All iCal data disappears after 10.4.3 update

After updating to 10.4.3 all my iCal data was gone. I restored it using Backup and when I launched iCal it all appeared as normal—and then a few seconds later, poof, it all disappeared again right before my eyes. I tried making a new entry and at first it didn't seem to work, then all my iCal data reappeared for a few seconds, only to disappear again a few seconds later, leaving iCal "virgin" as if no entry had ever been made.
The current iCal version is 2.0.3. I have tried erasing preferences and starting over again to no avail. I have also repaired the disk and the permissions with no improvement.
Any suggestions anyone? This is one of the strangest OS X problems I have ever encountered.

Yes,,, how did you solve the problem specifically from all the suggestions you got?
I got a whole new powermac and used the migration assistant, but that didnt bring the information over for some reason (regarding iCal atleast, and some small unimportant pref files).
I tried faking a 'subscribe' situation, a drag and drop, emailing the ics file, manually inputting them into the new machine's folder and so on but no go. And I dont have a .mac account to try pushing them over...

All mail folder disappeared after 10.9.2 update.

After the 10.9.2 updtae all my mail sub-folders dissapered from my Mac Mail.
I can still find them in the library/mail. But when i Import them from there, they come up with all kinds of sub-folders with strange names.
Anyone know how to fix?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I upgraded to 10.5.1 and all my music disappeared after syncing. How do I get it back?

i upgraded iTunes to 10.5.1 and all my music disappeared after syncing. How do I get it back?

I lost all my music, too - except for 3 pieces!? And I just upgraded, didn't choose sync'ing :-(((
Sure would like to get back my music, videos and playlists!
Most of it was my personal compositions/recordings, not bought at the iTunes store.

tried on a different mac. The same problem exists.
If that is the case, its extremely unlikely you have a bad USB cable on the seagate, rather as I mentioned earlier a bad SATA bridge card.
If the Seagate 1TB USB external wont open on either Mac and youve verified same (try a diff. USB cable if you have one however this is nearly never the case),....then to get the data off that HD (unless it is dead which is also extremely unlikely),......then you would need to extract the HD from its case and insert same into either a HD dock or USB HD enclosure.
8 out of 10 seemingly dead inopperable 1-3+ year old external HD are perfectly fine, rather the cheap 50 cent SATA bridge card fries and dies (alas)
reply back if you need help in extracting same.

All my Photos disappeared after I saved a photo from an email from my wife. I am running Mountain lion on Mac book pro 2012, help. What did I do wrong?

All my Photos disappeared after I saved a photo to Iphoto from an email from my wife. I am running Mountain lion on Mac book pro 2012, help. What did I do wrong?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

All my Notes disappeared after ICloud upgrade

All my Notes disappeared after ICloud upgrade. I cannot find them, nor a way to recover them from backups? Any ideas? This is a BIG hiccup!

I posted this on another discussion:
Similar problem: I was at a store today and went to my Notes on iPhone 3GS to look up information recorded there about medications for an aging parent. I am syncing through iCloud so the same notes are on my iPhone, iPad 1, and desktop Mac (in Mail). I opened one note, but it didn't have the information I needed, so I went back to the main Notes list and picked another of the dozen notes. I was scrolling down through that note and then suddenly....poof....the note was gone. ALL the notes were gone. The note pad said NO NOTES. ***???!!!!
They were gone from my iPad, too. The notes represent information gathered and organized from multiple years (with no problems until now). The notes are information I NEED. I created a test note, it showed up on my devices. Then I chose to delete it to see if a single key click could do that. The app requires a second click on a Delete Note button as confirmation. And there's no way to delete ALL notes while viewing a single note, deliberately OR accidentally.
Any suggestions about how to recover the notes lost today? Thanks in advance.

All calendar data disappeared and no TC backup calendar folder.

All calendar data disappeared from two iphone5's, ipad 2, iMac and a PC simultaneously. Apple folks are stumped. Went to Time Capsule to look for calendar backups. All iMac backups are there, but no calendar folder. And suggestions or thoughts?

Turned out that Apple tech support folks were the only solution possible. Tried to restore calendar via TC, but calendar folder not visible and not instruction how to make it so. New OS has made that folder not readily visible to the average, but tech support came up with a work around that is far too complicated to explain here. Just give them a call. Marvelous folks, and they live and work in the US of A!

IPad showed iOS notification I declined and it still showed one. All of the sudden after a month it updated?

iPad showed iOS notification I declined and it still showed one. All of the sudden after a month it updated?

X11 disappearance after 10.4.11 update

X11 app disappeared after 10.4.11 update.
Spotlight can't find it on the hard drive.
Trying to re-install => error message "later version of X11 still installed...".
Thanks for your help

Finally, I've got the solution by re-installing X11 from the original DVD (and not from a downloaded package).
R is now running.

ICal data unavailable after volume restore

I recently used ASR to create an image of a data partition of a server. The data partition in question also held the iCal Server data store. After installing new drives, I restored this partition with ASR, and all the ACLs were gone from all the files (that may be normal, but it was annoying). But the real problem: nobody on the client machines can see their calendars - they don't show up in the list under their account descriptions.
I've run proxyclean, but nothing needed cleaning. It's clearly a permissions problem, I just cant figure out where.
Data store location in ical reads "/Volumes/Data/iCalData/CalendarServer/Documents"
*Perms for those folders:*
drwxrwxrwx@ 4 diradmin staff 136 Jun 8 15:25 iCalData

I have also seen this problem.
My fix for it was to get the iCal package off the install CD.
To do this, download a program called Pacifist. What it does is it reads the install disc, and finds all the packages that the programs are in.
It is really handy for installing individual apps.
Once you have extracted the package, install it as usual. Then you should see all you data back in iCal, until it breaks again.
Note: This is not really a fix, rather a way to get iCal working again.
I have also seen this problem happen when there was no update done, or rather the update was done a month before the problem occurred. This was a real fail update by apple and i hope they make a fix for it in the next update, although now that Snow Leopard is out, your probably won't wee any more fixes, as they will be too busy patching up 10.6, already up to 10.6.2

Ical data missing after OS 10.5.8 update

all of my ical data is missing after OS 10.5.8 update. also must force quit. unfortunately i am not able to access my backup due to problems with disc not being recognized and timemachine.... aack ( this problem occurred prior to update)..... i have my data on my ipod so i'm not completely *... but is there some way to restore my calendar without using my backup?.... is my info still there somewhere in my HD?...
i am using a 24" imac intel core duo processor 2.4 ghz 4MG ram
thanks.... this happened to me before when i installed the 10.5.7 update.... but i luckily had my backup to go into at that time...

My iCal data disappeared! What happened?

All of my calendar data disappeared in my iCal app. What happened? How do I get it back?!!
I changed nothing, upgraded nothing. I just turned the Mac Air on this morning and... nothing. My data seems to still be on my iPhone but I am afraid to sync for fear of losing everything on every device.
Has anyone else had this happen?

EA2 export data disappears after error

The export data menu item in the result set context menu disappears after you created an error. E.g. after sending the following statement:
select dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy from dual;
The call of "export data" raises an error message that the identifier for the column is too long. After that, the menu item "export data" is gone.
Regards,
Sven

Skutz,
Thanks for the response.
Yes, the problem with the export menu option disappearing is fixed with EA3.
As to when the error with the long column names not being able to be exported was previously fixed, I saw the problem (ORA-00972 with the example query given) from versions 1422 through 2579, but not in the subsequent version (2998?) where it was fixed to not cause the error.
On not wanting to rewrite my original base query - SQL Developer is already rewriting it, which is what is causing this problem. I assume the rewrite you are doing simplifies the case where only some of the columns are exported.
My query is, for example:
select dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy from dual
This runs fine and produces the expected result. SQL Developer's query for exporting is (from what you have said), in that example:
select "DUMMY||DUMMY||DUMMY||DUMMY||DUMMY||DUMMY" from
(select dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy|| dummy from dual)
This fails with the "ORA-00972" error, preventing me from using the export functionality for a query that I can run successfully.
I know that the work around is to provide an alias for the column, but the fact that I can apply a work around to my query doesn't change my opinion that it is SQL Developer code that is doing the wrong thing with my query (a bug to me) that is preventing me from being able to us the export functionality for that query.
It is a relatively minor thing, but another example of something that you would expect to work (it certainly does in TOAD) which takes some of the shine off a basically good product.

When IOS5 is ready to install , will all my data disappear ?

I have an Ipad 2 , with the latest IOS 4.3.3 .. When IOS 5 is ready to install on ipad2 & to be upgraded on my ipad , will all my data ( apps , images & etc ) will disappear ?
Thanks

I lost all my apps and all my data, including email messages. I do backup my apps but since the iOS updates said it was restoring my iPad I thought it restored my apps and data as well.
Wrong. It only restores standard iPad apps and their data, it doesn't even restore iBooks. What a stupid software update! I don't know why it doesn't automatically restore the other apps and data but it should at least throw up a dialog box to ask you if you want to restore your purchased apps and their data.
The other ridiculous thing about it is that you never have to restore apps when you update MacOS so why does iOS need to wipe the whole system and files to update? Seems to me iOS developers are not trying hard enough.
This whole experience is really putting me off.

Has anyone had all text messages disappear after upgrading iOS6 on iPhone 4?

My Text text message screen froze. I restarted my phone at which time all of my text messages and iMessages were wiped clean.

Here is an idea, copy your important texts in notes so u can sync them. If you keep texts that long save them that way. I thought all texts were erased after an update anyway, maybe I am wrong but then again I don't keep texts forever.
