new entries revert to "new event"

I think this might be a refresh issue....if you start a new calendar event, alter it to the particular calendar you want to set then wait 10 seconds and then fill out the details it seems to work ok. The issue with this is that anyone sharing your calendar first gets the 'New Event' pushed through to them and then the correct calendar entry. Not sure what has changed in the last month.

Thanks for urging folks to contact Apple support, TB. I submitted feedback. along with a link to this discussion.

Fyi, this may be only me, but I am having the ADDITIONAL problem of edits to long-existing events disappearing. Example:

-- Wednesday morning: I edit an event that's been in existence since Monday. I close out, the edit stays, everything is fine.

-- Wednesday evening: The edit is still fine.

-- Thursday: The edit is gone; it's reverted back to the pre-Wednesday entry.

This is horrible. I have to double-check EVERYTHING now, days later. I may as well just go back to 1989 and use a paper calendar...

APPLE TECH ARE NOW IGNORING MY EMAILS.

This is a disgrace!

Apple does not officially patrol or monitor these discussions. This is a peer-to-peer forum. You are very unlikely to receive an official reply from Apple here.

Instead, try contacting Apple Support, your local Genius Bar (if there is a "local" one), or sending feedback to the Calendar development team at Apple via this form, as many other posters on this thread have suggested.

This workaround works for me as well. I'm not sure when the change was made in the OS, but it is a bit inconvenient. I've also sent feedback to Apple.

This strongly appears to be an iCloud sync issue.

My reasoning:

• I've switched off Wi-Fi and changed the calendar selection for the event without closing the event edit dialog (the event title holds).
• I've also confirmed that I can type in an event title and select different Google calendars, and the title name will still hold.

Thus, there is apparently a problem when Calendar tries to sync the event to iCloud. The metadata for the event title is not being saved correctly to iCloud when the event's calendar is changed without closing the dialog to "save" the event first.

All we can do is use the workaround until the issue is repaired (if Apple does decide to repair it), or else upgrade to Yosemite.

i personally don't think apple will be putting much attention to this problem since it's an Issue with an older release. I believe they are focused on Yosemite issues and not an older release. we eventually need to face the upgrade. My resistance is that I did uograde early on and had problems so bad that I had to buy another (used) mac to solve them - Yosemite re-partitions the hard drive so there is no going back if you have problems. So I'm in no hurry to go through that again. The workarounds while inconvenient are better than the chaos I endured with Yosemite last fall. I'm going to hold off with Yosemite for at least another 6 mos and in the meantime I hope apple will address this problem but not holding my breath.

Same thing happening with me ... The fix suggested does work for me (but it's a pain) ... If you want to create a new event that isn't default calendar.

1) Create New Event,

2) Before entering information, choose the desired calendar

3) Press return before entering other information (to save it)

4) Go back into event and enter any event information, and press return to save.

You are not going to like this:😟

I have just had confirmation from Apple Tech that Apple can't/won't fix this problem. The only thing we can do is to upgrade to Yosemite which will fix the issue. This is costing our business a great deal as we have to upgrade other software to be compatible with Yosemite.

Hang your head in shame Apple and expect my bill. I shall be informing trading standards and the media.

My work around: When I re-enter the entry, it saves the new entry and doesn't go back to 'new event'.

In other words, enter every entry twice and it sticks. Inconvenient but no need to upgrade to Yosemite.

Hi Hueyo, I misunderstood your first work around, but I just tried it again and yes, it works better.

It's not about a workaround. Yes, you can "jiggle" it to stick doing a few different things. The point is we shouldn't have to do a workaround, but Apple is obviously not going to do anything about it.
