Help: I cannot see or edit events in iCal. What to do?

Please help. I cannot open the event editor to change or see contents of an event. I am using an Intel MacBook, iCal, and The Missing Sync for Palm with a Palm Centro. The events show fine on my Centro, but I cannot double-click the events on iCal on my MacBook in order to see or edit the attached notes. Maybe an unrelated problem is that times of events in iCal are not the same on my Centro (some are, some are not). I cannot seem to determine what happened to the events as shown on my MacBook. Any ideas?

I talked to AppleCare support earlier today and they guided me to the solution. Seems like my iCal file had became corrupted for some reason (iCal or Palm Centro or Missing Sync to blame?--who knows). Anyway, the solution was to remove the file "com.apple.iCal.plist" Once that was done, iCal recreated the file after I reopened iCal and all was well. We'll see how long this fix lasts -- I hope forever.

Cannot see or edit time of events in iCal

I cannot see or edit times in iCal any longer, only dates. This affects only one user, so I guess that there is a corrupted user-specific resource file somewhere that I could try renaming/deleting. Does anyone have any ideas?
I believe that this condition was triggered by creating an iCal event from Mail.
More details and a screenshot at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=8110912&postcount=10
Thanks for any hints/suggestions.

Eventually found in System Preferences -> International -> Formats that my region was set to "Custom". I have no idea how this happened - I certainly never set this directly through system preferences.
I selected "United Kingdom" as my region, and the times showed up in iCal once again.

Please help: User cannot see webi report data

Hi,
I've got a wired problem here in my webi report. Basically I am located in Singapore and produced a webi report for our user in UK. The report looks totally fine with all the data shown correctly. But when our report user logged into the dashboard from UK, she could only see partial data and some of the information are missing(blank cells in the report).
To verify the cause I've done the following test:
1. I remote control her computer and log into dashboard using my account, the result is I get same problem and I cannot see some of the data.
2. I let her remote control my pc and log into dashboard using her account, she no longer has this problem and can see complete data.
We use same version of IE, same JAVA version. And the report data is not time sensitive, so different time zone might not the possible cause.
This problem is killing me. Can anyone please help and let me know any possible solution? Thanks so much.

Hi Sinsin, what version of BusinessObjects are you using? Is it XI 3.1?
I don't know if it is the same problem or not, but I have seen that before when a user cannot view the data, change the font and/or background color and the data becomes visible. Reinstalling the client fixed that problem. If you couldn't figure out the root cause, you might want to consider this option.
If you are using the BusinessObjects tool, you should join [ASUG|www.asug.com]

IPhoto 9 does not save edits, cannot see the edited photo except in the edit panel

Hi Friends,
I am a macbook pro user, OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto 9 - 8.1.2
The problem - noise edits of my pictures are not saved, I do not see the edited version of the photo in the iPhoto album or event, my photo prints only monochrome on the HP 1280 inkjet printer and that too only the original version.
Crop edits are however saved as are enhancements.
Solutions tried thus far - creating a new library by holding the "option" button pressed on launching iPhoto and importing pictures to the new library - no good.
I have seen the Library Manager based solution on these forums, so where to get the library manager.
thanks for your help

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

Help - G4 cannot see Time Capsule on Powerup

Hi,
I have one computer - an old G4, an iPhone and a PS3 connected to my Time Capsule (bought in May).
-G4 is connected by Ethernet
-PS3 and iPhone wirelessly
I usually put my G4 to sleep, and wake it, and everything's fine.
Twice now, the power has gone out, and when it comes back, the Time Capsule is green, and the PS3 and iPhone can see it. I boot the G4, and it cannot see it. The G4 also shows a date in 1969 (does that indicate other issues?).
I have tried the following both times -
Resetting the Time Capsule with the pin - does not work
Unplugging and resetting the time capsule with pin - does not work
Rebooting the computer and clearing out the PRAM - does not work
Changing the date to after 2001 on the clock, - no help
Of course, now that I've reset the time capsule, I can't configure it again and have lost the wireless connection.
Last time I eventually got it to work - but it seemed random as to how. I'm frustrated, and I would like any advice possible. I hope it's the computer and not the Time Capsule. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.

Now I'm getting really annoyed.
Went to see the mac genius today at the Apple store. Saw it wirelessly no problem.
Saw it via Ethernet no problem. When I got him to check that there was a file on the hard drive he did it wirelessly though.
Told me Time Capsule was fine (and I believe him). Told me to take it home, create a second ethernet connection, and trash preferences for "System Configuration" if necessary. Did all that, booted, found the Time Capsule no problem.
Thought my problem was solved, but was it?
Turned off the computer, turned it on a few hours later - will not see Time Capsule, Airport will not recognize it AGAIN. Tried trashing preferences and rebooting - it doesn't work.
I'm able to connect the ethernet cable directly to the DSL modem and use PPPOE, it's fine.
I don't get it. What else can I do?

IMovie cannot see projects and events on Synology NAS

I am using their 3.1 firmware. Which I believe is the latest.
And I have the latest Lion OS on my MB Pro.
I realized today that iMovie does not see the hard drive the way it used to in Snow Leopard.
I have read other threads here where people were using ReadyNAS and everything started working after Lion OS upgrade.
But that is not the case for me.
Anybody any ideas as to what to do?
Thanks!

I am using:
- Synology NAS with DSM 4.0,
- iMove '11
- Lion OS 10.7.3
iMovie cannot see my library on the NAS either.

Help! Cannot see bounding box.

I don't know what I did, but I cannot see bounding boxes around items in one motion project...
I think I must have turned them off by accident.
I am able to see bounding boxes in other motion projects... just not this one. I also restarted the program, to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I didn't know about this. Thanks.
However, I checked and it is already checked off... So it's something else...
I figure something is wrong with the file. I just made a new project and copied and pasted everything in there... and viola, there they are.

Edit events in iCal on Wiki calendar

I know that it's by default not supported, the editing of events from the Wiki calendar in iCal, but still I wanna know if there's a work around.
Does anybody know if there's a work around, coding-wise, programming-wise or whatever-wise, to be able to edit events from the Wiki calendar in iCal?
Now I get a message every time I wanna edit an event that i can't edit it from iCal. But I want other people who sign up to the calendar also to be able to edit the events from their own calendar program.

Hello there skier3,
You should be able to edit an event in the Calendars app by tapping the event in quuestion and then tapping edit shown here:
iCloud: Using iCloud Calendars with Calendar and iCal
Tap the event to display event details, including the name of the calendar that contains the event:
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Cannot see video in Event library preview browser"

I am trying to preview video clips in my event library browser. When I click on the clips to preview/play, I hear the audio, but do not see any video. I can however still drag them to a project where I can see and hear them video like "normal". I was able to do this yesterday, but cannot do this today...I am thinking one of my kids was in iMovie and changed a setting or something....please help!

>just kept all the defaults
Well... that is just about like trying to force a square peg into a round hole... in other words, each type of video needs the correct preset

Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project

Cannot Edit Events in iCal

I completed the new software updates yesterday and since then, I cannot edit any of my entries in iCal. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Mandy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
1. How are you trying to edit your events?
2. How many calendars do you have?
3. Are any of the calendars "Subscribed?"
4. What happens when you try to edit an event?
;~)

When I try to change the start position for a still image in iMovie, nothing happens. I cannot see the full picture no matter what I try. Any help?

I have been using iMovie on my ipad for a while. When I add a still image to a movie, it adds close up, with only the enlarged center portion of the picture showing. I try to zoom out after tapping the Start button (Ken Burns), but there is no change. There's also no change with the End button.
Any suggestions?

For reasons only known to Apple, you cannot zoom so far out of an image as to create black areas.
So sadly you cannot zoom out to show the full image.
The only work around is to edit the photo in a photo editing app, and add Black bars on the sides, or top and bottom till the image is the 16:9 aspect ratio.

Help! Cannot see ABS in Airport Utility

This has gone on a while. I now want to add a Airport Express however neither of these show up in the Airport Admin Utility. I have restarted and reset the ABS with no luck. Am I missing something. It should just show up. My signal is strong and the connection to the internet is fine. What's up? Here is what I have:
PB 1ghz
Airport Extreme
Airport Express
Speed Stream 5360 dsl modem
OSX 10.4.3 was happening with earlier versions
Airport Software 4.2
Thanks in Advance Norm

Make sure on your Mac that in System Preferences->Network->Show ethernet built in->TCP/IP tab that the only selection is to "configure using DHCP". Then turn off the Mac's Airport card (Airport menu), plug the ethernet cable from the Mac into the AEBS ethernet LAN port, and see whether that works any better.
Sometimes it helps to just try using another Mac or a PC - and see whether it has any better luck. That would rule out the possibility that you just have (for lack of better words) a "messed up Mac".
If that fails, I suggest you try a hard reset and reconfiguration per the article Starting from scratch

Help! Cannot see User Data...

I have been using Palm Desktop 4.2 for some time on my notebook (Windows XP SP3) for contacts/address book, calendar and memos but a couple of days ago Desktop doesn't see the data anymore. The files are still there in the user name folder and I can see part of the data if I import the files one by one but I guess there is a simple method for re-connecting the Desktop application with the user folder. I've looked through the Knowledge Base and the forum but couldn't find a query that matched this exactly.
Thanks!
