May 27, 2015 10:59 AM in response to hueyoby SPSPSP,And now, when I go back and edit some of my ALREADY EXISTING EVENTS, the changes aren't there a few seconds later. (This is in iCal on my Mac desktop, like the original problem.)
APPLE, WHAT THE F IS GOING ON???

May 27, 2015 6:46 PM in response to hueyoby rajuip,We're having the same problem over here. Same exact description - we'll add a new event into Calendar, include all pertinent information, and after clicking enter, the event information is erased and "New Event" is added to the calendar.
This is ridiculous. Apple, please make a fix for this!

May 27, 2015 7:49 PM in response to rajuipby Jake Eagle,Same problem here. It's been happening for about a week. I add a new event with whatever is the appropriate name and details, then after I save it the entry reverts back to "new event." I have not found a solution, but one user suggested using the + sign in the upper left corner to create new events. I will try this.

May 28, 2015 12:21 AM in response to hueyoby acmac,Me Again.
I have once again been speaking with Apple Tech in the UK and they still have not found a way of resolving this issue. I was amazed that they hadn't even looked on here, this forum, to see if others were having a similar issue. It seems Apple DO NOT look on these forums so may i suggest that every one of us phone the helplines and pester the **** out of them.
The only solution Apple have offered us is to upgrade to Yosemite which is not possible as we have software which is not compatible with that OS
RING THE HELPLINES. They do not know how to fix this yet but reinstalling your OS does not fix it or your diaries. If this does not get a result I will be contacting trading standards and the press.

May 28, 2015 2:42 PM in response to acmacby KLCfromUK,This is crazy. I rely on Calendar for almost everything I do and I'm missing appointments. THIS IS A DEAL BREAKER. APPLE MUST FIX THIS ASAP!

May 28, 2015 3:10 PM in response to hueyoby rigelusesapple,(Listed as a reply to hueyo despite being more of a reply to the thread at large.)
Everyone. While this still is a legitimate problem and deserves attention, there is a workaround graciously provided by hueyo that will help for now.
Create the appointment in one's default calendar and let it save. Change the entry to the correct calendar in the contextual menu. Done.
If this is used, no one should be missing their appointments. No one should find Calendar 'impossible to use'. It's not fixed -- and it should be -- but it's not the end of the world, nor does it make Calendar unusable.

May 28, 2015 3:42 PM in response to rigelusesappleby SPSPSP,rigelusesapple -- this workaround does NOT work for me. Same problem still occurs. As soon as I close out of the default calendar, it reverts to New Event. No time to save in a different calendar.
ALso, in the past few days, I've started losing info that I input into LONG-EXISTING entries. e.g. I go to an event that I entered three months ago. I change something. Two seconds later, those changes are gone.
SO, for some of us there IS NO WORKAROUND.
-
May 28, 2015 3:45 PM in response to rigelusesappleby SPSPSP,Also, to be clear. When I do this:
"Create the appointment in one's default calendar and let it save. Change the entry to the correct calendar in the contextual menu. Done."
Two seconds later, it reverts back to 'New Entry.'

May 28, 2015 3:58 PM in response to hueyoby mrchntmarine,So it's been a week since I last talked and opened a case with a senior advisor and after no follow ups from apple I left him 2 voicemails. No response. So I now called apple and told them that under my extended apple care, I wanted to return my computer bc the software(this problem) is not functioning properly - even after they had me replace the op system. The new senior advisor had me send some more logs and promised a response in a few hours. Nothing yet on the response or returning the computer......

May 28, 2015 5:39 PM in response to SPSPSPby rigelusesapple,Re: SPSPSP
Huh! I wonder if it's a difference of some sort (OS, version of Calendar, etc.) or I'm not describing it clearly. (Hmn, maybe making a video . . .)
To make sure I'm clear, this is what you're doing, yes?
- Click and drag on the calendar (I use Week View for this, but others might be possible) for the correct times for the event. This should open the pop-up menu for editing the event.
- Add a name (we'll call it Event Foo as an example), location, tweak the times if you need to, etc. Close out of the pop-up menu; I usually do this by single clicking outside of it.
- After about a second to let it save, double-click on the Event Foo in the default calendar so the pop-up window opens again. Single click on the color block in the upper right hand corner, and use the drop-down menu to change the calendar. Single click outside the pop-up menu overall.
My experience is that this leaves me with an Event Foo, at the right times and with the right data, in the correct calendar. This is what's not working for you?

May 28, 2015 6:18 PM in response to rigelusesappleby Jake Eagle,My experience is slightly different. If I create the New Event in whatever calendar originally opens (I have several, such as work, family, vacation), then the entry holds. It does not revert back to New Event. However, if I open a New Event, let's say in my "work" calendar, and I change it by selecting a different calendar, say "family," then after I save it the new entry reverts to New Event within about 2 seconds. So, for me the solution is select the proper calendar PRIOR to creating a New Event.

May 28, 2015 6:22 PM in response to Jake Eagleby rkpdavid,It only works for me if I open the default calendar, make the edits, close/save and then go back in to change the color/calendar.
-
May 28, 2015 10:36 PM in response to rigelusesappleby SPSPSP,Yes that is correct. I'm doing exactly those steps. Only after step 2 -- and I do the same thing, single-click outside the pop up window -- after that, within 2 seconds, it reverts back to New Event. Not every time, but I'd say at least 50 percent of the time. Extremely frustrating.

May 29, 2015 8:14 AM in response to SPSPSPby mrchntmarine,Mine does it every time. Unbelievable considering sine Cal is such an integral part of the system....

May 31, 2015 5:13 AM in response to hueyoby SPSPSP,Is anyone else having the ADDITIONAL PROBLEM of edits to existing events disappearing, within 1-2 seconds of closing out of the entry? This is maddening.
Specifics: I go back to an event I created weeks ago. I change or add something. I close / click out of the event. 1-2 seconds later, the changes are gone -- the event reverts back to whatever was there before. This happens about 50% of the time, no seeming rhyme or reason to which events it affects. (This all is happening on my desktop iCal app, on a late 2013 MacBook Pro running OS X v 10.9.5.)
