ICal will not let me import backed up "icbu" Data

I recently downgraded from iCal Beta as I was unhappy with the push function between my iPad and what was updated via a web browser. In the process, I made a back up for the iCal as icbu file (following file-export-export).
After downgrading it to normal iCal, I tried to import the icbu file. It appears successful for a few seconds, but as soon as the circle image starts rotating all the backed up data are gone. What gives? Here are some of the things I have tried:
1, I have tried importing the file while logged off from my MobileMe account. This changes nothing.
2, I have tried replacing the "Calendars" folder with the one backed up in Time Machine. The same thing happens. I get a flash of what was backed up, but it disappears. During this process, I have also replaced the iCal related files in the preferences from Time Machine and I am not logged into my MobileMe account.
3, I have tried importing the backed up icbu file to Google Calendar and this didn't work either.
Can somebody help me out? My schedule along with memo for my appointments have gone M.I.A.
Thanks

I too have tried turning off syncing to no avail. I also tried reversing the direction of the sync from mac to MobileMe (didn't work) and the opposite. All that did was erase my mobileMe calendar, so now both are blank. But I still can't import the backup for more than 1 second.
Oh and did i mention that my iPhone calendar is now blank as well even though i turned off syncing there as well? Ugh.

ICAL will not let me Accept or Decline new Invites from outlook users

Hi using Ical with mobileme new calender. Ical will not let me accept or decline any new meeting invites or change and updated invites sent to me.

So as the owner of a 140 year old brand who appreciates just how important it is to continue satisfying your customers, I have to wonder just how long will it take for Apple to lose the loyalty of its raving fans?
I love my iPad . . . except that it won't work with Adobe Flash which makes it kind of useless for many sites that I visit.
I love my iPhone, unless I actually want to use it outside of my home (Cincinnati is always 10 years behind, and our AT&T network is all but downtown for large parts of the day).
And I love my iMacs, so much so that I paid big bucks to integrate it into my office network (I am the CEO, so I can do that) and convinced my wife, mother and mother-in-law to switch from PCs.
Life was grand, integrated, happy!
And now, the MobileMe upgrade, which tried (unsuccessfully) to force me to Snow Leopard (I was able to complete the upgrade manually); then refused to work with Google Calendar (annoying, but I switched my wife's calendar to MobileMe and eliminated the need for Google Cal); but now, I cannot get Outlook notifications to work. Really?
If Apple is going to now be **** bent on making sure that their products are completely incompatible with Microsoft and Google, then I may have to switch back. I understand that Windows 7 is much better than the old XP that I gladly left behind. My cousin has an Android phone which appears to work great. There are now a plethora of new tablet PCs running Android that all appear to be great. And my wife was happy with Google calender and Google Docs, so maybe technology has finally evolved to the point that we no longer need Apple, Steve Jobs or his arrogant my way or the highway brilliance any more.
It is a sad day. I loved Apple. I admired Steve Jobs. But frankly, I feel that my loyalty is being taken for granted by an arrogant company that no longer gives a **** about its customers wants and needs. I NEED Apple devices that can work and play nice with Google, Outlook and Adobe Flash. And Mr. Jobs, if you are too **** proud to deliver this kind of functionality to your customers, the day is fast approaching (and may already be here) when I can find other companies that are willing to do whatever it takes to make my life just a little bit easier. My loyalty is not free, but comes at a price: namely, that you respect me as a customer. The Apple that I knew AND LOVED is fast losing its shine. Does anyone care?

Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is.

In my system preferences, my sharing folder will not let me access it. All my photo booth share button is grayed out. One more thing, My photoshop will not let me import any photographs. I believe this all has to do with this. Any way to fix this issue?

The iTunes Store has no phone support and never has. Contacting them has always been via web form. Go here:

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I am trying to load my library on the new computer but it will not let me import. the shared library disappears when i shut the original computer off.

Yeah... that's exactly the way it is supposed to work. Sharing the library does not move it anywhere.
To move the library to the new computer, copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

Can you access the images with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

Lightroom will not let me import photos from either camera or desktop. I can see them in the preview part of Lightroom but when I click import, just says they can't be read. HELP!

Lightroom will not let me import photos from either my camera or my desktop. They show up in the preview bit of Lightroom and I select the ones i want to import, then add my metadata info etc and file handling, but then when I hit IMPORT just keeps saying they can't be read. SO FRUSTRATING.

You are copying the photos. Does LR have the permission to delete the files from its source location - as DdeGannes suggested? Maybe this dialog is misleading.
Did you try to just add files copied to the destination before - just for finding the issue?
If nothing helps: Any chance you can upload one of the jpg to some file sharing service so we can have look at it?
I believe DdeGannes suggested permission on the Destination folder (not the source folder). Performing a copy requires only Read&Write permission on the destination folder, not the source folder. You need to go into your operating system and change the permissions to Read&Write on the destination folder. (If you don't know how to do that, go to your favorite search engine and type in Change Permissions Mac)

Trying to import photos and copy as DNG. Nothing will upload though. Permissions are all accurate, saving to the right profile, etc. Nothing has changed on my computer but it will not let me import new pictures. Also, updated the software and some images

Permissions are all accurate, saving to the right profile, etc. Nothing has changed on my computer but it will not let me import new pictures. Also, updated the software and some images say "preview cannot be seen" and some don't. And when I try to import and I hit "new photos" it's all the photos on my card. My brain is about to explode.

It said something similar where the thumbnails were supposed to be.
Just got the newest edition of LR, 4.4
4.4 is not the newest edition of LR
We don't want to know that it said "something similar", we want to know the exact wording. In fact, you ought to state the exact problem you are having, in detail, instead of saying you are having the same problem.

My iCal will not let me add new events since Jan. 1,2013. I get an error message that directs me to the console, whatever this is. Frustrating and confusing!!!

My iCal will not allow me to add any new entries. I get an error message that says I encountered a critical error while saving to data base and directs me to te console whatever this is??? This just started after the first of the year?

My iCal worked fine on my MacBook Pro so I ran Chronosync between my MacBook Pro laptop and iMac, the problem seems to have disappeared. Both computers have a working iCal now and I have my fingers crossed that they will stay so!!!

ITunes will not let restore a back up to my new iPhone.

My Iphone was recently stolen and I soon got a new one.I have tried to backup my new iPhone with an older backup that is on my computer but it will not let me do so.Does this have anything to do with the IOS 8.3 update?

Do some basic troubleshooting. Start by rebooting your computer and the phone. If the phone is updated to 8.3 it should restore. If it doesn't then the backup probably IS corrupt. Do you have an iCloud backup also that you can try?

I have the 5th Gen ipod and I went to the triple click under accessability and now it will not let me go back. Is there anyway I can fix this?

my ipod will not function very well with this

Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Next restore from backup if you have not backed up after turning it initially on.
Last, restore to factory settings/new iPod
