Oh where oh where have my calendars gone?

I am running Calendar v6.0 (1648) on two different machines running 10.8.4. For some reason, Calendar will not display my Gmail calendars on my rMBP no matter how I configure the CalDAV account...I have spent 8 hours on this problem, and even re-installed OSX to no avail. Can someone **please** help me bring my google calendars back to the Calendar.app??? I am exhausted from searching and trying different things (cleaning out caches, deleting plist files, deleting/re-installing accounts, re-installing OSX...nothing seems to work ).
I was shocked to see that on my brand new mac mini (the other machine running 10.8.4), I set up the google account exactly the same way and presto blammo my google calendars populated just fine.
There has got to be a corrupted preference file somewhere that I am missing
I have tried these steps as well as these and even played with sync services troubleshooting on apple's site.
I should mention that the OSX re-install was in place; so whatever is causing Calendar to biff was not fixed by the OS itself.
I'm completely puzzled and exhausted now...please let me know if I can provide any diagnostic data. Console reports correct creation of the google account in Calendar.app, but my calendars still won't show up

The account seems to add just fine...and 'Gmail' shows up in the sidebar (with show/hide as appropriate upon hover); however, none of the calendars actually load...Calendar remains a blank slate. I verified the behavior on my "working" copy of ML, in which the calendars loaded almost instantly from Gmail's servers.
Since last week, I have performed a bottom-up reinstall of OSX. I know the Migration assistant is convenient when upgrading and/or moving machines, but my [corrupted] preferences had been migrated 3 times across OSX versions and new laptops (baseline: Snow Leopard). I can only imagine that something was lost in translation.
My new installation feels a lot snappier, and I believe I have even been freed of a puzzling anomaly that I also could never answer: Spotlight was always re-indexing Macintosh HD whenever I logged out/rebooted the new ML install...I use spotlight nearly exclusively for launching applications. With the buggy migration settings, I always had to wait upon logging in...even applications didn't show up in Spotlight's results. Now, in the "bottom-up" re-install, that wait is over, and I can access applications through Spotlight almost instantly upon login (phew).
I had always wondered how many times I could actually "migrate" my data across system upgrades without losing efficiency. In my case, that number appears to be 3. Sure, re-installing everything is a bit tedious, but all of my labor-intensive efforts (read: applescript) translate easily with a 'sudo cp' command from an archived profile. Needless to mention...the modern conveniences of iCloud and cloud-synching applications make things so much easier.
From this point forward, I actually have a Time Machine available for backups. This, also, will probably speed up a bottom-up reinstall, should the need arise in the future.
Let me know if anyone comes up with any further ideas...but from my point of view, the "damage" has already been rectified, and I'm on to greener pastures. I still have the buggy [migrated] profile on a bootable disk if anyone wants to try solutions...

Where have my calendars gone?

I have several calendars set up on my iPhone and iPad. I have upgraded to iOS 7 and now my iPad does not show my calendars. It will not let me add appointments either.

Where have the charts gone in iTunes 11?

In genereal I like iTunes 11 but I can't find any top 10 charts for music, movies, TV shows apps or books! Where have the charts gone?

Thanks Poikkeus but I still can't find it! I assume you're referring to the music pulldown menu? There's no Charts selection in there. Maybe it's different for iTunes Australia?

Look in your Camera Roll.

Where has my airport utility window gone ? when I double click on the icon all I get is an image of a globe and a base station with no options to make changes in my airport extreme.

Where has my airport utility window gone? When I double click on the airport utility icon all I get is a picture of a globe and a base station with no further options available to modify my airport extreme.

Sorry, you lost me on that last post.
Let's start over again.
Open AirPort Utility on your Mac
Are you asked for a password at this point? If yes, enter the base station or device password that you used when you originally set up the AirPort router. Depending when you did this originally, you might have been given an option to use the same password as the wireless network. If you were not, then you have a separate password for the base station.
You need that password to be able to access the settings for the AirPort router in AirPort Utility.
If you see a window listing basic information, click Edit in the upper right corner of the window.
If you are asked for a password, you must enter the device password or base station password that you established when you first set up the AirPort router as explained above.
If you forgot the password, a Soft Reset will allow you to go in and reset the base station password. Might be a good idea to write down that password.
If you are still stuck, then the only option that you have at this point is to perform a Hard Reset to return the settings to factory defaults and then set up the AirPort router again.
If you prefer, you can also do a Factory Default Reset. It's the same as a Hard Reset except for the timing of holding in the reset button.

Re: iTunes 11 removed Display duplicates option Dec 2, 2012 1:41 AM (in response to mdnolton2)
Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
Enjoy.

Where has the artwork side pane gone from itunes11??? Bring it back!!!!

Apple. Where has the artwork side pane gone??? Bring it back!!!

Rather odd
In both browsing and edit mode I can go View -> Thumbnails -> Show
If you do not have this option Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Where do i view iphone calendar on pc, it's not on itunes

where do i view iphone calendar on pc, it's not on itunes. it is supposed to be backed up somewhere on my pc labrinyth but search does not find it.

The iPhone's backup is in a SQLite database format. You can't view your iPhone's calendar data from your iPhone's backup.
Do you have an Apple iCloud account along with syncing your calendar events over the air with the account on your iPhone?
If so, do you have Outlook available on your PC?

Where do we use factory calendar

Hi All,
Can any one tell me where do we use factory calendar in SAP HR?
Thanks
Veer

Hi Veeresh
A factory calendar distinguishes between working days and non working days. It is company specific calendar. when you have entered an exception rule for non working days and have chosen factory calendar then you must enter the factory calendar relevant to your company.
Hope it helps.

Had hard drive renewed due to product recall (iMac) backed up complete system on time machine . Had the drive done got mac back tried to reinstall from time machine .The new drive tells me that the space has been taken up but can't find where the file have gone. Need to free up the space that the ghost file take up so I can drag drop from ex drive onto harddrive

Here's the scoop, new friend.....
When you boot into Time Machine you'll get the same OS X Utilities screen as you would if you booted into the Recovery HD. So, from there go into Disk Utilities to erase/format your internal drive. After that's done, back out to the OS X Utilities screen and select the restore option. Just follow the prompts to select the TM back up date you want to restore from and where to restore it to. Pretty straight forward.

UDPATE:
Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated. Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi). Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in iCloud. Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync. Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
BOTTOM LINE workaround:
1. Backup contacts
2. Delete contacts in iCloud
3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented. This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.

I just installed iTunes on my computer, where I already have all my music. I went to Edit Preferences Advanced, and changed the iTunes Media Folder Location to where I have all my music, in the "Local Disk." But iTunes wont import all my music. Help?

Have you looked in the Music App on your iPhone? On the iPhone music is played by the Music App not iTunes.
