Saved a Calendar file to .ics file on desktop. How do I restore it?

As part of a troubleshoot, a friend saved a calendar file to the desktop, resulting in an ics file. He then deleted the file from Calendar. How does he get it back into Calendar?
.......Mike

My friend reported back:
#1
Double-Clicking on .ics file results in ADD EVENT dialogue box with instructions to:
“Select Destination Calendar": (Only choice is “New Calendar”)
Hitting “Okay” to that choice results in msg: "Calendar can’t read this Calendar File”
#2
Dragging .ics file from Desktop into Calendar results in exactly the same
results as Double-clicking shown above…….

HT4859 I have just restored and updated my ipad 2 with the new iOS 6 software resulting in me losing all apps and items i had saved wen i had the version 5 software. How do i restore my files from icloud if its possible

How do i restore my files back onto my ipad 2 from icloud. I lost all things while updating to iOS 6 software. I can see that all the items are there on my icloud but i cant see the restoring option

Hi Taunda
When you went through the iOS 6 set up - did you see the option to restore?
When you go through Setup Assistant on a new iOS 5 device, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
After your device restarts, your settings and accounts are restored and Backup starts downloading your purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and other content.
Note: You may be prompted to enter the passwords for all accounts enabled on your device. You may also be prompted to enter the password for for any iTunes, iBookstore and App Store accounts for which iCloud Backup is attempting to restore content.
A progress bar will appear underneath the apps that are being downloaded. To prioritize the restore of a specific app, tap its icon. Restore will attempt to download the same version of the app that you had installed previously. If that version is no longer available, the latest version of the app will be restored.

.m4r file on desktop - how do I get it into iTunes "Ringtones"??

I've found a number of web sites with detailed step by step instructions on how to convert an old MP3 ringtone file into an ACC format .m4r file so that I can use it for an iPhone ringtone. No problem with that part.
I now have a .m4r file sitting on my desktop (Mac Pro, Mountain Lion). I open up iTunes and go to the "Ringtones" area. There is nothing there because I've never had any ringtones on an Apple device before today (and never purchased any from iTunes store). When I try to drag the .m4r file in, I get the green button with a + in it, but no matter what I do, the file isn't imported into iTunes. A number of the instructions you find online say you double click the icon on the desktop and it automatically imports. All that does is to start playing the file in iTunes (which is the behavior I would have predicted, since it's a music file). I've also tried "File >> Add to Library" from iTunes, and that doesn't do it either.
Am I missing some crucial step here?? Apple tech support can't help (just hung up with them).
Thanks!

How close is it to the 30 second ringtone limit? I'm clutching at straws here, but I guess iTunes could refuse to process it if it's > 30 seconds??
And you can confirm you did the following (assuming that you are creating a ringtone from an MP4 already in your iTunes library):
1. Adjust the MP4 file's length to be < 30 seconds (and played it in iTunes to confirm that it was only 30 seconds)
2. Right-clicked the MP4 and selected "Create AAC version" - to create a duplicate of 30 seconds or less. Confirmed that it plays.
3. Right-clicked the newly created 30 second clip and select "Show in Finder"
4. Drag it to your desktop.
5. Deleted the 30 second clip in iTunes (to remove the reference from your iTunes library.
6. Changed the file on your desptop to .m4r and clicked "use .m4r" when you were prompted.
If you've done all this, there is no reason that I can see why it shouldn't import. Try dragging and dropping it from your desktop into iTunes.

With new Firefox 4 I an no longer see my other calendars on Google Calendars (only mine is now seen). How can I restore seeing my wife's calender?

I am clicking the settings so I can see her calendar, too, but it is not coming up on the screen.

When I held down the mail app, I didn't get a minus sign. The apps just shook instead. But I powered off the phone and turned it back on and now it is working so maybe it was just stuck? Not sure what it was that fixed it but it appears to be working now. Thanks for the quick response!

TS3999 one of our calendars is missing which was not deleted how do you restore it or find it.

Our Vacation calender is gone. It was not deleted by us. How do you restore it?

You can access iCloud.com on a computer to turn it off.

Dreamweaver: files on desktop

I am extremely new to Dreamweaver. I have been creating my first site. In all of the tutorials that I have watched, they all show for you to have your Dreamweaver files saved on your desktop. I was beginning to have a cluttered desktop so I decided to create a folder specifically for the Dreamweaver files and dragged and dropped them in. I went to preview my sight in the browser and my pictures show an X meaning that the link has been broken. I concluded that it must be because I moved the files into the new folder that I had created on my desktop. What I did next was to create a 'dummy' new site, using another new folder that I created on my desktop to store the new files in. I went to preview the 'dummy' site in the browser and it showed the X again where the image should be. My question is: is there another way to have your Dreamweaver files on your desktop, besides having them all individually spread out across? I want to keep things as organized as possible, so does Dreamweaver not recognize the files if you have them in a specifically created folder on the desktop for those files?
Thank you. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I try not to save files to desktop.
I think the tutorials were saving the tutorial files to desktop. I never save my Dreamweaver site files to desktop. I would create a folder in MY Documents, where the site files are. Put your photos in the 'images' folder.

.ics file error : "iCal can't read this calendar file."

I would like to add my flight itinery to my iCal. Downloaded the .ics file from the BA website. When double clicking on it and dragging it to iCal this message pops up: "iCal can’t read this calendar file. No events have been added to your iCal calendar."
file details:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//Ben Fortuna//iCal4j 1.0//EN
VERSION:2.0
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
METHOD:PUBLISH
BEGIN:VEVENT
I also tried converting it to .vcs. Then iCal asks which calender I would like to add it to but still comes up with above message.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi!
I managed to import the file when I deleted everything that had to do with HTML code at the end of the file. I'm not exactly sure about the purpose of this code, but deleting it left me with my flights inside my calendar, exactly as I wanted.
HTH,
Michael

Ics.vcs calendar file

I downloaded a calendar file for an event from a site called RegOnline so I could add it to my iCal. The file that downloaded was called EventDate.ics.vcs. When I tried to add it to iCal I got an an error message that the file was unreadable and was not added to my calendar. Just for kicks I edited the title of the file and took off the .vcs extension so that it was named EventDate.ics and then tried adding it to iCal and it worked fine. Any idea why this is happening? Is it normal for a calendar file to have both extensions?

iCal will only recognise .ics files. Some calendar programs use .vcs.

Recovering Calendar files from Time Machine backups in Mavericks

I have somehow deleted all previous Calendars and entries prior to the day I set up iCloud. They have gone from iCloud also. This occurred after I tried to remove duplicates. Calendar entries after setting up iCloud are more or less OK but everything before that day has gone (except for birthdays and a few other entries).
Can I recover them from a previous (Mavericks) time-machine backup and if so how please?
I have looked for calendar files on my external backup HD but can't see anything recognisable.
Other posts on this topic seem to refer to previous operating systems.

I used the process outlined here successfuly just now:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudtm.html
I am running Mavericks. Things I learned or to clarify/amplify what he says (at the URL I just listed):
* If you have partial data saved in Calendar now, I highly recommend you export and save it as an .ics file so you won't lose anything.
* Make sure you close Calendar before trying to restore.
* To restore Calendar files, go back to the date you want to restore in Time Machine, and in your home folder (or whatever you may have renamed it), go to Library > Calendar. Highlight ALL files in this folder. The Restore button should turn white in the bottom right of the Time Machine and hit that. It will move them all into your calendar.
* Follow his procedure otherwise. When you import the old data into your newly created On My Mac version of your calendar, it will say there is a "new event" or message and ask you where you want to put it. That would be the newly created calendar you just set up chosen off the list. It's pretty obvious but his directions didn't say so I like to be explicit with details.
* I found that calendars I had created since losing my old ones were not overwritten or lost when I followed the above procedure.

"iCal can't read this calendar file. No events have been added to your iCal calendar."

How do I deal with this error message-"iCal can’t read this calendar file. No events have been added to your iCal calendar." ? .ics vs .vcs?
Thanks

Greetings,
What version of the Mac OS and what version of iCal are you running?
Are you using MobileMe calendars (or any other server based calendars like Google) in your iCal?
While you answer those questions you can try the following troubleshooting:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

How do I get iCal in Lion to read my old 10.6 calendar files, notational velocity files

Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded from 10.6 to 10.8 and did a clean install. I backed everything up using Time Machine and have chosen to transfer most things manually as there were a lot of applications and system files that I did not want to copy over. However, I've run into an issue when trying to transfer over my files for iCal -- I found the old calendar data in Users/my name/Library/Calendars, and copied it over into the Library file on my new machine. There wasn't a Calendars file yet, so I created it. However, when I open iCal, it doesn't show my old calendars-- I tried manually importing them, but it wants me to import each individual event -- there must be an easier way to do this. Where does iCal read its calendar data by default in 10.8? Do I have to do anything additional to get iCal to read it?
Additionally, I can't find my old notational velocity notes -- they should be in Application Support under my old Library files, but I am not seeing them. A spotlight search hasn't yielded anything. Anyone know where they might be? I hadn't changed the default, so I imagine they ought to be there.
Best,

A quick look at their web site shows I've misinterpreted what you said - Notational Velocity isn't related to iCal. However if you are still having a problem with that the makers would be the people to ask.
I'm not sure why you can't get iCal files to work if they are in the correct place. In 10.6.8 the Calendar folder includes a folder for each calendar, and these contain the .ics files which represent the actual events. I don't know whether 10.8 has altered the format as I don't use it.
You originally said ' I found the old calendar data in Users/my name/Library/Calendars, and copied it over into the Library file on my new machine.' - did you copy the entire Calendars folder intact?

Convert iPhone calendar file to importable iCal file

For reasons which would take waaay too long to describe here, I find myself in a situation of having to import an iPhone calendar file (Calendar.sqlitedb) into iCal. I've saved the iPhone file to my Mac desktop. The iPhone file is an SQ Lite database file.
I was taken aback to find that this is not one of the formats iCal is designed to import! I found an application (iCal2SQlite) which goes the other way, but I can't find anything which goes the way I'm needing.
Does anyone know of a way to convert an iPhone calendar file into something iCal can import (like maybe an Outlook calendar file)?
Many thanks!
(P.S. Just so you know...importing the iPhone file into iCal is the ONLY option I have. As I said, it would take too long to explain why that is...but unfortunately that's the bottom line.)

Dogger, I wish I could help, but I searched for days on this, and posted both here and on the iPhone discussion, but I didn't find a solution. I also went to the Genius Bar at the local Apple Store. No luck there, either.
I ended putting the events in by hand from 1/1/09 on...but I lost everything prior to that (although I still have the calendar database file on my Mac).
Definitely an oversight on Apple's part, I'd say...

Why do I get "iCal can't read this calendar file. No events have been added to your iCal calendar." when I am trying to sync an Apple Workshop appointment?

I made a reservation for an Apple store workshop, but when I try to open the download in iCal (Lion) , I keep getting an "iCal cannot read this calendar file." message. Very frustrating. Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bmoregirl
