Calendars lose events

Why has iCal suddenly lost most of my events?
How can I restore them?

Just found out a way to restore it, I had the same problem.
1) Using the time machine backup, get your calendar files (<hard drive>/Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/iCal /Sources/Calendars) then exit time machine
2) Open Calendar and export a Calendar Archive to your desktop or wherever
3) right click the .icbu file, show package contents, and then replace the Calendar folder with the one retrieved from the time machine back up.
4) Import the file in Calendar, and boom. Old calendars and events are back.

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

Solutions?

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

Looking for a Calendar-of-events to use in Muse

I am designing a website for an organization that wants to include their training schedule in a calendar of events. My understanding is that Muse does not have that function at this time. Can anyone recommend a third party software that can accomplish this?

Hello,
In case your website is being hosted on Business Catalyst, you can use the Events module from Adobe Muse to get a calender with schedule.
You need to create the events in Business Catalyst and use the module in Adobe Muse. This is what Adobe recommends. There is no third party software which is officially recommended to get this feature.

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.

What is the SAFEST SEQUENCE to convert from a Outlook/iPad/iPhone synced with MobileMe to syncing with iCloud (I have 10 years of calendar diary events and 3000 contacts) - I am worried about the data issues that have been posted about iCloud.

What is the SAFEST SEQUENCE to convert from a Outlook/iPad/iPhone synced with MobileMe to syncing with iCloud (I have 10 years of calendar diary events and 3000 contacts) - I am worried about the data issues that have been posted about iCloud.
This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
Any experience doing this the "right" way?

If you're trying to sync an iCloud calendar, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar on your iPhone and make sure you have selected your iCloud calendar as your default.

HT1296 If I have never connected my iPad to my computer, will I lose events in iCal when I sync things?

If I have never connected my iPad to my computer, will I lose events in iCal when I sync things?

Since you have never plugged the iPad into your computer's iTunes yet - you are syncing to a "new" computer so .... Yes you will lose the music if you sync it with iTunes before making this your syncing computer.
But ..... You can transfer all of the iPad content into iTunes and that will make the iTunes library your new syncing library. Just follow all of the steps in this user tip and you will be OK. Then you will be able sync without losing anything.

Hey Armando Stettner,
Thanks for the question, and what a great question it is!
With time zone support on, you can edit an individual event and change the time zone for that event. This list will include options for your default time zones, UTC, and "floating" - the latter of which is what you are looking for. Floating changes the event to occur at the specified time, local time.
For information on changing an event's time zone, see the following resource:
Calendar: Change an event’s time zone

I look forward to hearing how this works for you.
Cheers!

Calendars and event data lost in mountain lion upgrade from snow leopard on mac book pro

I just upgraded to mountain lion today. It appears my contacts and emails were transferred without loss to the new system but all of my calendar data and the calendars themselves have disappeared. Does anyone know how I can get my old calendars and event data back? I backed up my laptop on time machine before doing the upgrade, so my old calendars should be on my external hard drive. I'd like to simple recover the data from the laptop if it is just hidden somewhere. Alternatively, if someone could tell me how to import the backed up calendars back in that might be a good plan B. I also still have the old calendars on my iphone which I am afraid to sync for fear of data loss.
I looked through previous responses in the community to this same question and I tried deleting the account and adding it back in but that did not work. Any assistance would be appreciated. Apple support is giving me an cold shoulder that is rather unexpected given my past good experience with Apple support. Bummin out over here

Which way do you reinstall OSX?
I would go through the recovery partition, check Disk there and then run the installer. make sure you have a reliable connection the the Internet.
This could be a third party app you have running in the background that is crashing. what exactly is crashing ?
are you getting kernel Panics?
You are not able to simply roll back to Snow Leopard, you will have to have a SL disk, and then erase and install SL onto you hdd/ssd. This will erase ALL of your data so I hope you have a Time Machine backup or bootable clone.
I believe your issue is with a third party application installed.
More information is needed.
Call 1-800-My-Apple or file a dispute here https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action
On a personal note, I think you are missing out on ML and need to figure out if there is an application running that is causing ML to crash.
Usually a reinstall fixes my issues.

TS3999 Subscribed calendar shows events in French on my iPhone, but English on my mac. Why?

Hello,
I am using iCloud to sync my "Friends' Birthdays" calendar from Facebook between my mac and iPhone. On the mac with iCal, this works fine. Events show up in their own calendar exactly as they are supposed to. The calendar's location is set to iCloud under the info pane.
The problem occurs when the subscription is shared to my iPhone. The "Friends' Birthdays" calendar syncs in French! So instead of "Steve's Birthday", the event shows up as "Anniversaire de Steve". I tried subscribing to the calendar directly from my iPhone, but the same problem occurred. The iPhone defaults the name of the subscription to "Anniversaires d'amis", and the events are still in French.
This is not a problem with international settings that I am aware of. Here is a breakdown of my language preferences:
Facebook: US English
Mac: English
iPhone: Settings>General>International>Language>English
"">Voice Control>English
"">Region Format>Canada
"">Calendar>Gregorian
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Sync>Events 1 Month back
The only thing I can think of is that my wife uses her computer in French, and Facebook has associated our IP with her language preferences or something, but that should change the way iCal displays its events too, right?
Confused!

Your Google calendar is not stored locally on your devices (other than a temporary cached view for use while your device is offline); it's stored on Google's server (just as iCloud calendars are stored on iCloud's servers). Neither can sycn data from the other service's server. If you want to use iCloud to sync your calendars, you have to import it to iCloud's server as shown in the linked video. Or, just continue to use Google instead. (They are similar services.)

[Office365][Calendar]When event has alot of attachments, sometimes value of subject is null.

I use below Office365 rest API to get events of specified calendar.
https://outlook.office365.com/api/v1.0/me/calendars/{calendar_id}/events
When event has alot of attachments, sometimes value of subject is null.
Is it bugs of REST API ?

Hi LanNT,
Thanks for your post! The issue may be with returning Body for the specific item you are opening. We just tried reproing and were unable to, when accessing an event with or without attachment. The body displays fine. Do you see
this behavior occur with multiple events with attachments?
Please let me know if you have any questions or need more info.
Thanks,
Venkat

Problem Synching SunOne Calendar group Events to outlook

Is it possible to synch SunOne calendar group events to Outlook Calendar. We are running Calendar 5.1 and Outlook 2003 and 2007. The group entries are not picked up in outlook. eventually we want group events to be picked up on Blackberry and other PDA devices. Any thoughts?

Can you clarify what you mean by 'calendar group' events.
We are running Calendar 5.1Are you sure about this version number, this is a very old version of Calendar?
What does "showrev -p | grep ics" tell you re: calendar patch number?
and Outlook 2003 and 2007. The group entries are not picked up in outlook. eventually we want group events to be picked up on Blackberry and other PDA devices. Any thoughts?For syncing information to Blackberry & Other PDA advices you would probably be best looking at a syncml solution. Synchronica provide syncml software.

Lost all calendars and events

i tried to sync ical and a google calendar, and it worked for a bit, but then suddenly all my calendars and events disappeared.
now i cant even open the preferences window or add any events at all
when i double click on the "to do" section, i get a popup that says
"You can’t change events or to do items in the selected calendar. Only the calendar administrator and any delegates with permission can make changes to read-only calendars. To make changes to the calendar, contact the calendar administrator."
can anyone help me fix this? id like to recover my events and calendars

I've had the exact same issue -- I had calendars last week, now nothing (and I can't add any calendars, even though it's my home computer and I have the admin password, of course.) I thought it might have been caused by Yahoo!, Google, or my 3rd-party software (Missing Sync) but I think you have at least allowed me to narrow it down to Google.
Did you ever get your issue resolved?

Why does my calendar "lose " entries when using iCloud?

My calendar "loses" entries when using iCloud.
How do I fix and or prevent that?

I have the same issue, both with calendar entries and contacts. as a freelance musician, I can't afford to lose data (can anyone?)
As an apple user, I would like to see this problem actually addressed and answered, instead of being dismissed or ignored.

Calendar duplicates itself, changes color, loses events

Mavericks 10.9.4, MAC BOOK PRO, iCloud (NO time machine or other backup)
HELP! I have several calendars, one is colored aqua (it was a "cutom" color from many years ago) and labeled "HOME". a few weeks ago, I noticed a dark blue calendar labeled "iCloud" and it duplicated a bunch of "HOME" stuff, so I deleted it. Yesterday I noticed another dark blue calendar was labled "HOME", same as my aqua calendar (which is still there) I hadn't noticed the DARK BLUE for a while, and added some events in the DARK BLUE HOME... I then went into the DARK BLUE events and adjusted them so they would be in the aqua colored "HOME". I deleted the dark blue HOME.
Today, I see once again, I have 2 HOME calendars, one is aqua, and one is DARK BLUE. but worse than that, ALL of my aqua "HOME" entries from before Sept. 15th are gone!! All the HOME entries from Jan 2014 WERE aqua are still there, but are now dark blue! aaarrgggg! what is going on and how can I get back my aqua "HOME" entries from Jan-Sept. 2014 and stop that stupid calendar from duplicating. (yes, I do add things to the calendar from my iphone and right now my iphone reflects my computer.)

To restore the calendar from before iCloud installation, after you delete the Calendars folder information, inside of iCal, you can do a File-Import from the iCal backup that is taken by iCloud in the library/Calendars folder. I found one files of these in each of the machines I restored from. The file name format is iCal yyyy-mm-dd hh/mm/ss.icbu where hh is GMT time.
Now I am getting rid of iCloud for calendars and contacts, and am going to try Google Sync.
