KEYCHAIN made my iCAL gone!

somehow, i changed my keychain without careful thought.
my iCAL, internet setting, favorites and everything is gone now.
unfortunately, i didn't back up my iCAL.
is there any way to recover my all diary in iCAL?
HELPPPPPPPPPP

thank you for your concern..nsxstorm.
first of all, i reorganized my folders. cleaning up and rearranging..
then, when i tried to log into one of my email accouts, window popped out and it said i need to confirm my keychain....which never happened before.
so i reset my keychain.
then, eventually, all settings went back to default.
my internet favorites, background setting, address book.....all gone...empty.
now i don't care about other things but I put so much efforts into iCAL.....didn't backup before but hoping that there are some way to get those back???

A few Serious Improvements to be made in iCal

What is really needed: TEXT LAYOUT, Fonts and Bold/Italic/Underlines/Colors, etc. This is totally essential. It cant be considered professional until it has those basics. For example, if a particular event has a list of 5 items, I cant even get those 5 items to show up aligned to the left of the event bubble!
The ability to write comments in the day without creating a new event.
Multiple layout: 2 columns of 3 and 4 days for example would make more space for text (the column of 3 days would have the month calendar on top). This is a quite common calendar layout.
A more classic look, I dont need colours gradients on my calendar and fancy shapes, nor automatic colours inversions when I click on an event. An almost black and white calendar would do fine: as long as I can change my text layout and use the fonts I wish.
(feel free to add.)
Thanks,

You're right, iCal is well suited for creating calendars for presentation purposes.
You should let Apple know what you think here:

Ical gone!

I have just accepted a beta invite for ical on mobile me.. but now i have lost all calendars and syncing of calendar on my phone? Anyone else had this?

I have no idea what might have happened to it. Perhaps you moved it somewhere by mistake? Did you try searching for it?
Anyhow, you can use Pacifist - http://www.charlessoft.com/Pacifist.dmg - which will allow you to open the Leopard installer and just choose iCal for installation.
After you have done that, you will need to check for Software Updates and apply these.

ICAL GONE AWALL

All my Ical appointments have randomly changed there times. My hole weeks schedule is F**&^ked!!! Can anyone help?

When you mean frozen, do you mean you are unable to type in the events at all? if so, You can try pulling your preference file.
If you open up you're hard drive (MACINTOSH HD)
-go into your users folder
-go into the user YOUR in *house icon*
-go into your LIBRARY folder
-go into your preferences folder
-in there you'll see a bunch of com.apple.ical.plist
-take out anything that has ical and trash it. that should get it working again. make sure the app. is closed.
IF that doesn't fix it, I'd say reinstall the application.

Ical gone blank

My ical has just lost everything - no calendar lists, no entries, nothing.
Macbook OSX 10.6.8
I've tried to follow similar threads on ths subject but with no luck. The Applications Support folder does not contain ical - maybe this is a software version difference from what I've read elsewhere?
I do have a month old backup on an external drive (the latest one was evidently after the calendar loss) but don't know how to restore it - new to Macs but would prefer to recover what has disappeared.
Any ideas?

You should have a folder Calendars in your Home folder's Library. Is it there? What happens across a restart? What happens if you delete the com.apple.ical.plist from Preferences in your Home folder's Library?

ICal ALL Events Gone PLEASE HELP

Hello... Need urgent help! One afternoon I was finishing up work and closed everything as normal... in the morning, ALL the events on iCal were gone... just disappeared. I have a blackberry 8350i and figured there was a mishap between the two so I brought a 12" I also have only to find out that all the events there were gone too; and I never sync the BB with the 12". Both PB's were synched with my iPhone without any problems ever. Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks in advanced.

Hey Ferd,
So you think there is something corrupted in the BB that made the iCal erase the whole 09? One thing is for sure, the data in the BB is intact. All events there seem to be fine and yet it won´t sync with iCal (I use PocketMac because when this BB came out there was no other option to sync with mac). In fact, I've been trying to sync with a PC but I haven't had the time to seat down to spend a whole afternoon trying to figure out Win Vista... so far "I think" I managed to backup the calendar and contacts but not really sure. Still trying to find an app to sync with... maybe that way I can make a backup to use with iCal. Do you know of any other way to sync the BB with another app in either mac or pc to do this???
I have a time machine backup from june 29th which I used this morning. I boot from the Leopard dvd and restore from that date but didn´t remember that the applications were on the exception list. One thing, though, when the restore was finished, iCal displayed the reminder window with a bunch of the events... but since I had no apps i couldn´t say if everything was there. My intention, now that I think of it, is to go back to that backup, find the iCal software somewhere and install it to see what´s in there. If there´s everything, needless to say I´ll just make a backup, save it and restore again to the latest.
I was trying to restore from .ics files but just realize they have to be .icbu... hence the gray.
Right now I'm downloading the Combo Update to see how it goes.

Keychain items- GONE!

This is the first real issue I've had with my Mac. That being said, when I whet to check my email using Entourage and I was prompted to enter my password ??? That was a first. When I did it would not allow me to save it to my Keychain. I went to the Keychain application everything was gone. All passwords for all applications and websites were gone. The only change made in the last few days was installing Safari 3 beta. Any ideas?
I know that this is not a HUGE issue, but I'm not comfortable with things just disappearing and changing without reason. That's why I dumped Windows!

If none of the posted solutions or the article resolved your problem, try this. Login to the Saidi account, select System Preferences->Accounts->unclick the lock, using the Saidi password, delete the Home account, selecting the save data option (that will put it into a disk image and save in /Users/Deleted Users/. Now, create a new admin account using the same username/password combination on the deleted account. Click the lock, log out, and back into the newly created account. Launch NetInfo Manager.app in /Applications/Utilities/, select Users->the new account, click on the lock, and change its user ID (UID) from 503 to 501, and save the changes. Mount the disk image in /Users/Deleted Users/ by double-clicking on it, double-click the mounted volume on the Desktop, create a new folder on your Desktop and name it RecoveredItems, and drag everything from the mounted disk image to the new folder. Then, slowly restore your stuff. When you have every thing back in place, unmount the image, and delete the /Deleted Users folder.

Auto-generated birthdays [Address Book - iCal] issues with Mac OS X 10.4.4

Substantial changes were made to iCal, the Address Book and to Sync Services with the release of the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update. Clearly, not all of the results were intended.
The automatically generated Birthdays calendar has presented at least two issues in my configuration:
Just before installing the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update, the birthdays appeared in iCal as expected but, immediately afterward, none appeared at all. They were still embedded in my Address Book records, and the action of cutting and pasting just one of them in an Address Book record resulted in the immediate propogation of all of them again in iCal. Great. Obviously, there is now a system-level problem with the data interchange between the Address Book and iCal. This phenomena has only surfaced since the application of the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update.
This evening, I noticed that birthdays were no longer displayed in iCal following a synchronization, though the calendar remained intact . Stranger yet, they had all been removed from the matching Address Book records which generate these entries: every one of them! I believe that a Sync Services issue caused their removal, and it is for that reason alone that they no longer appeared in iCal.
Resetting the contact records alone using .Mac as the source did no good. Not only are they not visible on the .Mac address book pages, birthdays data is also apparently not retrievable. Hmm - passed through, but not stored. Not good.
I was able to revert to a 3-day old, almost identical record set, and all of the 'restored' records with birthdays instantly had a matching iCal entry in the Birthdays calendar.
All I can say is: back up. And, back up often. [I had used the Back up Address Book… option under the File menu, so restoring them was a rapid and painless process.]
I wonder when we will see a maintenance update to Sync Services, the Address Book and iCal?

My wife's mini had a similar issue. She upgraded to 10.4.10 and her sound stopped working. She would also get the login screen freezes. Where her computer is located, turning off Airport is not an option, and the sound issue is very frustrating. I helped her restore her entire computer from a 10.4.9 backup she had made just a couple days before, and while the lockup problems are gone, the headphone jack still will not output sound. Just two pops when you plug the speakers in, and that's it. I've tried resetting the PMU with no luck. I hope Apple fixes whatever it is they screwed up, and soon. I won't be applying 10.4.10 to any of my other machines.

Can I the same alert sound be used in iCal and on iPhone calendar apps?

Maybe I'm getting old and having a plethora of blips and bleeps going off all day is making me wonky, but it's begun to drive me mad that iCal on my MacBook Pro and Calendar on my iPhone use, by default, completely different sets of alert tones. I'm trying to, which I realize may be a futile endeavor (of which, if you have certainty, please don't hesitate to pipe up.), get as many sounds as possible in like programs to be the same. I think it would solve every problem in life (yes. every. single. one.) if I was able to hear my computer blip from the other room, my iPhone blip while pedaling thru traffic and know "a-hah, I need to check my Calendar to see what's up!" rather than "was that 'whistle' a Calendar reminder or a Reminder reminder?... oohhh I can't remember", because my simple brain has been Pavlovianly trained to associate that single sound with one meaning only. This, to me, sounds far more pleasurable than some syntho-digital cacophany resulting from each app and application vying for it's own unique style and the resultant uncertainty over whether or not I need pay attention or note to myself to later just turn the sound off. Thanks & enjoy your waffles!

Cannot get iCal calendars from Mobile Me back on laptop and iPhone

After completing the latest MobileMe upgrade, I lost all my iCal information on my laptop. I was relieved to see it still on MobileMe online, but now I cannot get it back onto my laptop. Have tried through System Preferences MobileMe sync from MobileMe back to laptop many times to no avail. I have also attempted to recover through Preference within iCal, but I do not have the appropriate "Account URL" to set up a new account. How do I find my account URL or get my iCal information back on my laptop. Thank you

Greetings,
Backup your calendars before you do anything else.
Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4226Go to "backing up data" and then "Backing up from me.com/calendar"
2. Go to Apple > System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync and remove the check mark for Calendars -- this is no longer necessary as calendars do not sync with the new MobileMe calendar.
3. Once you have backed up your calendars for safe keeping follow this article to add your calendars to iCal (be sure to delete any pre-existing MobileMe entries you may have made in iCal > Preferences > Accounts): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
Cheers.

My iCal just totally went on the fritz. Please help me restore it.

After years of use, all of a sudden my iCal went on the fritz today. Tools would appear and disappear and could not be selected (eg. Month, Week, Day); the to-do list disappeared; calendars in the list of calendars at the top left would appear and disappear and could not be selected; I could not add a new event. The monthly calendar at the bottom left would appear and disappear but fortunately I would allow me to move to a different week so that I could view the events in my calendar, but not move, change, delete, or add events. I could not export.
Apparently the problem is in my user files. I created a new computer account, logged into that account, and iCal worked fine there.
I am using iCal 3.0.8 and OS X 10.5.8.
I tried trashing Home/Library/Caches, and also all the caches in Home/Library/Calendars/ , and also Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ical (all of them). Upon restart, the problems are still there.
I do not have a backup of iCal files per se. I do have a Time Machine backup of my computer files. I tried bringing back a previous version of all the files in Home/Library/Calendars, but that did not work.
I guess I need somehow to clean up the base iCal file. Frankly, I don't know where that is. I thought that the Home/Library/Calendars/ folder was the place that iCal used, since it has a folder for each calendar with an info.plist file on the particular calendar's name, color, etc., and then an enclosed folder with a file for each event and to-do item for that particular calendar. However, it appears that this is not true and there must be some other master file location, which just populates the Home/Library/Calendars folder for convenience. For example, when I created a new account on my computer and ran iCal, if I created calendars and events in the program, and then quit the program and deleted a calendar from the Home/Library/Calendars folder or deleted a particular event from the Events folder inside the Home/Library/Calendars calendar folder, I found that when I restarted iCal, it still had the calendar and event, and recreated them inside the Home/Library/Calendars folder. Similarly, if I added to the Home/Library/Calendars folder on the new computer account one of the folders for a calendar and events I have from my existing account, they do not appear when running iCal. Thus, there must be some other place where the data for the iCal program resides.
I would desperately like to get the program working again, with all my data intact. Is there some way that I can "clean" the base file, and bring in the data again. If not, what files do I need to bring back from TimeMachine to restore iCal to its condition from an earlier time when it was working? I know that it is not enough to just bring in the files from Home/Library/Calendars.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear John,
Thank you again for your thoughts and help.
I tried restoring from the backup created earlier, but that did not work. Apparently, the backup is also corrupted. When I did a restore, iCal just hung. It appears that the data was imported, but then something prevented it from finishing. When I restarted iCal, I now had double entries for each event, and the same problems with the program not working.
However, after many troubleshooting attempts, I have finally got the program working and restored data from TimeMachine from a week ago. Here is what I learned. (Please give me the benefit of your thoughts on all of this):
There apparently is some file (probably associated with iSync) that stores all of the data in iCal. It may be the case that there is one file which stores the calendars, and a separate one which stores the events for those calendars. The data is also found in the Home/Library/Calendars folder. It appears that on system startup (without even starting iCal), if the system does not detect the Calendars folder, it creates a new one, and populates it with default "Home" and "Work" calendars with no items in them. However, the system then goes on to check the background database (iSync?) and if there is calendar data there, it adds those calendars and the events in those calendars to the Calendars folder. (Therefore, the data in the database is in some location other than the Calendars folder, because even when everything is deleted from the Calendars folder, trashed and emptied, the system recreates all of the data, repopulates the Calendars folder with the data, and it appears in iCal.) Thus, it appears that if there is no Calendars folder initially, the system does two things on startup (or other sync event): (1) create "Home" and "Work" calendars, and (2) import all other calendars and their associated events from the sync database into the Calendars folder and make it available to iCal.
If changes are made in iCal to add events, etc., but the info in the Calendars folder is deleted before a system restart (or other sync event), on a restart with a blank Calendars folder, the new Calendars folder is repopulated with the calendars and events from the database, but does not include the new events. On the other hand, if changes are made in iCal to add events, etc., and the Calendars folder is then left alone through a restart, it appears that on the shut down there is another syncing that takes place--this time the new data added by iCal to the Calendars folder is now added to the database. Thus, after the restart, if you delete the Calendars folder, and restart again, the system recreates the Calendars folder, and the added events are now there.
If I create a new user account, and replace the Calendars folder with a copy of the Calendars folder from my existing account, and then restart, the system again compares the Calendars folder with the database (blank). Since the database started with no information, it creates a "Home" and "Work" calendar in the Calendars folder. However, it also adds the calendars and entries that are in the Calendars folder to the database. I know it is now there because if I delete, trash, and empty the Calendars folder, and restart the computer, the Calendars folder is now repopulated with all of the data from the database.
So, as best I can tell, on system startup (or other sync event?), the system compares the database and the Calendars folder. If there is nothing in the Calendars folder, the system creates "Home" and "Work" calendars. If there are other calendars in the database, and they are not in the Calendars folder, the system creates the calendars and their events in the Calendars folder from the database and they are now available to iCal. When using iCal, changes that are made, such as adding or deleting events or calendars, are reflected by immediate changes to the files and folders in the Calendars folder. However, it appears that the database is not changed immediately, at least with regard to added or deleted events. (I am not sure whether adding or deleting a calendar affects the database immediately or not.) On system shutdown (or other sync event), the system again compares the database and the Calendars folder, and updates the database with the changes made to the Calendars folder.
What I think happened in my case is that somehow the database lost the identity of my calendars. It had the events (in their proper colors), but did not have the calendars themselves. This caused iCal to freak out. When I removed the Calendars folder and started over, the system created "Home" and "Work" calendars (and "Birthdays" subscription calendar), and then brought back in all the old events again from the database. On running iCal, there were "Home", "Work" and "Birthdays" calendars in the calendar list, but none of the names of the other calendars. However, all the events were still there. This again caused iCal to freak out.
When I tried restoring the iCal backup file, apparently the same corruption problem existed in the backup file. So it added all the events in again without a calendar reference (although in the correct colors), but never cleaned up -- since the restore never finished--it just hung. The result was that iCal now had two copies of each event, but still was not working because all of those events were somehow not properly associated to a calendar.
I then tried deleting the Calendars folder and resetting iSync. That worked wonders. Resetting iSync apparently cleaned out all of the events from the database. However, it did not clean out the seven calendars I had before. Rather, it now made them able to be recognized by iCal. When I then ran iCal, all of the calendars I had before showed up in iCal, but there were no events in them. (That is why I think there is one database file which identifies the calendars that the user is currently using, and a separate database file which stores the events. Resetting iSync cleans out the events database, but does not change the list of calendars that the user is currently using.)
Having apparently cleared the database of its problems, I then tried restoring with the backup file again. Unfortunately, that did not work. It really appears that the backup file is corrupted. The restore only brought back the same problem-- the events were brought back without any associated calendars, and iCal did not work.
So, I reset iSync again to clean out the database, trashed the Calendars folder, used TimeMachine to bring back a former copy of my Calendars folder, and restarted. I ran iCal and it recognizes all of the calendars and the events that were in them. I restarted again. (That apparently updated the database.) I deleted the Calendars folder. I restarted again. The system now recreated the Calendars folder from the database--adding a "Home" and "Work" calendar.
So, I think there is a two-way synchronization between the database and the Calendars folder.
Ultimately, the resolution to my problem would be:
(1) reset iSync to clear the database
(2) delete the Calendars folder
(3) restore a previous version of the Calendars folder from TimeMachine
(4) restart
(5) iCal runs fine, using the data brought back from TimeMachine
(6) restart again to sync the data to the database.

Events in iCal are duplicated on my iPhone

Changes made to iCal on my phone (moved or added events) are not getting synced to my iCal on my desktop though I have "sync Calendars" checked in iTunes. Meanwhile on my 3S phone, I am getting events showing up in duplicate or triplicate even.
Example: Today I changed the date of an event that was scheduled for the 16th to the 17th, while on my phone. I synced when I came home, but the event still shows up on the 16th in iCal on my desktop.
Example: Two days ago I changed the time of a class (repeating event) I'm teaching this summer from a 4pm start to a 430 start using iCal on my desktop. Now my iPhone shows two events, one at 4pm and one at 430, for every class session.
Twice now I have selected Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone: Calendars without it solving the problem. The multiple events still stay on my phone.
Last week I had to migrate my user profile from my Time Capsule to a friend's machine while mine was in the shop. Afterwards I backed up the current copy of my profile on the TC, then erased my profile on my machine, and migrated the new copy in. I don't know if this is related but the issue with events not copying over to iCal from my phone properly did start last week I think.

All Day Events ( banner events ) will not show in iCal and Web Cal

I have iCal Server working for the most part. I am having issues with the Web Calendar not showing the all day events that are made in iCal on that group calendar. Non-All Day events show on both the iCal on the client computer and on the Web Calendar. Also events can be added and edited by multiple users.
If I make and all day event on the Web Calendar, it does not show up on the iCal client. If I make an all day event on the iCal client it does not show in the Web Calendar.
I made a banner event on the Webcalendar. One user could see the event in his iCal, I could not. He changed the status to "All Day Event" then the event disappeared from the Web Calendar, and showed up in my iCal.

Same problem here! Apple should really get their act together if they are serious about groupware and their server software; all-day events are a crucial part of a calendaring system!
I wonder if Apple actually use their own software? I can't imagine that they'd let this one go on unsolved for this long

ICal (4.0.4 (1395.7)) on Mountain Lion 10.6.8 on MacBook Pro 13" not synching correctly to iPhone 3GS

iCal has stopped synching calendars correctly with my iPhone 3GS. I am syncing via iTunes, not via the cloud; I have the latest patches for Mountain Lion; I cannot upgrade the machine's OS, because I need Rosetta. The iPhone is running the latest version of iOS Apple has pushed, but this began a couple of patches ago - I was holding off on the latest because of Reasons, and upgraded hoping the upgrade would fix it. It didn't. I also have the latest version of iTunes for Mountain Lion.
Symptoms:
No appointments made on the phone, in any calendar, make it into iCal. (I have five calendars that used to sync; all stopped at once.)
Old appointments made in iCal before this started happening still sync correctly from iCal to the phone.
New appointments made in iCal sometimes make it onto the phone, and sometimes do not. I haven't been able to detect a pattern.
When new appointments made iCal do make it onto the phone, they are correct, except that there is always a second ghost appointment also created, only on the phone, called "New Entry." It will have the same time and date information as the actual appointment, and be listed as the correct calendar, but will contain none of the associated appointment data.
I have tried:
Upgrading phone to latest iOS version
Desyncing all calendars from phone, then resynching them.
Telling iTunes to overwrite all calendar data on sync. (I know this actually happened, because appointments I'd made on the phone which had not synched disappeared after overwrite was initiated.)
Resetting phone to factory and reapplying everything from scratch. (This was the most recent action, two weeks ago, was a huge pain.)
None of these resulted in any change in observed behaviour.
What is new in the last few days is that until now, all iCal appointments had been making it to the phone, so as long as I made the appointments in iCal first, I could at least know of them while in the field. Alas, that is no longer the case.
Any ideas?

Sorry, it says "New Event," not "New Entry." My bad.

ICal calendar groups on iTouch 2G?

The calendar groups that I made in iCal on my macbook are not showing on my iPod touch. Is it true that I can only select one calendar or all on the iPod? Not some at a time using calendar groups. Am I missing something or is this feature not supported by iPod Touch 2G, OS 3.0? (I'm using iTunes 8.2.1)

I've checked all calendars in iTunes (told iTunes to sync 'all calendars'). I can view all the 'calendars' on the Touch. I can't view 'calendar groups' however. Note that in iCal's File menu are two different commands 'New Calendar' and 'New Calendar Group'. It's the second one that I don't see anywhere on the iPod - that's what I need for organizing everything in my life.
Thanks,
I want to check that such a feature really is missing from the iPod touch before I head to the Apple feedback page to tell them what I need in their next update.

KEYCHAIN made my iCAL gone!
