Certain ical events shifted and some deleted overnight -

Using Mobile Me, MacBook w/OS 10.6.7, iCal 4.0.4 - any suggestions?  Does this have to do with Apple's beta roll-out of iCloud?  Also Mobile Me iCal is not updating with my iCal on my Mac very responsively. Will backup my calendar right now!!

This happened to me too, but I don't use Mobile Me.  MacBook with OS 10.6.7, latest version of iCal.  I noticed last night that an event I have set up as "repeate every month on the first Friday" is suddently showing on every first Saturday, even though the event data still reads "every first Friday" when I go to edit it. 
Another event which I had scheduled to begin Tuesday July 12 and repeat every week for 6 weeks (a class I'm teaching) suddenly shifted to Wednesday July 13, repeating every Wednesday.
I didn't interact with either of these events any time recently.  This is VERY distressing.

  • Unable to sync certain iCal events through 10.7 to iCloud

    I am unable to sync "certain" iCal events from my MacBook Air (10.7.5) and iCloud ... which, unfortunately, doesn't allow my iCal event to get to either my other MacBook Pro, iPhones or those to whom I'm attempting to inform of events. Specifically these events have an attachment (Add file) and a "Show in Mail" URL. Now ... iCal automatically loads these two additional attachments when capturing an event off an email.
    Bottom Line: Do I need to ensure iCal and Mac Mail NEVER do this, or is there a way to allow these events to be passed through iCloud? Inquiring minds ...

    Hello Dominick Issi,
    It is definitely hard to stay on schedule if the calendars on your devices stop syncing.  I recommend reviewing the articles below to troubleshoot iCloud calendar syncing issues:

  • Certain iCal Event Alarms Not Working on iPhone

    I have certain calendar event reminders that are not issuing on the iPhone (3GS, latest iOS 4.3.5) after syncing from iCal on the desktop with a CalDAV calendar running on Mac OS X 10.6 Server.
    Most appointments do issue alerts properly, but I've noticed ones that have some or all of the following attributes are a problem:
    1 - recurring on alternating weeks
    2 - alarm set for day before the event (e.g. 7pm the night before or "5 hours before all-day event" as calendar sees it)
    3 - alarms that do not conform to the short list of pre-set iPhone calendar alarms (5 min, 10 min, 15 min,... 2 hours before, 12 hours before)
    I have a feeling it's #3 or a combination of all. I've tried deleting and re-adding the calendar on the iPhone. I've also verified that the time zones match between phone and desktop iCal. In my case, the alarm never happens for these specific events, not that it happens much later or something.
    Anyone experience this issue?
    Thanks

    why so many views of this question and nobody had replied with an answer?

  • ICal Event Handling And Exchange

    Okay. I'm having problems figuring out how iCal in Snow Leopard is handling meeting invitations. When I get a new meeting invite in Mail.app and I double-click on it, it creates an event in iCal. If I open that event, the popup gives me the option to click on "Maybe", "Accept", or "Decline". If I click on "Accept" the event window goes away and iCal comes back up.... but it doesn't appear to save my response. If I click on the event, it still shows me the same button options. This would all be fine... except for the following issue....
    As long as an iCal event is in the "invitation" state, I can't change the event from it's default local calendar to the Exchange calendar. I can move it around within local calendars, but the Exchange options are not available from the pulldown menu. If I create a new event manually, then the Exchange options are available from the pulldown and I can move events to it just fine.
    I can't figure out how to get invitations (1) accepted and saved as accepted and (2) moved to the Exchange calendar.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I've found a work-around that SORT of lets me function for now:
    1) Right click on the event.
    2) Select "Create Duplicate"
    3) Right-click on the new duplicate.
    4) You can now select your Exchange calendar to move it over.
    5) When you try to select the OLD event, iCal will REQUIRE that you send a notification out to the meeting invitees. This is ENTIRELY too inconvenient for me (as I work for Government and Army Colonels do NOT want my meeting spam) so I click on EDIT and then remove all the invitees and then save. This gets around the requirement to send the notice.
    6) THEN I can select the OLD event on my local calendar and delete it.
    This is FAR from a good solution as it requires me to lose all the meeting attendee information AND there's something broken in the requirement to send the meeting notice out again for the duplicate.. but at least I can get events onto my Exchange calendar for now.

  • ICal events missing and wrong

    I use iCal on my Mac and Calendar on my iPhone all synced with MobileMe CalDav. I have a lot of recurring events. Everything looks fine until October 2011. Almost the entire month is blank in iCal on the Mac. I know there should be events during the whole month (something almost every day). When I look at the web version on MobileMe, the events are there, but starting on or about October 15, they are all shifted to the next day. So, my normal 8-5 M-F job looks like a Tuesday through Saturday job. The iPhone matches the web view on MobileMe. The same thing is happening to my wife's calendar, which is set up the same way. The strange thing is that by November, it is all back to normal. I have the time zone set to Brasilia time on MobileMe and in iCal and the only thing that I can think of is a bizarre Daylight Savings Time bug (DST starts this year in Brazil on Oct. 16). Strange that it would affect the whole month on iCal, only part of the month on MobileMe. I am unable to add an event on October 16 from any device, which is too bad as that is my wife's due date and I would like to note it. The event moves to the 15th. If I switch to Day view in iCal and start in early October, the events appear, but it won't let me move past October 15. iCal will crash.
    Any ideas?

    I mean look at how crazy this is (from the MobileMe calendar web view). The 15th appears twice and every date after it is on the wrong day of the week. If I view November, it goes back to normal.

  • HT2513 iCal is duplicating and not deleting: What should I do?

    I performed the softward update for iCal and terrible things have happened.
    Under all-day events, as soon as I open an event and attempt to add notes, the event (without the accompanying notes) is duplicated. But it will not allow me to delete the duplicated event, and when I tried to delete all future events (this is a daily occurence), it will not allow that, either. So now I have a very confused calendar indeed that is verging on the unusable.
    What can I do?
    Many thanks in advance --
    Jeannette

    Yes, you need to purchase a new charger if the old one is not working. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Ical events past and future lost

    my ical dropped out all my old events as well as my listed birthdays and events in the future ie next month.
    Have been to sync on my iphone/ipad and Imac and "all events" is synced.
    Can anyone help me restore my lost events.

    If you're syncing you iPhone with your computer, you can see in the calendars options of the info panel of iTunes that only the 30 last days of your events are synced by default.
    To sync all you events, you have to deselect this option.

  • On Connecting to Computer my File Arrangement is Mixed up and Some Deleted!

    Dear iPod experts,
    Hello,
    Although on my iPod 30GB Summary Tab on iTunes, I have already ticked the option which says, 'Manually Manage Music and Videos', it seems that iPod Sync is somehow working, even at the top of the page it writes 'iPod sync is complete' which is unsolicited!
    The problem is tht whenever I am online and attach my iPod to my computer, my files on my iPod get deleted and moved. I don't know why. It appears to be beyond my control.
    Should I remove a tick somewhere? Have I, by accident, activated something which I shouldn't have?
    I'd be happy if you could advise me on how I can have full control over what comes into and what goes out of my iPod? The strange thing is that when I scroll up and down on my iPod files, I see that I have a folder; however, once I select it, it is empty. Oh my Gosh! What happened. All the content has disappeared into thin air. Please help me!
    Thank you.
    Hope to hear from you.
    Best wishes,
    iPod-Student.

    I had the same problem but i am not an expert, but ill try to help you. You have clicked MANUALLY MANAGE...right?
    So if you have tried to fool with the tabs that say" Movies or GAMES or MUSIC...." go through there and make sure that no boxes are ticked. Now that should take care of it....Post back if you have problems...oh, make sure you press APPLY at the bottom or when it asks you.
    I hope i helped, srry if i couldnt!
    All the music that has been deleted of your iPod has been put back in your library and i have noticed that if you want all your music on there but dont want to click all the songs, just go to the tabs on the iPod page and click al the ones you want(yes, it is contrary to what you want but wait). let them load to your Ipod and then click manually manage. They should stay on there now.

  • Screen sized changed! I accidently hit 'shift' and some other key.

    I mistakenly hit a combination of keys and my viewable browser window Shrunk with a black box around it... in the upper left corner, there are now screen size options.
    How can I EXIT this mode (and how did i get into it in the first place)
    Thank you!

    ok, you're welcome - just realized that the X button will introduced in firefox 22, hopefully it will be more self-explanatory how to get out of this mode for other users with the same issue then...

  • Lost ical events after daylight savings

    Just woke up and my ical is blank. I've tried looking at my icloud account and that is blank too. i have also turned off my phone and restarted it still all blank. Any suggestions on how to retrieve my ical events, current and past back?

    Quit iCal.
    Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist. Look for a line called "delete events". If it exists, set the value to "No" by clicking on it.
    If the line does not exist, close the plist file and drag it to the desktop.
    After either of the above steps, open iCal and create a test event older than 90 days and see if it keeps it.
    Hope that helps

  • In mail "create new ical event" has stopped appearing in ical

    Please help! I love clicking on data in email to bring up the "Create New iCal Event" box, and using it to put new events into my ical calendar. But recently when I "Create New iCal Event" from an email, and click "add to iCal" the window closes but the event doesn't show up in iCal. I can still add events by clicking on a calendar date in iCal and typing them in, but the link between Mail and iCal seems to be broken. How can I fix it?
    Could this be related to how Firefox recently broke? Foxfire will not save bookmarks any more, either, I click on "Bookmarks," then "Bookmark this page". The window closes but the bookmark does not save. Also, the forward/backward browser arrows no longer work on Foxfire.

    Could you be more specific? What happens (or fails to happen?)

  • My Ical events disappeared how do I restore with time machine/mountain lion?

    I recently installed mountain lion.    Today my ICal events disappeared and I can't restore them with time machine.   What happened?   How do I fix it?

    Did you try rebuilding the library's database file as follows:  make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • ICal Help Needed! (cannot delete calendars/events on computer and iPhone)

    Hi Everyone,
    I need some help with my iCal. Background info:
    -Currently have an iPhone 3GS
    -Using Google Calendar
    -Use separate calendar on iPhone (Pocket Informant)
    -Wanted to sync all event from Outlook to Google Calendar to iCal to two calendars on phone (this became an issue with alarms so began attempting to delete all events from the original iPhone calendar that I do not want to use)
    I started by syncing my Outlook (one way) with my Google Calendar, which syncs with the iCal on computer and Pocket Informant on iPhone, as well as iCal on iPhone. Duplicate alarms started occurring on the phone (PI and iCal). I then attempted to delete all events from the iCal on the computer. One calendar remains, one that I subscribed to from Yahoo Sports. I have tried everything to delete this calendar, but it seems impossible. After I sync the phone, the subscribed calendar shows up as well as birthdays and one calendar from my Google Calendar, on my phone.
    So, the issues, and what I would eventually like to see:
    1. I would like all events cleared from iCal on computer (currently just subscribed calendar that will not delete)
    2. I would like to delete all events from calendar on phone (subscribed calendar, birthdays, and one calendar from Google) *I cannot even delete these events by hand on my phone.
    3. In the end I would like to just continue to sync Outlook with Google which syncs with PI and then do nothing with iCal (on phone and computer) *Well really I would like events from Google synced with iCal on computer, but this doesn't seem feasible so I would settle with not using it at all.
    The only thing I can think of to do at this point is to delete iCal, but I am not even sure this would correct the calendar issue on my phone as I am unable to delete that and the sync does not seem to be working correctly.
    Any help on this would be much appreciated!
    Thank you in advance!!

    The edit feature was working correctly with the calendars and stopped. Performed a sync through iTunes removing syncing preferences first. Did not resolve the issue. I am considering restoring the iphone.

  • Wants to delete my contacts + double posting iCal events and not syncing

    Hi everyone!
    I hope you can help me.
    I have an iPhone + MacBook + iMac and use MobileMe as well. My iphone was full which resulted in it not syncing with my computers. I double checked the settings and saw the "Info syncing" had been turned off for some reason, which I then turned on, and I checked the MobileMe settings as well.
    So the situation is this now:
    My iCal events are not getting synced to my computer from iPhone or MobileMe.
    My iPhone has "double up" some events, meaning that I write them into the phone or my computer, they get uploaded to MobileMe, then synced back to my iPhone and thus appearing twice. I think these are the "old" events that were writing in before my MobileMe account was set up for syncing.
    iSync wants to delete 195 contacts on my computers, without modifying or adding any. I did this with my iMac and sure enough some 195 contacts were deleted! Aw! How do I get these back?
    My MacBook keeps prompting me with the some message, saying that syncing with MobileMe will delete 195 contacts, even though I have all these contacts present on my iPhone and my computer now.
    I do not understand what is happening. I can send the contacts to my iMac and add them again, but I am afraid that these will then appear twice as well. Why can does calender on my iPhone show both the ones I write into the phone and from MobileMe? Shouldn't these be "synced" via MobileMe, so all I have to do is set it up and it should take care of itself? And why oh why does it want to delete 195 contacts? I think these are all my contacts apart from the 5 most recent which I wrote into the iPhone.
    Can anyone help me? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
    Mc

    Hi,
    I'm afraid you're asking in the wrong place. This is the iSync forum - which is for syncing contact and calendars to non-Apple mobile phones only. iSync doesn't sync between Macs or with MobileMe.
    MobileMe syncing is handled by *MobileMe Sync*, and the forum for that is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
    However, you may need to reset your sync data. The process for that is described in this Apple Support Document:

  • I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. What can I do?

    I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. Some clips are fine in the movie, but most are just black and when I hover over them, it says source clip missing. How to I fix this? Thank You

    I did that too, then I did a migration assistant to a new Mac and ALL of my movies have Source Clip Missing now, even though the original clips are still in the iPhoto Videos.  I can stand to re edit one or two projects, but not ALL.
