Syncing New Events From iPhone

I ran into a bug where an event I created on my iPhone ended up in a read-only calendar (i.e. one I’d subscribed to) in iCal.

After filing the bug (rdar://5319313), I played around some more and found a workaround.

I had chosen (via iTunes) to sync “All calendars.” If I changed the setting to “Selected calendars” and then checked all the calendars, new events created on my iPhone ended up in the calendar I’d actually selected.

I've never had a problem with syncing "all calendars."

What I do is put all new iPhone-created events into an "iPhone" calendar and then reassign them as appropriate on my desktop.

This has worked flawlessly from the beginning.

Others have reported the same issue -- it's only a real problem if the last calendar on your desktop machine is read-only.
