I lost all calendar events with mountain lion -- help!

I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and all looked fine until I opened Calendar -- no events!

Jim,
I presume all of the calendars have a ✓ mark in the appropriate box?
Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that Library folder, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart.
Then go to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Use the same method as listed above to get to the correct Library Folder. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal for functionality.

I lost all calendar events and contacts during iTunes backup

i lost all calendar events and contacts during iTunes backup
I think my wife had an old apple ID on the phone and never backs up her device. She lost all contacts and calendar events. any help?

It would default to whatever account you have set for default. If you were using Exchange, it would sync to that. However, the settings for syncing are set up in iTunes. You would need to check to see what settings were in iTunes for syncing the information. It could be a supported application on the computer, or a cloud service as I said earlier.
On my personal phone, it will default to my iPhone calendar which I sync with Outlook on my computer. I can select the Exchange account if I want, but my default is what I sync with Outlook.

Lost microsoft office tools with mountain lion install

I installed Mountain Lion and now my Microsoft Office Tools are gone?

I'm using Entourage just fine, which is good because Apple Mail is almost as bad as Outlook. However, with Entourage, I had to delete all the preferences files and rebuild the database, as it was very pokey after the upgrade.
I'm using Office 2011 apps, and those are fine. Sorry, but I abandoned the rest of the 2008 suite a while back.... but I just tested Word 2008 and it worked OK... although still much slower launching than 2011, which is almost instantaneous.
Make sure you have a full backup, such as with SuperDuper, on a bootable firewire drive before you attempt it. Better safe than sorry.

Just lost all calendar events

Got out of plam Desktop 6.2.2 and then back in, all Calendar items are gone. Contacts are ok. Where is this data stored?
Any sugestions? Thanks, Brad

You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. Using 6.2 the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak. For 6.2, the files are located in the username folder in PalmOSdesktop in my documents.
The files for previous versions are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. With Palm Desktop closed, you can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.

Here is another link regarding data loss;

The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.

Lost all calendar events since 2012 and most before then!

I updated my wife's iPhone to her own iTunes/Apple ID - now any calendar events since 2012 have been deleted and even some of those left i.e. from 2012 and before have been deleted as well.
Whenever I was offered the option to delete/merge/keep items they were kept and not deleted.
I have looked everywhere I can think off, including using iPhone recovery software - and there isn't any sign of deleted calendar events! If they had been deleted as I changed the Apple ID - I would have thought they would all have been deleted! As you can appreciate it, I am now firmly in the dog house! - where have they gone and can I recover them?

Thanks - initially the calendar seemed to be totally empty. I then did as you suggest and discovered the events prior to 2013. It is almost as if there was an incomplete synch and then it synched again and took the incomplete version as the correct version - loosing all 2013 events and some of the events prior to 2013!

Vlc does not work with mountain lion - help

running a 2009 macbook pro and upgraded to mountain lion. now VLC player will not load without X11 upgrade?!? don't know what this is or what it will do to my mac. My friend's 2011 Macbook Pro upgraded to mountain lion without a hitch but i'm running into problems all the time.
Help! Advice needed!

You do not need XQuartz to run the 64-bit Intel version of VLC 2.03 on Mountain Lion. Running it here right now and no XQuartz installed. I have never needed X11 to run VLC on OS X since 10.6.
However, you may need a 32/64-bit binary of VLC for that 2009 vintage cpu.
Remove your present copy of VLC and then fetch another copy here.
Did this help?

Lost all Calendar events =(

Hi everybody,
I was adding an event to my Calendar app when it "crashed" and went to my home screen. I opened the app again and all of my events were gone like it was set to factory defaults. I had a ton of stuff in there. My questions are:
1) Do you know why it did this?
2) Is there any way to recover my events?
3) How do I keep it from happening in the future?
My iPhone is version 2.2. I sync it with iTunes, but I don't have it set up to sync with a program like Outlook. I haven't had any other problems with this iPhone except for today. The only thing I did different was charge it using a 3rd party Belkin USB cord last night. Could that have caused it?
Thanks for the help!

one thing that might help.
Try to restore the iphone from back up.

Keynote 5.2 won't open with Mountain Lion

I've been using all of iWork with Mountain Lion since July 9 when the Developer GM Seed was released, and it worked fine. Now that the public has Mountain Lion, iWork was updated and I get the message "Check with the Developer to make sure Keynote works with this version of OS X."
I know for a fact this must be an error, but since I've had iWork '09 since its release on CD I haven't bought it on the Mac App Store and therefore cannot use that for this problem. (Although the App Store updated Keynote and the rest of iWork)

It's not quite the same thing but in case other people's searches lead them here too, I was having trouble getting Keynote (updated) and TextEdit to open. They would just hang without even getting to the initial screen. I fixed the problem by turning off iCloud for documents
Go to System Preferences > iCloud > uncheck "Documents & Data" from the sync list.
(Actuall I uninstalled Keynote, did the above, restarted and then reinstalled but I think I only needed ot do the above).
Anyway, both Keynote and TextEdit open fine now. Shame I can't use iCloud with them but I'll cope...
Hope that helps someone.

Will MacBook Pro shipped with Mountain Lion if I purchase it today?

I called their support line and according to the guy that I spoke to that it will not ship with Mountain Lion since there will be still some "Old" MacBook Pro lying around in Apple so they would wanna clear those off first. According to the support guy that it will take at least 1-2 months before Apple start shipping all MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and it might take longer if you purchase it through Online Apple Store. I can still upgrade to Mountain Lion myself through Mac Store definately but I purposely waited till the launching date hoping that it will automatically ship with Mountain Lion ready and now I'm hearing this news. Can anyone verify and confirm this is true? I thought Apple made some of their employee stay overnight to upgrade all their Macs before launching? And Apple just gonna leave their "Old" Macs running the old OS lying there until it's sold out before shipping with Mountain Lion?

If you buy a Mac today, it may have come from the factory a month ago so it will not have Mountain Lion installed. Still, ML is a free upgrade to anyone who purchases a new Mac after June 11th. Unless you don't have an Internet connection, I don't see any reason not to go ahead a get a Mac today.
Note that if you go into an Apple Store today, they might just do the update for you in the store - I've heard of it happening...

On the computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if a backup is listed. If no backup then unless you backet up to iCloud then, as I said my first reply:
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them (photos only) from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

At least Logic Pro 9 and Logic Pro X work correctly in Mountain Lion. Furthermore, Logic Pro X requires the latest OS X Mountain Lion version

HT200160 This solution does not seem to work when I upgraded from OS X 10.6 to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion). I've tried all versions of this. Any suggestions specific to getting this to work with Mountain Lion?

Any suggestions for making this work with Mountain Lion? I've tried all similar solutions on web. I've been able to get this to work with Lion, and after upgrading to Mountain Lion it seems to hold true (doesn't make me implement again). But when I went from OSX 10.6 to Mountain Lion and have to implement it on 10.8 - it isn't working. Thanks.

I have a Mac with Mountain Lion and a Pro MacBook with Maverick. Since going to the cloud with my calendar I get "updating iCal" signal and can't use the calendar on my mac

I have a Mac with Mountain Lion and a MacBook Pro with Maverick. Since I synced the calendar to icloud, I get a "upgrading iCal calendar" that won't go away. How do you fix this?

Try force quitting iCal by pressing Option-Command-Esc, selecting iCal and clicking Force Quit.
