ICal won't save any new events

Hello,
iCal worked fine for a time, but now I can enter as much events as I want, it forgets everyone once I shut down iCal. If I just close the window (so that the light still glows under the symbol in the dock) the program remembers the newly entered events.
I'm not sure, but I upgraded 10.5. to 10.6.2. snow leopard on my MacBook a few days ago - so maybe the events won't be saved since I installed 10.6. and the problem is connected with 10.6.
Events I entered in the past, are being remembered finely. And I have full write and read rights in the specific events-folder.
I found this problem often on google, but no one seems to have a solution but to deactivate the birthday-abonnement, which I don't want to. I didn't find this problem in this forum - if it exists, please just delete this thread and show me the other one.
Thank You for answering,

schut,
...when I export as .ics-file I get all my events back by importing and when I use .icbu-files I don't.
That is the reason that I urged you to export individual calendars. That procedure will usually work for the .ics files if the .icbu is unsuccessful.
...One is called "Calendar sync Changes" (although I don't sync my calendar with anything?). Of course I deleted everything, but I wanted to report this either.
I do not know why it reappears, but surmise that attempting to subscribe to birthdays may create the folder.
...When I log in again and start iCal it has the event-groups "test", "Privat" and "Buero" (=office or something like that in English). Is this normal although I deleted all the stuff You said?
Those two calendars (Work/Home)will automatically be created the first time iCal opens without any data. You can delete them without consequence.
...By the way, is there no way/program with that I can uninstall iCal (and maybe reinstall)?
I have found that individual application reinstallation rarely, if ever solves the type of problems which you are experiencing.
...Or is there maybe a known problem in the address-book program from which is not known that it can conflict with the iCal also?
I am not aware of a "known problem," but do agree that there may be a corrupt address card.
I would agree with your plan, as long as you are willing to manually recreate your Address Book entries.
Good Luck!

  • 7.3 Upgrade - Won't save any new music

    I have just upgraded to version 7.3 but an error message has come up saying library cannot be saved (-50). I have tried to download again but same message occurs.
    It won't allow me to save any new music to the library.
    Has anyone else come across this and does anyone know how to solve it.

    I have exactly the same problem. Every time I start the program It tries to dreate the library and then gives the message "The i tunes library cannot be saved an unknown error occurs (-50) I'm sorry I upgraded and wish I could go back.
    Hopefully someone will find an answer. Otherwise I guess I don't buy any more itunes which would make my wife happy!

  • Firefox search box no longer displays any search engines and won't save any new ones

    A while back the default search box in firefox 4 randomly lost all the search engines in it and the box to restore defaults is permanently greyed out so I can't restore it. I've tried deleting the files mentioned in other responses as well as just moving them out of the folder with no success. I feel that the only way to possibly fix this is to completely remove all traces of firefox from my laptop and reinstall but i'd rather not go through reinstalling all the add ons I have etc if it can be helped with a simpler fix.

    I said in my initial post that I had tried all those fixes. Tried everything with the sqlite files and the form history. No luck. Don't have either of the extensions and it can't be any of the others as even in safe mode it still isn't any different. I have also performed plenty of virus scans and nothing has come up.

  • 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.

  • ICal won't save information

    iCal won't save new information. Deleting information does work. It worked fine until a couple days ago and I don't know what changed to cause this strange behavior. It will work on other accounts on my system.
    I have noticed other posts regarding the same problem with minor differences but all stating iCal won't retain information. None of them have been answered.
    iCal is very useful to me. Can anyone help?
    Thank you.

    This is not a mobile me issue. I am not a mobile me subscriber, and I have just recently gotten into a situation where iCal behaves as if there is nothing wrong (I can move things around, add events etc) then when I quit and start it up again, it looks like all my changes went missing. This is the same behaviour for caldav and local calendars. Oddly enough, if I go to google calendar and make changes there, I see them in iCal. I also see updates if I make changes on the iPhone and then sync.
    I have gone to the finder and deleted all calendars and iCal preferences. When I fire up iCal again, it shows the standard starting state with home and work calendars. I can make changes and they get saved and everything. Now, when I restore the backup file I made, it goes back to not saving anything.

  • 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.

  • Acrobat won't save any more links in a PDF. Why?

    I am adding links to a PDF file. I have done several, including the index of the file. Acrobat won't save any more though. Why?

    Sara,
    The Save As allows me to save the changes, but the regular save will still not function. I seem to recall a similar issue with the last version of this document, with a similar number of links.
    Thanks,

  • Ive followed all the hints on your website i still cannot save any new bookmarks

    ive followed all the hints on your website i still cannot save any new bookmarks, i have a new mac book pro, worked fine no doesnt save bookmarks, verrrrrry annoying!

    Hi eddpie,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I personally would suggest the option to save your iTunes library to an external drive -- because it creates an important backup, and copies the library to your new computer.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527?viewlocale=en_US
    External drive
    This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
    Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC.
    Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
    Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
    Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
    Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
    Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
    Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
    Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
    Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Updated to Mountain Lion, Macbook Pro Won't save any app preferences

    My wife has a 2009 Macbook Pro. We recently upgraded it to Moutain Lion, and now we are having quite a few issues. Additionally, we upgraded to MS Office 2011 from 2008.  Anytime we open most applications, no preferences have saved, and it goes through the process of opening the application for the first time. For example, the only way to open a word document (previously created in 2008) is to open Word 2011, go through the registration process where it tells us the product is already registered, then it opens a blank document. Once the blank document is open, you can click on the saved document again, then it will open. If you close the application, you have to go through this process all over again. This same thing happens for all products in the MS suite.
    Additionally, firefox will not work at all. whenever I click on it, the icon just pops up and down and nothing happens. Their troubleshooting is telling us to create a user profile (which I have) under he application support folder, but the folder is gone after the update. Additionally, deleting and re-installing the application has not solved the problem. Additionally, Safari won't save any preferences.
    Also, she is the only user account on the computer.
    Any help would be great!

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • The calendar events on  iPhone 4 have been deleted and cannot add any new events

    iphone 4 calendar-- all events erased and cannot add any new events-- + is grayed out!

    Hi all,
    I work for an Enterprise with around 30 devices so far, 5 of them have been upgraded to iOS 5.01 and we are having this issue, the steps below are appearing, these are both on iphone and ipad 2's with exchange 2003:-
    - Exchange Calendars not sync'ing, but Yahoo account working fine.
    - Create an appointment on the ipad / iphone and this sync's with Exchange.
    - Close the Calendar and re-open the appointment disappears, but stay's within Exchange.
    - Meetings created within the Exchange Calendar do not synch with the iphone / ipad.
    This is starting to cause a lot of issues.
    Thanks

  • My iPhone 4 calendar won't sync to iCloud. If I make a new event on my iCal on my MBP it will sync to iCloud and to my iPhone, but any new events I create on my iPhone will not sync to iCloud. Any potential solutions?

    I have tried numerous things like turning off iCloud on both devices and rebooting them and turning iCal on again, checking the settings, checking what calendars are being used but nothing has worked so far. Any other solutions welcome! Hoping I will not have to resort to restoring my iPhone completely.

    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Google calendar, etc.  If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
    If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your phone to your calendar on icloud.com.  Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On.  Then add a new event on your phone and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.

  • I lost my bookmarks and I am unable to save any new ones.

    I re-installed FF3.6 and lost my bookmarks. I also cannot add any new bookmarks I did this 4 times and gave up and I unfortunately deleted my default user files so I cannot restore from the automatic bookmark backups. I had backed up my bookmarks to a flash drive. The bookmarks are all there and in HTLM form. I tried to restore from this backup but can't do it.
    I know I have made a mess but I was thoroughly pissed off. I had also tried to come here but my password could never be changed so I couldn't ask a question. It was finally changed an hour ago.
    If someone has any suggestions I would be grateful. I had tried FFv4 bur Roboform does not work there and I am not going to start paying them $20/year just because they won't update their plug-in.
    Thank you very much for any help.

    Thank you for answering. I think I have the log in problem fixed at least for today.
    I have tried to import a copy of my bookmarks from a flash drive but it won't work. I think I have to make a new profile. When I looked at the old profile there weren't any bookmarks in the folder. If I do start a new profile would I be able to import my html copy of bookmarks? I am getting so frustrated and having to use IE doesn't help matters. I know the support for FF 3.6 is short lived but roboform will not work in FF 4 and I haven't tried FF5 but I assume it would be the same. They just want to make the older versions a thing of the past so they can charge the $20/mo. and I don't want to do that. But I may be forced to. I could change to another like LastPass but I don't really know anything about that one. I really need a password manager for my iphone. Sorry if I have asked about more than one problem but I really want to keep using FF.
    Thanks for any help.

  • I recently tried to change a sved password for my Exchange Server email account, by deleting the site from my "Saved Passwords" tab in the Tools-Options-Security page. Now this web page won't save any entered data.

    I wanted to change my password for logging in to my work email address. The site was not prompting me to change it automatically, so I manually removed it from the list in the TOOLS-SECURITY-OPTIONS page. Now this site won't retain any kind of entered data, such as addresses that I compose emails to very regularly.
    How can I get this site back on the list that will save passwords? I've tried re-starts, log-out and back in, etc, and it won't prompt me to save a password.

  • Mail won't download any new messages.

    Updated to 10.6.2 recently.
    Today I have noticed that mail, although checking for new mail, doesn't show any new messages. This despite the ping sounding off to indicate new mail.
    The only way to see any new messages is to shut mail down and open it back up.

    Try this - find the /Library/Preferences folder in your user/Home folder and then locate and delete this file:
    com.apple.mail.plist
    *Caution* - doing this may clear your account settings to be sure to note those first in the event you are required to reconfigure, etc.
