Ical erased all events

My small office got into work today to find that all of our Mobile Me calendar events had been erased, and a new calendar called 'Calendarq' was created. Any help on recovering? No one used Time Machine.

Just found all of the events in my outlook, but iCal will not let me import them, even after exporting from outlook. any ideas?

  • Search iCal for all events in a specific calendar?

    Is it possible to search for all events that I have listed in a specific calendar? For example, I have one set up as "guests" and would like to see a list of all the events I have under that. I tried doing an ical search for guests, but nothing came up, as that's only the calendar's title.
    Thank you.

    I thought I was the only klutz who seemed to remember I used to be able to do this, but couldn't figure it out now. This is the second key feature for me (the other being the event info drawer) that's been dropped in iCal 3.0. I'm not sure if the development team is just basically misguided, or if Apple's excuse in the summer about putting off Leopard because programming talents were stretched too thin was, and still is, exactly what's happening.
    So disappointing.

  • ICal erased all my iPhone created events!!

    When I synced my iPhone with iCal it deleted all my events from my phone. Everything from my Mac is still there, but anything I had put in by hand on the phone is now gone. any ideas what's going on?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only restore them from a backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
    Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

  • ICal erases all my appointments more than 3 months old.

    Ho w can i fix this? I do not have the delete feature in ical on.
    Wow, thanks for the quick responses! Unfortunately in my iCal preferences non of my "delete" boxes are ticked :-(

    ginakins,
    Check iCal>Preferences...>Advanced>Uncheck "Delete events xx days after they have passed."

  • Opened ical and all my events were erased and all my calendar accounts were gone and it will not allow me to add new events or new accounts

    I opened my ical and all my events had been erased and all my claendar accounts were gone and it will not allow me to add new events or accounts.

    Hi John,
    Thanks so much for wading in. I did exactly what you suggested - glad you gave me the hint about how to access my library files. There was only one document that seemed to have anything to do with cache, and that was called Calendar Cache. (I've attached a screen capture of all the files incase I should have deleted something else as well.) I deleted Calendar Cache then restarted iCal, but after updating I was still unable to add new events.
    Is there anything else you can suggest?
    Thanks again,
    Susan

  • How can I erase all phantom iCal data from my iPhone/Flat Panel Mac?

    Tried many ideas and Apple Genius could not even help me. Here is the scoop...
    I created an iCloud account then synched my iPhone to my Flat Panel. Suddenly my iPhone showed up to six duplicates of iCal events (often a week or two later than the actual event). My Flat Panel iCal showed no such events. I erased all data and settings from the iPhone, restarted it from scratch (both from a back-up and as a new iPhone). As soon as I synch it to the Flat Panel the multiple events reappear on the iPhone but still not on the Flat Panel. I checked the "replace all calendar info" box in iTunes before synching. I deleted my iCloud account. I tried synching my old 1st gen iPod to teh Flat Panel, and the iCal info there is correct. I erased the iPhone and started over by starting it up/synching with my Macbook Air. The iCal info is now correct on my iPhone. How can I go back to synching on my Flat Panel? Where is the phantom info hiding on the Flat Panel?
    Thanks for helping me with this strange problem!
    John

    Ohnj,
    I presume that you are no longer trying to use iCloud for syncing with the "Flat Panel." It will not work since you are using OS X 10.5.8.
    Quit iCal, go to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder and remove any/all files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Then log out/in or restart and see what happens.

  • ICal ALL Events Gone PLEASE HELP

    Hello... Need urgent help! One afternoon I was finishing up work and closed everything as normal... in the morning, ALL the events on iCal were gone... just disappeared. I have a blackberry 8350i and figured there was a mishap between the two so I brought a 12" I also have only to find out that all the events there were gone too; and I never sync the BB with the 12". Both PB's were synched with my iPhone without any problems ever. Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks in advanced.

    Hey Ferd,
    So you think there is something corrupted in the BB that made the iCal erase the whole 09? One thing is for sure, the data in the BB is intact. All events there seem to be fine and yet it won´t sync with iCal (I use PocketMac because when this BB came out there was no other option to sync with mac). In fact, I've been trying to sync with a PC but I haven't had the time to seat down to spend a whole afternoon trying to figure out Win Vista... so far "I think" I managed to backup the calendar and contacts but not really sure. Still trying to find an app to sync with... maybe that way I can make a backup to use with iCal. Do you know of any other way to sync the BB with another app in either mac or pc to do this???
    I have a time machine backup from june 29th which I used this morning. I boot from the Leopard dvd and restore from that date but didn´t remember that the applications were on the exception list. One thing, though, when the restore was finished, iCal displayed the reminder window with a bunch of the events... but since I had no apps i couldn´t say if everything was there. My intention, now that I think of it, is to go back to that backup, find the iCal software somewhere and install it to see what´s in there. If there´s everything, needless to say I´ll just make a backup, save it and restore again to the latest.
    I was trying to restore from .ics files but just realize they have to be .icbu... hence the gray.
    Right now I'm downloading the Combo Update to see how it goes.

  • ICal has lost all events after upgrade to 10.8.3.

    iCal has lost all events and calendars except for birthdays after upgrade to 10.8.3. If I sync to my iPhone, will it wipe them from the phone, or will it get the events from the phone?
    I have Time Machine working, but am unsure how to restore calendars from it.
    PLEASE HELP.   

    Not sure why you think having to re-authorize would indicate an incompatibility or problem with their software unless you meant you have to keep re-authorizing the plugin?
    Some plugins need re-authorization when you change a certain file or files in your system.. or if the file structure itself changes.. or the drive is renamed for example.. It could simply be that IK used a different form of authorization routine to their other plugins or versions of their plugins, with Amplitude 2.... Nothing to do with an incompatibility...or problems.
    Anyhow I am happy you got the matter resolved and yes, random bursts of white noise is a classic sign of a plugin running in demo mode and needing authorization or re-authorisation as I suspected in your case.

  • 1st ical sync with iphone...all events off by 2 hours

    Why? All ical events got transferred to my iphone but the time is off by 2 hours...all iphone events are showing up 2 hours later than when I originally scheduled them in my iMac ical program (the ical events on my iMac are still displaying at the correct time)
    Also, on my iphone, my 5 different ical calendars all synced, and all have a different color next to them, but the colors do not match the colors for the calendars created in ical on my iMac (ex: I created my dissertation calendar in red on my iMac but it shows up as orange on my iphone; I created my travel calendar in green on my iMac but it shows up as blue on my iphone, etc).
    Does anyone know why this happened and how to correct?
    Thanks!

    Hey that worked! I was unaware of that setting on my iphone. Actually, I left time zone support turned on, but set the time zone for Denver (I'm on mountain time) instead of the Washington, DC zone it was set for.
    As far as the colors being off, we'll see if anyone else comes along with an idea for that one. (Too bad there's no setting to turn on for "keep the calendar colors the same!")
    In the meantime, THANKS!

  • ICal for iPhone. View all events as a list without having to type into the earth box.

    iCal for iPhone. View all events as a list without having to type into the earth box.
    On the previous software version I used to be able to view all my calendar events as a list by clicking on the magnifying glass. Now you have to type into the search dialog box for a list to populate. This is very frustrating and annoying because I much prefer the list format to populate everything unless I specify what I am looking for into the search box. Is there a way to view all the events as a list without having to type anything into the search box?

    And you are aware of the possible options for listing the months and having an optional export value for each month.
    For listing the months, you can use a number, a 3 character string, or the full name.
    For the export value, the full name, the 3 character value, the 1-2 number, or the 0-11 JavaScript value.
    I would look at deciding how you want to populate the drop down box and build a one page form with just this field. You can then insert that page into a PDF and copy the field as needed and then delete the inserted page. Or you could create an FDF file to create the drop down box.

  • ICal not displaying all events in Month view, leaving unused blank space

    I think this is a bug or bad programming of iCal:
    In the month view, I have for example a day with 5 or 6 events. When I change the size of the global iCal window, the size of each day is of course changing, displaying more or less of the events on that day; and displaying "..." when additional events exist but can not be shown. This is all fine... and normal...
    However, I noticed that iCal is simply not making use of the whole space: when my day is bog enough to display all events, iCal is still only displaying half of them, and the "...".
    This is really a pity as the white space is there.
    Anybody observed the same behavior?

    Hey, thank you.
    But how do I change the font and its size?
    I tried....
    Thanks,
    Janos
