How do I restore my calendar after a Thunderbird crash?

While attempting to print out an email (no attachments) Thunderbird crashed. After restoring Thunderbird (and able to view all my email accounts) I opened my calendar via the "Events and Tasks" tab. The calendar opens up but no content that I had created in the calendar or that came in from outside meeting invitations. If I go directly to Google calendar via Firefox, the contents are there. However I cannot access my google calendar from the Thunderbird calendar. Google Calendar shows as an option under "calendar" to left of the actual calendar.

I remember having had a similar situation.
Perhaps in the [[Add-Ons and Extensions FAQ#w_how-do-i-see-which-add-ons-are-installed|add-on menu]] the Lightning extension is disabled or no longer visible? If so, re-enable it.
Alternatively, you may disable (or even uninstall), quit Thunderbird, then enable (re-install); I think this is what I did. Data should not get lost, but of course you'd always rather [[Profiles TB#w_backing-up-a-profile|backup]] before doing any critical procedure.

  • How do you restore iCal calendars in Time Machine

    I recently updated to iCloud from Mobile Me and when I opened iCal I noticed that the Mobile Me calendars and the iCloud Calendars were the same, so I deleted all my Mobile Me calendars and to my horror realized after reopening iCal that all the caledars were deleted in the iCloud calendar as well.
    How do I restore those calendars via Time Machine? I am running OS X Lion and although I have made the terminal change so I can see my user Library folder, within Time Machine it does not show up.
    Help!!

    Well, I guess they're not really ical backups, per se.
    When i went to migrate MobileMe to iCloud, it said "make sure you back up your calendars first" and I almost didn't do it because I figured I have TM if I need it, but decided just to be safe...
    so I did file>export>export for each calendar.
    Then after the migration seemed to go smoothly, I deleted them.
    Then got into this snafu.
    Fortunately, was able to TM back to the desktop from right before I erased them.
    so I restored them, then imported them one by one, and so far it looks like everything is good.  Knock on wood.
    It's still frightening to me though that an accidental deletion from the cloud turns into a day of screwing around to restore things!!  It shouldn't be that easy to just permanently erase so much important data. I shouldn't have to manually export all my calendars every day if I want a backup...

    How can I restore my calendar from yesterday's version on my Mac?

    I wasn't syncing it with anything.  I had plugged in an upcoming drs appt, apparently something was still open on my calendar when I received a call. Took the call and after I hung up I had my phone face down on my lap in the car.  Had intended to go back to the calendar when I reached my destination. When I got there and looked at my calendar, absolutely nothing was on it.

  • How to recover/restore deleted calendar?

    How to recover/restore deleted calendar?

    Actually, restore deleted calendar got the same steps as restore deleted messages. You must be a Microsoft Exchange Server account.
    1.In the folder from which the item was deleted, or in the Deleted Items folder, on the Folder tab, in the Clean Up group, click Recover Deleted Items.
    Note: If the Recover Deleted Items command is missing
    An Exchange account is required for this command to appear. If you are using an Exchange account and don’t see the command, contact your Exchange administrator.
    2.Click an item, and then click Recover Selected Items .
    Note: Your Exchange administrator specifies the retention time for deleted items. After this time elapses, deleted items cannot be restored.

  • I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

    I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

    Please always post your System details when you have a query. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
    Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
    Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
    Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

    My calendar information is accurate in iCloud but has disappeared from my iphone. How do I restore my calendar information back onto my iphone?

    On your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud.
    Turn Calendars off for over the air syncing. If you are provided a prompt to save any calendar events locally on the iPhone, decline.
    Wait 5 minutes or so followed by turning Calendars back on for over the air syncing.

    Some ways to get space
    You can first remove seldom used apps. If you decide later you want them back you can always download them again. You can also download the Dropbox app and off load some of your little used pics and files to open up space. The app is free and you get 2 gb of free storage and if you get friends to install Dropbox they will give you 500 extra mb for each friend who installs it. Many apps will let you save direct to Dropbox.

  • How do I restore my calendars from time machine?  I'm in iCloud.

    I had been getting double entries on my calendar function on my macbook pro.  I went into the calendar tab and deleted one of the duplicate calendar sets, one by one.  But the resulted in the elmination of both sets of calendars, so it's now all blank.  It's also blank on my phone, my ipad, and my imac, as well as on icloud.com. 
    This happened yesterday and I restored the calendar by hand.  What gives?  How to fix?
    Thanks.
    Paul

    Never mind.  I found out how to do it from a previous post.  Sorry.

  • Restoring iCal calendars after disk crash

    OK, I haven't found this on any discussions I've read so far.
    My disk died on my MacBook Pro on Wednesday. It's in the shop. Fortunately I had backed it up on the Saturday before. Now I am temporarily using my iMac. Both are (were) on Leopard.
    My question is - what did Apple do to the calendar files!? Through Tiger, calendar files were .ics files, and they corresponded directly to my different calendars by name. When I went to Library/Calendars, some of those were there, but they were ones from long ago. However, there were all these .calendar folders there with an Event folder and a file called info.plist in each of them.
    In the Events folders for all these are files named, for example, 00C6C072-2C48-4B99-B3A2-B3241655578A.ics, and these .ics files are the only ones iCal seems to want to import. But when I import them, they are single events, as far as I can tell and the name of the "calendar" in my Calendars list in iCal is, for example, 00C6C072-2C48-4B99-B3A2-B3241655578A. This, of course, isn't at all helpful in trying to restore old calendars - or new ones - by importing them. So, it seems to me that Import is useless in this situation or any other.
    Has anyone got any info that can help me understand what they've done here and why (well, no one probably wants to know why), and how I get my calendars back?
    Hopefully the tech fixing my MacBook Pro will be able to recover some data from the disk drive, and the old calendars will be among the data recovered, but even then, with this new system of saving calendars and events, how does one import calendars into the newly installed iCal?
    I'm not looking forward to having to rebuild my calendars, but it's looking as if I may have to. So far, this design of iCal is not a better idea.
    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.

    Well I finally solved the problem. The confusion is in the wording.
    Both iCal and Address Book have functions that work well to move calendars and contacts from one machine to the other.
    Menu\File\Back up Database.
    Menu\File\Revert to Database Backup.
    Well I was scared of the Revert to Database Backup. It works. When you do so, you just point the program to the backup that you just made from the other machine, if it's what you are trying to accomplish.
    I hope this might help you.
    Maybe everybody knows how to do this and I am a slow brain - Leon.
