Ical constantly losing events

iCal constantly loses events.  I have entered some events multiple times and now they are gone...Again.  I purchased MobileMe thinking the online calendar would keep dates.  But no, MobileMe shows no events either.  I haven't synced my phone in weeks, so it shouldn't be an update or syncing issue. 
I know other iPhone users having the same problem with dissappearing events.  What is the problem?

I can't begin to express my dissappointment and disgust with the total lack of response from Apple on the calendar issue.  The iCal is unstable at best.  There is no point in running a calendar application that doesn't actually retain the data.  I've had my Macbook for almost two years.  Love it..even with the adaptions I have to make in a Windows world.
But I'm about ready to chunck my iPhone.  I didn't realize I was buying a glorified toy.  Ready to go back to the Blackberry.  At least it knows how to retain data.

  • How can I move an event in ical to another calendar without ical resending the event invite to everyone

    I have 2 microsoft exchange calendars that I use for work. One is provided by my company, the other is provided by a customer that I do contract work for. The customer prefers to send invites to my email address provided to me by them. Which means that the invite appears on the exchange calendar provided to me by the customer.
    That's fine, but I would like for the event to appear on my work calendar so that I can get reminders on my iphone (long story short, the customer does not allow me to connect to their exchange server via my iphone due to security reasons).
    So, I go into iCal, open the event and change the calendar for the event. Unfortunately, that causes iCal to resend the invite to everyone involved in the event. This causes alot of confusion, obviously, as now everyone is wanting to know why I sent an invite for an event that is already scheduled.
    How can I move events to another calendar without iCal sending another invite to everyone?

    If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

  • Ical cannot create event in month view

    iCal cannot create event in month view. Is this a bug?
    I've tried double clicking in a day as I always did but nothing.

    Ko be,
    Application UI issues are in many cases, caused by a corrupt plist file.
    Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
    Also read Apple iCal 5 Office Software Review | Macworld for a description of Lion iCal.

  • The order of my ical 'all day' events changes when i go into print mode?

    The order of my ical 'all day' events changes when i go into print mode. What can i do to keep the order of events i so painstakingly created?

  • Some Ical all-day events automatically move to Jan 1 2000 (01/01/2000)

    I keep getting ical reminders for events bearing the date of Jan 01 2000. I checked such date in iCal and I noticed that I had over 30 events set for that date. Some are marked as "detached events" from recurring events set in 2006. What is going on??

    I have the exact same problem. I have entered birthdays for people I know starting with the year of their birth and never ending, an all-day event. They now don't show in 2007, but there is a detached event on January 1, 2000. When I delete that event and all subsequent versions of it, the initial event now ends in 2006 or 2007, and I have to set the repeat to end Never again. I fixed all the ones from February that showed up. Now I notice that a huge amount of the other birthdays (all day events) that I have entered are doing it now, and we are talking well over 40 of them. I don't understand why it keeps creating these detached events. I also publish my calendars, if that makes any difference.

  • Why iCal cancel of event edits issue is still not fixed after over 2 years?

    Why iCal "cancel of event edits" issue is still not fixed after over 2 years?
    I have been in the software engineering industry for over 14 years, but I have never seen a large corporation being so slow at addressing major issues like these.
    What would it take for Apple to start working on this issue?

    Yup. This is fully ridiculous that you can't cancel your updates once you start. I love the tool but this is on pretty significant issue.
    Sometimes I accidentally move a mtg or make some edit while viewing and you can't back you!!
    If you feel the same way, you should post a note here:

    Grrrrr.....makes me miss my stupid PC set up as I could force it to do what I want!
    Intermittent connection screws up Netflix, VOIP phone, Amazon, Streaming music via Spotify/Pandora, general internet access.....whole family is ****** off.
    Any tips/tricks/ideas???
    dave

    Downgrade firmware to 7.6.1 .. as the latest is just lousy.
    It is easy to downgrade.. hold down the option key whilst you click the version number. in Macs.. lots of stuff is hidden behind an option key.
    I also strongly recommend a factory reset and use all SMB names.. not apple type names..
    ie TC name.. TCgen4
    Wireless name TCwifi (or give names to both bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz).
    That helps all the non-apple part of the world.. connect.
    Also Mavericks has now changed over to SMB as well. So even Mac is now windows networking.
    Generally these two things. .7.6.1 firmware and SMB names will fix it.. if not post again as is another step that is possible.. controlling the WAN speed of the TC.

  • JDI losing events on VM exit

    Hello all,
    I have been writing a simple debugger application using the JDI architecture where i start the debugger, the debugger listens for a remore VM to attach, then the debugger monitors the remote VM until the remote VM exits.
    I have been tracing method entries, but the JDI seems to lose events when the remote VM ends program execution. If I put Thread.sleep(500) or something similar as the last statement in the remote VM app that is being debugged, it gives me all the method entry events. If not, it seems to drop a random number of the method events and just gives me the VMDIsconnectedEvent or whatever it was called.
    I guess this might be because the JDI implementation does not keep itself alive to fire off all the method events? Or maybe it is not this, I am just guessing.
    Any ideas how to avoid losing event? I could maybe add a shutdownhook with a thread.sleep, but that would require modifying the debugged app and I find that unacceptable..
    thanks for any help,

    I didn't face similar problems when worked with JDI, could you show that part of your application which listens events?

  • Why does ical rearrange my events when i print?!   10.9

    why does ical rearrange my events when i print?!
    I'm on a macbook pro running the latest version of 10.9
    Everything is organized the way I like it, but once I go to print, it rearranges the order of my events!
    How do I fix this?
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem a few weeks ago and called apple support.  The solution is as follows:
    Most apple users have multiple devices using icloud such as an iPdad, iPhone, and other computers.  In my case, I had two computers, two iPads, and one iPhone.   After speaking to apple support, I realized that one of my ipad's setting were set to delete events older then 2 weeks.   In short, if you are expeirienceing problems with ical deleteing events, you better check all your devices.  If just one of them is set wrong in your preferences, you will lose past events.   Even check computers you gave to your cildren or other members of the family.  You will probably find out that the settings on one of these machines is causing your problems.

  • P2/MXF Footage in Premiere Pro CS6 constantly losing its linkage.

    P2/MXF Footage in CS6 constantly losing its linkage.  I'll relink the clips as the 'locate footage' box pops up, then a couple of minutes later, all the clips in the bin are showing the question mark and asking me to locate the clips again. It does this over and over.  This happens on both my desktop machine and on my laptop.
    Not having this problem with any of the file types at this point.

    Just saw an official reply on another similar question asked at the same time as mine and that Adobe is aware of it and it's being worked on. 
    Thanks.

  • It says iCal will default events with no end time to one hour..and mine used to..but since I upgraded to Lion it doesn't.  Any suggestions as to how I can get it to default events to one hour?

    My iCal used to default to one hour when I posted an event with a start time and no end time.  The user guide says it will default to one hour.  Since I started using OS Lion, my calendar doesn't do that.  Can anyone suggest a way for me to get the calendar to default to one hour again?  Thanks.

    Dana,
    Here are some iCal data entry tips from iCal Help:
    Enter a name, date, and time duration for the event, and then press Return.
    For example, you can enter “Super Bowl Party Feb 5,” “Movie with Rebecca on Friday at 7pm,” “Soccer Game on Saturday from 11am-1pm,” or “Breakfast with Jon,” and then press Return.
    If you don’t enter a time duration for the event, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour.
    If you don’t enter any time information for the event, iCal makes the event an all-day event.
    If you enter “breakfast” or “morning,” iCal sets the event to start at 9 a.m.
    If you enter “lunch “ or “noon,” iCal sets the event to start at 12 p.m.
    If you enter “dinner” or “night,” iCal sets the event to start at 8 p.m.

  • ICal randomly duplicating events

    iCal randomly duplicated events (sometimes twice, other 3 times) after the last sync of my iPhone. I've had, & continue to have this problem with repeating holidays which were transfered from my Palm but now I've got countless duplicate "normal" events over at least the last 6 months. In the past iCal has duped events & simultaneously change the dupe's time slightly but this time they are direct copies. I just finished correcting them manually. For future problems is there any way to automatically remove duplicates? More importantly, is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

    Hi John,
    Thanks for the information, sorry for the delay in my response -went out of town for a few days. iCal Dupe Deleter sounds seems to be just what the doctor ordered to remedy this situation next time it occurs.
    As to my second question, do you, or anyone out there know why this happens or how to avoid it in the future?
