Multiple probs -- can't view To Dos, Month view crashes

Using lateest v of iCal 2. Sev'l problems: If I try to open the To Dos frame, the frame space opens but just shows the right-hand side of the weekly calendar. If i try to view Month View, the entire calendar window goes glitchy with horizontal lines and the program gets glitchier still. It still works -- ccan still move among different view -- but each time there's more screen noise, on the iCal window only, and some of the buttons along window bottom disappear. I recently reloaded iCal, and have sevearl times quit, deleted all 4 ical-related prefs from my user/library/preferences folder, and logged out and back in.
any ideas or suggestions? Much obliged for any help.

Hi David,
With iCal closed, go to your user's Library>Application Support>iCal>Sources. In here are several folders with long names which each contain corestorage.ics, Info.plist and possibly some other files.
Open Info.plist in each of these folders (if you have Developer Tools installed it will open with the Property List Editor otherwise any text editor will do.) until you fiind the one whose title key is the name of the corrupted calendar. (These files are XML files if this means anything to you.) With a normal text editor you will be looking for something like this:
<key>Title</key>
<string>Your Calendar Name</string>
When you have found the correct folder, copy it's corestorage.ics file to the desktop - you'll need this to restore your data. After this delete the calendar's folder.
If you now open iCal the calendar that was corrupted will have gone from the calendar list. Drag the corestorage.ics file to below the last item on the calendar list. A dialog should open asking for a destination calendar. Choose New Calendar and click OK and then rename the calendar to what you like.
I hope this helps.

  • Multiple Libraries - Can't view photos - help!

    I created another library so that I could organize my personal photos from work photos. I imported all my photos into the second library, named it differently from the original IPhoto Library. I can view all these photos just fine. I looked up in the help section how to switch back and forth from library to library. However, this doesn't work. I cannot view all the photos from my original library. When I go to the finder/pictures, I see the original folder and everything seems to be there.
    I searched through the topics looking for this problem. I saw a lot of problems that were similar. I've tried holding option/shift/command and choosing the library. When I choose the original library I can see all the album folders that I created but there are no pictures in any of them.
    I also tried to rebuild but that is not working.
    How do I get these photos back into the original library so that I can see them in IPhoto? I am using IPhoto6. Thanks!!!!!!
    Michele

    Yes, it looks just like that. However, I don't always get the "choose library" option when pressing the option key when opening IPhoto. For some reason, I have to move the IPHOTOLibrary to the desktop (or another folder) to be able to choose the library that I want. After choosing my original library (IPhotoLibrary) it then loads all of the albums/folders that are located in the left of the window. It just doesn't load the photos in them. I haven't done anything to the original folders that were created in the IPhoto Library either. They have been left as they were originally created.

  • Can not select March in month view with out it crashing bach to home screen

    Whenever I am in calendar month view and swipe to next month, it crashes when I try to access March.  I can access March in week view however.  Any help?

    Copied from a discussion in the More Like this box on the right >>>>>
    There is a glitch with the calendar app and April 1st, 2013,  SInce that is the beginning of daylight savings time, and the true length of the day is relative, if you have any all day events on April 1, it messes with the whole month (since 'all day' can be 23, 24 or 25 hours due to the springing forward)
    Make that all day app only last a few hours and the rest of the month will show back up.

  • How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

    How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto. Version 8.1.2
    - What version of the Operating System. OSX 10.9.4
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    When I open iPhoto, only the most recent photos are shown (last 12 months)
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages? This has been going on for several weeks now. There are no error messages, but yes, I had an update in the system (QuarkXPress 10.1), and the problem has occurred from that day.
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue. I tried to find out where the problem came from, but found no solution.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto? No
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
    Thank you so much for offering help. I am not a proficient user of the system.

  • I have a Sony Cybershot camera. My problem is that I can't view my panoramic photos properly with iPhoto.  Sony says to contact Mac support. Has anyone any info on this prob, please?

    Panoramic photos. I have a Sony Cybershot camera. My problem is that I can't view my panoramic photos properly with iPhoto.  Sony says to contact Mac support. Has anyone any info on this prob, please?

    Not sure what you want - you shoot the photo by doing a sweep and the camera makes a static JPEG that is long (panaromic) and you import it - on the camera and in iPhoto is is a panaromic photo
      for example

  • Can't view raw files in Adobe Bridge CS4

    Hi,
    I bought a new iMac OS X version 10.8.5 . I have a Canon 5d Mark ii and I shoot in RAW. I installed CS4.. I also downloaded the newest version of the camera raw plug-in (5.7). I placed the plug-in in applications--> adobe photoshop CS4 -->plug-ins--> file formats.
    In Bridge, I can only view the grey thumbnail that says CR2. I can click on it and it'll open up into camera raw where I can edit some and then open it into photoshop. I want to be able to view the images in bridge to know which ones I want to open up in camera raw. Also, when I right click on the thumbnail there isn't an option that says "open in camera raw".
    Should I also place the camera raw plug-in in the applications-->Adobe Bridge-->plug-ins?
    When I click on about plug-ins on photoshop, it's showing me 2 camera raw plug-ins.. version 5.0 and version 5.7. I can't find 5.0 to delete?
    Thanks

    If you just go to Help>Updates, Bridge should take care of this for you, unless you've managed to get multiple copies of the plug-in into the folder. If you manually installed things, check to see that there is only one plug-in there, then let Bridge do it for you.

  • How can I view movies in iPad with the full screen?

    Ok, I bought two movies from iTunes on my iMac and synced them with my iPad. It went well.
    But when I play them back on the iPad, I can only view them in letterbox/portrait mode which uses only one third of the iPad screen!!! Why is this? Is there anyway I can actually utilise the other two thirds of the iPad screen to view the movie? Otherwise it kind of defeats the object of having an iPad surely?

    Hi,
    I think we are going to experience some format problems on our mobile devices,  unfortunate as that may be.
    This is caused, I think, by the video and cable providers preparing to roll out live programming through LTE
    broadband from the cell towers to multiple mobile devices and home television.  We should expect some
    bumbs along the road.
    This may be an unrelated problem:
    On my Ipad, before OS 5 upgrade, I was was able to view Xfinity, HBO Live, ABC Live and CNN Live in full
    screen using the popup full screen icon on the top right of the screen.
    After OS 5,  HBO,ABC,CNN LIVE  -  all could be viewed full screen using the popup icon.
    The popup Icon is not available with Xfinity.  Xfinity is now letterbox.   Very, very annoying!!!
    The Comcast New Products department said that engineering would fix this problem.  I sure hope they do.

  • When there are multiple users can the email files that are on the left of the screen be hidden from other users?

    There are several people who might want to use Thunderbird on a work computer but I don't like how everyone's email files are open to public view. It looks like anyone can see emails without having to login to another person's account.

    Use different Windows user accounts for each person, and set-up Thunderbird for each person's email account underneath the respective Windows account.
    It is very easy to switch between Windows user accounts, and multiple people can be logged in simultaneously.

  • How can I view all photos from a specific year?

    How can I view all photos taken in one calendar year like 2010? Is there a way to filter this way?

    Yes, create a smart album or a search with a "Date" rule or a Calendar rule.
    For example: New > Smart Album
    Add Rule:  Date
         Capture year is 2010.
    or: Add Rule: Calendar
    and click-step  the year back to 2010:
    In the Calendar it is a bit cumbersom to select a whole year, because it will only show 3 month at once. Select the first day and then scroll to to the end oft the year.

  • How can I view my Calendar on iPhone 5 in a continuous List view i.e.: View many days at a time by scrolling? Lost that ability after 7.1 upgrade.

    March 20, 2014 I updated the software on my iPhone 5 to version 7.1. After doing that, I discovered that I could NO longer view my Calendar items in a continuous list view. I can only view items I've put on my calendar under the Month view for EACH day at a time. This is Awful !  Is there ANY way I can view items in a continuous list where I can Scroll? That was available prior to this update?
    Thanks in advance for any Help and/or Suggestions.

    That helped, but still did not solve the "continous scroll" question.
    I did however discover that if you go to Search and type in a "common" letter like "s", a Continuous List view will appear.
    Any further help on how to do this as a default view would be appreciated from any and all.
    Thanks for the help and for the link paulcb.

  • Pager app that can be viewed without unlocking the phone

    I am looking for a pager app where the pages can be viewed without a person unlocking the phone or knowing the passcode to unlock.  A doctor I work for wants his pages to come through to hs phone, but he doesn't want the nurses and others who check the pages for him to be able to go through his phone and see his personal information such as texts and emails.  Is there any kind of app that would allow viewing of only the pages sent to him without unlocking the phone and giving multiple people access to any information in the phone?  Currently, he just carries a pager as well as his phone which is not ideal.  Thank you!

    Hey guy;
    I have the same problem and I do anything you can imagine. If you leave your phone about two or three days and after that plug in it your phone will be power on but your problem doesn't fix. I tried to restore as a new phone, reset all my settings and also I contacted Apple Support but I couldn't fix it. I think that it would be a software issue because it occurred right after iOS 6.1.3 update. It look likes that we have only two choice. First choice is waiting until Apple release next iOS update and check it in our phones, and the other choice is visiting an Apple retail store to diagnostic our phones for hardware issue.
