ICal won't show any calendar in any account - reset?

Hi all,
After Google's update to their calendar systems, I've been experience some weired behaviour in my calendars (both OSX iCal and iOS Calendar).
So i thought of resetting both.
On the iPhone it all went well: I turned off both Google's and iCloud's calendar services, birthdays from Facebook and set up again successfully; now it works perfectly.
On the Mac, iCal failed, i.e. kept failing at syncing between Google's calendar server and iCal (iCloud seemed to work fine, though). So, after trying a couple of times to turn on and off the sync service of both iCloud and Google from Preferences and from iCal, I decided to remove all the files in ~/Library/Calendars and matching ~/Preferences/*iCal*. This resulted in both iCloud and Google's accounts not syncing anymore.
So I tried again to activate and deactivate both accounts using System Preferences. Fail.
Using iCal interface. Fail.
Fail: iCal keeps saying: updating calendars but many hours have passed now and nothing happens. The other times I reset iCal it took me like 30 seconds to have it work properly. Moreover, I don't think is a server side issue (like: too many trials, wait some time) because on the iPhone everything works pretty much ok.
How do I solve this issue? I'm thinking about a complete reset but I don't seem able to find the correct files to remove.
Thanks,
Riccardo

Mario,
You are welcome.
I am just curious, how can you tell the calendar is "incomplete"? And, if that is the reason it won't work, why is it listed on the apple website as being a valid calendar??
I subscribed to the calendar and looked for current entries in the iCal window. It had some erroneous data, and since it did not work for either of us, I concluded that your system was OK and the calendar was invalid.
The iCalShare calendar on the other hand had appropriate and up-to-date information.
If you desire you can provide iCal Feedback to inform Apple that the Red Wings calendar is not correct.
;~)

  • ICal doesn't show my calendars, although data clearly sits on my computer

    After a system crash, iCal doesn't show my calendars any more. It appears in the same state as when I opened it the very first time, i.e. contains empy "Work" and "Home" calendars.
    Yet,
    ~/Library/Application Support/iCal
    contains plenty of data that looks as if it were my calendar's contents, namely in the subdirectory "Sources".
    On the other hand
    ~/Library/Calendars
    does not exist. According to some documentation it should've been there.
    Luckily, I had only recently synchronized my iPod, and I can still read my calendars from it.
    How can I make my calendars re-appear in iCal, either based on the data that are still on my laptop, or from my iPod?? And then, in the future I'll make sure to have a more professional backup. ;-(

    I'm seeing the same thing, and I can't even find where OS X stores calendars on disk anymore...

  • ICal won't show or print calendar in 5 day per week view

    Even though I have checked the option under preferences to view my calendar with 5 days per week, it still shows on screen and prints with 7 days per week. Anyone have any ideas to remedy this?
    Thanks-

    yes there is a problem with the web view formerly published pages timing out. that I need answers to myself.
    regarding losing the option to publish in ical 4, what happened is when you upgraded your mobile me calendars it took all your published "on my mac " calendars and stored them at me.com which for now has no web view associated with them-they can only be shared by subscription.look at you ical and you'll see all your calendars now under [email protected] here's the work around:make sure her availability calendar is up to date. in ical go to file>new calendar>on my mac. give it the exact name of the one you had published. now select that calendar from me.com go to file>export-export the .ics file to the desktop-now go the your newly created "on my mac" calendar and import that file.-now with the "on my mac" calendar ical will allow you once again to publish. and if you kept the name exactly the same it should have the same web address-now if will only stop timing out!

  • HT4864 My .mac email won't show up on my gmail account since I transferred to icloud. Any ideas?

    Switched over to Icloud. Now my email doesn't show up in my google account. Any ideas? Is it a different server address?

    Yes, it is a different server.
    As far as I know Gmail can only collect email from a POP3 account. iCloud uses IMAP.
    Setup forwarding to your Gmail account in your iCloud account settings instead at iCloud.com

  • I downloaded mountain lion; now it won't stop "moving calendars to server account".  How long should this take?

    I have just installed Mountain Lion and was initially thrilled to see that my
    calendars for iphone and ipad finally synced!  However, the message on
    my MacBook Pro calendar page is "moving calendars to server account"
    and it's been doing that for about 1.5 hours at this point.  The only way to get
    out of calendar is to force quit, and when I restart, and go back to calendar,
    it's right back with moving calendars to server account.
    What should I do to solve this?

    Restart your Mac.

  • ICal events not showing in calendar

    I have an issue syncing iCal with my iPhone. I do believe it is an iCal problem though.
    Some events in iCal don't get synced to the iPhone and one event that does not show up in iCal shows up on the iPhone after sync.
    Does anybody have any suggestions for troubleshooting iCal? Maybe repairing the iCal database? Tracing down problem events/calendars?
    Thanks

    Instead of syncing ALL calendars, I selected a few and then synced. After syncing, I selected "Sync ALL" and all my calendars were sent to iPhone successfully. Hope this helps.

  • ICal won't accept Google Calendar password

    can't sync with my Google calendars anymore.
    I have deleted the calendar accounts on my Mac.
    Set up the 2-stpe passwords on Google.
    Tried to create new accounts in iCal with my email address (is not a gmail account) and app specific password:
    - used Automatic Account setup: get a "Server With Secure Communication Unavailable" error message
    - used Google account type: it finds my account - asks me again right away for the password. I enter it. It creates the account but gives me the error icon and wants my password over and over without syncing.
    - used CaDAV account type: I enter User Name, app specific password and for server address: google.com
    again, it finds my account and wants passwword right away.
    I have also tried to use for a server address the calendar URL (https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/[email protected]/user) - no go.
    I have quit iCal after various account setups and reopeen - always the same problem:
    Alert icon next to the calendar account and when I click on it, it wants me to enter the password. I do and nothing happens - no syncing.
    When I go to Delegates of the created account, I get an error message saying: Sever did not recognize your user name or passwword....
    I only use the app specific password. I do have a different user name than my email address - but I have tried to use both at different times - no go.
    Any ideas?
    Mac mini, OSX 10.8.5, iCal 6.0

    I haven't tried your fix yet, but I was having the same problem with iCal and now I have it with everything. Google wants to link with OS X for a number of apps - fine - I enter my password - still fine - then there's another window: will you accept x,y, z? I click 'accept' and I get 'Google authentication failed'. I have changed my password three time just to make sure I am using the correct password, but no.
    I do wonder if the problem is gmail - the password window opens with my gmail address (which I never use) filled in. I change it to my real email address and the password is fine until it gets to the 'accept' thing. Just appeared in notifications again: Enter you pssword for [my username] in Internet Accounts. I just can't be bothered to try again.

  • ICal won't update published calendar

    I have a published calendar on .Mac and when I update in iCal, it won't update on my .Mac account. Also it shows that the published date is Dec 31, 1969. I have checked my date and time on system preferences. I have deleted and recreated this calendar, and it has not solved the problem. I have even unpublished and published several times, all to no avail. I have iCal 2.0.2 installed. Anyonw else come across this problem?
    Thanks.

    When you publish, is "Publish changes automatically" checked? This would explain why updates don't happen. Also in .Mac system preferences under the "Sync" tab, there is a choice of how often to sync. Even if this is set to "Automatically" the sync isn't instant. Check this setting. I don't know if it affects published calendars or not, but worth checking nonetheless.
    I wonder if in the Date and Time system preference ("Date & Time" tab) you have "Set date & time automatically" Checked?
    Mine publish fine, no problem: http://ical.mac.com/dancingbrook/Social
    Still no solution for web To Dos though perhaps via a webDAV server? Try:
    http://www.icalx.com/
    Also, can I assume you've tried trashing your ical preferences? ~/Library/Preerences/com.apple.iCal.plist

  • Ical doesn't show all calendars from icloud

    I don't all the calenders from icloud from my ipad 2 and ,my iphone 4, anyone has similar problem? and happen to know what steps I missed??

    Gabriella,
    Sometimes making the Calendar window bigger, or using full screen allows additional text to be displayed.
    View>"Make Text Smaller" is also an option for those with Eagle Eyes.

  • Mail won't show messages from my .Mac account

    I have set up 5 accounts in Mail. Two of these accounts are .Mac mail accounts and the other 3 are verizon accounts. When I receive an email in any account, the Mail icon bounces on my desktop and makes its alert sound. I can check the 5 inboxes and retrieve messages from the verizon accounts, but not the .Mac accounts. The .Mac inboxes will tell me how many messages I have in those accounts, but I cannot read them in Mail. I have to do go Mac.com to read these messages! The Mac accounts are enabled. All of the accounts were set up before the new Mail came out and Mail worked fine until then, but I have not been able to read my messages in Mail from the .Mac accounts since the new version of Mail. Is this a common problem and is there something I can do to fix my inability to read these messages in Mail?

    Let’s check whether the rules could have a bearing on this:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
    3. Locate MessageRules.plist and move it to the Desktop. If there is a file called MessageRules.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too. You may also see MessageSorting.plist files there; this is where Mail 1.x stored the rules, and they are no longer used by Mail 2.x, so just move them to the Trash if you see them.
    4. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
    5. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
    6. Go online again if you went offline in step 4.
    If the problem persists after doing this, then you know the rules have no bearing on it, and you may move the files on the Desktop back to the ~/Library/Mail/ folder, overwriting any files Mail may have created anew there (quit Mail first).
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen won't show anything on the screen after "reset all settings" option??

    okay, here's the situation.
    1. I DID NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE Jailbreak this iPod. in fact,  the iPod was FULLY reformatted, and had a whole new library put on it prior to the malfunction.
    2. the iPod WAS FULLY WORKING BEFORE i selected the "Reset all settings" Option from the Privacy menu
    3. I have tried ALL of the reset steps, including, but not limited to; DFU mode, Force reset, Hard reset, Hard reset, Force-into-itunes, and the like.
    So, knowing that I HAVE NOT jailbroken this iPod, and I have tried EVERYTHING tio fix it, what might the problem be? please, someone help ASAP.
    Brandon.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Crazy iCal - doesn't show any events and to-dos

    My iCal is going crazy. It all started with an inspector popup not closing. I clicked on "Done", but it just stayed there. I switched to a different week, it stayed at its position. I closed the window, it disappeared, but when I reopened the popup it was here again.
    Then I restarted iCal and it was finally gone. But then even more strange things happened. I was doing some more "intensive" iCal-work. I exported/imported two calendars to merge them with others, I switched some events to different calendars, I edited some events, and did some copy/paste from repeating events (there was a warning message that only a single event will be copied). At some point there was again a strange behavior, I cut/pasted an event, but pasting didn't work. Then I pressd Command-Z to undo the cut, the event reappeared, I copied it and pasted it somewhere else. Then the events started to disappear. First the one I was editing. It was just gone. I switched to the previous week and back, and then no events were there anymore. In the other weeks there were still some (if I remember right), but when I switched to month-view - everything gone. The to-dos were still there. I restarted iCal, nothing, I restarted the Mac, nothing. Now even the to-dos are gone, although I can still see them in Mail.
    It gets even worse: The left and right arrow-buttons to switch to a different day/week/month stay pressed when I click them until I click the day/week/month button. I have never seen anything like that before. I can not check/uncheck any calendar, the "today" button is greyed out. When i switch from month-view to day-view sometimes on the top you can still read half of "June 2009" from month-view.
    I checked the files ~/Library/Calendars. I think the events are still there, I can view all the events (I think) in Quicklook. Also, the to-dos are still visible in Mail. It must be an iCal problem. After restarting iCal a couple of times the to-dos reappeared.
    Any ideas?
    [Update:]
    Some events just reappered magically, among them the automatically imported birthdays from address book, but the dates are wrong. A friend whose birthday is on May 9th (that's a Saturday this year) appears now every week on Saturday!

    :S,
    Sorry, missed that fact. My memory is good, but short.
    Try moving the "Calendar Cache" file to your Desktop. Quit iCal, and find the "Calendar Cache" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars. Move that file to your Desktop. After that, (I remember that I recommended this before), as long as you are moving files to the Desktop, repeat the plist removal procedure once again, log out/in or restart.
    You should also consider removing the "To Do's" from Mail before restarting iCal. When you open iCal turn off "Show Birthdays calendar" in iCal>Preferences...>General.
    Are you syncing any data? If so, what method(s) are you using?
    ;~)

  • ITunes 10, album artwork won't show on ipod 'selected item'

    The songs on my computer display album artwork fine, but on my iPod (Classic) it only displays the 'Now Playing' artwork. If I set it to show 'Selected Item' it will only show the artwork of the song playing, if it's selected. It won't show album artwork of any other songs that I select, instead it shows the 'Drag Artwork Here' image, even when the songs already have artwork.
    The artwork shows up fine when I'm playing songs on my ipod, or if I click 'Get Info', but it just won't show up in the side bar. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling iTunes and it didn't make a difference. I can't restore my ipod to factory settings because a lot of the music I have isn't backed up. Is there anything I can do?

    Strangely I was able to find help myself. I checked one box under the settings that said something like "show album artwork". Strange because it was unchecked before, I had never checked it myself and previously all the artwork was visible properly...
    When I clicked that checkbox, to my horror iTunes said something to the effect of "Deleting artwork from 'iPod'". After that it went for a long time into a "Optimizing artwork for 'iPod'" and after that wait all the artwork is shown properly. I wonder what that did...?
