Cannot add events in calendar

Question

Cannot add events in calendar

The following is the problem; I updated my Mobile Me account to iCloud, installed iOS5 on my iPhone and Lion 10.7.2. to my iMac. After this my calendar was transferred to icloud as well as my contacts. Perfect, I thought. Until I wanted to use the calendar. I cannot add events anymore on my iPhone. If I add an event it says; 'Cannot add event. There has been an unexpected error'. I want to safe events to my iCloud calender which you can instruct in the menu on the above left in the calender app.

I backupped my phone and restored it twice. After the restore the calendar works again, and then suddenly after 1 or 2 days it goes back to the same error as before the reinstall. It drives me nuts. Even the service team in the iAm store didn't know what was going on. Please help me out.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1, iMac Lion 10.7.2, iCloud

Could be a few things..try:

1. Turning off iCloud calendars then turning on

2. Removing the iCloud account, readd

3. Hard reset of the phone (pressing power button/home key at same time for 8 seconds)

4.If all else fails, restore the phone to factory settings

He Nicholas, thanks for your reply. All the things you mention I already tried. As I wrote, if I do a factory settings reset and replace my backup, it works for about 1 of 2 days. I can add events again. And then suddenly, I cannot add anything anymore and the same problem comes back. So a factory restore works for a short period. That's maybe the most mysterious part. Someone else with ideas to solve the problem?
