Lost my iCal data and bookmarks with a Time Machine migration

I needed to reinstall my OS (due to a partitioning issue). i didn't have room on my re-partitioned hard drive to restore everything, but I did restore my apps. No when I open foxfire I don't have any bookmarks, and iCal doesn't have any of my calendar data. Is that data stored somewhere else on the time machine back-up? Or did I loose it because I didn't export my bookmarks and back-up my iCal data before I reinstalled?
Thanks,
Nancy

none of user data for any applications is ever stored in the applications themselves. it's always stored inside user's home directory. that's what you should have restored, not the applications. specifically, ical data is stored in /users/username/library/calendars and firefox data in /users/username/library/application support/firefox. see this link for more info

  • I deleted my ical info and i have no time machine

    i deleted my ical info and i have no time machine...can i retrieve it

    Do you back up to a web service like MobileMe or Gmail? Is the iCal info on any other iOS devices? (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch)?

  • Importing iCal events and Address book from Time Machine

    How does one import only iCal events and Address book items from a backedup version of Lion using Time Machine for a backup residing on an external HDD?

    See my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/entouragemigration.html
    Note, you will have to launch Entourage to get the data out into a format that Mail and Addressbook and iCal can then import.

  • I have lost my calendar data and am having a hard time retrieving it from Time Capsule. Can anyone help? I am using Mountain lion OS

    I have lost my iCal data and am having a hard time retrieving it from Time Capsule. I am using Mountain Lion OS om iMac. Can anyone help?

    You cannot see it because it is hidden.. one of those great things apple does.. if it is hidden in your Mac then it will be hidden in the Time Machine Backup.
    You will need to restore the entire folder to a different location.. and unhide it.
    There is some info here about restoring particular files or folders.
    http://pondini.org/TM/16.html
    And some info from Lion which should also relate to Mountain Lion.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3231381?start=0&tstart=0
    There is stuff about recovery near the end.
    One wonders sometimes when Apple make these decisions if they ever think about what happens when something goes wrong. Hiding files..???

    If you have a back up in iTunes, you can restore from that back up. The article below will assist with getting that backup restored.

  • Converting part of the string to a date and subtract with sysdate.

    HINT! In order solve this you must know how the pnr is assembled. Study this:
    650323-5510, we only need the first six characters. They inform us about when the person (car owner) was born. In this case it is 23 Mars 1965. You have to use several oracle built-in-functions to solve this. Hint! Begin by converting part of the string to a date and subtract with sysdate.
    select to_char(to_date(cast(pnr,'YYMMDDMM'))) from car_owner;
    please what am i doing wrong. i need the result to be something like this
    Hans, Rosenboll, 59,6 years.

    Hi.
    The main problem here is you have only last two digits of year. That could be the problem in a couple of years from now, when somebody born after 2k would get in to your database. For now if we ignore this problem the right solution would be :
    <code>
    SELECT months_between(trunc(SYSDATE),
    to_date('19' || substr('650323-5510',
    1,
    6),
    'YYYYMMDD')) / 12 years_old
    FROM dual
    </code>
    Suppose you are expecting the age of the car owner as a result above code will give you that. One again notice the '19' I appended.
    Best regards.

  • I was setting up an iPad Mini and it updated my iMac's OS. It reverted to 2011 and I have lost emails, desktop data and Adobe won't let me in to software. Help!

    I was setting up an iPad Mini and it updated my iMac's OS. It reverted to 2011 and I have lost emails, desktop data and Adobe won't let me in to software. Help!

    The iPad was plugged into the iMac to transfer apps etc and asked to update the macs OS. The result is that the last 12 months of emails have gone ( emails not working) as have whatever files were on the desktop. The calendar has also reverted to 2011.
    Worse still is adobe software I use for work won't let me open.
    Any ideas?

  • Each time master data full load removes previous data and load with new ?

    We load company code (0COMP_CODE) master data (full load).
    1st day, we check company code master data, the record count is 150, 2nd day, the record count is 90.  It sounds like the master data full load each time would clean the previous data and load with new data, am I right?  If what I guess is right, then what setup is controlling this?
    Thanks

    I dont think it does cleanup.
    MD records in the new load simply overwrite the records already present in the master data.
    I mean if same record comes again its overwritten.If new record it gets added.
    I wouldnt expect number of records to reduce drastically from 150 to 90.
    Maybe before MD activation records could be more(as there will be both M(modified) and A(active) records).
    cheers,
    Vishvesh

    Can somebody help me?

    First of all, we are not Adobe.  This is a user to user forum.  We are consumers just like you. And I have arthritis, too, although not severe.
    Now let's see if we can help you resolve your problem.
    Where was it purchased from?
    Was it downloaded or was a disc purchased?
    What is your operating system?
    Is it version Photoshop Elements 13?
    Did you use a redemption code to get a serial number?
    Did you sign in/activate?
    Did you create an Adobe account?

  • How to get both OTF data and spool at a time

    Hi Experts,
        My requirement is to get both OTF data and spool.
    In 'OPEN_FORM' i tried passing itcpo-TDGETOTF = 'X'. itcpo- TDNEWID = 'X'.
    I was able to get OTF data but spool is not getting generated.
    IF i pass only itcpo- TDNEWID = 'X'. the spool is getting generated but not OTF data.
    when both the fields are set i.e. itcpo-TDGETOTF = 'X'. itcpo- TDNEWID = 'X'.
    the spool is generation is getting supressed.
    Similarly when i tried to get OTF data by passing itcpo-TDGETOTF = 'X'. to 'OPEN_FORM' as i need to convert it to PDF and send it to vendors as email ,
    The print preview in TCODE ME23n was not getting generated for 'MESSAGE' option 'External send'.
    Please suggest me how to get both OTF data and spool at a time.

    Hi Kartik,
    This one is similar to my question to print and email invoice at same time.  I pass itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X' in order to get otfdata and send email with the attachment of otfdata.
    Now I have data in otfdata, but when I call print_otf function, I clear out itcpo-tdgetotf, and passed
    itcpo-tddest = device_type but I still get error message said 'Handler not valid for open spool request'.
    Can you give me a working example that you have otfdata table and print data from that table.  I also post my question on other thread
    submit report and export to memory
    thanks

  • MDX to get last date MEMBER associated with a time LEVEL

    Hi there,
    I need to come up with a MDX calculation in my cube that takes an average 90 days forward from the last date member associated with whatever time level is being viewed in a time hierarchy.  Is this something anyone could help me with?  I can come
    up with code that is specific to a level (Year, Month, Week) but not one that is dynamic.
    Best,
    D

    I don't know exactly what you want from me.  I have a Time dimension with Year, Semester, Quarter, Month and Date.  I want to be able to get to the last date associated with a time member. So, for example, I would want to derive like this...
    October 31, 2014 would get to October 31, 2014
    October 2014 would get me to October 31, 2014
    Quarter 3 would get to to September 30, 2014
    Semester 2, 2014 would get me to December 31, 2014
    2014 would get me to  December 31, 2014
