After update to iOS 5 my iPad-1 can't add new events to Calendar and Contacts

Hi.. I had the same problem... To resolve this issue, I followed banndiit's post and it was ok for me. U should enable contacts and calendar in iCloud settings and the + sign will reappear .. In fact, I disabled contacts again after enabling, u will receive a validation question whether u want to keep the contacts on iPad or delete.. Select the right option for u... U should still see the + sign ... Hope it helps

I don't see any of the buttons you are talking about anymore! Invite download gone! + gone! Calendars gone! All of these option are gone!

Ok. I figured it out after reading fix above. Went to settings>iCloud>Calenders. My Calenders were on already so I turned them off, saving my appointments when prompted, restarted my iPhone, then went back and turned on Calenders and merged info when prompted. Buttons are back but original events are gone and only iCloud Calender showing. I am going to my desktop to check Calender setting and try selecting "all" to see if that's the problem!

fixed as well, how stupid can this get....

lee740,

I had the same issue. Our problem was, we setup my wife's iCloud account in her iPhone using her iTunes ID/Password instead of her MobleMe ID/Password (which in our case is different).

If this is a possibility try this;

Go to the internet and log into your iCloud account. Check your calendar to see if everything is in order. If it is, go to your iOS device and click on Settings/iCloud. Delete the account and then reactivate it with the same login ID you used on the internet.

Hope this helps.

yes, go to icloud, turn on calender and contacts, merge, then turn off, solved issue. now need to get my ringtones working

Hi there, I had the same problem with my ringtones. You need to uncheck them in iTunes and then check them and try again, so crazy but it works. Thanks for the help with the add button on the calendar.

My problems with Calenders has been solved! My 4S iPhone arrived and it's synced with not one single itty bitty problem.....yet! Lol!

I had the same problem on a iPhone 4, so turned calandars on in iCloud and was able to add events. I also have the weekly cal app, and this change did not fix the problem in there. I can add events in the calandar and they appear in the weekly app, but then I can't edit or delete them in the app. Have to go back to calandar.

Does anyone know how to fix problem (iPhone 4) without having to use iCloud? For now I'm not too keen on using iCloud but I need to fix this glitch of not having the plus button to add calendar events

try my solution listed earlier.

i didn't have to switch my icloud on or off...but i had to restart the calendar app.

To do this, exit the calendar app, then double tap the menu button to bring up the task manager (it shows a list of open apps in a strip at the bottom of the screen).

Tap and hold the calendar icon till a "-" sign appears on the icon's top left.

tap the "-" sign to shut the app...then tap anywhere on the main screen to close the task manager.

after that simply restart the calendar app as usual and you should have your buttons in place.

(ftw, i have icloud on for my calendar)

So let me get this straight...the ONLY way to be able to add events in your iPhone calendar is to have iCloud enabled for you calendar and address book...at least once? Therefore you pretty much have to surrender personal information to a corporation in order to retain a feature that you otherwise had the whole time...pre iOS5? That is F$^&ing nonsense. Seriously, that's not only creepy, it's plain wrong. I encourage everyone reading this thread who's not inclined to use it to NOT enable iCloud but instead flood Apple with complaints until this is changed.

Had same problem with calendar, would not accept any new appointments or allow me to delete.

Opening task bar and closing all open apps solved the problem !!!

Since I upgraded my iPad, I don't have a Calendars list, a refresh button or a + button on my iCal. I've done everything everyone has suggested. Still no way to add events and no way to choose the calendar used.
