Q: new entries revert to "new event"

Just within the last few days, Calendar has begun consistently misbehaving. I create a new event, assign it to a calendar, fill in information such as time and notes. I close the editing window, the new title displays (I'm using Month View) for just a second, and then it reverts to "New Event," and everything I've entered is lost. Oddly, when I enter all the information a second time, it always seems to stay.

 

As far as I know, I haven't made any changes to my OS (10.9.5) or to Calendar (7.0), neither via their settings nor any other way. FYI, I'm using iCloud to sync between the calendars on my MBPro and my iPhone (4S, running 7.1.2).

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

    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.

    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.

    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...
