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)

    Thanks Hueyo!

    Nice tip! I've been dealing with this issue for a very long time...

    I changed the default calendar from "iCloud" to "on my mac" and yep it works this way! Just have to assign the event to the right iCloud calendar afterwards.

    Best,

    Eric

    FunkyRico,

    How did you get an "on my mac" calendar?  All I see are my iCloud account calendars.  What OS level?

     

    From an older look at this forum, this issue seems to have different manifestations depending on which Calendar View you're in.  Day View behaves somewhat differently than Week or Month View.  I, too, was confused by warwickweb's description of "form on the right side of the screen (underneath the calendar)".  I figured out he was in Day view, and he probably means the second popup that forms, this one in the RH column overtop of the day's schedule.  See screenshot below.

    I still do not have a solution to this behavior on Mavericks.  Maddening that I can't use iCal to create a new event.

    I have this irritating problem also,  .

    I have stumbled upon a 'work-around' that's easy for me . . .

    Firstly, for me the incident occurs when i enter the new event into an iCloud calendar . .

    So, I found that when I enter the new event in a calendar "on my mac" , i't's OK . .

    THEN I change the calendar to an "on iCloud  calendar it sticks,

    an then syncs properly with my iPhone 6S . . .

     

    hope this helps others . . .

    How do you get an "on my Mac" calendar?  All that shows for me is the iCloud one.  When I go to the File menu and click on New Calendar - the only option is an iCloud one.

     

    I've had these same issues as everyone else of having to input my event twice to get it to stick.  However, oddly, my husband, who has the same operating system and is using an iCloud calendar has never had any problems!  Go figure!

    well, when I start a new event, I have a choice of calendar, shown upper right as little colored box , click and it shows 'on my mac' calendars, and 'iCloud ' calendars , ,  I make the switch using that little coloured box . . .

    I don't see a choice for an "on my Mac" calendar.  I always look at my calendar in the month view.  I just double click on the day I want to add an event and I have quite a few different categories of Calendars I can choose to add my event to.  Such as Work, Dr. Appt., Fun, various projects, etc.  I still don't see anything about an "on my Mac" calendar.  I'll check out the help for Calendar and see.

     

    Thanks,
