My iCal will not let me put in a new event.

I just tried several times unsuccessfully to add an event to my iCal and nothing happens when I select new event. When I click "edit" it asks if I want to undo the new event. I tried quitting iCal and rebooting my computer, but nothing works.

Seems you have accidentally turned on VoiceOver. The process of turning it off is rather convoluted once it has been activated. Look in the Manual under  Chapter 32: Accessability ....VoiceOver:

  • ICAL will not let me Accept or Decline new Invites from outlook users

    Hi using Ical with mobileme new calender. Ical will not let me accept or decline any new meeting invites or change and updated invites sent to me.

    So as the owner of a 140 year old brand who appreciates just how important it is to continue satisfying your customers, I have to wonder just how long will it take for Apple to lose the loyalty of its raving fans?
    I love my iPad . . . except that it won't work with Adobe Flash which makes it kind of useless for many sites that I visit.
    I love my iPhone, unless I actually want to use it outside of my home (Cincinnati is always 10 years behind, and our AT&T network is all but downtown for large parts of the day).
    And I love my iMacs, so much so that I paid big bucks to integrate it into my office network (I am the CEO, so I can do that) and convinced my wife, mother and mother-in-law to switch from PCs.
    Life was grand, integrated, happy!
    And now, the MobileMe upgrade, which tried (unsuccessfully) to force me to Snow Leopard (I was able to complete the upgrade manually); then refused to work with Google Calendar (annoying, but I switched my wife's calendar to MobileMe and eliminated the need for Google Cal); but now, I cannot get Outlook notifications to work. Really?
    If Apple is going to now be **** bent on making sure that their products are completely incompatible with Microsoft and Google, then I may have to switch back. I understand that Windows 7 is much better than the old XP that I gladly left behind. My cousin has an Android phone which appears to work great. There are now a plethora of new tablet PCs running Android that all appear to be great. And my wife was happy with Google calender and Google Docs, so maybe technology has finally evolved to the point that we no longer need Apple, Steve Jobs or his arrogant my way or the highway brilliance any more.
    It is a sad day. I loved Apple. I admired Steve Jobs. But frankly, I feel that my loyalty is being taken for granted by an arrogant company that no longer gives a **** about its customers wants and needs. I NEED Apple devices that can work and play nice with Google, Outlook and Adobe Flash. And Mr. Jobs, if you are too **** proud to deliver this kind of functionality to your customers, the day is fast approaching (and may already be here) when I can find other companies that are willing to do whatever it takes to make my life just a little bit easier. My loyalty is not free, but comes at a price: namely, that you respect me as a customer. The Apple that I knew AND LOVED is fast losing its shine. Does anyone care?

  • Ical will not allow me to add a new event

    I have tried to both double click (and nothing happens) as well as right click and add "New Event" but again nothing happens. I went into my Library and delted my cache, deleted then re-signed into my iCloud account, and checked for updates. Anyone ever experience anything like this before and better yet do you have a fix?
    Thank you

    I had tried that previously with no results. So, I changed the password with the provider. Next I resubmitted the ID and password, ignoring the Yahoo button, but instead choosing the Other button. It was successful. Sometimes it's necessary to change the playing field, rather than put up with the potholes. Thanks for your help.

  • Ipod will not let me put in passcode how can i reset it?

    ipod will not let me put in passcode how can i reset it?

    If a reset (the method Kevin refers to) doesn't work, you'll probably need to try putting the iPod into recovery mode and restoring it:

    If that still doens't work, your iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to taken or sent to Apple for service.

  • HT5312 It will not let me put my information in

    It will not let me put in my information to reset my apple I'd questions

    What do you mean it won't le tyou put your information in ? You are following the instructions half-way down that HT5312 page i.e. you've gone to https://appleid.apple.com/ and clicked 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and logged into your account, then clicked on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side is there an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address ? The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

  • 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!!!

  • I downloaded the new version and it has reverted to the old and will not let me re-install the new because it thinks it is installed

    I downloaded the new version of Pages and it has reverted to the old version.  It will not let me re-install the new version because it thinks it has it installed

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • My CD/DVD drive will not let me put in CDs period, and there is no CD currently in the slot. How do I fix this?

    When I try to burn CDs or insert CDs into my iMac, the slot/drive will not let me enter a CD. Just yesterday it was working, now it isn't. I have tried restarting the computer, turning it off, waiting a while, holding down the eject, etc. There is no CD currently in the drive either.

    This fixed my issue, which sounds just like yours:
    http://www.powermax.com/askjacob/2012/02/optical-drive-in-imac-not-accepting-cdd vd/
    Basically:
    1) Shut down
    2) Wait until iMac has completely powered off
    3) Hold down mouse button
    4) Power on iMac and continue to hold down mouse button
    5) Listen for sound of drive cycling itself (makes the sound of ejecting a disk)
    6) Let mouse button go
    7) Log in as normal
    Good luck!

  • HT2731 I am trying to set up an IPad with an Apple account already in use but it will not let me put it on this Ipad.  What do I need to do?

    I am trying to set up an IPad with an Apple account already in use but it will not let me do so. What do I ned to do so i can have Apple ID on Ipad and other items?

    Hi,
    Yes you can contact Apple UK at daytime, for free, in the Chat.
    Just go to the iPad page, then press buy now in the upper right corner, and then in the upper right corner you will see the phone number, and next to it,(only at daytime) you will see a button, writing something like contact else, I don't really know what is the exact label, but it works.
    Good luck
