Viewing calendar when editing event date

Hi all
I'm sure this is a question that has been asked before but I've not been able to figure the correct search terms.
I'm a fairly new iCal user..
When editing an event, I want to be able to pop-up a calendar to select a date from. At the moment I can type the date but can't seem to figure out how to bring up a little calendar to select one from.
Tips please?
Cheers
Craig

lower left hand corner- mini calendars click it and begin
This shows me a calendar but if I click on that while editing an event it takes me to that date and aborts my edit.
The question is question - can iCal let me select dates, while editing, from a small pop-up calendar? Instead or having to type them in?

  • Calendar no longer expands panel to edit event date/time

    This issue just occurred out of the blue. When editing event details in the calendar, I click on the date/time panel to edit the date/time/repeat/etc. The expected action is for that panel to expand and be scrollable. What it is doing now is showing the prompts, but not expanding/giving a scroll and smushes everything together. Any ideas on what could be causing this and how to resolve? Screenshot of the issue:
    I'm on Yosemite 10.10.1 and Calendar 8.0 (2026)

    As always, I have no "Edit" button even one minute after posting, so I reply to my own post. I did also trash "com.apple.Calendar.plist", no change at all either in my chosen preferences or in the missing messages issue,

  • Is there a way to automatically update events in the Outlook 2010 calendar when adding events in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010?

    I am using Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. I have synced my Outlook calendar with my iPhone using the iCloud Control Panel. This is great, but when I add an event in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010 and subsequently send out invitations to the event, I get the following error:
    "This meeting is not in the Calendar folder for this account. Responses to this meeting will not be tallied. Do you want to send anyway?"
    I select "Yes" and the invite goes out. However, when invitees receive the email invitation, there should be 2 emails - one from Outlook and one from iCloud. The iCloud invite does not always come through. If the invitee responds to the Outlook email invite, it does not show up on the iCloud Calendar.
    Is there a reason that the iCloud email is not always sent or is there a way to some how update the Windows Outlook Calendar when adding events in the iCloud Calendar through Outlook?

    I have just discovered this problem as well.
    Very annoying!
    Now all off my meetings entered in Outlook on my desktop PC are not syncing with my ipad and iphone.
    If I had known this would have happened I would never have downloaded Version 2.0 of the icloud control panel.
    Does anyone know how I can get the earlier version back?

  • I get unwanted duplicate lines when editing the data content of my JTable

    I have created an editable JTable (filled with data from an SQL) with a modified instance of AbstractDataModel.
    I have a phenomenon that I cannot explain nor fix: each time I edit a data field in the JTable and press ENTER or leave the field, the edited line is duplicated. The extra content is not sent to my SQL (if I recreate the table everything is fine, except that certainly the changed value is lost). The problem must come from the Java code.
    Ok, I admit, that I am not a Java pro and might have made a really stupid error, but I cannot find it.
    Has someone already seen such a behavior?
    Thanks

    Now we are drifting away a little from Java and start getting into philosophy ... :-) But one last reply I will do:
    I agree that just playing around with the fuse box is dangerous and brings no benefit. But I am not that unknowing in Java... Technically saying I work in IT, but just not as a programmer but rather as a business consultant (I write the functional concepts that later the programmers have to implement and then I have to talk to them to fix functional errors and do the testing). Besides, I hold an official Java Programmer degree. But when not programming professionally and continuously gaining experience, it is very hard to keep your skill up. Therefore I do one or another hobby project with Java that I could also do better and faster with other tools such as Excel, Access or a simple batch job.
    My concept for trying new things is to get a piece of code from the internet from which I assume I know roughly what it does. Then I use it in my programs, and while altering it to my needs, I continuously keep searching in API, documentation and tutorials or simple trial and error to get better insight into the details.
    And as a scientist you know what I mean when I say that if I try something new, I simply accept for certain details that they work without knowing how. And over time I then take the time for the "how". Many famous people made their inventions by trial and error and while then testing their new observation and changing the surrounding conditions found out why they work. Not that I would claim for myself to be anything close to a genius inventor but I found that the approach works for me to advance in my insights of a solution.

  • Blackberry Calendar Sync - Wrong Events Dates

    Hi
    I recently wiped my entire calendar on my phone as it was a mess. I composed a new calender with certain re-occuring series events on outlook calendar 2012.
    The syncing porcess to my Blackberry Curve 8900 works fine, no issues raised by Desktop manager yet when i look at my phones calendar there are random events that have been placed on wrong dates?!
    EG: an event for the 01.10.12 will be showing on the 02.10.12. When i click on this event on my phone and view 'whole series' the date shows for the 01.10.12 to re-occur every few week - so why its on the 02.10.12 i have no idea - Interestingly though when i click on the same event but 'view occurance' it shows the incorrect date of 02.10.12. These events are 'entire dat events'
    Outlook is defintely correct and i have not put in this occurance for the 02.10.12 so why is it syncing to my blackberry as wrong occurance date but correct series information? bizzare. Really frustrating.
    When i look at future series dates for this incorrect occurance there doesnt seem to be a pattern, the other series are correct. However throughout the year there could be up to 15 diffierent examples of this happening on random dates.
    Ive looked at several formums and tech help. Im using OS5 operating system.
    Any workaround, fix? Does anyone else experience this issue?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. Doesn't seem a big problem for other users, there are very few threads on this. 
    Have you found any solution yet?

  • ICal Crash When Editing Event

    If I double click on an event name or select "get info" my iCal immediately crashes. I am unable to view the info or edit any events. It happens on all events across all of my calendars.

  • Can i hide "Open Web Part Page in maintenance view" link when editing wiki page properties

    I am working on an Enterprisewiki site collection inside SP 2013, and currently when contributor users edit the wiki page properties by going to "Page Option >> Edit Properties" , then will find the following link, named "Open Web Part
    Page in maintenance view" which sound strange :-
    so can anyone advice what is the purpose of this link and how i can remove it ?

    Hi,
    If someone wants to open a wiki page in Web Part maintenance view then they can directly use this link to switch into the view and can directly delete problematic webparts from there.
    To remove this link, you can try below jquery code in Content Editor webpart on Editform.aspx of wiki page library.
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
    <script>
    $(document).ready( function (){

    $("a[id$='WebPartMaintenancePageLink']").parent('td').parent('tr').hide();

  • Repeated crashing of ical when editing events

    Hi, new to this but looks good so here it goes. Mac in general seems to be playing up right now but ical in particular is crashing EVERY time I change the calender type (colour) of an event or move it to a new date or 'cut' it. No error message, no being slow just totally shuts down and then does the whole reporting to apple and relaunching business. Can't seem to find anything online that fixes this and has never done it up until maybe a week ago. Also got issues with my PPOE server if that offers any help!?
    Thank you in advance!

    Find the latest iCal crash report in your Library/Logs/Crash Reporter folder, double click to open it (it should open with console.app) and paste the contents here. While you have console open look in console message to see has iCal posted anything there before crashing - if so, paste that here too.

  • Unable to edit "calendar" field of events with invitees

    I am having a couple problems with the "calendar" drop-down field on calendar events.
    This is on a 4S, iOS5, syncing calendars with iCloud.
    If I create an event with an "invitee" (or add an invitee to an existing event), I can no longer change the "calendar" field of that event.  In fact, the "calendar" drop-down doesn't even appear on the iPhone calendar app's "Edit" dialog for events that have an invitee.  I can still change it via the web interface at www.icloud.com, and the change is even pushed to the iPhone.  But on the iPhone itself, I cannot find a way to change the "calendar" field on an event that contains one or more "invitees".
    Second, if I receive an "invitation" from someone else, I cannot find a way specify which of my calendars I want the event on when accepting it.  I would expect it to go to the calendar I have defined as "default" in Settings, but it seems instead to go to the last calendar I created.  And after accepting it, I cannot change it because the "Edit" dialog doesn't display the "calendar" field, as mentioned above.  Again, I can change it via the web interface at www.icloud.com, but cannot find a way to change it directly on the iPhone.
    Am I missing some way to edit/change the "calendar" field of an event with invitees?  Or to select which calendar I want events to be on when I "accept" invitations from others?

    I have the same problem.  I recently updated to iOS5 and set up syncing through iCloud. 
    I was able to add one event into my iphone calendar app, but for the next event that I tried to add, there was no longer the option to choose a calendar and when I tried to add it by tapping "Done," an error message came up: "No calendar is set". and there was no way to select a calendar.
    I was able to add the event on my Google Calendar on my laptop (PC), and it synced automatically, but I wasn't able to add any events from the iphone itself because "no calendar is set". 
    I tried turning off and on the phone and syncing back to my laptop, but the problem persisted.
    I deleted the iCloud account on my iphone, and that seemed to fix the problem; I'm able to add events again from the iphone and it's syncing to my Google Calendar.
    I then signed on to iCloud and setup syncing again, but turned off syncing everything except photostream, documents&data, and find my iphone since everything else would sync to outlook or internet explorer, neither of which I use.
    That might have been the problem.  For PC, iCloud will only sync to Outlook and Internet Explorer, and I don't have Outlook setup (can't connect to my work's email server with my account and the IT guys don't know how to fix it or they're too lazy to troubleshoot) and I only use Firefox and Chrome.  Since iCloud isn't syncing to any calendars on Outlook, there aren't any calendars set...
    I just did this a minute ago and everything seems to be back to normal, including the ability to choose a calendar when adding events.
    I'll have to see if it the problem comes back

  • HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION not working when editing HR master data

    Hi all,
    I search for similar problem but couldn't find any.
    I am using HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to insert record to an infotype. I proceed with standard way (ENQUEUE employee, call above fm, DEQUEUE employee). It works fine when running as executable program.
    Now I want this functionality when editing EE's master data (i.e. modifiying one infotype record). For this I put the same code to some user exit. Now when executed I can proceed with creating new entry, it saves I can see how data are updated in pa30 for this EE. But when I reenter his master data are without this new record anymore.
    Does anyone faced similar issue? I guess it is not allowed to use that fm when editing master data, but can't find a answer if this is the issue.
    I did also a test creating this new entry for some different EE, but it neither worked.
    Any info appreciated.
    Thank you
    Marcin

  • Suddenly cannot change the calendar for an event in iCal?

    When I creart new events, they now automatically are asigned to the top calendar group (as listed on the left side of the iCal screen).  When I try to edit the event and asign it to a different calendar, the menu only shows the calendar groups, all in grey, not the individual calendars. 
    When I go to preferences to investigate what's going on, I only see the calendar groups, all in grey, not the individual calendars.
    When I click on the "+" sign in the top-left corner, same problem, only the calendar groups appear, all in grey.
    Why can I suddenly not access these calendars when editing an event?  Why do they stop showing up in the editing menus? 
    The calendar still show up in the list menu on the left. I still can add new calendars and new calendars groups.  The problem occurs when I try to assign an event to a specific different calendar.

    Saw your post Beth over on my thread but I thought I would respond on this one since we're all here.
    Hi y'all (^_^)
    Sorry to meet under such horrid circumstances, but it's nice to know that I'm not the only one.
    I've found out a few things that didn't work so here's the list to save you both some heartache.
    No type of re-install fixes is. Not a partial reinstall of the OS where you keep your data or a full wipe.
    Checking your permissions or scanning the disk for errors doesn't work either. Creating a dummy user account to see if the problem ports over is a waist of time. If you don't have free support on your machine don't spend money on opening a ticket.
    The problem is specific to the Mountain Lion release 10.8.3. The only fix that I have found while I wait on apple is to regress back to 10.8.1 (18.8.2 has the issue also) . . . reverting isn't hard to do with this nifty program I found but nearly impossible for me as I purchased my iMac in February of this year and the firmware came with 10.8.3 in the recovery partition. I've been scowering the net looking for anyone with a 10.8.1 full install dmg (not the update) but everyone either thinks I'm pirating software or doing something impossible so needless to say I'm still running 10.8.3
    But all is not as bad off as we think. The problem is only with Calendar (or contacts, whichever place originated the problem as I have found the majority of people on the net who have encountered this did so while in the Contacts program not Calendar). This is a good thing! Because since the problem is unique to the software of origin (Calendar for us) that means we can still use use Calendar and the cross-program functions of Calendar (like creating an even from mail or inviting someone from your contacts) as if nothing is wrong. All programs that read event or calendar files work just great, only Calendar is having the issue. In other words, keep using Calendar like there isn't a problem.
    This is a hard pill for me to swallow because I see that there is still a problem and I am itching to fix it. My obsession is only causing me to drink. I have tested this theory by creating a whole new schematic on iCal where I have 6 new Calendar groups all with at least 3 calendars in it and multiple events. (I'm a small business so they're not just dummy events). The great news is everything works like it should as long as I take precautions.
    Here are those precautions:
    1 - When creating a new event MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE CALENDAR YOU WANT THAT EVEN TO BE IN since you won't be able to use the drop down and choose later because it is greyed out for us.
    2 - If you run into this loop where you can't save changes to an event (happened to me a few times when the problem first materilized) just pop the calendar that even is inside to the base calendar list. In other words, take the calendar out of the group, make your changes, then click and drag it back into the group. Even if the event is recurring everything will be fine. Groups only alter the hierarchy of how iCal stores and displays the files, not the files themselves which is why other programs aren't having a problem reading them.
    After I made my slew of new groups I tried a few things out to make sure everything was actually still working and it all came out perfect. You can still publish, sync to google, or iPhone, or android and things will display just as you expect them too. Reminders even worked. The problem is ONLY inside iCal and even then only when trying to use that drop down menu.
    Long story short, if you can deal with knowing in your gut that things are f.u.b.a.r but keep going about using iCal as if it isn't, then you will survive the long wait (prob 2-3 weeks) until the 10.8.4 patch comes out or worse yet the 10.8.5 major release this summer.
    Sorry this is such a long post (and for the misspellings) but sharing is caring so let's get through this together. Plus I don't know about y'all, but I spent 3K on my iMac so if this b!tch ain't gonna work like it's suppose to then it better be because of something major. . . I figured you all might be feeling the same so I should tell you just how major this bug is. And it is major, so much so that people are literally creating programs to disenfiect 10.8.3 out of their machine. If the application developer working with me comes up with a fix I will update the thread. Until then, try not to pull you hair out (~_~)

  • Calendar is creating an extra event when the event spans the week view end of week to beginning of next week.

    When I create an event in Calendar that goes from Saturday to Sunday, like my work shift that starts at 5:30 pm and ends at 3:30 am the next day, the event gets duplicated onto the next day but is seen as a single event. So if I delete the one on Sunday it deletes the Saturday one as well. But visually there are two separate events. This happens when spanning work weeks. I first noticed it because my week view was set to start on Sundays. All of my Saturday shifts were duplicated onto the Sunday. It seemed to be okay only when I switched the week to start on Mondays. But then I just went to create an extra shift I picked up on Sunday and now it's there on Monday as well.

    Ive reset, restored and this is the second phone. Thought it maybe a wonky screen that would shift it while setting dates. THe only thing I can think of is that I am syncing with google calendar, but it only happens when setting events in ios not if i do it from google website on desktop PC.

  • No Drop down Calendar Window when entering a date for a new event.

    Hi
    Hope someone can help with this annoying problem.
    In ICal when entering the date for a New Event a little window would pop up showing the month that you were creating the event in, you could then click on the date you required in the calender and it would then update the 'From' date field in your event. You could then do the same for the 'To' date field this was all very neat and fast, you could create event verys easily.
    However since upgrading to Snow Leopard this has stopped working and I can't see why.
    Does somone have answer ?
    Currently this works OK when using ICAL in MobileMe.
    Before I updated my iMAC to Snow Leopard recently but it seems that

    Have you figured out a solution to this? I am frustrated as well by lack of this feature.

  • Calendar View: Unable filter Recurring Event by Start/End Time and Group by Recurring Event View

    Hi All,
    I have just found several issues with Calendar View from WSS 3.0:
    Unable to filter by [Start Time] and [End Time]
    I am not sure why these 2 columns doesn't appear in the Filtering column in the View Settings. The workaround found in the internet is to create calculated column for Start Time and and End Time. However, it doesn't work for Recurring Event, the calculated column will show only first recurring event Start Time.
    Unable to use "Group By"
    When I create new view in Calendar using format: "Standard View, with Expanding Recurring Events", there is no option to specify "Group By". Anyone knows how to show all recurring event in List view and grouped by Start Time (or any other column).
    Thank you and apprecate for any idea.

    Hello,
    I got this from a colleague of mine so I can't take credit for it but here might be a possible workaround:
    1. Create two new Columns called Start Filter and End Filter.  Make these columns Calculated Columns with formulas of [Start Time] and [End Time] respectively.  The columns should be of the Date and Time\Date and Time type and should not be displayed on the Default View.
    2. Click Advanced Settings and choose Yes to the question "Allow management of Content Types" in the Content Types section.  Click OK.
    3. Click on the Event Content Type.  Open the two columns created in step 1 and select "hidden" for both of them.  Click OK.
    4. Back at the list settings create a new view or edit an existing view.  When you get to the filter section choose "Show items only when the following is true" and select the following:
    Start Filter
    is less than or equal to
    [Today]
    And
    End Filter
    is greater than or equal to
    [Today]
    5. Click OK to save the view.
    6. Open the List view web part that is displaying the recently changed calendar and change the view to the newly created or newly edited view.  Click Apply, OK.
