ICal content disappeared but shows up on MobileMe and iPhone

Hi!
I wanted to post a "question" and the "answer" because I've spent a couple of days on forums and testing and trying and restoring and ... well you get the picture. Here were my symptoms:
I have a MobileMe account. (ALL calendar data could be seen)
I have a personal iMac. (NO calendar data could be seen)
I have a work iMac. (NO calendar data could be seen)
I have an iPhone. (ALL calendar data could be seen)
I'm using MobileMe services and syncing all data between all four devices. (not to mention my wife's iphone)
*THE PROBLEM:*
The problem was that for some unknown reason both of my iCal applications at work and at home suddenly disappeared. No data could be seen in either one. I figured something went wrong with a sync and I would just check my iPhone and MobileMe site to make sure all data was still there. YES all data was there - WHEW! Now, I would just manually sync my data and transfer all data from cloud replacing computer iCal data. No problem. I received no errors, clicked on iCal - nothing. Again-all data on iPhone remained nothing showed up on my work or personal iMacs. Confused, I decided to call up Apple's support for iPhones. I spoke (texted) with Michael M somewhere in Canada (very nice gentleman - did a wonderful job walking me through over an hours worth of ideas) but to no avail. We finally decided that I needed to use my Time Machine backup to get iCal to a "working" condition and upload all data to the cloud replacing everything from that scenario. This also did not work. Something got corrupted somewhere.
*THE SOLUTION:*
I closed iCal and marched on over to Users/myuser/Library/Calendars/
and moved (didn't delete yet 'cause I was scared) EVERY folder into a "new folder" on my desktop. I then reopened iCal and WALLA - it began syncing immediately. Everything finally showed up. I sure hope this helps someone out there. If you would like a transcript of what me and the iPhone/iCal tech tried - I would be more than happy to forward that info on to you. My e-mail is jdunk(at)mac.com.

Hey Timothy,
So there is two Contacts icons on the iPhone?
The iPhone 2.0 software adds a Contacts application to the iPhone.
Try restoring the iPhone.

You can also try downloading the application in iTunes and then syncing it to the iPhone.

Time in iCal are US (EST) but sync to MobileMe and iPhone as UK (GMT)

Time in iCal are US (EST) but sync to MobileMe and iPhone as UK (GMT). How can I correct this? I thought I had changed all my settings after I got back from the UK.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Sorry, I re-read this and realized that my explanation of the problem may not have been clear. (I need to get more sleep)
When I add a new event into iCal on my Mac it shows up at 1:45pm EST. When the event syncs via MobileMe it shows up as 6:45pm (18:45) on my iPhone and in MobileMe online. How can I get the events to shows up at the correct time (1:45pm) on my iPhone and online?
Thanks

I tried to submit my podcast but showed difficulty in downloading and later showed already submitted please help!

If your podcast was submitted but rejected for any reason then the automated part of the submissions process will give you that error despite the rejection - I assume it's a bug. The workaround is to change the title slightly.
But if they had difficulty downloading (what? - the feed, or the episodes - didn't they say) then you have a technical problem you need to address. Obviously I can't advise any further unless you care to post your feed URL.

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

I have seral email accounts on my Mac. One does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

No. If it states designed for both iPad and iPhone, then it won't run on an iPod touch.

Help! Event content disappears, but still remains in Finder package

Hi guys,
I'm totally stumped here. It seems FCP 10.1.1 has some sort of bug that makes content disappear. Here is what has been happening:
I upgraded back when 10.1 was released, and everything seemed fine. Around 10.1.1 I decided I wanted to move some things around. So I would click on an event inside of a Library, and I would drag it into another Library. Sometimes it would work great. Sometimes FCP would freeze, beachball, and fail. Sometimes I would leave it for 30 minutes or so just in case it was just doing something. I would eventually have to Force Quit.
The problem? The events that were to be moved didn't show up in the libraries they were supposed to go to. Not in FCP, and not in the Finder. Instead, they stayed where they were coming from. In FCP, these events no longer had any content in them. Also, they lost the purple star that would be next to events. If I went to that same event inside of the Library (Show Package Contents) ALL content was there. All the clips, the transcodes, the originals...everything. Yet, FCP wouldn't "see" it or display it.
I thought I had a workaround - copy the original files in those events to the desktop, then reimport them into a new event. Well, that does work IF it was an event that was waiting to be edited. But if it was mid-edit, of course, now all I have is the original clips, but no access to the project or edits.
And now, it seems to just "happen." I will quit FCP and then relaunch it again when I need it, and I will see another event or two in a library has lost its purple star and no longer has content in it! No idea why or what's causing it. I'm on a new Mac Pro, plenty of RAM (64GB), plenty of space, etc.
Additionally, when I quit FCP it's normally because the browser window stops updating. What I mean is, I am clicking around between events or libraries looking for clips to add to a project. Then, at some point (and this is random, haven't seen a patterns of it always occurring on any particular event) the browser gets "stuck" on an event. I can click on another event and it will be highlighted as active, but the browser window is still displaying the last event I was in. It isn't frozen, as I can still scroll, look at the clips, etc. At this point, no matter what other event I click on, I am "stuck" with the event browser displaying the contents of that event. So, then I have to quit the app and restart it...and I might find that another event has randomly lost all of its clips and projects.
Again - in the Finder if I go into the Library package and look in that event folder, EVERYTHING is still in there, nearly organized in the folder structure - yet there is nothing I can do (that I know of) to get FCP to see and display it.
Totally lost now, and scared to keep firing up FCP for fear or losing even more work...but yet, I have to because this is my job! Any help?

This kind of problem seems to indicate that somehow the changes you made were not correctly registered in the library's database. This is stored inside the library in a file with .flexolibrary extension.
A possible solution is to force FCP X to rebuild it. This method has worked on several occasions, but of course there is no guarantee. You may want to make a copy of the affected library before attempting the following.
Locate the library in the Finder (control-click, Reveal in Finder);
Quit FCP X;
(At this point, you may want to make a duplicate of the library, just in case)
Control-click the library and "Show Package Contents"
Locate the .flexolibrary file and drag it out of the library
Restart FCP X.
If all goes well, FCP X will reconstruct the database from the contents of the library package.

I am unable to delete music from my iPhone5 either directly or via PC. On the iPhone the tracks disappear but the phone remains full and the data is still visible on the PC. I am unable to manipulate the data in any way on the PC.

I am unable to delete music from my iPhone5 either directly or via PC. On the iPhone the tracks disappear when swiping left and deleting but the phone remains full and the data is still visible on the PC. The music was installed on the phone from the backup of a previous model but with the addition of new tracks I am now unable to add more or update to the next operating system as the phone is full. On my PC the music is still there and but the neither the delete function or any form of sorting/management on the music files is functional. Other Apple products work OK including previous phone, ipad.ipods etc Any advice/help available to get past this would be appreciated.

I think it is 7.1.1 - there was another update today which I've uploaded but it didn't make any difference. It's just the music libary on the 5 that's causing me problems.

Shared calendars are showing up on iPad and iPhone but not on iCloud or her new MacbookAir, any suggestions?

I just got my wife a Macbook air, and cannot figure out why our shared calendars work with both of our Ipads and Iphones, on my icloud account but not her account or her new air.

Levi G B ... Also found another thread by Davidfromsurfside on 10/14/11 0703A with the same problem. I responded on his thread "I have the same problem. IOS5 on iPad1, iPad2 and iPhone4S all with iCloud on. Lion 10.7.2 installed on my MacBookPro and iCloud set up/on. Any new iCal entry on either iPad or on the iPhone ends up via iCloud on both iPads and iPhone. BUT NOT ON THE MacBookPro. And iCal entry on the MacBookPro does NOT GET SENT to iCloud.com or to either iPad or the iPhone. This is a huge problem for me because I do all my office scheduling on the iPad or iPhone but rely on the MakeBookPro to print out daily client lists. I REALLY need to get this fixed...it is causing major business issues. " No one so far has had a fix.... :(

Apple TV2 Just Disappeared from Remote app on iPad and iPhone after latest Remote app update

I Have used Remote app on my iPad and iPhones to control my ATV1, ATV2, and ATV3 for years. After the latest Remote app update ATV2 has disappeared from tRemote, and I can no longer find a way to connect it. Any advice about this?

Brilliant. Restarting did the job, and all is well. Since I have recommended this to others with other ATV problems, I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try it myself at the outset, and would probably have come around to trying it later, but you saved me some time. Thanks.

Why does iCal look different on iPad than on Macbook and iPhone?

Is there a way to get my calendar in my macbook and iPhone to have the same visual interface as the calendar on my iPad? Is there certain software I need to download? I just don't like the format of the iCal on my my computer and iPhone, and finally they have a good format but only for one of my products.

I have no answers for you on this one, but I agree. I enjoy the layout on my ipad, but it seems that iCal is falling behind in its formatting. With a new iLife out there, and OSX Lion out in the open, you'd think they could make the interface a whole lot better on MacBook if they are offering it on iPad.

HT4191 My notes disappeared from both my iPad mini and iPhone.

One note from the notes app were deleted from my ipad mini and iphone 4s. I opened up my ipad mini notes app and was looking at the note and all of a sudden it disappeared. I checked other mail accounts and looked on my iphone, but it was also gone from there. My other notes were there but the one i was looking for was gone. I used the search key for it also. Please help!

If it is gone, it is gone.

MobileMe and iPhone conflict?

Since I got an iPhone, now Mobileme on my MacPro says pswd and ID are invalid...I set up phone first, but still no luck..and changed pswd and ID several times..and my account is current, so now I can't publish my websites. Any ideas how to fix this or do I need to upgrade OSX? Any advice appreciated.

Your iPhone has nothing to do with your MobileMe account, so I would suggest that it is a MobileMe problem.
iPhones can't use MMe anyway, so it should not affect it.
