ICal Randomly moving events - BAD

I have a good friend who just missed a flight by a day because iCal keeps automatically & randomly moving events on her iCal.
iCal is current and up to date. She doesn't use MobileMe to Sync. She does have an iPhone but Syncs manually only once in awhile. She's on Leopard.
She does fly around a lot and is constantly changing time-zones & thus she changes the time on her computer a lot.
"For instance - if I type something for Monday while in Chicago - and then when I go to Delhi - it is listed as Tuesday because of the time diff?
But I cannot imagine why it would not flop back when I returned to Chicago - and most of my travel during the i-cal changes has been domestic - which has no more than a 3 hour time change"

I have exactly the same problem!!
It drives me nuts. I create an event, maybe move it around once or twice, then iCal keeps moving for me.
I try quitting and restarting, refreshing all calendars etc... but no luck. I also think iCal is not very good with it's integration with Exchange servers. I accept invitations to events but the status is not updated, etc.

ICal randomly duplicating events

iCal randomly duplicated events (sometimes twice, other 3 times) after the last sync of my iPhone. I've had, & continue to have this problem with repeating holidays which were transfered from my Palm but now I've got countless duplicate "normal" events over at least the last 6 months. In the past iCal has duped events & simultaneously change the dupe's time slightly but this time they are direct copies. I just finished correcting them manually. For future problems is there any way to automatically remove duplicates? More importantly, is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

Hi John,
Thanks for the information, sorry for the delay in my response -went out of town for a few days. iCal Dupe Deleter sounds seems to be just what the doctor ordered to remedy this situation next time it occurs.
As to my second question, do you, or anyone out there know why this happens or how to avoid it in the future?

ICal drops recurring events randomly.

I have missed 2 bill payments now, because iCal randomly decides it's not going to show a random event one random month. For instance, I have a bill due the 8th of every month, the event shows up March, April, May, not June, July, etc. I had this happen a few months ago with another bill payment.
Is this something new? I just switched to Mavericks in February, with my new (refurb) iMac. I never had this issue running Tiger on my G4 eMac.
Is this a glitch I can fix, or is Mac becoming unreliable?
Thanks for any help

I have just 2 calendars - home and work (and 2 subscriptions - holidays and birthdays).
I really need to keep all of the recurring events (in their "original" form where they were recurring, but only for a handful of days - as opposed to now where there is no end date).
Is there a way to delete everything in iCal and replace it with the calendar information on my iPhone?
Or is there a way I can go back in time to like yesterday or the day before and grab that calendar (I have a time machine, but don't know where the last "good" iCal file would be).

Events randomly moving and being deleted

Hi,
We run Sun Calendar Server 2005Q4 and are having many "reported" issues of the server randomly moving or deleting user events. Some seem to be user error but I am getting enough reports now to be suspect. We also use the outlook connector 7.1.238.
My question:
1) Has anyone ever heard of this?
2) Can I log users calendar events (ie who, when, deleted events).
3) Any ideas of what I can do?
Its becoming a huge problem and I have no idea how to even begin troubleshooting it. We recently worked with Sun support to rebuild our db and it has a clean bill of health.
Any help would be great as I am desperate.
Thanks,

Do you see similar behaviour with the Thunderbird Lightning Plugin or if the user uses UWC/CE?
Not that I know of, but nobody is using these interfaces. Outlook is our support way of accessing. There is no option to try another interface.The advantage of UWC/CE (and Lightning) is that there is no cross-session caching on the client side to muddy the waters i.e. are the events on the server but not being seen by the client or on the client but not on the server.
Have you tried performing an "Empty and resync" with the affected clients:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2567/6n4rl8v17?a=view
You can try enabling the http commands logging which logs WCAP events.
How do i do this? I tried the:
! Create an ENS message when an event is deleted? (yes/no)
caldb.berkeleydb.ensmsg.deleteevent = "yes"
but this did nothing.I was more referring to these steps:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4654/gcpqu?l=en&a=view
Try to isolate the specific circumstances/patterns behind the problem e.g.
We do have a couple users whose specific events keep getting deleted/moved, but what can i do with this.Is there anything different/unique/special/common about those events which get delete/moved vs. those that don't.
Try collecting a snapshot of the problem user accounts (csexport) each day and when the customer does report the problem compare the snapshots to see whether there was a change on the server end.

How can I move an event in ical to another calendar without ical resending the event invite to everyone

I have 2 microsoft exchange calendars that I use for work. One is provided by my company, the other is provided by a customer that I do contract work for. The customer prefers to send invites to my email address provided to me by them. Which means that the invite appears on the exchange calendar provided to me by the customer.
That's fine, but I would like for the event to appear on my work calendar so that I can get reminders on my iphone (long story short, the customer does not allow me to connect to their exchange server via my iphone due to security reasons).
So, I go into iCal, open the event and change the calendar for the event. Unfortunately, that causes iCal to resend the invite to everyone involved in the event. This causes alot of confusion, obviously, as now everyone is wanting to know why I sent an invite for an event that is already scheduled.
How can I move events to another calendar without iCal sending another invite to everyone?

If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

Ical cannot create event in month view

iCal cannot create event in month view. Is this a bug?
I've tried double clicking in a day as I always did but nothing.

Ko be,
Application UI issues are in many cases, caused by a corrupt plist file.
Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
Also read Apple iCal 5 Office Software Review | Macworld for a description of Lion iCal.

Is there a way to have iCal notify of events by email as the default setting? Now I get Message with Sound as the default. I have OS 10.9.2/Mavericks.

The order of my ical 'all day' events changes when i go into print mode?

The order of my ical 'all day' events changes when i go into print mode. What can i do to keep the order of events i so painstakingly created?

Some Ical all-day events automatically move to Jan 1 2000 (01/01/2000)

I keep getting ical reminders for events bearing the date of Jan 01 2000. I checked such date in iCal and I noticed that I had over 30 events set for that date. Some are marked as "detached events" from recurring events set in 2006. What is going on??

I have the exact same problem. I have entered birthdays for people I know starting with the year of their birth and never ending, an all-day event. They now don't show in 2007, but there is a detached event on January 1, 2000. When I delete that event and all subsequent versions of it, the initial event now ends in 2006 or 2007, and I have to set the repeat to end Never again. I fixed all the ones from February that showed up. Now I notice that a huge amount of the other birthdays (all day events) that I have entered are doing it now, and we are talking well over 40 of them. I don't understand why it keeps creating these detached events. I also publish my calendars, if that makes any difference.

Why does my ical not keep events in my upcoming days?

Why does ical not keep events that i have added? the events show up on my other devices and on the me website but will not sync to my computer. does ical have a finite amount of events and if so what is the number.

Anyone??

Why iCal cancel of event edits issue is still not fixed after over 2 years?

Why iCal "cancel of event edits" issue is still not fixed after over 2 years?
I have been in the software engineering industry for over 14 years, but I have never seen a large corporation being so slow at addressing major issues like these.
What would it take for Apple to start working on this issue?

Yup. This is fully ridiculous that you can't cancel your updates once you start. I love the tool but this is on pretty significant issue.
Sometimes I accidentally move a mtg or make some edit while viewing and you can't back you!!
If you feel the same way, you should post a note here:

Why does ical rearrange my events when i print?! 10.9

why does ical rearrange my events when i print?!
I'm on a macbook pro running the latest version of 10.9
Everything is organized the way I like it, but once I go to print, it rearranges the order of my events!
How do I fix this?
Thanks!

I had the same problem a few weeks ago and called apple support. The solution is as follows:
Most apple users have multiple devices using icloud such as an iPdad, iPhone, and other computers. In my case, I had two computers, two iPads, and one iPhone. After speaking to apple support, I realized that one of my ipad's setting were set to delete events older then 2 weeks. In short, if you are expeirienceing problems with ical deleteing events, you better check all your devices. If just one of them is set wrong in your preferences, you will lose past events. Even check computers you gave to your cildren or other members of the family. You will probably find out that the settings on one of these machines is causing your problems.

It says iCal will default events with no end time to one hour..and mine used to..but since I upgraded to Lion it doesn't. Any suggestions as to how I can get it to default events to one hour?

My iCal used to default to one hour when I posted an event with a start time and no end time. The user guide says it will default to one hour. Since I started using OS Lion, my calendar doesn't do that. Can anyone suggest a way for me to get the calendar to default to one hour again? Thanks.

Dana,
Here are some iCal data entry tips from iCal Help:
Enter a name, date, and time duration for the event, and then press Return.
For example, you can enter “Super Bowl Party Feb 5,” “Movie with Rebecca on Friday at 7pm,” “Soccer Game on Saturday from 11am-1pm,” or “Breakfast with Jon,” and then press Return.
If you don’t enter a time duration for the event, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour.
If you don’t enter any time information for the event, iCal makes the event an all-day event.
If you enter “breakfast” or “morning,” iCal sets the event to start at 9 a.m.
If you enter “lunch “ or “noon,” iCal sets the event to start at 12 p.m.
If you enter “dinner” or “night,” iCal sets the event to start at 8 p.m.

Missing Random Calendar Events

We have several instances where random calendar events are not being sync'd to both iPhones or iPads. It does not matter the version is iOS but in this case both devices are running 4.3.1. I've verifieed the Message Class setting is set to IPM.Appointment and the appointment is not a reoccuring event. The OWA version of Exchange correctly displays the calendar event. If I use a Android device, it too, syncs the missing calendar event correctly.
This has occurred on Microsoft Exchange 2007 and 2010.
Please advise.

With Time Machine you can go "back in time" to restore files, versions of files, or your entire system. Make sure your backup drive is connected and mounted (if not, Time Machine will alert you that "Your Time Machine backup disk can't be found."
If prompted, enter an administrator name and password to proceed with the restore.
Restoring specific files or folders
Choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine menu and the restore interface appears. You can literally see your windows as they appeared "back in time."
You can use the timeline on the right side of the window to reach a certain point back in time (the timeline shows the times of all backups on your backup drive). If you don’t know exactly when you deleted or changed a file, you can use the back arrow to let Time Machine automatically travel through time to show you when that folder last changed.
Note: Dates in pink indicate the data resides on your Time Machine backup device. Dates in white indicate the data resides on your Mac. In OS X Lion, portable Macs have the feature of local snapshots. See this article for details.
You can also perform a Spotlight search in the Time Machine Finder Window search field to find a file. Simply type the Spotlight search field and use the back arrow to have Time Machine search through your backups to find what you are looking for.
Before you restore a file, you can also use Quick Look to preview a file to make sure its the one you want. Highlight the file and press the Space Bar to bring up a quick look.
To restore, select the file/folder and click the "Restore" button. The file will automatically be copied to the desktop or appropriate folder. If the file you are restoring has another file in the same location with the same name, you will be prompted to choose which file to keep or keep both.
