HT2513 iCal event problem

Someone sent me a calendar event and it is wrong, how do I correct it?  I can't delete it or change it - HELP!!

I can't find a calendar.cache file on my Tiger machine at home. Maybe it's different in Leopard. The cache for iCal in Tiger will be in the same place as Leopard: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.ical (it's a directory). The ~ indicates your home folder, the path starts there with your own Library folder, in case you weren't sure. Try moving the cache directory or appending the name to !com.apple.ical (I use the exclamation mark but anything will do), rather than deleting it first. Then, if you need it, just move/change it back. As for the main problem, I'm not so sure, but try this (it's Tiger/Leopard but might be applicable) http://www.zeldman.com/2008/01/11/usability-problems-with-mac-sync/. If you get your calendars back, do a backup - File/Back up Database...

  • HT2513 iCal event timeframe limited

    Why can't I schedule an event that lasts longer than 3.5 hours? I'm trying to put a timeframe of 8:00am to 4:30pm and it won't let me go past 11:30am.

    I have the exact same issue. Is there any other threads that have the solution?

  • Problem Adding iCal Events Received via Email (used to work fine)

    My wife and I share iCal calendar events between our Mac's via email. A month or so ago I started getting this error when clicking on the link that comes with the iCal event email:
    "This calendar file is empty. No new events have been added to your iCal calendars."
    We are both on Intel Powermacs running OS 10.4.11 and have the same version of iCal (2.0.5). I can still email her iCal events and she can add them to her calendar just fine. But anything she sends me gives me this error.
    Help?

    Travis,
    I had the exact same problem (with my wife's iCal account to boot ). The solution lies in the "(null) informs you..." It turns out that iCal looks at your personal address card to figure out who you are when populating the email. So, if don't have the email address you are sending FROM listed under your address book entry, then the notice is from NULL.
    I added my wife's email accounts to her address book entry on her machine (sorry for the bolds, but the details count.) Then I tried sending a calendar event from her iCal to me. This time it populated with her name and it added to my calendar just fine when I received the email.
    I hope this solution works for you (it drove me crazy for about two weeks.)

  • Problem with iCal events after waking from sleep mode

    I have a daily iCal reminder that starts playing a playlist in iTunes at 6:00 am. However, if I leave the computer in sleep mode at night, and then manually wake the computer (BEFORE 6:00 am), the iCal event won't play on time...it's delayed 20-30 minutes. Any ideas why?

    Have you tried it with a different mouse? I'm no expert, but you might want to find out, if the problem is mouse-specific.

  • Problem creating iCal Events from Mail in Leopard

    The new function that allows the user to create iCal events from Mail messages is quite impressive and very useful. Unfortunately the data detectors seem to have trouble with certain commonplace date formats. While the detector recognises the date, it cannot activate an event in iCal. For instance the data detector will pick up the dates in these formats and create iCal events:
    30 October 2007
    30 Oct 07
    30/10/07
    but not in this format:
    30-Oct-07
    In the latter case, the data detector recognises it is a date, produces the drop menu, but will not carry through and create an event to iCal. It's annoying in that many companies use the latter format in their communications. Any workaround?

    There is another problem I have found.
    I have my computer set in international settings formats to show the date in the "English format"
    January 4th 2007 is 4/1, however an entry in mail 4/1 is put into iCal on the first of April!
    I found this out after looking for a meeting I knew I had put in for next week.
    beware, can this bug be fixed?

    Greetings,
    Go to Apple > Software Update and install all available updates until no more are offered.
    On iPad go to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates.

  • HT2513 invite people to ical event on iphone

    I used to have access to "invite" others to an ical event, how do i resource that function from my iphone?

    Andre,
    Can you send yourself an invitation?
    Check settings for Calendar>Preferences...>Advanced>"Automatically retrieve CalDAV invitations from Mail."

  • ICal events do not show up on Entourage

    Hello to all and here's tehbackground:
    1. I have a new MacBook Air
    2. I have new updated software (the latest updates)
    3. I have Office 2008 with Entourage (which I want to use as my mail client and calendar app - though am happy to leave iCal on my system as well ... but would likely not use it per se if Entourage worked as I do not like to flip between apps - i.e. Entourage gives me both mail and calendar functions and I was used to that with Outlook on my old PC)
    4. I have a new Mobile Me account
    5. This account seems to sync my calendar between MM and iCal no problem
    6. I enabled sync in Entourage but its calendar seems empty?
    Should I have imported first or somethng? Why is Entourage not synching?
    And another technical question: Does Entourage and iCal sync between themselves directly on the Hard Drive or do they BOTH go up the mobile Me?
    Thanks in advance,
    JM

    OK well that's bizarre.
    I also noted that in Entourage, under Preferences there is a sync option. In that I selected all three as follows:
    1. Synchronize with Address Book and .mac
    2. Synchronize events and tasks with iCal and .mac
    and
    3. Synchronize Entourage Notes with .mac
    Now I assume for some odd reason that despite having the most recent updates, Entourage still refers to .mac as opposed to MobileMe. That's fine I guess. But why just Entourage Notes? Why note the calendar app in Entourage?
    Arghh !!! ...
    Anyone else have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

  • 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.

  • ICal events duplicated, missing in iPhoto calendar

    It's that time of year again, when I make my annual calendar. Only this year it isn't going smoothly.
    When I go to the calendar settings and choose which iCal events I want, I'm getting all sorts of strange behavior.
    Items from two calendars for the same day won't both appear on the calendar. I want to add a July 4 birthday, but I can get either Independence Day or the birthday, not both.
    As I added calendars, sometimes events already listed became duplicated or triplicated (not with US Holidays, but other calendars).
    Is anyone else having this problem and more importantly, does any one have a solution.
    Calendar ordering time is fast upon us. One of the things that makes an iPhoto calendar worth the extra bucks is that it has all the dates I want on it. Help!

  • Help....duplications of ical events on iPhone and only syncing from mac to iPhone?

    Hi,
    Has anyone got any suggestions for fixing this problem.....
    My iPhone syncs with my Mac perfectly via iTunes apart from iCal, which is giving me real grief! iCal on my mac is in perfect order and syncs events to my phone but my phone has duplicate and triplicate events and even events in different states of being edited. The iphone doesnt sync events made in it back to the mac either.
    It syncs contacts etc. fine, just not iCal events.
    Is there an easy way of fixing this or even totally reseting iCal on the Mac and iPhone so it clears this up? (obviously, I need to keep my calendar events though)
    I've tried replacing the info on the phone, reseting the phone, changing to iCloud syncing and back again and I even upgraded to the iPhone 5 (which I was going to do anyway )
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8, iCal 4.0.4, iTunes 11.0.2 and I was on an iPhone 4 and now iPhone 5. It's been happening for two months now and it's getting really frustrating!
    Thanks for any help in advance

    This fixed my problem - finally!!

  • Some iCal events disappear when in week view

    Hello all,
    I recently had a double agenda booking. Today I found out why:
    In week view some iCal events disappear... When i switch to month view, they reappear.
    So, depending on the view i have open time slots. Not very reliable.
    Anyone know what i can do to return to solid bookings again?
    Best regards
    Fred

    Same problem here. I just imported everything from my old MacBook to my new one using Time Machine. My events appear in the Month view but not in the Week or Day views. So I went back to my old MacBook, created an iCal backup file, and emailed it to myself. Opened it on the new machine, restored from the backup file, and . . . same thing!
    Very strange!! I need my daily events to be visible. Any help out there?

  • I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone.

    I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone. It does not have the edit button at the top of the screen.
    The event does not show up in iCal on my Mac or on my iCloud.
    One of these is a reoccuring event.

    The only other thing I can think of is to try deleting the entire calendar from your iPhone and then sync your iCal calendar to your phone again.  This needs to be done carefully.  I would begin by backing up your iCal calendar on your mac for safekeeping by opening iCal, then going to File>Export>Export, save this on your desktop.  Then do the following:
    On your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turn Calendars to Off.  You should get a prompt asking you whether to keep or remove the calendar data from your phone.  Choose to remove it.
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to iTunes>Preferences, go to the Devices tab check "Prevent...from automatically syncing".
    Now connect your phone and, as before, go to the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings.  Confirm that you have checked to Sync Calendars with iCal, then further down under Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone check Calendars, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.
    This should transfer your iCal calendar to your iPhone, hopefully this time without the problem event.  Check your phone to confirm that this was successful, then you can then go back to iTunes Preferences and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • Notes in iCal events disappear

    I've had trouble with notes within iCal events, as well as the parameters for repeating events and catagories, disappearing for no apparent reason from my Mac, iPad or iPhone (the phone seems to be the most frequent culprit).  They all sync with each other, and regardless of which device I use to enter the event note, random ones will just vanish.  Has anyone else encountered this?  I use these event notes for accounting purposes, as I book clients with iCal.  It's rather inconvenient when they're suddenly not there anymore.  Thanks!

    I sync iCal between multiple iMacs, a MacBook, an iPhone, and an iPad and I have the same problem.  Any thoughts/feedback would be greatly appreciated!
