How to cancel an edit to an iCal event with attendees

I keep running into this--
- Open an existing event with attendees
- Make an edit of some kind
- Change your mind
- Forget what changes you made and/or not wish to let everyone already invited know that iCal is sometimes as crappy as Outlook.
- Only have the options to keep editing or send/update (i.e. send the updates to everyone)
There are lots of discussions about this:

The concensus seems to be that you can't do it.
However this seems to work for me (when I'm desparate):
Quit iCal
Go to the "Library" folder in your home directory, then to the "Calendars" folder (i.e. ~/Library/Calendars)
Delete the files "Calendar Cache~" and "Calendar Cache~" (you don't need to empty your trash)
Reopen iCal. It will resync the calendar.
I've only tried this with Exchange calendar items that have already synced with the server, so your milage may vary. I suppose it's possible that you may lose data this way.
Hope this helps someone since it doesn't seem like Apple is going to fix this anytime soon!

In step 3 above I said delete "Calendar Cache~" twice. I meant: delete "Calendar Cache" and also "Calendar Cache~" if that exists as well.

How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?

How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?
I have PremierePro-CS5 installed.
This stereo 3D camcorder (Sony HDR-TD10E), output an .MVC (MultiViewCoding) file, coded in H.264 format.
This format is already compatible with Bluray3D stereoscopic format.
1) But, how to edit the .MVC in Premiere?
2) What plugin should I use (if exists) for PremiereProCS5?
3) Cineform Neo3D, can manage the .MVC format? Can convert it to Cineform format file, for import it into Premiere?
4) What software should I use to convert an .MVC video to an AVCHD H.264 file, and import it into PremierePro CS5 or CS5.5 for editing?
Thanks!
Horsepower0171.

Sorry, I am Italian, it is very difficult for me to understand what he says!
I can just read the english text, or follow the actions of a videotutorial!
Thus my question is the same:
-What software can do that?
-Sony Vegas 10 do the Bluray3D authoring?
-For MVC editing, should I wait for Adobe CS6? Or is it planned an update for CS5.5?

How can our customer edit our Captivate 6 content with Captivate 5?

Our company has decided to dive into the e-learning business and create e-learnings. We just purchased a Captivate 6 subscription, unfortunately before finding out our customer uses Captivate 5. He would like to edit our files once in a while when he needs to if he doesn't have enough time to have us do it.   Is there anyway he can edit content produced in Captivate 6 with his Captivate 5. Can I export files of a certain type that he can in turn import and add to his Captivate 5 and edit himself? In other words, what kind of files can I export from Captivate 6 than he can import with Captivate 5 and make small changes to?
Vielen Dank,
             Ryan

Thank you. I see that I can export content as an .xml file. Isn’t this something he can upload with Captivate 5?    Thanks for bearing with my naivety. : )

Tagging an ical event with contact?

Is it possible to tag an iCal event with a contact from the Address Book? Or attach notes to the event? Or link to files??

Hi,
It is possible to link an event to an Address Book contact using the URL field. I have an Applescript application to create these URLs when you have an Address Book contact selected. See the script Link to Address Book on this page.

Lost ical events with lion upgrade...how do I find them?

Does anyone know how to get all ical events to appear in ical after a lion upgrade?

This may not help but, I've reached a point where I'll backup everything before ANY kind of upgrade or update and I'll even have two sets of Time Machine backups. I guess you'll have to restore forgetting about the upgrade and retry after refreshing the backup on a SECOND drive, don't allow yur current backup to start a new session at all, you may loose it. Maybe too late, but I just saw this now. Good Luck!

TS4337 How can I recover all my deleted iCal events?

My children were playing around on the computer, and for some reason, all my iCal events were deleted. I doubt that they purposefully went through all my events and deleted each one. I checked icloud with no luck, it's still an empty calendar. It's the same way on my phone as well.
How do I get all my events back?!

- On your syncing computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if you do have a backup, if so restore from that backup. When you sync to iTunes the first step is making a backup
- If you use PhotoStream you may be able to get them fromn yuor steam. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Note that the backup and PhotoStream only included photos in your iPod's Camera Roll (or Saved Photos) album. Photos synced to the iPod are not included.

How to change the timezone of all iCal events?

Hi!
After importing some items from another calendar most of my iCal events are "floating" and not fixed to any timzone. I would like to have them all in "Europe/Germany". Does anyone know howto set the timezone of all calendar events in one step together? Is there perhaps a solution in AppleScript?
Thanks in advance!

1)Export the calendar to an iCal File
2)Use your favorite Textedito to replace
DTSTART: by DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:
DTEND: by DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:
EXDATE: by EXDATE;TZID=Europe/Berlin:
RECURRENCE-ID: by RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=Europe/Berlin:
inside any VEVENT block. Take care not to change anything in the VTIMEZONE block at the beginning of the file.
3) Save the file and reimport it to a new iCal Calendar. Double check the imported events against their counterparts in the calendar exported.

Unable to edit "calendar" field of events with invitees

I am having a couple problems with the "calendar" drop-down field on calendar events.
This is on a 4S, iOS5, syncing calendars with iCloud.
If I create an event with an "invitee" (or add an invitee to an existing event), I can no longer change the "calendar" field of that event. In fact, the "calendar" drop-down doesn't even appear on the iPhone calendar app's "Edit" dialog for events that have an invitee. I can still change it via the web interface at www.icloud.com, and the change is even pushed to the iPhone. But on the iPhone itself, I cannot find a way to change the "calendar" field on an event that contains one or more "invitees".
Second, if I receive an "invitation" from someone else, I cannot find a way specify which of my calendars I want the event on when accepting it. I would expect it to go to the calendar I have defined as "default" in Settings, but it seems instead to go to the last calendar I created. And after accepting it, I cannot change it because the "Edit" dialog doesn't display the "calendar" field, as mentioned above. Again, I can change it via the web interface at www.icloud.com, but cannot find a way to change it directly on the iPhone.
Am I missing some way to edit/change the "calendar" field of an event with invitees? Or to select which calendar I want events to be on when I "accept" invitations from others?

I have the same problem. I recently updated to iOS5 and set up syncing through iCloud.
I was able to add one event into my iphone calendar app, but for the next event that I tried to add, there was no longer the option to choose a calendar and when I tried to add it by tapping "Done," an error message came up: "No calendar is set". and there was no way to select a calendar.
I was able to add the event on my Google Calendar on my laptop (PC), and it synced automatically, but I wasn't able to add any events from the iphone itself because "no calendar is set".
I tried turning off and on the phone and syncing back to my laptop, but the problem persisted.
I deleted the iCloud account on my iphone, and that seemed to fix the problem; I'm able to add events again from the iphone and it's syncing to my Google Calendar.
I then signed on to iCloud and setup syncing again, but turned off syncing everything except photostream, documents&data, and find my iphone since everything else would sync to outlook or internet explorer, neither of which I use.
That might have been the problem. For PC, iCloud will only sync to Outlook and Internet Explorer, and I don't have Outlook setup (can't connect to my work's email server with my account and the IT guys don't know how to fix it or they're too lazy to troubleshoot) and I only use Firefox and Chrome. Since iCloud isn't syncing to any calendars on Outlook, there aren't any calendars set...
I just did this a minute ago and everything seems to be back to normal, including the ability to choose a calendar when adding events.
I'll have to see if it the problem comes back

Share and change iCal events with co-workers

Hello,
I want to set up a iCal group with my co-designers at work, where we can all share and change any production schedules and vacations amongst each other. so everyone will know what is going on with each designers workload in a particular day or week or month.
Is it possible to set that up at our work?
Tnx
Jay

It is possible.
Create a Calendar on iCloud. Right click on it and it will open a small window were to pu the Emails of others to share the calendar with. They have to be iCloud Mails.
Sorry.. my iCal is italian but your will be similar.

How to cancel all edits and go back to "as shot" ?

hello All,
I cleared all history, but somehow I am not back to my picture "as shot".
How can I cancel everything I did, and start all over?

Clearing the history steps only removes them from the panel. It doesn't actually "undo" what you did.

Click on the "Reset" button at the bottom right of the Develop module panels.

This is very irritating.
Thanks in advance

Hi Pascal,
I wrote iCal Reply Checker to help with this issue. It only works with local calendars though.

How do I include information in an iCal event

I am brand new to iCal (and Mac) and am wondering how I attach information to an event. I want to put company con call numbers, an agenda etc. Can I attach a "note" or am I forced to attach a separate document?

Leaflover,
Welcome to Apple Discussions, and MacDom!
Each event has the capability to enter a "note."

How do i replace my macbook's iCal data with the data from my iPad?

hi,
recently i decided to try iCloud and well, i didn't quite like the duplicates~
so i've decided to opt out, but i accidentally selected "keep all data" when i turned it off~
now i'm stuck with duplicates after i've sync-ed my iphone to my macbook~
i would very much like to replace all the ical data on my macbook with my ipad (it's my only set of "original" data)~
i do know there's an option to "replace all data on my ipad with my macbook" but how about vice versa?
any suggestions?
~K

Greetings Kyrie,
iCloud does not inherently cause duplication of calendars. Once you have a good set of data following these steps you may want to consider trying iCloud again after first flushing all the bad data out of the cloud (meaning deleting all the calendars from icloud.com). But first things first:
If the iOS device is the only place where the data exists, proceed with caution.
Backup your iOS device: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Create a new admin user account on your computer: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mtusr001.html
Go to Apple > Log Out
Login to the new account
Sync the iOS device in the new user and merge all data (not replace)
Launch iCal in the new user -- If the calendar database on the iOS device is intact you should see all the calendars here in iCal.
Highlight each calendar on the left hand side one at a time and then go to File > Export > Export and save the resulting file to desktop. Repeat this process until you have exported all the calendars you want saved to the desktop.
Quit iCal
Put the .ics files you created on the desktop into Macintosh HD > Users > Shared (You can get there by going to "Go" > "Computer" at the top of the computer screen.)
Go to Apple > Log Out
Login as the main user account
Go to Macintosh HD > Users > Shared and drag the ics files to the desktop of your user account.
Open iCal and add one new empty calendar by going to File > New Calendar > On My Mac.
Delete all the other calendars that have the bad data in them.
One at a time, double-click the ics files on your desktop and choose "New Calendar" from the resulting drop down menu. (This will create a new fresh calendar in iCal and import the contents of the ics file into that calendar.)
Hope that helps!

How do I invite people to an ical event I did not create

I receive meeting invitations from my client, and I need to add my internal teams to the invitation. How do I forward them the invitation without having to create an entirely new invitation just so they are included?

This only works if your iCal is linked to a calendar server.
To do this you need to go to iCal/Prefernces/Accounts and follow the explanations.
Good luck.
