ICal Calendars gone

Hi
Since upgrading my calendar on mobile me and my OS to 10.6.5 both my laptop and my desktop versions of iCal are completely empty. My phone and my wife's phone still sync fine and all the calendars are correct on mobile me. I have three calendars and one subscription (at last Apple). I really don't mind using the online version of the calendar but for convenience it would be nice to get iCal running again.
Any ideas?
Thanks you in advance

Was having a similar problem with a client's set up: her computers would have calendars in "On My Mac" and would sync w/each other only. Her iPad would sync w/MobileMe calendar only.
This support document was the key to figuring out what to do:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4340
In particular, the section "Getting your iCal data into the new MobileMe Calendar servers"
Basically, you need to get the "On My Mac" calendar events into MobileMe calendars then delete the "On My Mac" calendars on all computers. It should go without saying that you should have everything backed up first!

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

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.

Shared calendars gone after I set up iCloud

My wife and I have a shared calendar. I moved over to the iCloud and now the shared calendar is gone. I tired to re-share the calendar from her calendar that is still on Mobile Me and it would not go through. Is it not possible to share the old MobileMe calendar with an iCLoud calendar?

I was having the same problem as most of you. I was not able to share my calendars after the move to iCloud from MobileMe, but my wife was. I am not sure what caused it, whether it was because the calendars were on share with everyone before the move or not. I did however figure out a way to solve the issue.
1- Open iCal on your Mac, close iCal on the internet (iCloud)
2- On your Mac choose each calendar (right click on name) and choose stop sharing
3- On your Mac choose each calendar ( right click on name), chose sharing settings, then click on button for "only the people you invite", enter person's apple ID/email, click update.
4- reopen iCal calendar on web
5- Choose calendar that wasn't working, now you should have option to add people to share with, and the person you specified in step 3 will already be there. Hit "resend calendar invitation" (it will be in blue). The person you sent the invite to will now be able to share your calendar.
Hope this works for all of you the way it worked for me.

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.
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.

Ical calendar on my mac not synching with iCloud

icloud calendars is checked in system preferences, however my ical appears empty on my macbook pro. Why is my iphone calendar not synching with ical in macbook pro even though icloud preferences are properly set up?

I wish I'd found this earlier. Here's some info that takes Winston's solution a bit further:
I just spent a bunch of time with Apple and have solved my similar problem. A week ago, iCal and my iPhone calendar stopped syncing. My assortment of iCal calendars were gone from iCloud, so that was the problem (not phone to iCloud). After much de-selecting and re-selecting, I realized that all my important calendars were @me.com type. I tested the iCloud calendars, and they functioned perfectly. Apple explained a simple way to migrate the @me.com calendars to iCloud:
Create a new iCloud calendar File > New Calendar > iCloud
Name the calender
Right click the old @me.com calendar and choose Export. Desktop is a good destination.
Drag the exported calendar from your desktop to the new iCloud calendar
iCal should show duplicates of all events in the @me.com calendar.
De-select the @me.com calendar. The duplicates will disappear.
Repeat with all the @me.com calendars and abandon this antiquated list.
Rejoice in your shiny new list of iCloud calendars that shows up everywhere it is supposed to.
There must be a lot of people out there who still have @me.com calendars, so I hope this info reaches them before they all spend time and money with Apple trying to sort it out.

Sgned up for iCloud 3 days ago. Why is "upgrading iCal Calendar" still running?

Systems: OS 10.7.5 running on iMac 20 (2006); OS 10.7.5 running on MacBook Pro (2008); OS 7.0.4 on iPad (2013)
Signed up for iCloud on Tuesday (1/28). On Wednesday, implemented Calendar update. MacBook and iPad updated smoothly. iMac is still running upgrade. Progres bar says, "Upgrading iCal calendars...". Can't open anything in calendar, but alerts for appointments are running. I can force quit iCal, but it goes back to Upgrading when I reopen it. Is this normal behavior?

Like all of you, I am experiencing a problem with the iCloud calendar. I deleted a contact from my contacts on my iPhone 4, but their birthday still remains on the iCloud calendar.
Their details were removed from my contacts on my iPhone 4 and on my Macbook Pro. Their birthday was successfully removed from iCal on my Macbook Pro and from the calendar on my iPhone 4, but their birthday still remailns on the iCloud calendar.
I tried deleting it from the iCloud calendar, but it always says "READ-ONLY CALENDAR - You cannot make changes to this calendar because it's read-only". This is because the calendar is a subscription to the birthdays of your contacts. I have done everything I know of to fix this, but alas, nothing worked. This is really frustrating. I think it must be a glitch with the way iCloud syncs because the contacts list on iCloud, my iPhone 4 and my Macbook Pro have all synced correctly to reflect the deletion of the contact and the sync has just left behind a small piece of information on the iCloud calendar. Information I want gone.
Has anyone had any contact with Apple over this? I hope that as more people experience this problem, Apple sorts it out ASAP.

No longer can publish iCal calendar as a viewable webpage?

My wife has been publishing her business iCal calendar as a viewable webpage for many years. This feature is no longer working.
One can "publish" and send the email advertising the calendar webpage URL, but the link to mobile me is broken - the page will not load and ultimately times out and redirects to an Apple page saying that "We're sorry, your .Mac calendar is temporarily unavailable."
How do we share our calendars with others without them having to subscribe thru a calendar app?
This is very disappointing - calendar publishing was the whole reason my wife purchased mobileme.

The problem with Google Calendars is that you can't embed them inside your own web page like you can with iCal, unless someone knows something about Google calendars that I don't.
I've tried other calendar solutions, but most require more effort than iCal.
These recent problems may be temporary. Something far bigger has gone wrong with iCal... people are losing everything that they have put into iCal. Check some of the other threads. If desktop iCal app looks OK, backup NOW with FILE>EXPORT>iCal Archive. The problems started with the latest update. (You might want to avoid it for now, unless it's too late.)
I've been happy with web calendar publishing with iCal so far, but still look for other alternatives from time to time.
Sometimes loading is slow, and some of my site visitors claim it doesn't load at all, but I don't know what can be done about that.
You also have to keep in mind that Apple doesn't contribute to Apple Discussions (ever!), and who knows whether they read any of this. It's just you and I helping each other. Not ideal, but I've received some great advice this way.
Anyway, beware of the bigger problem of total loss of your iCal events!

Upgrade of OS lost some of ical calendar events

I upgraded my OS from 10.4 to 10.6.8 on my iMac core duo intel computer. I have now lost a lot of events that were on my old iCal calendar. I have lost a lot of my calendar events in the upgrade. What happened and how can I recapture the missing events?

Hello:
Did you make an archive copy of the calendar at any point?
If you did not, I suspect that they are gone forever.

I create a birthday calendar in iCal and then click on it in iphoto at the begining of the calendar project each year. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project?

I created a birthday calendar to use in iphoto for calendar. When a new calendar project is started each year, I click on it in. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar this year. The photo calendar is almost complete. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project? I would prefer not to start over.

Hi,
If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.
Best wishes

ICal Calendar Colors Changing On Their Own; iCloud Connection

AGGRAVATING PROBLEM:
Many in this forum have written recently about a problem ongoing for people with multiple iCal calendars where iCal calendar colors change "automatically" when you haven't selected those colors, or even "change back" before your eyes to some color your DIDN'T select after you select a new one. If you log into iCloud on the Web and try to change the color of certain calendars, they refuse to change. Try as you might, the color you want for your calendar won't "stick" and it is forced to be the wrong color on all your devices. In some cases, even the names of some of the calendars cannot be changed. On other calendars in your list, the colors and names will change fine.
Related symptoms: Calendars you have deleted "come back."   Or, calendars you did not create yourself show up in your calendars list, such as "Calendar" or "Home" or even "Untitled." Note that the problem seems to be most prevalent with calendars with names "Home," "Work," OR either of these words in the NAME of the calendar. For instance, "Bob's Work" might get snagged (it can't be deleted without coming back or its color is stuck and "comes back").
I spent a long time on the phone with a helpful Apple senior advanced specialist on this problem today. We conducted a very large number of "experiments". Our family has two iPads, 2 iPhones, and 2 iMacs, so it was easy to rule things in or out. I will present some information that may help.
SOME OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE GOING ON:
First, Apple has not resolved this. But the problem appears to be related to iCloud, and NOT to individual devices. After de-linking all of my individual devices from iCloud, I could change any of the colors or names at will on any given device, create new calendars and then change their colors to whatever I wish, delete calendars, change names...no problem. However, after re-linking calendars to iCloud, all the problems mentioned above returned. The chances that my iMacs, iPhones, and iPads are all causing the problem independently is very low. They also have slightly different OS versions on them, so it is not likely an a particular device OS, though that could be indirectly related. Also, the colors "change back" within about the same time (usually a few seconds to up to 30 seconds) that it takes to do a "refresh" (i.e. an update) to the iCloud servers. This when iCloud is turned on, and the absence of it when iCloud is turned off (for calendars), strongly suggests that it is the iCloud server and its interaction with your devices that the fundamental cause of the problem.
Apple has said that they are aware of this problem and their engineers are working on a fix. Historically, this can mean just a few days, or it could be a few months, years, or "whenever." They don't give estimates of when it will be fixed. Exactly WHY this is happening is unclear, but my guess is that it is a modification to the iCloud server code that Apple implemented without testing it thoroughly enough to discover this problem. Apple does not admit to that, of course and I don't know if I am correct.
A WORKAROUND SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME:
Please note this is a workaround and not a full fix. Apple needs to run a patch on their iCloud server code. Until then, I did the following which seems to have worked for me for now. Read the whole list before deciding whether to proceed. I don't guarantee it will work in all situations.
Note...I found I was stuck for now with the color of ONE of my calendars. If you are like me, you want to keep that one and work around it....
Backup first... Make sure that your iCloud copy of your calendar data has the calendar event information you want to save - even if the color is wrong. Log in at www.icloud.com and do a refresh to sync to the Cloud. Check over your calendars online to make sure the event data appears to be there for all of your calendars (even if their color or name is not what you want).
Steps:
1.     Go to every device that you have linked to iCloud separately. Go into Settings, iCloud, and then uncheck the "Calendars" option. This delinks your calendars for that device to iCloud. As you do this on each device, when prompted, select "Keep On My" ..iPAD...iPhone...iMac... etc. This will preserve the calendar information on the device so it won't be deleted. I think this is safer, but you can click on "Delete" if you want, too. Note - if one of your devices is an iMac, with OSX Lion and before, you may be forced (I was) to delete the iCloud calendars from the iMac. So again, make sure they are backed up to the Cloud first (or somewhere else).
3.     With the iCloud Calendars Option on all your devices still turned off, go to the WEB and log into iCloud.com. You need to figure our which calendar iCloud won't let you change the color for. You probably already know. On iCloud.com, click on "Calendars," then click open your calendar list and select "EDIT" at the bottom of the dialog box. One at a time, click on the color dots next to each calendar name and try to change the color (you can put any back after the test if you want). You will probably see a certain one that just goes right back to what you don't want. This is the one for which the color is stuck, but you may be able to change the name of it now that your devices are unlinked from iCloud.
4.     Still in iCloud.com, change the names and colors of any of the other calendars you wish to change. Delete any empty calendars that mysteriously appeared without your wanting them. Take note of all the calendars, names, and colors that are on the final list of calendars.
5.     On EVERY device, BEFORE turning iCloud back on on ANY of them: Change the colors and/or names of calendars, delete calendars, etc. so that the calendar names and colors on the device are exactly the same as what you left in iCloud.com in the last step.
6.   One at a time on each device, go back to Settings and then "iCloud" and check again the box for "Calendars." You will be asked whether you want to "MERGE" your data with iCloud. I selected MERGE to ensure I didn't lose anything. Link each device again into iCloud one at a time.
7. When each device is back, go back to iCloud on the Web, or go into iCAL on one of your devices. Set to view ALL calendars. Look for duplicates of some of your events. I found quite several as an artifact of "merging", but in my case it only took me about 5 minutes to go through quickly and delete the duplicates. It deleted the duplicates on all of the devices at once, so I only needed to delete dups on one device. I did not find that I lost any events as long as I kept one valid copy.
Again, no guarantees...hope this works for others. Good luck.

I'm getting the same thing and it's really bugging me! Keeps changing colour to one I do not want and I have tried everything to get it to stay the colour I have chosen!!

How can I find the URL for an iCal calendar in iCloud so I can make a link to it on a web page.

I have a single iCal calendar that I want people to access through my webpage. How can I find the URL so that they can view the calendar without having to subscribe to it. I converted to iCloud from .Mac and I can see that changes to this calendar are not showing up.

Mmmh.. i see... I don't know wether it is possible for people just check calendars without subscribing to them... I have been sharing some calendars in my website (maybe you can have a look at it in order to check wether it could be a possible solution for you)

How can I allow multiple users to edit a single shared iCal calendar?

Is it possible to allow multiple users to edit a single shared iCal calendar? I also want to provide different permissions to those users. Is this possible through .MAC? Is it possible on Mac OSX Server?

I would like 2 agenda synced through .Mac but it does not work.
I have 2 computers and 2 laptops. A very simple agenda with 3 calenders. Myself my partner and the office calender. I want to publish my calender and that of my partner. The office calender I would like to sync so that we can change the office calender at any location.
I set up sync only for iCall and have a .Mac account. When I change anything on any of the calenders in iCall nothing happens on any of my other locations. Even though the locations are registered as synced. I can see the sync wheel turning but at the end of it the calenders are not synced.
At this moment I fully understand the publish and unpublished calenders but have no clue what so ever what syncing does for iCall. There seems to be no functionality to it. It does not transport any calender info over .Mac. There is no visable check to see what is happening and the process of syncing is not transperent. Lots of my friends go to me for advise on Apple issues but as far as sync wether iCall or Addressbook I always tell them sync does not work and I have no clue why others have it working. I haven't met any people here in Holland either that got in working. I suppose with iCall you have to get third party software to share calenders editable calenders. Really hopeless situation, wish Apple would just have a manual stating what sync can do and what it can not. Hours wasted on this issue trying to get it to work.
Hope anyone here can help out.

I looked at http://help.teamsnap.com/?p=82
I wonder if you have to use outlook with the desktop manager now. Can you give teamsnap a call and ask for a recommendation?

Is there a way to copy an ical calendar and then re enter it in ical at a later date?

is there a way to copy an ical calendar and then re enter it in ical at a later date? i am trying to copy my workout calendar and move it forward but i want to keep the one from june july and august of this year. I guess techinically it is a recurring calendar but all the exercises recur at different intervals

If you want to share albums on dropbox or similar web services, set the album in your custom order and use the export command to a temporary folder on your computer. To keep the sort order, use the option to rename with a common starting text string plus an order number. Since you'll upload those files to Internet, also use the resizing feature to export in a reasonable size, not too big for uploading/downloading, and not too small if you want your relatives to able to print and not only to view.
So, you'll get a folder ready to upload and share via Dropbox or another Web service.
