Where are my calendars and events?

Hello everybody!
I am a frequent user of iCal, but something weird is happening now. I started up my Macbook (10.5.6) and it is not working. When I start up iCal, my calendars list is empty, and so are all my events. iTunes (when I look under "info" and "calendars") shows me a list of calendars called "Untitled", but iCal refuses to admit any exist. Can anybody please help me!! At the moment, I am entering new events on my iPod, but I cannot rename any of the untitled calendars and I cant do anything with iCal. Stupid thing.
I didnt have this problem last week, only today (Friday). Last I used iCal was Monday, so almost five days ago, and it was perfectly fine.
Thanks to all who help!
James

OK. I just got off the phone with a dude at Apple. Here's what we did:
After playing around with .plist files etc. we made a new account to see where the problem was ( /Library or /Users/~~/Library). The error was in my library folder, because the other account had a working version of iCal.
Once we got that far, we had two choices:
1. Take out all of the folders in the library folder and place them into library.old, and drag 'n' drop one folder at a time whilst logging in and out of the machine after each one to isolate the error.
Or
2. Use a Leopard Disc to conduct an Archive & Install process, which will move the entire contents of the OS into a folder called "Previous System" in the root of the hard drive, and then the installer would install a clean OS.
However, each of those would take a considerable amount of time, but the Archive & Install would be easier. Then the Apple guy had an idea:
We moved the Calendars folder (in the library folder of your account ie James/Library/) to the desktop, and then we emptied *the contents of* the caches folder (don't delete the folder itself he said) and empty the trash. When the trash is emptied, move the calendars folder back into the Library folder, log out and in, and when iCal starts the error is fixed!
Hooray! The iCal issue is solved! Well, mine is! Hopefully this will fix yours too!

Where are my Calendars and my Notes??

I have just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and am checking through everything. Most things appear ok (even if Mail is rather different....) However two vital things I need appear incorrect:
1. I run several calendars and manage my whole work via them - I see clients for two practices and manage them via my calendars plus everything else. It appears that my work calendars and a few others have disappeared (including all my booked clients for tomorrow!!!) and it even appears to have picked up a recurring calendar item that I deleted 12 months ago..... Really hoping this will be quick and easy to fix!
2. I have been using Notes within Mail for everything - I no longer use a pen and paper. It's great that Notes have been moved out to be on their own but where are all my notes with details of all sorts of vital things?
Hoping you can provide some urgent suggestions as it is 10:49 pm here, so Apple Support is not available till 9:00am tomorrow and I need to know a few things before then (like, what clients do I have when, and what is the Case Number of the Apple Support call I made this morning about this install?)

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files (purchases and songs from CD etc) and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

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.

Calendars and event data lost in mountain lion upgrade from snow leopard on mac book pro

I just upgraded to mountain lion today. It appears my contacts and emails were transferred without loss to the new system but all of my calendar data and the calendars themselves have disappeared. Does anyone know how I can get my old calendars and event data back? I backed up my laptop on time machine before doing the upgrade, so my old calendars should be on my external hard drive. I'd like to simple recover the data from the laptop if it is just hidden somewhere. Alternatively, if someone could tell me how to import the backed up calendars back in that might be a good plan B. I also still have the old calendars on my iphone which I am afraid to sync for fear of data loss.
I looked through previous responses in the community to this same question and I tried deleting the account and adding it back in but that did not work. Any assistance would be appreciated. Apple support is giving me an cold shoulder that is rather unexpected given my past good experience with Apple support. Bummin out over here

Which way do you reinstall OSX?
I would go through the recovery partition, check Disk there and then run the installer. make sure you have a reliable connection the the Internet.
This could be a third party app you have running in the background that is crashing. what exactly is crashing ?
are you getting kernel Panics?
You are not able to simply roll back to Snow Leopard, you will have to have a SL disk, and then erase and install SL onto you hdd/ssd. This will erase ALL of your data so I hope you have a Time Machine backup or bootable clone.
I believe your issue is with a third party application installed.
More information is needed.
Call 1-800-My-Apple or file a dispute here https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action
On a personal note, I think you are missing out on ML and need to figure out if there is an application running that is causing ML to crash.
Usually a reinstall fixes my issues.

Lost all calendars and events

i tried to sync ical and a google calendar, and it worked for a bit, but then suddenly all my calendars and events disappeared.
now i cant even open the preferences window or add any events at all
when i double click on the "to do" section, i get a popup that says
"You can’t change events or to do items in the selected calendar. Only the calendar administrator and any delegates with permission can make changes to read-only calendars. To make changes to the calendar, contact the calendar administrator."
can anyone help me fix this? id like to recover my events and calendars

I've had the exact same issue -- I had calendars last week, now nothing (and I can't add any calendars, even though it's my home computer and I have the admin password, of course.) I thought it might have been caused by Yahoo!, Google, or my 3rd-party software (Missing Sync) but I think you have at least allowed me to narrow it down to Google.
Did you ever get your issue resolved?

In Mountain Lion - where are the calendar files stored?

My wife synced her calendars with icloud and google calendar and wiped out her events. I have backups on a HD and Time Machine but I do not know where the calendar files are stored in ML.
I previous OS's I would look in Application Support but that does not seem to work in ML.
Where can I find these calendar files stored.
Thank you

They are in ~/Library/Calendars, where the '~' represents the user's home folder. The problem is that that Library folder is invisible now. You can easily access it by holding down the option key and choosing Library from the Finder's Go menu.

Where are my calendar entries from 2011?

I can no longer access any calendar entries from 2011. They are GONE. As a test, I made another entry in the December 2011 calendar, and within five seconds, it disappeared! Where are my entires for all of last year? How do I get them back? I do not have a calendar program on my PC, and I never set any preferences when I installed Icloud, and I cannot access calendars in Icloud without installing Outlook. I dont want Outlook. I want my data back from the cloud! HELP!

You need to find out how the Google calendar application imports calendars from Macs. As for the Calendar itself you can export the calendar to a file. The Google calendar should be able to Import that file.

Where are the home and end keys

in iphoto to move from the top of your events to the bottom or vice versa the shortcut says to either use the" home key"or the "end key" my question is where are they?

When I have "All Events" displayed in iPhoto 9.2.1 (the latest version), neither of the preceding two suggestions takes me instantly to the beginning or the end of the displayed event grid. What does the trick for me is Fn + left arrow and Fn + right arrow. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, in case that makes any difference.

I have my computer connected to an external hard drive, almost all of the time. Are the calendar and the contacts backed up when everything else is?

If my calendar and address are backed up to the "time machine," how can I retrieve them. When I look at what is on the time machine, I'm seeing the folders that are on my desktop, but that's all.

Close iTunes. Click the icon to start it, then press and hold down the left shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Choose the iTunes folder on your external drive. That should bring back all your playlists, ratings, play counts etc. You may have to settle for removing and reloading the media onto the device again. That's not too bad, but what you don't want to have happen is your apps being removed and reloaded as then you can lose settings and data. If that looks likely backup and then restore the device rather than sync it.
If for some reason rebuilding the library the way you did has moved files around then the restored library may have trouble finding things. If so post back and I'll explain what to do...
