Odd error - Automator can't find all ical events

Simple automator script:
Get Specified Items
(which is 1 ical Calendar)
Event Summary
(for today)
View Results
This script Is not able to find the event sceduled for today under given calendar. This problem seems to be intermitten. Normally i set it for event summary for 'This Week'. Most events are found, but some are missing from the results. I don't see any difference between the events found and missing.
I've tried instead of Get Specified Items to Find Ical Items, using the specific event summary, but it misses the same events. I figured it was maybe a spotlight indexing error, but when i search using spotlight the event is retrieved in spotlight results.
I do use .Mac to syncronize my calendars with other macs, could this be the issue? Although i'm not sure why spotlight would still work but automator not.
Anyone else having this problem or know a solution?

"Fixed"???
I can tell you where they OUGHT to be, but if the problem is that they have been moved, you need to ask your friend.
iCal keeps its data in ~/Library/Application Support/iCal, with a sub-folder in the Sources folder for each calendar. The sub-folders do not have user-friendly names! The calendar contents are in files called corestorage.ics, and if you look in the corresponding info.plist file you can see the calendar name.
You could try looking for corestorage.ics files in case they got moved to the wrong place. Alternatively, quit iCal, delete the several com.apple.iCal*.plist files in ~/Library/Preferences, drag folder ~/Library/Application Support/iCal to the desktop and restart iCal. Sometimes this reclaims the data from Sync Services.

  • My Top Rated songs, when I synch my iP4S - comes up with an error message saying it can't find all the songs. When I check, library has songs listed but with a "!" bubble next to them. When I click on them they play. What am I doing wrong?

    When synching, itcomes up with an error message saying it can't find all the songs. When I check, library has songs listed but with a "!" bubble next to them. When I click on them they play. What am I doing wrong? This happens every time so I click them and it sorts them (boring with 200 odd). How can I prevent this?

  • Had to uninstall Firefox, now I can't reinstall. Get error message "Can not find archive file." Please help!

    I believe I had some kind of virus attack. I got everything cleaned up. (I HOPE) In the process of cleaning the virus, I unintalled Firefox because it wouldn't open. Kept getting the error message that Firefox was already open and I had to close out of the sessions or restart the computer. After restarting the computer several times and not being able to find any open sessions in task manager, I uninstalled. When trying to reinstall, I get the error message "can not find archive file." I've tried downloading Firefox from cnet as well as the Mozilla site to no avail. Please help. I'm getting tired of using Chrome already!

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Where can I find my ical URL?

    I use iCloud and where can I find my ical URL?

    JdSG,
    Are you using iCal with OS X? If so, what version of OS X are you using?
    iCal>Calendar>Publish...only works with MobileMe or a private server. These publishing features are only available with "On My Mac" calendars. iCloud uses Shared calendars which are made available to all authorized devices using CalDAV. To the best of my knowledge, you will not be able to use a http url with a shared calendar.

  • Quicktime 7.0+ with Vista = error 46: can't find or load quicktime activex

    For awhile, Quicktime Pro was working on my 32bit Microsoft Vista PC that I built, then sometime around 7.1.5 Internet Explorer would no longer play Quicktime files in my browser. No biggie, but then after 7.1.6 it would not longer load at all. I keep getting Error 46: Can't find or load Quicktime ActiveX control.
    If I try launching Quicktime as the administrator, I still get the Error 46. And it just won't load. Even Sony Vegas Video won't render Quicktime files as that gives me an access violation.
    I managed to find a Quicktime 7.0.1 installer, so I deinstalled 7.1.6 and installed 7.0.1 and all was well again. The program would launch and play Quicktime files and Sony Vegas Video would render Quicktime files again.
    But as soon as I rebooted...Error 46 again...even after downgrading. Something's going on with the permissions and I cant seem to fix it.
    The one shining light with 7.0.1 is if I launch it as an Administrator it will work after rebooting. But only if launching it as an Administrator.
    7.1.6 will not do this. It will error everytime regardless of launching as an admin or not.
    Anyone have any ideas how to solve this? And does anyone know if Apple is working to solve this issue? Hopefully this isn't too limited of a bug, otherwise I might be in for a long wait for a fix.

    Hi, all
    I thought I would post the link to another thread where I got this working on my machine.

  • How can I find all exclamation marks in my iTunes without clicking on each song?  Is there a way to delete all instead of one at a time?

    How can I find all exclamation marks in my iTunes without clicking on each song?  Can they be deleted all at once instead of one song at a time?

    Lost & Found
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
    Optional: It depends a bit on why things aren't where iTunes expects to find them but if they are in sensible Artist & Album folders in some common location then my FindTracks script should be able to reconnect them to iTunes. FindTracks uses some fuzzy matching routines and searches for multiple potential locations. For more details see this thread. Once you have repaired the tracks that can be found you can drag the contents of the Lost playlist into Found which will update things.
    Or, you can simply delete all the tracks in the Lost playlist with Ctrl-A to select them and then Shift-Delete to delete.

    Hi there,
    I'm afraid I don't quite understand your question. All images are in your Library and only those you specifically select from that Library would be in an Album. What platform are you using? Revel Mac, Elements, web browser, etc?

  • WLAN driver fails to install on G580 Windows 7 x64 with error "BCM4313: Can not find setup file"

    Summary:
    I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my G580.  Everything is working fine except the WLAN driver fails to install with the error "BCM4313: Can not find setup file".
    Details:
    I bought lenovo G580 with Windows 8.  Since my parents are not comfortable with the learning curve of Win 8, I successfully downgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate x64.  Everything is working fine but my WLAN card is not recognized because of lack of driver.
    The lenovo parts look-up page says I have broadcom WLAN card - CBT BCM4313 MOW HMC WLAN
    I looked at lenovo driver downloads site and tried following driver files for Windows 7 and both of them failed to install with the following error.  I tried installing other WLAN drivers also but they won't even install as required hardward is not there.
    Error -  "BCM4313: Can not find setup file"
    Drivers Tried:

    - http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?DocID=DS028208
    Any help about how to get past this error will be appreciated.  The previous Widnows verison (Windows 8) is still on my hard-drive as windows.old folder.  Let me know if I can copy a specific file from there.
    Thank you.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Download this driver bcm4313
    Start setup and extract the files.After that go to star menu/control panel/system/device manager.There you probably find out that network adapter driver is missing.Choose it and click with right mb for drop menu to show up.Select properties then Driver/Update Drivers...Select to load driver from computer hard drive and choose the path where extract files is.Default path is main partion C: and search for directory named Driver.
    And yes...you get "Can not find setup file" error but dont worry.Files needed to instal driver are extract fine.

  • Can't add all-day events in iCal w/Lion

    After Lion 10.7.1 upgrade, I can add an all-day event in iCal on my MacBook but not on my MacBook Air.  On the Air an event added with no time just does not appear.  On the Air an event added with a time appears, but editing the event and checking the "all-day" box causes the event to disappear.

    >>Who'd have thought this was optional?
    Again... S. Jobs apparently thinks its optional.

  • After loading Acrobat XI, Facebook pages have errors.  Can't find what changed in IE8.  XP OS.

    After loading Acrobat XI, Facebook pages are blank with errors.  Can't find what happened to IE8.  XP OS.  Any suggestions?

    I agree. The Facebook failure must have been coincidental in that machine.  I have a notebook that I loaded the same Acrobat into and it's Facebook is OK - It's on Win 7 OS.  This laptop's (XP)  Facebook works, but it doesn't have the Acrobat loaded into it.  Also have a networked desktop for business on Win 2000 and it's Facebook works too.  Haven't tried another browser in the suspect machine yet.  There's definitely something wrong with it's IE8.  What it boils down to in it, is that it won't logout of Facebook properly. I have to logout on some other machine.  Then when I login on the bad one, Facebook only partially loads it's pages and I can't logout from it.
