Snow Leopard: iCal doesn't show private appointments of as booked !

Hi Apple-Dev-Team,
one HUGE issue with the new Exchange iCal implementation: I cannot see if a collegue has an appointment at a given time because it won't display private entrys!! that's an absolute no-go for any workgroup/team or enterprise using macs with iCal !!
Please tell me if i've missed some option... If not it would be absolutely necessery for us and all of our customers to see private appointments in iCal because everybody uses its calendar to manage private appointments as well...
I love iCal/Mail much more than Entourage, so it would be really nice if one could fix this issue...
Thanks a lot!
Daniel

After install snow leopard, ical does not show the events of some calendars

After I install snow leopard, ical does not show all the events, or simple does not show the events of some calendars that I created.
Can somebody solve this problem? Is there some update for ical?

Try the following:
1 - Go to your user account home folder, and open the library folder within it.
Look for the folder named "Calendars" and inside you might find a bunch of different folders with weird names. If they are there that means your calendars might not be lost.
2 - Look for the file "Calendar Cache". That file might be corrupted. Trash it. You may want to save a copy of it elsewhere. Once trashed, re-open ical. This should force it to rebuild its library based on those folders with weird names you saw. Your calendars should be back. Good luck

Can you tell me why iPad 2 is not cannot to laptop with snow Leopard it doesn't cannot it

Can you tell me why iPad 2 is not cannot to laptop with snow Leopard it doesn't cannot it

You question is garbled. Are you saying your iPad cannot connect to a laptop with Snow Leopard? Restart your computer. Start iTunes and check for updates. If there are any updates to itunes download and install it. Then restart your computer and start iTunes.
Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
Finally connect your iPad to your computer. Use a USB on your computer that is not on the keyboard or connected to a hub.
If you do these things and it still doesn't show up in iTunes on your computer report back here and explain clearly just what happened.

ICal doesn't show all text for the activity

When I updated to iCal version 8.0 i noticed that when I am in week-view, iCal doesn't show all the text for an activity, although there is plenty of room. For example I have a lecture from 9 am - 4 pm and in the activity I put down all the things I have to do, but it only shows the first line for my activity. I need to drag the box or double click on it to see all the text. Can I change this?

Gabriella,
Sometimes making the Calendar window bigger, or using full screen allows additional text to be displayed.
View>"Make Text Smaller" is also an option for those with Eagle Eyes.

ICal doesn't show my calendars, although data clearly sits on my computer

After a system crash, iCal doesn't show my calendars any more. It appears in the same state as when I opened it the very first time, i.e. contains empy "Work" and "Home" calendars.
Yet,
~/Library/Application Support/iCal
contains plenty of data that looks as if it were my calendar's contents, namely in the subdirectory "Sources".
On the other hand
~/Library/Calendars
does not exist. According to some documentation it should've been there.
Luckily, I had only recently synchronized my iPod, and I can still read my calendars from it.
How can I make my calendars re-appear in iCal, either based on the data that are still on my laptop, or from my iPod?? And then, in the future I'll make sure to have a more professional backup. ;-(
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I'm seeing the same thing, and I can't even find where OS X stores calendars on disk anymore...

It might have to do with the way Safari works on the Internet and the rash of attacks occuring

I also booted up Safai today which I hardly use and it was incredibly slow as well.
I don't know if it's Safari or me not using it for such a long time.
If the above fixes don't work, all I can suggest is to use Firefox or whatever until this attack thing blows over and see after that.

You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

Snow Leopard install doesn't recognize system disk

I'm trying to upgrade a MacPro1,1 running Leopard 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard. The system has 3 hard drives, two striped RAID sets, each made with two physical drives and an external hard drive enclosure used for Time Machine.
When I run the SL installer, I agree to the license and get to the screen where I pick the hard drive to upgrade. Neither of the RAID sets is displayed, only the Time Machine disk.
Already tried repairing disk permissions with Disk Utility with no luck. Leopard boots and runs fine on this machine. What's going on?

I just re-ran the installer to look for the 'Show All Disk....' button. There is no such button in my installer.
The only actions available are to click on the displayed, Time Machine disk, which shows a message that the disk can't be used "because it doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme." If I have no disks selected, the "Customize..." button is active which brings up a dialog with no contents except for the text "0 bytes required for installation", a "Restore Defaults" button in the lower left and an "OK" button in the lower right. "Restore Defaults" does nothing and "OK" dismisses this dialog. Finally, I can click "Go Back" which just takes me to the initial screen.

Snow Leopard finder doesn't list all files on Windows 7 volumes

From my Macbook Pro (10.6.8), I can connect to my Mac Pro, while it is running Windows 7 in Boot Camp, in order to access the Mac Pro's 6 volumes (1 Boot Camp, 5 Mac volumes). This is using SMB via Finder's 'Connect to server…' on an Airport network.
However, Finder never displays all the files and folders on any of the Mac volumes it connects to through Windows 7. It seems to show approximately the first 18-9 files and folders, and then nothing. The same applies when I open a nested folder — it doesn't list all of its contents.
Any ideas as to what's causing this and how I can fix it? I have searched all over but can't find any answers yet, so I'm hoping someone here has seen this before.

Thanks for the reply, but I do have the Restore Windows box checked (see below). And the Resume features info (cnet link) only addresses how to turn the feature off, either selectively or globally. I'm simply looking for the functionality that I had with Snow Leopard and now seems to be absent. Maybe it's a bug in my Finder.

Snow Leopard iCal Server

I am a long time Now Up to Date user (with the contact/event server). If you know anything about NUDC you know that the word "unfortunately" will begin any further discussion. "Unfortunately" the upgrade Now X has been in "development" for nearly 3 years and it was released (badly I guess) in the Fall without a server. They will not give us a date on when that server may release and early reviews are not good for the standalone. It doesn't look very hopeful.
I am running three G5s right now with 2 Leopard Server and 1 tiger. I am considering giving up on Now, buying one Intel with Snow-L on it and using iCal and buying iPhones instead of Palm Centros -- hopefully when they port to Verizon b/c I'm no fan of ATT.
However, I really need to have some questions answered before I make that big a move -- about basic things like how it operates. I did a test run on Kerio and Entourage and was horribly disappointed. We need to share calendars across seven providers and four office staff and need to be able to modify each other's calendars EASILY. We can do that with NUDC but it gets more unreliable with every upgrade of the operating system and the Centros are obsolete. I would really love to hear from some people who are in daily use of iCal server. Maybe it's easier then to go to back channel and not use up the discussion board for what amounts to me asking for a sales pitch.
Any takers?
Thanks in advance.

Hi. No, no back-channel anything, please. You've come here asking for help, and so the discussion should STAY here
That way, everyone can contribute and potentially BENEFIT
Should you want dedicated support, then that's something that comes with a fee...
http://consultants.apple.com/
That said,
I have implemented shared calendaring for a client using Snow Leopard Server.
What testing have you done so far and what are your specific questions ?
You can either create a "user" (eg: Company_Calendar) and have end-users setup iCal to use that calendar, but that can get a bit messy, OR
have one such calendar (as just described) for certain purposes, and otherwise setup a calendar for each user.
Where it gets a bit tricky is that you have to use each end-users iCal to setup delegation (read and/or write access for other users). It's readily doable via a user's iCal, but I'm currently looking into managing this server-side - see (via the Terminal):
man calendarservermanageprincipals
I think, compared to NUTDC , you should find this remarkably stable and reliable by comparison.
But you do have to allow for the fact that you're migrating to something entirely new for you,
and your ability to maintain, troubleshoot and resolve problems should they arise.
For client software, Entourage is not an option that I know of. See Apple's documentation for SL Server - iCal Server Admin:
"Third-Party Applications
...the following third-party applications can use iCal service. These applications are from companies or projects that have committed to using CalDAV as an open calendaring service. This list does not indicate an endorsement or support for any of the products listed.
Mozilla Sunbird and Lightning (open source)
Open Software Application Foundation Chandler (open source)
Microsoft Outlook using the open source Outlook Connector Project
Mulberry (open source)
GNOME Evolution using the CalDAV plugin (open source)
Zidone (commercial plugin)
EMClient (Windows only commercial plugin)"
and of course, test extensively to ensure the software (server & client) will meet your needs.

Time Machine on Snow Leopard just doesn't work.

So I've had huge nightmares over the past few days over Time Machine.
So I've always been a big proponent of Time Machine. I always tell everyone that you NEED a backup solution, and while Time Machine may not be the be all and end all, it's a great starter solution for those that don't want any fuss.
But perhaps not anymore.
It just works, right? Well apparently not.
So a little while ago I performed a Time Machine-assisted hard drive swap for a MacBook (not mine). That is, I install a new drive, boot from SL DVD, perform a HD wipe, then restore from Time Machine. It seemed to go well.
Fast forward to more recently, I went on a trip overseas (Taiwan). While there, I obviously took a lot of photos, and it became that time again - purchase a new hard drive with more capacity for my MacBook Pro! HD were a little cheaper where I visited, so I not only bought a new drive for my MBP, but also a new drive for my wife's MB, as well as new external drives to upgrade our Time Machine drives.
While I was there, I decided to update my own Time Machine first - following the instructions from Apple's own knowledge base on the matter:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
I transferred my existing backups to the new drive to continue my Time Machine. I didn't notice any problem at the time.
Then I returned to my home country (New Zealand). First thing I did when I got back was to perform the Time Machine-assisted HD swap after making sure the OS were up-to-date as were their respective backups, on both my own MBP and my wife's MacBook.
That's when the troubles started.
First off, I noticed that a few images from my Aperture Library were missing. The album data and everything were there, but the actual files were not. They also did not exist anywhere on the Time Machine drive and as such never made it over to the new HD. Weird, I thought. They were there, clear as day on my original drive. They simply weren't backed up.
Now I'm aware of a few TM niggles, such as the false backups after verifying a disk, but I hadn't done that.
The second issue was much more major. My Wife's MB would be endlessly stuck on the white boot screen with the grey Apple logo. As it turns out, it's exactly this issue here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2738620?threadID=2738620&tstart=74
In short, the fresh Time Machine backups I made before transferring to the new HD showed no sign of updating the /System/Library/Framework/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security package, which is REQUIRED for the Mac to boot into 10.6.7 (it had an old one from before).
Great, I thought, but maybe I can fix that by installing a fresh 10.6.7 combo update on the MB via target disk mode.
No dice. On trying, it goes all the way to the end, and then fails installation. I had to resort to copying over the correct, more recent security package just to get it to boot.
After booting, what to do? Who knows what other files Time Machine failed to update, and what consequences they would have. After putting back the original security package, I tried updating 10.6.7 again. Nope, no dmgs would open - i HAD to use the new Security package for anything to open. Fair enough, but even with that, the installation would inevitably fail.
Problem with the package? Nope. Tried a fresh download, and checked the SHA and everything.
Time to do some blitzing. I pulled out my trusty Snow Leopard DVD and did a reinstall on top. That's gotta get my problem, right? Well, nope. After resetting to 10.6.0, the 10.6.7 combo updater STILL failed on installation. Furthermore, the updater no longer worked on MY MBP either.
What gives?
As it turns out, it was related to this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11317470?messageID=11317470
In short, some files had the user immutable flag switched on, preventing changes from being made to those files (manifests as a little lock icon on the file icon). They included (and I'm sure not limited to) the Acknowledgement.rtfs in /Library/Documentation/, as well as a majority of the fonts in /Library/Fonts.
Checking back in the backup drives, it was clear that Time Machine was the culprit - instances of those files in the backups were also locked. When did that happen? Looking back, it looks like it happened when I transferred the backups from one Time Machine drive to another. But it wasn't all at once - in the first backup on one drive, one of the Acknowledgement.rtf files was locked, and the other one wasn't, but in the second onwards, both were. It was clear that Time Machine seemed to be doing it to those files. Which files and why? I have no idea.
So removing the uchg flag with "sudo chflags -R nouchg /" in terminal finally allowed me to apply the 10.6.7 combo update without failure.
So were the troubles over then?
Nope.
While checking if everything was fine, I noticed iPhoto on the MB had all the thumbs missing - after rebuilding, they weren't back, and only a .plist trashing fixed it (I consider this pretty normal - probably looking for the files on the old UUID drive or something).
But what gives? ALL the photos taken on the trip were gone! Not just the thumbs - the actual files were missing from the iPhoto Library! The data in the albums existed, just the actual files, just like my instance in Aperture on my own MBP.
Checked the Time Machine - again, it was clear Time Machine had completely stuffed up - the files were nowhere to be found on the Time Machine drive.
So currently, I've returned the original internal drive to the MacBook, performing a FRESH on new reformatted disk Time MAchine, and will use THAT to restore.
Nightmares, indeed. It's several days of work doing all the restores, considering I have limited drives to work with. And yes, rest-assured, I was doing enough permission repairs, and PRAM resets to ensure they weren't issues.
It occurs to me there are several faults with the most recent version of Time Machine (maybe 10.6.6 or something as that's when people had some of the issues above):
1) At some point in time, Time Machine may not update a necessary Security package (and probably other files too - I believe the files around it were also not updated), meaning that if you use that Time Machine to restore, the outdated package will cause your computer to fail to boot.
2) Transferring your backups to a new destination Time Machine drive may cause certain files to become user immutable or 'locked', with one consequence being you cannot update the OS.
3) Time Machine may fail to backup image files with the Aperture or iPhoto Library. Trying to remember back, I *think* this may be related to the fact that we changed time zones, as the unupdated image files were after the zones were changed. Strangely, every other file within the Library packages were updated, as album data was updated - just not the actual image files and folders.
Conclusion? I no longer trust Time Machine. The basic foundation of a backup service is that you trust it to do what it's supposed to do. After all this, how can I?
You might think they are isolated incidents, but they were occurring on two Macs that I have, and they same errors can be found in others.I think I have detailed some root causes, but who really knows.
At any rate you should keep an eye on at least these files I have detailed. Would love to hear Pondini on the matter, as I know he knows a lot about Time Machine.

Someone has suggested just installing Snow Leopard on the machine. Will that work?
If you can find a copy of the workstation version of Snow Leopard shipped with the same model of Mac mini, yes. Apple has not, to my knowledge, shipped a retail version of Snow Leopard new enough to boot your mini.
I've also heard there is a way to install SL while connected to my old Powerbook in order to suck the entire old drive onto the new machine in an operable manner. Is this accurate, and can this be done if my old machine is the Powerbook on the old apple chip when the new machine is intel based
No, it's not accurate. The OS on your PowerBook will not boot your mini.
what are the differences between the single pack and the family pack?
If you mean single and family pack of Mac OS X, the single pack is licensed for installation on one computer only, while the family pack is licensed for installation on up to five Macs.
Regards.

Snow Leopard page doesn't appear propertly

I upgraded to Snow Leopard but now my att.net homepage does not display properly. Some of the news stories are in the upper lefthand corner of the screen and do not display properly. It is not possible to click on the story to open the story. The text does not display properly when other articles are opened. All this is on the ATT/Yahoo homepage. How do I get the page to display correctly? Thanks.

Try a different browser, from which ever one you're using.
And, run Software Update until you get to 10.6.8 in lieu of the 10.6.3 that you're currently showing in your info stats.

Snow Leopard Installer doesn't detect my hard drive?! help!

After my earlier post, where my replacement 320gig hard drive is incorrectly (not GUID) partitioned, I backed everything up, made a time machine copy just to be safe, and set about formatting the entire drive, doing a fresh install, and then updating via one of my back ups etc.
However, when I tried restarting from the CDRom, it just hung on the Apple grey splash screen for about 10 minutes with nothing happening, I restarted and held one 'ALT' the two options were my hard drive and the Snow Leopard install disk - I selected the install disk and after short while I was presented with the installer.
The installer displayed no hard drive, nor did the disk utility within' the installer, I can't think what the problem could be, as, as soon as I ejected the installer cd, I booted straight back into my normal system (which I am writing this on now).
I really am stumped as what to do next, comments, suggestions and observations welcome :-D
Andy (D-F3ens)

I tried that and the both disk's pass the verification, the problem is the installer detecting my hard drive.
When i'm running 10.5 and try to install from the SL Disk it picks up the hard drive (but says it cannot install to this volume, use disk utility etc) - its when I restart and enter the installer via the splash menu, it fails to pick up my hard drive.
I cant see any other way of partitioning my drive to the required GUID, even when I made a seperate 20gig partition, it remains as Mac OSX Journaled on the same drive thats partition scheme is 'Apple Partition Map'.
Bootcamp will not help me either, I thought of creating a seperate partition and installing it to that, then reformatting the rest of the drive from within' SL, but Bootcamp says that it cannot modify the 'startup disk' and says it requires reformatting.
I really am stumped as to what to do next, I can't understand why the installer picks up the hard drive whilst its running, but when its in the installer it doesn't
Help!!!!

Snow Leopard installation doesn't back up using TC Disk

Hi,
Has anyone else on here had problems with Snow Leopard not working with an Apple Time Capsule? OS X 10.5.8 allows for Time Machine backups to be successfully created however this no longer works on my MacBook. The TC Disk is recognised however all attempts to make backups fail.
Not having a lot of luck with my Apple 1Tb Time Capsule. Doesn't allow for USB External Hard Disk Drives nor USB Sticks to be attached furthermore on the subject of Snow Leopard it's bricked my Macintel Mac Mini.
Hope Apple can address these issues.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Best Regards.
