Q: No Option to Change Default Calendar

I've been struggling with this and can't find an answer anywhere.  On both my iPhone (3GS running iOS 5) and my iPad (first gen running iOS 5), there is no option for me to change the default calendar in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar.  The only options under the Calendars heading on both devices are New Invitation Alerts, Sync, Time Zone Support, and Default Alert Times.  How can I get the Default Calendar option to appear?

 

Thanks for any help!

A:

For what it's worth, I figured it out.

 

In addition to my iCloud calendars, I subscribed to CalDAV calendars from my office (from Snow Leopard Server).  For some reason, you can't set or change a default calendar unless you turn off the CalDAV calendars.  At that point, the option to set a default calendar magically appears.  I set the default I wanted, then turned the CalDAV calendars back on, at which time the option disappeared again, but fortunately left my selected calendar as the default.

 

Hope this helps someone!
