iCal changing times of appointments

I've been thinking it was just me making a mistake -- ****, even wondered if it's cognitive decline and got checked for that. iCal is either changing my appointment times or incorrectly saving them. Happened about a dozen times in the past year, and today, I missed a rather important appointment to get my brakes checked on my car. Not comfortable driving it as is, and next available appointment is a month out. I've missed medical appointments, job stuff, and assumed I was just losing it. I KNOW I had this entered correctly. Reading a thread on this, the responses were very pass-the-buck. Time Zone settings/override are set correctly. Methinks iCal has a glitch.

Hello CarriageTownSax,

There are a couple of things we would suggest checking.

Make sure you are following these steps found at Create and edit events in Calendar on iPhone for adding an event:

Add an event

1. In Day view, tap at the top of the screen.

2. Enter the title of the event.

3. Tap Location or Video Call, then enter a physical location or tap FaceTime to enter a video link for a remote event.

You can also copy a FaceTime link you created or received and paste it in the Location field. See Create a link to a FaceTime call on iPhone.

4. Enter the start and end times for the event, the travel time, invitees, attachments, and so on. (Swipe up, if necessary, to enter all the meeting information.)

5. Tap Add.

If the issue occurs after following those steps, isolating where the issue is occurring is going to be the next step.

Do you have multiple calendars in the Calendar app?

Does the problem always occur with the same calendar, or with multiple ones?

That information would help narrow down where the issue is.

Have a good day.
