new entries revert to "new event"

+1 I had a HUGE conflict in booking customers because of this! Get your "geniuses" together and fix this Apple...

I've had exactly the same issue on both my MacBooks -- Air and RetinaPro -- and it precedes Mavericks. I've called Apple Care a couple times on this, and they don't recognize the issue from memory, but agree it's real once they try it on their machines. **** frustrating that Apple has thus far refused to update this OSX. Yearly OS up"grades" are a pain, pain, pain. Unnecessary, unwelcome and too time consuming to download, install, debug, learn nuances -- and I mean nuances, they are not "features" -- once a year. For those of us loyal to Apple, but reasonable about how often we up"grade" the OS, it is expected that Apple with it's $130+B in cash to fix such a frustrating, well-known and long-standing flaw in a two-year old OS.

Yay! The latest update OS X 10.11.4 fixed the Calendar issue! 🙂 I don't know any old OS released the new updates as well.

Thank you kindly this helped me. I created the event in another calendar (i.e.: gmail), the change the calendar to iCloud and it stayed. A bit ridiculous, and windoze-ish, but it works. Apple needs to step up here...

Works for me too, no undoing of changes when you edit in one calendar and change it to another (colour).

Thanks for that

Mac mini mid 2011, 10.11.4

Still not working here on Mavericks 10.9.5 (was on 10.11 before, which wasn't working either)

I have a similar issue.

If a create an Event then later edit the Event, after I finished editing it it reverts to the pre-edited version.

This happens most of the time.

It is completely annoying having to do everything twice.

Chris.

Still broken for me on El Capitan 10.11.4.

Actually just found that the following works for me:

When you double click to create a new event, *don't* type all your details into the pop-up window that appears. Instead, populate the details in the form on the right side of the screen (underneath the calendar). Click away to save changes.

I tried this multiple times. When populating in the pop-up window, it reverts to 'New Event'. When populating in the form on the right side of the app, it doesn't revert to 'New Event'.

I've been copying ( select event>command+copy ) the event immediately after creating it — before it has a chance to revert. Then when it reverts to "New Event" I delete it and paste it back in. Works every time, but you have to copy it just as soon as you close the edit window.

I don't see the form on the right side of the screen underneath the calendar. I just see the calendar and the pop-up window that comes up when I double-click to create a new event. Can you help?

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,

Not sure why that is - here's a screenshot:

I see it now that I updated by OS.

Looks like you can't do that without a pop-up dialogue box unless in the "today" view. Can't do it in the week or month view of calendar.

Thank you. That helps.

It is now May of 2016, I continue to experience the same problem with iCal. What has happened to Apple's execution prowess, do they care anymore...sure looks like it. Apple response would be much appreciated.😕

It is so frustrating that this is still an issue. I use Calendar on a daily basis and this problem really slows my productivity down. I wish Apple would resolve this issue.
