Me again! I see in "COMMUNITIES" that this problem is not only me. Some are saying this issue goes back to 2013? Has anyone found a solution ??? It is a NEW ISSUE for me, about 30 days now. I can't depend on the apple calendar at this point. I have to additionally write in an old fashioned appointment book - VERY FRUSTRATING -

I've got the same problem, for about the past 30 days. Can't seem to find any resolution.

This problem just cropped up for me in the past week or so. It was intermittent at first, but seems to be becoming almost constant.

Sometimes editing the event to put the name back in works, but sometimes it reverts to "New Event" several times.

I wonder if this is some sort of glitch in the iCloud sync function?

Has anybody tried turning off iCloud sync and seeing if it still happens?

Well, that was interesting.

I went to Calendar Preferences - Accounts and disabled the iCloud account. All of my appointments disappeared, including the ones I set up on this computer.

So, no joy but more info.

Thanks,

iCloud issue? I spoke to a support gal the other day , before we got disconnected.... and she said " there is a server issue" - The next gal I spoke to after the disconnect... said she actually had the same problem but had not yet investigated ... Seems I read this has been a known problem since 2013? Anybody know more or has anyone YET FOUND A FIX? Thnx

Hueyo on another thread has a solution that works for me:

Hueyo, here. I certainly hope our friends at Apple are hard at work returning this situation to normal. In the meantime, I'd like to report what's working for me.

I do all my Calendar stuff on my MacBook Pro, so I don't know if this applies just as well to iOS devices. But what I've been doing is making a new event as per usual in every way EXCEPT assigning it to a calendar. Then, after closing the editing window, I right-click on the item and assign it to a calendar using the contextual menu. Far as I can tell, that's working just fine, without having to go thru any additional bother.

See, Apple? I'm doing MY part. Now how about you folks doing YOURS?

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.
