Why does the iCal app on my MacBook Pro only have a 2-year archive? Where did everything before that go? And can I get it back?

I use my iCal as a daybook and every now and again need to reference events or occurences from several years ago. I tried to look something up from back in 2010 and the iCal on my MacBook Pro only has iCal data from Jan 1, 2011 onwards. Everything I've put in prior to that seems to have disappeared! I can't find anything under preferences that mentions archiving/storage. Can I change the setting so that this info is kept forever? And can I get my previous info back?

You can only sync with one computer. When you synced to the new computer it would have erased it and synced what was on the new computer.
You always need to have a backup, an iPhone is not a storage device.
When you get a new computer you need to transfer your library before syncing
If you don't have a backup you may be out of luck
The only thing would be if you're in the US and have access to the iCloud beta to reload purchases

  • Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

    Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

    Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
    And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    if you have one already you can rename either one ..
    and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
    you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
    This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

  • Why does the sound on my 2011 MacBook Pro keep dropping out?

    Over the past couple of days the sound drops out on my 2011 MacBook Pro. It start about 30 minutes after I've switched on the computer and then keeps on happening every 3-4 seconds. What could be the problem?
    I've got a 13" MacBook Pro early 2011, 2.3 GHz.

    Hi A,
    You are still covered under the Apple warranty. I would contact AppleCare or make an appointment at a "genius" bar.

  • Why does the Mail.app CC: field puts me first on the CC: list although I was not ?

    Why does the Mail.app CC: field always rearranges the list so I am first on the CC: list although the sender intentionally did not ?
    I did not see how and where to de-activate this unnecessary intrusion in the company's communication codes.
    iOS on my iphone, correctly leaves my name where it is in the CC: list.

    Hi starbux48,
    Yahoo! partnered with Apple to allow an IMAP style offering on the iPhone, free of charge for their users. However that feature is only available if you use the iPhone. If you want IMAP/POP access on computers then you'd need to upgrade to the Plus level account.

  • Why does the youtube app doesn't play in HD?

    Why does the youtube app doesn't play in HD? I couldn't find any option of changing the stream option also. Please help!

    Me too, ipad mini can't get YouTube app to function via the official app and the same error message," ...tap to retry", but to no avail. The app launches but it will not allow me to sign in. The drop arrow just tilts up and down and ...nothing. I can still access YouTube through Safari browser but strange, I can't find a solution to the app not opening or being able to sign in on either ipad mini or phone even though they are up to date apps.

  • Why does the store app keeps loading and doesn't work ?

    why does the store app keeps loading and doesn't work ?

    Hi Peter,
    In order to analyze your issue better, we need more detailed information.
    Did you mean when you launch the Windows store app, the app can't start? Was there any prompt message or error code? Did this issue occur on all Windows Store app or specific one?

  • I cannot repair the HD even from the installation cd of a macbook pro (i have macbbook with Snow Leopard). Even more, i cannot reboot from the HD to export the cd etc... Can you please help?

    History:
    Started with stucking. No sesponse to any attempt than force quit.
    When i checked the disc, replied: nod fail, repair with installation cd. Sth like that.
    I borrowed the installation disc of a macbook pro (i have macbook). I run the utilities to repair the disc 2 times. Failed. After i didn't know how to take out the cd. I had to force quit.
    Then, at start, it takes 10-15 minutes with the Apple sign and a small silver bar, until it switch of by itself. I repeated the procedure 10 times totaly, the same!
    Sime times, when i start from the installation cd ( i hold "c" at the start), it does'n "see" the hard drive to start up with.
    Important detail: When i run the disc repair operation from the Disc Utility of the Installation cd, on the column of the volumes, the "HD Macintosh" characters are grey, whether others are normaly black.
    Budget detail: i don't have money to buy products etc, so i count on your advises!!! I prepare a performance though, soon, and i can add the trademark of the sponsor, if somebody is interested... All the data in the computer are about this work, so i cannot risk to lose them.
    Thank you in advance!

    It sounds as if your MacBook's hard drive is dead, or possibly dying. Replacement drives are fairly inexpensive. You'll need an install DVD like the one that came with the MacBook. Contact Apple via expresslane.apple.com to order a new set. Once you have the machine up and running, restore your data from your backups. If you don't have backups, contact a data recovery outfit to see what they can get off of your old hard drive.
    Backups are important!
    Best of luck.

  • Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • Since the Yosemite upgrade on my macbook pro I have not been able to sync with my Nokia Lumia

    Since the Yosemite upgrade on my macbook pro I have not been able to sync with my Nokia Lumia and assume that this is an Apple issue?

    Two immediate questions:
    1. Why is this posted in Servers and Enterprise Software?
    2. What has this to do with Apple Remote Desktop?
    If you have posted incorrectly, then you should try posting this in the proper forum.

    J'ai changé mon id. Je veux mettre à jour mes appli mais on me demande le pwd de mon ancien id que j'ai oublié. Je ne peux pas le récupérer. Il semblerait que mon ancien id n'existe plus. que dois je faire?

    Did yoo go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in?

    Hello andytuveson, right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip and uncheck Menu Bar in the pop-up menu.
