Snow Leopard knocked out iCal

I updated to snow leopard on Wednesday. First my iphone wouldn't sync with the computer and now, iCal freezes as soon as I open it. The only reason I bought snow leopard was to get my desktop ical to sync with my iphone and now its not working...apple support wasn't much help. Any ideas?

Try moving your calendar cache files from your user /Library/Calendars folder to your desktop, then restart iCal. If that doesn't work, try moving the entire Calendars folder. iCal will rebuild these upon restart but this last step will remove all your local calendar events if you have any. Don't worry, they're still in the folder you moved. If you happne to be syncing calendars via mobileme you can just sync them back down. You could also rebuild your events via an iPhone sync.

How can I do a clean install of Snow Leopard with out losing iLife applications?

I bought my Macbook pro in 2009 and am currently running the Leopard software. I want to do a clean install of Snow Leopard, but I do not want to lose my iLife applications. I lost the DVD's that came with the computer. Is there any way I can do a clean install of Snow Leopard with out losing my iLife applications?
Will a regular installation of Snow Leopard allow the App store to recognize that my computer has iLife and mark it as a purchased item in my account. If it can, then would I be able to do a clean install and re-download the apps for free.
Any help would be appreciated!

1. Install Snow Leopard normally; this will keep the applications intact. An actual clean installation involves either erasing the partition or creating a blank one, and neither of those will carry the applications over.
2. The previous iLife installation won't carry over to the Mac App Store, and the Mac App Store versions are incompatible with Snow Leopard.

A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard). Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything.

A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard). Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything. Both the suggestion from HP and Apple, it's making me crazy I've spent most of time trying to fix it.

You tried exactly what ?
I most of the time would start with the same Apple Printer Support page tech articles
OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion systems will have the necessary printing software already installed, or will automatically download and install software when the printer is connected or configured. Do not install software that came with the printer as it may be out of date, and do not connect the printer to your Mac yet. Follow the instructions that came with the printer to unpack, install ink or toner, and insert paper. Finally, use the instructions in this article to connect the printer to your Mac.
Make sure the printer model is listed in Printer and scanner software, which is a comprehensive list of all printer models that have compatible software for OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion.
How to add a printer

Try to delete the print queue under Print & Fax / Print & Scan then manually add a print queue.

Upgraded to Snow Leopard/lost all iCal previous info and Firefox bookmarks

I had previously had a major problem with an Apple automatic update and went thru lots of time and trouble, especially with Safari. After more time than I wanted to spend with Applecare...finally having to do a clean install...I was told all was okay. I still had Safari problems, so I switched to Firefox and was able to import the bookmarks from the old Safari. I was assured that the Snow Leopard was worth doing and would be no problem. So much for that advice. Most everything else seems fine, but all of my data on iCal is lost, as are the bookmarks in Firefox. When I tried to pull same up from Time Machine, I get the message that the version of iCal won't work with this version of Mac OS X. I know the info I want has to be there. Any ideas on how to get that info back? Likewise, bringing Firefox from Time Machine has not found my bookmarks.
I would love to not spend forever with Applecare once again. It seems nothing is simple these days.

don't restore the application itself. applications themselves never contain any user data.
it's all stored in your home directory. for ical quit ical and restore the folder /users/username/library/calendars and for firefox the folder /users/username/library/application support/firefox.

Often can't open Lightroom 3 after going from Leopard to Snow Leopard with out rebooting system...

Ever since I upgraded to snow leopard a month ago or more it seems I can't open Lightroom when I'm ready to run the program without having to restart my computer. This is happening on both my macbook and my new mac mini. I keep my Lightroom catalog on an external hard drive so I can access it from either computer and have an alias stored on both computers that used to open my program when my external was plugged in and ready. I've also noticed since upgrading I'm unable to upload photos from my memory card reader without a lot of fussing around - often needing to reboot to get the import to happen in Lightroom, or just uploading my photos to my desktop without having Lightroom open, then once they're finished uploading I can import and move them into my Lightroom 3 program/catalog/photo storage. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Or what I might need to do to fix these problems?

I think I would look at if you have the latest Parallels;
clone and backup your system and files before doing anything;
boot off 2nd hard drive and run Apple First Aid + (Disk Warrior or DG3 or TechTool Pro 5).
Always be prepared to be able to restore your system to prior point, that could even mean keeping 10.6.4 around for a month until you know 10.6.5 and 3rd party software and drivers all play nice together.
Bottom line: invest in two backup sets and methods; a copy of SuperDuper or CCC; and Disk Warrior.
I've used VBox, Fusion but not Parallels, plus Windows XP Mode, VHDs and VMs under Windows Vista/7.
I'd go back to ERASE and INSTALL and then do all your updates, then start on 3rd party with main packages first (CS5 and others). Off load, save, backup everything and anything you might need first of course.
Last but actually #1: a small 30GB OS X 10.6.5 drive volume (can take the 30GB from one of your backup drive is fine) so you can run the latest DU plus other system maintenance (DVDs get old, out of date, slow to boot, can't use Finder and other programs).

Snow Leopard Upgrade and ICal / CalDav access

I've upgraded half of the computers in the office to Snow Leopard only to find that now upgraded users cannot change the calendars. (problem.)
Getting "Only calendar admin and delegates with permission can make changes"... so no problem right? Just set up delegation on the server... well the version of CalDav we're using doesn't support delegation.
Shouldn't ICal recognize a server that doesn't support delegation instead of making the calendar read-only for everyone since it is impossible to create a delegate?
Solutions?

Confirmed that iCal 4.0 (packaged with Snow Leopard) breaks when used with the Cosmo CalDAV server (http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/CosmoDevelopmentHome). Before in iCal 3.x it worked fine. When attempting to update a calendar I now get the message:
"You can't change events or to do items in the $calendar calendar."
I'd encourage Apple to test iCal with other popular CalDAV servers before releasing it as it is supposed to be compatible with open standards.

ICal & Snow Leopard upgrade. iCal icon is now stuck on July 17th?

Hi everyone,
I have recently upgraded my Mid '07 Mac Mini from Leopard to Snow Leopard and have only come across 3 problems (None really major).
One of these is my iCal dock icon on my dock is stuck on July 17th rather than the present date unless the app is open. (I am aware that July 17 is the default icon).
I've tried the following to fix it and none have worked so far:
Relaunched Dock & Finder
Deleted iCal Preferences in User/Library
Copied the iCal icon with the date on to a variety of places
Removing the dock icon and dragging back in again
Created a new account to see if it's my account with the problem (The problem existed on the new account too).
I can seem to fix this but it was my quick reference to the day's date.
I hope someone can help me. Thank you.

I think only Leopard's iCal has the current date on the dock icon. Tiger and (I guess now) Snow Leopard keep their dock icon on July 17, which is the date that iCal debuted at the MacWorld Expo in New York in 2002. The only time it shows the current date is when the application is running. There is one very simple trick to get it updated and thats to have the app open at login (keep it hidden if you don't want it popping up every time you log on). Other ways include scripting and installing other programs but that can get kinda hectic. =/

MacBook Pro and Leopard knock out my wireless network

I am new to Mac, just having purchased the MacBook Pro with Leopard 10.5.1. installed. I have a Netgear WPN824 router that works perfectly with windows based computers. I use WEP 64 bit security. The MacBook connected with no problem and surfs the web fine until I try to download certain files on the MacBook (such as the HP drivers for my all in one printer) or try certain video feeds online , such as a cnn video. The download not only stops midstream but actually knocks out my entire network causing me to have to unplug my cable modem and router and restart everything. This is a real problem. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? I can download the same files on a Windows laptop with no problem. Help.

Hmm. It might not be the MBP. Are you using Safari? I've noticed that Safari at times is incompatible with many websites. Try downloading Firefox and try the same downloads.

Clean install of Snow Leopard, but keep iCal and iTunes

Dear All,
I would like to do a clean install of Snow Leopard (as I am having problems after doing the upgrade). I know how to do the install, but am confused as to how to transfer back my itunes library and iCal calendars after the install from time machine. Can someone give me easy instructions please?
Thanks, Steve

Thanks VK, dont think i need anything else. Is there anything else I'm obviously missing?
that's up to you to decide. most people want to keep a lot more than you've indicated.
Things like pictures, movies, documents, mail, bookmarks, passwords, applications. that's why I normally recommend backing up the whole drive.
but it's really up to you.
Thanks

Snow Leopard Server SLS + iCal limitations

hi there gang,
has anybody experience calendar limitations on SLS?
I had a mobile account (7 users) with 11 calendars. Occasionally it hiccup'd, so I deployed SLS.
When I restored the calendars to an account I created, not more than the first two calendars would appear to be sent across. i.e if I accessed the calendar account from another client (with the same credentials) or via a webcalendar - I'd still only see the contents of the first two calendars.
It almost seemed like the accounts got out of sync, even though it was the same iCal account.
Is this a limitation of iCal?

Hi
I doubt if you'll find a step-by-step as most people's requirements are different. One of the places most people start is here:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macosxserver
Have you tried searching the Forum itself?
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1352

Can i revert to snow leopard version of ical?

I much preferred the way all my calendars had different coloured text to easily distinguish between them. Also you could see up to three lines of text per notice. Not imppressed with Lion at all

I do not think you can.
If you'd like Apple to know about any features you'd like I suggest you send them feedback.
Best wishes

Macbook won't let Snow Leopard disk out

I restarted my macbook while the disk was still inside and now it won't turn on. The disk won't come out

Try powering up while holding the mose button or trackpad down.

ICal, Busysync, and Snow Leopard

When I was using Tiger, I had iCal 2.0. I wanted to sync back and forth to my Google calendar. So, I bought a 3rd party app called Busysync that did the job just fine. Now I am using Snow Leopard, and my iCal version is 4.0. I am still using Busysync, which syncs just fine, but it looks like the current version of iCal can subscribe to my Google calendar without Busysync. Indeed, I just bought my wife a MacBook Pro, and I set up iCal to sync to Google Calendar no problem. So, is there any reason to continue to use Busysync? Is there something that Busysync does that I am missing here?

Did you ever figure out an answer to this question? I'm wondering the exact same thing and I can't quite figure it out....
