Problem creating iCal Events from Mail in Leopard

The new function that allows the user to create iCal events from Mail messages is quite impressive and very useful. Unfortunately the data detectors seem to have trouble with certain commonplace date formats. While the detector recognises the date, it cannot activate an event in iCal. For instance the data detector will pick up the dates in these formats and create iCal events:
30 October 2007
30 Oct 07
30/10/07
but not in this format:
30-Oct-07
In the latter case, the data detector recognises it is a date, produces the drop menu, but will not carry through and create an event to iCal. It's annoying in that many companies use the latter format in their communications. Any workaround?

There is another problem I have found.
I have my computer set in international settings formats to show the date in the "English format"
January 4th 2007 is 4/1, however an entry in mail 4/1 is put into iCal on the first of April!
I found this out after looking for a meeting I knew I had put in for next week.
beware, can this bug be fixed?

ICal on macbook pro won't sync iCal events from iPhone 5

I've synced/backed up my iPhone 5 with iTunes within the past hour.
After it finished, I went onto iCal on my macbook pro and saw that it didn't have events my iPhone 5 had.
So then I went to settings and changed the iCloud settings so that it would back up iCal.
But even after that, it took too long to back up and it failed at backing it up.
So I googled how long iCloud takes to back up and realized that the more I had for it to back up, the longer it takes.
Now I'm down to 500-something mb for iCloud to back up. It's still taking a long time.
THEN I googled to see if anyone else has had any problems with syncing iCal.
There was one person who deleted iTunes 11.0.1 and downgraded to the 10 version.
Is there any way for me to sync/backup my iCal on my macbook pro with iCal events from my iPhone 5, vice versa?
(Other than downgrading, if there is one)

Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

My iphone only sync's SOME of my ical events from my macbook. I only have 1 calendar. Am I doing something wrong? I'm not using the cloud.

With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

How can I get my ical events from my iMac to my iPhone? Anything I entered into ical on my iPhone will transfer to ical on iMac when plugged in, but not vice versa.

You need to sign into your iCloud account on your Mac, and check the Calendar option. System Preferences>iCloud, sign on your iCloud account, check the apps you want to sync with your device.

Create new iCal event from contents of mail uses wrong date

I received an email today with an appointment using the date "6/3/2010 at 4PM". Being from the US, it is obvious to me that this meeting should occur on June 3, 2010, but when I attempt to create a new iCal event with this date it creates the event on March 6, 2010. Even more confusing is that when I choose "Show this date in iCal" it highlights March 7, 2010!
My question is:
Shouldn't the system default to a month/day/year date preference everywhere when I've selected US English in the internationalization preferences pane?

have a very similar question: is there somewhere an application where I can, when receiving an email, put it into iCal so that I am reminded about it in a week or something?

Restore specific deleted iCal events from time machine

Hi,
I had put some events into iCal on my iPhone in early August. My Calendar syncs with an exchange server. The events were at first in all the calendars that were attached to the exchange account. Now some of these events are gone or updates to the events are gone. I was wondering if I could only restore these missing events from the time machine? I have an iMac 27" from 2012 with a time machine attached to it.
Thanks

Sorry but albums can not be restored - and you can not select them in the show package contents display - albums are simply entries in the iPhoto database and have no physical presence
Additionally showing package contents and entering the iPhoto library is extremely dangerous and a tiny user error can destroy the library and cause dataloss -- it is strongly recommended to never go into the inside of the iPhoto library and there never is a reason t do so
What you are doing is restoring the originals from an event losing any modifications and any metadata editing
And you are breaking a cardinal rule by making changes to the content of the iPhoto library using something other than iPhoto which will not work - photos muct be imported into iPhoto, not saved into its database
But the biggest problem with the OP's plan is that Time Machine is NOT an archival system but a backup system and eventually it will remove the oldest files so sooner or later the OP would lose their photos that had not been restored

Agreed to a large extent, but I don't have anything in the Modified folder to try.
My albums appear in originals as folders. But as you say, they are the raw imports.
As to the wisdom of the procedure; it worked, and I was slightly surprised it did from within a package, but i accept your overall premise.

Strange error when creating an iCal event from Addressbook

Hi all,
When I drag/drop an Addressbook vCard on a specific date/time in iCal, iCal automatically creates a 1hour event, e.g "Meeting with CompanyName", iCal also inserts the mail address of the Contact person, but the Location (physical Address) is missing, even if its in the Addressbook vCard. Can someone explain whats wrong?
I have a few Addressbook plug-ins: BT Google Directions, BT Google Maps etc. Can this be causing the error?
Thanks for your help! / Paul

I really don't think it's the page since web pages can't "manipulate" built-in iOS views. At least I can't find an example where it actually does work the way it should and used to work in iOS 7. Here's another example: http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/matches.html?paramClubId=ALL&paramCo mp_100=true&view=.dateSeason (click the Calendar icon)
Also tried it now on a iPhone with iOS 8. There it still works because there's a Done button in the upper right corner which can close the calendar view, so I'd say this is definitely a iPad/iOS8 bug.

Restoring iCal Events from Time Machine

Hi
I read a few threads that were related to my question, but it was more from moving over files from different versions of the operating software. Here is my dilemma:
Somehow I erased all my iCal events. They were syncing with Entourage. I went into iCal because I had some duplicates and deleted event duplicates, when I did that I somehow deleted all my events. I do have time machine and have a back up of iCal. I restored the program from Time Machine, but the events are not back. I suspect that I need to restore the actual files that must be kept in a database somewhere?
Will someone please tell me how to restore the actual events and where exactly I can find the iCal events data. My plan is that once I restore iCal I will export and import into Entourage.
I really do not want to lose all my events. Thank you in advance for your help!
Brandon

HELP! Please.
I am a new iMac user. For weeks, the system ran perfect. This morning, I tried to synch my iCal with Google Calendar to let others have access to my events. Somehow, after the sync, all events at my iCal suddenly disappeared. Not just that, the list of calendars (private, business, etc.) was gone too. I then tried to synch iCal with all the events stored in my iPhone, but that only lead to my iPhone calendar being completely deleted too. I am totally desparate now. What happened? I then tried to use Time Machine to restore. But in earlier time machine dates, there was no calendar folder which I could use to replace mine. But I could not find a calendar folder there. Thank you for helping. Kind regards from Munich, Germany.

Edit iCal event from calendar1 to calendar 2 on iPhone dupliates the event

Hi All,
I have a very strange problem with my iCal server.
A user has 5 calendars in his account. When he accesses his account every 5 calendars work perfect from the LAN and from the Internet (outside)... He enters an event in calender1, changes the event to calender2, it gets moved perfectly. This happens on OS X clients.
Now the culprit, which drives me nuts...
When he changes an event on his iPhone or iPad, the event gets duplicated. So the event which was in calendar 1 is now in calendar 2 as well, but stays in calender1 too...
Hmm, I have searched here, googled my head off, and cannot find a solution.
Does anyone have this problem or just me?
thanks
Rob
Everthing is on 10.6.6 (Server Clients, iPhones are on 4.2.1. All calendars reside on the server, there are no local calendars.

Hello there,
I have the same problem. I use a 3rd party calendar app (miCal) to synchronize with my Google calendars. Their support told me to try it with iCal on iPhone, and its the same problem, so the problem resides there, as miCal is synchronizing with iCal on the iPhone.
When I move an event from calendar1 to calendar2, it is displayed as supposed in iCal and miCal. When I access Google calendar directly via their web interface, you can see the "old" event in calendar1, though. So it's still there.
I'm pretty sure the problem does not reside with Google, as I found some forum post with the same problem somewhere else on the Internet, but with MobileMe for calendar sync instead of Google.
Currently I'm running 4.3.2 (according to the post above, it should be fixed with 4.3.1) but I still run into the same problem again and again as I move events from one calendar to another on a regular basis.
With iCal on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8) it works as it's supposed to. No complaints there. This duplicating of events happens only when I move events on the iPhone. Any solutions there?
Thank you!
Thomas

Can I move an iCal event from my phone to another calendar?

Every once in a while I add an event and forget to change the calendar from the default "On this phone" to one of the other 3 calendars I set up. After I save an event, the option as to which calendar it's added to disappears and I can no longer change it on my phone. In lieu of that not being possible, I can only think of inputting the event again and deleting the "on my phone" event. Ideas?

I reset my default calendar to one that syncs with my MacBook and MobileMe. Now if I put a calendar event on the phone memory I have to do it intentionally. No solution on how to move an event from the phone but this is a workaround.

Can't create event from iPad mail

I Am using an iPad 2, with all updates. When I try to create an event from an email, the right screen pops up, but the right hand side is cut off, so I have no save button. Also can't change calendars, etc, because there is no save button on those screens too. The calendar functions otherwise seem fine. Help, please?

That is a known issue. Although it has been reported in the past, another submission wouldn't hurt: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
To my knowledge, short of simply open the calendar app and creating the event from scratch, there is no workaround.

I can't delete iCal event from iPhone

My iCal seems to sync just fine on my laptop, iCloud and my iPhone, EXCEPT for a couple events that I cant delete off of my phone.
They were originally setup as recurring events - to remind me every week about a voice conference I was to have with a client. That weekly meeting is no longer necessary so I deleted it (and chose All future events as well). I made sure it was gone from iCal on my laptop, and on iCloud.
However it is still on my iPhone and gives me an alert about the meeting every Monday.
On the phone, I see no way to actually delete events. When I touch it there is no EDIT button or anything like that.
I must be missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated.
my iPhone has iOS 7.04
My laptop has 10.9.1
iCal is version 7.0

Go in your iTunes,
Select sync photes from (whereever)
When the folder boxes appears,
*DO NOT SELECT ANY BOXES
*THEN PRESS SYNC
*ALL OF THE UNWANTED PHOTOS WILL BE REMOVED
*THAT WILL NOT AFFECT THE PHOTES YOU HAVE TAKING PREVIOUSLY, JUST THE ONES THAT WAS ADDED FROM YOUR DESK TOP, LAPTOP, ETC.

How to read iCal events from SQLite Cache file?

I need to figure out how to read event entries in the Cache file stored in /Library/Calenders/ as my actual events have been corrupted due to a file system problem. The example below shows the information I have for each entry, where the event in the entry was Bon Jovi Concert, however I am confused how I can read the date and time of the event, information I believe is stored as 218215639,219613081,219524400,219540600. Any help is greatly appreciated.
INSERT INTO "ZCALENDARITEM" VALUES(0,NULL,0,NULL,0,5,NULL,6,4039,NULL,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,23,0,0,0,0,6,0,21821563 9,219613081,219524400,219540600,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,'local_AFB8D342-2DAE-4F A1-A9A6-3FA9B28B5C7C','Bon Jovi Concert',NULL,NULL,NULL,'Europe/London',NULL,'0E17BBB6-0E76-4024-8DD7-60E43D38D 35B');

OK, here we go ... I hope. I have tried it on my iCal, with about 2000 entries, and it worked. I cannot guarantee that it will work for you.
Make a new text file from sql as before, but using this modified command to get additional data for each event:
sqlite3 Desktop/Hope 'select ZSTARTDATE, ZCALENDARITEM.ZTITLE, ZENDDATE, ZNODE.ZTITLE, ZISALLDAY, ZRECURRENCERULE, ZISDETACHED from ZCALENDARITEM inner join ZNODE on ZCALENDARITEM.ZCALENDAR = ZNODE.Z_PK where ZSTARTDATE not null' >hope.txt
I suggest you make a new user account, then copy the text file hope.txt and the script to the Public/Drop Box folder for that account. Log on to the new account and copy the two files from the drop box to the Desktop. Start iCal and make new calendars to match those in your ordinary account. Double click the script to open it in Script Editor and CHANGE THE DATE RANGE in the "set ThePeriod" line. Stand well back and click the run button. Every 50 records processed it will pop up a progress box, which will pop down again after a second. Go for lunch.
When it is finished see if things look OK in iCal. If they do export each of the calendars, copy them to the drop box of your normal account and return to your normal account to import them.
If there is an error make a note of the error message and line number, find that line in the text file, and post it here with a couple of lines either side.
Note that for recurring items iCal normally only makes a single event, the first occurrence, then uses a recurrence rule to calculate if the event should be displayed in the current window. If there are any recurring events in the period you have selected where the first occurrence is before the period they will not be recreated. Where however you have changed a single occurrence of a recurring event iCal makes a new, detached, event. Any of these in the period will be detected. If their original event was also in the period they will now appear in the iCal display as duplicates. For easy spotting of these, I have prefixed "XX-" to the title of any detached events.
