Cant restore ical backu with icloud :(

Hello, i got serious problem with syncing ical icloud and nokia phone.
After enabling icloud isync syncing with my nokia just stopped working. It says i need "on my mac calendar". Ye great so iCloud made my life much harder! Another problem is i miss deleted some calendar and now i am not able to import backup. If i click import and importing my .icbu file its succesfully import but after few seconds all my imported events are deleted and the icloud ones are loaded again...
in short:
So I cant restore backup because of unstopable syncing with icloud
I cant sync my non iphone phone with my computer
Even in case i finally buy iPhone i cant sync anymore because my calendar is in file that cannot be loaded to my ical or icloud
what i tried:
disable icloud and logout
result:
after importing the backup connection to icloud is automatically re-created and disapearing of my calendar data starts.
I wont do something like disconecting or manual recreating all my event. I paid lot of money for mac so i suppose that "it will just work".
Thank for any help.

When you restore a synced calendar which was deleted, the sync process helpfully brings it back into sync by deleting it.
There is a workaround, though it's a bit of a fiddle - please see this page:

It's written for MobileMe but AFAIK it should work for iCloud (please let us know if it does)/

    How can I restore my iphone with icloud without using the setup assistant? If this is not possible, how do open the setup assistant?

    Settings, general, reset, erase all contenet and settings, then you will restore from icloud.

    Back from where?
    You choose to not copy them off to a computer as they are designed to be.
    If they are no longer showing in iCloud, they are gone.

  • Ask your question.How to sync ical 3 with icloud calendar

    How to sync ical 3 with icloud calendar?

    And the additional problem is that once you give in and go iCloud, no rep will tell you there are iCloud limits on iCal's size, so that if you're calendar is say 10 years old, with 10 events per day, and there's a 25K event limit, it won't work, even if you buy all the storage in the world. Which means that's syncing is OVER.
    So far I've tried three calendar alts: Fantastical (rated one of the top iCal alts); Pocket Informant (allegedly capable of superpowers); and Calendars. Not a single one is able to do the one simple task of
    1) integrating an ical ics file,
    2) placing a calendar program on the desktop and the iPhone
    3) keeping them both in sync.
    And Google's cloud has even more restrictions than iCloud, and for frack's sake why can't I keep a calendar off the net?
    This is really getting to annoy me. Chelsea, a tech support supervisor, offered that if I pay $99/year I can become a developer and get the next beta iTunes which will allegedly offer local syncing. Great.

  • Ical bug with iCloud connection.

    Hello, my name is Carlos Micó.
    I´ve got a problem with iCal. When I open iCal, this stays in a bug trying to connect and sync with iCloud. The application can not close it. Can not access your preferences. I tried to delete the account from iCloud to not continue the bug, but does not solve the problem. Any solution?

    Are you actually opening iCal or Calendar? If you are able to open iCal, and it hangs, that would be because it doesn't work with Mavericks. You need to use Calendar.
    Does the iCloud System Preferences let you uncheck Calendar?
    Can you access your Calendars at www.icloud.com?

  • ICal syncing with iCloud

    Hello! My boss just updated his OS to Lion so that he couldsync his iCal with iCloud. He has about ten different calendars or categories,such as Staff, personal, workout, etc.… The problem is that only part of whathe has on iCal is showing up on iCloud. For instance in purple he has a studyblock that shows up, but the devotional block that is just before it does notshow up. Is there something that I can look at to make sure that all calendarevents show up on iCloud? Thanks for your help! David

    I may have been misunderstood. In iCal there are different accounts (or groups) you can put calendars into, if you put a calendar into anything else than your iCloud account, it won't sync.
    In my calendar above, anything I place in 'Private' won't sync with iCloud. (The second iCloud group is another iCloud account, that group syncs with iCloud, but not my iCloud - actually it's an iCloud account that a group of us share and can edit)

  • How to restore iTunes backup with iCloud overwriting everything

    I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5s from a iTunes backup however my iCloud is overwriting the restore immediately. My contacts are missing from iCloud, can anyone help

    Turn off your wifi, when the device comes up you have a very short window to go to settings, Wifi , turn off wifi before it will sync with iCloud; literally...you have to beat the clock.
    Either that, or reset the password to your iCloud account so your device CAN'T sync with it

  • Cant restore my macbook with Disk utility and my .dmg image

    My macbook would not boot anymore. Stuck on gray screen with apple logo, spinning wheel and a loading bar for a while after shutting off.
    I was able to get to Disk Utility in the recovery mode and, after a while, was able to make an image of my filesin an attempt to back them up.
    The .dmg was put on an external and i checked it on my imac, i could open the .dmg file and browse all my files from my macbook, so those are safe!
    After that i tried to wipe the SSD of my macbook and put the image back but that didn't work, also some resource is busy errors.
    After trying this a few times without succes i figured i'd try to do a clean install. This worked.
    My macbook air is working again but if Iuse Disk Utility in the recovery now and try and restore my image (.dmg file) it gives me Restore Failure; An error (-16) occured (resource busy) as well. I also tried to copy the dmg onto my macbook and run disc utility when booted into OSX. I open up the back up .dmg with Disk utility, then i go to my macbooks partition (Macontiosh HD) and use that as a destination and drag the mounted image as the source as shown on the image below. Am I doing something wrong here?
    Doing this i get an error as well: (-119,930,878) Resource busy as you can see.
    What can i do to get my image back on my macbook? Any 3rd party software?
    I considered just transferring the files after opening the .dmg file but this works only for documents and not for programs and settings of the default apps.
    I've looked all over the Internet and it seems more people have had this error but then with making the image, they also suggest unmounting the destination disk before trying to restore but my destination is Macintosh HD, i cant really unmount that can i?
    Thanks in advance!

    To make a clone, in the future you need to use a program like superduper or carbon copy cloner.
    Either program makes an identical clone while preserving certain system files and marking/indicating to OS X that the clone is bootable.
    Using Disk Utility to make a DMG was a good idea, but this will not yield a bootable image.
    If Disk Utility could do a 1:1 copy of everything, then people would be using it to rip/duplicate DVDs.
    But Disk Utility does not (it leaves out certain invisible/system files), hence it cannot duplicate/clone a hard drive or DVD.

  • Cant restore iCal library from Time Machine ?

    I could not find Calendar library in Time Machine; I was searching under my user name, nothing there
    So how can I restore my iCal ?
    By the way, I am not content with iCal, I would like another calendar, but is there anything for free ?

    Yes it does. Open TimeMachine, then scroll to the backup, you want to restore. In the finder window (in TimeMachine) open the path suggested in my first post.
    See also here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18034345#18034345 and follow the instructions MadisonP gave.

  • I cant restore my ipod with itunes, is there any other way?

    help

    Are you using a iPod Touch?
    What iOS are you using on your iPod?
    If you are using an iPod touch and iOS 5.0 or later you can restore from an iCloud backup
    Hopefully you have been backing up to iCloud
    You can restore with your iPod by going to settings>general>reset>erase all content and settings and if connected to wi-fi can restore from a iCloud backup

  • ICal Duplicates With iCloud

    I just set up iCloud with my Mac and it unfortunately duplicated everything in my iCal database -- it looks like it even duplicated the calendar categories and picked random colors for them. Is this happening for anyone else? How can I fix this?

    Same issue.
    Like aaplgeek, I also resolved it by clicking the "Calendars" button in the top left (alternatively, View -> Show Calendars), and unchecking the local calendars, leaving the iCloud calendars visible.
    It seems that the events weren't actually duplicated... it's just (VERY unintuitively) that by default, iCal is display both your local and your synced copies at once.  But seeing as how the synced ones should match anyways, it's just ridiculous and made me think something was horribly wrong.

  • Cant restore back up from iCloud as password not accepted

    when trying to restore an 1phone 5s from iCloud back up my password is not accepted..i then go to iforgot, change my password retry the restore process and get the same issue.I have tried turning find phone off, starting again but still cant access back up because password not accepted.

    I can't change my DNS settings. I'm trying to restore while setting up my phone. If I change the DNS settings while on the phone, and then restore the phone and try to restore from the back-up on my iCloud, it won't save that I've changed settings to use Google's public DNS. I would log onto my university's secure wifi instead of their guest wifi, but unfortunately I can't. because that involves an installation, which I can't do if I restore my phone and am trying to set it up.

  • I restore my iphone with icloud but when I disconect the iphone i lose my contacts again what can i do?

    I lost my contacts on my iphone 4, I've tried several times to restore them with a copy from icloud using itunes, once the iphone is restored i can see the contacts and use them  but when I disconect the iphone  the contacts are errased again. What can I do?

    Have you checked the cable ? Try another one as well as the charger.  Look for any dirt or fluff in the docking port where the cable fits. If it still does not work, take it to an Apple store and get them to check it out.
