My ical events showing up as "new events" on my ipad and iphone when synced with exchange?

Just to let you guys know: We are having the same problem in the German version of iCal. It's absolutely desastrous. I hope this is fixed before I loose my job.

OS X 10.7.2

iCal 5.0.1

Exchange 2010

Kind of depressing just answering without coming with any good solutions... This started to happen to me today, after our IT department upgraded Exchange from 2003 to 2010 this weekend. Before that, I was not able to use iCal or Mail without the DavMail gateway – but on the other hand I never saw this problem.

Now, with Exchange 2010, Lion 10.7.2, iCal 5.0.1, the New Event started to appear. I now use Mail and iCal in Exchange mode, not Exchange IMAP as before.

If I double-click, directly change the text "New Event" to an appropriate title, it will change back to "New Event". If I create with Cmd-N, it doesn't change back. If I double click to create an event, then hit enter, double click again to edit the event, it seems to behave correctly, i.e., not change back.

But these are just experiments after experiencing this for the first day. A real fix is needed.

Getting the exact same 'New Event' issue in iCal - very frustrating. Good to see I'm not alone though. Really hope Apple get a fix out soon...

Lion 10.7.2

iCal 5.0.1

Exchange 2010

iOS 5.01 on iPhone 4

Called Apple Care and they told me to create a new Lion user and set up my Exchange account there and add New Events. If it doesn't help they want me to reinstall Lion?

Did they give any indication of this being a know issue?

OK, think I might have found a workaround. Create a new calendar, 'on my mac'. In settings, make this new one the default calendar. Create an event, in the new calendar. Close it. Then edit it, and change the calendar selection for the new event to your normal exchange one. Seems to fix it for me. Admittedly, it's a bit of a ball ache having to do this each time, but better than missing appointments. Does this work for others?

You know what. After months of no answer and no fix this morning I've installed outlook. Sorry to say but I believe apple is getting worst day by day

Looks like a fix can be had by either:

1) Turning off auto-syncing (manually hit cmd-R after creating event)

2) Creating a blank event, syncing and then editing.

I'm in the same situation here - noting it here hoping that Apple sees the volume of replies on this post.

I agree with Conrad_Poo; the easiest workaround that I have found is to use the Cmd-R force update. But it's not 100%. This morning's calendar contains a "New Event" that I swear I entered properly yesterday. 😠

I have stumbled across at least a somewhat workable solution. If I use the create quick event button in iCal it does not have this problem.

Spent an hour on the phone with Apple. Just so everyone knows, when I told the guy I was speaking to that this was a real problem for folks and mentioned this growing chatboard on THEIR support community, he told me that they "don't have the time to check the chat boards." So don't expect an Apple reply to magically appear -- we're on our own.

I don't know if it's just me, but over the past 6 months, I've noticed things being much more buggy in Apple-land...

10.7.3 is out. Please download and try to recreate the issue. Ill do the same and post my results.

Have updated to 10.7.3 and happy to report that I have not been able to replicate the issue since. They didn't list the fix in the 10.7.3 release notes though.
