Osx 10.8 How to restore ical data

Mac Pro, 10.8. Something I did in Bento wiped all my ical entries. The drive is backed up but where would I find the data to replace it?

Thanks for your response. I'd read about that approach (a PDF on MacRumours descibing the process), but I'm wondering if I'll be re-introducing older Lion and Snow Leopard elements like folder locations and such if I do it this way.
Will ML migrate it to the standard location and treat it as though this data had been generated within ML all along?
Also, I should add, I'm doing this install because I pooched my Lion Server and had to restore from a Time Machine backup. Now everything is messed up and unreliable. Turns out Time Machine doesn't back up iCal events for users! So this is why I'm trying to do this as clean as possible.

  • How do I restore iCal data from a Time Machine back-up?

    Recently, all my iCal data disappeared, possibly due my efforts to unlink iCal from Google calendars.
    I have read posts here, and have tried restoring ~/Library/Calendars in its entirety from a Time Machine back-up from about a week ago, where data definitely existed .... however, iCal remains empty. What am I doing wrong?

    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select 
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Restore it from your backup.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How to restore ical with time machine

    I have (some how) lost all of my appointments in my "Work Calendar" within iCal except for one entry (which is strangs).
    I have been trying to restore from Time Machine, but, the user interface for iCal through Time Machine is "not easy" to figure out or to use.
    I am unable to open the iCal folder as I can do with other ones to restore the data.
    How can I do this - I have never been able to do this restore in iCal & Contacts.
    Please can any one help me?

    Another factor that may be relevant is that I seen iCal appear and disappear from the MobileMe list of things to synch.  It's out of view 99% of the time.
    If you are talking about something you see in System Preferences>MobileMe then it's not relevant - iCal does not in fact sync, it reads the calendars directly from the server (though there is by default a cached local copy) and as I said the settings in that prefs pane are nothing to do with iCal any more.
    iCal is controlled in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts& Calendars and you should check that your MobileMe login details are correctly entered there - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4758
    As to the process I detailed, in the first set of numbered instructions, please make sure that when you have exported your MobileMe calendars you import them back into a calendar listed under 'On My Mac' - these cannot be deleted by MobileMe and from your description it sounds as if you may not have done this. Given your problems, I would suggest choosing new name sfor the calendars, at least temporarily.
    Then when you reconnect to the internet it should not be possible for MobileMe to delete the calendars and you can proceed with the next steps.

  • Restore ical data

    Hi,
    I have restored my User\library folder in Lion from a TM backup.  -  in fact I restored the whole user folder.  
    Long story -  I wanted to go back to SL but found I couldn't extract my mail from TM and so have restored with the intention of doing a manual backup of each folder before attempting a SL install again.
    I can't seem to find my ICS file for restoring ICAL, can anyone help me understand how to restore before doing a manual backup
    thanks

    Solved it!
    I had been trying to get the data into iCal by manipulating the folders in Library. It was simpler than that, although I don't know why iCal didn't recognize the data I moved to those folders. But, that's a moot point now. All I did was drag all of the individual data files onto the open iCal window and Bingo, they all showed up.
    However, what I also don't understand is why all that data, that I thought I had deleted, was sitting in Library but iCal wasn't reading it. I can only guess that there is some sort of marker on the folders or there is info in the plist file to tell iCal what to read. Oh well, again, a moot point. I have all my appointments back.

  • How to restore app data?

    Can anybody tell me, whether / how I can restore the data / configuration of an iPhone app (on the 3GS)?
    More specifically, I've got a shopping app (ShopShop) on my iPhone.
    I have carefully created a long shopping list.
    Accidentally, it is now deranged.
    So I'd like to restore the state.
    Is there any way to do it?
    (I am familiar with Unix, so a bunch of Terminal commands would be fine.)
    Best regards,
    Gabriel.

    3rd party data is stored in the backup, so one way would be restoring from a backup, if you're using Time Machine it should be no problem, but you can't select just on app to restore, it's all or nothing.
    Another way would be using this software here http://supercrazyawesome.com/ and see what you can do.

  • How to restore Archived Data on diffrent server.

    Hi,
    Requirement is quite confusing..
    I'm running on ECC 6.0 on HP IA64, Oracle 10g.
    My org. want to archive data for specific co. code.  Their requirement is to restore the archived data in the new server (A totally new landscap, on ECC 6.0, Solaris Sparc & Oracle 10g),
    I'm familiar with archiving process, but unaware about the restoration of archived data on the different server.
    Could you please guide me how to restore the archived data on the different landscape?
    Regards,
    Neehir Bhatt

    Hi Neehir Bhat,
    If you are building a new system, then it's highly advised to use data backup & restore mechanism rather Archived data restore.
    The purpose of Archived data is totally different from building a new system and the Archived data can never be solution to recover database to point-in time. Archived data meant for emergency restore of data in terms of document base rather database as a whole. Please refer below for detailed information.
    If you receive a request for reloading data some time after archiving, you must first
    determine the reason for such a request. Often such a request has to do with a
    requirement for data display that cannot be met by reloading the data. .
    If you reload data that was archived some time in the past, you can have data
    inconsistencies in your database because of, for example, a new number range for your
    documents. The new number range will be overwritten during reloading. For some
    archiving objects, not all data records are reloaded into the database. For example, the
    reload program for orders does not reload the corresponding cost center debits in CO
    back into the database. However, cost centers can be read from the archive file.
    The reloading function can be used unproblematically only for situations under
    scenario 1, reloading data into the database immediately after archiving. Otherwise,
    you should find out what triggered the request for reloading data and contact SAP if
    necessary.
    You can use the reload function only if the archive files are available in the file system.
    It is not possible to directly access the archive files in an external storage system
    For more information about the reload function from the viewpoint of
    ADK development, see SAP Note 53064.
    Regards
    Sekhar

  • How to restore my data from the blackberry protect back up archive

    Hi, my phone recently crashed, so I reloaded my OS & tried restoring my data from the blackberry protect app but noticed I could only restore from my last backup. I'd like to restore from another backup point in my archive & not my last. How do I go about it?

    Only backups which are displayed can be restored to your phone. If you don't see any older ones, something might have gone wrong with the backups being loaded to the site. Perhaps you have an older backup done with BlackBerry Desktop Software which you could reload?
    Cheers.

  • Unable to restore iCal data after total loss due to iCloud

    I believe iCloud is the cause for all my iCal data dissapearing. I have time machine running but am still not able to restore my iCal Data. I can not find the iCal data in the TimeMachine. Any suggestions?

    iCal data can be found in the Time Machine backups here: ~/Library/Calendars
    Find this folder in your Time Machine interface, choose it, click "Restore" and then "Replace" when prompted.
    When you exit Time Machine and go back into iCal all the entries should look the same as the day you chose to restore them from.
    If you don't have a backup.......sorry. There's no magic trick to bring it back. I've noticed that the preferred order of operations for first time iCloud syncing goes like this:
    Set up iCloud on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Log in at iCloud.com and make sure everything is correct on the site.
    Set up iCloud on your Mac/PC.
    No iOS device? Just make sure you have a backup or you export the calendars to a safe place before setting up iCloud on your computer. You may need to import your backups after the initial iCloud sync.

  • HT4859 how to restore icloud data?

    I accidentally erased reminders from my i phone and all data is gone; I need to restore it.  How can I do this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
    I'm not sure if what you want can be done with reminders, but it can with contacts for example, you may wish to adapt the procedure for contacts to try to restore your reminders.
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).

  • How to restore iCal using Time Machine with Lion OS

    Just got off the phone with Apple Support.  With Lion, your User/Library/Calendar file is now hidden.  Here is how to find it in order to restore data to your iCal.
    Close iCal
    Open FINDER
    Use “GO” button located across top
    Hit and hold the OPTION key on your keyboard
    You’ll see LIBRARY appear in the list  (this is a hidden file you cannot see otherwise)
    Select LIBRARY
    Select CALENDAR
    (you can see all the .calendar files under this item)
    Open/Enter TIME MACHINE
    Go to day/time you want to restore back to
    Highlight the CALENDAR file (which can now be seen by virtue of your efforts above)
    Select RESTORE from Time Machine
    Open iCal to view the updated data.

    Hello,
    I've got a dumb question - I've tried this a number of times.  You have given the clearest directions that I've read so far.  However, after trying a number of different dates, it still will not populate.  Most of my calendar entries were done with an iPhone, then synced via iCloud to laptop.  Would that prevent them from being synced to the Time Machine?  I'm at a loss (in more ways than one).
    Either way, thanks for the help.
