Ensure you have sufficient permissions on your Apple Calendar account. If you’re part of a shared calendar, verify with the owner for added permissions. Check your device's calendar settings to ensure it’s not restricted, and confirm you're signed into your iCloud account correctly. Sometimes, app or device restart may resolve the issue. If these steps don't work, updating iOS or the Calendar app might be necessary.
