new entries revert to "new event"

I too am suffering with the new entries reverting to a new event issue and am running 10.9.5 on a mac book pro.

Having read a lot of the previous thread and another one there seem to be various suggestions for what causes it but for me it is when I change the calendar it is assigned to. I don't have any delegations on my calendar and as far as I know it isn't linked to my phone which is android anyway. I do not want to upgrade to yosemite after reading negative reviews and am disappointed if apple won't even consider fixing this bug.

I was just wondering Jake Eagle how you found the problem had gone? (even though it then came back) Did you do anything to fix it or did it just randomly stop for a bit?

Hi Jessica, the problem seemed to go away randomly. I don't know why, but it did return. I continue to use BusyCal as my only safeguard.

Following. The reverts to New Event problem remains. Probably carrying a paper calendar is only safe way.

Still having this problem. It has not gone away for me.

Still having this problem

Just re-confirmed yesterday with apple senior tech that the official fix is to upgrade to yosemite or work around by entering event in default calendar then changing to desired calendar after saving then editing... They are no longer working on this issue and said if the upgrade did not fix the problem and you don't want yosemite, then just restore os from back up and all would function as under previous os(per Jeffery @ 1 877 203 0418, X-1162192). Oh yeah, one more option I was told by the rep, one can always log in to iCloud.com and enter the event there in calendar.

Gave up on iCal. BusyCal works a charm.

so you are trying to tell us that Apple say, on the one hand, that the fix is to upgrade to Yosemite yet in the same breath they are then admitting it might not work?? What kind of clown outfit are Apple turning into? This suggests that they have not even tried their suggested fix.

I have to believe this is an iCloud related problem. I have a Mac Pro running 10.7.5 which ran iCal without any problems until yesterday. Today I entered a new appointment and it didn't revert back to a new event, only the start and finish times reverted back to all day. Appointments made on a iPad (iOS8) or iPhone (iOS7) that are disconnected from either wifi or mobile data don't revert back when you enable wifi after the appointment is saved.

I too am having this problem. It has been ongoing for some time now. Any events entered from an i-device (iPod Touch, iPad Air); no problem. Any event entered in Maversicks(laptop) AND Yosemite(desktop) ALWAYS revert back to 'New Event'. I also did a search for 'new events' in Calendar and there were 3; all of them at a future date. Two were for doctors appointments from a MEDICAL calendar; one was for a concert in my FAMILY calendar. This is so much BS Apple. Do what has been suggested recently, report the bug - http://www.apple.com/feedback/calendar.html

Maybe through shear volume Apple will finally address this.

I did report. +1

Are you kidding me!?!?

Apple is becoming worse than Microsoft. I'm not on Yosemite and I won't be in Yosemite because of professional reasons.

My bug report to Apple today:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------

For some time now my calendars has had an issue with reverting a newly inserted event to "new event". Until now I've been able to do a work around by inserting a new event and when it reverts to "new event" after updating I could insert the info for a second time and it would stay there.

Now I realised another thing is happening. Even though I've inserted the info twice I can see that some of my appointments have reverted only the time to the standard insert time of 9-10am. That's even worse, since I have no control when this happens!

And upgrade to Yosemite is NOT a fix. I use Mavericks for professional reasons and I'm not upgrading. You should support and add fixes to older OS! Even Microsoft does that.

Hi Hueyo,

I use OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks) and I cannot upgrade to Yosemite until the company blesses it. I have six iCloud calendars and one Exchange calendar.

Solution 1: (your solution)

With one iCloud account as the default calendar, create a complete event using the default calendar. If the default calendar is fine, all done. If you need a different calendar, open the event you only need to change the calendar.

Solution 2:

Set the Exchange account as the default calendar. It is safe to change the calendar to an iCloud calendar when creating an event (i.e. no need to reopen the event).

I spent quite a few minutes this morning playing "guess the event" which is not as fun as it sounds.

I'm having exactly the same problem. It started about three or four weeks ago, and even on the default calendar. This is really a problem. I would have missed a client meeting except for a lucky phone call.
