How long do events appear in iCal

Hi,
Been googling for this answer but to no avail. The reason I ask is that last night I needed to find the date of a prior appt. but they were all gone. I could've sworn that iCal used to save them. I checked my prefs and I still don't have the "delete items after they have passed" checked. So unless I missed something or there was some bug that I wasn't aware of, can someone tell me if this has changed or there is now a time period that iCal will hold events. If this has been discussed before, can someone please provide the link.
Really appreciate it and thank you.
Ivan

I have recently noticed the same problem, seem to have lost everything older than 5 weeks ago. Hopefully someone at Apple can shed some light on this really soon.

How to delete events from iPhone/iCal

How can I delete old/no longer happening recurring events--or any events--from my iPhone?

If you see the "+" button then you have not clicked on the event you want to delete. When you do you will see another screen that looks like the one below.

I have successfully uploaded my self published book. How long before it will appear in Breakout Books or general category?

Hi - I successfully uploaded two ebooks - both mystery/thrillers. I can find them when I search by name but as of yet they do not appear within the mystery catalogue of books. Also will they appear in Breakout Books since they are self published? Thanks

Surely you've seen some of the on-going threads on this topic?
Once my book is uploaded, how long before it appears in iTunes?
As far as suggestions go...be patient.

How long does it really take to get a book into the ibookstore?

Hello All,
I delivered my epub to Apple on March 26th and for the first 34 days my books status had a single red icon, book in review for quality assurance. I continued to wait and last week to my horror, I had two red icons, with a new message of Unknown Issue. It has now been 43 days since I delivered my Ebup which had no problems or errors noted when it uploaded. Ironically, the book is on Amazon and Barnes and Noble which both took less than 48 hours from delivery to being available for sale (and it is selling).
Lastly, (can you sense my frustrated ?) my book is a positive story about my 26 year friendship with Steve Jobs who in 1984 sent me the first Imac 128K with a note to "Be part of the future". The book can be found here -> http://www.amazon.com/Steve-Photographers-Improbable-Journey-ebook/dp/B007G1B3TS /ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336410606&sr=8-1
I have sent 4 queres to the itunes teams and each time it seems I am receiving an automated:
Thank you for contacting iBookstore Publisher Support.

HELP! Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Events appear twice on iCal

I have been using iCal for months, first on a PowerBook G4 and now on a MacBook pro, and I have not previously encounterd any problems with it.
All of a sudden today, I noticed that all of the events appear twcie. I don't know how long this has has been occuring, but I don't remember seeing it just a day or two ago.
Has anybody else seen this happen? Could it be something that I did? Does anybody know how to fix it (short of deleting the second occurrence for EVERY event manually)?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Alan,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are you syncing iCal at all?
See my responses to this post to remove duplicates in iCal.

How to make New Events appear at TOP of page, not Bottom?

When I import photos, they are automatically put into a new Event. That's great. But that Event appears way at the bottom of my long events list, even though my Events are shown chronologically with the most recent events right at the top. I have to drag the new event all the way through dozens of older events in order to bring it up to the top, where I can figure out which other event folders those new images might belong (ex: "family photos, Fall 2008").
This isn't the biggest problem in the world, but I'd love to know how to set iPhoto to create the new event at the top of the list instead of the bottom. Any help? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In the View->Sort menu select Descending. However that will also have the photos in the Photos mode be sorted descending. In the Event mode you can sort the events in one direction and the photos in those events in the other. In the Photos mode both the Events and photos are sorted the same direction.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
Thanks

Hi,
I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.

How do I get rid of event details in iCal in iOS?

I'm trying to learn how to get rid of event details in iCal on my iPhone. With the event itself "edit" comes up when I touch the item. For event details, however, the "edit" option does not appear.

Not quite sure what you mean by "details", but after touching Edit for the event, touch the lines with the name and location and a cursor shows with the keyboard to edit those.
Note that you won't be able to edit Exchange synced calendars.
Also note that "iCal" is the OS X app. The iOS app on your iPhone is "Calendar."

Delegates no longer appear in iCal

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion (10.8.2), and now my Google calendar delegates no longer appear in iCal. They show up in the menu of calendars, but not on the calendar itself. They still show up on my iPhone and my Google calendar on the web.
How do I get them back? I've seen one solution for loading each delegate calendar as a separate calendar, but that seems unnecessarily painful, especially for something that was working fine 3 days ago.
Thanks,
Gordon

I deleted and re-added my Google Calendar from iCal and selected the delegates. Nothing improved. I rebooted and still could not see the delegates. However, I went back to (menu) Calendar > Preferences > Accounts > My Google Account > Delegation and clicked on the delegates again. They reappeared.
I then went to my actual Google Calendar (in the browser, not iCal) and added a new Calendar. I switched back to iCal and added the new delegate. All delegates dissappeared, again!
It seems like when your applying changes to your delegates they break in iCal. However, once all changes are done with, everything works fine.
A few things to note:
It's not necessary to reboot in order to restore the working order of Google delegates in iCal. You must exit iCal and force terminate the CalendarAgent process in the system monitor. When you re-open iCal the delegates slowly reappear.
Under the View menu you can choose to see all delegates and calendars by clicking Show Calendar List. A left sidebar will appear with all calendars and delegates.
By default your calendar will syncronize every 15 minutes. This can be changed under menu Calendar > Preferences > Accounts > Your Google Account under the Account tab. Nonetheless, you can force syncronize with the Cmd+R keys or clicking Refresh Calendars under the View menu.
Calendars can be filtered under the Window menu. If your calendars aren't showing up, make sure that Calendar is ticked under the Window menu. You can also use the Cmd+0 keys.

In mail "create new ical event" has stopped appearing in ical

Please help! I love clicking on data in email to bring up the "Create New iCal Event" box, and using it to put new events into my ical calendar. But recently when I "Create New iCal Event" from an email, and click "add to iCal" the window closes but the event doesn't show up in iCal. I can still add events by clicking on a calendar date in iCal and typing them in, but the link between Mail and iCal seems to be broken. How can I fix it?
Could this be related to how Firefox recently broke? Foxfire will not save bookmarks any more, either, I click on "Bookmarks," then "Bookmark this page". The window closes but the bookmark does not save. Also, the forward/backward browser arrows no longer work on Foxfire.

Could you be more specific? What happens (or fails to happen?)

Event created on iPhone does not appear in iCal

When I create an event on my phone and sync, it does not appear in iCal. Events created on my laptop sync without issue. Contacts sync both ways, but calendar events do not go from the phone to the computer. I am not using MobileMe to sync, simply using the USB cable.
I have tried the following to resolve my issues:
* Make sure iTunes and iPhone are up to date
* Make sure all calendars are set to sync with iTunes
* Try different USB ports on the laptop
* Restart phone and computer
* Reset sync history in iSync and re-sync
* Follow directions in this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 to do a full reset of sync history and re-sync
Yet after trying all of those solutions, I still cannot sync events created on my phone to my laptop. Does anyone out there know of anything else I can try that might work?
Thank you,
Cameron

After a trip to the genius bar, I found how to solve this problem, at least for me:
0) Plug in iPhone
1) Start iCal
2) Export all calendars (File -> Export)
3) Quit iCal
4) Delete all calendars from ~/Library/Calendars
5) Start iCal
6) Import all exported calendars
7) Start iTunes, configure syncing to overwrite calendars on phone
8) Sync iPhone

Events received in Mail not appearing in iCal

My fiancee is having some problems with iCal. When she receives an event it used to (and still does on my machine) appear in iCal automatically, whether she had read the email or not. Now, to get an event from Mail into iCal she has to open the attachment.
Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Is she receiving them as iCal event invitations from an iCal user?
If so, for me anyway, these do show up directly in iCal without opening them in Mail. And as you're aware, they are counted up with the little red number on the iCal icon down in the Dock.
Now when I get invitations for my iCal from OUTLOOK (non-iCal, basically) users, this never happens. I have to explicitly open the invite in Mail, double-click the icon to get it over into iCal, etc.
If you're talking about pure iCal-to-iCal invites, I agree, her system is not working as mine does or I would expect it to. Maybe take a look into iCal -> Preferences? --DG

I was deleting particular events in my iCal but now all of the events in that category have gone from iCloud and all of my devices. How do I get them back?

How do I restore events in my iCal and iCloud? I was deleting particular events that weren't relevant to that week and then all of the events in that category have disappeared. I want them back. How do I do this?

did you ever get an answer? The same thing just happened to me!

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

No. When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library. Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications. You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

ICal / iPhone sync problems - events don't appear in iCal

I have MobileMe set up on both my MacBook and iPhone. All iCal-created events now appear on my iPhone (although only those after 9th May 2008; none before), but if I create an event on my iPhone then it doesn't show up on iCal. If I check MobileMe on the internet, my web-based version of iCal has all events, including those that I create on the iPhone.
On iCal I have two calendar types: Home (Blue) and Work (Green). On my iPhone there are now four types, for some reason: two Homes (both Blue) and two Works (both Green). I have tried experimenting by creating events in all calendars, but none sync to appear in iCal on my MacBook.
Help!

After 3.5 hours on the phone with applecare, I believe this problem of not syncing ical from ipod touch to the ical app is resolved. Here are the steps that made it happen for me:
Log out of main account and log into root account. If you haven't set up the root user yet follow the directions in your Mac Help on your computer. Make sure you understand the implications of setting up the root user account. You may want to disable the root user after you are done with this fix.
In Finder, navigate to /Users/(your account)/Library/Application Support and delete every folder in the Application Support directory that has the word 'Sync' in the folder's name.
Log out of the root account and back into your main account. Sync your ipod touch / iphone and see if this worked for you.
Good Luck!
