Restore iCal from Time Machine Backup

How do I restore iCal from a Time Machine backup?
I read that I was could restore from the following folder: ~/Library/Application Support/iCal
But this folder doesn't exist on my system.
Any ideas?

From home folder: library/calendars.
Then get this update. A senior tech at Apple today had me get this more comprehensive update and it restored all my calendar entries which were totally gone. I restored the calendars folder then did the update. Problem fixed. You need this update anyway.

  • Error 150:30 after restoring CS4 from Time Machine backup

    I just got myself a new Imac with OS X Maverick and set it up using a time-machine-backup. My Adobe CS4 now has a Problem with the license and shows me error: 150:30?
    Do I need to uninstall CS4 and reinstall? Is there any easier solution to this problem?
    Thank you anyone for some help.
    chris

    Thanks a lot for your help......everything back to normal after reeinstallation.

    Do I need to uninstall CS4 and reinstall?
    Unfortunately yes.
    Also run the Cleaner Tool prior to reinstalling
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Restoring from Time Machine backups invariably breaks the activation mechanism (Error 150:30) and there's no easy way to fix a 150:30 error other than via re-installing.

  • HT201250 Circle and cross through iTunes icon afte the seagate hard drive replaced and restored data from time machine backup.

    Circle and cross through iTunes icon: had the seagate hard drive replaced and restored data from time machine backup. Why does the iTunes icon have a circle and cross through it? As though incomplete? tried everything and still Circle and cross through iTunes icon.

    No it isn't something you'd find on the computer, it has to be custom installed from the 10.6 installer disc or Software Update if it wasn't before.  It allows you to use older PowerPC applications on your Mac.   On the other hand double check the version of iTunes you have does not require 10.7 minimum either.

  • HT201250 (1) Where is the "Time Machine menu" and the choice to "Enter Time Machine" (mentioned in the "Restoring data from Time Machine backups" section)?

    1) Where do I find the "Time Machine menu" and the choice to "Enter Time Machine" (as mentioned in the "Restoring data from Time Machine backups" section in the Mac Support article "Mac Basics: Time Machine")?
    2) How would I restore e.g. a particular photo from a backup I made with Time Machine? I can see how this is done with Word documents, but can't see how to do it with photos?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    1. The Time Machine icon is on the menu bar.
    2. If you want to do that with individual photos, it's the same way as for documents. If you want to do it with iPhoto, you have to restore the whole iPhoto library, not only one photo

  • Restoring iCal from Time Machine

    I accidently deleted my calendars from iCal and then my blank iCal synced to mobileme and my iPhone so I lost everything. When I try to restore my iCal from Time Machine, it initially shows all my calendars when I open iCal, then it syncs to mobileme and I get a blank iCal again.
    Here's what I do:
    1. Quit iCal.
    2. Delete Calendar folder from Home>Library.
    3. Restore Calendar folder from Time Machine using the gear icon and "Restore to ..."
    Then when I open iCal it restores perfectly, then syncs to mobileme and erases again.
    After talking to an apple tech, he suggested going into iCal's preferences and deleting the mac.com and trying the above steps again. That doesn't work. I even tried going into System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync>Advanced>Reset Sync Data to replace info on mobileme with sync info from my computer. That didn't work either.
    What step am I missing to restore my iCal from Time Machine?

    kanagashi,
    You are welcome...thanks for your kind comments.
    I'm still having sync issues with MobileMe though, the "On My Mac" calendars aren't syncing to MobileMe.
    The "On My Mac" calendars will not sync to MobileMe. Did you complete Roger's checklist under the "Reconnect to the internet. Your MobileMe calendars will disappear as before. Now carry out the following process with each of the 'On My Mac' calendars:" paragraph?
    Syncing should be possible after carrying out those steps.

  • Restored system from Time Machine backup disk but the system could not start-up

    On MacBook Pro early 2008, restored the entire system from Time Machine backup disk to the entire disk.
    The previous system on the backup disk had FileVault turned on.
    The restore completed successfully and I was prompted to restart the system via the new restored system disk.
    I heard the normal start-up sound, then the Apple logo, but it stuck at the logo screen. And the cooling fan run at almost full speed?
    I have been waiting for a few hours, guessing it might FileVault the disk.
    Finally I have to shutdown the machine as it stuck at the logo screen forever.
    Anyone has the same issue? Any ideas?

    BTW, I also tried Repair the system disk, Fix permissions via Disk Utility.
    I guess I must lose some files either during the backup or the restore.

  • How can I restore iCal from time machine

    Hi can I restore the data from iCal from time machine?

    The data is in ~/Library/Calendars 
    The folders have gibberish names; you can't tell which folder is which calendar, so you probably need to restore the entire folder.
    But if you have your Calendars synched via iCloud, there may not be anything there, since iCloud is where the "real" data resides.

  • Restoring iCal from Time Machine/Older HD

    SO here's the deal. I upgraded my harddrive in my MBP over the weekend. Doubled it size to 500GB joy! What I decided to do once I got a blank copy of Lion on it was to restore just the user info, system settings and "other files" from the Time Machine back up I have (not from the old hard drive). Allowing me to install only the Applications I would really need after all my user info was on the computer and clearing up some more space.
    This worked GREAT!
    When I opened my iCal I had duplicate calendars. So, I deleted some of the duplicates. Apparently I deleted the wrong ones, and now ALL my calendars are gone. And before you ask, no, I didn't setup my TimeMachine (I decided to test things out before erasing that backup and start fresh with my new system)
    BUT, I still have the old Time Machine backup AND I still have my old/smaller HD hooked up via USB.
    My question is, where can I grab the iCal info from (Time Machine or my old HD) or do I need to start the process all over again just to get my calendars back?
    Thanks in advance

    New development... I was going to recreate my calendars while I waited and I found that I couldn't name a new calendar the same as one of my deleted calendar... (ie: I couldn't recreate a calendar called "Home") so, by going into preferences and digging around a little I found something strange? Under my default calendars it shows my current list of calendars, but my reminders shows all my OLD (deleted) calendars?? (see images)
    SIDE NOTE (I'm only concerned with the top iCloud account

  • Restore iCal from Time Machine - (Lion)

    Should be easy - but not for me.
    I fell into the trap - upgraded iPad, then synced with the MacPro and somehow some of my bookings got deleted.
    (At this stage, I found out how to backup iCal from within the app).
    Should be no problem - I meticulously ensure everything is backed up with Time Machine - so no problem at all - but I was forgetting.
    For some obscure reason, there's a little (secret?) application of the Option Key required to reveal the Library folder in 'Go'. I cannot seem to replicate this when in Time Machine, so my question is, how do I access my Time Machine backup of iCal so that I can restore it?
    Andy

    You have two library folders: one is at the top level (when you open your hard drive) and the other is in your user directory (when you click on your account name in the Users folder). You want the latter.

  • Trouble restoring ical from time machine

    My iCal has somehow been corrupted.  It shows up to the present month, but when I select the next month (October 2012), the calendar won't change and the name of the month dissapears. Subsequent months also fail to appear.
    I thought of attemping to restore an earlier version of my calendar to solve my problem.  After closing iCal (and every other program I had open) I went into Time Machine and selected previous calendar files to be restored by going into Home > Library > Calendars and selecting restore on the entire "Calendar" folder.  After restoring the folder, I opened iCal and it was restored to my earlier calendars and cycled through the months like it normally should.  Within three minutes, though, it reverted to my corrupt calendar(s).
    I then deleted the "Calendars" folder from my laptop (Home > Library> Calendars) and once again restored from Time Machine. After restoring the earlier calendars, I unplugged my external hard drive backup before opening iCal.  Again, when I first opened iCal, it worked normally, but within a couple of minutes my corrupt calendar(s) popped up again and iCal once again refused to cycle through future months.
    My questions are, am I doing the restore wrong?  Where is iCal restoring the corrupt calendars from after I restored earlier calendars from Time Machine?
    Here are my system specs:
    MacBook Pro 2.8 Ghz Intel
    4 GB Ram
    500 GB Hard Drive
    iCal version 4.0.4
    Thank you in advance for any help!

    I just had a hard disk crash, and had to do it.  I couldn't figure it out until I called Apple Support, my support guy put me on hold and then told me about Migration Assistant.  I guess they lose so few full disks, they don't include a full disk restore out of the Time Machine interface.  Give me bonus points for remembering that you had the same question and coming back to answer it.
    Glad it worked for you.  So nice to have everything back, just like it was when you lost your disk.  I really like the Time Machine.  When you need it, you need it.

  • Restoring movies from Time Machine backup

    Last night I tried restoring my photos from a Time Machine backup. It appears that all my movies (.avi files) have been restored as .jpg files. When I open the pictures folder, it automatically opens iPhoto and starts importing my pictures. Is there something I can do to make sure that my .avi files are imported as .avi files and not .jpg files? Thanks!

    From Apple Help:
    To restore files:
    Open a window for the item you want to restore.
    For example, if you accidentally deleted a file from your Documents folder, open the Documents
    folder. If you want to recover an email message, open your inbox in Mail.
    If you’re missing an item from the desktop, you don’t need to open a window.
    Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock.
    If Time Machine isn’t in the Dock, look for it in the Applications folder.
    Use the arrows or the timeline along the right side of your screen to browse through all the
    backups Time Machine has created.
    If you need more information about an item, double-click to preview it.
    The windows behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar,
    and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
    When you find the item you want to restore, select it and then click Restore.
    You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or your entire hard disk.
    If an item you restore has the same name as another item on your computer, you’re asked if you
    want to keep the current item, the restored item, or both.
    The restored item is returned to its original location. For example, if it is found in the Documents
    folder, it is returned to the Documents folder. Time Machine may ask if you want to re-create one
    or more folders in order to return a restored item to its original location.

  • Restoring System from Time Machine backup - only option is older backup

    I have two drives in a Mac Pro - a system drive and a data drive. Yesterday morning the system drive died. The computer hung and when I manually restarted it, I got the circle with a line icon, and then on a subsequent restart, after resetting the PRAM, I got the ? folder icon.
    I restarted with the install disk in, and booted into Disk Utility. I attempted to repair the system drive, but it was reported to be corrupted and not repairable.
    I installed a new drive, booted back into Disk Utility, formatted the new drive, and initiated a "restore from Time Machine".
    My problem is, once the list of "complete" Time Machine backups came up, the most recent one listed was for October of this year, almost 3 months ago. In that time, Time Machine has been on and running without issue. I know there were Time Machine updates made for this computer the morning of my crash, and the day before, etc. But in terms for restoring my system, my most recent restore point is late October.
    I went ahead and restored to that most recent Time Machine "complete" backup, and several hours later my system is back up and running, but as it was three months ago, not yesterday morning.
    Why, if Time Machine has been performing hourly backups without fail, was I unable to restore to something more recent? If I connect to Time Machine (on a Time Capsule) from the computer in question (after the restore) and browse the backups on it, the most recent folder I see is 2011-01-14-190729 - still not as recent as I would hope (maybe the drive going bad was causing errors with very recent backups) but much more recent than October.
    I would really like to be able to get my system back to a much more recent snapshot than it's at now. (I have disabled Time Machine backups on it in the meantime so as not to overwrite the backups I currently have)
    Any suggestions?

    See #14 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    On the list of backups (point g there), click the "pop-up" menu; there may be two entries there. If so select the other one -- it may have the backups you want.

  • Can't restore files from Time machine backup?

    I kinda successfully restored my files from Time Machine after a clean re-install of Snow Leopard (Time Machine thought they were new files, though, so backed up the 26 GB... waste of space), but now I'm trying to restore the files of the other user on the computer. In her pictures folder, I can't copy the iPhoto Library because I don't have permission to access it! The same problem occurred on my account too, but I was able to go to my Time Machine drive and manually change the permissions for the files I wanted, which doesn't work on her account.
    I have made a Youtube video of the error:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1__PdyAetVg
    Can anyone assist me in restoring the files? That's all I need help in. Thanks

    If the problems were caused by your data. But that's extremely unlikely. It may have been an app, or, much more likely from your description, something corrupted in the Leopard OS. That's one of the problems with upgrading a sick system without knowing what or where the causes are. It's a bit like a brain surgeon operating on himself: if he isn't in tip-top shape to start with, his condition is likely to change, and not for the better.
    Most of us would have recommended first simply doing a +*Repair Disk+* on your internal HD; if that didn't help, installing the "combo" Leopard update; if that didn't work, doing an +Archive and Install+ and re-installing the "combo."
    After a clean re-install of Snow Leopard, my Mac worked fine again (except for the TM trouble). So it probably had something to do with my old files.
    Probably not. Much more likely OSX was somehow damaged. And you got a whole new one.
    How come I could read the files on my external HD and yet not be able to copy the files?
    Time Machine uses special "deny everybody everything" permissions on it's backups, among other things, in an attempt to keep us mere mortals from moving, changing, or deleting things and corrupting them.
