Strange iCal entries

I have a rather strange question (or maybe it's not).
I was putting some entries into iCal for the first time on my brand new Macbook, and found 2 entries already in there: 'Pad Lock' in the ToDo list, and 'Massage' on 2nd Nov 2005 in the Calender.
Is this normal, or is my new Macbook not as new as I think it is?
Apologies if this is a silly question, and they're example entries or something

Ignore the above, I was being very stupid
The mysterious entries came from my girlfriend's mobile phone, which she had iSync'd with the Macbook!
Thanks

I want to cut and paste iCal entries on iPad. Have seen a number of questions raised but no definitive answer - is it possible or not? (I use Bento but that doesn't sync with ICal now so can use that solution)

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and let it sync with my Macbook and now all my iPhone iCal entries are gone. How can I get my iCal events back on my iPhone?

Me too! Help anyone?

I use floating time zone with all of my iCal entries. But then the times of the entries do not print when printing month view. Is there a fix for this?

Sorry to have repeated this question as if I were answering it. Just a mistake. I'm just now learning how to use this site.

I just installed Yosemite. Notifications Center will not show ICal entries that were on my ICal at time of installation. How do I get events to show in Notification Center?

Is it possible to make an iCal entry "blink"?

Is it possible to make an iCal entry "blink" -- that is, turn on and off to attract one's attention to it?

Roger:
Thanks for your prompt answer. Even though it's not currently supported, I think it'd be a nice feature to have -- to "highlight" a very important to-do on one's calendar.

How do you date and time stamp iCal entries? We share an event calendar and need to know when a new event was entered into iCal.

BKBK,
Thank you for your response. That does adequately cover the
client-originated sessions, but still leaves the ability I am
looking for unavailable.
It did serve to definitively answer my most pressing
question, however, with this statement:
Note: ColdFusion cannot create a session if an initiator
application uses a SendGatewayMessage method to start an
interaction with a client, such as an SMS user. In this case, the
sending code must keep track (for example, in a database) of the
messages it sends and their destinations. When a response event
arrives, it can look up the origniatorID to determine whether it
was in response to an outgoing message.
I will play around with the Application scope to see if there
might be a workable solution there.

ICal entries vanish after sync with GroupCal 2.5 Beta

I was wondering if anyone else may have this problem or maybe even a solution. I tried syncing iCal (2.0.2) with my work's exchange server (2003) using Groupcal 2.5 Beta. Everything went really well, all my iCal entries appeared in Exchange, however when the data was ready to go back into iCal an error popped up:
iCal was unable to load the calendar. The file might be corrupted or temporarily unreadable...
I've asked the software developers if there's anything I can do, but they've been giving me the silent treatment. I realise this is a beta and I may be stuck with this problem until version 3.0 comes out, but I'd like to see if anyone has had the Beta working and how they set it up...
Cheers.

I'd like to second your request to Apple. iCal 2.0.3 is quite close already: it can receive and send meeting requests to Exchange clients. One crucial thing missing is support for the https protocol. That would allow us to subscribe to Exchange calendars via the https://your.company.com/exchange/user.name/calendar/ url (supposing the OWA calendar format is compatible with iCal, which is not very likely).

Automatically create iCal entry with an email alarm from a Mail.app email?

Hi..
Hope you can help?
I want to set up iCal/Mail.app so that it automatically creates a new iCal entry in a specific calendar when an email is received that contains a date in the body of the message...
Is there a way of doing this with Automator?
This reason I am asking is that I am trying to put a link on my online store where people can click for a gift reminder email that will be sent to them on a date they specify in the body of their email.
The link could pop-up a new email window pre-filled with Subject: 'Gift Reminder' and addressed to '[email protected]' They would be instructed to enter a single date in the text area and press Send...
Then, when Mail.app receives the email, it would move it to a Folder called 'Gift Reminders' and automatically set up a new iCal entry that has an alarm to email the sender on that date with an email containing the Subject 'The Gift Reminder you Requested' etc and some different text in the body... It would be great if this could be set up to repeat annually also as the gift reminder is primarily for birthday gifts...
Id there an Automator script / plug-in or way of making this happen??
Any help greatly appreciated, though my knowledge of scripts / Automator etc is quite limited I am willing to try out any suggestions!
Thanks,
Jon.

Tried a restart which showed 2183 emails unable to move which is kind of bonkers and had to quit Mail> restart and moving emails from search now appears to be working. Apple owes me about 500 hours of my life so far with Mavericks!

Duplicate ical entries after upgrade to icloud

Hi,
Have no idea why this has happened, but basically I have been syncing using itunes manually via a cable, got the email from Apple to upgrade, went through the process, now its all on icloud, but I have noticed I have dupliate ical entries.
what is the best way to sort this out now?

ok, I just used the app iCal Dupe Deletor and it found 500 dupes, went through and deleted them all
BUT.... when iCal updated to icloud, it just brought them all back from what I can see and they are all there again
whats the best fool-proof way of sorting this?
pleeeease there, so close but yet so far.....

Lost ical entries

Reinstalled system software on my eMac recently. It wiped out all the ical calendar entries. I recently bought an ibook and transferred everything from the eMac, icncluding the calendar, so I have backup data. However when using Migration Assistant from the eMac to ibook, I noticed it appeared to transfer everything, files, application, settings, etc, regardless of what i selected to be transferred.
I was able to trnasfer most info back to the eMac via CD-ROM,. Anyone have a suggesion for transferring just the ical entries back to eMac??

two choices:
1) Export the calendars on the ibook; move them to the eMac then import them
2) On the iBook in iCal in the file menu, choose "Back up Database..." then move this backup to the emac and there choose "Revert to Database Backup..." selecting the iBook backup you just moved.

E71 cannot add iCal entries to Calendar

Whenever I or someone else forwards to me an iCal calendar entry, as an email attachment, I get an error message, from my Nokia E71, when I attempt to open the iCal entry and add it to the native calendar.
Here's what happens:
Email is received.
Open attachment
Message is "Calendar entry Add to Calendar?"
I select "Yes"
Message is "Calendar entry Failed to add to calendar"
the iCal attachments are coming from Microsoft Outlook.
Is there a problem with the iCal format, being sent from Outlook, or with the E71's ability to read the iCal file and add it to its calendar?
If not iCal, is there another way to send calendar entries from Outlook?

Looks like it's an Outlook 2007 issue rather than Nokia....

Creating iCal entries based on date/time appearing in text on any app

One thing I like about iCal's integration with Apple Mail is that the mail client is able to sense dates and times in email messages and then allow you to create iCal entries. But it seems that this date and time sensing is only limited to Apple Mail when technically users could potentially want to create iCal entries when a date and time appears on any app, such as on a web page in a web browser, in a PDF, or a word processing document. It seems logical then for iCal to be integrated with OS X's text services, so that at least if I highlighted a date and time, I could right click on it and bring up an option to create an iCal entry on based on that date and time.
Does anyone know if this feature is natively supported (for which I have yet to enable), or is there a third party app out there that will allow me to do this?

Just a quick update. I tried the first two -- text2cal and Calendar Creator -- and they don't seem to work on OS X 10.6.6.
However, on another note, I found some discussion regarding Snow Leopard's enhanced data detectors being natively able to do what I've been looking for. But I just can't seem to get it to work on my computer:
"Enhanced Data Detectors now link dates, times and other items found in text to actionable items in other applications, like iCal. For example, a drop-down menu that automatically appears when you select the time or date parts in a text enables you to create a new iCal event from a selected date or show the date in iCal."

ICloud is randomly deleting iCal entries

At several points over the past week, I thought my calendar appeared unusually "thinned out". Then last night I noticed an appointment I had been delaying for a while was nowhere to be seen.
At first I thought it may be somewhere on my calendar, a week back or so. This is because I had been rescheduling that appointment often, so I had moved it back, a day here and a day there, every week for the past month or so. I knew the exact title of the entry so I did a search for it.
It was gone. Apparently deleted. I refreshed everything and even checked my iPad & iPhone calendars for it Nothing...
I blamed myself, re-created the entry, and moved on. At this time I also made several new entries and planned my week. Then today I went back to my calendar on my Mac, opened iCal, saw the appointments for today, that I entered last night, disappear before my very eyes. I then picked up my iPhone to view the calendar there, and they were gone.
Next I picked up my iPad and turned off Wi-Fi as quickly as possible. Once Wi-Fi was disconnected and I was no longer online, I opened iCal and there were my appointments. There were five different instances of appointments scheduled last night that we're now deleted and gone. This is important because it rules out an accidental deletion. I took a screen grab to preserve my data, and went looking for answers. I found none.
I'm freaked out. I live & die by my iCal and I'm worried this has happened before where maybe I didn't notice.
The only recent change I can possibly link to this iCloud synced iCal, is that I allowed an app called FlightTrack Pro to "Sync with iCloud". Which is relatively reassuring, only because it was a fairly new addition, therefore decreasing the likelihood that there were problems in the past. IF its this access causing the deletions.
Any ideas?

I had the exact same thing happen several times. I too independently concluded that it could only be the updated FlightTrack Pro App feature as you stated. It was the only new thing on my devices. My Apple tech support expert told me to read your entry. I agree and disabled the 'SYnc with iCloud' feature. But I'm still allowing the 'SYnc with Calendar' option. But if the iCal entries that I just made disappear again, I will then disable that button on FT Pro. A major pain.
