ICal events To Dos calendars disappeared.

I dont know how to use time machine to get back to where i am. Time machine only shows finder to go back and the files finder shows are only those that can be used for importing one event at a time. I need all events back but cant find a way. Please help me. Any help is appreciated

I just examined the current "Calendars" folder in my /users/xxx/library folder. it has multiple xyz(i).calendar folders in it, each with a info.plist file. Each of the plist file corresponds to one Calendar, either you've created or you've subscribed to. Also in the xyz(i).calendar folder, there are Events folders. These seem to contain the events that we create. Now, i still dont understand why the iCal doesn't know what to do with all the Calendars sitting in the "Calendars" folder. Are they corrupted? Can i retrieve them?

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

ICal + Google Calendar: I can't see iCal events on Google Calendar...

Hi all
Two partners and myself have started a small business, and we need to be aware of each other's schedules in order to run it successfully, so we have decided to give Google Calendars a bash.
I've added my Google account to iCal so now when I add an event to Google Calendars it shows up in iCal, but not vice versa: in other words, if all my iCal events don't show up in Google Calendars.
I've researched the issues, follow all the steps, etc. but I still can't seem to fix this... Am I doing something wrong?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My understanding is that iCal will not send data to gCal. The forums suggest that the only way to do this at present is to hook up an iPhone to gCal, which does allow a two-way exchange. gCal then sends to iCal. To me, that means that you cannot make entries on your Mac iCal and have them replicated in gCal. So your Mac calendar is effectively 'read-only', and all entries have to be made on an iPhone or on gCal. I'm not sure, but I suspealso that the only way to get your Mac updated is via gCal; possibly synching phone to Mac via iTunes will result in duplicate entries.
As I understand gCal, you have to be online to access it, which is no good if you are on the road (or visiting your mother!). I'm not sure how MobileMe comes into this either; I'm still experimenting and either I get no calendars or multiple duplicate entries!

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

HELP!!! All my events, to dos, calendars are gone!

don't know what happened. Just opened up ical and the default ical opened up home and work calendars only....no events, no to do's, NOTHING. My life has vanished in front of me!
Any advise...I'm desparate
SB

I have also just experienced this problem two days ago. My wife and I publish perhaps 40 calandars between us with several thousand work and social events entered and they just all disappeared suddenly leaving me with "have a nice default work/home".
The two things that I think may have caused it are the time I hit the power off button to try to resolve vmWare's Windows XP emulator hanging (iCal was open at the time) (http://www.apple.com/business/mac_pc/applications.html), and my use of "iPhoto Buddy" (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/imaging_3d/iphotobuddy.html) which seems to swap whole iLife profiles in and out.
I've seen solutions to this problem that involve trashing various iCal /Library/ entries. These solutions presume I'm backed up to iMac and everything auto-reloads out of "synch services". I am backed up to box.net for free instead (http://systemsboy.blogspot.com/2006/06/publish-ical-calendars-on-internet-for.ht ml), so I didn't really loose anything. It's just a giant 2-hour pain to by-hand download it and hook it all back up again.
All of my iCal content seems to still be stored in the library, but the links to it have all been thrashed. I could fix it in five minutes if the plists were stored in plain English xml, but iCal has hashed them all with some seemingly random codes. Thanks heaps, Mr. Apple developer. What's the point of using XML if you're going to hash it back out of unicode/ascii like that?
What we need here is a simple terminal command to rebuild the link tables. Does anybody know if such a thing exists? I've got /Developer installed and I am not afraid to use it.

ICal events have duplicated, now disappearing in front of my very eyes? What's up

Yesterday I opened iCal on my MacBook Pro to find that all my events were duplicated; today, some of them are totally gone and some are disappearing in front of my very eyes. Today, there is a new calendar listed at the left for my .me account, a duplicate of my .mac account calendar. I just checked my iMac, and the calendar there appears to be fine, no duplication or loss of events. I've used mobile me since it was introduced, but now suddenly, it is a mess. I need it to accrate on my MacBook, my appointment and meeting schedules are gone! If I reenter them, they redisappear. I want to upgrade my MacBook to Snow Leopard, but from other support communities, I've read that after the install, iCal had these very problems. Anyone know what going on? What's up APPLE?

PHP can only be run from a server.
I looked up why this was happening and I found people saying I needed to enable php and Apache.
Correct.
I did the steps to enable it but Safari would still only open a .php file as html code.
The only way to run PHP in Safari is through the address bar.
I was also learning at the time about myslq

Well, I should have realized deleting things using terminal was extremely risky. I did it anyway, looking through more forums, learning about directories I needed to delete and how to delete them.
Which forums are those? Most of that information on the internet is out of date at best and often flat out wrong. In the future, it would be best to ask here on Apple Discussions.
Did this begin, and I'm sure it did, when I was so foolishly deleting directories by copying and pasting directions on forums on how to delete mysql?
No doubt. Don't feel too bad. I don't know of anyone who has used ever used UNIX and didn't delete their home directories at some point - or worse.
I don't just want to drag back the deleted apps one at a time, I want to get all of my mistakes off.
You can always boot from your install disk, use Disk Utility to erase your startup drive, then reinstall a factory-fresh OS. I do that every couple of years, when I get a new computer, or on a major OS upgrade. It helps to clean out a lot of junk.

Color coding of individual iCal events in ONE calendar

How do I request this in feedback on iCal?

Use the feedback page.
But logically, if you have colour codes for specific event types, those events should be in separate calendars.

How Can I Batch Separate iCal Events Into Separate Calendars?

iMac G4
10.4.11
Six months ago I transferred 21,000 calendar items from Chronos Personal Organizer 4.5.0 to iCal. Except for the snail crawl speed, I am very pleased with iCal. CPO operated very quickly with the same 21,000 calendar items. I hope to solve the poor-speed issue by purchasing a new Intel iMac later this year. Fingers crossed.
The transfer process deposited all 21,000 calendar items into a single calendar named "Kurt". Last week I renamed this calendar to "Kurt - Home". I created a new calendar that is named "Kurt - Work". I transferred all of my work specific calendar events from "Kurt - Home" to "Kurt - Work" for the past six months. I accomplished this by clicking on each calendar event, and then clicking on the calendar pulldown menu and selecting "Kurt - Work". Is there a way that I can select multiple calendar events simultaneously, and then transfer them to "Kurt - Work" in one click?
Thank you.

You need to sign into your iCloud account on your Mac, and check the Calendar option. System Preferences>iCloud, sign on your iCloud account, check the apps you want to sync with your device.
Cheers,

I can't sync my new mac iCal events with Yahoo Calendar

I just download an icalendar format file to my iCal account. The events show up under my yahoo account calendar, but the events are not synched with the yahoo calendar on the web, or on my iphone or ipad for that matter. Any ideas?

Sounds like you haven't updated your Sync account for the new version of Sync that was released with Firefox 29.
See this KB article - [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]

Problem Adding iCal Events Received via Email (used to work fine)

My wife and I share iCal calendar events between our Mac's via email. A month or so ago I started getting this error when clicking on the link that comes with the iCal event email:
"This calendar file is empty. No new events have been added to your iCal calendars."
We are both on Intel Powermacs running OS 10.4.11 and have the same version of iCal (2.0.5). I can still email her iCal events and she can add them to her calendar just fine. But anything she sends me gives me this error.
Help?

Travis,
I had the exact same problem (with my wife's iCal account to boot ). The solution lies in the "(null) informs you..." It turns out that iCal looks at your personal address card to figure out who you are when populating the email. So, if don't have the email address you are sending FROM listed under your address book entry, then the notice is from NULL.
I added my wife's email accounts to her address book entry on her machine (sorry for the bolds, but the details count.) Then I tried sending a calendar event from her iCal to me. This time it populated with her name and it added to my calendar just fine when I received the email.
I hope this solution works for you (it drove me crazy for about two weeks.)

Some iCal Subscription Calendars disappeared in iCal, but events still show up?

Hi there,
Here's my situation as simply as possible. I'm on Lion 10.7.4. Some iCal Subscription Calendars disappeared on my iMac iCal, but the events still show up.
1. On iCal on my iMac:
     - I have 10 subscription calendars, but now only 6 show up. --> (Herein lies the issue)
     - Events from the 4 missing calendars still show up.
2. iPhone:
     - has all 10 subscription calendars
     - has all events showing up
3. iPad:
    - has all 10 subscription calendars
     - has all events showing up
Does anyone know of an official workaround for this issue? What is the best approach to handling this issue?
thanks!

Exact same issue here. Individual events deleted from a recurring appointment continue to show up in Calendar (OS X 10.8.2). Same events do not show up on calendar if viewed via outlook from my desk PC or view outlook web app from anywhere.
Clearly a bug.

ICal event have disappeared after upgrading to Lion. Please help!

After upgrading to Lion, pre-existed calendar events (Newer ones) have disappeared. How can I recover?

Greetings Alex,
If you have a backup of your computer from before you upgraded then you can restore the data from your backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
--- Let us know if you have a backup and if so, what type it is and we can tell you how to restore your calendars.
--- If you don't have a backup, consider starting one following the article above ASAP. Anyone with information they care about on their computer should have a backup. It is a hard lesson that every computer user learns at least once.
If you do not have a backup from before you upgraded:
1. Make an iCal backup so you don't lose what you have currently: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove all files and folders that start with this phrase)
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove all files and folders that start with this phrase.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
---NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion:
4. Open iCal and see if the events you are looking for magically reappear.
If the events don't appear and you don't have a backup or have the events on another device like an iPhone or iPad then your only other option would be to use data recovery software or a data recovery company to try to get the data back (although it might be easier to just re-create the data as best you can).
Data Recovery software examples:
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/
http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_page=product_info&products _id=1
You can contact a local Apple Authorized Provider to see if they offer data recovery services: http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
There are many nationwide / worldwide data recovery companies out there. Here are a few examples:

Hope that helps and best of luck to you.

All events in my calendar has disappeared

All events in my calendar have disappeared?

Hi Chloe Mary,
Your issue with Calendar certainly sounds alarming - all the events disappearing would bother me too! There are a few things you might check to see if they can fix this.
First, are these event only local to the computer? If not, you may only have to reconnect to the server providing the calendar service in order to get them back. For example, if using iCloud for your calendar server you might use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
as well as -
iCloud: Advanced Calendar and iCal troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4337
That last article may also assist you if your calendar is strictly local to your device.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L
