Ical event details time different that display time

For some odd reason the event details of any event on any of my ical calendars comes in one hour earlier than the time listed as the start time "today", "list", "day" or "month" listing of events. Only when I go to the event details of any given particular event do I see it listed as having a start and end time exactly one hour before the time the time given in any other part of the ical software. huh? I've gone through all the drama of time zone shifts and timei zone support, so I don't think that is the issue. This is a just the difference between it saying my meeting starts at 3 (which it does) everyone except on the detail for that particular meeting which shows it starting at 2. uhg. Can someone help?
Thanks

Welcome to the forums, Leslie. Do you mean in Month view? I haven't found a way to show end time in Month view, but it shows automatically in Day and Week views.

Found iCal events in Time Machine. Now Lion only allowing me to import one event at a time.

Upgrade my macbook pro over the weekend to Snow Leopard and then Lion.   I lost all my the majority of my iCal events.   Went to Apple store and they said that was rare and not sure how to restore my last back up from Time Machine on an external drive.   I've been spending hours trying to go through a bunch of threads on different MAC formums.
So I finally found my iCal events in Time Machine.   When I try to import these events, I am only allowed to highlight/import one event at a time.   This will take me forever to import years of missing data.   I basically have been using my iCal to journal for my 3 small daughters - first tooth, hair cut, etc.   So I am desperate to get these events back so I can get them printed and SAFE.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to import my ics files?   The Apple Store Genius had me tryng to import the corestorage.ics files.   2 or 3 of those files showed they were trying to be imported for over 4 hours.   I finally Forced Quit iCal.   I've tried this several times and same result.
The corestorage files were under user/library/application support/ical/sources
I now located the calendar events user/library/calendars/ then a bunch of coded files leading to the events. These events appear to be the ones I am looking for as I can read some of the files.   I have several years I want to import back into my working iCal.
Please help if you know how!!!
Thank you,
Very Upset Mama of 3 little girls

Thomas - You are awesome - THANK YOU!
I did exactly what you said (CAN"T believe an Apple Genius did not know this) and I think all of my events got restored.
However, it duplicated all of the calendars - I have 6 (one for each family member plus an extra called home that we all have to do).   Not sure if I did something wrong, but do you have any ideas?
Also, the time setting must be wrong b/c I have events from 2008 showing up in 2012 - same day and time as the old sessoin - just out dated.    Do I need to manually change all of this?   Should I delete the Calendars folder again and try again?
Also, I read some where about deleting a iCal cache file.   Do I need to do this?
I TRULY appreciate you taking the time to help people in this forum.   I have spent hours the past two days trying to figure this out.   Plus, now I need to figure out about upgrading my Office for Mac b/c I didn't realize I lost Office 2004 when upgrading to Lion.
Thank you for your time and support!

Restoring iCal Events from Time Machine

Hi
I read a few threads that were related to my question, but it was more from moving over files from different versions of the operating software. Here is my dilemma:
Somehow I erased all my iCal events. They were syncing with Entourage. I went into iCal because I had some duplicates and deleted event duplicates, when I did that I somehow deleted all my events. I do have time machine and have a back up of iCal. I restored the program from Time Machine, but the events are not back. I suspect that I need to restore the actual files that must be kept in a database somewhere?
Will someone please tell me how to restore the actual events and where exactly I can find the iCal events data. My plan is that once I restore iCal I will export and import into Entourage.
I really do not want to lose all my events. Thank you in advance for your help!

HELP! Please.
I am a new iMac user. For weeks, the system ran perfect. This morning, I tried to synch my iCal with Google Calendar to let others have access to my events. Somehow, after the sync, all events at my iCal suddenly disappeared. Not just that, the list of calendars (private, business, etc.) was gone too. I then tried to synch iCal with all the events stored in my iPhone, but that only lead to my iPhone calendar being completely deleted too. I am totally desparate now. What happened? I then tried to use Time Machine to restore. But in earlier time machine dates, there was no calendar folder which I could use to replace mine. But I could not find a calendar folder there. Thank you for helping. Kind regards from Munich, Germany.

ICal events and time zone change

Has anyone scoped out what happens to iCal events when your MBP moves between time zones and automatically changes the date and time settings? In general, I'd like my calendar events to be fixed at the time in the time zone where they are supposed to occur, and not where the MBP is, but of course I'd like the MBP to be telling me the time where it actually is. I don't think iCal does it this way, but I'm not sure how it handles time differences. Anybody know?

In iCal preferences, there is a check box for "turn on time zone support." If you leave it unchecked, iCal will automatically adjust to your current time zone and move the events forward/back by the appropriate number of hours. If you check "turn on time zone support" a drop-down menu will appear at the upper right of the iCal page allowing you to select the time zone you wish to view. In this mode, iCal does not automatically move the events unless you select a new time zone manually. Does that make sense?

ICal event detail..

Hi,
In the old ical version (pre-leopard), there was a drawer or window, with event details.
It had the time, notification, attendee's, etc.
I know you can now get event details by double clicking on the event but I liked the old style better. It was quick, easy and always visible.
Is there a way to have that drawer or window, turned back on ??
Thanks,
B

B,
Is there a way to have that drawer or window, turned back on ??
Search Discussions with the term info drawer, and you will see plenty of evidence that it is not (currently) possible with the Leopard version of iCal.

ICal event detail in tool tip?

Is there some way to display a tool tip showing event details by hovering over an event with the mouse? Is there a plug in or something that can add this feature?

That's a really cool feature request... that would be really handy for me, too. I don't think that is possible, but here's an idea which might be "good enough" for you. Everybody on these boards knows that I love BusyCal (which is an iCal replacement that syncs with iCal)... BusyCal has an "info panel" that you can set to always show, sort of like the "info panel" in iPhoto. With this info panel showing, all you have to do is click once on the event, and the details will immediately show up in the info panel. Not quite the same as hovering over an event, but at least it's only one click instead of 2 clicks.

ICal Event Details

When entering iCal events or when looking at events that were previously entered, the dates that appear are correct, but the day of the week is always Saturday, regardless of the event's actual date. How can I fix this problem so that the correct day of the week appears my events ?

Not quite sure what you mean by "details", but after touching Edit for the event, touch the lines with the name and location and a cursor shows with the keyboard to edit those.
Note that you won't be able to edit Exchange synced calendars.
Also note that "iCal" is the OS X app. The iOS app on your iPhone is "Calendar."

Restore specific deleted iCal events from time machine

Hi,
I had put some events into iCal on my iPhone in early August. My Calendar syncs with an exchange server. The events were at first in all the calendars that were attached to the exchange account. Now some of these events are gone or updates to the events are gone. I was wondering if I could only restore these missing events from the time machine? I have an iMac 27" from 2012 with a time machine attached to it.
Thanks

Sorry but albums can not be restored - and you can not select them in the show package contents display - albums are simply entries in the iPhoto database and have no physical presence
Additionally showing package contents and entering the iPhoto library is extremely dangerous and a tiny user error can destroy the library and cause dataloss -- it is strongly recommended to never go into the inside of the iPhoto library and there never is a reason t do so
What you are doing is restoring the originals from an event losing any modifications and any metadata editing
And you are breaking a cardinal rule by making changes to the content of the iPhoto library using something other than iPhoto which will not work - photos muct be imported into iPhoto, not saved into its database
But the biggest problem with the OP's plan is that Time Machine is NOT an archival system but a backup system and eventually it will remove the oldest files so sooner or later the OP would lose their photos that had not been restored
LN
Agreed to a large extent, but I don't have anything in the Modified folder to try.
My albums appear in originals as folders. But as you say, they are the raw imports.
As to the wisdom of the procedure; it worked, and I was slightly surprised it did from within a package, but i accept your overall premise.

Ical events wrong times

I have finally a reason to start using ical but i am having nothing but issues.
For instance today i got an email stating a meeting from 11.00 to 14.30
I select it as its blue and create event pops up, it shows in that pop up box the correct start and end time.
However in ical its been put in between 6.00 am to 9.30am fully four hours earlier.
My time zone is correct, and the reality is i need to trust this software, and its not filling me with confindence.
Any ideas?

You may have already checked this but there are 2 places that you need to make sure you have the time zone set. The first is the time zone for the clock on the iPad (Settings>General>Date & Time>Time Zone) and the second is (Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Time Zone Support). If one of these is set incorrectly it can lead to what you are seeing.
Good Luck

Restore ical events WITHOUT time machine

So I just got my new iphone and was trying to link it to icloud, the problem is that my macbook air is not linked to icloud. So when I tried to setup icloud on my macbook, it erased all my calender events on my macbook.
I don't have time machine. Is there anyway to get those calender events back?
Please Help!

HT201250 Is there any way to do a search iCal events in Time Machine backups using keywords?

Is there any way to actually look at what was in my iCal calendar, in calendar view, at the point in time of one of my previous backups?
And if not, is there any way to search the iCal backup files to find the ones with certain entries?
For example, I wanted to find all entries starting with Dr C, but the way the calender entries are listed in each "Events" folder they don't appear to be searchable. And scrolling through them is very cumbersome, especially since the calendars are identified by numbers, not names...
Any help that makes this easier will be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

The only way to do that would be to restore the whole Calendar database from a snapshot taken on that day.

Help creating an iCal event workflow

I'm trying to create a workflow where I run & a window pops up so I can add the details & then it adds the details to iCal.
I was trying to use the 'New iCal Events' action which when run display a window where you can enter the details, but it won't work properly for me. If I run it from Automator the details I enter are added correctly to iCal, but if I run it from the workflow I saved (as an app) the details I enter don't get transferred to iCal.
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

don't hope too much. automator bugs haven't received high priority in the past. you might want to look for a workaround using apple script.

Changing iCal event fonts

I am using iCal events to populate a calendar. I am also using US holidays. Is there an easy way to set the iCal events to a different font/size/boldness? I have a lot of events, and when they are mixed in with the holidays it is hard to distinguish between the two.
Thanks for any assistance you might give.

GateGuy:
The only way I've been able to mix fonts is to create the text (font, size, color and justification) in another a application and then cut and paste.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Ical events not displaying correct time zone

Hi All,
I have a weird issue and I'm not sure if it's an iCal or an entourage problem. When one of our Entourage2008 (exchange) users sends a meeting invite to a user in a different time zone using ical, the meeting shows in ical as the time the entourage user who created it, aka not adjusting for the time zone. Entourage to outlook calendar or another entourage calendar works fine, and iCal to iCal works fine; just not Entourage to iCal. Also, a calendar event from the iCal user to the Entourage user does adjust correctly for the time zone difference, which is why i'm exactly sure where the problem lies. I did post in the mactopia forums too so please don't yell at me for posting an 'entourage' problem in a mac forum. any help anyone could provide would be appreciated.
Thank you.
i'm on 10.5.7 with the latest updates for mac os x and the latest office for mac updates, and we are running off a hosted exchange server. we've experienced the same issue whether we have iCalis ("turn on time support") option enabled in iCal or not enabled.

It's annoying as it should not be this complicated. I've implemented a work around, but it's not ideal. I have entourage running but not open, and have sync services set to sync with ical. A new invite comes into mac mail, the user clicks on the ics file (which opens entourage calendar), accepts the meeting, and closes the entourage window. The correct time is in entourage calendar, and then syncs with ical and the meeting has the correct time for that time zone.
If anyone has found a real fix for this problem, please let me know.
Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one Jim.

My problem is that my iCal won't sync from my first-generation iPad to my computer, and the computer sends events multiple times back to the iPad... which is now full of duplicate events. I'm NOT on iCloud.

I'm just an old lady who doesn't know a lot about this stuff, but I do love my iPad and miss my portable calendar! My problem is that my iCal won't sync from my (first-generation, cheaper of the two models) iPad to my computer, and the computer sends events multiple times back to the iPad... which is now full of duplicate events. I'm NOT on iCloud. I've had this problem for nearly a year now. My Really Really Smart son couldn't fix it for me.

Can take some time.... how much time?
There's no simple answer to that. My calendar goes back to 2004 and is moderately busy; it took around an hour. It's possible that you've hit a slow period on the server - it happens.
In order for it to work, your calendars should show on the MobileMe site, they should be listed under your MobileMe login name in the calendar list in iCal (calendars listed under 'On My Mac' will not sync) and your MM account details have to be entered in iCal Preferences>Accounts (this should have happened by itself).
If it's not working please see the page I linked to.
