ICal calendar list empty but events still visible

So here's the problem. I open iCal last night, and my calendar list is empty. Also, when I open iCal there are no events visible until I change views (say from week to month or month to day). The same is true of my tasks. Even after changing views, though, my calendar list is still empty. The only change I've made in the last day or two is to have iCal sync my calendars with .Mac.
I'm running 10.4.3 on a 17 inch Powerbook G4 1GHz with 1GB RAM. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

ellisjs,
I'm having the same problems that you describe. There is another thread in the forums that discuss the same issues. One user, Norm, Gilbert, offers a solution that has worked for him.
"If I remember the steps, they involved removing the following items in the user library:
~\library\preferences\com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist
~\library\preferences\com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
~\library\preferences\com.apple.iCal.plist
and then deleting the .plist files from here:
~\library\application suport\iCal
and then moving the Sources folder from here to the Desktop:
~\library\application suport\iCal
Then a restarted my Mac and lunched iCal. Everything worked as expected and has continued to work properly even after adding events, re-starting and doing a sync with Mark Space Missing Sync.
Knock on wood, it keeps working."
After following his steps it works until I launch iCal again. It varies from now showing my calendars to not showing my To Do's. I have not seen any fixes that work yet, but will continue to monitor this thread for any solutions. It appears to be a 10.4.3 issue from I have seen so far.

ICal calendar list is empty and all events are gone

My iCal calendar list shows up empty and all my calendar events are gone as well. I read posts with a similar issue where the list of calendars disappeared yet the events remained. In this case, everything is missing.
I tried deleting the ical plist file but it did not help.
Has anyone else seen this?

i deleted everything under
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
and started over to fix it

Some iCal Subscription Calendars disappeared in iCal, but events still show up?

Hi there,
Here's my situation as simply as possible. I'm on Lion 10.7.4. Some iCal Subscription Calendars disappeared on my iMac iCal, but the events still show up.
1. On iCal on my iMac:
     - I have 10 subscription calendars, but now only 6 show up. --> (Herein lies the issue)
     - Events from the 4 missing calendars still show up.
2. iPhone:
     - has all 10 subscription calendars
     - has all events showing up
3. iPad:
    - has all 10 subscription calendars
     - has all events showing up
Does anyone know of an official workaround for this issue? What is the best approach to handling this issue?
thanks!

Exact same issue here. Individual events deleted from a recurring appointment continue to show up in Calendar (OS X 10.8.2). Same events do not show up on calendar if viewed via outlook from my desk PC or view outlook web app from anywhere.
Clearly a bug.

Entourage & iCal Calendars in Sync but .Mac Calendar Empty

I am able to sync my Entourage and iCal calendars between my two machines with no problem but my .Mac calendar is empty though it displays the correct name for the calendar when I access it at http://ical.mac.com/[myname]/[calendar name]. Can anyone help me please? Is this an iDisk problem? I have closed down and rebooted both machines but this hasn't made any difference.

I would also like to know what to do about this as I am having the exact same problem.
If I upgrade to Lion will it import all the calendars from the iCloud?
or Can i get everything back without having to upgrade?

ICal Calendars list blank, MissingSync, MobileMe issues

I'm using OS X 10.4.11 and iCal 2.0.5. I recently installed Missing Sync 6.0.4 for Palm OS (to sync with a Palm TX), so am finally actually using iCal instead of the Palm calendar. I also just got around to resubscribing to .mac (without realizing that I was doing so smack in the midst of the MobileMe launch). I'm listing all three of these questions together in case there's some connection -- most likely something connected to MissingSync or MobileMe setup.
1. iCal was working fine for me, synched with the Palm via Missing Sync, etc., but now I can't see the list of calendars. I can see events in the calendar itself, color-coded for different calendars, but nothing shows up in the calendars list (left-hand pane). Any ideas how to get that list back?
And two other questions, in case anyone here has answers:
2. Sent this query to Mark/Space (MissingSync) a couple days ago, but no reply yet -- when I sync Palm and iCal, events entered on the Palm do not get copied to the laptop. No error messages, and all else goes fine ... Events conduit is set for "Synchronize," "All calendars," and to put read-only events in "Unfiled."
3. Sent this query twice to Mac's MobileMe help, but have gotten only a completely unhelpful form letter with generic links back ... (Yes, I realize their support people are probably utterly bogged down right now.) I used to have .Mac, but expired 1/07. Now have a .Me account. I can't sync at all, even just to my iDisk (let alone with my other Mac) -- .Mac in System Preferences won't let me set up Sync (when I click that tab, it "thinks" for a while, then get a "problem with the sync operation: .Mac login failed" error message). Specifically re: iCal: is there some workaround? Some painless way to sync iCal events to iDisk without a functioning Sync feature? I'm hoping the sync failure is just a temporary glitch, and not a sign that I need to upgrade to Tiger if I want basic .Mac-level functionality, but main thing is just being able to view/use my iCal calendars from my work computer!

Installation continues to degrade. On startup of the application, all buttons and controls are missing.
Closing and restarting iCal causes the buttons and controls to return, but all calendar entries are missing.
Restarting the computer causes the sequence to start again - controls are missing, restarting the app brings them back but then calendar entries are useless.
Totally useless.

On iPhone 5, cannot get iCal calendar List to appear

iPhone 5: IOS 7.1
Since installing the latest 7.1, found that when I open iCal, and click on the search icon at the top right of the window, the keyboard comes up but with the month showing. On top of the month is a gray transparent overlay. The List will not appear. When I type an "L" on the keyboard, only a few of the listings appear. There is nothing I can do to get my entire list to appear. I have pressed the Home and OFF/ON button to reboot the iPhone with no success. Any suggestions?

Herschel,
Bring back calendar list view in iOS!!: Apple Support Communities explains the changes.

How can I change the order of iCal calendars listed ON MY MAC?

After upgrading to Lion the order of calendars listed on the left in iCal changed from my previous choice. I cannot modify the order by dragging a calendar to a different position in the list. I shall appreciate any suggestion to be able to have the list reordered.

Subscribe to a podcast. By default the episodes will be listed in reverse order, newest on top. In the column header for 'Release date' click the arrow so that it points upwards:
The order will now be oldest on top.
Create a playlist: select all the episodes you want to be in it in the podcast list and drag them to the playlist (enable the sidebar if necessary to make all this easier, command-option-s). They will appear in correct order and play continuously.

Previous Recipients List is Empty, But They Still Show Up

OK, weird issue...
Over the years my previous recipients list has gotten pretty junked up. I read on the forum if I wanted to start from scratch to delete the file in the ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book/ that contained the info. I did that, restarted and when I look at Mail in the Previous Recipients list (Window/Previous Recipients) it is empty. However, when I start to type an address in Mail it is still pulling some info from somewhere that is not in my address book. Any ideas out there?

No one is smart enough to help me out on this one? I am sure someone has seen this!

ISync synced iCal calendars to phone but erased from computer. Help!

I performed a sync today to my Motorola E815 cell phone. All of the contacts synced fine but the calendars didn't. All of the calendars from iCal were copied over fine, but the no longer appear in iCal.
Will syncing again copy the calendars back from the phone to the computer or will they erase off of the phone and no copy over. I am scared of losing them altogether. I could reenter them manually but that would take forever. Is there anyway to get my calendars back?
I had performed a backup of iCal a few weeks ago but don't know how to revert to that, plus I have made several changes since then.
What can I do?

If you created the backup using the the option labeled Back up Database… under the File menu in iCal, then restoring that data is as easy as choosing the option labeled Revert to Database Backup… directly beneath it. If you used another means, restoration might be a little more complex. It depends entirely upon what you originally chose to to, as a restoration is effectively a reversal of this process.
In any event, to restore the information on your mobile handset to iCal, you should reset the synchronization framework by…
• launching iSync
• opening the Preferences… dialog
• pressing the Reset Sync History… button and following the instructions which appear
You can achieve the same effect by removing your device from iSync and then adding it back. The key is to select the option to Merge the data in iCal with your mobile handset, rather than to Replace the data on your mobile handset with the data stored in iCal, which is presently empty.
If you do first successfully restore iCal and elect to merge your data, it will recognize equivalent records and merge them, and will add the records which differ on either device to the other.
The key to a successful outcome is to proceed slowly and deliberately, follow any instructions which occur, and ponder the likely outcome as you move forward. Generally speaking, you can stop at any point and back out of the process without affecting your data, though once you have reset or removed and then added back your device, the framework will eventually have to accommodate this change, and will perform a full, slow synchronization the next time you try to synchronize. Again, at that point if you cancelled earlier, you will have to elect to merge rather than replace data.

ICal Calendar List Blank in Lion

I don't recall this being the case when I first installed Lion, but the list of calendars in iCal has gone missing and the overall behavior of the application is problematic. This first came up when I noticed that Holiday events were displayed twice in the calendar. I clicked on calendar to get a list to see if perhaps the Holiday calendar was duplicated. No list appeared. At some point, I clicked on the calendar display itself and the missing pane appeared. It was, however, blank.
Clicking on the list itself produces no result.
Any ideas?
Have to say I'm deeply disappointed in this release of iCal - between bugs like this, the removal of features (like being able to just display the list of calendars in a section of the display), and the idiotic, unnecessary skeuomorphic user interface the application has become a triumph of form over actual function.

Installation continues to degrade. On startup of the application, all buttons and controls are missing.
Closing and restarting iCal causes the buttons and controls to return, but all calendar entries are missing.

Why does my ical calendar list not reflect what is in my calendar. It has all the deleted calendars?

I am trying to sync my IPAD II with iTunes 10.
I have reorganized my calendar by renaming and deleting some calendars.
When I go to the info tab and try and select what calendar I would like to sync I get the old list of calendars from before I made my changes.
I have reset the sync services folder by using this command in a terminal window
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
and they all disappeared.
When I attempted a new sync all the old calendars showed up again.
I am doing this on my I-mac using Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Any help would be appreciated.

Found a solution form an other post.
I hade to stop the sync to my iPad to delete the calendars on it.
Then I synced again and only had the new calendars that I had in my ICal.

ICal and calendar lists in calendar view

The calendar lists no longer appear in the calendar view of iCal. I was having a problem so deleted ical from the macbook, then did a complete reinstall with an archive and save old settings, THEN updated all the software, THEN deleted the user account that does not show the calendar lists. THEN went to the admin account which has iCal working well with all views and did a reset of my .mac info so that it was/should be just as the correct one was. THEN set up another user account and reloaded the data on inital sync to overwrite data in the new user account. I thought that all these steps should have my calendar lists back BUT not so! Interestingly when i make the calendar list window smaller the scroll bar appears. Any assistance with this will be appreciated

There is now a new app doing exactly that. ReplyAll app is a new iPhone app which allows to reply to all attendees of a calendar events or forward it to a new invitee as well as replying by SMS to the event organizer. It was created mainly for users who use their iPhone to manage their events. The app was build based on iOS 7 Look and Feel.https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/replyall/id749454893

How do you select the ical calendar which an event is added to?

Since switching from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4, I cannot choose which ical calendar to add an event to. It used to be an option when you created a new event, but now it creates all events in a new calendar, called 'calendar', which I neither want, nor seem to be able to delete. There appears to be no way to select the calendar or edit which calendar the event appears in. This is important to me as my 'work' calendar is shared with multiple colleagues.
Can anybody help?
Al.

Perfect, thank you!

ICal Calendar or ToDo list not showing up.

I recently switched from Palm Desktop to iCal to sync with my Treo 680. (Mac OS Tiger 10.4.11). I'm using Missing Sync as my sync app.
The iCal Calendar list only shows up once in a while, usually not at all. Intermittently, my To Do list doesn't show up at all times either, or sometimes only partial lists. Everything on the Palm Treo is fine, though.
So far I am not liking iCal-- Palm Desktop seems much more capable and iCal seems filled with bugs.
Please help- I don't think I can switch back to Palm Desktop, but I can't function properly with only a partially working iCal...

No you will just need to go to preferences in ical and make sure it is what you want.
