Calendar no longer pops up a message

I have used iCal and now Calendar for many years. For every event, I choose to show "Message with Sound" for the alert. In the past few weeks, I noticed I no longer get any on-screen pop-up message. Not sure of the proper term for that, but my choice for each event is the same: "Message with Sound", so maybe it is called "message". I do get the sound alert, just am now missing the tiny even message window that used to pop up.
Here is an odd chain of events...
I looked in ~/Preferences to try trashing something, found only "com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist" as an obvious choice. I expected to find com.apple.Calendar.plist, but no such file. When I launched Calendar, it showed no change at all in any of my preference settings, and I do have several settings that are not default, such as "Start week on Monday" and "Alerts > Event: At time of event" instead of 15 minutes before.
After re-launching Calendar, I noticed a new file, "com.apple.Calendar.plist" appeared in ~/Preferences. I always use column view, so it isn't possible that i missed it before; this file was not there before. Nonetheless, the alert sounds with no message window issue continues.
Does anyone know how to restore the alert window?

As always, I have no "Edit" button even one minute after posting, so I reply to my own post. I did also trash "com.apple.Calendar.plist", no change at all either in my chosen preferences or in the missing messages issue,

    1. Try reinstall iLIfe 09 from your install disk
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
    If that fails, then you're reinstalling the OS.

  • Pop-up error messages when running a script?? make them go away!

    v1.5.1, build 5440.
    I've been running a development setup script for some months now.
    It has errors in it, it creates synonyms or grants for objects that no longer exist. ( It's not been worth my time to correct it, because I just run it and ignore the errors for now. I'll tidy up when I'm building the installers.)
    Suddenly, today, sql developer has decided to pop-up a message window to tell me about each error. I have to press ok for it to continue. On top of the annoyance factor that a task that took 5 seconds now takes 60, the message is totally useless because it doesn't tell me which object does not exist! In other words, I will still have to read the output log anyway!
    I haven't changed any of my settings, though I did have to restore to an old version of my connections file when it got corrupted (again).
    So, why/how did these messages decide to show up, and more importantly, how can I make them go away?

    You could check with [http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/helpcentral/ Yahoo Help] to see if other users have seen this problem with Yahoo Mail ... for example, I found [http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111027204141AANNBYY this] where a user had a similar problem that had to do with Messenger contacts:
    Thanks for this. Follow-up: Found out 15' ago after a lot of clickety-click that you can mousey up to the upper left of the screen. Click "Options." If you see a "Messenger" option, then open that up and select "only my Contacts can message me." That seems to have gotten rid of "yummicrush698."

  • Calendars no longer sync across devices after iOS/Mac OS X updates

    Ever since updating my MacBook Air to Yosemite and my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.0.2 (or maybe 8.1.1), my calendars no longer sync correctly across devices. Prior to the updates, any addition or change I made to the calendar on my iPhone would be added to the calendar on my Mac the next time I synced my phone. Now I have duplicate events on my phone, the calendar on my Mac no longer incorporates changes from the phone and I get a dialog box on the Mac 2-3 times an hour about calendar conflicts. No matter how many times I review the conflicts and choose which events/updates to save, the box keeps coming back. I've never had a persistent issue like this with any previous iOS or Mac OS updates and I can't figure out why it won't stop. Help, please!

    OK, that was easy enough. Here's what I took from the log when I synced a few minutes ago. I kept the log entry for one of the multiple calendar sync conflicts.

  • How long does Mail save messages?

    How long does Mail save messages? What happens to them at the end of that period?

    Depends. If you have a POP account and download your messages, then they are on your hard drive until you delete them. However, unless you enable the option to save email messages on the server once downloaded the message are deleted from the server immediately. Your email ISP may retain backups for some period of time, but you would need to ask them about it.
    If you have and IMAP account your messages are saved on the server unless you delete them. They will be retained on the server indefinitely.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite, my Exchange calendar no longer syncs to iCal (the Apple calendar). Help?

    After upgrading to Yosemite, my Exchange calendar no longer syncs to iCal (the Apple calendar). Help?

    That's not the point.    Before iCloud, Outlook synched with Apple Calendar and/or iCal.    With iCloud, Cal syncs with iPhone and other devices.     Outlook doesn't have to sync with iCloud (although that would certainly be nice).   It just has to continue to sync with Cal, which in turn syncs with devices via iCloud.
    But for some inane reason, it doesn't.    If this is Apple's way of forcing people to not use Office and only use Calendar and Apple Mail, they are going to stop the gains they've made in business environments.   Businesses, especially large businesses, use Outlook.   End of story.
    Furthermore, Apple's instructions for setting up or deleting iCal and iCloud accounts is complete gibberish.  And I'm a tech who has been working with computers for 32 years.   Apple used to be great at making things easy.  They now suck at it and are just as bad as Microsoft.

  • My iPod Touch calendar no longer receives updates

    My iPod Touch calendar no longer receives updates from the calendar program in my MacBook.  Used to work fine, via iTunes synch.  Have I inadvertently turned that function off?

    I too have an older iPod. I do not care much for iCloud or any cloud so what I do is send my calendar to my e-mail and then open it on my iPod. I send Contacts using Adobe and, for me, it works fine. If you are in business and use these apps frequenctly I do not think this would work well for you. Only two options, iCloud or a Server.

  • After my software update, my calendar no longer syncs w my PC

    After my recent update to IOS6, my calendar no longer syncs with my PC, yet my iPod touch is fine.

    Make sure you are running the latest version of iCloud control panel for Windows (ver. 4) by running Apple Software Update and installing any available updates.  If you install an update, restart your PC, then try calendar syncing again.
    If that wasn't the issue, try force-closing the calendar app on your iPad (double-tap the home button, swipe up on the calendar app, tap the home button again), then reset your iPad (hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release).  After it restarts, try adding a new calendar event and see if it appears on your PC now.
    If not, try going to Settings>iCloud on your iPad, tap Sign Out, choose Delete from My iPad and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud).  Then reset your iPad again and test calendar syncing.

  • I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account. I can still send e-mail messages, though. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my account. I have changed my password, but wonder how to start receiving mail again?

    I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account, though I still seem to be able to send messages. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my Mail account (my LinkedIn and Facebook accounts were both hacked three days ago and a scam/phishing message sent to my contacts, and I know there was at least an attempt made to hack into one of my e-mail accounts). I have already changed my Apple password, but how do I start receiving mail again?
    (And I should also say that I'm a little surprised there was no alert from Apple of suspicious activity on my account, if such was the case. Instead, when I logged into my account via Mobile Me three days ago I noticed that all messages in my inbox were gone as well as all of my contacts. I assume this was related to the current problem.)
    Thanks for all responses.

    The problem has been solved with the help of a MobileMe online counsellor. My MobileMe account had in fact been hacked into and the fraudster had been redirecting my e-mail messages to a phony account that he controlled. We took the forward off and reset all my passwords and security questions, which solved the immediate problem.
    Thx.
