Lost iCal info

I backed up my computer, had memory upgraded, had OS reinstalled and when I synced up my iphone I lost all of my calendar info. I tried going back to Time Machine to put it back but I don't know how to do it. HELP!!!! You can email me directly at [email protected]

I really don't know what topic this would go under but maybe someone can assist me....
I recently transferred data from my older Mac to my new iMac. On my old Mac, I had iCal set up such that I created many calendars and used them as "topics" in alpha order and when I clicked on the topic, there would be an info pane next to the To Do List that would show all the info that I input that related to the topic. On my old computer, to get it I would click the view menu, and the pane would show up with all the info. I could also drag the pane so it wouldn't be seen.
I'm wondering how I can view the information that I transferred over...all of the commands are not the same and I can't figure out how to view the "text". I have about 25 categories or calendars that had as much info as I wanted to for each. I still have my older computer and it's still visible but I can't figure out how to make this visible on my new one.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Lost iCal info, Firefox Bookmarks, and Security Permissions

I came home yesterday and work up my G5 and launched Firefox. It opened as if I just downloaded it and it did not go to my homepage and all my bookmarks were gone.
That was really frustrating so I restarted my computer and then then the generic Apple screen background appeared and all my programs in my dock were gone and when I opened iCal all my dates that I had inputted were lost.
Not only that! When I wake my computer from sleep mode, it is not asking me for my password.
Any reason why this is all happening. I plan to get as much data off the main drive just in case my computer is going south but I would like to know if this has happened to anyone else and what steps you recommend I take to remedy it.
Oh, and unless I did not look in the right place I did not see the backups of the Firefox bookmarks. Bummer.

I had previously had a major problem with an Apple automatic update and went thru lots of time and trouble, especially with Safari. After more time than I wanted to spend with Applecare...finally having to do a clean install...I was told all was okay. I still had Safari problems, so I switched to Firefox and was able to import the bookmarks from the old Safari. I was assured that the Snow Leopard was worth doing and would be no problem. So much for that advice. Most everything else seems fine, but all of my data on iCal is lost, as are the bookmarks in Firefox. When I tried to pull same up from Time Machine, I get the message that the version of iCal won't work with this version of Mac OS X.
don't restore the application itself. applications themselves never contain any user data.
it's all stored in your home directory. for ical quit ical and restore the folder /users/username/library/calendars and for firefox the folder /users/username/library/application support/firefox.

Help! I synced my iCal from my old iPhone to iCloud. It worked great. I've done this because I'm switching to a Samsung phone and need to sync my iCal to my Google calendar. In attempting to do so today, my iCal is empty. How can I retrieve my iCal info??

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

HT4059 I recently lost all info on my iPad, luckily I had recently backed up on iTunes. We I restored it my iBooks didn't bring my files. I have the properly labeled files in the collections, just no files. How do I get these?

I recentlyl lost all info on my iPad, luckily I had recently backed up on iTunes. When I performed the restore, everything came accross except my iBooks pages. I have the proper files in my collections, but the information in the files is not showing up.
How do I get this lost information back?

A backup doesn't contain any of your iTunes downloads or the contents of the Music, Videos or iBooks apps. If they are ibooks and they are still in the store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app. If they are PDFs and/or epubs from other sources then do you have copies of them anywhere e.g. are they in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library or elsewhere on your computer ?

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop today, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.
Not only is LR messed up, it deleted my day's shooting. Can't believe that.
Now it won't import (i.e. re-import) half my files.
Imported half, but had errors importing rest.
Corrupt catalog?
When I try to import the folders, it recognizes that they are in the catalog (I have "don't import duplicates" turned on).
After running through all the folders, it says, "Nothing to Import."
Any help?
Best,
Peter

Thanks dj_paige.
I installed a plugin, coincidence makes me thinks this might have cause a LR4.4 crash.
After rebooting my windows 7 laptop, LR had lost record of half my directories on the external drive, as seen in Library Module.
In Windows Explorer, the folders and images are still there.
I tried recovering the lost folder references in LR by doing an import on the external hard drive again.
It took about a half hour to run.
There was a report screen at the end of the process that said that LR was unable to import something like 1500 images.
I did not save the report screen. Maybe it is part of a log file somewhere to give you what it exactly said?
I do not profess to understand how catalogues work under the covers.
I only use one catalog at this point.
My guess is at this point I should de-commission the catalog (whatever it takes to do that - delete it, etc.) and just do a new, fresh import on my images.
I don't feel I lose anthing this way - I can't see where I would lose anything important. About 5-10% of the RAW images were processed and exported to jpg, just for web use for casual viewing. The jpg's are all still on the external hard drive.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter

Lost Song Info

OK, here's my situation:
I have Windows XP. I realised that no album artwork was showing on my iPod nano, even though it was on iTunes (most up-to-date version). This was because the error with the "Chkdsk" thing kept appearing. After I ran that, nothing changed, but after I'd changed some setting somwhere, I thought I'd fixed the problem. But I had to stop partway through the operation so only some of it came up on the iPod.
However, when I went back to it, I somehow accidentally deleted all song info (artist, album, album artwork etc) and now all that appears on both the iPod and iTunes is the song title. This is the case in "iPod", "Purchased" and "Library" sections. Nor is it on my hard drive.
Is there an easy way to retrieve all lost song info quickly and easily?

How many songs are you talking about? You can enter the information yourself for each one if you're up to it. Right click on the song file, then choose get info. On the second tab "info" where everything is probably showing up unknown, you can type in the information. I'm sorry I really don't know of another way to do this if the program can't ID the song to search the internet for details.
Are these whole albums or individual songs? If they're albums, you could burn them to a CD and then rip them into Windows Media Player. You'll get an option to search for the album info. online before you rip the CD. You can enter the artist or album name and let Windows Media Player find the correct song details, then Windows Media Player will enter the info into all of the columns for you. Once you have these albums ripped in Media Player, you can re-import them into iTunes and the tags will be there. (Just make sure you rip using mp3 so you don't have to go through a conversion process to bring them into iTunes.) Album art doesn't transfer from Windows Media Player to iTunes. You'll have to hand add this.
I don't rip in iTunes so I don't know how the program tags unknown albums. If iTunes can search for and add tag information to unknown albums--skip the Windows Media Player step and just re-rip everything in iTunes.

ICal info window does not support html?

Greetings,
I have exported several files from WebCalendar (http://webcalendar.sourceforge.net/) to ICal and found that the "info" window views the html as code and not as actual content. I looked about for an option to possibly enable this, but I can't seem to find it. I'm suspecting ICal does not support this function.
Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated.

OK, got that thank you.
If I understand the iCal specification correctly, this is not a compatible ics file. The contents of the DESCRIPTION should be text, not requiring interpretation. Your sample includes html tags - a browser will interpret them rather than display them, but ics files should just have plain text. So iCal is correct in showing you what it gets, rather than attempting to interpret the html markup tags.
You need to find a way for your webcalendar to export the file without markup. Note that you can't put a link (as you are attempting) in the Notes (DESCRIPTION) field - it will just be displayed as text. Even if you put something in the URL field, you can't directly click it, you have to click on the URL label and select go to location.
So, in short, the answer to your original question is that iCal info window does not, and is not supposed to, support HTML.

TS4062 we have 2 different iphones. When we are synching, the contacts and ical interfere and we end up by having all our contacts and ical info mixed together.

we have 2 different iphones 4 and iphone 4s. Why when we are synching, the contacts and ical interfere and we end up by having all our contacts and ical info mixed together?

Well are you syncing them with the same acount? Are you syncing them to the same source? If you are both syncing the iCal on the same computer then you are going to end up sharing all the entries. You need two differnt AppleId's and user ID on the comuter you are syncing to if you want everything to stay seperate.
