User level: Level 1 (14 points)I have just started a new calendar, let's say it's called Trees. It has been assigned a red color and shows up under the iCloud calendars list in Calendar app.
Even if I highlight that the Trees calendar in the calendar list, if I start a new event, the new event is always assigned to a different calendar, let's call it Rocks, which has a green color and is not in the iCloud list (must be an old calendar local to my hard drive).
Any way around this?

Calendar events are automatically created in the default calendar but you can change it. In the Calendar app, click Calendar > Settings in the menu bar, select the General tab and change "Default Calendar".
Once an event is created, you can change the calendar it belongs to. Double-click the event to open it and click the colored icon in the upper right corner to assign a different calendar.
