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 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.

How to restore ical events

i ve deleted caches and all my events gone.how can i get them back to ical?

I'm having the same problem with any program. Time Machine simply defaults, every time, to the Desktop Folder. This is fine, but only really useful for individual files and/or folders. Where's the integrated Restore for Apple programs?

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 reduce iCal event time span?

How do I set default time span of an event to 1 hour in iCal? I'm using Version 5.0.2 (1571) and the current default is set to something like 6 or 8 hours and it's driving me nuts! A related aggravation is that an event can unintentionally end up spanning 2 days! It used to work just fine in previous versions -- why did they "fix" this and how do I make the current version be truly useful like the old version?

Hi,
I guess you are adding events in Month view. From iCal's help file about entering events in Month view.
Add a new event in Month view by double-clicking within the day you want the event to appear. Enter a name and time duration for the event in the event’s title field, and then press Return.
iCal moves the event to the correct time and sets it to the correct duration. For example, you can double-click within a day in Month view, enter “Movie 7-9pm,” and then press Return.
If you don’t enter a time duration, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour.
If you don’t enter any time information, iCal makes the event an all-day event.
Add a start time in the event title to make a timed 1 hour event. The time part of the title is stripped out.
Best wishes
John M

How to keep iCal events older than 90 days?

We use one of our iCal calendars for business, and we need to refer back to client appointments that occurred several months in the past. However, despite unchecking all the "Delete events" options in Prefs, any appointment older than 90+ days is gone. This is extremely annoying for all concerned. Is there a fix, or do we have to use something like Google calendar and link to it? I'm looking for a simple solution for everyone in the office.

I am having the same issue in a slightly different way.
Have a main calendar server I connect to at work and iCal syncs via CalDAV.
Nothing over about 90 days is getting pulled down even after deleting the calendar.
I am not the only one at work with a Mac that faces this issue.

How to create iCal events from other applications?

I want to create event linked with a certain document, e.g. when I've finishes a letter in Pages or in TeXShop, I want to create an event in iCal for reminder. I know, that I can in iCal create events and add the link to the file into the URL field of an event. But I want in Pages, TeXShop, Numbers, … to click: »Create reminder in iCal on <date>.«
Is there a way for it?

You can use Firewire Target Disk mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661 to transfer the appropriate iCal files.

How to sync iCal events back to iPad from Macbook?

My iPhone events have all successfully imported to Macbook, but they won't sync back to iPadmini. I've tried to push them through iCloud and also manually but no success.
The sync works vice-versa - i.e. iPad events will sync to Mac.
Using Maverick

Please try the following...
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

How to duplicate iCal events on iPhone?

Is it possible to duplicate/copy an eventy in iCal on your iPhone and then paste it to another date? This is easy in iCal on my Mac, but I can not seem to find a way to do it on my new iPhone. Thanks.

Not sure, but you might want to check your calendar on your iPhone under Clendars button (top left), then see if you have a check mark next to more that one calendar named "Calendar". If so, try unchecking the one under On My iPhone and see if that removes the duplicates.

My Ical events disappeared how do I restore with time machine/mountain lion?

I recently installed mountain lion. Today my ICal events disappeared and I can't restore them with time machine. What happened? How do I fix it?

Did you try rebuilding the library's database file as follows: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How can I see "Events" in a LIST - NOT in icons?

Could someone please tell me (step by step, inch by inch) EXACTLY how I can see all of the "Events" in Iphoto '11 as a LIST...with no icons, no "Key Photos," no scrolling through 600 different pictures to try to find the EXACT event I want by DATE that I want on the event - NOT the date that the photo was taken...A LIST:
2011-12 Go to Store (BLACK LINE WITH NOTHING ELSE IN IT)
2010-08 In Thailand (BLACK LINE WITH NOTHING ELSE IN IT)
2005-05 In Mexico (BLACK LINE WITH NOTHING ELSE IN IT)
1983-01 Buy First Computer (BLACK LINE WITH NOTHINGELSE IN IT)
600 MORE OF THESE LINES, BY DATE, AND MY DESCRIPTION, WITH NOTHING ELSE. PERIOD.
I USED to be able to do this in IPhoto, but since upgrading, it seems to be impossible. It is EXTREMELY difficult to find the photos I want when dealing with Icons no matter WHAT their size.
Along with "faces" - which I neither need, nor want, nor seem to be able to get rid of, this is the most irritating aspect of Iphoto. But of course, it's possible that, having spent a week reading the entire manual page by page, and searching every known corner of the Internet - I simply am not smart enough to find the correct answer to this question. OKAY. I can admit my limtiations.
Thanks!

Like the original poster, I'd like to view events as a simple list. A solution is given in this thread but it does not completely provide what I would like.
I would additionally like to have the option to sort the collapsed list of events. Specifically, I would like options to choose sort alphabetically or by date, ascending or descending. The collapsed events list in the photos view seems to be hardwired to display events chronologically.
I am aware that in events view, event tiles can be sorted in the way that I want. However, it is the simple, collapsed list of events that I would like to sort.
Are there any 3rd party iPhoto companion apps that can read my iPhoto library and give me a more controllable view of my events list?

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
