ICal Events Disappear - When I option-copy?

Hi,
I am using iCal at work, along with TimeLog (http://timelog.com/). I am also subscribing to other staff members' iCals. We use it like a timesheet, to see how much time we spend on different projects, so every minute of the day while we're at work has to be filled up.
Anyway, I usually option-drag (copy) events into new days so that I don't have to always make a new event. This seems like it should be fine. Unlike most of the apps I use, iCal doesn't have a save feature (right?), so I wasn't worried about it. But today I opened it and all kinds of events are missing. The most I can figure out is that it seems to be the duplicates, the ones that I option-dragged to copy. Anyone make any sense of that?
Thanks a lot,
Ariel.

Same problem here. I just imported everything from my old MacBook to my new one using Time Machine. My events appear in the Month view but not in the Week or Day views. So I went back to my old MacBook, created an iCal backup file, and emailed it to myself. Opened it on the new machine, restored from the backup file, and . . . same thing!
Very strange!! I need my daily events to be visible. Any help out there?

Some iCal events disappear when in week view

Hello all,
I recently had a double agenda booking. Today I found out why:
In week view some iCal events disappear... When i switch to month view, they reappear.
So, depending on the view i have open time slots. Not very reliable.
Anyone know what i can do to return to solid bookings again?
Best regards
Fred

My Ical events disappeared how do I restore with time machine/mountain lion?

I recently installed mountain lion. Today my ICal events disappeared and I can't restore them with time machine. What happened? How do I fix it?

Did you try rebuilding the library's database file as follows: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Upgraded to 10.6.3 and ical most ical events disappeared.

Hello,
I've just upgraded to 10.6.3 from 10.4.11 and most of my ical events have disappeared. It has kept a handful but as I rely heavily on ical for my day to day tasks and diary this is a disaster!
All help gratefully received.

bessp,
...Before upgrading, I manually backed-up to a lacie
If you still have the original backup, you can find the Tiger .ics files in the ~Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources Folder on the lacie.
Open the Sources Folder to reveal Alpha Numeric named folders. These folders contain corestorage.ics files which represent the individual calendars on your Tiger system. The corestoreage.ics files can be copied to the Leopard computer. When the corestorage.ics files are opened on the Leopard computer you will be offered to import them. If you do that be sure to select the option to make a new calendar for each one of the .ics files.
...Can I trash the cache file and .plist from my desktop?
Yes.
Be sure to log off MobileMe before replacing any calendars, and log on after replacement. When you log back in, you should be informed that this computer has never been synced with MobileMe, and you will be offered to replace the data on MobileMe. That would appear to me to be appropriate since MobileMe apparently no longer contains accurate data.
It may also be beneficial for you to use "Chat" on MobileMe Support. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/ >Syncing with MobileMe>Troubleshooting MobileMe Sync issues>"Chat Now."
Good Luck.

Notes in iCal events disappear

I've had trouble with notes within iCal events, as well as the parameters for repeating events and catagories, disappearing for no apparent reason from my Mac, iPad or iPhone (the phone seems to be the most frequent culprit). They all sync with each other, and regardless of which device I use to enter the event note, random ones will just vanish. Has anyone else encountered this? I use these event notes for accounting purposes, as I book clients with iCal. It's rather inconvenient when they're suddenly not there anymore. Thanks!

I sync iCal between multiple iMacs, a MacBook, an iPhone, and an iPad and I have the same problem. Any thoughts/feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Ical events disappearing on OSX Lion

I actually have three issues, and these appear to be quite common issues with OSX Lion users:
1. When I receive email calendar invitations (attachments come in as .ics) I can open the .ics file, accept the event and it goes into iCal for about 5 seconds, then disappears. This only happens on invitations that are sent to me. Events I creat are stable, no issues.
2. The time zone is way off. The events are most frequently coming from an outlook server in my same timezone but the times are usually about 7 to 8 hours later in iCal than stated in the .ics attachment. If I send an acceptance, the time that goes back to the inviter is the incorrect (7 to 8 hours later) time and it causes confusion.
What's worse is once the iCal invite disappears and I go back to their email invite to re-populate iCal with the invite, it queues up another "Accept / Maybe / Decline" response. Time is still incorrect.
Any thoughts on how to fix these issues for good?
I am using gmail as my main calendar so it syncs with my phone calendar. I am not using MobileMe. I have an iPad 2 and have the same issues with the iPad OS.

All iCal Events Disappeared

Hi
All of my ICal events just disappeared before my eyes! Basically I had a physio appointment this morning, went there and booked for teh same time next week. So I copied my existing event, and pasted it on the next Friday.
At that point, all events just vanished! I clicked undo, shut Ical down, rebooted, but none of those things bought it back.
I have them on my iphone, but I fear syncing will lose them.
Help!

Yes, my entire calendar from March on back to the beginning of time suddenly disappeared. From May forward it's still OK.

All iCal events disappeared beyond 90 days ago

I just noticed that all of my events—except for repeating ones—have disappeared from my iCal calendar, from August 28th backwards. In other words, I have everything still for the past 3 months, just the stuff before that is gone.
Since I've got MobileMe and an iPhone, I checked those, too, and same deal: everything except repeating events (birthdays, weekly and monthly custom stuff) is gone.
I've no idea what happened. I don't have any iCal setting set to delete past events.
Since I have Time Capsule set up, I'm wondering if there's a way to go back and grab the iCal calendar before all events and appointments got deleted. I'm positive it's in TC, just don't know how to get it, and yet not erase the stuff that's been added since.
Any ideas?

Mike, Thanks for posting. I'd done a search for this issue and nothing came up, so I appreciate you linking back to that thread.
For anyone following this, that other long thread doesn't have any solutions other than Mike's post. So I'll copy his solution here:
"I have got my old calendar data back into MobileMe without downgrading by:
1.Restore ~/Library/Calendars from Time Machine (use "replace" option). This adds all the events Including (all the earlier ones) into "on my mac" calendars. So if you have both the "MobileMe" and the "On my Mac" calendars ticked then the recent events are duplicated. You could stop here and leave the "on my mac" ones unticked unless you wanted to see the history. I went on to......
2.Export each calendar from "on my mac", and import each to the corresponding MobileMe calendar.
3.Manually remove the duplicates for recent events."
I'll add my own two cents: I wasn't sure how far back to go in Time Machine, because I completely forgot which day (or month) I'd upgraded the MobileMe Calendar. In fact, I tried about 4 dates, and then checking to see if the old calendar (on my mac) was back. Each time, it wasn't, so I kept going further back in Time Machine (finally until August 1, 2010). Weirdly, it still wasn't back.
But then I noticed an interesting file inside of (home)/Library/Calendars, called Cache. There were actually a couple of them. I wondered if it acted similar to Safari's cache, in that it kept things just like they were an hour ago. So, I deleted all of the cache files, and boom, all of the events were back.
Strangely, all of the events and to-dos I'd added since August were also still in the calendar. I've no idea how it did that, since I thought I completely replaced the contents of the Library/Calendar folder.
Some other tips:
1. before doing anything, backup your Calendar (File: Export: iCal Archive) just in case you need to redo the whole thing.
2. Back up the current Library/Calendar folder. Probably the same thing as doing the above Archive, but I'm not that smart so I did this as well.
3. Sign out of Mobile Me (System Prefs: MobileMe: Account: Sign Out), so that MM doesn't try to overwrite your good work.
4. Quit iCal before working with Time Machine.
5. Before working with Time Machine, I took screen shots of each month (in Month View) for the last few months. This was in case the backup would delete all of the stuff I'd added since the date I was backing up from. As noted above for reasons I can't figure out, the old Calendar kept all my new stuff from the last few months, so I didn't end up needing the screen shots. Still, I'd suggest doing it!
As Mike noted, there were some duplicates. I couldn't see any pattern to the dupes, but they were mainly birthdays, repeating tasks, and a few multi-day events. Not a big deal.

All my previous events disappear when I import new photos into iphoto?

Each time I import photos from my Canon digital camera into my iphoto, the new import is the only event that shows. I can't access any menues or events in iphoto; when I open iphoto from the dock, only my most recent event opens. To import photos from my camera, I open iphoto, connect the USB cord to my camera and the USB port on my computer, and click import. The next time I open my iphoto, nothing is there except my last import. When this happened a few weeks ago, I looked at the discussions and found out how to rebuild the library, which I did, but I can't do that every time I import photos. What is happening? What is wrong with my iphoto?

It sounds like you have a damaged database.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
As to why you have repeated corruption - Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

Ical events disappeared after BB Sync

My wife and boss use Mobile Me on their Macs to keep the bosses calendar. For some strange reason today when my wife synced her blackberry to her Mac it erased several events from the ical on her Mac that had been previously scheduled in ical and synced corretly to her blackberry.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for the quick reply.
To check the default calendar service book: Options>Advanced Options>Default Services, and it should be set to the email address you want to sync with.
As well since the calendar on the BlackBerry has 2 different record numbers, you will need to merge these to make sure the sync is back to normal.
Follow these instructions to merge the calendar: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB19240
After this is done, try performing the synchronization.

ICal events disappear only in Day and Week views

Using iCal 3.0.2, I have suddenly acquired a new behavior. Several "subscribed" calendars appear fine in Month view, but their events do not appear in Day or Week view.
I have deleted Caches > com.Apple.iCal and I have deleted Libraries > Calendars > Calendar Cache. Neither has had any effect. I also tried deleting Preferences > com.Apple.iCal.
Any ideas on how to be able to see these events in the Day or Week views?
Thanks very much,
Gus

Still no date headings when my calendar is views in the Day and Week views. All of my appointments are there. The days of the month appear in Month view. But when I change to week or day, I don't know what day I'm looking at because there are no dates. Only "2010" appears in the upper left.
Any ideas? I couldn't be the only one this has happened to!
Thanks, Wendy

ICal events disappeared (not linked to MobileMe or iCloud)

Hello,
I run iCal 4.0.4 with MacOSX 10.6.8.
I recently noted that all events before 6 May 2011 have disappeared and I don't know why.
The preferences are not set with the 'Delete events ?? days after they have passed' (the box is not ticked).
I did a test yesterday looking if the events where disappearing but that is not the case, so this morning events after the 6 May 2011 still there.
My iCal is not linked to ModileMe or iCloud in any way.
Where are the events before 6 May have gone? Can I retrieve them? Would events continue to disappear?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

You need to ensure that each device (including the MBP) is using iCal from iCloud (NOT a local version of iCal). Using the MBP as an example, click on the Calendars icon in the upper left corner and look for something similar to the following:
If it does not say ICLOUD at the top, there's your problem. Post back and we'll go from there.

ID3 Tags disappears when MP3 is copied

Can anyone help me with this? This problem only recently started after I upgraded. I'm using iTunes 7.0.2 Mac and when I import a regular CD it finds the ID3 tag info and imports fine. However, when i copy the MP3 files to another computer (my computer at work) the song plays fine but all the tag info is gone. This never happened before. Isn't the tag info saved in the MP3 file? What should I do to fix this?

I found a solution. Personally I think there's a bug with iTunes 7.0.2 (at least on my machine) whereby iTunes adds tag information to the library when ripping a CD but doesnt save it to the newly created mp3 file. So when you copy the mp3 file it shows up on another computer with no tag info.
I tried different things but what worked was to go to the computer that ripped the CD and that showed the tag info and select the Advanced pull-down menu and "Convert ID3 tags". I chose version 2.3. I did that to all the mp3s and iTunes saved the tag info to the file because after doing that I can now see the tag info when the mp3 file is copied to another machine.
I selected all the mp3s in my library and did the same thing just in case.
Perhaps the next upgrade will fix this bug.

IPhoto Events disappeared when doing a Backup

I copied my entire iPhoto library to a folder on my desktop . I then dragged the folder to my external LaCie harddrive. Although the photos copied to the LaCie, the Events in my iPhoto libary are gone.
39 Events for almost 5000 photos.
How can I retrieve my Events? Thank You.

After making a Time Machine automatic back up of my G5 to a LaCie harddisk I also lost al my events in IPhoto. It's the first auto back up since installing IPhoto9. Photo mode now shows all 20.000 pics in one single event. All the preferences in IPhoto are set oke as far as I know.
Anybody there with the solution?
