The plus sign button to add new events in iCal on my iPhone is missing.

On the top, to the right of "All Calendars" there is a plus sign that is used to add events.  On my 4GS I have that and a "Calendars" button.  On my husband's 3GS, those buttons are missing, making it impossible to add events to his calendar.  Both phones have been upgraded to iOS5.
In Settings under Calendars the phones have the following choices:
New Invitation Alerts - Both phones - both set 'on'
Sync - only on his phone - set to 'All Events'
Time Zone Support - Both phones
Default Alert Times - Both Phones
Default Calendar - my phone only - set on Calendar (as opposed to Home, Work or Untitled)
Can anyone tell me how to fix this so he can add events to his calendar?
Thanks.

Go to Settings>iCloud>Calendar>On. Toggle it on and off. Leave it on if you want to sync with iCloud but then don't sync with your computer or you may get duplicate entries.

  • Unable to add new event in iCal on iphone 4s

    iCal does not have the plus sign button to add a new event when I open it up. Siri cannot create a new event either. What to do?

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • 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!

    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.)

  • I can't open new tabs by clicking on the plus sign, or in file new tab

    Whereas previously it was possible to open a new tab by clicking on the "plus" sign at the right of the last open tab, or by selecting "file" and "new tab", neither of these options work. New tabs will open for a new webpage, but a "blank" will not appear.

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbBLPV5/3.13.1.18107

  • Unable to add new event in iCal

    OK, this may be a total newbie question, as this is only my 2nd day with a Mac, but I can't add an event in iCal.
    My calendar is a Google Calendar, and I have successfully set this up in iCal (I can see all my events). However, I can't find a way to add an event! The File > New Event is greyed out, and the keyboard shortcut doesn't work either.
    I'm guessing it's got something to do with how I've set things up, but I have no idea where to go from here.

    Hey there,
    i´ve got a problem with my iCal. The little calendar on the left corner is stuck to January 2001 and i can´t add a new event. The other thing is that i can´t close the programm normally. I really hope you cann help me because i am not really sure what to do. I allready try to delete the cache and tried to use it with a different user account but nothing is working so far.
    So i really hope for help

    Charly,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Often iCal display problems can be corrected by refreshing the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

  • 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.

  • I can no longer add an event on iCal in my iphone.

    I am now on iCloud.  Since I went to iCloud, I can no longer add events on ICal on the phone.  I only use iCal from the phone, not from my Mac.  I have removed iCal from ICloud and still no change.  I cannot add events to my iPhone ICal.  Help!
    I have an iPhone 4.

    Hi,
    If you list the steps you have taken to fix this it will help.
    Have you tried using the File > New Event menu item?
    Have you logged the user account out/ restarted the computer?
    Have you tried un-syncing any accounts synced to Calendar?
    Is there some change made to the computer that may have triggered this?
    Best wishes

  • Firefox does not open a new tab when you click the plus sign button which is actually a shortcut for opening a new tab. You have to open a new firefox window in order to get a new tab. Please help. Thanks.

    I didn't have this problem before with Firefox. My kids must have pressed something or clicked on something that's the open new tab button does not function anymore. No matter how you click it, it doesn't open a new tab. Even if you click on file, then go to new tab, it still doesn't open a new tab. You have to open a new firefox window in order to do multiple browsing.
    Hope you can help resolve this problem.
    Sincerely,
    Ems Guillarte

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. Checking your list of add-ons, the MyPlayCity toolbar is a version of the Ask toolbar.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Firefox is not allowing me to add new tabs. I'm pushing the plus sign next to my tab, and it is no longer adding new tabs. How do I fix this problem?

    When I open Firefox, I automatically have one tab. The plus sign button to add more tabs is next to the one tab, but it no longer adds tabs when I click on it. When I click on it, it doesn't do anything. How can I fix this problem so I can have multiple tabs? I downloaded the most current version of Firefox, and I'm still having the same problem. I've had this problem for a little over a week now.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How do I add the add bookmark button - the plus sign - to the safari toolbar

    The plus sign icon - to add a book ark, has disappeared after upgtading to Yosemite.    Can I get it back?

    The "Share" icon- an arrow out of the box icon- is moved to the right of the address bar in Safari 8/ Yosemite.
    If you get "No Service" when you click the icon, follow the instructions in this article released by Apple.

    Assuming you're creating this event to place in your calendar, and assuming this calendar is shared with your iMac and iPad using iCloud, might the calendar be restricted on your iPhone?

  • The plus sign on my calendar has disappeared....can't add events?.

    The plus sign in the lower right corner of the calendar app that allows you to add events to the calendar has disappeared.  I have turned the iPad off and back on....recharged it....nothing.  Help!

    Go to Settings>iCloud>Calendar>On. Toggle the setting on and off. Leave it on if you want to sync with iCloud, but do not sync the calendar with your computer if you sync with iCloud or you will get duplicate events.
