HT2513 Help! iCal is deleting some events, as well as deleting anything more than 1 month old

HELP! iCal is deleting events, seemingly at random. It is also deleting everything more than a month old.  Since I have no other record of my calendar, this is a disaster. 
This has nothing to do with icloud, as my Mac is showing the identical calendar with identically missing items.  Nor have I added or deleted any calendars.

Do this, and while it is in the open re-examine your cpu pins w/ a bight light and hd zoom or a magnifying glass.
Thanks, xmad, I'll look at th CPU again tomorrow/next day under the glass when I take the board out.  I already checked them under magnification and was leaning toward a funky board, but it never hurts to re-check.  Eyesight is not what it used to be, for sure (I miss DOS, if that's a clue...).  Don't want to flash the BIOS if not necessary, since it runs Windows fine and everything works except that RAM.
Bernhard, I don't have CPU-Z installed on that machine and don't want to install anything else until it's working normally.  I'd never seen Click-Bios before and just need to get over my initial suspicion of something new!  Also learn my way around it before I change anything.  I'd never encountered a board reporting a bios different than printed on it.  I've never messed with manual memory settings or done more overclocking than just a little exploratory and suprisingly successful nudge - if you could point me toward a  good basic explaination of all those settings, I could learn from there.
Appreciate your input very much.   
Have learned a lot just reading the threads here for the last few days.  This is the best forum I've ever encountered.  I'll report back - some suggestions in other posts resembling my problem ended with no resolution, and that's a shame because one doesn't know if it worked or not.

  • HELP!  I saved a document.  Copied the document.  Went to delete some extra characters.  Accidentally deleted the entire document.  Now I can't find my document.  When I open the saved document, the page is blank.  Does Pages save copied text anywhere?

    I saved a document.  Copied the document.  Went to delete some extra characters and accidentally deleted the text of the entire document.  I did not save a blank page.  I cannot recover the lost text.  Please Help.  I'm NEW to Pages. 

    Hi Jan,
    Copied text (or other copied material) is on the Clipboard, but only until you copy something else or log out of your account. If you act before doing another copy, you can paste the copied material back into the document. If you don't act right away, you may still have a path back.
    One of the most useful keystroke combinations on the Mac is the "Oops! key," as a friend of mine once named it. That's command-Z, also known as "Undo". In some applications it will let you undo only a single step, but in others, including Pages, you can do repeated undos, so it's not quite so essential that you act immediately on making an error. Undo, done via the Oops! key, or via the Edit menu takes you back one change at a time. You can't skip any steps, so to get back to the state before the accidental deletion, you'll have to undo any work you've done since then. The memory of what to Undo disappears when you close the document or quit the application.
    At that point you're at the mercy of your backup plan. If you've had Time Machine running, you'll be able to enter Time Machine and go back to an earlier, saved version of the file.
    All these are in addition to the steps Ian suggested above.
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: Best piece of advice I can give a new Pages user (beyond Backup early and often) is to download and read through the first few chapters of the Pages '09 User Guide, available through the Help menu in Pages '09. Mostly pretty easy reading, and will get you through the basics without much trouble.

  • Can't delete some events

    With iMovie 7.1.4 I can't delete some events : error -37
    Some of those events have no movies
    Some have movies but are not in use in projects
    I tried to delete some files via Finder with result : iMovie quit soon after starting and I was obliged to rebuilt the folder.
    Those unused events take 10 go of space. What can I do ?

    You can delete the Event folders in the Finder.

  • My calendar keeps deleting new events and if I make a change to an old event it keeps reverting it back to its original time. How do it stop this from happening?

    How do you update it? Basically what has happened my password was disabled for "security reasons" on sunday (21/10/12), so i tried to reset it, but for some reason i couldnt get into my old email (probably because i havent used it for 2 years), so i read on here i could swap it to a new email that i currently use (which is what i have done) ive swapped everythin over to it (facetime, iCloud etc) but keeps coming up with old email and asking for password

  • ICal randomly deleted some events

    I use iCal on my iPhone to keep up with everything. From what's for dinner to school programs and appointments.  I keep my calendar, my husbands calendar and my 4 children's calendar in iCal.  Since downloading iCloud,, its been syncing with my ipad and its been great! This morning, I opened iCal and watched as a few events just disappeared. So,  got my iPad thinking that the info would be there and they would sync back up.  But, again, when I opened iCal on my iPad, events began to disappear, not all, just some.  I've reentered as many events and appointments as I can remember back to my phone but, it's not syncing with my iPad.  Maybe that's a whole other discussion question.  Anyway, as I'm trying to get the reentered events to sync with my iPad, more events begin to disappear from my iPad.  This is very frustrating. What's going on??? Is this an iPad issue? And iCloud issue? An iPhone issue? Or a syncing issue?  Maybe all of the above????

    I am having the same problem.  Random events just disappear after being entered in iCal.  I sync MacBook (Snow Leopard), MobileMe, and iOS5 iPad and iPhone.  Some times they reappear, and sometimes they don't. 

  • Manual says ~If wanting to delete an event IT will also delete the source

    I have a lot of stuff [Q time] on my desktop and wanted to use Final cut to whittle all of it down to just the footage I want to use. That being my way of getting more space on disk.
    Tried and can do using just Q time BUT thought easier to import to Final cut, work upon and then export back to desk, for later use.
    Is this stupid, don't know, the point being upon trying to do so I'm told that Final cut will also delete the source material, and i have some material already in an event which I now want to clear form Final cut, reason to start afresh~ clean slate etc, etc, BUT~ don't want to lose the original material.
    Can anyone explain please~ 1] what is meant by source material and 2] how to best go about doing the above

    When you import media into an event in FCP X, it can be either copied (meaning a duplicate of your file will be created inside the event folder) or linked (which means that the event folder contains a very small "symlink" - similar to an alias - that points to your original file).
    If you later delete the event, its folder will be deleted, and so will the copy or symlink of your media file, BUT in either case FCP X will NOT touch the original media file.
    Maybe the misunderstanding came to be because FCP X stores these files or aliases inside the event, in a folder called "Original Media". Yes, that folder is destroyed, but NO, that folder does not contain the file from which you imported: it contains merely a copy of it, or a link to it.

  • TS1702 trying to upload apps but it says not enough space can we purchase more space from ICloud or something or do we need to delete some things on the IPod to make more room?

    we are trying to sync apps, music etc. to my IPod touch but it is saying there is not enough room to upload the apps etc. from our ITunes library on my PC.  Are we able to purchase more space for example on ICLOUD for more storage or do we need to delete some of the items so there is enough room for the things we really want. 
    Also, if we do need to delete some of the stuff now on IPod touch, how do I find out how much space is used up by each item so we can delete necessary items to make enough space?
    Thank you,
    Kellyfunpass

    You need to delete some items from the iPod. After you install the app you can redownload then as storage space allows, by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    To download and install an app you need storage available equal to about three times the file download size.

  • How to delete the double records connected to one or more than one tables in SQL 2008?

    Hi
    Can anyone please help me with the SQL query. I Im having a table called People with columns names: personno., lastname, firstname and so on. The personno. is having duplicate records,so all the duplicate records i have written with "double" in
    the beginning of the numbers. I tried deleting these double records but they are linked to one or more than one tables. I have to find out, all the tables blocking the deleting of double person. And then create select statements which creates update statements
    in order to replace the current id of double person with substitute id. (The personno. is in the form of id's in the database)
    Thanks

    You should not append "double" in the personno. When we append it will not be able to join or relate to other table. Keep the id as it is and use another field(STATUS) to mark as duplicate. Also we will require another field(PRIMARYID) against
    those duplicate rows i.e the main or the primary personno.
    SELECT * FROM OtherTable a INNER JOIN
    (SELECT personno, status, primaryid FROM PEOPLE WHERE status = 'Duplicate') b
    ON a.personno = b.personno
    UPDATE OtherTable SET personno = b.primaryid
    FROM OtherTable a INNER JOIN
    (SELECT personno, status, primaryid FROM PEOPLE WHERE status = 'Duplicate') b
    ON a.personno = b.personno
    NOTE: Please take backup before applying the query. This is not tested.

  • Deleting SOME events from a series of recurring events.

    I have entered a recurring event in iCal. I have attempted to delete selected ones of these events from the series. However, whenever I sync iCal to my BlackBerry device (using PocketMac for BlackBerry), they always return. How can I delete these selected events from this series so they do not return?

    Ostrowsky S,
    Click on the icon with three bullets/three lines at the bottom of the iCal window.
    That will open the "Events & To Do" pane of iCal, and then ( + Click) on the events which you would like to delete. Then use the delete key to remove the selected (non-contiguous) events.
    ;~)

  • TS1702 I am unable to update an app.  Says unable to connect to iTunes.  Able to delete and reinstall apps.  Can connect to iTunes.  Apple tells me I must pay for them to help me resolve the problem since I have had my iPad more than 90 days.  REALLY?!!

    Says can not connect to iTunes when updating app.  Can uninstall and reinstall.  Can connect directly to iTunes. Anyone out there who can help me?  Apple wants me to pay them for their support because I didn't have a problem in the first 90 days.

    Hello jaybearden,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.

  • I've tried to delete some redundant bookmarks, but the deletion doesn't take!

    I accidentally imported my bookmarks twice, now the list in the bookmarks tab of the browser is twice the length it should be...should be no problem, but I've tried to delete the extras 2 or 3 times now. They just won't delete! I've tried restarting the browser each time, and they're still there.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
