Events disappeared after computer died

I have four calendars: one for home, school, work, and an urgent one. I was editing my events when the charger wasn't plugged in and it died. When I restarted, the School and Urgent calendars were totally gone, with a red exclamation mark next to them. The message read:
"Error Loading Calendar
iCal was unable to load the calendar. The file might be corrupted or temporarly unreadable.
You can try again later or reset this calendar. Resetting the calendar will remove all calendar content."
The options were Reset and Try Again Later. Trying Again Later didn't do anything, and I've restarted my computer. How can I get back those events? They were very important.
Thanks.

Quit iCal. Drag the folder library/Application Support/iCal (library is in your home directory) to the desktop. Restart iCal.
The calendars might magically reappear. Then again, they might not, in which case put the folder back where you got it.

  • Word Add in disappears after computer restart

    We are using Office 2007. The BI publisher word tab add in disappears after reboot. When we try to re-install the control panel has the option to repair which indicates that it is still installed. Any ideas on what causes this? Thanks.

    #2 - No, the other add-ins stay, it's just this one.
    Just to clarify my original question - wasn't asking if the other addins stay but specifically if the machine in question is "identical" in terms of what is installed etc
    There is a known issue where Outlook addins will get disabled if the addin exceeds some Outlook load threshold time so if you have 5-6 other machines that work without any problems, logic would dictate that there is some difference (however subtle) between
    the machines that work and the one that doesn't. Have no idea personally what that might be (i.e. if everything else is supposedly the same, is the problem machine as fast as the others in terms of processing power & memory etc).  Not likely
    that this is first time the ZixCorp folks would have heard about it (mind you - there is a "first time" for everything for any issue reported to a company so the questions I've asked about similarities would also likely be asked by them.

  • Calendar events disappeared after updating to iOS 8.1

    i updated to iOS 8.1 yesterday. I had all my calendar events in my iPhone calendar app and WeekCal app this morning. This afternoon, they disappeared. I checked my iCal on my computer. The events are all there. How do I sync the events. I prefer them to go into WeekCal, but at this point, either is fine.

    Things I have already tried:
    - logging out of itunes, then restarting
    - unlinking the device via the 'view Apple ID' menu
    - updating to iOS 8.1.2
    correction to my original post, it is not all purchased movies and shows it is trying, just 9 specific ones.

  • Help! My events disappeared after upgrading to Mountain Lion!

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (and signed up for the accompanying iCloud, fyi), but when I opened iCal/Calendar my events were gone. For some reason, my repeating all-day events are still there, but everything else - non-repeating all-day & any time-specific events - is gone. I know that I should have backed up before upgrading, but I didn't. Is there anything I can do to get my events back??? I'm in a slight panic.

    I was having the same problem after I completely tore down my Macbook Pro mid-2010 in order to replace the keyboard.  (Phew!)  After re-asssembling, everything was working again except for the screen brightness buttons (F1,F2).  I figured it was a bad keyboard, but after zapping the p-ram, the brightness buttons now work as they should.  Thanks for the tip!

  • Calendar events missing after BlackBerry died

    About two weeks ago my Tour died a horrible death. I woke up and the web page that I had tried to load the night before was still showing a little clock and the only way I could get out of the browser was to shut the phone off. When I powered it back up, it was gone. Completely.
    I plugged it into my computer to charge it, and I got a message that there was no software on my device. 
    I reloaded everything and it's ok now, but my calendar did not re-load all of my appointments.
    I am sync'd through Exchange. How do I get all of them back on the phone's calendar?
    Thanks!

    While you didn't state clearly, it appears you are on BES. As such, go see your BES admins for assistance as they may have to do something on their end to re-sync your BB to BES.
    Good luck!

  • Ical events disappeared after BB Sync

    My wife and boss use Mobile Me on their Macs to keep the bosses calendar.  For some strange reason today when my wife synced her blackberry to her Mac it erased several events from the ical on her Mac that had been previously scheduled in ical and synced corretly to her blackberry.
    Any thoughts? 

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    To check the default calendar service book: Options>Advanced Options>Default Services, and it should be set to the email address you want to sync with.
    As well since the calendar on the BlackBerry has 2 different record numbers, you will need to merge these to make sure the sync is back to normal.
    Follow these instructions to merge the calendar: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB19240
    After this is done, try performing the synchronization.

  • My hardrive just got diagnosed as 'faulty' even though its only 1year8months old!!! I had adobe bridge installed on the computer with many picture files that included raw images. How can I get these raw files back after computer died?

    computer did not start up one day. it was a white screen
    took it to a mac bar and they said the diagnosis was a faulty hard drive
    I had backed up most of my images ( i am a photographer)
    had not backed up atleast 6 files full of raw images!!!!
    they suggested sending it to a data recovery specialist which would cost around $500!
    I am not getting the answers I need on how, why, or what is going to be recovered or if raw picture files will be able to be saved.
    Not sure what to do next because I dont have loads of extra money laying around to pay for something that should have not occured in the first place if I was actually sold a good computer.
    payed $1095 for this imac and it only lasted just under 2 years. I feel cheated and scammed! Has any one else gone through this same thing?? what did you do?

    If it is only 20 months old it is still covered by the 3-year Applecare.
    You did take out Applecare didn't you?
    I had backed up most of my images ( i am a photographer)
    had not backed up atleast 6 files full of raw images!!!!
    Why did you, as a photographer, not make several backups, not just one or a partial one, of your material?

  • Reminders disappear after computer restart.

    I've just started to use iCal instead of Entourage for my calendar.
    I have several notifications for upcoming appointments in iCal. They appeared earlier on my desktop as intended.
    However, when I restarted my computer the notifications are no longer there. They should remain until I dismiss them.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit mode).
    Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

    My ipod shuffle disappears after I click on the icon in Itunes. I reinstalled Itunes and my computer has been updated. What else can I do?

    The shuffle icon in iTunes disappears, after you click on the icon in iTunes?  If so, if you do not click on the shuffle icon in iTunes, does it remain there indefinitely?  Are you looking at the shuffle icon in the iTunes sidebar?

  • After an "event" on my computer, all of my playlists were deleted. All of my music is still there, but I am concerned about synching my idpod, as many hundreds of hours were involved in creating the playlists and I do not want to lose them. Suggestions?

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • My old computer died just after I transferred iTunes via external HD.  When I transferred the content from the HD to the new computer, most songs won't play.  Message is "Can't identify source".  Sharing was on in the old computer when it died.

    Dictation in text message = Does not work
    Speaking with Siri via activated with Home button = Does not work
    Speaking with Siri with "Raise to Speak' = WORKS
    Voice Memos = WORKS
    Speaker phone on call = WORKS
    Voice control instead of Siri = WORKS
    I've tried hard reset, settings reset, wiping and reloading backup...nothing. Was hoping 7.1 might offer some respite, but no dice....
    I was hoping 7.1 would somehow solve it.

  • Aperture 3.2.4 macbookpro lion: image disappears after loading from any project; repairing everything on starting app doesn't fix it. Only restarting the computer works. Any help, please? ... in non-technical language please. Thanks

    aperture 3.2.4, macbookpro lion: image disappears after loading from any project; repairing everything on starting app doesn't fix it. Only restarting the computer works. Any help, please? ... in non-technical language please. Thanks

    “Hi Kirby, thanks a lot for your answer.
    I got one answer, from DMoore, saying:
    “Try Safe boot and then restart with only Aperture open.  Still doent work write back with more details like Ram, HD capacity/free space.  Are these thumbnails or Previews? Have you turned off building previews in AP preferances?
    Safe boot   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
    Starting up into Safe Mode does several things:
    1  It forces a directory check of the startup volume.
    2  It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
    3  In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode runs only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems; these are different than user-selected account login items).
    4  It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
    5  It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
    6  It disables all startup items and login items (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
    7  Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: A Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache at (/var/db/dyld/). A cache with issues may cause a blue screen on startup, particularly after a Software Update. Restarting normally recreates this cache.”
    As I don’t know much about the technical aspects of computers, I don’t really understand the first answer, and it sounds like following it might produce unwanted changes.
    But I understand your questions, so I’ll try to answer them;
    "loading from any Project" means that I encounter the problem when I’m using a project, possibly after/because I’ve left the Mac on overnight, and/or  I’ve made a lot of adjustments, and, once the problem is there, it happens in any other project which I open – the images load then disappear.
    I can see images in the Browser, so it only happens in the Viewer(s).
    I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean by: “If you select "Photos" from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector, does it show you all of your Images?”. I am a newcomer to Aperture, so I don’t know what some of the buttons are for yet, but when I want to look at and adjust my pictures, I import them, as referenced images, then Aperture creates a folder/project in the Library. When I click on that Project (when it’s working properly), all the images appear in the Browser or the Viewers  – without me needing to “select Photos from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector”. I selected it and looked at all the items in the dropdown menu, but none of them seems to offer the option to ‘show all the images’. So I’m not sure how to answer your question except to say that – yes, I can see all the pictures in the Browser or the Viewers (when it’s working properly), but I don’t seem to need to use the Photos button to achieve this.
    Did Aperture work before?
    Yes it worked ok for a while, but I only purchased it on 24th May.
    If I understand correctly, the difference between thumbnail and preview is that the thumbnail is what I see when the “Loading” wheel is turning, and the disappearance of this wheel after a few seconds means that I am now looking at the preview (also, the thumbnail cannot be adjusted).
    So I think the problem occurs when the thumbnail has finished loading; the viewer going blank/grey might mean that it is not showing the preview.
    But I have not changed the default Preview settings in Aperture Preferences.
    My macbookpro details:
    2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 8 Gb 1333 MHz DDR3
    Hard Drive capacity 499.25 GB
    Available 387.36 GB
    I have noticed another problem: I cannot apply the same rating to multiple images: following the instructions, I select a group of contiguous (or non- contiguous) images, choose a selection eg “5stars” using the keyboard, but the stars only appear in the last selected image – even though all the images are still showing as selected.”
    I hope this helps you to understand more.
    Thank you for trying to help me.
