. Not surpring that they are inaccurate. The other thing you should know is that most calendar subscription entries are not editable. This may explain your issues with not being able to add additional entries on the marked holidays. On the other hand, when a calendar publisher makes a change in their calendar, that change will be reflected in your subscription immediately.
I'm not Jewish, but for Jewish holidays many people use and like Hebcal.
http://www.hebcal.com/ical/
You can unsubscribe from the Apple calendar by going to the Calendars button, right clicking on Apple's Jewish holiday calendar, and clicking Delete. Then you can subscribe to one of the Hebcal calendars by clicking on the calendar you want.

ICal quits when trying to add new events

I cannot get iCal to add an event without it suddenly closing. The only difference I can tell is now there is always this conflict resolver window from iSync popping up saying there are no conflicts to resolve. I never had that before and now that it has started my ical is all messed up. It showed up after the last sync. I am using 10.4.11 and iCal 2.05.
Thanks for the help.

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!!

ITunes won't let me add new songs to established playlists - what's wrong?

I'm more than frustrated. Yesterday, everything worked fine! I created 3 playlists and did the drag/drop of songs into the playlists. Today, I bought more music. Those songs show up in my library. But ... when I try to drag/drop the new songs into the established playlists, the playlists don't update. No new songs.
iTunes 6.0.4.2
Windows XP Home
Thanks!
Windows XP

I'm really a novice at this ... I just found the added songs. I thought they would be put in alphabetically just like the first round. They weren't ... they were added on the bottom.
Sorry for my stupid question. ::sigh::

My ical won't let me add icloud account

I'm trying to sync my icloud account with my computer but this message comes up
The calendar https://cal.me.com:8443/principals/users/1.1348353031/ was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct.
I can't find the URL for my icloud account.
Anyone know what I can do?
Thanks so much

Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? This is not compliant with iCloud and calendar and contacts syncing won't work.
There is an unsupported hack which has enabled some people to sync their calendars, but it may or may not be reliable.

ICal - Cannot add new events

Having an issue where iCal is not allowing us to add new events. It will allow you to add events on the iPhone, and when you sync, it adds those events, but it will not allow events to be added from the iCal application on the Mac itself. The user is using Mobile Me, which I am not familiar with. Could there be a setting that disallows new events to be added in iCal on the Mac, and only accepts events from the iPhone?
Thanks!

I am STILL having this problem and I tried your test admin approach, but it still hasn't fixed MY account. I can log in on my husband's account, or a test admin user account, and I can add events to iCal. When I switch back to my own account (the main account on the computer that is used all the time) -- no go - it still won't let me add events.
Anyone have a guess as to why the problem would be affecting one account only, but not the others?

Unable to add new event in iCal, Lion 10.7.1

Hi,
On Lion 10.7.1, I can't seem to add new events to iCal.
I have tried the following:
1. 2-finger click on a day in the month-view. This pops out the menu and I can click on 'New Event', but after that, nothing happens.
2. Clicking on the '+' button at the top. This pops out the 'Create Quick Event' window. After typing in a new event and hitting return, nothing happens.
I can create a new event in the 'Day' and 'Week' view though.
iCal was working fine for me last week, but it seems to be broken since yesterday. I'm not sure if it stopped working after the 10.7.1 update.
Thanks for any guidance or assistance!

Solved! Needed to check "Show All Day Events" in the View menu!

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

ICal won't let me add new events.
