New calendar event gets reset to default list, loses start time

Question

New calendar event gets reset to default list, loses start time

Hi there, working on a Mid-2012-iMac 27" with OSX 10.8.2 and all updates installed, I have a problem which seems to be new:

When I enter a new event in calendar-app incl. a start-time/duration and choose one of the lists (calendars), everything seems to be ok. When I return to the calendar-app later, the event is listed under the default list/calendar and is reset to be an all-day-event (no start-time). This behaviour is the same wether I add participants or not. The participants receive ical-invites for the "reset" event – no time and chosen list included.

Any suggestions what might help (despite the usual fix permission/restart etc)?

Thanks, Till

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 8GB RAM, 2TB HDD

I´m still having this problem from time to time! No further info which circumstances may cause the problem.

My work-around: Adding events by using the quick-entry-field, then changing the event to the preferred calendar-list. I´m still looking for a solution! Think this happens if the new entry gets synced while I´m still entering data. Shortly later the already synced standard event (incl. standard-calendar-list and all-day-time) gets synced back to my iCal and overwrites the changes I made in the meantime. This is something Apple should take serious!!

Hey, where are you all? Are you all ignoring me??? I seem to not get A SINGLE answer to whatever question I ask on this forums …

The problem above still persists, Apple! Adding events in the month-view causes syncing problems and entries are being reverted to standard-calendar-category and all-day-long instead of the specified hours …

Perhaps no one has the answer. Probably does not help but I have the same problem too on several apple devices...
