Ical stopped working, all events disappeared

I recently downloaded one of the automatic software updates Apple launches every month or so, and now my ical is completely blank. I tried to add a new event to it and it didn't work. I also tried to restore my backed up ical file and that doesn't work either; instead it says that the restore failed and that "iCal data has not been changed." How can I fix this?

1. Restore iCal from the last save that it worked properly.
2. Back up iCal.
3. Quit iCal.
4. Go to libray/application/support/iCal
5. Archive the folder "Sources."
6. In EVERY folder within "Sources," remove the files that end in ".plist."
7. Open iCal and, if necessary, restore from the backup you know is working.
8. That should do it, but if there's still an issue, repeat the above AND
a. Search for and delete "com.apple.iCal.plist"
9. For routine maintenance, you might also want to download, install and run weekly APPLEJACK (http://sourceforge.net/projects/applejack/) OR
9a.Open Terminal, and copy and paste the following:
rm -rfv ~/Library/Caches/*
sudo rm -rfv /Library/Caches/*
sudo rm -rfv /System/Library/Caches/*
sudo rm -rfv /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
sudo diskutil repairPermissions /
lookupd -flushcache

  • ICal has lost all events after upgrade to 10.8.3.

    iCal has lost all events and calendars except for birthdays after upgrade to 10.8.3. If I sync to my iPhone, will it wipe them from the phone, or will it get the events from the phone?
    I have Time Machine working, but am unsure how to restore calendars from it.
    PLEASE HELP.   

    Not sure why you think having to re-authorize would indicate an incompatibility or problem with their software unless you meant you have to keep re-authorizing the plugin?
    Some plugins need re-authorization when you change a certain file or files in your system.. or if the file structure itself changes.. or the drive is renamed for example.. It could simply be that IK used a different form of authorization routine to their other plugins or versions of their plugins, with Amplitude 2.... Nothing to do with an incompatibility...or problems.
    Anyhow I am happy you got the matter resolved and yes, random bursts of white noise is a classic sign of a plugin running in demo mode and needing authorization or re-authorisation as I suspected in your case.

  • ICal Stopped Working ---Help

    All of a sudden my iCal stopped working. When I try to bring it up the program shows a blank calendar screen for about a second and then completely exits and gives the following message: "The application iCal has unexpectedly quit".
    I have some important information on iCal and would like to get it up and running again.
    Your help would be much appreciated.

  • 2nd Gen Time Capsule - will not power up - just stopped working all of a sudden - I have tried other power outlets - I have tried pressing the reset button - no light

    2nd Gen Time Capsule - will not power up - just stopped working all of a sudden - I have tried other power outlets - I have tried pressing the reset button - no light

    The power supply is shot. But that it lasted even this long is the wonder.. not that it died.
    The TC runs too hot..
    Look on ebay for "Time Capsule power supply"
    You can get a replacement and fix it although the economics are not so good.. it is probably time for a new TC.
    If you can DIY it is really only a few dollars worth of capacitors that go bad.

  • HT2305 when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it

    when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it. unistalled it 3x and in the proper order. reset all internet connection to default setting, turned off virus programs ect. Even the tech at apple by remote access couldnt fix it. use microsoft fix it also no good....\

    I am having the same problem now also. It happened after I updated my version. I have NEVER had this problem before as a windows user and have had iTunes for 5 years. So, I would have to say it is an Apple problem. I have not changed anything on my computer. I still have Internet Explorer and I have not even updated windows. The only thing I updated was iTunes. Now, I am not getting any response from Apple and if you call you have to pay for support. What a joke. An iPod costs $400 you would think that after paying that much you would at least get some type of help. This will now be the last time I ever by anything apple.

  • I can't make or take phone calls, but i can message and use data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, two of which have this problem and one just stopped working all together.

    My phone doesn't have any cellular phone functions...but it CAN send text messages and access data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, the last two have this problem and the first stopped working all together. I've had new sim cards put in, ive done hard resets on the phone, i've rebooted the phone, done battery pulls, and tech support has reset the signal to my phone. Nothing has worked. (I just "upgraded" <- lol.... and my old phone IS turned off.)

    Im in 79707. So to recap my whole case: I upgraded my device using the verizon wireless website. I received my phone and switched my old SIM card from my Droid Razr Maxx HD into the new Galaxy S5. Everything worked fine until the next morning (May 31st) when I woke up and the phone wouldn't turn on. I took the phone to the local Verizon store and they were also unable to turn it on. They issued me a new Galaxy S5 (referred to as phone 2) and switched my SIM card into that one.
    With PHONE 2 i was able to make calls and receive calls, along with text and data for approximately four hours. After that, i was unable to use the phone function of the device, but text and data were still functioning. I took PHONE 2 back to the Verizon store where they attempted to hard reset the phone twice, they also installed two new SIM cards at the store. After this they would get the same error, which is the phone just reading "Dialing..." after attempting to make a call. The Verizon associate declared the phone "DOA" and issued me another Galaxy S5 (referred to as PHONE 3).
    PHONE 3 worked well, with phone text and data featured intact from when I received it on the after noon of the 31st until approximately 2:30PM on June 1st. I contacted Verizon Tech Support via Gmail phone to attempt the correct the problem. They reset the connection, had me do a battery pull, had me close the "phone" application, and erase the data and catche, then restart the phone. All of which had no effect. My phone is still able to receive texts and use data (even with wifi off) it simply cannot make or take phone calls. all it says is "dialing..." when I attempt to make a call. When other phones call my device it rings once on their end and directs them to voicemail, PHONE 3 does not ring on my end.
    I have made sure my old phone is completely powered down.

    I have full membership to CC and have been using it for 4 months. Randomly Photoshop stopped opening jpgs, so I uninstalled and re-installed. Photoshop then stopped working all together. I signed out of the app manager and when I signed back in all my info was gone and only "TRIAL VERSIONS" of CC apps were available. I paid for this software. I need to be able to download it again.

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

  • During app load, Premiere elements 11 stopped working all of a sudden. Why?

    Premiere elements 11 stopped working all of a sudden. Says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly" I re-installed it but still the same.
    I haven't installed any other apps except adobe reader and there were a few Windows updates but that was it. Some history - I had defraged my hard drive when this started to happen. Wouldn't the re-install have fixed it if the de-frag caused this problem? What is causing elements to stop loading at the splash screen?

    Thanks for the follow up with the very helpful information.
    If this is one of those Importer QuickTime type issues, the answers are few if any.
    If you have not already tried
    Have you attempted to delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary,
    the whole 11.0 Folder in which it exists.
    then, please try the following...
    My expectations for the following are not high, but worth the time -
    1 uninstall the usual Control Panel way - you might want to uninstall QuickTime at the same time.
    2. free ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts)
    CCleaner - Download
    3. reinstall QuickTime and then Premiere Elements with anti-virus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Others on the list...
    1. Create a new User Account with Administrative Privileges and install and run Premiere Elements
    from there.
    2. Use a new set of installation files either from Adobe if you purchased the program from it as an online
    download, or get tryout installation files for 11 into which you can insert your purchased serial number.
    Photoshop Elements 11 Direct Download Links: Free Trials, Premiere | ProDesignTools
    If the latter, read and carry out carefully the Note: Very Important Instructions in order to avoid an Access
    Denied message.

  • Iphoto stopped working,all i get now is spinning beach ball of death.help!

    iphoto stopped working,all i get know is spinning beach ball of death.please help.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • Relink does not work; all events staying red and files disappear!

    A very bad bad story...
    after continuis spinning ball (i hate this thing what so often comes to please me) I used "forced stop" fcpx. (i could not else)
    after restart fcpx all the events are in red.
    after restart mbp + fcpx: all events are red again... that looks bad to me...
    i tried more than ones the relinck function:
    no result at all. I saw actions being done, the harddisk drive was working but no relinked files in the events. (i tried one by one, there are 9)
    An other attempt with relinck: a small event (about 9 files) and not important for me seems to be going well, the red clips disappear in the event window but .. all clips disappeard to!; a totally empty event window... I looked with finder into the map and believe it or not: all the files were gone! I could not believe this thinking i made a fault.  Thus:
    I repeated this action with another map (and copied the files in it first) and the same happens: totally empty.
    I tried to re-import from camera/archief: no result.
    The last thing to do was:
    to open a new event and "imported from file": the clips came into the event window but .... red...
    So, in my opnion there is something very very wrong...
    What can i do more to restore the connection because the most events have a content according to the finder.
    BTW, i know there is a lot of discussion about this matter and may be with the solution but i can 't find it... (even with the searchfunction)
    For any help or suggestion: Thanks!
    Bruce.
    (I am going to sleep now, it is over midnight here)

    That's not stupid, I happened to me too yesterday.
    How are you supposed to know that the files fcpx is pointing out are originals or Proxies. You have to go check in the Prefs.
    Wishlist: Since choosing to read fullres or proxy media is an application wide feature, it should appear clearly somewhere (in the Timeline bar, the Library, or the Inspector) as a reminder.
    A couple of time I have wondered which files fcpx was reading. The only way to know is the cmd-F (Locate in Finder) command. The Inspector doesn't give any answer to that.
