new entries revert to "new event"

I finally found a way to tackle it. Turn off all your "Time Zone Support" in Preference Advance. "Refresh Calendars" under "View" every time you enter your entries. Wait for a second or two before you enter again. It works of the time.

For already 3-4 weeks, it only shifted back once or twice when I was entering too fast.

Seems it is the time related matter change the calendar.

Note: if you are living in US and move to Asia, there is problem related to time. Your time (i.e. your hours or date) will be wrong. I do not how to solve this yet.

If you stay in one location, and do not move around, then it works mostly fine.

Hope that helps!

Using OS 10.11

Sorry to let you know, this is not a true fix. I just checked my preferences, and Time-zone Support was not checked. As an experiment, I checked it on to see if there would be any difference, and there is not. I then unchecked it again and again, the problem remains.

As with what I think some others have said, I only get the change if I am trying to create an event in a calendar other than my default calendar. If I create the event in my default calendar and then go back and edit it to change it to the calendar I actually want, it keeps the data. For me, it's not an intermittent thing. If I am changing the calendar from default, it deletes the info every time. After searching for this and finding discussions about it everywhere, it's rather unbelievable that Apple hasn't fixed it.

hueyo,

Thanks so much. This problem was driving me crazy! Your fix works great!.

There is another thread going on with the same problem. I will post your solution over there.

Same problem and I can't be bothered so will move the business to google - no glitches there and no vanishing entries. Shame I spent so much money on apple devices!

It is back! For the last couple of months new entries made on either my OS 10.9.5, 10.10 or iOS devices all correctly added and synched to the iCloud calendar. Suddenly,about 2 days ago, without any software changes, some but not all new entries started to revert within a few seconds to "New Event". Clearly this is an apple-server side sync problem. Why has apple not acknowledged or fixed this problem?

Yep, I can report the same thing, only for me it happened sooner. I almost came accustomed to being back to normal and then it hit me again. Scary stuff.

The issue is back on 10.7 as well. Today I noticed that if you enter a new event and only give it a name, it will stick. After syncing you can add the specifics like time, category, notes etc. Is that working for others too?

have the same issue. i fill out all the info, hit enter and it reverts back to "new event". only then, when i edit that, does it stick. not cool.

Not sure if this will work reliably for me but so far so good- thank you.

I appreciate all the intelligent responses from users, but people have been having this problem at least since may of 2015. Has anyone from apple spoken up about what the issue is ?????

Unfortunately my appts. revert back to "new event" totally randomly, whether I first save in the default calendar (as others have suggested) and change later, or not.

It's a total crapshoot and it's a waste of my time !!

I first noticed this issue in mid-2015 while on Mavericks. I recently upgraded to El Capitan, for good reasons after holding off several months to avoid the "10.x.0" effect, and today was disappointed to experience the same issue. Calendar 8.0 (2092.2), El Capitan 10.11.12, dearly beloved and much-upgraded MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011).

I am busily self-employed. I use and view 6 calendars, 5 of which are shared with my partner/girlfriend (J Personal, J Work, J Reminder [not shared], K Personal, K Work, Us). I'm J, she's K. In addition -- I assume this isn't relevant -- I also subscribe to 11 other calendars as part of my work (I use FullSlate to manage appointments in my coaching business for myself and several other coaches). Back to the main issue: I'm currently trying a workaround that exploits the fact that most of the entries I create on a typical day are in J Work, so in Calendar Preferences/General I've changed Default Calendar to J Work.

I'll try the "Click the + button" workaround that others have suggested. I will also report the issue to Apple.

Has anyone visited the other discussions on the same topic? Are there any new workarounds on those threads?

Has anyone noticed this?

If you enter one event the event details get reset. You have to re-enter details, as others have described. BUT if you enter more events right after that they are perfectly fine.

I want to try Command-R ("Refresh Calendars") before entering a new event one day but I'll have to wait to try it. Maybe someone could try it for me on a new day with a possibly out of sync calendar? I'm guessing that might work. But for me today since I've already entered/re-entered an event the new ones I try are working.

I'm still using Mavericks and still having the same problem I described above and described by deeewayne. It's really disappointing to hear the bug is still there in El Capitaine, which I've also been hesitating to install.

Unfortunately I've seen no real fixes shared by users and no responses whatsoever by Apple in these threads.

The most efficient way of handling it I have used (not a true solution) is to enter an appointment, attempt to save or click out of it quickly until it reverts to "new event" and then after that enter more detailed information. Unfortunately the appointments still revert back rather randomly, but this way I am not entering a ton of detail and then losing it. In my experience after it reverts back once, it does not do it again. Sounds like both deeewayne and server rookie have found this to be the case too.

A maybe solution:

In Calender 'preferences' choose your main cloud agenda as the standard agenda.

I just tried this and it seems to work...

I have lost business, and appointments, while waiting over a year for a fix, and have given up on all these work-a-rounds (they all work sometimes but not always, i.e. you can't depend on the Apple calendar). Can anyone recommend a calendar to use INSTEAD of the Apple Calendar (they obviously have abandoned the issue, so its time for all of us to move on). Thanks in advance!

Since I started doing Command-R ("Refresh Calendars") when I first call up the Calendar for the day I've been having no trouble with this.
