Recognizing dates in mail and adding events to iCal

How do I make OSX recognize dates in mail and add events to iCal?
This works on my laptop, but not my iMac. They have the same new version of OSX and iCal.
I cant figure out what setting makes this work on one machine and not the other.
Thanks
CM

First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
If the issue persists:
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV, exchange, etc.) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Hope that helps.

  • Mail not sending Event to iCal after upgrade

    I did the same as everyone else and upgraded as soon as I saw the message to upgrade mobileme ical. Now when I try to create an event in iCal using a date in an email after clicking on "Add To iCal" the popup just freezes. I've quited and rebooted Mail as well as iCal and no luck.
    Anyone else have this issue? Better yet, did anyone else find out how to fix it?
    With 4 boys I rely on that convenience big time!

    The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
    Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
    Don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
    By all means be sure any 3rd party apps AND plug-ins are Snow Leopard compatible.
    An additional measure is to clear the existing font caches:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/139383/2009/03/fontcacheclear.html
    That said, 10.6.2 release notes have this to say about fonts:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3874
    Fonts fixes provided for:
    • an issue with font spacing
    • an issue in which some Fonts are missing
    • font duplication issues
    • an issue with some PostScript Type 1 fonts not working properly
    Good luck in any case.

  • Adding event in iCal on ipad2

    I just got an iPad 2 and I am unable to add events in iCal. There is no + symbol and I am unable to add a new event by tapping, double tapping, or holding the screen. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    My problem is that there is no plus sign. I have no add button and I can't click on times to enter a new event. Is there a software update to fix this?

  • How to return a specific date/time range and last event details, when checking the event log via command prompt

    I am new to scripting (literally started reading/learning scripting a few hours ago), and I am stuck in trying to get my current script/command to filter a specific date range.
    * Note: I am working with Server 2003 and 2008; because of the environment I am in, a lot of scripts (such as Powershell and VBScript) don't work; trying to stick with command line, as it appears to be the only thing that functions correctly in my environment
    I am trying to search the System log in event viewer, for the most recent server reboot. Here is the command that I am currently running:
    ===========================================================
    C:\Windows\System32\cscript C:\Windows\System32\eventquery.vbs /L System /FI "id eq 1074"
    ===========================================================
    When run, the output looks like this:
    ===========================================================
    Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved

    Information 1074
    10/23/2013 2:06:09 AM    USER32
    ===========================================================
    What I would like it to do is only show events that have happened in the last seven days, as well as show the event details if it does find an event that matches the criteria.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    Nick

    I would prefer using Powershell , you can use below code 
    function Get-EventViewer
    param(
    [string[]]$ComputerName = $ENV:COMPUTERNAME,[string]$LogName,[int]$eventid
    $Object =@()
    foreach ($Computer in $ComputerName)
    $ApplicationEvents = get-eventlog -logname $LogName -cn $computer -after (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) | ?{$_.eventid -eq "$eventid" }
    foreach ($event in $ApplicationEvents) {
    $Object += New-Object -Type PSObject -Property @{
    ComputerName = $Computer.ToUpper();
    TimeGenerated = $event.TimeGenerated;
    EntryType = $event.EntryType;
    Source = $event.Source;
    Message = $event.Message;
    $column1 = @{expression="ComputerName"; width=12; label="ComputerName"; alignment="left"}
    $column2 = @{expression="TimeGenerated"; width=22; label="TimeGenerated"; alignment="left"}
    $column3 = @{expression="EntryType"; width=10; label="EntryType"; alignment="left"}
    $column4 = @{expression="Source"; width=15; label="Source"; alignment="left"}
    $column5 = @{expression="Message"; width=100; label="Message"; alignment="left"}
    $Object|format-table $column1, $column2, $column3 ,$column4 ,$column5
    $Object.GetEnumerator() | Out-GridView -Title "Event Viewer"
    You can do a function call like
    Get-EventViewer -LogName system -ComputerName "computername" -eventid "2017"

  • Why wrong dates in Mail and how to fix it?

    The strangest thing happened when we started up a new MacBook Air and made new accounts in Mail. IMAP-accounts that already was in use on the older MacBook. When we got the accounts up and running, all mails in the inbox list had been updated to 2014 - when I opened an email the time and date of that particular email was displayed correctly, but in the inbox list all mentions of the year was changed to 2014 - regardless of how old the message was. Which makes it totally impossible to sort emails by date/year. Never seen anything like this. I tried to delete the accounts and start all over - but it didn't fix the problem.
    Anybody else seen anything like this and what could possibly be the fix for this problem?

  • BTInternet mail and adding contacts

  • Is there a known issue with Mac Mail and adding Yahoo! email accounts?

    My Mac Mail application already as one account it in - my iCloud account.  It works just fine.  Every time I add a second account - Yahoo! (automatic setup), the account is created fine with all fields populate correctly, but after a few seconds the account and all it's contents disappears.  Just as if I had manually deleted it myself.  I did many tests, and sometimes the account stays, and sometimes it disappears.  I'm not accidentally hitting a '-' or 'remove' or 'erase' or 'delete' buttons.
    Mail Version 7.3 (1878.2)

    Check Console.app (Applications > Utilities) for any mail-related errors getting logged, when the newly-added account vaporizes.
    Try configuring the Yahoo! connection manually; set the smtp and pop settings explicitly?
    Yahoo is also reporting some connectivity outages today, due to a cable cut.  That's probably not related to this, but it might cause problems.
    FWIW, OS X 10.9.4 has Mail.app Version 7.3 (1878.6).  Might see if that upgrade helps here, too.
    If Mail.app is crashing, try configuring Mail.app in a completely separate (new) login — see if there's something in the saved mail preferences that's corrupted.

  • Looking at the AWTEventQueue and adding events to it

    I was wondering if its possible to see whats on the current AWTEventQueue and possibly add my own events to it without having some component such as a Button causing the event?

    I will be doing overflow editing for car commercials as well as other corporate promo video work. Mostly following already shot and produced pics and graphics. I will just be importing the work and laying down the tracks.
    My peripherals include:
    Suitable storage 400/800 firewire connections
    extra monitor for duel screen work
    Contour shuttle pro and trackball mouse
    Sony DSR-11 VTR if I can find one. If not Sony GVD-1000

  • How can I stop getting emails when adding events to iCal (Mac) or Calendar (iOS)?

    This question could just as well go to the iCloud on my Mac community...
    I put 'I' in the topic for brevity but it's actually my wife who gets emails every time either of us adds or edits events, whether we do it in iCal on either of our Macs or in Calendar on our iOS devices. Presumably this is to do with a setting in iCloud somewhere, but I've searched high and low and can’t find it. I've also compared settings on our Macs and phones and can't find anything that could be the culprit. It's driving her nuts!
    For more information, we share all our calendars so that either of us read and write any of them, and we're both on iOS 5.1 on our iPhones (hers is a 3GS, mine's a 4), and we're both on Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion (2010 27" iMac and 2011 MacBook Pro respectively).

    this seems to be a new "bug" on iCloud.  It's happened to many users (judging by the posts here).  My wife and I have one shared calendar and we've been happily using it without the email problems (because I had set iCloud NOT to email us whenever an event changed - this was done at icloud.com, a setting there).  Recently we began getting emails.  I suspect a change in iCloud that was in error, because I just checked my setting and the option to have an email sent when an event changes is not checked.

  • When adding event in iCal, the event becomes full-day by default. How to change?

    Also, when de-clicking full-day the events becomes timed 10am-6pm. When changing start time, the end time follows with this 6 hr gap. Not the worst problem to deal with in this world, but...still.  Any way of changing this little detail? I.e. to be able to double click the desired day, getting an event that starts with the current time and a 1 hr gap (as with the old version of iCal, that is).
    Cheers

  • Adding address from Adress Book to event in iCal?

    Hi,
    First of all i'm sorry if i'm not using the proper terms since I use iCal in French.
    OK, when adding event in iCal I would like to specify the address by simply selecting a person or compagy in my Address Book but it doesn't seems to be possible?
    It would be nice to have it implemented just like the guess! It would then sync to my iPhone and it would be really easy for me to check the road map after in Google maps' iPhone.
    If not possible, where can I request that feature?

    Greetings,
    You could Invite the person who's address it is. That should add the information, I think.
