Calendar missing from iCal's list.

Noticed today that our Work calendar is missing from iCal's list. Checked partner's iMac, iPad, 2 iPhones, MobileMe. Missing from all of them. Turned off syncing with MobileMe on both iMacs & all other devices. Quit iCal/Calendar on everything.
In Finder window selected ~/Library. Entered Time Machine. Selected ~/Library/Calendars. Selected a timeline a few days back. Clicked Restore. Said 'Keep both', & removed original from Library folder.
Opened iCal. When it first loaded the calendars, Work was there, but it quickly disappeared and what's more, events added in other calendars since the timeline date chosen were there too. So there's something else (to do with Sync Services?) I need to turn off or delete....?
I'll be very grateful for enlightenment here.
OS is 10.6.8

These are evidently MobileMe calendars, to which the Apple Tech Note linked to above does not apply; and turning off syncing in System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync has no effect on iCal syncing which no longer uses that method.
This is why your calendar is disappearing: MobileMe sees it as deleted, so every time you add it back in from Time Machine (whereupon it has an earlier modification date than the deletion) MobileMe brings it up to date by deleting it, and also updates the other calendars.
There is a method for dealing with this issue, though it's a trifle complicated and you need to work through the steps carefully and exactly. The process is detailed here:

Home and Work Calendars missing from iCal

Help - i logged into iCal this morning and all my calendars had disappeared - apart from my Outlook calendar which i synced form my work pc using Mobile Me yesterday.
When i first set up Mobile me, i had all my calendars. Will i be able to get my Home and Work calendars back?

Thanks for the advice Ferd - on further investigation i suspect it was another programme - The Hit List - which i had set to sync with iCal that may have caused the issue. But the crisis has had a silver lining - i realised i was overcomplicating things anyway, and have now set up new calendars syncing only to my Sony W595 mobile phone
Thanks again for your help.

Adobe reader plugin missing from firefox plugins list on redhat 6.1

Hello,
I'm having a problem with putting adobe reader 9 plugin installed on firefox 3.6.17 on redhat 6.1 (64bit)
(Not recreatable on redhat 5.4 with same versions of reader and firefox)
Even though nppdf.so appears in the directory /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory with 755 permissions,
when I start firefox, it is missing from the plugins list.
How can I ensure it is properly installed or what steps can I take to debug the problem deeper?
Thanks!!

Rogue calendar entries from iCal

Let's start with the environment: using a Mac formatted 2nd generation iPod nano. Also use v2.0.4 iCal and v7.0.2 iTunes.
Here's the problem: After syncing using iTunes I have a calendar entry that shows up on the iPod starting on and repeating for every day after January 17, 2007. This entry does NOT exist in iCal. I have deleted the database from the iPod memory then resynced the iPod, but this hasn't helped. If I unselect the calendar with the bad entry from the iTunes sync screen, the rogue entries disappear from the iPod. Conversely, if I only select the calendar with the bad entry, they show up on the iPod again. So the bad entries definitely have something to do with that particular calendar in iCal. I've searched the Net but haven't been able to find a report of anything similar.
Another fun fact is that I exported the "bad" calendar from iCal then imported it under a different name. The rogue entries show up on the iPod for this "new" calendar.
Any ideas or suggestions from you smart people?

Hi, can anyone help? Does apple offer any support in their own 'communities' - still experiencing this probelm & I've had no acknowledgement or anything from anyone at apple or anyone at all......help please - I thought this avenue was going to prove to be very helpful & as a first-time user (as I very rarely have any issues with apple) I must say I'm really disappointed.

Can't receive calendar request from ical (MAC) in MS Outlook 2010

We have local calendar in outlook and ical from MAC users. Now i am not able to receive calendar/meeting request in outlook 2010 from ical (MAC) users, nor they are able to receive my calendar/meeting request.

What's your account type in your Outlook? Does the issue only happen to meeting request? How about sending or receiveing emails?
Please check whether the meeting request can be send and receive in Webmail. Also check whether you can send/receive meeting request from Windows users.

"events" is missing from iPhoto source list / left-hand menu

The "events" menu option is suddenly missing from the left-hand side menu of my iPhoto library. See screenshot:
Photos, Faces, Places, but no Events! It used to be there and now it's not, not sure what happened. When I open a different iPhoto library it is there, so it seems like a problem with my iPhoto library? I tried rebuilding the iPhoto database and that didn't fix it. The event data still seems to be there, when I browse the photos view pictures are still grouped by events. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm using iPhoto v 9.6 on Yosemite. Thanks in advance for your help!

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Creating New Smart Playlist by Album name - Missing From Drop Down List

I hope i'm not the only person with this issue but since upgrading to Windows Vista i have noticed a very annoying little bug with iTunes.
When trying to create a Smart Playlist there is no longer the option from the dropdown list to create a smartplaylist using the perameter 'Album'.
Any lists created when my PC was using XP still have the correct parameters in place but you cannot create any ne ones.
I have tried creating a new library without success. If i revert back to XP there is no problem.
Are Apple aware of this issue? If not, how do i contact them to report this bug?

Calendar missing from "all" navigation bar

Probably after an incidental pushing of keys, yesterday my 9360 decided to make "calendar" disappear from "all" navigation bar. Calendar icon and application is still reachable on "favourites" and "frequent". Already tried a hard reset taking away the battery. Any idea?

What's the URL of your site so we can view the problem first hand?

Calendars and events are missing from iCal

What happened was I closed the lid of my MacBook Pro to put it to sleep. When I opened the lid to wake it, the screen was dark, like it was between 0 brightness and the lowest brightness setting. It also was not responding to trackpad or keyboard input, so I restarted it. However, when my computer started up, it seems as if my Mail.app had reset and everything was gone from my iCal. With Mail.app, after I redid one account, it seemed to return to normal. With iCal, I tried to sync it with my Palm, hoping that my calendars and events would get transferred to iCal. However, that didn't work, and I am getting errors with Missing Sync. The errors I'm getting are:
OK TimeCopy
OK Mark/Space Conduit for AvantGo
OK Mark/Space Contacts
SyncClient error. Mingling failed.
OK Mark/Space Events with 1 message(s)
No folders have been selected to synchronize.
OK Mark/Space Folder Sync
OK Mark/Space MemoPad
OK Mark/Space Photos
This conduit cannot be synchronized because there are no writable calendars available to synchronize. To correct this, select a writable calendar in the conduit's configuration window.
No writable calendars exist
OK Mark/Space Tasks with 2 message(s)
OK Adobe Reader
OK Documents To Go
OK Note Pad
Anyone have ideas where the issue is?

If you want to use your back up you need to restore then entire Library from Time Machine, and then replace the damaged Library with it.

Sidebar missing from iCal in Lion - seeking a third party product to restore lost functionality

Apple has removed the sidebar, the always-on list of calendars that required no click.
The shallow popover that appears only when clicked — obscuring part of the calendar before disappearing — is to me (and some others) an unacceptable substitute for working with multiple calendars, especially where calendars are grouped across multiple servers.
I'm aware of third party alternatives to iCal. (Most full-featured calendar interfaces do have an always-on full-height list of calendars. Probably the best known alternative to iCal is BusyCal.)
This topic does not seek alternatives; I do wish to continue using iCal, albeit in a way that is less frustrating than what Apple forces upon users of 10.7.
This topic seeks:
a third party product that will restore lost functionality to iCal.
To any developer who reads this topic: please, I beg you, on my knees, submit your iCal sidebar app — or whatever you wish to call it — to the App Store as soon as you can. I'll gladly pay, and more than gladly help to test any pre-Store development version.
Other readers please note: whilst I'm extraordinarily frustrated by Apple's design decision, this is not an invitation to rant. Let's gain something constructive from this discussion.
If you wish Apple to restore the sidebar to iCal, as an option, then please:
submit iCal feedback to Apple, with your use case; explain why for you personally the limited disappearing popover is a poor substitute; explain how the sidebar will improve both (a) your productivity and (b) your appreciation of Apple's software.
Side note: no category includes iCal, so I file this opening post under Using Mac OS X v10.7 Lion.
Thank you
Graham

the new way
Many things in the new iCal are beautifully designed. I am certain that the new iCal will be enjoyed by people who use the new multi-session screen sharing for Mac OS on iOS (that should be a separate topic).
iCal's aqua popover default may be perfect for people who have only a handful of calendars.
Critically
The new design fails completely to offer an always-on full-height list of calendars — invaluable when working with more than a handful of things.
The screenshot below, taken whilst evaluating BusyCal, shows a subset of my list of calendars (more than the average user, that's why an always-on list is so valuable). In shot: three accounts on a CalDAV server. I have other, lesser used accounts on other CalDAV servers. Also some use of Exchange servers. My own case is extreme but there's a guiding principle for a variety of use cases:
some users need to see the list of calendars all the time.
What's exmplified below has become impossible in iCal 5.0 (1535) in Mac OS X 10.7 (Build 11A511).
I plead with Apple, or a third party developer, to restore the sidebar list of calendars to iCal.
Apple's limitation is acceptable when the user has only two calendars —
— but for some other classes of user, completely inappropriate.
The percentage of users troubled by the loss of functionality may be less than the percentage enjoying the popover, but that in itself does not reduce the trouble, the frustration.
The sidebar was present in 10.4, removed in 10.5. Many users of 10.5 complained.
The sidebar reappeared in 10.6. Removal in 10.7 is almost completely dumbfounding.
I would like to say, "give it time — the more you use it, the more it will be appreciated" but for me this is not true. For some weeks I tried to work with this build of iCal and the more I used it, the greater the frustration. I grew to avoid iCal.
In most ways the feature set of iCal is unequalled. Support for many standards is excellent. The removal of the sidebar is a blight on this brilliance.
I plead with Apple or a third party developer to fix this at the earliest opportunity. I want Apple iCal — but user-friendly, not crippled.

Archive old Google Calendar events from iCal 4?

I have 8 Google calendars filled with events going back years. It's too big and I want to thin it out by archiving all events older than two years. I'll do it manually, but I can't find a way that works. I haven't found any way within Google to do it and to do it manually from within Google, you have to select each event separately. Too much work.
To do it for a Mobile Me calendar, I can just:
- Create a corresponding archive calendar (ie, Archive Personal for my Personal calendar) that is On My Mac
- Select only one calendar to view (Personal)
- List all events by typing a period in the search bar
- Select all events in the list that I want to move
- Right click or control click one of those selected events in the calendar (not the list) and choose the calendar Archive Personal to move it to
For the Mobile Me calendar, the events are moved to the Archive Personal calendar and removed from the Mobile Me calendar. Perfect.
When I try that with a Google calendar, it all seems to work in iCal, but the event remains on the Google calendar. No good.
I tried another way...
- I exported one of the calendars from Google into an Archive calendar On My Mac
- I was planning to delete everything after a certain date on the Archive calendar and delete everything before a certain date on the Google calendar, but when you search for all of the events in the Archive calendar On My Mac, it shows duplicates of every event. Somehow it's showing the Google calendar events as well as the archive calendar events even though the archive is the only calendar selected. The search should only result in events from that calendar!
Also, searching for a list of all events in a calendar in iCal 4.04 doesn't work too well. Once you move events, the update of the list is spotty. To really see what is left in the calendar, you need to quit iCal and restart it and do the search over again. Hopefully that's fixed in the Lion version!
If anyone can think of a solution to accomplish this — any better way to archive off old events from a Google calendar, I would appreciate it!

I just started using MobileMe yesterday and have a similar issue. The only past events in my iPhone are recurring events like birthdays. None of my old one-time events synced to the iPhone. Fortunately, they're all still in iCal (local and online). Does anyone have tips on how to get all events, past, present, and future on the iPhone?

Text missing from iCal

Hi Everyone,
I recently typed in a lot of text in my iCal giving details on specific events that take place for several hours. When I came back in today and opened my iCal I found that half of the longer explanations in calendar events was gone and replaced by elipses. Can someone tell me how to keep this from happening? And if it's possible to get all the text back that I put in?
Thanks!

Remember, layout in landscape and edit content in portrait.
Check in both.
If you like, you can disable Portrait in the Inspector.

Why is Easter 2013 missing from iCal

I noticed that many other days are listed on the 2013 calendar, ie:
Ground Hog day
St. Patricks day
Presidents day
Valentines day
April Fools day
But I don't see EASTER (March 31st) listed and wonder why not?

Gone, *poof*.
I miss it and I think Apple should have kept it around as it's low key machine, great for kids and adults who didn't like a lot of flash.
Now the 13" MacBook Pro is considered the equivalent on a similar performance basis, however it has the bright silver rich looking case that draws thieves attention and really isn't a "Pro" machine at all with it's inferior low performing integrated graphics.
Heck most $500-$800 Windows laptops are just the same in performance and has a larger 15" screen.
If you need a anti-glare screen you have to opt for the 15" or 17" MacBook Pro and pay $50 more for the anti-glare, but it's worth it. The 13" doesn't have a anti-glare option, but we are petitioning Apple to include that option.
I think Apple considered the MacBook as a educational computer, thus replaced it for a line of iPads which make considerable more margins and provides less hardware benefits as all the hardware features, stand, keyboard etc. are separate purchases.

Calendar missing from N95 Active Standby

I'm really hoping someone can shed some light on this ... I had my active standby activated on my N95, all fine. Then I turned it off recently. I went to switch it back on, and the calendar's missing! It gives me no options to be able to switch it back on! I've tried a factory reset (under Tools/Settings/General) but that hasn't helped. Tried to see if there was a Software or Firmware upgrade, but apparently my phone is all up to date. Any ideas? Anyone? (I know this seems like a weird request, as there are HEAPS of posts asking how to get rid of the calendar on active standby, but the fact I didn't change anything & it's just done it is concerning.)

Back up all your data to your PC using PC Suite's content copier, and then shut down your phone. Hold down 3 buttons: GREEN, 3 & * while switching on your phone. Make sure don't release your fingers till the phone ask for pin. You'll lose everything that's on your phone memory, and if you restore that from a back up, you'll be back to where you started, but this seems to have worked. You'll also lose things that your network operator may have installed. But oh well. Still no idea why it happened in the first place though!
