Ical events missing

Post ios7 install on both iPhone 5 and mini iPad I have since lost all entries for the past year...what to do?

I mean look at how crazy this is (from the MobileMe calendar web view). The 15th appears twice and every date after it is on the wrong day of the week. If I view November, it goes back to normal.

New ical events missing

After i upgraded to X10.5, i can't save any new events in iCal. I enter all the required info, then quit iCal. When i open it again, the new events are missing. I have deleted all plists and still no change. Thanks!

asuming that the calendar you have entered the event in is selected, that you have the right time zone on your computer and on ical, try the following: create an event, write down the name, exit and re-launch ical, then assuming the event is still not showing up, then do a search on the event's name, any luck in finding it?

ICal events missing and wrong

I use iCal on my Mac and Calendar on my iPhone all synced with MobileMe CalDav. I have a lot of recurring events. Everything looks fine until October 2011. Almost the entire month is blank in iCal on the Mac. I know there should be events during the whole month (something almost every day). When I look at the web version on MobileMe, the events are there, but starting on or about October 15, they are all shifted to the next day. So, my normal 8-5 M-F job looks like a Tuesday through Saturday job. The iPhone matches the web view on MobileMe. The same thing is happening to my wife's calendar, which is set up the same way. The strange thing is that by November, it is all back to normal. I have the time zone set to Brasilia time on MobileMe and in iCal and the only thing that I can think of is a bizarre Daylight Savings Time bug (DST starts this year in Brazil on Oct. 16). Strange that it would affect the whole month on iCal, only part of the month on MobileMe. I am unable to add an event on October 16 from any device, which is too bad as that is my wife's due date and I would like to note it. The event moves to the 15th. If I switch to Day view in iCal and start in early October, the events appear, but it won't let me move past October 15. iCal will crash.
Any ideas?

ICal events missing from iMac

I have a iMac, a MacbookPro, iPad3, and iPhone 5, all 4 have iCal on them subscribed to the same MS Exchange feed. The MacbookPro, iPad3, and iPhone 5all sync fine. But on the iMac, it drops some events - typically group meetings where there are several attendees and an invitation has initiated the meeting. But it is not consistent b/c some group meetings show up fine. It doesn't seem to matter if it is an event I initiated or if the invite came from someone else and I accepted. Both are equally likely to show up or not show up.
The only difference I can see is the iMac is running iCal 6.0 (1648) and my MacBookPro is running iCal 5.0.3 (1605.4). Did something get broken in 6.0?

ICal events are missing Day and Month in date

Hello, Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere - this is such a weird fault I was not sure how to search for it.
My iCal events are missing the Day and Month in their start and end dates - it just shows a 4 digit year which can only be edited as a 4 digit number. All my events are in their correct places but I am unable to create new multiday events.
This applies to old and new events alike. I tried trashing my iCal prefs file but it made no difference.
Anyone any ideas? I am using iCal 3.0.8 on Leopard 10.5.8.
Thanks in advance.

Worked it out - I was using a custom date format to give me day and date in the menu bar - reverting to one of the standard built in 'British' works - but then I lose my day in the menu bar....

Missing Ical events after change of apple id

Recently, I changed my apple id's email address and all my ical event were all missing. How can I retrieve it?

Well, I went into "manage your name, ID and email addresses" > " Apple ID and Primary email address" > "edit my email"
Those were the only steps I took. Then I noticed all my ical events for year 2013 were missing on both my iphone and the icloud account that I just went to check out online on my macbook.
Events from 2012 were not affected..
I have not delete the icloud account from my phone/ add the new email..

ICal events duplicated, missing in iPhoto calendar

It's that time of year again, when I make my annual calendar. Only this year it isn't going smoothly.
When I go to the calendar settings and choose which iCal events I want, I'm getting all sorts of strange behavior.
Items from two calendars for the same day won't both appear on the calendar. I want to add a July 4 birthday, but I can get either Independence Day or the birthday, not both.
As I added calendars, sometimes events already listed became duplicated or triplicated (not with US Holidays, but other calendars).
Is anyone else having this problem and more importantly, does any one have a solution.
Calendar ordering time is fast upon us. One of the things that makes an iPhoto calendar worth the extra bucks is that it has all the dates I want on it. Help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Those are bugs that need to be reported to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
Not much we can do about it.

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!

ICal events being deleted when syncing with Palm Zire 21

I have been syncing my Palm Zire 21 with iCal successfully for over a year with few problems. A few weeks ago I noticed that almost, but not all of the events on both the Palm device and iCal more than three months old were gone. Then, a few weeks later, I noticed that the events suddenly were all back in the iCal application, but not on the Palm device.
But this week, I used HotSync (as usual) to sync iCal and the Palm device, and the events were gone again. Now I am wondering what on Earth I am doing to cause this. I have read the articles about setting up to sync. I double-checked to be sure I have been syncing the way that is outlined in the instructions in the help articles.
I must have missed something vital. I have been backing up my iCal to my .Mac account using Backup. I am thinking that I can restore the iCal events using my last backup. Can I? And how do I keep this from happening again?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) "OS10.4.10" "iSync 2.4" "iCal 2.0.5" "Hotsync 3.1"

Found the issue for me. The events are not deleted, but filtered in the standard calendar view. The iPhone shows everything as it should. Outlook 2003 has all the events to as seen when going to categories view.
It seems that once events pass on the iPhone and then a sync via iTunes to Outlook 2003 the "All Day Event" field is removed from the calendar entry.
Creating another Day/Week/Month View in outlook 2003 that has a filter to only include calendar entries where the "All Day Event" field "does not exist" will allow viewing the "hidden" past events.
Hopefully this will be fixed VERY SOON.

Ical events deleted

I just got my first macbook the other day and hooked up my phone to it. I noticed my ical events were not coming up on the computer and when I looked at the calendar on my phone the events were all gone. I have not had the chance to set up time machine or anything since I had just gotten the computer and did not even have anything on it yet but there's gotta be a way to get the events back, please help! Thanks

I am in the middle of something like this, tho I use Mobile Me. Suddenly, all my calendars were colored blue and many of my events were missing.
Thanks to another post, I found the backup calendars on my TM: my user library > calendars (this is a folder). I don't know whether they moved it there with Leopard or Snow Leopard, but if that folder isn't there, try: user library > application support > ical The other post mentioned using the Sources folder.
Oddly, I'd like to get rid of my old events. Do you know how to do that?

Scripting iCal Events

As part of a school project, my students gather weather data when a specific NASA satellite passes over our school. We have to keep an eye on the schedule we receive and collect our data. Every once in a while we forget and miss an overpass. I decided to enter the satellite overpasses as iCal events and have an alarm sound to remind us. This tedious task of entering the events sounds like a great job for AppleScript. This AppleScript project is a little over my head because I don't understand insides of iCal and AppleScripting.
The satellite schedule comes as text in an email and looks like this:
Date & Time | Satellite Position
Mo Day Year Local UT | view sat azm relative solar sat. position sat
Time | zenith fr. N azimuth zenith lat. long dir
Local Time = UT + (-6.0)
9 16 2008 12:19 18 19 | 6.46 104.44 51.37 40.32 39.94 249.13 des
9 17 2008 13:02 19 02 | 54.05 289.85 117.31 38.45 42.22 239.04 des
9 18 2008 12:07 18 07 | 27.40 102.13 49.98 42.00 39.43 252.03 des
9 19 2008 12:50 18 50 | 42.63 287.75 119.55 39.58 41.48 241.85 des
9 20 2008 11:55 17 55 | 43.58 99.08 49.57 43.80 39.09 254.98 des
The only important info for our observations is the Mo, Day, Year and UT time — the other satellite info is not relevant to our observations.
How would I write a AppleScript that would strip away the unimportant info and create a different event each time for the satellite overpass? The iCal event would need to start 15 minutes before and end 15 minutes after the UT time given.
TIA

Here is some sample code.
-- Code starts here --
property tFile : "HD01:Users:dev_sleidy:Desktop:SatelitePasses.txt" -- Location of Satellite information file.
property tCalendar : "Satellite" -- Name of 'iCal' 'Calendar'.
set tText to paragraphs 5 through -1 of (read file tFile) -- Obtain specific lines (paragraphs) of Satellite information file data.
set {oASTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, " "} -- Configure delimiter.
tell application "iCal" -- Focus on 'iCal' commands.
tell calendar tCalendar -- Focus within the 'tCalendar' calendar.
repeat with i in tText -- Cycle through the obtain paragraphs of data.
tell i to set {tMonth, tDay, tYear, tTime, uHour, uMinute} to {first text item as number, second text item as number, third text item as number, fourth text item, fifth text item, sixth text item} -- Obtain specific information from within a paragraaph.
-- Create a new 'date' based on obtained Satellite data.
set tDate to (((tYear as string) & "-" & my handle_Number(tMonth)) & "-" & my handle_Number(tDay)) & "T" & tTime as «class isot» as date
-- Create a new 'iCal' event, including 'display alarm' setting.
set tEvent to make new event at end with properties {start date:tDate, end date:tDate, description:(uHour & "." & uMinute & " UTC")}
tell tEvent to make new display alarm at end with properties {trigger interval:-15}
end repeat
end tell
end tell
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oASTID -- Reset delimiter.
on handle_Number(lNumber) -- Manage single digit date values.
if (lNumber < 10) then set lNumber to "0" & lNumber
return (lNumber as string)
end handle_Number
-- Code ends here --
You may have to edit the code, as per the delimiters you use / set within 'System Preferences' 'International's 'Formats' 'Dates' and 'Times' configuration panels.

ICal event reminder bug causes alarm to be repeated every hour

Hi,
I'm running 10.7.3 on an iMac.
In the last fortnight (nothing with the OS or settings has been changed) the iCal event reminders incorrectly trigger every hour for the same event. This is occuring for every event reminder, even if the settings are for a single alarm or email the day before. To make things worse I've had to delete the events with one-off email notifications as my inbox was getting full!
The events themselves are not duplicated, and the alarms not set to be recurring.
I have an icloud calendar, two exchange calendars, and two calendars all being sync'd between my iMac, two macbook pro's, and iPhone and iPad. Have had these all set for ages with no problems.
I've called apple support enough times in the past to have already checked the system privilages but unfortunately this has not resolved the problem.
I would turn off all the event alarms but a few of the calendars are shared across different sites and keep us all on the same page (occasionally also the events have been created by others).
Suggestions would be much appreciated
Isaac

Totally missed it, duh! Thanks. Will try again.

What determines if an iCal event on CalDAV calendar is editable?

We are using iCal3 to link to a CalDAV calendar store. This allows us to also access the calendar store from other things - such as web based calendar interface and other CalDAV aware calendars.
We've found that events created or edited in other applications / via the web are not always editable when viewed in iCal3. Rather than seeing the 'edit' and 'done' buttons on the Get Info screen, they just show 'Done'. The event remains editable in the other applications / via the web.
Presumably the event is missing some XML tag to say that it can be edited. Any idea what it is? Any idea what can be done to tell iCal to edit these events? Right now all it is doing is encouraging us to use the other applications for our Calendar access in preference to iCal...
Thanks in advance for any insights etc.

Surprise Surprise!
I realized after heavy testing, that a DTSTAMP: is not needed.
But there is apparently a problem with the DATE-TIME format: Perhaps for other readers, which are in such a desparate situation, as I am since two days now!!! here some explanations:
The reference about iCal format you find in RFC 5546
DTSTART; and DTEND; have a time string like follows:
yyyymmddThhmmss
In the middle the big letter "T". But you have to add the time zone: for me it is the following:
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T062500
Now the big surprise: this time format with an hour over 12 ooops! I tested now once again like follows
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T212500
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T202500
changing the hh (hours) with one hour difference up until here. 10 Minutes again, iCal was freezing with hours over 19. I swear!
Ok to answer my original question: What is the minimal format of an iCal event, which you may attach to an email:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T212500
SUMMARY:Name
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20120608T202500
LOCATION:MUC
SEQUENCE:0
BEGIN:VALARM
TRIGGER:-PT1H
DESCRIPTION:Event reminder
ACTION:DISPLAY
END:VALARM
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
But be aware, that this is buggy. Be carefull and have a nice evening

All-day iCal events made on iPhone sync to Mac as one day late.

Had this problem a little while now, can't remember what started it, but it hasn't always been like this. I remember first being aware of it near the end of last year because I wondered if the problem might correct itself once 2011 began.
If I create an all-day event on the iPhone calendar, it will sync to the mac's iCal as being one day later. If I enter an event on my phone that's all day, Saturday the 5th of March, it will show up on my computer as Sunday the 6th.
Events which are not "all-day" are completely unaffected.
Both devices are set to the same time zone, with the iPhone having timezone support on and the mac having timezone support off. I've toyed with trying different combinations of these settings but nothing changes. I have to manually drag the mac iCal events one day earlier once they're synced. This fixes it, because it doesn't appear to then bump the iPhone copy of the event any earlier.
But that's a massive pain and I've lost faith in iCal as a timekeeping device. Anything glaringly obvious that I've missed?

I have this problem too. I have an iPhone 4, and this wasn't a problem when I bought the phone back in December. I think it came a month or so later and I suspect with a standard upgrade of something like itunes, or iphone software... but I can't pinpoint it to any specific update as it took me a while to notice it. For me, it does this with my work calendar which is run through Microsoft Outlook. But it's the exact same thing - and it means my calendar isn't reliable anymore.
I've made sure the time-zone settings are correct, I've updated all software, and gone through all possible settings for both my i-phone and Outlook. Nothing fixes the problem, even our tech guy at work didn't know what to do. I know it's not just my phone as the exact same thing has happened with my boss's iPhone which is an iPhone 3G, and it frustrates him to no end.
I'm really hoping someone at apple can tell us what's going on, especially since it never used to do this and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it. If someone thinks they know what itunes update this was due to, let me know - I'll see if I can go back to that older version.

Not receiving email notifications of iCal event invitations from other parties.

I am not receiving emails for iCal event invitations from other parties, but the invitations ARE in my iCal Inbox. I don't use iCal often, so I never proactively go in to check my Inbox there, but rather have always depended on receiving the email notification of an event invite to know to add it to my iCal. I can SEND invitations to others successfully with other parties receiving MY email notifications, I'm just not receiving them via email.
I've now missed two very important meetings because I never received the email invitations to add an event, which were the only forms of correspondence for both. Can anyone help me? Thank you!
