Update: 10.7.2 - Problems with iCal after getting iCloud

Hi all,
So this morning, my iMac updates and installs iCloud. Obviously I was very excited.
Initially everything went well, and all installed as expected. I configured my settings etc.
I then proceeded to open iCal, and it indicated that it wanted to upgrade iCal calanders. This is where it started giving problems.
After displaying the whirling blue status bar (Upgrading iCal calanders) for about a half hour, it stops and says that iCal couldn't move your calanders to iCloud because an error occured: make sure you're connected to the internet and try again. I retried several times, same thing. Shut down, restart my iMac, same thing.
So I figured, lets try on my MacBook. Same sequence of events as above. Now, while its failing to "upgrade" my iCal calanders, it seems like all my iCal entries have been deleted. On both computers. I tried restoring from Time Machine, but it failed.
Any suggestions? Do I just try and try again?
Please help! I'm screwed without my calander!

Managed to restore my calander entries by signing out of iCloud and restoring the iCal backup.
The problem is now, that everytime I sign into iCloud, it deletes all my calander entries and still fails to upgrade my iCal calanders.
Please help!

Problem with internet after getting stuck at loading screen

i'm having a LOT of trouble with my computer.
earlier today, after installing avast antivirus, my macbook completely freaked out, the internet wouldn't work so i restarted. my computer was stuck at the loading screen so i spent 40 minutes on the phone with apple support, and eventually after getting it to work in safe mode, we restarted and it loaded. this was after doing a "repair disk permissions" from the utility disk.
however, now my internet is having TONS of problems. firefox & chrome won't work. in safari, only facebook and my email will load. i have restarted my router but nothing will work. i'm scared to restart my laptop in case i run into problems again and get stuck on the loading screen. thankfully apple is one of the websites that will work...
advice? i'm completely computer illiterate and have no idea what information you need to help. i just know that, as a law student, i really need internet access but none of the websites i need will load. help.
also, as a note - i don't have access to internet other than my own right now & i don't have access to any other computer right now... just this one.

Uninstall that software. If it has an uninstaller, use it. If not, you will have to do so manually by checking the Preferences folder for all the straggler files. There are no viruses for osx according to Apple - http://www.apple.com/why-mac/faq/#viruses
After doing the above, repair permissions and restart your computer.

Problem with Java after Software Update to 10.5.7

Hi,
I am facing problem with Java after having run Software upgrades.
Here is the whole story. I recently moved to iMac 10.5.6 from PowerPc 10.4. On this new machine I was having problem running a 3rd party application, which requires JVM. As this application worked well on Tiger, I decided to upgrade JVM on my iMAC using Software Upgrade(was I insane!!). As I like my systems to be updated (as with linux on my personal machine) I clicked "install all". As a result I have the following upgrades run on my machine:
2009-05-20 13:12:01 +0200: Installed "Mac OS X Update Combined" (10.5.7)

HT1589 problems with itunes after updating..can't locate some of my songs..some have an exclamation point beside them how do i get these songs back in my itunes

I'm having problems with itunes after updating. I've lost all my playlists,,finally played around with it and got the songs back but some have an exclamation point beside them and can't be located. they are songs i've purchased. I'm not very computer literate so this is a major problem. I have spent hours with this. I just want all my songs to play even though I'm not happy that I have to recreate my playlists. It would be so much easier if I knew and understood how to correct this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so..is there an easy way to correct it?

Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

Hi man,
In the wake of this java problem I resorted to keep working on my old machine, and today in my spare time I tried to fix this new machine.
So I execute $java on prompt, and then try to check the files it has opened, using lsof -p pid
I see it referring to
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/bin/java
isn't this usually the JAVA_HOME
However, executing $/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/bin/java
hangs!!
but
$/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/java
works!!
$ pwd
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin
$ ./java -version
java version "1.6.0_07"

Linking my Current and CurrentJDK to 1.6 and it works!
However, shall that be the reason!
what is in your /Versions/Current/
I got the following
$ ls /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current

There is no /Home in here, which is usually the case for /1.5 or /1.6
Anyways, things seems to work for the moment. Lets see if I get problem with using Java.

Problems with Mail after upgrading to 10.9.1

I am running into problems with Mail after installing 10.9.1. I had NO problems with Mail prior to this update.
Problems I have encountered so far are:
- I don't receive some e-mails on my Gmail account.
- I have sent e-mails that supposedly got "sent" but do not show up in my Sent box both on mail and on web Gmail. My Outbox is empty also.
Has anyone encountered the same problems and found a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Yes Paul I have, but no solution. I cannot send email. My ISP uses a smtp mail server for sending and It will not log in. Have had ISP on phone and checked all settings. Can only put it down to Mavericks.
It worked OK for a week after upgrading then stopped. So now having to use web mail to send email.
Strange thing is I receive mail OK, just cant send.

GUI problem with iCal

Suddenly I am experiencing problems with iCal crashing after I try to drag items into the TO DO column. The calender grid suddenly shows through the TO DO area and everything comes to a halt. Any suggestions.
Dual 450 G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

When I try to do anything involving the "to do"'s things just stop working. Here is where it gets strange. If I transfer via iSync a "to do" from my palm pilot to iCal the "to do" will not show up in iCal. BUT then when I sync Omni Outliner with iCal it will pull the "to do" from somewhere in iCal and put it in the "in box" in Omni Outliner. What in the heck is going on here?

Since updating Firefox I have problems with playing Zynga games

since updating Firefox I have problems with the Zynga games I am playing. The functions often stop working so I have to reboot the game. Also there are often a lot of items missing on my screen so I can't play at all

I have this problem, as well, since the upgrade to 4.0.1. After the upgrade, I found several 'Recovered Files' in my Trash. On taking a look, they all had to do with the Crowdstar app. Happy Aquarium, I believe, but there are several folders of them. Some of them could have to do with Zynga's FarmVille.
However, after repeated problems, I installed Chrome 10. to see if the Facebook apps. would work. They did, without problems. That tells me the folders in Trash shouldn't have anything to do with whether they operate or not but it has something to do with something Firefox has done, or not done, with this upgrade. Frankly, I'm baffled and more than a little annoyed. :/
However, thinking back to the upgrade, it happened suddenly while I was on the phone with AppleCare on another matter. It was they who suggested I needed to upgrade my browser and I did it immediately, on-the-spot. It wasn't what you would call a 'clean install' because I was on the phone but also online with AppleCare. The process went so fast, I remember there were things about the installation that didn't quite seem right and I do remember that the earlier version of Firefox was not removed prior to the upgrade. Is there any chance something could be out-of whack because of this? If so, I need to know how to save my passwords, bookmarks, profile, and any other critical info that would need to be transferred.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Hi everyone. I have just started having problems with iCal. Events that I thought I had deleted are appearing on Print Preview and on print outs. Likewise Events which I have not deleted have disappeared from my calenders, but appear in print preview.

Hi everybody. I have recently started having problems with iCal (Version 2.05 (1069). Events that I thought I had deleted appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. Likewise Events that I have not deleted have disappeared from my calender (Month View) but appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. I see that there have been similar problems with Events disappearing especially in Month View. I wondered how print preview seemrd to be picking everything up deleted or not, and what the solution may be?. First time of Posting. I hope I haven't embarassed myself.

Hmmmm.
At the very least there must be a "com.apple.ical.plist"...iCal would not function without it.
Click on the Finder icon in the dock
Click on Go > Home
Double-click Library
Double-click Preferences
Look for a file called "com.apple.ical.plist" and remove it to the trash.
