I lost my calendars on ical.

hey all,
something went wrong (not sure what), but i lost two calenders on ical. luckily i had it on another device (imac) and could make a back-up while being offline. i imported it back to my MBP. however the two imported calenders are not synced to iCloud anymore.
i recently bought extrat storage on icloud and i'm afraid i'll lose that if i delete my icloud account (and open it again afterwards) as a possible solution..
any suggestions? 

Signing out on your Mac, or doing so on an iOS device by clicking the confusingly labelled 'Delete account' button, does not affect the account on the server in any way. When you sign out your iCloud data will disappear from your device but will reappear (give it time) when you sign back in.
However if you delete an iCloud calendar and then restore it from a backup to be under 'iCloud', it will disappear because iCloud will sync it to the same state as the server, i.e. deleted. This page explains the workaround if you run into this:

  • Lost multiple calendars on ical/outlook client after itunes upgrade to 10.6 40

    I have been sybcing my calendars between ical, outlook for mac, gmail, and others for over a year. I lost all calendar items that were not on my mac as of two days ago. The only update I can think of is an update to iTunes 10.6 40.
    How do I recover?

  • Lost a calendar in iCal

    I inadvertently deleted one of my calendars from iCal. I don't have a backup database. Any way to retrieve that calendar and it's listings??? Not optimistic.

    Donna,
    You said that you did not have "a backup database."
    Did you ever publish the calendar or use any sync services?
    ;~)

  • Missing calendar in iCal

    I've been using my iCal calendar on my iPhone 5 for over a year now.  Our "family" calendar on iCloud has disappeared; this has never happened before.  It's totally gone--all events past, present, and future (including many recurring events).  It's also gone on my iMac desktop. I didn't delete them and they are not "hidden" on the iCal app.  There is no longer even a checkbox to mark "show" or "hide" in the iCal app.  I have no idea where my events are. 
    My calendar is on iCloud, but due to "storage almost full" issues, I haven't had an iCloud back up in several months.  I don't use Time Machine either.  Are these events lost forever or is there ANY chance of getting them back.  Thanks for any and all help--I'm desperate.

    The same thing happened to me last night - all of a sudden my main calendar in ical was deleted.  I have no idea how this happened or how to retrieve my calendar.  I'm afraid to re-enter everything since I have no idea why it went missing in the first place from both my phone and my imac.

  • Does anyone know how to change where incoming (via mail) calendar requests go on my MacBook? Mine insist on going to Entourage, which I don't use any more. I've tried setting the default calendar in iCal preferences. Doesn't help. Bugs me. Can you help?

    I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
    On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
    I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
    I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

  • Upgraded to Mountain Lion, lost my Calendars

    I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion, and had several Calendars set up on my system, as well as some that are attached to Google Calendars. They also all synced to my iPhone 3G perfectly, so there was no issues if I ever added entries to one or the other, as they always transfered during my iPhone sync through iTunes.
    When going through the initial install of Mountain Lion I added the options for iCloud. Now, when I look at Calendars it only includes those synced with Google Calendars. The Cloud seems to have lost my regular calendars. I tried turning the Cloud settings on and off, which somehow managed to find two of my many different calendars, which I thought was a bit odd as they should all be the same technically.
    I then tried to sync my iPhone to the Mac, to see if it would pull all the calendars over so everything would be as before. I have all the options ticked on iTunes for this to happen, but it doesn't. I've tried it with the Cloud on and off, as I know that my 3G isn't compatible with Cloud services, but it makes no difference.
    I use these calendars a lot and could really use some help if anyone has a suggestion. They are still safe on my iPhone for now, but it's not a very nice UI to use in comparison.

  • Upgraded from Tiger - Lost all Calendars

    I upgraded (Archive and Install) from Tiger where I had about 10 calendars. None of them appear in the new Leopard iCal. This is despite the fact I can see all the data files have been placed in the appropriate Leopard Library folders: Calendars and Application Support > iCal. (None of the iCal files remain in the "Previous Systems" folder that is created when one does an archive and install upgrade.) Though using the Spotlight search method advised by other contributors will work, it's too laborious to do for all my calendars. (The events that do appear for a given calendar are in a different color to what I'd previously used, showing that the preferences were lost - even though no iCal preference files remain in the aforementioned "Previous Systems" folder. There must be an easier way?

    Question has been answered. To solve my problem I needed to log out of .Mac through my system preferences. From there, delete all mail accounts from Mail and close out Mail. Go back into system preferences, log into .Mac and check the sync settings. Then do a manual sync to sync everything to my MacBook Pro. This solved my issue because when I originally set up my sync settings after upgrading to Leopard, it never did sync all of my info. This time around it did.

  • Lost All Calendars after new Upgrade

    Being forced to upgrade I tried several times and never had luck. Finally this week I tried and was successful. Everything seemed fine. Today I opened iCal to add and entry. Suddenly all calendars were gone. They appear to be gone on mobile me. (Me.com) as well. I do have time machine back up if need be. I have tried deleting my account in iCal. I tried restarting, I tried typing in commands in the Terminal. I just get two calendars Home & Work with nothing in them.
    I am using a Macbook Pro 17 and the latest OS. Everything is up to date.
    Any ideas?
    M

    My experience was similar though not an exact match as I don't believe I lost the calendars on MM. But my recollection could be wrong. I did work through the problem though and was able restore my calendars and haven't had a bit of trouble since at either desktop or MM end.
    So here is link to my discussion. Perhaps there is some help here.
    Cheers!

  • Is there a way to create three different physical calendars in ical so that I can get a fiscal view of the calendars?

    Is there a way to create three physically different calendars in iCal so that I can view the calendar and events from a fical point of view?

    iCal just shows the calendars you have created in your account(s).  So if you are using iCloud just log into your iCloud account in a web browser and make as many new calendars as you wish to have.  Then enable those in iCal.
    If you use Google accounts or something else for the calendars, then create them as needed, and enable them in iCal.
    I have several separate calendars all displayed in iCal - a couple linked through my Gmail accounts, and one through my iCloud account.  Each uses a different default item color so they are distinct in iCal.

  • Added calendar in iCal not synced to MobileMe

    I moved a calendar from "On My Mac" to my MobileMe account group, using the export-import method. The new calendar, however, does not sync to MobileMe. I even tried an overwrite (bookmarks, calendars, contacts and keychains) from my Mac to MobileMe but the added calendar still did not appear in MobileMe.
    I quit and relaunched iCal, which started an immediate sync. The new calendar promptly disappeared from iCal and I got a string of error messages (one for each entry in the new calendar, it seems) all ending with
    The server responded with
    “HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict”
    and asking me to either "Go Offline" or "Revert to Server". It didn't seem to matter which one I selected – the error just kept cropping up. Eventually, I gave up and force quit iCal.
    How can I add a new calendar to iCal that will sync with MobileMe?

    Derek,
    I presume that this procedure represents exactly what you have tried to accomplish?
    Import an iCal calendar or event
    If you use iCal and want to add your iCal calendars and events to a MobileMe calendar, you can import them.
    Hide
    To import an iCal calendar:
    Open iCal, and then select the iCal calendar you want to import into your MobileMe calendar.
    Choose File > Export > Export.
    Type a calendar name, choose a location from the Where pop-up menu, and click OK.You can store the exported file anywhere, and you can delete it after you finish importing it.
    Choose File > New Calendar, and then choose a MobileMe calendar (by default, your MobileMe email address).
    Type a calendar name (you can use the same name as the calendar you just exported), and press Return.
    Choose File > Import > Import, select your exported iCal calendar, and then click Import.
    Select the destination MobileMe calendar to which you want to add the imported iCal calendar, and then click OK.
    Quit iCal and go to the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and delete any/all files with "Cache" as a part of the name. Log out/in or restart and reattempt using the exact procedure which I copied from the MobileMe Help page.

  • How to remove calendar in ical

    I clicked on a link that added a calendar to my ical which has now synced with my Google calendar and added all the events to it as well.  Unfortunately, I did not realize that this was going to add every single instance (multiple events per day) to all my calendars.
    I'd like to reverse this action but there is not easy way to do this in ical it seems.  I cannot "delete" the calendar because it does not appear in the list of subscribed calendars in ical.
    I subscribed to two calendars this way and I'd like to remove them both.  I also have to now deal with how to remove hundreds of entries in my Google calendar....and it seems there is no batch delete there either unless I pay for a third party program....arrrgh
    If anyone can shed some light on this I'd be most grateful.

    Thanks for your reply.  I "subscribed" to a couple of motorsports calendars in iCal by visiting a direct link on the Apple website like this one: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/2011motogpworldchampionshipcalen darprovisional_gpticketltd.html    
    This adds the events contained in this calendar directly to iCal and I can't for the life of me find a way to "unsubscribe" or eliminate these entries short of erasing them manually one by one.  Unfortunately, there are many of them.
    If you know how I may go about doing this in an efficient manner, please let me know!

  • View colleagues' exchange calendar in iCal?

    Hi!
    I can see my own Exchange calendar just fine with iCal 4 from the corporate Exchange server.  However, colleagues have also shared their Exchange calendars with me - which I can see just fine on Webmail / Exchange 2007, but I would also like to view these shared calendars in iCal.
    Any help would be well appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Greg.

    Hi guys,
    "googling" I found this applescript:
    tell application "iCal"
              set color of calendar "Calendar" to choose color default color {0, 0, 0}
    end tell
    Waiting for an Apple fix, you can use this. It's wok like a charm!

  • How to Sync two calendars in iCal

    OK, here is my problem. I can access two calendars with iCal (one is on Google Calendar and the other one is on a Microsoft Exchange 2007 server) how can I synchronize them the best? I want to keep both in their original place, but I also want things to show up in both.

    Stephen,
    It seems to me that you have correctly determined that it makes sense to only publish an identical calendar from one of the computers.
    After appropriately backing up your calendars, you might want to consider Resetting .Mac Sync. It appears as if both of your computers are using 10.4.6, but just in case..."If you sync between computers with different versions of Mac OS X, try to reset the sync data from the computer with Mac OS X 10.4, if possible."
    Make sure that "Synchronize my calendars with other computers using .Mac is checked in the General Preference of the iMac.

  • Can I create a shared calendar on iCal from the New iPad?

    My company just gave out iPads for use to all field employees. My coworkers and I currently have an Outlook shared calendar that we utilize for scheduling our work. We can not access the shared calendars on our iPads, therefore I would like to create a shared calendar in iCal that we can all access for sharing our schedule as we were doing on Outlook. Is this possible?
    NOTE: The idea is that I would like to use the iPad as the sole resource, instead of carrying our laptops around just to access the shared outlook calendar/schedule. The laptops are outdated junk that requires roughly 20 mins of time just to power up, connect and sign in to our servers...very inefficient.
    Thank you!

    I have a bluetooth 2 keyboard from Brookstone, will it work with the iPad?

  • Printing 'checked calendars' in iCal

    I have 25+ calendars in iCal and always found the following functionality useful (which is described in iCal 2.0 Help online):
    +By default, the calendars that are currently selected in the main iCal window will be printed. Selecting or deselecting calendars here does not affect what's checked in the main calendar view, it only affects what is printed.+
    I didn't realize just how useful this feature was until I upgraded to 3.0 and it stopped working this way. Now whenever I go to print a calendar, ALL calendars are checked to be printed as the default and I have to uncheck the ones I don't want one by one (or by group).. even more annoying because the window they give you to do this in the Print dialogue box is tiny not resizable.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Any help on how I can get iCal to work properly? I checked iCal help within the application and it says the default is the same as I listed above from 2.0. Your feedback and help is much appreciated!

    I'm adding a "me too" too. This is making me crazy. I have about 10 calendars that I have to uncheck to print one calendar every day!
