I just upgraded to OS Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and lost all of my appointments on iCal.

The whole calendar is blank--no appointments anywhere.  I have my system backed up via Time Machine and my calendar on my iPhone is fine.  How do I get it back to my desktop.  Does iCloud matter?

Do you have any backups from before the upgrade? If so, you can restore your calendars from backup. If you use Time Machine for backups, quit Calendar and then choose Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter:
~/Library/Calendars
When the window opens, open the Time Machine app or choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine menu, go back in time and restore everything in that folder.
If not, without knowing exactly what happened, there's not much we can tell you. I'd advise you to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.

  • I have just upgraded to os x lion 10.7.4 and I seem to have lost approx 4000 photos from iPhoto.  Is there a way to recover these photos?

    The Lion upgrade does not touch iPhoto. However, you may need to purchase an iPhoto upgrade.
    Look in your /Home/Pictures/ folder for the iPhoto Library file.

  • Hello- I recently upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my iMac and cannot download the most current version of Adobe Flash Player.  Please help!

    Hello- I recently upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my iMac and cannot download the most current version of Adobe Flash Player.  I even uninstalled the old Flash version but this did not resolve the issue.  Could somebody please assist?  Thank you. 

    Hello- I was able to resolve the issue after clicking on the top right hand corner that shows the recent downloads (it has that down arrow).  I realized that I had tried downloading the Adobe Flash Player Install Manager about 7 times, but still needed to click on the file and install!  So I erased all the duplicates and installed one of the Flash Player Install Managers and it finally worked!  Yay!

  • HT6065 I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks OS X, and lost all of my "on my mac" mail boxes.  How do I restore them?

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks OS X, and lost all of my "on my mac" mail boxes.  How do I restore them?

    The answer was more complicated.  I had to have an Apple Care tech help me onscreen.  Had to go to Time Machine to restore (which I had tried, but couldn't find the right files to import.  The Mail icon was barred).  They helped me find them.  It was very complicated, with many steps involved.  I never could have figured it out on my own.  Even the tech was not sure how, or if it would work. And it took about 1/2 hour for the stuff to download. But, the problem was solved eventually
    .  Thanks again for your help!

  • Upgrade to LR 3.3 from 3.2 and lost all export presets.

    Any chance I will be able to recover my  (many) expert presets? They are all gone since upgrading to 3.3, and I really hate the idea of starting again from scratch.

    I've looked at preference settings. Checkbox is NOT selected to store presets with catalog. I also looked at file location, and the user experts folder is empty.  I have no idea where they went. I need to look, but unfortunately, I do not think I have a good back up of these settings.Lesson learned there. I will continue to look for the files using searches, etc. but it appears they are gone. This really stinks. Several of them took a good deal of time to get "just right".
    Thanks,

  • Just updated to the new software version... and lost all my music.  Anyway to get it back?

    So I went to update, had to clear room on my computer (it told me it needed about 28gig to compete update), it went through the whole update sucessfully, but none of my music, contacts, notes, etc. were put back except for apps.  What happened?  Any solutions?

    - Try restoring the iPod from backup. That should get the app data, contacts and most other stuff back.  Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if the date of the bckup would contain those items. It should be when you started the update process. Make sure that you have auto-syncing on connection (iTunes>Preferences>Devices turned off otherwise you will modify the exisiting backu to reflect the missing stuff.
    - Is the the music in your iTunes library? If not it would not be on the iPod at the end of the update since it is not part of the backup but is synced for the iTunes library at the end of the update.

  • HT5225 I just upgraded to OS X Lion, and now I can't open my Quicken!!!

    I just upgraded to OS X Lion 10.7.3 and now it's telling me I can't open the application Quicken anymore, because PowerPC aplications are no longer supported!  I sincerely hope someone knows how to resolve this.  I'm in big trouble!  I get the same message when I try to open Excel, Word, and a game called Mah Jong.  Thank you!

    The Quicken issue has been a hot topic in the Quicken forum as well as many others.  Intuit did not provided an updated Quicken when Lion came out.  I believe that within the past month Intuit has announced a version that does work in Lion, I looked into it, but was not impressed; there were some technical issues that prevent me from using it (don't recall the details though).  Fortunately, I found out about the Quicken mess when Lion came out, and like many users, migrated the quicken data files over to a common format that could be imported into a number of new financial apps like iBank.  Intuit lost a lot of Mac users over this.
    As for Excel and Word, you have to buy Microsoft's newest version of Office on Mac to be compatible.

  • Upgrading to osx mountain lion

    I have macbook pro with mac osx 10.6.8. I want to upgrade osx to mountain lion. My time machine is not on, do i need to back up my files in a external disk?

    You certainly do need a backup. You'll save yourself a lot of time and grief by following these tips:
    1. Check the tech specs
    Check out the tech specs for Mountain Lion to make sure you can run it on your current system. If you are upgrading from Snow Leopard, you should also check out will my old apps work with Lion?.
    2. Run Software Update
    Make sure you have the latest version of everything by running
     > Software Update
    before you upgrade. This will help to cut down any compatibility problems when installing Mountain Lion.
    3. Backup your current install
    Without a doubt the biggest cause of trouble and frustration with every OS release is among users who didn’t backup their systems before trying to install the new one. Like Lion, Mountain Lion will be delivered as a download from the App Store, and while this method is certainly convenient, corrupted downloads are not uncommon. Moreover, even when the install proceeds as expected, you want to be able to get back to your previous system if you find things are not to your liking. An OS installation is like performing major surgery on your computer and the chances of complications are always a significant risk. As the old boy scout saying goes ‘Be Prepared’. Backup, backup, backup.
    4. Remove everything from your Login Items.
    For Lion users, that’s
     > System Preferences…> Users & Groups | Login Items
    If you’re upgrading from Snow Leopard 10.6.8, go to
     > System Preferences…> Accounts | Login Items
    There’s a couple of reasons for doing this, but mainly it’s to ensure that you can log in without difficulty. Login Items are one of the main causes of OS problems at the best of times, but with a major upgrade like this, you don’t want any incompatible software choking the system from booting up. See Step 8 below about re-activating your Login Items after the installation.
    5. Be prepared for slow download times
    Apple’s servers will be hotter than a forest fire on release day, so you can expect download times to be pretty poor. At the very least, connect your computer to your router via ethernet cable rather than wifi – that’ll at least help push things along a bit faster at your end. If you can do it from the office or somewhere else that has a lot more bandwidth than the usual home connection, do so.
    6. Save the installer
    After the download completes the installer will run automatically. Do NOT click ‘Install’, but instead quit it. Then go to your Applications folder and copy the ‘Install OS X Mountain Lion .app’ and save it to your Downloads folder or somewhere else. Then you can run the installer in your Applications folder.
    The reason for doing this is that when you install Mountain Lion the Install app in your Applications folder will self-delete. If the install shouldn’t work for some reason the first time round, you won’t have to go through the whole tiresome wait of a download from the App store again if you save a copy to your Downloads folder.
    7. Update 3rd-party apps
    Assuming Mountain Lion boots up just fine, the first thing you’re going to want to do (after having a nose around, of course!) is update your 3rd party apps. Start off by opening the App store to see if any that you’ve sourced from there have updates waiting for you. After that, start up all the main apps that you normally use and use their ‘Check for Updates’ option (usually in the Apps main menu), or contact the developers through their websites.
    8. Test your Login Items apps
    In particular, you’re going to want to test out the apps that you want to put back in your Login Items, before you put them back in there. Run each app and play around with the system for a couple of hours before deciding to put it back in your Login Items list. If you notice any weird behaviour with Finder, the Dock or Desktop backgrounds, problems with wifi or graphics, chances are one or more of your 3rd party apps needs updating to work with Mountain Lion. If there is no update yet, stop using that app till one becomes available or find an alternative. In general, it’s always best to keep Login Items down to a bare minimum. Running apps at login is a sure fire way to slow down boot up times.

    You should not; however, I would not upgrade without having a full backup - just in case.
