ICal appointments keep disappearing

Is anyone else having the problem of disappearing appointments? When I set up my iCloud account I created a number of calendars in iCloud. I then moved all my appointments from the calendars on my mac to the new ones in iCloud. Everything was fine and all the calendars sync between iCould, my mac, my iPhone, and my iPad. But lately I have been having a problem keeping the appointments on my mac, they tend to dissapear at the most incovient times and just show me a blank calendar - like when I go to look at my calendar to see what is coming up next and all of a sudden its blank! One minutes they are there, the next they dissapear. And then it takes awhile for them to sync back up.

gswank2,
What's going on? And is there is a fix?
I just made this post to another user, but it bears repeating.
I recommend that you read:
1. How to reset .Mac Sync
2. How-To: Truly reset your .Mac sync data
My primary advice is to ensure that you use the backup feature on iCal before you try anything else. If you are using different versions of OS X/iCal the menu commands will be slightly different, but the comfort of having a good backup is "Priceless."

  • ICal calendars keep disappearing

    I maintain identical calendars on both of my computers, keeping them synched via .Mac. Recently all of the calendars disappeared. Events and To Does appeared for the current month, but I was unable to change between months. Soon the whole thing quit working.
    I restored one set of calendars from Time Machine and got it working. After adding in the new dates that dropped out in that process, I copied the entire Calendars file (User/Library/Calendars) directly over to the other computer. That worked—for one day. Now all the calendars are missing again from my laptop, and it's right back to where it was.
    Also, as part of that process I replaced all the calendar data on .Mac with data from the working calendar, just in case there was contamination from problem stored on .Mac.
    What's going on? And is there is a fix?
    Thanks.

  • Appointments and events keep disappearing from iCal

    I put appointments and events on iCal and they keep disappearing.  The ones that were added up until a few weeks ago are still there, just not the newly added ones.  They will be there for maybe a few hours or a day and then vanish.  I'm not techie at all.  Please bear with me.  I have an old MacBook, that runs Mac OS X, 10.6.8 and desperately need help!

    Try a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • ICal Tasks/To Do Items Keep Disappearing, plus search function doesn't work

    Ever since I upgraded my Mobile Me calendars about two or three weeks ago, which as I understand makes my calendars now LIVE on the Mobile Me cloud instead of directly on my computers, I have had nothing but trouble with iCal. I use Bento with iCal for my project management system — I use the iCal Tasks for my basic information, and I added extra fields in Bento for other details I like to track. Anyway, the upgrade completely unhinged where those two came together so that the basic information that Bento was getting from iCal no longer matched with the extra details.
    But that's no longer my problem. I fixed that easily by completely changing the way I track things now — I did away with the extra fields and decided to have Bento work directly and only with the information in my iCal app.
    Still, another problem came up, the one I need an answer to. New tasks I entered through Bento, wouldn't KEEP on iCal. They'd show up momentarily, but a day or two later, they would be gone.
    I thought I fixed it a few days ago when I discovered that Time Zone Support wasn't checked on iCal. I made sure it was checked on all my computers AND on Mobile Me because I suspected that Tasks were disappearing every time my computers synced with Mobile Me. It seemed to work fine after making sure everything supported time zones. I even synced a few times, just to test it, checked all calendars at all places, and whatever Tasks or To Do Items I added from within Bento appeared to sync fine, appear at all the proper places, at all instances of the calendars, AND stay put.
    BUT I just discovered tonight, that the new Tasks I entered in the last week for one of my calendars have ONCE AGAIN disappeared. For some reason, though, the new tasks I entered for another one of my calendars managed to stay put. I have no idea why one calendar was affected and another wasn't.
    The point is, I can't for the life of me figure out why my newly entered Tasks keep disappearing. Is it an iCal thing? Is it Mobile Me? Is it because I am entering the tasks/to do items from within Bento? What?
    And the icing on the cake? The search function on the iCal app on one of my computers no longer works. I will search for a task/to do item that I KNOW is there and can actually see on the side bar, but it will not pop up in the search results. I searched online about how to fix that, but none of the fixes work — many of them, I believe, are outdated and so can't work in my case.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix these issues?

    with iTunes and the apple.com web site, you don't hit
    the Magnifing glass, after typing out what your
    searching for, you hit enter on the keyboard. The mag
    glass (Atleast in windows) is just for decor showing
    you its a search field, its not an actual button like
    it would be in most Microsoft/Windows apps
    Thanks. I thought the magnifying glass was a clickable icon.

I did it once but I cannot find how I did it before.  Obviously, the iphone/smartphone experience iis still new to me.  Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

    Since you're using a 3rd party app for calendaring, take a look at their support site.

  • Notes in iCal keep disappearing since Yosemite

    My notes on my recurring calendar events keep disappearing.  I have tried adding them through iCloud.com and that will work for a couple of days and then they will disappear. This happens when I add notes via my MacPro, Macbook Pro or iPhone.  I can't find anything related while searching the discussions in the last couple of years.
    OS X 10.10.1

    I've entered in a bug report so we'll see what happens....

  • Why are my iCal calendars randomly disappearing with all their corresponding events?

    Why are my ical calendars randonly disappearing? I updated to Maverick, but one disappeared before I did that update. I have 10 different calendars, each identified by its own color, example: "work" calendar is yellow, my personal calendar is green. Every month or so, one randomly disappears without my even being in the program or changing anything. Along with the calendar ALL its events are gone as well. None of those events show on my iphone, imac, ipad or macboook pro. They just vanish, along with many appointments I have scheduled, and their directions and info. Im SO FRUSTRATED! Im ready to go back to paper.

    Got it fixed cal got set for icloud on my iphone. now I can choose them in itunes.

  • ICal appointments lost since 2011

    I have lost all my iCal appointments, what to do? Everything since 2011 is lost. I went to the Apple store and they could not help me. We were trying to find out if I had another apple account, of which I cannot retrieve the password back. It might be possible that i had an ipad and put it to wifi and in that way icloud deleted all my appointments??? I will destroy the ipad physically and never use this stupid icloud again, but is there any chance to recover the appointments?

    I just upgraded my MacBook Pro Intel laptop to Snow Leopard, and my iCal lost my "personal" and "family" calendars. There is no longer any content in those calendars in username/library/iCal - but there is in "work", "vacation", and another custom calendar. These events in these calendars have also disappeared from MobileMe, with the exception of about 4 or 5 random events over the past couple of years (out of probably thousands in those two calendars over several years, as these were loaded from an Outlook calendar in 2006). Interestingly, all my recent events in the missing calendars are still on my iPhone.
    I tried the com.apple.iCal.plist on the desktop suggestion, but this did not recover any content. Any suggestions? Even some ideas about why just these two calendars (with the bulk of my content this year) have been affected, not the others? Very strange (not to mention very frustrating, as I'll have to recreate all of that content, it seems). Thanks.

  • My calendar events keep disappearing when I add them to my iphone 5 calendar.

    My calendar events keep disappearing from my iphone5 a few days after I put them in. I tried all the fixes listed in other questions, but it's not a matter of syncing or not, the appointments disappear and they're not anywhere else either. I need the appointments to stay on my phone, I don't add appointments any other way or on any other device, and when they're gone, I have no idea what I'm missing. It's screwing up my work schedule because I don't know what has disappeared.

    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

    Memory on my macbook air keeps disappearing.  I have 120 gigs and I am down to 150mb without adding any files.

    Thanks...I have tried the various options and the only item of interest is that my only account on this computer says it has 102 gig of memory used up.  However, when I open and look at the individual files, they add up to less than 15 gigs.

  • Final cut wont open and keeps disappearing while loading

    Since friday, I am trying to open final cut and wont let me, it disappears as soon as it starts loading. I restarted the mac so many times and I have reinstalled final cut and nothing. keeps disappearing.
    any thoughts?

    Before the long winded uninstall / reinstall hoopla, did you just try trashing your preferences? Might be all you need. You can do it manually of course but the free Preference Manager tool from Digital Rebellion handles it easily plus allows you to create preference set backups and more : http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm

  • I have OSX 10.5.8 and I keep installing FireFox, but it keep disappearing. When I try to download the newest version, my software isn't compatible because I DON"T have the intel "chip. What can I do to reinstall an older version of Firefox?

    Firefox not only disappears from my dock but also from my Applications folder. I tried to downl0ad it again today (5/19/2011), however, it says my system isn't compatible because I don't have an Intel processor. Any suggestions. I have problems with Safari and like to use Firefox but can't if it keeps disappearing and then Mozilla tells me that I can't install after I have already downloaded the application.

    For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 (PowerPC) you can look at:
