Unable to edit iCloud Calendars. Why?

I am unable to edit any of my Calendars from iCloud on my iPhone.  Is there a reason why it won't allow me to?

Does anyone know how to resolve my question (first paragraph in original posting) regarding uneditable calendar items on iPhone (with regards to syncing through iCloud)?  Thanks.

  • How do i get calendar invites to open and update icloud calendar instead of my local outlook account?

    I recently started using iCloud for my calendar and have installed the MS Outlook iCloud plug in, but whenever I receive calendar invitations in any of the mail accounts I have configured in Outlook, only my local calendar on my computer is being updated.   How do I set up Outlook to have incoming calendar invitations update my iCloud calendar?   I even tried opening the iCloud website, but all calendar items there also show up as .ics files, which automatically open in MS Outlook on my computer and again update only my local calendar (personal folders).   I also tried setting the default data file in MS Outlook to the iCloud data file, but when I did that, Outlook gives an error message advising against setting the iCloud calendar as the default.   I'm at a total loss and would GREATLY appreciate any advice anyone might be able to provide.    Thanks to all for your time!

    Hi Marknoon,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    In order to resolve this issue where you are unable to use iCloud calendars in Outlook, please follow the steps below, ensuring you follow them in order and testing after each step.
    Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)
    If you're having trouble with iCloud Calendar on a PC (with Outlook 2007 or later), try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved.
    Note: iCloud Control Panel does not support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition. When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual menu (right-click) has also been disabled.
    Verify that you are using a Windows configuration supported by iCloud.
    Make sure that your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Learn about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
    Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel window. Learn about setting up iCloud on Windows.
    Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
    Make sure that iCloud is not your default account in Outlook:
    In Outlook 2013 and 2010, select File > Info > Account Settings > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
    In Outlook 2007, select File > Data File Management > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
    If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not updating on your other devices or vice versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
    Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
    Close Outlook.
    Open the iCloud Control Panel:
    In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow  in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
    In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, then click the iCloud tile.
    In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Deselect the checkbox next to Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark and click Apply.
    Open Outlook and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
    Make sure that the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook. (Learn more about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook.)
    Outlook 2013 and 2010:
    Open Outlook 2013 or 2010.
    Click the File menu.
    Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
    Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    Outlook 2007:
    Open Outlook 2007.
    From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
    Select Add-ins from the left column.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
    Note: When enabling Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup process is to copy your Calendars data from the default Outlook .pst file to iCloud, then remove the Calendars from the .pst file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Calendars data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Make sure that you're looking for your data within the iCloud folder in Outlook after enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted files can be seen by viewing Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data. iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Calendars data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.

  • ICloud Calendar in Safari 6.1.5 Won't Load

    I'm unable to load iCloud Calendar in Safari 6.1.5 on my MacBook Pro running 10.7.5.  I had just several days ago upgraded Safari and then noticed yesterday and today that iCloud Calendar wasn't loading (error is "unable to load Calendar").  For giggles checked in Firefox and had no problem.  So this seems to be Safari related.  I didn't find anything on this in searching - anyone else having this issue and/or have any suggestions?

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Test.

  • I'm unable to edit a an iCloud calendar event on my iphone

    I set up different categories under ICloud calendar.  And one of the categories Im unable to edit on my iphone.  i can only edit on my mac.  Why?

    Assuming they are on your phone, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the Pro version.  Use the app to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing (otherwise you will see duplicates).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the exchange contacts back to your phone, and to iCloud.  They should now appear on icloud.com.

  • ICloud control panel 2.0: unable to edit event times in calendar

    After upgrading to v. 2.0 of iCloud control panel, I was no longer able to enter dates and times for event into an iCloud calendar via Outlook 2010.
    Steps to reproduce:
    0) Using Outlook 2010 32-bit under Windows 7 64-bit, with iCloud control panel 2.0.2.187
    1) Set Windows short date format to dd-MMM-yy.
    2) In Outlook, create a new event in an iCloud calendar by double-clicking on the calendar in the 8:00PM timeslot on Sun, 23-Sep-12.
    3) Click in the start time drop-down box and select a different start time - select 10:00PM.
    Result: The date changes to Sat 23-Dec-00, and further attempts to change the date and time fail.
    Workaround: Note that if you change the short date format in the Windows control panel to a different format (I tested M/d/yyyy), this defect does not appear.
    I have reported this on the iCloud feedback page, but in the meantime if anyone has any more insight or workarounds to share, please do.

    Also, this may be related to the defect described above, but this one does not seem to depend on the localization setting in the same way.
    If you create a new event on an iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010 by double-clicking on the calendar, then type a new start time of "1915" (or any other 24-hr time without a colon) in the start time field, then press Tab, the date changes to Sat 30-Dec-1899. This method of entry works properly on a native Outlook calendar.

  • Why do Outlook calendar invites appear on my iPod touch calendar but not my icloud calendar

    Why do Outlook calendar invites appear on my iPod touch calendar but not my iCloud calendar? I use Outlook at work and if I want to add events to the calendar on my iPod Touch which I use as a PDA I simply create the event in outlook select my gmail email address and invite myself. The event appears on my iPod Touch...all well and good...now with the advent of iCloud I would like to see all events on my iPod calendar on the iCloud calendar that I view on my PC. At the moment only events that I have added directly onto the iPod calendar appear on the iCloud calendar.
    I have messed around abit syncing and unsyncing, Turning the Calendar on and off in the iCloud setting on the device but nothing is really working. Any easy to follow suggestions or is it a trip to the geniuses in order?

    Not sure why you'd want to alter an artist name anyway but...
    In iTunes, right-click selected track and click "Get Info" then edit the artist field and possibly the album artist too (edit as in... make sure they have a value (the correct artist name)). Delete the faulty track on your iPod and then re-upload the new one.
    Another thing is that if you left the music player open on your iPod when you add the new track, sometimes I find that it doesnt find any of the new songs you add until you close and then re-open the app on the iPod.

  • Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way.  Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece.  So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues.  The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
    I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active.  Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

  • Why do my Outlook subscribed calendars not show up on my PC iCloud calendar?

    Why don't my Outlook subscribed calendars (holidays, LHMUG meetings) show up on my PC iCloud calendar? They are on Outlook, but don't carry over?

    iCloud is a CalDav subscription server, you subscribe to its calendars, it does not subscribe to yours unfortunately.
    So move your calendars from Outlooks local folders to the iCloud account.

  • Why does icloud calendar cut off the event window?

    When trying to update an event in iCloud Calendar that's all day long, appearing at the top of my calendar, the dialog box is only visible from the bottom half down. The top half of the event update dialog box gets cut off. I'm using Windows XP, the latest Firefox and the latest Chrome (it does it on both browsers). Any ideas for fixes? You can see the event I'm trying to edit below. The top half of the dialog box gets cut off.

    gedwardc, what is the size that you are trying to scan? Is it a legal document or a normal letter sized document? Has it worked before, and this is a recent developement?
    I want you to do hard reset in the meantime, so unplug the machine from both the back of the unit and the wall outlet for thirty second, and then plug it back in.
    Let me know!

  • Why can't I search icloud calendar

    I can search mail, contacts, notes, and reminders.
    Why, for the love of god, can I not search calendar?!!
    Simon

    You're welcome.  If you entered new events for next week that don't appear on your iPad, they were probably entered on a non-iCloud calendar.  If you have now set the default calendar to be your iCloud calendar on your phone, you will have to re-enter the events on your iCloud calendar and delete them from the non-iCloud calendar to get them on your iCloud calendar and not see duplicate events on your phone.  (There isn't a way to move them from one calendar to the other.)

  • TS3999 When using iCloud Calendar, I am unable to change the color of my work calendar. I have successfully followed the instructions to reset the colors of other calendars as desired. However, this one calendar always defaults to purple.  Help!

    When using iCloud Calendar, I am unable to change the color of my work calendar. I have successfully followed the instructions to reset the colors of other calendars as desired. However, this one calendar always defaults to purple.  Help!

    File>New Calendar to create a new calendar (Groups are for grouping calendars and I should ignore them). When you've created the calendar, control-click on it in the sidebar and choose 'Get Info' There you can select a colour. You can have as many calendars as you like. When you create a new event you can select the calendar it belongs to, and hence the colour it has.

  • Why has my iCloud calendar deleted everything from 31st august back to beginning of the year but everything from 1st September is still there!

    Why has my iCloud calendar deleted everything from 31st august back to beginning of the year but everything from 1st September is still there! All the information was there this morning and now it's all gone!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, scroll down to the Calendars section and change the sync option to something other than 'Events 1 month back'.

  • Why am I unable to edit messages in Mail App 7.0 on iMAC in Mavericks

    Why am I unable to edit messages in Mail App 7.0 on iMAC in Mavericks?

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
    From the application's menu bar, select
    File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
    You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
    Boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
    Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

  • Suddenly today some entries on my pc icloud calendar can't be accessed/edited - they just won't open. Some work, others don't. (All OK if l try to do it on iphone/ipad) All worked fine till today

    I find today when I open my icloud calendar on my PC that I cannot access/edit some of the entries - some are fine, others just won't open. If I click on them, they open a 'new entry' box, but will not give me access to the original entry.
    If I go to my iphone or ipad, I can access them all fine.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled icloud on my PC, but still the same thing happens.
    Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.
