Ical start but never appears onscreen

Hey Everyone.
I'm sure that has been address but I've tried searching and haven't found any solutions that I feel will work.
I'm running OSX 10.5.8
iCal 3.0.8
It's been acting funny lately... like if I'm looking a the month of October and then advance the calander to november... the numbers of the day's and event's stay from October and carry over into november...
Today I tired to start up ical and it loads. The top of my window shows me all the ical menu items but there is no calender on my screen. It just shows my desktop. I can even scroll through the menu items but other than that, ical seems to be floating around in space and not on my computer.
Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks
-Fraky

Fraky,
First of all try refreshing the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.
If that is unsuccessful, open System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats, and choose, or change the appropriate region.

Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

HT1688 My iPhone accepts messages from a straight talk phone, when sending a text it looks like it goes through but never appears on the straight talk phone

My iPhone accepts messages from a straight talk phone, when sending a text it goes through on my end but never appears on the straight talk phone. I'm having to use a secondary app that allows me to send a message that actually appears on the straight talk phone. I now have the iPhone 5 thinking it would fix the problem but it did not, and now that I have the 4G LTE it uses up my internet in a second.

The iPad doesn't do SMS text messges which are necessary to send messges to a regular phone.

turn your ipad off by holding the sleep wake button for 5 seconds and slide to turn off then turn it back on and the apps should be finished and if the apps didnt finish just redownload them

ICal starts but doesn't show up

Hello,
My Mac: MacBook black, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X 10.5.8.
No worries till last week: I wanted to use iCal and when I launched it, it appeared in the menu bar but I couldn't see anything, no window appeared. I tried to lauch some functions and nothing appeared.
So far, I've launched iCal a couple of times when I just get my Mac to see what it was and then, I didn't use it at all...
Here's what I tried to fix the problem (translating from French, it might not be very precise, sorry):
.reinstalled iCal
.checked hard drive (with disk utilites)
.repaired authorizations
.created a new user (iCal works there but not under my session)
.cleaned with cleaning programs (OnyX and Spring Cleaning): checked S.M.A.R.T. of the disk, cleaned cache, checked files (tool FileChecker)
.backed up and then deleted these files: com.apple.iCal.plist, iCalExternalSync.plist and the folders and files User/Library/Calendars et User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCal.
.put these files and folders back
After each of these stages, I tried to launch iCal and it never get any better!
I've been told to try to install the last Mac OS X Update Combo (10.5.8). It's a pretty big file and it seems my system is up to date anyway since I always install updates and my OS version is the same: 10.5.8.
Shall I try to install this Mac OS X Update Combo 10.5.8 anyway?
Any other idea to fix my iCal?
Any suggestion of any application that iCal could possibly be substituted by?
Thanks

Found the answer by myself. Recently, I get rid of one space of Spaces. And iCal was supposed to start on that space. Then, each time I would try to start iCal, it would start in... the cosmos! And remains invisible.
So I get rid the Spaces attribution for iCal and it worked!
Suggestion to improve Mac OS X: show a message saying that a space is being deleted and that some applications are attached to it and suggest to attribute them to a different space or cancel any attribution (I hope I'm clear!).

Java 1.5.09/10 Java Applet on Vista - starts but never downloads files

We are attempting to test a java 1.5.07 compiled and signed Java applet with Windows Vista (from MSDN).
Logged in as an administrator on the client PC, we installed the 1.5.09 and the 1.5.10 JRE on the client.
We then changed the html of the applet page to specifiy the new plugin version so it matched the JRE installed on the client.
When we start up IE7, point to our HTML applet page, and attempt to download (cache) our applet, the default Java plugin graphic with the progress bar onthe bottom shows up, but no progress is ever made.
Taking a look at the Java console with full debugging turned on, we don't see any activity. When I dumped the classloader list, it only shows the codebase string, but no classes are actually loaded.
I thought that maybe a popup window (asking to verify the certificate) might have popped up and was hidden by another window, but that's not the case. It never appears.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I can certainly attempt to capture more debug if someone can point me in the right direction!
Thanks!
-Matt

Ok, some more info - and this gets interesting!
The server is located in a DMZ here at work. (We have offshore teams in russia who are developing and testing code)
It seems to be an issue with the internal firewall/DMZ here at work.
We moved the codebase to a machine that is locally located (not in a DMZ) and presto, the applet begins to download.
When I find out more information, I'll post in case anyone else comes across a similar concern/issue. It may be the firewall/router vendor?!?

Message start but never finish

Hi guys,
I have installed PI 7.0 was 5 months ago, that always running without problem, but today have occured one error.
Error:
When the PI send a xml for receiver agrement (comunication channel) the message stay always executing and never stop.
In SMQ2 tcode, the message are executing for hours, hours, hours and not stop.
The message appears em sxmb_moni (abap) but not appears in rwb (java)
Can anybody help me, please ?

Hi Joao,
If this is the case you dont need to worry. This is your java function problem . There is some condition in your java function that is never satisfied and goes into infinite loop. Plz check that condition or make sure that this condition is satisfied.
If you want you can check by removing the Java function and then checking in smq1/smq2 there wont be any entries in running status.
Hope this solves your problem.
Thanks!

Iphoto 11 launch from dock, but never appear in Finder

I bought Ilife'11 and install Iphoto'9.
at the first launch of Iphoto, I was asked to upgrade to 9.1 (what I did with success).
At the first launch of Iphoto 9.1, from the dock or from the application file, the application starts, it appears as running in the activity monitor (100% of memory space) but nothing appear in the finder, even after 10 minutes or more.
The same problem exists with or without my Iphoto library.
I look at the forum: launch and repair permissions; I tried a lot of the proposed solutions (removing from the preference file); nothing works.
It's the first time that I got so many problems installing an apple application.
Anyone knows what to do?

Have you tried removing the DivX component from the HD/Library/QuickTime
Regards

HT4913 Trying to add new macbook air to itunes match. process starts but never succeeds. works for a while then give error about itunes server.

Trying to add my new Macbook Air to iTunes match. Process starts but goes nowhere. After some time I get error about iTunes server losing connection. Help! I want to access all my music.

Hi Rob- I'm guessing it has something to do with all the update stuff Apple keeps doing (with Yosemite, etc.,) extremely frustrating - also whenever I load up iTunes on any of my devices- I am asked to enter my passcode- which I will do- then I am asked to do it 2 or 3 more times - right after the other- crazy how annoying something like that can be- I have looked online for solutions- i.e. close out of the account, reset the passcode- all of it- nothing seems to fix that situation either- what I have discovered (playing around) is on my iPhone 6+ if I go to settings and turn OFF iTunes match- then turn it back ON- suddenly all the music that wasn't loaded shows up magically- but I had to do that each time I'd update songs in my playlist on the iMac- then go to the iPhone and turn off the match- then turn it back on- almost like it is resetting things-

ICal starts but is not functional

When I attempt to open iCal, the program starts, however, the window never comes up, and all of the options in the task bar are grey-ed out. Anyone??

stretchdavestrong,
1. I haven't even been able to find "Repair Disk Permissions"
In that case before we do anything else, open the Disk Utility application which can be found in your Utilities Folder (Finder>Go>Utilities).
The Disk Utility window will have a pane on the left side which lists your attached volumes. Click on the Macintosh HD, and then click on "First Aid."
Next click on (Repair Disk Permissions) to test and repair permissions. This will take at least 20 minutes, but in any case, let it run until it reports that permissions have been repaired.
Then restart your computer and let us know what happens when you try to use iCal.

SMD Ageent starts, but donu00B4t appear in the SMD

Hello,
I installed the Java Add-In and deployed the latest updates of the j2ee and Solution Manger Diagnostics.
Now, I installed on the same host the SMDAgent SP13. After the successfully installation started the Agent and appeared in the SMD Agent registration. Afterwards I try to add the Agent to the SLD via the link Agent Candidates Management and I entered the credentials. The Agent shut down and doesnt start.
When I start the agent manually he comes up but dont appear in the SMD. There is the following message:
FAIL: NIECONN_REFUSED (Connection refused), NiRawConnect failed in plugin_fopen()
I read in this forum that this is a normal error which occurs often.
Following the logs from the file logviewer_standalone_server.log, may be they can help you.

Says starting but never starts

Hi , not sure if i'm posting in the right bit ,
Ever since the new update I have had problems , first of all it kept erroring when trying to do the update but I fixed that , now it just says please wait with just the blue/grey background nothing else on it , then it says starting ... . and well it never starts the power button remains blue , and the screen goes black and says no signal ( which my TV does) , so I have checked all the cables/ changed the cables for new ones made sure its all in the right settings but nothing happens so i'm not sure what I should do next really , if you restart the box it just starts the whole thing over again , surely if it was the cables or my TV I would not get the please wait and the blue screen ?
Any advice ? Many thanks x

No SCART socket on the TV. Wow you must have a modern TV. SCART is gradually being phased out as it's an analogue technology dating back to the 1970s.
Solution 3 has solved things for some people. I suspect in those cases the software just got corrupted for some reason so the only answer was to totally reinstall from scratch. It's no different to PC software in that respect. If the actual program data itself (rather than the user data) becomes corrupted on the hard-disk then it will never run correctly. You have to bite the bullet and reinstall the program again.

I uploaded several photos of mine to put on facebook. The uploading completed, but never appeared on facebook......

Just below the tools bar is a "verified by digicert inc." which takes me to a security lock, which I assume is my photo album that somehow never got to facebook. I cannot unlock it. Facebook help section suggested I go to tools options, click exceptions in load images auto, then highlite facebook website, then remove site and close. I did this, but nothing happened. I am new to uploading photos, so I need HELP......

Thank you Klaus1.The large font, I copied and pasted from my mail box.I'm visually impaired...not to a huge degree but it helps to use the large font.I believe you are right about the copyright on the imac stuff but if facebook decide otherwise, you have to reply electronically to their challenge.If you can't provide a reference directly from the copyright owner then they remove the video.I believe this is a programmed response and no human is involved which now makes it impossible for me to get my video uploading restored.They detect added soundtrack automatically and then challenge.There are many others in the same boat and facebook will not communicate.They have various discussion sites on which I have left messages including Mark Zuckerbergs own facebook but I don't think anyone from facebook ever reads them.I intend to start a second facebook which I can use purely to get my videos uploaded as a lot of my friends enjoy them BUT don't want fall foul of their programming again.If only iMac would put something on the net to this effect.I think it is so unfair that with modern technology it is impossible to contact these large conglomerates personally and receive an email response.I tried emailing [email protected] but I got a failure notice.If you have any ideas on how to get verification from apple direct, I would be very grateful.Thank You.
