How can I restore iCal from time machine

Hi can I restore the data from iCal from time machine?

The data is in ~/Library/Calendars 
The folders have gibberish names; you can't tell which folder is which calendar, so you probably need to restore the entire folder.
But if you have your Calendars synched via iCloud, there may not be anything there, since iCloud is where the "real" data resides.

    I have no clue what you mean by "agenda," but any file that Time Machine has backed up can be restored using instructions you'll find on this page:

  • Entourage 2008 calendar deleted. How can i restore it from time machine backup?

    I have my Entourage 2008 calendar sync with ical. I accidentally deleted Entourage on the left column of ical, and it deleted the calendar on on Entourage. I want to restore the calendar. I have used time machine to backup my hard drive. I just don't know how or what to do.

    Quit iCal.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
    ~/Library/Calendars
    Enter Time Machine and restore the selected folder from the last snapshot that was taken before the deletion. Relaunch iCal and test.

  • How can I restore iMessages from Time Machine to a clean install?

    Hello,
    I just recently did a clean install of Mavericks.  I was wondering how to transfer all my saved iMessages from my Time Machine drive to this clean install?
    Thanks in advance!

    Sign out of iMessage and all other IM accounts, if any. Quit Messages. Hold down the option key and select
              Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. A folder window will open.
    Enter Time Machine and restore the subfolder named "Messages" from a backup that predates the unwanted changes, then log out and log back in.
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, delete the subfolder Containers/com.apple.iChat.

  • How can I restore HD from Time Machine on 10.7?

    My daughter's MacBook Air had water damage and hard drive was replaced. She has a full backup on time machine. She has already turned on the computer with the new hard drive on and clicked "later" when prompted to restore. What do we need to do to now get all the contents of her hard drive as backed up on TM moved on to her new HD?

    Do I hold down command R when I startup?
    Yes.
    Does this partition the computer's hard drive and therefore use up part of the space?
    No. The recovery partition was created when you installed Lion. It's invisible.
    Any known problems from doing it this way rather than re-installing Lion and using Set Up Assistant?
    As long as you have a full backup to restore from, it should be the same.

  • HT201250 How do I restore photos from Time Machine?  All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file.  I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file.  Any idea

    How do I restore photos from Time Machine?  All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file.  I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file.  Any ideas?

    You might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
    I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library.  What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date.  If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library.  Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
    Not tidy but it seems it will work.
    Ciao.

  • HT4901 Can I restore my calendars and reminders from iCal?  If not, can I restore them from Time Machine?

    Apparently I allowed iCloud to delete all of my calendar and reminder information from my Mac.
    Can I restore it from iCloud, if not can I restore it from Time Machine?

    It sounds as though it's not in iCloud anymore.
    You may find that restoring from Time Machine results in the information simply disappearing again. You might try this: disable iCloud syncing, restore from Time Machine, re-enable syncing and choose the merge option when presented.

  • HT201250 How can I exclude mail from Time Machine backups?

    How can I exclude mail from Time Machine backups?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Mails are stored on ~/Library/Mail, being ~ your user folder. As you are running Snow Leopard, it's easy to exclude your mails from your Time Machine backup.
    Open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and add ~/Library/Mail to excluded items, so the next backup won't include mails. Note that you have to go to your user folder, in order to access to this directory

  • Restore iCal from Time Machine Backup

    How do I restore iCal from a Time Machine backup?
    I read that I was could restore from the following folder: ~/Library/Application Support/iCal
    But this folder doesn't exist on my system.
    Any ideas?

    From home folder: library/calendars.
    Then get this update. A senior tech at Apple today had me get this more comprehensive update and it restored all my calendar entries which were totally gone. I restored the calendars folder then did the update. Problem fixed. You need this update anyway.

  • Restoring iCal from Time Machine

    I accidently deleted my calendars from iCal and then my blank iCal synced to mobileme and my iPhone so I lost everything. When I try to restore my iCal from Time Machine, it initially shows all my calendars when I open iCal, then it syncs to mobileme and I get a blank iCal again.
    Here's what I do:
    1. Quit iCal.
    2. Delete Calendar folder from Home>Library.
    3. Restore Calendar folder from Time Machine using the gear icon and "Restore to ..."
    Then when I open iCal it restores perfectly, then syncs to mobileme and erases again.
    After talking to an apple tech, he suggested going into iCal's preferences and deleting the mac.com and trying the above steps again. That doesn't work. I even tried going into System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync>Advanced>Reset Sync Data to replace info on mobileme with sync info from my computer. That didn't work either.
    What step am I missing to restore my iCal from Time Machine?

    kanagashi,
    You are welcome...thanks for your kind comments.
    I'm still having sync issues with MobileMe though, the "On My Mac" calendars aren't syncing to MobileMe.
    The "On My Mac" calendars will not sync to MobileMe. Did you complete Roger's checklist under the "Reconnect to the internet. Your MobileMe calendars will disappear as before. Now carry out the following process with each of the 'On My Mac' calendars:" paragraph?
    Syncing should be possible after carrying out those steps.

  • I lost my printer set up.  Can I restore it from Time Machine?

    I accidentally lost my printer set ups and need to restore them.  Can it be done from Time Machine?

    If you don't know what they are, you'll need to go the printer manufacturer's website and check the drivers for your printer. It will then be far the easiest thing just to download them from there.
