How to import iphoto events from remote library into local library

I know how to access my MBA's iphoto library from my imac, however I don't know how to import any event/photo into my local imac's library. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Once that opens by default with iphoto, then... went to Finder again, Pictures, right click on iphoto library (local Imac library) and select "open with" = Aperture.
There I had my MBA's library opened on iphoto and my local Imac library opened on Aperture. I simply dragged the events from iphoto to Aperture. Worked like a charm..
PS: It is obvious to say that for this to work, both Imac and MBA have to be Shared in the same network
That works, but there is a better way with Aperture. The problem. If you drag the photos from Aperture to iPhoto, you only transfer the previews and you lose quality, because you do not transfer the high quality originals.
Aperture can do more for you:
Select the event (in Aperture "Projects") you want to transfer in the library Inspector and then use "File > Export > Project as new Library". This will create a new photo library with only the elected items.
Then open your destination iPhoto library in Aperture and select the command "File > Import > Library" and select the partial library with your events. Aperture will now merge this library into your iPhoto library.
This way, you will transfer the originals and all editing, keywords, etc, and effectively merge your iPhoto libraries preserving all your work.

How to forward iCal events

Does anyone know how to forward iCal events to new attendees?

Hi jwinter0425,
Here's how you mail an existing event:
1. Right-click on the event in iCal
2. Click "Mail Event"
If you're sending this to an Microsoft Outlook/Exchange user, they won't be able to open it. I've developed an iCal plug-in that resolves iCal-to-Outlook compatibility issues. It's worth checking it out. http://www.zamain.com.

Re-importing iCal into a calendar in iPhoto '11

so i figure out how to import my iCal into my project. then finished all the photo arranging. THEN got some new special dates that i inserted into iCal.
now i can't seem to re-import iCal to my finished project so everything is up to date.
i can find threads that say how to do it in older versions, there's a "re-import" option. but i can't find that in iPhoto '11.
please, please help, calendar must go to print before Jan ends!!

It appears that once you've selected a calendar and imported it you can make changes in iCal and have them updated in the iPhoto calendar. At least no way I've found. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
So you'll have to add those new dates manually.

Importing iCal events and Address book from Time Machine

How does one import only iCal events and Address book items from a backedup version of Lion using Time Machine for a backup residing on an external HDD?

See my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/entouragemigration.html
Note, you will have to launch Entourage to get the data out into a format that Mail and Addressbook and iCal can then import.

How I can delete event from calendar (iOS7)??

How I can delete an event from calendar (iOS7)?? I can't find any icons, any gesture for that!!!

I've never used the calendar app until I read this, so I created a test event and then spent about 15 minutes trying to figure out how to delete it, but I finally figured it out! Here's how to do it:
1) Tap the event to bring up the info panel about it.
2) Tap "Edit".
3) A long panel will appear, letting you set all sorts of info about the event, but there doesn't appear to be any way to delete it, but...
4) Pull up on that long panel, and way down at the bottom is a red "Delete Event" button. Tap it and confirm the deletion in the message box that appears, and the event it gone!

How to read iCal events from SQLite Cache file?

I need to figure out how to read event entries in the Cache file stored in /Library/Calenders/ as my actual events have been corrupted due to a file system problem. The example below shows the information I have for each entry, where the event in the entry was Bon Jovi Concert, however I am confused how I can read the date and time of the event, information I believe is stored as 218215639,219613081,219524400,219540600. Any help is greatly appreciated.
INSERT INTO "ZCALENDARITEM" VALUES(0,NULL,0,NULL,0,5,NULL,6,4039,NULL,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,23,0,0,0,0,6,0,21821563 9,219613081,219524400,219540600,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,'local_AFB8D342-2DAE-4F A1-A9A6-3FA9B28B5C7C','Bon Jovi Concert',NULL,NULL,NULL,'Europe/London',NULL,'0E17BBB6-0E76-4024-8DD7-60E43D38D 35B');

OK, here we go ... I hope. I have tried it on my iCal, with about 2000 entries, and it worked. I cannot guarantee that it will work for you.
Make a new text file from sql as before, but using this modified command to get additional data for each event:
sqlite3 Desktop/Hope 'select ZSTARTDATE, ZCALENDARITEM.ZTITLE, ZENDDATE, ZNODE.ZTITLE, ZISALLDAY, ZRECURRENCERULE, ZISDETACHED from ZCALENDARITEM inner join ZNODE on ZCALENDARITEM.ZCALENDAR = ZNODE.Z_PK where ZSTARTDATE not null' >hope.txt
I suggest you make a new user account, then copy the text file hope.txt and the script to the Public/Drop Box folder for that account. Log on to the new account and copy the two files from the drop box to the Desktop. Start iCal and make new calendars to match those in your ordinary account. Double click the script to open it in Script Editor and CHANGE THE DATE RANGE in the "set ThePeriod" line. Stand well back and click the run button. Every 50 records processed it will pop up a progress box, which will pop down again after a second. Go for lunch.
When it is finished see if things look OK in iCal. If they do export each of the calendars, copy them to the drop box of your normal account and return to your normal account to import them.
If there is an error make a note of the error message and line number, find that line in the text file, and post it here with a couple of lines either side.
Note that for recurring items iCal normally only makes a single event, the first occurrence, then uses a recurrence rule to calculate if the event should be displayed in the current window. If there are any recurring events in the period you have selected where the first occurrence is before the period they will not be recreated. Where however you have changed a single occurrence of a recurring event iCal makes a new, detached, event. Any of these in the period will be detected. If their original event was also in the period they will now appear in the iCal display as duplicates. For easy spotting of these, I have prefixed "XX-" to the title of any detached events.

How to get all events from calendar using calcalendar store framework.

Hello,
I have two problems with calcalendar store framework programming.
1. I need all the event which are present in iCal calendar.Event may be present in year 2025 or 2050. and if the event is recurring then i need only one event.
2. if the event is recurring then i need only one event within the calendar event predicates (start date and end date). I am not suppose to give the occurrence date for event.
How can I implement this with CalCalendar store framework.
Thanks And Regards,
xmax.

Hi,
Per my knowledge, there is not a method to get all the recurring events using CAML query in one request.
Here is a thread with the similar question for your reference:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/eed6be6d-c9ff-4d01-80de-8a4b67d3d7a5/use-caml-to-get-all-recurring-events-from-a-calendar
We can get all the calendar list events at first, then filter all the recurring event from the result set.

How to delete orphaned events in Calendar?

OK, so I'm pulling my hair out on this one: I discovered today that my wife's birthday anniversary event got duplicated 3369 times in my iPad calendar...
I'm grateful for the reminder, but 3369 times is a bit too much.
Ruling out my wife's unlikely hacking of my calendar, the culprit is probably an automatic sync with my Google calendar gone awry. Lesson learned, don't sync with Google calendar, fine, but these events cause the loading of the calendar to be super slow and I don't want to imagine what's going to happen in 10 days when the reminders for these events are going to be shown...
So how to I remove these events from my Calendar?
Going through them one by one is not an option, and anyhow, I have tried to delete one, it won't go away.
Delete the calendar they belong to? Great idea, except they don't belong to any calendar, despite what Calendar tells me in the detail of one event. Which is probably the reason why I can't delete them manually in the first place. I have verified this by writing a small app that finds those event in the calendar: the calendar property of the EKEvent is nil.
I have tried to delete them in my app ([store removeEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent commit:YES error:&error]), I get this error:
Failed to remove: Error Domain=EKErrorDomain Code=1 "No calendar has been set."
(Note that I did call [store requestAccessToEntityType: completion:] to authorize my app to modify the calendar).
I figured it had something to do with the event not being in a calendar, so I have tried to assign them to a calendar in my app, it doesn't work, they remain orphaned.
I have disabled sync with Google and iCloud.
I have tried to delete my iCloud account on the iPad: I get an endless spinning wheel that forces me to kill the Calendar app.
The only thing I haven't tried yet is restoring my device, but then, what if the backup contains those events?
An idea? Anybody?
Thanks

How to List iCal Events

Is there a way to view a list of all events in iCal? I can list events on my iPhone 4S using IOS6, but don't know how to do this on my iMac running Lion. Thank you. Bob.

After a few days of aggravation, the issue mysteriously resolved itself. Gremlins?

How to send an event or calendar to a non MAC user.

In Outlook you could attach a calendar or event to an email so the business associate would review and confirm the dates discussed. Is there a way to do this with iCal without being a member of MobilMe, or posting it to a server, or on a webpage?
Thanks

Two words: Google Calendar.
It's a just as good application, juts online. You can send events to all your associates free, they don't need a Mac.

How to import one Event from iPhoto?

I discovered an Event that did not import. In Aperture Import, there is an option to show the iPhoto Browser, that allows you to select an Event or individual photos. But then what? How do you initiate the import? There seems to be no button or anything to activate the import.

Select an Event or Photo and drag it to the target Project in the Aperture window.

How to set repeating events in Calendar

The former "repeat" option in the create/edit events window seems to be missing in Maveicks. Anyone here discovered where it's moved to, how to do it?

Hmmm closed Claendar, reopened it and the Repeat option was back.
FWIW, the repeat option also disappeared in Fantastical but returned after restarting the Calendar app

How to set repeating event in calendar

I'm using maverick that doesn't exist in the choices. macbook pro retina. Calendar has not setting for repeating appointments. The instructions in help are completely wrong.

Hi,
It may help if you describe what you see when you edit an event, or better post a screenshot of the window.
The instructions I see in Calendar's help are:
1. Double-click the event, then click the event’s date.
2. Choose how often you want the event to occur from the Repeat menu.
Every day:
It occurs every day, at the same time.
Every week:
It occurs at the same time, on the same day, every week.
Every month:
It occurs at the same time, on the same day, every month.
Every year:
It occurs at the same time, on the same day, every year.
Custom:
It occurs at the same time, on custom days. For example, you can set the event to occur on the first Wednesday of every month.
3. Choose when to stop the event from the End menu.
Best wishes
