Import iCalendar: all events lose their actual owner?

We are migrating calendar events from a previous
installation of a different software into SunJES. While
I've eventually got the ical file screwed up enough so
both, the Web frontend as well as csimport do accept my
file, I encounter two problems:
First, the organizer's email address is either completely
lost (when importing via csimport), or replaced by my own
address (when importing from the Web frontend), even though
the icalendar file contains the correct addresses (including
the X-S1CS-EMAIL blurb). Why's that?
Even worse, all imported events (regardless of which import
method has been used) are no longer owned by me, so
I can display them but not change them anymore. When
I re-export them into an .ics file, I can still see my cn=
as ORGANIZER, but no email address is attached at all.
This is all regardless of which method has been used to
produce the icalendar file, even files produced by the
Web frontend's export function or by csexport experience
the same behaviour.
How to export/import events in a way to not lose any
related information?

Well, after a few hours more of experimenting, we've been
successful now.
It turns out that you cannot import anything into another
calendar than your default one. While experimenting with
the import, we've always been using a different calendar
for testing (so it could easily be destroyed again using
cscal). However, in that case, you can never get the
ID of the owner of a calendar event to match your calid,
which apparently is the basic requirement for the software
to actually accept the event as your own one.

Very IMPORTANT for all G92 Based VGA Board Owners

I had another post but since I cant find it. I have a G92 based and posted recently about getting only 6 fps, I also see post by other people with the same problem. The problem is with the PSUs.
The problem is not necesarily one of Power(amps on the rail) but something else. I called Antec and they are aware of the problem but do not have a fix yet. As soon as they do they will replace the units. It seems to be something other PSU manufactures who use the same component or OEM them might be experiencing as well. Contact your PSU manufacturer if you have an issue with your new card. It took two VGA cards, and two motherboards and a lot of forum time to diagnose.
Hope this helps.

It gives you about 6fps for about a minute and then it crashes. I have an open case with Antec and the answer from their Tech support, it is recognized by the PSU manufacturer and as soon as they fix the problem they will be replacing the Unit for all the customers having the issue.
This issue happened with my MSI NX8800GTS-512-OC and with an 8800 GT 512 (EVGA) from my friend on my PC. BOth would work perfectly on his machine.

I live in Canada. Each time I travel to the US, I lose all calendar entries. I have to erase all data, then restore from an iCloud backup. Tedious. iPhone 4, iOS 7.1, sync set to all events. Any suggestions?

I live in Canada. Each time I travel to the US, I lose all calendar entries. I have to erase all data, then restore from an iCloud backup. Tedious. iPhone 4, iOS 7.1, sync set to all events. I only use the default calendar. Do I have an incorrect setting?

I did find another point worth mentioning.
I use my iPhone 4 with a corporate Exchange email account. I had deleted the account from my phone just before I did this backup/restore process...and I thought my battery drain was much, much better (if not outright fixed).
Later in the day, after seeing my battery life improve to near-new behavior, I re-added my Exchange mail account. Considering I have 1 yahoo account and 3 gmail accounts, the Exchange account adds a 5th email account.
What happened? Battery drain back to "worst case". Removing or re-adding the Exchange account is like toggling between decent and terrible drain conditions.
Bottom line is that I re-added a couple dozen applications and battery life didn't change. By far, the Exchange account drains the battery worse than any other app and setting. This account must be polling very frequently and since people tend to send very large file attachments to that account, perhaps those effect the battery drain even though I have the account set to not download attachments.
Anyone running Microsoft Exchange might be able to confirm what I see? If so I can open an enterprise ticket with Microsoft and bug them on this issue.

If I restore an Ipad will all others that are using the same apple id lose their apps?

If I restore an Ipad that is disabled will all other Ipads using the same Apple ID lose their apps and information that is on them?

Nope. Just on the one you restore.

All items copied out of MACINTOSH lose their formatting

When I select/copy stuff from WORD to my webpage (freewebs.com), the stuff that is copied is not formatted at all - I lose the bolding, the italics, etc. Do you know whether there is a setting in the Macintosh that will retain formatting when copying outside of Macintosh environment?

It's up to every program (and file format) how formatting is stored. Webpages, in particular, are not WYSIWYG--they are plain text files that contain other visible text that says "make this bold". There is a Word setting called "preserve formatting on the clipboard" or something like that. But you'd still need the other end to work--I have no idea how or even if your freewebs.com editor can understand how formatting is stored by Word and knows how to convert it to HTML formatting. Sounds like something to ask freewebs.com technical support...

Pictures folder does not have all events in it.

I import my photos using iPhoto 11 as I use Aperture 3 and/or LR4 to edit events and/or photos. However I am unable to import newer events from the Pictures folder option that Aperture and LR4 gives one to import as all my newer events of the past 12 months do not show up in the Pictures folder. Could anyone please help me as I have been trying and reading in the forums for ways to achieve this and am unable to find a solution. I am totally frustrated!!!
Thanks for any advice.

Could you please explain your workflow in more detail? I am not sure I understand your problem yet.
I import my photos using iPhoto 11 as I use Aperture 3 and/or LR4 to edit events and/or photos.
Into which of these applications do you import your photos? Do you import into iPhoto and then edit in Aperture or Lightroom, or do you import into all of them?
However I am unable to import newer events from the Pictures folder option that Aperture and LR4 gives one to import as all my newer events of the past 12 months do not show up in the Pictures folder.
Are you expecting, that the images that you imported into iPhoto will be stored in the "Pictures" folder, and you want to import them into Aperture as well, or do you want to edit the images that you now have in iPhoto with Aperture?
I think, you may have a misunderstanding how iPhoto and Aperture work. Both are database programs that manage the image files you import. You should not try to access the managed images using the Finder and the folders with the pictures - that is risky, because iPhoto or Aperture may lose track of the image files. If you want to use an external editor to edit the imported images, use iPhoto's or Aperture's interface to external editors.
To switch between Aperture and iPhoto is very easy. Both programs can open each other's photo libraries. To edit the events that you imported into iPhoto with Aperture, simply open the iPhoto library with Aperture.
In iPhoto use the command "File > Open Library in Aperture"; to switch back to iPhoto use Aperture's command "File > Open Library in iPhoto".
Some things to consider, when switching between Aperture and iPhoto:

Iphoto recent upgrade - all Events gone. Photos there, sorted only by date. No events

Since the recent upgrade, the new iPhoto has eliminated all Events. The photos are there (I think they all are, but not sure) but there are no events, the photos are all just sorted by date (no titles/events). I had just finished organizing all Events days before the upgrade.
Not happy with this upgrade.

KEY WORDS: "until it's resolved"
Rest assured, the new Photos lack of ability to automatically add new photos as "Events" will be resolved in much the same way that many unwanted, unneeded, and for some users, workflow-crippling changes to Apple operating systems and related software are ever resolved:
1. Apple will do nothing. If few people complain through the proper channels via Feedback, the product will remain as is, and users will either eventually adapt to the new organizing schemes, or will find and use another product that better fit our ways of thinking, manipulating, and organizing our digital images, all shaped by our existing libraries of images that were in iPhoto.
-OR-
2. If enough authentic and specific complaints (in the low millions, at least) are sent promptly and directly to Apple via Feedback, and if the complaints are precise and persistent, and continue relentlessly over a period of years, then some similar capability MIGHT be added later, in some future update, in a couple of years. (Think OS X 10.13.1, "Ellis Island" or whatever geographic icon that future iteration might be named after. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to import their digital images directly into "Events" once again…)
(There are of course many other possible scenarios, none of which involve returning iPhoto to the marketplace, nor "fixing" Photos to be like iPhoto was.)
Not complaining*, simply explaining.
*Because registering outrage and frustration by complaining here in Apple Support Communities does absolutely nothing to ever resolve any issue with Apple. This is a only a user community that Apple allows to exist at it's pleasure. Apple does not officially monitor or ever officially respond to feedback here, and the moderators do not tolerate rants.

Export project and all events as backup

There is an issue with my MBP 17 and the service centre has asked me to format and re-install snow leopard.
Before I do that there is an iMovie Project (several actually) that are really close to my heart and I want to export the project, all events (videos, photos imported). I switched to Mac from PC recently and really scared how to do it.
I have been using Time Machine to backup but have a feeling it would restore the entire hard disk to the STATE it was when backup was taken and in effect nullifying the use of reinstalling OS X altogether.
Could someone please help me.
Sorry if its a basic question.

You need an external drive that is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
In iMovie click View/Events By Volume.
In iMovie go to the Project Library view.
First drag the project to the external drive in the project library list.
Then Use the File/ Consolidate command.
It will move all events, photos, music to the external drive.
Be sure to read about this command in iMovie help before proceeding so you understand the nuances.

Iphoto 9.6 .. All events lost

Well.
It seems after upgrading to Yosemite and upgrading iPhoto to 9.6 all my events are gone and the only one left is the "New Event" from today which contains 177.031 pictures.
Another "New Event" contains 15.054 pictures.
Started the new 9.6 iPhoto, accepted the library conversion .. and now back home I see that huge mess.
Not only are all events gone (except for two, over a thousand Events went "poof")
All faces are gone too.
The Library package shows the structure under "Old Masters" .. but it seems all Folders do not contain files according to the Finder.
All pictures are new in one big heap in the "Masters > 2014 > 10 > 29 / 30" folder.
I have a recent backup of the folder .. but is is in the old format (before Yosemite) and very likely the new iPhoto will again make a mess out of it.
I will start a new library and import the folders from the backup by hand so the structure aka. events is back.
And as always. Backup Backup Backup .. everything you consider important at least twice.
Still, any idea on how to restore the faces ?

Hi
I updated from the latest version to Yosemite and than downloaded the iPhoto update.
The last version had some little lag now and than but was overall stable (one of the reasons i upgraded to a new iMac from my old 27" iMac)
I used iPhoto for daily use and Aperture for more advanced stuff (rarely)
No account sharing (i am single user on all my machines without Admin rights for safety) and the library is on an external hard drive and has been there for years.
I actually have three libraries (old archive, private, work) with the private one being the biggest.
All 3 libraries are existing since the iApps came with a Mac (2004 ??) and were converted to the new version multiple times, without issue than taking quite some time.
As I am afraid that iPhoto will make a mess of the the other 2 libraries too I am now copying the Master folders to another external hard drive.
I am now trying (doing some other work) to rebuild the Library again by dragging only single folders into iPhoto from the "Master" sources.
I also discovered 4 "Recovered photos" folders containing various pictures and (strangely) *.avi files which iPhoto does not want to import.
No idea what these are, will copy them to my windows machine and take a look, maybe some old digital camera made those as the oldest pictures in the library date back to 1994.

Importing from iMovie 06, lose capture dates

When I import old iMovie 06 movies, the capture dates gets lost. Here is one of the original clips in iMovie 06:
However, after importing in iMovie 11, the capture dates are lost. I tried many variations, like import the iMovie 06 project, or cd to the *.iMovieProject directory and import the actual clips, etc.
Now, good iMovie11 clips have the capture date imbedded in the file name (as in clip-2010-03-14 hh;mm;ss.dv). However, the ones imported from iMovie 06 end up in iMovie 11 with simple names such as clip55.dv. So it's not surprising I cannot see the capture dates in iMovie 11.
So I looked inside the *.iMovieProject directory hoping to find the capture dates either in the file name or in a plist, but I couldn't (nothing in the plists below)
... Jan 23 2010 Cache/Thumbnails.plist
... Jan 23 2010 Cache/Timeline Movie Data.plist
... Jan 23 2010 Cache/Timeline Movie.mov
... Nov 8 2009 Media/Clip55.dv
etc
Finally, I opened Clip55.dv in QuickTime and looked at MovieInspector, but I could not see any capture date (similar to exif in jpegs).
So obviously I missed them. My question is where in the iMovie 06 project can I find them? If accessible, I can write a script to fix the clips imported in iMovie11 by changing their names. I tried it manually, and it worked.
Thanks in advance

Hi - Couple of things.
Click on the offending clip that you imported from iMovie in your FCP Bin and type Command + 9 to see the item properties. Either report those item properties, or if easier, take a screen shot of the item properties and post that.
Then click any where on the timeline you are having trouble with and type Command + 0 (Zero) to see the sequence settings. Either report those settings or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings window and post that.
In order for FCP to use the video without rendering, both the items properties of the source clip, and the sequence settings must match - and both must be within standard production parameters.
Also, you can click on the source clip in the FCP Bin, then control-click on the clip and select Reveal in Finder from the drop down menu. Once that file is revealed, open it in Quicktime 7 and see if if plays correctly there.
Hope this helps.

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.

i would like to be able to insure that when i import a CD into i-Tunes that all tracks from that CD go into a single file for that album in their proper order regardless of whether or not there is a featured artist on one or two tracks or whatever. i recentl;y imported an All Time Low CD into i-Tunes for my daughter and because one song featured a guest artist i-Tunes placed that song in a seperate folder and so when i synced my daughters i-Pod Touch that one track is not with the rest of the tracks form the album and has to be listened to seperately. The song is from the same album and should be where it belongs with the rest of that album so she can listen to the entire album with the tracks in the proper order. I am sure that this can be done i just don't know how.

Edit the Name of the problem song to Name [Feat. Guest]
Change the Artist of that song to All Time Low

What you want cannot be done. iTunes has its quirks, and the above is the kind of workaround needed to make the media display sensibly on any device. The article I pointed you to has others that you may find useful in future.

Is there a way to create a new Calendar that replicates all events

Is there a way to create a new Calendar that replicates all events from a subscribed calendar ? Mobile Me is great but my most important Calendar is technically in the "Subscriptions" category so it doesn't get pushed to me iPhone. I want to create a new Calendar and have it just automatically copy all the events from the subscribed calendar and keep up to date with that one.

lincolnroadjeff,
I subscribed to a Holiday calendar that I also wanted to be published, and the only workaround that I found was to export the calendar, delete the subscription, and then import the calendar.
This obviously will only work with a subscription that is not often updated/subject to change.

How do i import my iMovie event library to FCPX when the iMovie library is NOT in the home folder.

my situation:
my MBP is running two drives: a 160gb SSD that has my home folder, OS and all apps, and a 500gb HDD for data and non-essential software.
the HDD used to be my OS and home folder, so I used to run iMovie off it. but after installing the SSD, i am now running Lion off it, and it is now my new home folder.
so my iMovie events are now marooned on my ex-home folder, on what is now my HDD data drive.
I can import iMovie events no problem, as FCPX prompts for where the project files are. but FCPX doesn't prompt for the location of the iMovie events library, so how do i get those old iMovie events in?
i suppose i could copy all the events over to my SSD, then do the import, and then delete them. but that would take up a lot of space, and id rather not be copying and deleting so much data on the SSD.
is there any other way?

It is definitely to your advantage to use the FCP command to Import your iMovie Events all at once. The reason is you will not double up on space. FCP will create a hard lingk to your events so you can access them in FCP without altering the iMovie Event in any way, but without doubling the space.
So there are several ways you could approach this.
1) If you are not using iMovie anymore, you could simply move them to the iMovie Event folder at the top level of either your old drive, or any attached drive that is formatted correctly (Mac OS Extended (journaled). This would likely break any iMovie Projects that you currently have, so it is not recommended if you will continue to use iMovie.
2) If iMovie is still working, you can use iMovie to move the Events to a proper drive. Click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK in iMovie, and Command-Drag in iMovie to Movie Events to the drive you want while maintaining your project links. This option is probably only available to you if you have set up your old drive as your official Home directory.
3) As long as you set your "old" drive to be your Home Folder in OSX, you can just leave them where they are. OSX lets you have the Home folder on a different drive than your startup drive. This is not ususally recommended, but it is useful when you have an SSD. When I got my current Mac with an SSD, I moved my home folder to the internal hard drive but OSX and my Apps are on the SSD.
To do this, I followed the advice of longtime poster Pondini, who has a great website that walks you through this.
Here is a link.

ICal on my iphone 4 is NOT searching all events in my Clandar !

iCal on my iphone 4 is not searching all events in my Clandar !
I just noticed I had an Entry called "Ashu" appearing in 2009 many times all the way till date.
But on my iMac's ical when i search the entry, it shows up just fine in all days it exists in. Also on my Iphone it shows up when I actually go to the specific date. But on Searching in the ical of the Iphone by typing "Ashu" it only displays the results in 2011 and some in 2010. Nothing before.
Basically all events that exist in 2009 do not show up on the iPhone when i search for them. only show up when I go to that date.
Is it a setting to show all searches rather than just for the past year ?

I just realized I am having the same problem. All iCal events are on my iMac, but I can only view the last 12 months or so on my iPhone 4s. Searching within iCal or the main Search window on the iPhone give the same results, zero.
So when I am at the doctors and they want to know when my child last saw Dr. SoAndSo, the search on the phone shows zero, when I know this is an annual appointment.
Very frustrating. I hope there is a setting that I've just missed since I got the phone last Fall.
