ICal-all events deleted and won't let me add new HELP!!

Hi there,
Recently I started my iCal and all my entries were gone. Not only that, but it won't let me add new entries no matter what I do. As well, my to do list on the right is blank and the space on the left where my calendars were listed before is also blank. If I go into my computer I can find the files from iCal with the information but they aren't showing up in iCal itself.
HELP!!
Thanks

klgreene595,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
1. Can you associate this behavior with anything that you recently installed on your computer?
2. Are you using MobileMe, or any other sync software?
3. Do you have any backups such as Time Machine, or an iCal archive?
4. What calendars do you have listed in your sources pane?
5. Have you subscribed to any calendars?
6. Do you have an iPad or iPhone?
7. Where have you found the iCal files on your computer?
8. Have you attempted to repair disk permissions?
9. Try refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the "com.apple.iCal.plist" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, and drag the .plist file to your Desktop. Then log out/in or restart.

  • Io6 update deleted my mobileme account and all my emails and won't let me add it again. Does anyone know if there is a way?

    I updated my iPhone 3GS with the new IO6 update last night and when it rebooted, my mobileme email account had been deleted along with all of my emails. I am unable to add the account again despite copying the settings on my ipad. There must be a way to get it back? I hope? Does anyone have any ideas?
    I am using incoming mail server: mail.me.com  this seems to be the problem as it will send emails using the smtp.me.com server.
    I have also tried imap.mail.me.com, and smtp.me.com and mail.icloud.com and smtp.me.com Nothing seems to work but it could be something simple I've overlooked? Help would be much appreciated... any method of getting the emails to my iPhone would be fine by me.

    Mobile Me was turned off months ago.

    Hook it up to your computer and open itunes. try to download hte apps via your computer. Every time you update hte software you have to reagree to the itunes terms of service. Sometimes it's hard to get it to come up on the device, but is easier on a computer.

    Good call Collin. I would also zero the HD while I was starting over.

  • Custom color-palette keeps becoming read-only and will not let me add new swatches

    I need to make a custom colour palette for work that i can open on different adobe programs, share with others and add new swatches to as I go. I create a custom palette, save it a custom name but whenever I re-open it, it has become a read-only palette and I can no longer add custom swatches to it. How do I get around this problem if I need to keep adding colours to my custom palettes?
    Thanks

    In case you need to keep swatches from the ASE:
    create a new document
    empty the swatches panel
    add all the swatches from the ASE into that document's swatches panel
    add new colors as swatches
    from the swatches panel's menu select "save library"
    Also see the manual on creating swatches.

  • On my iPhone's calendar, the " " sign is gray and won't let me add events. Plus I've lost all my future events. Help?

    My iPhone's Calendar's "+" sign is gray and I cannot add events. Plus I've lost All future events.  Help?

    I think you also played with the contrast setting.
    Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Increse contrast.
    Turn it off.
    Voila.

  • IMovie isn't autosaving my events/movies and won't let me export the file. How can I ensure my projects aren't deleted if I can't manually save?

    I created a movie w/ no theme and added my raw footage to it. I edited and was ready to export but wouldn't let me share the file. When I tried to export to a file, in the "Theater" view the progress bar stayed empty and there were no files created in the target folder.
    I closed iMovie (since it should auto-save my work) to try again and when I re-opened iMovie (took a couple tries, as it froze the first time I opened it) there was no movie. No trace of any of the work I had done, other than the raw imported footage.
    Two questions:
    1) Why isn't iMovie autosaving the movie?
    2) Why wasn't I able to export it?

    What exactly is the error you get?
    How are you attempting this copy?
    There's almost certainly a way to accomplish what you want to do (probably best from the terminal possibly copying the entire user dir and fixing up permissions, etc.) but I'm not sure you will end up with the results you want.  There are plists in the preferences dir that you probably don't want to copy over (e.g., many of the com.apple.* prefererences).  And many apps also create more than just plists.  There may be stuff in Application Support, LaunchAgents, Internet Plug-Ins, etc.).  And this would be stuff you do want to copy.  Bottom line is it is not a trivial exercise which is probably why the system is slapping your hands for even attempting it

  • ICal won't let me add new events.

    I can't add any new events to my iCal on my Macbook Pro.
    But I can edit the existing ones.
    I can also add events on my iCloud calendar online and on my iPhone and it will show up on my iCal on my Macbook Pro.

    Lizah,

  • My google calander won't let me add new events; my pandora won't load; and a youtube video pops up randomly on both these sights when I refresh the page.help!!

    These seem to be problems with firefox, but I am not computer savvy so I don't know for sure. I have cleared history, cache, cookies and rebooted the computer. Other users of the computer said it was acting funny but provided no details. Sometimes also a tab just randomly closes. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!!

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • My iPad is getting iMessages from a past user and won't let me add my phone number. Help!

    Hello,
    I recently was gifted an iPad 3 from my boyfriend to use as I please, since he got a new one.  I also recently got an iPhone 5.  He had the ipad set up to his phone number, and when I logged his apple ID out of setting>apples&itunes and put mine in, and also went to settings>messages>and added my apple account info, it only gives me a check mark for my email, and not one for my phone number.
    When it was logged into his account, he had a checkmar I next to his email and his phone number, so he would receive all his iMessages through his ipad. I don't see anywhere to add a phone number.  Anyone have any ideas why this isn't working?
    I hope that made sense.
    Thank you!!!

  • ITunes won't let me add new songs to established playlists - what's wrong?

    I'm more than frustrated. Yesterday, everything worked fine! I created 3 playlists and did the drag/drop of songs into the playlists. Today, I bought more music. Those songs show up in my library. But ... when I try to drag/drop the new songs into the established playlists, the playlists don't update. No new songs.
    iTunes 6.0.4.2
    Windows XP Home
    Thanks!
      Windows XP  

    I'm really a novice at this ... I just found the added songs. I thought they would be put in alphabetically just like the first round. They weren't ... they were added on the bottom.
    Sorry for my stupid question. ::sigh::

  • My Ipod Touch keeps going back to main screen and won't let me play games, read my ebook, etc.

    My IPOD Touch was working great until about 2 weeks ago.  Now when I try to play a game, read an ebook, etc. it automatically goes back to the screen showing all my apps and won't let me stay and use the app I have selected.  Is there anything I can do?

    Try a hard reset of the iPod.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • ICal quits unexpectedly and won't let me view 2011

    iCal "quits unexpectedly" whenever I try to look at the year 2011. Whenever it reopens it reverts back to 2001 or 2004, and won't let me see anything. I use Lion (Just updated it whenever it came out), and have no software updates waiting for me. Originally it froze up, wouldn't let me delete one of my events, and then it quit. So I restarted my computer a few times, shut it down, and it's still doing the same thing. Except it's getting worse. At first it wouldn't let me see a certain week in December, then the month of December, and now all of 2011. It would be seriously helpful if I could access my class schedule and my assignment duedates before I have to actually go to class...

    DaniM.,
    You may want to try refreshing the iCal plist file.
    The com.apple.iCal.plist file is in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To get to the Library folder use Finder>Go>Depress the "Option" Key and select LIbrary. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop.
    Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the apppropriate "Region:" Then log out/in or restart.
