ICal in 10.5.2 find events failure

I have the latest version of iCal and 10.5.2.
I cannot get the search events function (top right hand corner) to work at all. It used to work partially with the first version of Leopard. It now never works, even with new events.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is, and, how to sort out this issue?

Sabur,
Run Disk Utility from your Mac OS X installation disk:
• Insert the Mac OS X Leopard Install disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
• When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
• Click the First Aid tab.
• Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
• Select your Mac OS X volume.
• Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
If that is not successful, download and reinstall the Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update.

  • Why can't I find events by name in iCal after upgrade to Lion?

    I just upgraded to Lion on my MacBook Pro and have moved to iCloud. Now iCal (version 5.0.1) no longer allows me to find events by typing the event name in the search bar. This is frustrating. Has anyone else had this problem, or am I overlooking something simple? (I have checked iCal help and read how one is supposed to be able to find events, but nothing seems to work.)

    Do you see the folder if you are using the system navigator instead of the application navigator in JDeveloper?
    Check your project properties->content and sub nodes to make sure the TopLink directory is included in the project.

  • Can't add a new event to iCal on my iMac - but the event sync's to my iPad - is this a Lion problem? iCloud is on.

    Can't add a NEW EVENT to my iCal on my iMac- however the event is sync'd to my iPad with no problem. iCloud is turned on for iCal. Is this a Lion problem or something turned pff. I cannot find an answer. Help?

    William,
    It is a possibility that you are adding new events to your "On My Mac" calendars.
    "On My Mac" calendars will not sync with iCloud. After backing up the "On My Mac" calendars, and ensuring that all events are duplicated on your iCloud calendars you can delete any "On My Mac" calendars.
    For further troubleshooting advice read iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

  • ICal How do I enter an event without it being a quick event?

    In iCal, when trying to add an event, I click on "File" then "New Event".   A "quick even" box open which I find difficutl to use.   Under iCloud calender in Safari, a "New Event" opens a boxt with details that are useful.   Is there a way to create an even in iCal with detailed information to input?

    Hi JeffcNick!
    Try the steps listed in this article:
    Mac Basics: Calendar keeps your appointments
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5978
    Schedule an event on a calendar
    Calendar lets you add events in multiple ways:
    Double-click anywhere on the calendar to add an event at that time. The Inspector window that appears allows you to add invitees, set a time, location and more.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • ICal is not showing some past events since I upgraded to Lion.

    iCal is not showing some past events since I upgraded to Lion. I can find the past events in mail but if I click and open them, they are not showing up on the calendar. Advice? I am trying to recreate my schedule from past meetings.

    I love computers.
    Have managed to fix this already. Been working the issue for a few days now, and a few minutes after writing the above post I decided to reset the Time Capsule to factory default settings.
    After entering all my details again (used same network names, passwords etc) the Time Capsule was rebooted. When it came back on line - guess what? Yep, the MyBook WD drive is now visibile. I can connect via the network from my other machines to the drive, and iTunes is back.
    So - thought I would post my resolution in case it helps others.

  • When I enter an event in iCal, soon thereafter multiple other "New Event" notices (one to four) appear for the same day. If I delete these unwanted "New Event" notices, they later reappear -- sometimes multiplying like rabbits. Any suggestions?

    Well, using iMovie to rearrange clips in a mini DV video edited by another program is extremely time consuming. I found a workaround. It still takes time, but it's much faster than rearranging the clips using iMovie.
    The workaround is as follows. Bring up Finder and go to the directory where your event's clips are stored (typically ~/Movies/iMovie Events/<name of event>). It helps to setup Finder to be in Cover Flow mode, so you can see the beginning of each clip. Then, sort the files in ascending order by the 'Date Modified' field. This makes Finder sort the files in the same order that they were imported from the mini DV tape. Clips with timecodes have the naming convention "clip-<year>-<month>-<day> hour;minute;second.dv". Clips without timecodes use another naming convention. With the files sorted by "Date Modified" in Finder, rename clips as needed so that the date/time in their file names are in ascending order. Note: when you rename a file, you need to restart iMovie. I suggest not running iMovie while renaming files.
    I believe the file date/timestamp is only accurate to the second. Occasionally, there may be a couple of clips that have the same date/timestamp. This may cause the ordering to not be correct. The best way to find these is through iMovie. To modify a file's date/time, right click on the clip in the event in iMovie, and then select "Adjust Clip Date and Time...".
    So, this workaround is a lot easier and faster than trying to rearrange things from scratch in iMovie. But it's still time consuming. Creating a project out of an already edited video should take less than 5 minutes (not counting import time), but that's not the case.
    I submitted an enhancement request to Apple asking if they can add an option to sort an event's clips in the order that they were imported by iMovie. Those who have the same issue as me, I suggest you submit an enhancement request as well.
    Anyone have any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • In iCal how do i set an event every 3 months

    In iCal how do i set an event every 3 months.

    Sk8trdad,
    I presume that your question relates to the Calendar App on the iPad.
    You have to use the "repeat>Custom" setting on the Desktop version of iCal.

  • 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.

  • Can't find Events in the Leopard upgraded iphotos?

    I just installed Leopard but I don't think it installed my iphoto properly. It still says I have version 6 when I click on about iphoto. Is this normal? I can't find Events either which is one of the new features on iphotos. Anyone else had this problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Installing Leopard does not upgrade the iLife application becuase they are not part of a system upgrade disk. Therefore you still have the same iLife versions that you had with Tiger. You either have to purchase a iLife disk or a new computer to get iLife 08.
    Happy Holidays
    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.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How do you date and time stamp iCal entries?  We share an event calendar and need to know when a new event was entered into iCal.

    BKBK,
    Thank you for your response. That does adequately cover the
    client-originated sessions, but still leaves the ability I am
    looking for unavailable.
    It did serve to definitively answer my most pressing
    question, however, with this statement:
    Note: ColdFusion cannot create a session if an initiator
    application uses a SendGatewayMessage method to start an
    interaction with a client, such as an SMS user. In this case, the
    sending code must keep track (for example, in a database) of the
    messages it sends and their destinations. When a response event
    arrives, it can look up the origniatorID to determine whether it
    was in response to an outgoing message.
    I will play around with the Application scope to see if there
    might be a workable solution there.

  • ICal Sync- Not showing location of event

    Hello, my first ipod is becoming a nuisance. I want to be able to see more detail of the calendar events sent from ical or entourage for that matter. On the ipod each event shows up with the summary, date and time. No other information is shown. I need the location of these events. They are shown clearly on ical and entourage. Is this a limitation to the calendar on the ipod or am I doing something wrong? I have synced the calendar with iTunes and exported the file from ical into appropriate folder on the ipod. Both ways do not work.
    Any help will be welcome.

    David,
    If I am understanding you correctly then your first issue is that while a person's birthdate can be an event in iCal and shows up as an event in the iPod calendar after you sync, if you pull up the person's contact information on the iPod it does not show the birthdate, even if you have manually added birthdate as a custom field in Address Book. That may be an iPod limitation. The iPod contact display includes names, addresses, phone numbers, web address, and notes. That's about it I think, although I haven't dissected it much. What I personally have always done is put birthdate in the notes. However, if iTunes sync treats custom fields in AB the same way it handles meeting locations, then the custom fields MAY be being passed to the iPod, they are just being ignored. If so, then it probably wouldn't be too difficult to write a Perl script to copy the birthdates into the notes field so that they show up on the iPod. That might be useful to folks, so I'll look into it.
    The second issue you describe is AB's import ignoring the birthdate field that you have in your tab-delimited Filemaker Pro output file. If that doesn't work my only guess would be that it is because birthdate is not a standard field in Address Book. This may be a limitation of the import that would affect other non-standard fields as well, like Nickname or Maiden Name. I'm afraid I haven't played with the import though, so I do not know for certain.

  • When I launch my iCal it keeps "adding a new event" over and over

    When I launch my iCal it keeps "adding a new event" over and over and over. It never lets me actually get into the iCal aplication? is there a way I can clear and reset mt iCal calender?

    Greetings William,
    1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    --- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard.  You will see "Library" in the menu.
    --- 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.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps.
