Why are my iCal calendars randomly disappearing with all their corresponding events?

Why are my ical calendars randonly disappearing? I updated to Maverick, but one disappeared before I did that update. I have 10 different calendars, each identified by its own color, example: "work" calendar is yellow, my personal calendar is green. Every month or so, one randomly disappears without my even being in the program or changing anything. Along with the calendar ALL its events are gone as well. None of those events show on my iphone, imac, ipad or macboook pro. They just vanish, along with many appointments I have scheduled, and their directions and info. Im SO FRUSTRATED! Im ready to go back to paper.

Got it fixed cal got set for icloud on my iphone. now I can choose them in itunes.

  • Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?

    Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?  I don't need the calendar grid.  I just want a list of events on a particular calendar, and their dates.  Is that possible? 

    Not easily. Two possibilities:
    1) If all the events have some common feature (eg you have included "XXX" in all the summaries), search for that feature then select and copy the found items at the bottom of the window. You can then paste them into TextEdit or a spreadsheet for printing
    2) You could write an Applescript to locate the events and write them into a text file for printing.
    The first one will probably give you what you want.

  • Why are my clip marker comments disappearing?

    I'm coming from Final Cut Pro, so part of my problem might be my workflow, but: Why are my clip marker comments disappearing? I log a lot of interviews and usually log the subject's responses in clip markers, but my comments are disappearing the second I select a different clip! Any reason why this might be? They stick around when I do sequence comments, but they disappear when I add comments to my clip markers when viewing in the source window. Thanks!

    Jim, that's encouraging to hear. Unfortunately, I'm trying to run it on a mac (Lion). Are you finding that most complaints are coming from people running it on macs?
    Believe me, I want to get behing Adobe, but I've restarted more than one project in Avid after finding Premiere super glitchy and inconsistent in it's behaviour.

  • In setting up my ICal calendar I have specific times (as new events) that I want to be included in the print out.  This doesn't happen.

    In setting up my ICAL calendar I have specific times (as new events) for each day.  When it prints out the time does not show up (rather its a bar).  I would like the time for each appointment to print out. How do I do this?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    I am finding the ability to download previous purchases now shown on my iCloud account to be difficult.  Music appears fine and most movies are OK but I have problems with all music videos included with album purchases.  Any ideas?

    Firstly, I purchased my first iPhone a few years ago, since then there have been a lot of apps released, a lot which I downloaded for free, tried and deleted from both my phone and my iTune 'Apps' Panel. What bothers me is when I do get a new iOS device, iPad and/or iPhone 5, and I don't want to just copy the back-up of my current iOS device to the new one, then to get the apps I want I will have to scroll through countless useless 'trash' applications in my purchase history to 'cloud download' the ones I want.
    Just sync the apps you want from your computer. You don't need to redownload them directly on the iPhone Purchased list.
    Will Apple be employing such a feature, a 'permanently delete/un-purchase' feature?
    Dunno.

    hi there,
    could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Things like your printer model and your operating system help out a lot.

  • ICal calendar data disappeared taking with it Entourage calendar and Mobile

    I installed Snow Leopard on Friday on two Macs which are both registered on Mobile Me. My iPhone is also synched via Mobile Me. Just looking at my calendar in Entourage today(Monday) the events started disappearing. I opened iCal and the calendars were blank. I then went to Mobile Me and the calendar was there for about thirty seconds before it disappeared. Lastly, I booted my MacBook and the iCal calendars were empty as well as my iPhone. I tried to drag Calendar cache to the desktop and restarted iCal, but still empty. I have no archive calendar. The address book is fine and intact. First question - what happened? and Secondly, is there an archive available on Mobile Me that I can retrieve? Is this Snow Leopard related? I live by that calendar, so I need to get it back. Any suggestions?

    Hi Darryl
    I'm presuming you don't have Time Machine turned on, so you can't go back to find your previous calendar. If you don't, sadly I can't think of a way of retrieving it.
    If you still have your address book my advice is to back that up straight away. (File, Export, Address Book Archive).
    This is something that's happened to me before (prior to Snow Leopard). Mine began when I started getting double events in Entourage, when I decided in desperation after playing around with various options to delete the Entourage calendar in iCal, I did something to completely confuse the two systems and I could not get Entourage to re-recognise iCal. I read somewhere other threads that what I had to do was to turn off the synchronisation between Exchange and iCal for several cycles (several days) then reset it to sync again and be patient. I eventually got it back but remain paranoid and regularly take a back up of iCal (File, Export, iCal Archive). I haven't found a way to completely avoid the synching problems that happen from time to time like double events and not always synching. So I just back up regularly, take screenshots of calendars as well, and regularly check, turn synchronisation on and off while making decisions to override either Entourage or iCal when I turn it back on, and occasionally manually correct info. For me the problem is definitely tied up with the link to Entourage - if I turn of that synchronisation with iCal, then MobileMe works flawlessly. But i need the Entourage exchange calendar to be synchronised for work, so have to live with the flaws.

  • HT4901 my ical calendar has disappeared when trying to sync with iCloud- help!

    Our entire ical calendar has mysteriously disappeared from both my laptop (macbook air), ipad and icloud.  I need it back on my laptop.  Can someone help?

  • Why are my iCal events not the same across views?

    Help!  I've been editing my iCal in Month view and everything looks great... but then I look at the day view (or week, whatever) and it's not the same.  For example, in Month view for July 2 - I have one event scheduled from 8:30-noon.  Then I look at the day view... and there are 8 different events!  Most of them duplicates of different things that I had at one time or another deleted or changed.  Why didn't the "clean up" work that I did in the month view carry over to day or week view?  In fact the opposite, there are more things in day or week views than I ever created.
    Recently upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard.  Recently changed from mobileme to iCloud.  I only have iCal set to my iCloud account (no "on my mac" iCal calendar data). So the problem I see when editing on my MacBookPro is also seen when logged into iCloud directly via Safari and on my iPhone, iPad, etc.  At first I thought this was an iCloud syncing error because I only noticed the difference on my phone (list view)... but when I went back to my MacBookPro I realized the problem exists there too... so doesn't seem to be a syncing error, but rather a "view" error... then the "problem" is mirrored everywhere.
    I've tried "refresh" and "refresh all" from the Calendar drop down menu.  This does nothing to help the problem... not that I really expected it would.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.  I'm going crazy!
    Mac OS X 10.7.4; iCal 5.0.3

    Fixed my own problem.  Ultamately a user error but tied to the many threads about the month view defaulting events to "all day" vs. hourly increment.  I knew that was the case, so when editing events from month view I made sure to add/change the time, but negected to look at "To" date.  If my event was for an hour, simply adding the hour pushed the day to span across dates so the event was really 25 hours.  Looked OK in the month view (just showed as a dot) but the day and week were all filled and casued the event to appear twice on the second day in list view (iPhone).  In the case of repeat events, sometimes "To" date ended up as the end date for the repeat cycle... which really messed every thing up... I believe causing what looked like duplicates, etc.

  • HT2969 Why does my iCal dates not synchronise with Blackberry?

    Please help; I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 and I downloaded on my MacBook Pro the Mac Version of Blackberry Desktop manager to be able to synch with my iCal events on my Macbook Pro.  The synch works however every All-Day event is being put into my Blackberry calendar a day later than it is meant to be. I tested an Entourage event; imported it into iCal and then synchronised and then it was on the right day.  The problem is I need to use iCal as my primary point of event entry because I use it with my iPad.
    Has anyone experienced this and found a way around it?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Why after IOS6 Ipad calendar not syncing with Icloud?

    After I upgrade Iphone and Ipad to IOS6, my Ipad calendar doesn't sync with ICloud using exactly same Apple ID. Any sugestions?

    1. Fire up your Mac and connect the iPad.
    2. Open iTunes and confirm that you are NOT syncing via the cable. Change settings as appropriate. When finished, disconnect the iPad and power it down.
    3. Open iCal on the Mac and confirm that the events are correct. Add/delete events as appropriate. Quit from iCal.
    4. Open System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync
    5. Click on "Advanced" and then click on your Mac when it shows up.
    6. Click on "Reset Sync Data"
    7. At the top, Replace: Calendars
    8. Click the right-pointing arrow so that the complete text states: "Replace Calendars on MobileMe with sync info from this computer."
    9. Click "Replace"
    10. You've confirmed that your Mac and MobileMe are set up properly. Now the iPad. Fire up the iPad and go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    11. REMOVE Calendar syncing from the account that's identified by your email address.
    12. Follow the instructions below.

  • A possible fix for iCal calendars not syncing with "iDevices"

    Hi everyone,
    I had this problem in the past with my iPod and suddenly the same is happening to my iPhone: Calendars are no longer syncing to my "iDevices". This started with 10.5 for me, but ymmv.
    There are lots of  Discussions suggesting to export all calendars, delete and then re-import. Resetting the Sync History in iSync's Preferences is mentioned all the time.
    I tried all that, but it never worked for me. Sometimes the calendars list in iTunes just went empty and other times it didn't show all my calendars or only very old, long deleted ones. Since the behaviour is the same with my iPod and my iPhone I could at least rule out a problem there.
    But today I finally discovered the culprit:
    I am sharing my calendars via icalx.com and it turns out that sometimes iCal simply "forgets" the URL I have set there and reverted back to .Mac which I don't use. Reverting all the URLs to the correct values solved the problem immediately. All calendars do sync perfectly again now!
    So if you're having the same problems it might be a good idea to check the URLs of all those shared (and subscribed?) calendars in iCal...
    Have fun!

    PS: It may have nothing to do with it, but I also deleted the Birthday Calendar during the process and re-added it via iCal's Preferences.

  • Sgned up for iCloud 3 days ago.  Why is "upgrading iCal Calendar" still running?

    Systems: OS 10.7.5 running on iMac 20 (2006); OS 10.7.5 running on MacBook Pro (2008);  OS 7.0.4 on iPad (2013)
    Signed up for iCloud on Tuesday (1/28). On Wednesday, implemented Calendar update.  MacBook and iPad updated smoothly. iMac is still running upgrade.  Progres bar says, "Upgrading iCal calendars...".  Can't open anything in calendar, but alerts for appointments are running.  I can force quit iCal, but it goes back to Upgrading when I reopen it.  Is this normal behavior?

    Like all of you, I am experiencing a problem with the iCloud calendar.  I deleted a contact from my contacts on my iPhone 4, but their birthday still remains on the iCloud calendar.
    Their details were removed from my contacts on my iPhone 4 and on my Macbook Pro.  Their birthday was successfully removed from iCal on my Macbook Pro and from the calendar on my iPhone 4, but their birthday still remailns on the iCloud calendar.
    I tried deleting it from the iCloud calendar, but it always says "READ-ONLY CALENDAR - You cannot make changes to this calendar because it's read-only".  This is because the calendar is a subscription to the birthdays of your contacts.  I have done everything I know of to fix this, but alas, nothing worked.  This is really frustrating.  I think it must be a glitch with the way iCloud syncs because the contacts list on iCloud, my iPhone 4 and my Macbook Pro have all synced correctly to reflect the deletion of the contact and the sync has just left behind a small piece of information on the iCloud calendar.  Information I want gone.
    Has anyone had any contact with Apple over this?  I hope that as more people experience this problem, Apple sorts it out ASAP.
