new entries revert to "new event"

My laptop is a little too old to support Yosemite but otherwise is working fine. If Yosemite is the solution, this is a ream mess. I run my business on my calendar. Anyone know a good calendar ap that works around this?

BusyCal is a solid alternative to iCal. I've been on it for one month. Great features. Works seamlessly.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if this issue is also present under iCalServer?

Does BusyCal work across all devices/iCloud updating by itself (I have a Mac Pro, MacBook, iPhone, iPad.)? And can I share my calendars with other people from work?

Sorry just looked at the features of it and got all my answers. It looks exactly like Calendar and does all the same!

Perfect - might be the way to go! [VERY BAD CURSE WORD] Apple... 🙂

Just enter the event from your iPhone--- Thanks a lot Apple 😠

Switched mostly to Apple devices few years ago, really liked most products; then switched whole family to it.

But sorry to say, lately, quality more and more nitty gritty quality problems.

This seemingly minor calender issue shouldn't appear in the first place; and seems Apple is beginning to ignore

or deprioritize user experience issue. That's a shame because many got to like Apple because of user navigation experience.

But now now !!!!

Totally agree! Switched to Apple because OSX was stable (Snow Leopard) and no s*h*i*t*t*y consumer features or updates all the time. Now it s*u*c*k*s more and more and as a professional it's really annoying to see a new OS every half/whole year or so. With loads of faults and making your computer slower... so you can buy a new one 😟

Apple is just becoming another Microsoft... just hiding underneath modern design :-/

If I use the + sign (Quick Event) for any calendar other than the Home calender it keeps the Event title but reverts to the Home calendar. Only way I can add an Event to any other calendar is by editing the event after it's entered in Home. I started having problems around a few days ago. Macbook Air with 10.9.5.

Argh! I apologize. I was trying to reply to acmac in a much earlier post.

In my reply, "Home" calendar means the default calendar.

I'm glad people have found another calendar program for their needs but I don't feel this is a solution. Why should I have to purchase software to fix a problem with Apple software that I already paid for? From reading comments it appears that upgrading to Yosemite doesn't fix the problem (not that I want to upgrade after reading reviews!) Anyway, because it *is* a problem in Yosemite, than perhaps <?> Apple will address the problem.

I agree whole-heartedly with every point made here. Apple's ethos (if it existed after the demise of Jobs) is devolving into one of style over substance. What galls me the most is their apparent contempt for customer feedback - look at the hundreds of threads here, many of which are bug reports going back several years - most are not addressed. Apple, we are regularly informed, do not bother to read these areas. Here is a startling example of how they blatantly disregard criticism - on their own Apple Store... so wrapped up in their own deluded wonderment that they are happy to have hundreds of customers report what is clearly a manufacturing quality issue on their own accessory shop pages: (yes folks, it is merely a USB- lightning cable - seems even getting these simple things right is a major task for them) http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/reviews/MD818ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-cable-1m?fnode=2 d3b8b50bb23b0c325e41f1540585e7a6bb6298031637b4947bdfb33e7b6f7d905dce9e36da9b7fc7 384bbeb3a9ec991eeccc684db2a6fff835d2ddcd478e061c9ae5f6137d10a41ba5fab9ddcb133cf5 2978161e94e2bbdfec1a5af950b0c0c87e5d0e40a56816574ae3eae753f4026&page=0&rf=1

Re my previous post - does anyone here get the impression there is no quality assurance department anymore? I guess they could have closed the division and sacked everyone in order to pay for the rather costly acquisition of Beats headphones (not very good sound quality either if I have to say so)

I agree ... as you said, I'm glad people have found another calendar program for their needs but I don't feel this is a solution. Why should I have to purchase software to fix a problem with Apple software

Appalled at Apple

I'm sorry this is happening to so many people, but glad it's not just me. The only thing I've found to do is type in the event title, copy it, hit return, click on the "new event" that it has reverted to and copy the title and add all the details. It always "takes" the second time around. What freaks me out is finding a "new event" with no information and not knowing whether an actual event disappeared, or whether I merely touched the screen and created one accidentally. Since Yosemite evidently doesn't fix the problem, Apple needs to step up and resolve it. This makes Mac Calendar unreliable, IMHO.

Ok. So I have just had this happen with an event I modified in iOS! Modified an already-existing appointment by changing the Calendar (color) and it reverted to the HOME calendar. SO. What did I do? Well yes sportsfans. I did it again. I FIRED my iOS calendar. 🙂 I replaced it with 'Calendars 5' *Once again an improvement over the stock calendar in terms of reliability and capability.

What's next Apple? The Reminders app? Notes App? It's all good. There are replacements for those too. And when the OS is simply the only smoking corpse left, I switch to Linux Ubuntu. It's all good Apple. I can do this all day.

Cheers!
