How can I load iCal data into Calendar and Address Book data into Contacts?

I just bought a MacBook Pro running Yosemite. Migration Assistant could not read the Backup of my old, dead iMac, so I have been transferring data manually. So far Contacts and Calendar are the only Apps I have not been able to set up.

What OS was the iMac running? I ask because where data is stored can change.

  • How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud

    How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud?

    You don't need them stored locally for a backup. You can manually export your contacts as archive for backup. Also, if you are backing up with Time Machine, you already have a backup. If your hard drive crashed, you would have to rely on your backup or iCloud anyway.
    So, if you're comfortable with that, sign out of iCloud. Choose to delete contacts from the computer. When you sign back into iCloud, you should only have iCloud contacts listed in AB. When you open iCal, you should only have one listing for birthdays.
    The other alternative is to disable the Birthday c.alendar and create one manually.

  • How can I share the same music but separate calendars and address book for 2 users on the same computer?

    Can anyone help to answer if I can share the same music account on itunes but still maintain separate calendars and address books on the same computer?

    Make sure each user has their own computer login.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to /Users/Shared.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library and select /Users/Shared/iTunes/ folder.
    Quit iTunes and log into other user.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library and select /Users/Shared/iTunes/ folder.
    That is all you need to do.
    Any changes in iTunes by one will be seen by all others (since you are using the same library).
    All users will have their own Contacts & Calendars and all other info.
    If you are using Fast User switching, you must quit iTunes before switching users if others wish to use iTunes.

    Darrell,
    Thanks for this response. After I posted mine, I saw that the resetForm JavaScript method is documented as being supported starting with version 10.5: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Mobile/js.html
    But I haven't been able to get it to work. Can you clarify if support was indeed added and if it works for you?

  • Why won't my Mac with Mt Lion update my calendar and address book through iCloud

    Why won't my Mac w Mt Lion update mt Calendar and Address book through the Icloud?

    Are you really still running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) as shown in your profile? If so, that's why. Full use of iCloud needs at least Lion 10.7.2 or Mountain Lion.
    If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion and forgot to update your profile, here are some things to check:
    Is it on a network?
    Is it signed into iCloud? The same iCloud Account?
    Are Contacts and "Calendars & Reminders" checked in the iCloud and same account's "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" panels of System Preferences?
    Are you looking at the correct accounts in Calendar and Contacts?

    Reset the device. If it doesn't work try removing your account and adding it again. If that doesn't work then try restoring the device to factory settings by pluggin into iTunes and clicking "Restore".

  • Migrating iCal and Address book data from Mac Pro G5  10.5 to new iMac10.6

    I last week moved from my old Mac Pro G5 with OS 10.5 to a new iMac 2.8 GHz Intel core i7.
    I succeeded pretty well to move my different files from one computer to the other not using the Migration assistant, which wouldn't work properly, but using my older Mac Pro as target disk.
    Everything apparently works well with the exception of the transfer of data from iCal and my Address Book.
    As suggested in a previous thread : kimaccdual: A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs, I tried to transfer the complete iCal and Address Book folders from : Home/Library/Application Support from the old to the new computer. This gave no result at all. Not any of the older data : appointments from iCal; names, addresses, phone numbers, etc (in actual fact : nothing) from the Address book application appears on the new iMac.
    Can any one make a suggestion as to what specific files with their exact location contain this information so that I could try to transfer these to my new computer with more success than so far.
    Thanks for your assistance
    Just for your information I succeeded to transfer Bookmarks from Safari, mails from Mail, iPhoto and iTunes data.
    What could be wring with iCal and Address Book ???

    Kappy,
    Thanks for your quick reply.
    I tried this for the iCal application, however without any success. In actual fact in Home/Library/Preferences I only found following references to iCal :
    com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist
    com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
    com.apple.iCal.plist
    which i copied from the old to the new computer as well as the iCal folder in Application Support as suggested.
    As already said without any success.
    As far as Address Book is concerned only the same type of files, but related to AB, are located on both computers.
    Am I missing something or should I look for other files elsewhere f.i. in the "Contents" folder of the application itself ???
    Thanks for anybody's further assistance

  • How do I get my old e-mails and address book back?

    My old computer died and I had to purchase a new one. The hard drive from the old computer is OK and I can access the files on it. What I need to do is get all my old e-mails and address book from the old hard drive and load them to Thunderbird on the new computer. I tried using the "import" feature, but it will not locate the old files. Could someone tell me where to find these files and how can I get them transferred to the new computer?

    If you haven't done too much already on the new computer, you could just copy the old profile over from the old computer to the new one.
    If there is already a collection of messages in the new installation, then I'd copy in the old profile, set it as default, then use the ImportExportTools add-on to import the mailbox files from the new profile, thereby bringing the old profile up to date.

  • Mail and address book data file location

    Does anyone know where mail and address book saves its data?
    My old mac died but I was able to remove the hard drive and mount it in a external firewire case. The drive mounts and appears in good shape. I tried using the migration utility to transfer my data into my new iMac. While a lot of data and applications did make the move, my mail files and folders did not show up on my new iMac. I'm hoping I can transfer the mail files manually. The problem is I can't find where they are located on my old computer. I was using Max os 10.4.11 on my old computer.
    The same problem with my address book data. It did not transfer over with migration app. and I can't locate this data either.

    The majority of Mail is in...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
    AB...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook

  • How can I restore iCal using the calendars on my iPhone

    I recently purchased a new iPhone and decided that this was maybe the time I should sign up for iCloud. What resulted was nothing short of havoc. Duplicate calendars, contacts, reminders, you name it, a giant mess. In the process of getting this all cleaned up I  have accidentally erased some of the many duplicates flying back and forth with my original data on it. I am now left with an iPhone that still has all my calendars, dates and reminders, but my iPad and, more importantly, my desk computer are left without anything at all.
    I tried to synch with iTunes, but that didn't help. The only way I can get an event back on to my desk computer is if I edit on my iPhone and then it is obviously pushed back to the computer. I tried restoring the Library/Calendars file with Time Machine just to get back to 6 hours ago. Nothing doing. iCal remains as empty as it was before. But it now has three Calendars files all with different time stamps.
    Is there a way that I can push all iCal data back to my desk computer via iCloud?
    I am doubly frustrated with this as I rely on my calendar to bill my customers the hours I write into the calendar after I've been with them, plus I seem to have exchanged the safe, if a bit cumbersome, synching via iTunes with something that is not up to par.
    Can anybody help me out of my predicament? I am terribly grateful for any suggestions
    Tom

    Hi, On both of your devices, go onto Settings>iCloud> Calanders [On]
    You need to make sure your signed into the same iCloud account though!

  • How can I load the selected XML File (Selected from a Listview) into the correct Textboxes?

    Right, so I have a windowsform with lots of Textboxes, where the user can type in Information, and then hit "Save", once its saved it goes into a sortof XML Format 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!--Database-->
    <Case>
      <Person>l<Driver></Driver><License-Holder></License-Holder><Address></Address><Phone></Phone><Date-of-Birth></Date-of-Birth><Registration></Registration>
    Like that.
    Now, on my Startup Form (The main form) there is a Listview that I gave the name Objectlist1. This list displays ANY file located in a specific folder on my computer. This is also where the Saved files appear.
    The list also updates every 5th second so after you save it appears quickly.
    Now, the Files are saved using the content or Value of the first Textbox:
    Dim XmlWrt As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("C:\Users\USER\Desktop\TESTFOLDER\" + Firsttextbox.Text, settings)
    So it appears in the folder and on the list with the value inserted in the first Textbox.
    My problem comes when I want to load this back (Or reverse the function if you will)
    Where I can go to the Objectlist1/Listview, either doubleclick a file or Mark a file, and hit my button "Retrieve"
    I want the Form where you could input all the values to show - which it does
    And the information from the XML/File saved to appear where it once was typed or inserted.
    Here is an example of the code used to save the values from the Textboxes;
    Private Sub Savebutton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Savebutton.Click
            If IO.File.Exists(Pholderbox.Text) = False Then
                Dim settings As New XmlWriterSettings()
                settings.Indent = True
                Dim XmlWrt As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("C:\Users\USER\Desktop\TESTFOLDER\" + Pholderbox.Text, settings)
                With XmlWrt
                    ' Write the Xml declaration.
                    .WriteStartDocument()
                    ' CLIENT
                    ' Write a comment.
                    .WriteComment("Database")
                    ' Write the root element.
                    .WriteStartElement("Case")
                    ' Start our first person.
                    .WriteStartElement("Person")
                    .WriteString(Textbox1.Text)
                    ' The person nodes.
                    .WriteStartElement("Driver")
                    .WriteString(Textbox2.Text)
                    .WriteEndElement()
    I've tried multiple codesamples but they all give either "XML Not found" or such Overloads.
    This is the current code I used when trying to make it work
    Private Function ReadSettingsXML(ByVal path As String) As MySettings # On Debug It marks here and tells me it wasn't found.
            Dim thisSettingsInfo As New MySettings
            If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString) Then
                Dim settingsInfo = XElement.Load(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString)
                If settingsInfo IsNot Nothing Then
                    For Each mainGroup As XElement In settingsInfo.Elements
                        If mainGroup.Name = "<Database>" AndAlso mainGroup.HasElements Then
                            For Each subGroup As XElement In mainGroup.Elements
                                If subGroup.Name = "<Person>" Then
                                    thisSettingsInfo.Textbox1 = subGroup.Value
                                ElseIf subGroup.Name = "<Driver>" Then
                                    thisSettingsInfo.Textbox2 = subGroup.Value
                                ElseIf subGroup.Name = "<Address>" Then
                                    thisSettingsInfo.Textbox3 = subGroup.Value
                                End If
                            Next
                        End If
                    Next
                Else
                    thisSettingsInfo = Nothing
                    Throw New Exception("The settings XML file is corrupt and cannot be read.")
                End If
            Else
                thisSettingsInfo = Nothing
                Throw New Exception("The settings XML file could not be located.")
            End If
            Return thisSettingsInfo
        End Function
        Private Sub LoadXML_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles LoadXML.Click
            Dim settings As New MySettings
            settings = ReadSettingsXML(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString)
            If settings IsNot Nothing Then
                Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
                With settings
                    Caseworker.Textbox1.Text = .Person
                    Caseworker.Textbox2.Text = .Driver
                    Caseworker.Textbox3.Text = .Address
                End With
            End If
        End Sub
    Also, the "Caseworker" is the form where all the textboxes are located.
    Been stuck on this for two working days, so any help is highly appreciated 
    Codesamples are also highly welcome so I can see what the heck you did and find and answer to my problems.

    I found a code that might be close to what I'm looking, but as of this code used here, it looks for a static document that already exist and is located in the code.
    See this one here, checks for the XML file, and since I can't link one program to 1 file, when its gonna have and use 100's of files.
            If (IO.File.Exists("MyXML.xml")) Then
                Same here with the static document.
                Dim document As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader("MyXML.xml")
                While (document.Read())
                    Dim type = document.NodeType
                    'if node type was element
                    If (type = XmlNodeType.Element) Then
                        If (document.Name = "FirstName") Then
                            TextBox1.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
                        End If
                        If (document.Name = "LastName") Then
                            TextBox2.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
                        End If
                    End If
                End While
    Am I at least close here, people? 
    Can anyone help with the now critical issue I got?
    I basically need to change these two;
     If (IO.File.Exists("MyXML.xml")) Then
                Same here with the static document.
                Dim document As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader("MyXML.xml")
    To whatever value, so they read from the file SELECTED in my Listview
    Cos the program saves files according to the info inserted in textboxes, so it can have whatever name you can think of, I need the program to "find and load" that file, once its selected, and then once I hit Retrieve or LOAD or whatever button, it
    injects the info from the File to the correct Textboxes.
    And I think this will work to get the info in the right boxes;
     If (document.Name = "FirstName") Then
                            TextBox1.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
                        End If
                        If (document.Name = "LastName") Then
                            TextBox2.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
    Any good advise? I'm stranded here.

  • How can I calling LabView DLL within LabView and pass similar Data Types?

    I am trying to use an Instrument Driver, which is created in LabView6.1 as a DLL. At this point I have only LabView to test this DLL. I was wondering, is there easy way to find out what sort of Parameter or Data Type I should be using.
    How can I pass the following data with in LabView:
    LVRefnum as Type?
    LVBoolean as Type?
    TD1 (a structure) as Type?
    It is funny to see that I am able to create a DLL in labview but having trouble calling it within LabView. I thought, it would be easier to test the DLL within the same environment.
    Basically, I am more worried about the VISA calls that are used in the driver to communicate with instrument. Because, there is no link to �VISA32.dll� in
    the header file, is that handled by the LV Run-time engine? I guess more details are needed on using the LabView DLL within LabView from National Instrument Technical Support.

    A LVRefNum seems to be an unsigned long data type (32bit). You can cast it
    in LV then use that as a parameter to call the DLL. (an Occurrence type
    seems to be a Ulong32)
    When you created the DLL what was the resulting type for the LVRefNum?

  • How can I delete all of my calendars and start over from scratch?

    I am sure this is an easy question because it seems that others before me have probably been in this situation. I wish to delete my calendars (and todo lists, etc) in iCal. In essence I want to start over from scratch as if I had not yet used iCal.
    Do you have any advice on how I can go about doing so?
    Thanks!
    Rod

    Rod,
    Select the calendar(s) you want to delete in the Calendars list on the left side of the iCal window. Then hit the delete key or select Delete from the Edit menu.

  • ICal and Address book data not pushed from iCloud to 10.6 Snow Leopard

    Hello,
    When I signed up to iCould, it said it will automatially push all data to my devices.
    However, the data I entered in contacts and calendar of my iPhone 4, does not appear in the Address Book and iCal of my MacBook Air with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
    Nether address book nor iCal gives the possibility to choose this type of syncing in preferences (there's only mobile me account mentioned there, to which I cannot sign up anymore).
    I checked in my icoud.com - i can see my new iCal data from iPhone there, but the address book is exaclty the same as in my MacBook Air. In other words, my new contacts are neither pushed from my iPhoe to iCloud (though I did choose this option in my iPhone), nor from icould to my Mac Book Air.
    Moreover, iTunes no longer syncs neither my Adreess Book nor iCal data manually since I've signed up for icoud. It says I do not need to sync via iTunes, as now all this data will be pushed from iCloud (which isn't happening). Even though I try to do it manually, the new data on iPhone simply does not show up in my Mac Book Air after the syncing is finished.
    Can someone please help me deal with this problem. Or maybe you know how to get to good old times, when I could sync everything manually?
    Would be very grateful for any advise.

    p.s. notes seem to be working ok

    I read an article in Apple Support not long ago about some features in iCloud that were usable in Snow Leopard, but I can't find it right now. I believe some syncing to iCloud from iTunes.
    Possible update to SL coming.

  • How can I point my iPhones to a specific address book for syncing?

    I only want contacts on my iPhones that have phone numbers and not email addresses.
    After creating a iPhone address book, how do I point iTunes to that book instead of the regular Contacts book?
    Have been able to do that in the past, but cannot do so running OSX 10.8 or 10.8.2.

    You'll have to use Wi-Fi to sync, Bluetooth is not supported:
    You can use iPhone with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and other Bluetooth devices, such as Bluetooth headsets, car kits, and stereo headphones. Third-party Bluetooth headphones may support volume and playback controls. See the documentation that came with your Bluetooth device. For supported Bluetooth profiles, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
    From the manual: iphone_user_guide 5 page 109
    Use iCloud to keep Contacts up to date on your iOS devices and computers
    Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Contacts. See “iCloud” on page 17.
