Text missing from iCal

Hi Everyone,
I recently typed in a lot of text in my iCal giving details on specific events that take place for several hours. When I came back in today and opened my iCal I found that half of the longer explanations in calendar events was gone and replaced by elipses. Can someone tell me how to keep this from happening? And if it's possible to get all the text back that I put in?
Thanks!

Calendar missing from iCal's list.

Noticed today that our Work calendar is missing from iCal's list. Checked partner's iMac, iPad, 2 iPhones, MobileMe. Missing from all of them. Turned off syncing with MobileMe on both iMacs & all other devices. Quit iCal/Calendar on everything.
In Finder window selected ~/Library. Entered Time Machine. Selected ~/Library/Calendars. Selected a timeline a few days back. Clicked Restore. Said 'Keep both', & removed original from Library folder.
Opened iCal. When it first loaded the calendars, Work was there, but it quickly disappeared and what's more, events added in other calendars since the timeline date chosen were there too. So there's something else (to do with Sync Services?) I need to turn off or delete....?
I'll be very grateful for enlightenment here.
OS is 10.6.8

These are evidently MobileMe calendars, to which the Apple Tech Note linked to above does not apply; and turning off syncing in System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync has no effect on iCal syncing which no longer uses that method.
This is why your calendar is disappearing: MobileMe sees it as deleted, so every time you add it back in from Time Machine (whereupon it has an earlier modification date than the deletion) MobileMe brings it up to date by deleting it, and also updates the other calendars.
There is a method for dealing with this issue, though it's a trifle complicated and you need to work through the steps carefully and exactly. The process is detailed here:

Text missing from user notification email

I set up a form and embedded it on our web site. For every completed form I received an email containing all the text submitted.
The users also received a notification email, but some of the text was missing from the responses. It appears that only the text that was visible in the box on the screen gets sent to the user.
Is this a known bug?
Mike

Hi Mike,
This is the first time we've heard about something like this. I'd like to investigate. Would it be possible for you to forward a copy of an email sent to you as well as the corresponding email sent to the user? Also, if you could include the URL to your form that would also help.
You can email me directly at [email protected]
Thanks,
Shannon

Text missing from vertical view- Ibooks Author product

I made a book in ibooks author. In the horizontal view, it looks perfect. In the vertical view, large chunks of text are missing from the book semi at-random. If I attempt to insert the missing chunks of text into the vertical view, then when I switch back over to the horizontal view, I just get repetition where the text shows up twice. That means it is impossible to make the book look good both horizontally & vertically. Any idea how to solve?

Text missing from menus and icons

Can anyone help? All the text is missing from my Mac Mini! Every menu in every application and on every icon: there is simply no text. My computer is completely unusable!

Hi.
Try booting into Safe Mode, by holding the Shift key at startup (right after the chime, and until the gray screen with the spinning gear). It will clear the system fonts cache, and run the fsck command (repair the boot volume).
Good Luck.

Why are some text missing from the right side of a page I send to my printer? Thanks

Why is some of the text missing on the right side of a page I send to my printer?

I came across something similar recently where it printed the left hand side only!
If I want to print an email, instead of File > Print ( does not print properly ) I click on the print icon on my email webpage ( do not use applemail and access gmail direct) which then takes me to print preview showing the complete email which prints ok.
Some webpages ( File>Print) do not print properly and some do. Those that do not generally have their own printer icon (path) that needs to be clicked on.
Maybe something to do with encryption but don't know.
Hope this helps in some way.

Calendars and events are missing from iCal

What happened was I closed the lid of my MacBook Pro to put it to sleep. When I opened the lid to wake it, the screen was dark, like it was between 0 brightness and the lowest brightness setting. It also was not responding to trackpad or keyboard input, so I restarted it. However, when my computer started up, it seems as if my Mail.app had reset and everything was gone from my iCal. With Mail.app, after I redid one account, it seemed to return to normal. With iCal, I tried to sync it with my Palm, hoping that my calendars and events would get transferred to iCal. However, that didn't work, and I am getting errors with Missing Sync. The errors I'm getting are:
OK TimeCopy
OK Mark/Space Conduit for AvantGo
OK Mark/Space Contacts
SyncClient error. Mingling failed.
OK Mark/Space Events with 1 message(s)
No folders have been selected to synchronize.
OK Mark/Space Folder Sync
OK Mark/Space MemoPad
OK Mark/Space Photos
This conduit cannot be synchronized because there are no writable calendars available to synchronize. To correct this, select a writable calendar in the conduit's configuration window.
No writable calendars exist
OK Mark/Space Tasks with 2 message(s)
OK Adobe Reader
OK Documents To Go
OK Note Pad
Anyone have ideas where the issue is?

If you want to use your back up you need to restore then entire Library from Time Machine, and then replace the damaged Library with it.
Regards

Text missing from PDF created in Excel

I have been creating a pdf file from an Excel spreadsheet for many weeks but last week the pdf file suddenly stopped displaying text in one corner of the screen:
But the missing text does display in Print Preview:
The font is consistent across the whole document and I cannot find any reason why this text will not display in that corner of the pdf.
Does anybody have any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?

The problem is actually caused by the following update for excel which was rolled out on Dec 14, 2011.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2596596
Here is some more discussion about it:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/nl/exceldev/thread/dec1c975-16b1-4b42-af44-a019740 bc910
The hotfix should be coming soon, but for now you can simply uninstall update KB2596596

Text missing from PDF

I am a long-time and very experienced user of FrameMaker, Acrobat, and all associated tools. My XP-SP2 system is thoroughly debugged and fully updated.
When I create PDFs in Frame, sections of the text come up missing. The document remains correctly formatted and organized - there are simply missing sentences, paragraphs, etc. in no discernible pattern. I have tried every fix I can think of and all those I have found by searching online - to no avail.
These documents are created from scratch in Frame 7.2p158; I have updated the installation at least once without solving the problem. The PDFs are being created by every known process: print to Distiller (7.0) within Frame; Save As PDF; print to generic PostScript and pass to Distiller. The missing text remains consistent within all processes.
The fonts involved range from junk of unknown origin to (most of my fonts) true Adobe Postscript. Changing fonts does not cure the problem, although it sometimes changes which parts disappear. There is no particularly complex formatting involved (no equations, no unusual character overrides). These documents are mostly contracts and other simple but rigidly formatted documents. None involve imported graphics.
I have tried all variations of saving to MIF and RTF and re-importing. This sometimes changes the faults, but does not cure them.
This problem occurs ONLY with FrameMaker. I can export perfect PDFs, some from very complex source documents, from Word, InDesign, CorelDRAW and a dozen other tools, using any fonts on my system.
(I am dismayed at how hard Adobe support has gotten to use - as the owner of nine of their most expensive apps, I should be able to get better online support without calling in and begging permission!)
If anyone can point me to a known bug, a known fix, or a good starting point for unraveling this problem - or confirm that they've seen a similar error - I would appreciate it!

Sherman - I've tried every possible path from FrameMaker document to PDF, including hand-cranked processes using a variety of PS print drivers and reducing the resolutions to dot-matrix levels. The fix is very hit-or-miss.
Bernd - your situation is similar to mine. I finally got my critical document to print by using a different PS driver (a Xerox RIP, can't recall exactly which model at this moment.) Then I went to print out a companion document a few days later... same round of problems that I could not fix.
So I went to reinstall Frame 6 on my system... and ran into the "too much memory" problem. I reset the virtual memory down to ridiculous levels (100 MB) and still got errors.
So - I installed Frame 6 on my new system, a dual-Opteron monster with not 2GB, but 4GB of RAM. Perhaps it's the better memory management of that system (with Windows XP64) but I had no problem and printed the document (via print to PS and manual processing to PDF) just fine.
Then I zipped up the Frame 6 installation and dumped it on the older system, where it works fine except for the persistent registry warnings - which I'll fix when I have a moment. However, THE SAME DOCUMENT, when saved from Frame 7.2 into v6 format, and opened in Frame 6, caused the same missing-text problems through several approaches.
I might be stating the obvious, but this is a major, major bug and it lies wholly within Adobe's product circle. It should not have existed with the final release or at least should have been fixed early on... yet here we are more than a year into it with no fix in sight (except a crappy, half-effective workaround).
And I have discovered, to my frustration and dismay, that InDesign makes a very poor substitute for Frame when doing long documents. Part of it was unfamiliarity with things like flowing text over multiple pages, but after an hour's work I still had nothing that looked like my relatively simple Frame document... and I had to spend two hours on the above process to get the stupid thing to PDF so I could get it to the client.
I realize FrameMaker is a minor product and an unwanted stepchild, without the glitz, glamor and recognition of Photoshop or Premiere, but really, Adobe... this clusterf*ck is beneath you!

Sidebar missing from iCal in Lion - seeking a third party product to restore lost functionality

Apple has removed the sidebar, the always-on list of calendars that required no click.
The shallow popover that appears only when clicked — obscuring part of the calendar before disappearing — is to me (and some others) an unacceptable substitute for working with multiple calendars, especially where calendars are grouped across multiple servers.
I'm aware of third party alternatives to iCal. (Most full-featured calendar interfaces do have an always-on full-height list of calendars. Probably the best known alternative to iCal is BusyCal.)
This topic does not seek alternatives; I do wish to continue using iCal, albeit in a way that is less frustrating than what Apple forces upon users of 10.7.
This topic seeks:
a third party product that will restore lost functionality to iCal.
To any developer who reads this topic: please, I beg you, on my knees, submit your iCal sidebar app — or whatever you wish to call it — to the App Store as soon as you can. I'll gladly pay, and more than gladly help to test any pre-Store development version.
Other readers please note: whilst I'm extraordinarily frustrated by Apple's design decision, this is not an invitation to rant. Let's gain something constructive from this discussion.
If you wish Apple to restore the sidebar to iCal, as an option, then please:
submit iCal feedback to Apple, with your use case; explain why for you personally the limited disappearing popover is a poor substitute; explain how the sidebar will improve both (a) your productivity and (b) your appreciation of Apple's software.
Side note: no category includes iCal, so I file this opening post under Using Mac OS X v10.7 Lion.
Thank you
Graham

the new way
Many things in the new iCal are beautifully designed. I am certain that the new iCal will be enjoyed by people who use the new multi-session screen sharing for Mac OS on iOS (that should be a separate topic).
iCal's aqua popover default may be perfect for people who have only a handful of calendars.
Critically
The new design fails completely to offer an always-on full-height list of calendars — invaluable when working with more than a handful of things.
The screenshot below, taken whilst evaluating BusyCal, shows a subset of my list of calendars (more than the average user, that's why an always-on list is so valuable). In shot: three accounts on a CalDAV server. I have other, lesser used accounts on other CalDAV servers. Also some use of Exchange servers. My own case is extreme but there's a guiding principle for a variety of use cases:
some users need to see the list of calendars all the time.
What's exmplified below has become impossible in iCal 5.0 (1535) in Mac OS X 10.7 (Build 11A511).
I plead with Apple, or a third party developer, to restore the sidebar list of calendars to iCal.
Apple's limitation is acceptable when the user has only two calendars —
— but for some other classes of user, completely inappropriate.
The percentage of users troubled by the loss of functionality may be less than the percentage enjoying the popover, but that in itself does not reduce the trouble, the frustration.
The sidebar was present in 10.4, removed in 10.5. Many users of 10.5 complained.
The sidebar reappeared in 10.6. Removal in 10.7 is almost completely dumbfounding.
I would like to say, "give it time — the more you use it, the more it will be appreciated" but for me this is not true. For some weeks I tried to work with this build of iCal and the more I used it, the greater the frustration. I grew to avoid iCal.
In most ways the feature set of iCal is unequalled. Support for many standards is excellent. The removal of the sidebar is a blight on this brilliance.
I plead with Apple or a third party developer to fix this at the earliest opportunity. I want Apple iCal — but user-friendly, not crippled.

Text missing from download

Hi,
Sorry I'm VERY new to mac and am very lost!
I downloaded a catalogue all was fine for two weeks then downloaded microsoft office, as someone told me this would enable me to open all my email attachments that wouldn't open. This worked except I lost all the text from this one catalogue. Even when I go back to the website and follow the links only the images show up. Someone else said download iwork that hasn't helped either.
What am I doing wrong? This is probably very simple I'm just so new to this. To frustrate me even more I've been using my old PC as everything opens attachments and this catalogue.
Thanks in advance

Your a legend I just tried it again and it works
Thanks you a million times over! Thank you thank you thank you
Best Regards
Selena

Text missing from returned form

I created a PDF form in InDesign CS6 on a Macbook Pro. The form is quite complicated with many form fields, radio boxes, check boxes, a few required fields and an email submit button. It is used by our sales reps to fill out their customer information for each sale. They hit the email submit button and return the email to our business office, which receives the PDF form in whole (not just the data), and uses it to enter the information into a database. This has been going very smoothly for over a year.
Rather suddenly a few weeks ago, the business office noticed that form fields in returned forms were acting strangely. Text was invisible until the field containing the text was clicked on. Then the text became visible.
The business office was only aware that the text was missing because it was unusual for those particular form fields to be left empty, so they called the sales reps to question the empty fields and were told they had been filled in...once they knew the fields should have been filled, they clicked and voila!...they weren't really empty.
The method used to create the tickets has not been changed in the past few weeks and no updates have been made to the computers that have been creating the tickets, so we believe we have eliminated errors there (but we're open to suggestions there, of course!)
The PDFs are being filled out mostly on computers running Windows XP or above (none running Windows 8) and using Acrobat Reader 10 or 11. They are being opened in the business office on computers running Windows XP. The business office computers are running Acrobat Reader 11.
If you have any thoughts or suggestions on what might be causing the issue of the disappearing text, I'd love to hear them!

Hi Mead324,
This is happening because your user filled the PDF form using MAC Preview. Ask them to fill and submit the form using Adobe Reader and Acrobat only then everything should work fine.

Anoop

Hi,
If you are using WAD to diaply charts, open your web template and select that chart web item and go to properties of that web item. Increase the "Height" and "Width in Pixels" according to your need. Then you will find the texts of those charts in the output. It depends on the size of the chart occupied.

After Effects Text missing from project view (yet renders)

I am new to the CC but have played with Adobe in earlier versions (mostly CS3). I have purchased some project files from videoden to give me a starting point (I learn best when playing with something that already works, picking it apart and rebuilding). Only problem is, the text is never visible when I work.
When I open the project it says: "the project must be converted from version 9.0 (windows). The original file will remain unchanged" There are no font dependency issues reported. When I open a text layer I can see a rectangle, but not the letters. I read on the forum that the cache can cause problems. I emptied it, rebooted and started over, still same problem.
So it is the project that is corrupt, right? Wrong. Even when I make my own, add Arial (or some generic font like that all systems have) it wont show up on screen either. And even the project I was having problems with, when I render it the fonts appear properly.
Is there some view that does not show fonts in text areas?
I am running 8gm ram, win 7, Lenovo, with After Effects CC
