Calendar lost all alert files when I upgraded-..

Hello,
I use a LOT of events in Calendar that run either Applescript apps or Automator alarms.
Since I updated to Mavericks, it seems that all of the pointers to the app files are gone.
When I go in to re-establish the links to the files to "open" (Alert->Open File->"other".......)
Sometimes when I click "other", a window will open for me to navigate and select the file. That is how it should work. yay!
Except many times when I click on "other", nothing happens. If I click okay, then the default of Calendar is saved (so when the alarm fires, it opens Calendar). If I click Cancel, the whatever the default alert action (sound.....) is what is saved.
When the alarms that I have been successful about fixing do fire, they work as they should (run the applescript or automator workflow). That is good.
This seems to be specifically a Calendar issue, as most other things are working as they should.
Except a folder action to rename files dropped on it.
But that is for a different thread.
Any assistance or suggestions or insight into how to fix my Calendar would really be appreciated. My entire operation is dependent on the calendar running the Applescript or Automator apps.
Thank you very much!

No help here, but I'm having something similar to this. When I create a new Open File Alert with an Automator Calendar Workflow as the target, the alert vanishes from the event a few seconds after I save it.

I lost all my photos when I upgraded from Iphoto to Photos

I lost all my photos when I upgrade from Iphoto to photos, can I get back? please help

You need to provide more details about what happened. But, here is something you can check.
When you run Photo and it converts your library, it doesn't delete the iPhoto library. Look in your Pictures folder - you should see two libraries:
iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary (this is the original iPhoto library)
Photos Library.photoslibrary (this is the new Photos library)
You should still be able to open the original iPhoto library. The iPhoto application was not deleted from your computer. (It was probably removed from your Dock if you had an icon there.) Look in the Applications folder, find iPhoto, and run it. It should show your original library with all your original images.
It is always a good idea to back up your photos (and the iPhoto library) before trying these migrations. Problems do occur...
Hope this helps.

IPAD2 calendar lost all data after 5.1 upgrade

I just upgraded my iPad via iTunes to v5.1 today, and just like my upgrade previously to 5.01, my calendar lost all data. Somehow, I think I was able to recall the data under 5.01 whereby it just magically came back. I don't remember how it came back. How do I get my calendar data back??

1). Re how are u syncing calendar. And "info" : answer: the entire "sync calendars with .....". Box is all gray. When I click a check to the left of Sync, the Outlook field comes alive, and no other choices in that drop down field.
"All calendars" is radio buttoned, and Do not sync events older tha .30. days ischecked.
I'll now leave it like that but since I don't use OUTLOOK on mt laptop I don't see how it wll affect anything .
Further own on th screen, under ADVANCED, checking Calendars. Apparently willrlac "the selected information in this iPad with information from this omputer". I don't know how to interpret this, do you? If I check it it will get information form the computer ? What info? A previous cal data file?
2). Re page 70. If you had not told me (sent a ref URL in one of u'r replies tonite), I wouldn't have even known about the iPad 5.1 manual.
Pager 70 : I read pg 70 and don't see any related advice.
In the meantime, no data, just like the last upgrade problem. Since this is exclusively related to calendar, I must conclude whatever events file that existed was lost in the process. Although the US, FRENCH, AND GERMAN HOLIDAYS DID GET TRANSFERRED! And a recurring event file also (time card every Friday)
Ideas?

I just lost ALL my files when i updated my ipad 2 to IOS 5.0

I had over 20 GB files including music, apps and most of all tv shows, overall i lost around $300 in content i litterally have had my ipad stripped of all its media is there anyway i can get my stuff back? Or am i just screwed -_-

I lost all my apps/music as well upgrading to 5.0 on an IPAD 2. I synced up to Itunes before upgrading but all those files were lost as well. Fortunately I saved my photos/videos separately on an external hard drive. The rest of the apps, music, in app buys, books, etc were all recoverable as the App store (and others) had a list of everything I had purchased previously and I just had to re-install/load them.

Apple maps is really bad & Siri doesn't work well in my country & i lost all my books when i upgrade

The most expected app for ios6 was the new map app. It really blow my mind how bad it is: always giving bad locations, tiny streets, traffic doesn't work, BIG etc.
So, When are you planning to correct all these error?
when apple says that siri is going to be working in another countries in ios6 i was expecting location of places fixed. Didn't happened.
So when Siri is going to be completly functional in southamerican countries?
I lost ALL MY EBOOKS bought way before having an iphone. Because i trust apple upgrades i just have it on my iphone and now they are all lost!!!
really i was expecting way more from apple guys... since the death of steve jobs the changes of everything werent the expected by everyone. they are just not big enough.
i hope u work out with all these soon ... cause until now ios6 is a HUGE dissapointing.

You're not addressing apple, and none of us know the answer to those questions. I you have synchronized your iPhone before then you should have copies of your evokes. If those were purchases then they can be easily downloaded again in iBooks.
Maps is not the finest thing apple has ever done, they even acknowledge that, and there's other apps that can do the work you need, such as Waze and google maps, both are free so maybe give them a try.
Anyway, yeah. These forums are not read by apple staff members so nothing we can do.

Lost all my preferences when I upgraded to Mountain Lion.

I upgraded my Xeon to Mountain Lion from Lion
I had my System and Apps on Drive 1. I keep my data on Drive 2.
When I installed the new system the installer would not recognize Drive 1. Said it was not "journaled". It would not let me install the system without me wiping the drive. So I Installed the system on Drive 2.
How do I get the System Disk (Drive 2) to see all my old preferences?
How do I get the new system to recognize all my Apps on drive 1?
How do I get all my Mailboxes, local mail and such over to Drive 2? When I tried to import my mail the import wizard would not recognize Drive 1.
Thanks very much for the help.

I would
1. Boot from disk 1 to your old operating system
2. Get another external disk that us the same size in gb
3. Format the external disk as mac osx extended journaled using disk utility
4. Get SuperDuper (free) and clone your disk 1 to the external
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
5. Once disk 1 is cloned to your external check you can boot from external disk
6. Once booted from external disk then do an upgrade
7. After making sure all is ok on booted external then use SuperDuper to clone from external to disk 1
8. Boot to disk 1 after cloned and check again.

HT4061 I lost all my apps when I upgraded my software

I upgraded my software and lost some apps.

I tried this and it did not work for. When I go to the APP Store it think the apps are on my devide so I cannot download them again unfortunately I cannot find teh apps on my devide even if I search for them.
ALso if I re-sync with itunes the apps reinstall but immediately disappear after the install completes.
Neat trick but incredibly annoying.
Any know my next option.

Need to restore from and older backup because I lost all my contacts when I upgraded my phone

my backup that was created is saying it needs a password and I didn't give it one. Which password is it requesting? Also the second question is how do I restore from a old back up, I am needing to get my contacts back.

If the backup is asking for a password you may have turned on backup file encryption. If this is the case, and you don't remember the encryption password you could be out of luck.

I lost all my bookmarks when I upgraded to 3.6.8 and Firefox was not at all helpful. How can I get my bookmarks back?

I tried the torbutton suggestion from firefox, but there was no torbutton or explanation of how to get one. I installed a torbutton and that did nothing. I am at a loss.

It shows "You do not have any purchased apps available to download" Can I show apple the credit card receipts for apps purchased from them? How would I find any previous account login info?

HT201272 I lost all my files after dowloading Icloud and updating Itunes on 24 September 13. having reloaded the computer and and files from an Emergency Backup folder I can no longer see My Library in Itunes or in Itunes store, and my ipod and ipad aren

can anyone help with retrieving My Library in Itunes and Itunes store - having updated Itunes and Icloud on 24 September 13, my computer failed and I lost all my files which were eventually backed up to an Emergency Backup. my computer is now working again and I have down loaded Itunes and transferred all the files from my Emergency Backup. Non of the music went back into Itunes, so I had to find these files and manually moved them to Itunes. The music is now in Itunes, but I no longer have the folder named My Library, which I think is the reason my Ipad, ipod no longer sync any additional music I have added to Itunes. Does anyone know how to rectify this please.
Many thanks. Crusey

iTunes expects files and folders to be in very specific locations. When you start iTunes it looks for a file called library.itl which is in the iTunes folder. It then uses all the references in that file which tell it where all your media files are located to build up the view you normally see. Probably you moved the library file so iTunes cannot find it and it will make a default one which is empty. When you plug in your iPod it isn't recognizing the library since it is not the same one to which you synced last.
Simply put, you need to undo all your file moves. Not as eaily done as stated but since I cannot quite see from here exactly what you spent an hour doing last night it will be up to you. Did you make a backup before doing all this?

My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud. My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced. I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?

The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.
