iCal not saving my event

Same exact problem! Wish Apple would fix it...

I too am having this problem - this is too long to have it continue!! How many updates have we gone through now?? Steve is rolling over in his grave - we have become PC'ers - they have always had updates every week and problems like these ... alas.... marketing instead of technology :- ( 😐😮😟

Hi

On a post that I made for the same issue, someone had pointed me to the basic change in calendar preferences and it worked for me. I had literally spent HOURS on it beforehand trying just about everything and thought I had tried everything. Thought I would humour the person and try it, and surprisingly - it worked! Here was the solution (on my iMac):

1. Get into Calendar

2. Go to Calendar preferences

3. On the General "tab"

4. Make sure the Default Calendar reads "Selected Calendar" NOT the calendar you want your default to be eg. in my case I wanted it to be Work. Anyway, I changed it and it worked.

Hope this helps for everyone else too.

I would add one thing - my preferences in iCal were already set to "selected calendar" and still my events disappeared, so I selected a random calendar then changed back to the original setting of "selected calendar". I have not had a problem with my last couple of events. Yeah, thanks

Turn off wifi/internet while editing your calender whenever this happens.

I have been using Apple products since 1984 and this glitch really P*ss*s me off! Here's a suggestion, not a true fix:

1) Double click on the day you want to add an entry to open a new event window.

2) Add event details per normal. DON'T HIT RETURN (even though it's an automatic reflex that any software engineer should know about 😉

4) Click outside the new event window on the image of the day's agenda with other events on it, etc.

5) Your new event should take.

good luck....

I have tried and it doesn't work for me. This issue is driving me nuts!

I cannot believe Apple haven't solve this issue yet. The only workaround that works for me is not changing the default calendar when creating a new event. After the calendar updates, then I can go and change the selected calendar. It is annoying and time consuming, especially when you have to add +10 event a day at work. Apple do something, please!

I ran into this problem just today. I kept trying to add an event and it would immediately disappear.

What I was doing was adding an event that is in the past. Just to have a record of it. What I didn't realize was that I was only syncing back 2 weeks for some reason and so the event I just entered (about 8 times) disappeared because it was more than 2 weeks in the past..... OK, I was an idiot...... LOL

This worked for me!! Thank you!!!
