Need to reinstall iCal and iSync

Hi
I managed to really mess up my computer but...fortunately I do have documents, etc., saved. I don't particularly want to do a complete reinstall since I seem to have most of my "stuff" back on track. BUT I simply cannot get iCal and iSync to open! I would like to install these two items fresh. Is there any way I can do that without having to reinstall the whole system again?
Thanks!

Thanks for the info about iCal! Before I try and install it, should I remove the iCal program that isn't working properly? And how do I get all the pieces of it off my computer? I didn't do a clean install of my O/S but I am beginning to think that might have been easiest.I thought before I attempted that, I'd give partial restoration a try. I also have to be very sure I've resaved what I consider precious.
I made a couple of backups with the Backup software that came with .MAC but it doesn't want to restore right. If I wipe my hard drive and start over, I don't have a way of accessing that Backup program anyway. This whole mess is more complicated than I thought it would be. <sigh>
Anyway, I think I'll search the hard drive for iCal and delete all that I find and then reinstall it from my disks to see if that works.
Thanks for your help and kind welcome!
And if anyone knows where I can find iSync, I'd be grateful for the link! Oh and my mouse doesn't want to right click either! Where would I find drivers for it? It's an attached Mighty Mouse.
Okay, I'll quit asking! I'll drive everyone off with my questions! <grin>
Thanks again!

PS: I figured the mouse problem out. I forgot about using the Preference panel to change the right button to Secondary. So it works now! <grin>

    I need to reinstall Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10 on my Windows Laptop. Where can I find the download link?

    If you registered your copy with adobe, you may find download links by going to the main page of adobe.com and clicking on My Adobe and working through the links there. If they're still available there, save the downloads this time, don't just run them, since adobe only makes those available for about 3 years.

    Do i need to reinstall programs and applications like FCP after upgrading to the new Lion OS?

    I've installed Lion over Snow Leopard and all my non Apple software is still here - you may want to check if your software will work with Lion and I would definately recommend having a bootable backup in case anything goes wrong

  • Depair...need to reinstall ical tried eveything please help

    Hi there
    I have contacted apple to sort out my issues with Ical, unfortunetly they told me that I needed to reinstall however I've only just found my original disks
    I have deleted markspace sync, Ical and my preferences
    I found the ical.pkt file on my disk but it said it was performing an upgrade??
    Ive opened the ical after this install and it quit, which is exactly the problem I have been having that Apple couldnt fix
    What else can I try
    Please help as I want to start using my new Nokia e61 with my mac and right now, I have a lot of data backed up from ical which I cant access

    If you haven't seen it yet, you might want to try the move described in the post 'iCal crashes' in this forum. It seems to work! My iCal used to crash 1 or 2 seconds after I started it, and now, after doing the things described in 'iCal crashes' it has been running for 10 minutes... So I can't guarantee any long term success, yet.

  • ICal and iSync with Treo 650 and bluetoothing

    Hello,
    I have a Palm Treo 650 with Sprint provider and I am trying to sync it with my iCal and Address Book on my MacBook Pro. I have synced the Treo with the laptop using the Cradle Cable once. When I did this, all the events from the Treo transfered straight over the Mac Pro but were deleted off the phone.
    1) How do I sync the two to have identical events, etc.?
    I have heard that my iCal can also be synced using bluetooth. I've been reading on here trying to figure it out but nothing has been able to help me yet.
    2) How do I sync using the bluetooth capabilities?
    I just signed up for a .Mac trial account to see if I had to be a member for the iCal to sync thru bluetooth but I haven't been able to figure it out. I have the Palm OS conduit installed. But I just need help answering these 2 questions if possible.
    Much appreciated!
    "locmi01" I have read a few of your posts but nothing that I found could answer my questions.

    I cannot explain why the events transfered from your Treo through the Sync Services framework where thereafter deleted if you were using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit. That should not have happened.
    In order understand synchronization under Mac OS X 10.4 and later, you should read this document:
    http://developer.apple.com/macosx/syncservices.html
    To restore the data to your Treo, you should first make sure it is present in both iCal and the Address Book, back up both datasets using the option to do so under the File menu of each application, then…
    • launch iSync
    • open the Preferences… dialog
    • press the Reset Sync History… button and follow the directions which appear
    You should opt to replace the information on your Treo when presented with the option to either merge or replace records.
    With regard to Bluetooth synchronization, you must first get USB synchronization working properly. Only then should you pair your device initiating the process from your Treo and confirming it from your MacBook, then electing to initiate a HotSync Bluetooth sync session from your device.
    Keep in mind that USB is a faster and wider path, and will result in faster, if not necessarily as convenient, synchronization.

  • Need to reinstall ical

    ical will not open anymore: "application is damaged or incomplete". downloaded ical from apple wep 1.5.5, but installation is not possible. what do i do wrong or how can i get back my ical on my mac book pro?

    Hi Terri,
    It sounds like you have a data corruption of some sort in your user data. Make a new user and try using iCal in the new user account. If this works ok then the problem is within your user account.
    If so, try these things in order to see if they will help:
    0.
    Backup you iCal data.
    Open iCal and go to the File menu and choose Back up Database... to save a copy of your calendar data to your Desktop, just in case something goes wrong.
    1.
    Refresh your preference files.
    There are some preference files related to iCal in your user's Library > Preferences. These are called:
    com.apple.iCal.alarmsCache.plist
    com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist
    com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
    com.apple.iCal.plist
    Quit iCal and move these files to your desktop. When you start iCal they will be re-created in the Preferences folder with the default values as needed. This does not affect your calendar data, just preference choices.
    You should go into iCal preferences and make any changes you want there after doing this.
    If this solves your problem there is no need to do any of the following.
    2.
    Check the calendars in turn.
    In iCal un-check all the calendars in the list. You can do this by Command-Clicking one calendar's check box.
    Then do the following with each calendar in turn: Check the calendar's check box and see if your problems still exist. If iCal seems to be ok, then un-check the check box and select the next calendar. If the symptoms still exist then this calendar is probably corrupted.
    If you find a corrupted calendar in iCal, select it in the calendar list and from the File menu choose Export.. and export a copy of the calendar to your Desktop. Still in iCal, from the Edit menu choose Delete to remove the calendar from iCal. Then from the File menu choose Import... and select the 'Import an iCal file', find the calendar file you saved to your Desktop and import it.
    (BTW The iCal calendar data is stored in your user's Library > Application Support > iCal.)
    3.
    Reset sync history.
    If you have sync'd your calendar data there may be a corruption in the data stored by Sync Services which will be passed back into iCal when it syncs next.
    Open iSync and from it's preferences select 'Reset Sync History' and in the confirmation dialog choose 'Reset Sync History' again.
    I hope this helps to solve your problems.
    Best wishes

  • Need help syncing iCal and Outlook 2011 (for Mac) THANKS!

    QUESTION: How do I sync iCal and Outlook up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    I just bought an iPhone. I am trying to get my phone and my MacBook Pro synced up through iCloud.
    I realize that I need to have Outlook 2011 and iCal set up for syncing for this to work.
    I did this at one point, and it resulted in all of my ALL DAY appointments being duplicated in Outlook, iCal, and on the calendar on my phone - and iCloud sending out duplicate invitations to events.
    Then, I turned syncing between iCal and Outlook and deleted all of the duplicates in my Outlook.
    Of course, because I haven't set up Outlook to sync with iCal, iCal and my phone's calendar have not changed. There are still duplicates there.
    How do I sync them up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can be!
    Cheers!

    My iPhone 4 was working fine, synched with Outlook 2011 on my iMac 11.02 through iTunes. Calendar changes also appeared in iCal, even though I don't use iCal - I only use Outlook. Last week I was prompted to update Outlook, which I did successfully. Today, I plugged the iPhone into the iMac to synch and suddenly all Calendar and Contact items are gone from the iPhone and in iCal on the iMac. In iTunes, the option to synch with Outlook in the Info tab ("other") is greyed out. What happened? Why can't I synch the iPhone anymore with Outlook? All the Calendar and Contact info is still on the iMac in Outlook. Help!

  • Do Need to reinstall office and iLife if i upgrade to Mac OS 10.6?

    Do i need to reinstall Office 2008 and iLife if i upgrade my software from Mac OS 10.5 to Mac OS 10.6??

    if you do the "normal" upgrade, all you apps should still be available. If you did an erase first, then you will have to reinstall them. BUT, BEFORE you do the install, create a bootable backup, just in case anything happens (very rare, but why temp fate).

  • Hard Drive Died need to reinstall Audition and Sounbooth on new SSD. Both products are registered on adobe site with s/n's

    The hard drive on my Dell died and the backup discs and external drives were useless in getting me back to normal. How do I reinstall these products or am I forced to purchase more?

    Just reinstall them, then use your serial number to activate them.
    If you already activated more than once, you may need to Contact Customer Care.

  • Need to reinstall SL and Boot Camp...

    Alright, I am tired and annoyed so this is going to be short.
    I had 10.5, I think I had a virus, or I possibly corrupted the **** out of my Safari, which, in turn, corrupted the **** out of my entire Leopard install. I used Boot Camp and installed Windows XP SP 3, along with 3ds Max. I did not have time to back up my XP files (as I am very lazy and it was only about a week ago.) After Snow Leopard installed, my Mac partition stopped working all together, then when I started Windows, it seemed to work fine, I left it go into "standby." When I went to bring WIndows out of standby, the screen flashed for a second, the BLue bar reloaded itself, then everything stopped working. I rebooted the machine and now I can't get past ether the Partition selection screen if I hold Option, or the BLue screen if I load the Mac partition.
    I have two questions, now that I think about it:
    1) If I reinstall Snow Leopard fresh, can I do that without getting rid of my Windows Partitions, or somehow recover those files after SL is installed (the windows files)?
    2) Does this sound like my HDD is failing and/or horrible virus that killed my hard-drive?

    Installing Snow will not have any impact on your Windows partition. You can erase the OS X partition if you want, and that will not cause the Windows partition to be touched. If you must erase the OS X volume to reinstall OS X, then you will not be able to recover any files. You would need to do that first.

  • Advice needed for reinstalling iTunes and restoring my library from backup

    I have some issues with my PC (Windows XP) that are not related to iTunes. But I am about to wipe my machine clean. Here is what I plan to do:
    0) Sync iPhone with iTunes
    1) De-authorize my computer with iTunes
    2) Wipe my hard drive, reinstall XP
    3) Reinstall iTunes from scratch
    4) Restore my music library (my documents) folders from an external hard drive.
    5) Authorize my computer again
    I know that authorizing the computer is necessary in order to play purchase songs. Is there anything I have do in order to use applications on the iPhone? Any steps I have missed here?
    Advice appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    You better ask this question over in the iPhone forum, too - I don't have an iPhone, so don't know where the iPhone apps are stored.
    Anyway - the first thing to do is deauthorize your PC.
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/authorization/
    Second, make sure you have a good backup of you itunes library database.
    It's the ITL file mentioned here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
    When you reinstall XP, make sure you use the same Windows username as before.
    And make sure your exHD has the same drive letter as before.

  • Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, Photoshop CC won't read the card drivers and says I need to reinstall them and disabled 3D funtions as a result. Anyone else with this issue?

       Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, I upgraded to Adobe CC and Photoshop CC disabled some filters and 3D functionality. The preference panel for Performance/Graphics Card in Photoshop CC is greyed out and inaccessible and shows this message -
    "Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry."
       I still have Photoshop CS6 installed and it still works perfectly. Anyone else with this issue? Is there a driver update for this compatable with my setup?
    OS 10.7.5
    Mac Pro 1,1
    20gb ram
    ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Card
    30" Apple Cinema HD display

    after going round with this Adobe was able to find the fix....opened the "show content" folder for the application Photoshop CC (control click on the application folder) and navigate to the sniffer file and rename it by putting a tilda ~ in front of the name..." ~sniffer ", close and open PhotoshopCC...and voila, problem solved...
