Why does iCal sporadically deleted whole sections of my calendar? It's rather annoying...

So I have been using iCal on my iPad all year. Had many valuable dates past and future in my calendar, which is what a calendar is for. Suddenly huge chunks of this data disappear completely. Gone. Not the best function for a calendar. I'm pretty ****** off...
Is there any way find this stuff again?

HT2966 Why does ical delete information on calendar after eight months? Why isn't data retained on calendar? (Apart from actually saving or backing up ical?)

Why does ical automatically delete information on calendar after eight months or so? Why doesn't data which has been inserted on calendar remain on the relevant dated calendar? (Apart from actually saving or backing up calendar).

How are your settings in iCal preferences set?
iCal-->Preferences-->Advanced-->Delete events __ days after they have passed.

Why does ical rearrange my events when i print?! 10.9

why does ical rearrange my events when i print?!
I'm on a macbook pro running the latest version of 10.9
Everything is organized the way I like it, but once I go to print, it rearranges the order of my events!
How do I fix this?
Thanks!

I had the same problem a few weeks ago and called apple support. The solution is as follows:
Most apple users have multiple devices using icloud such as an iPdad, iPhone, and other computers. In my case, I had two computers, two iPads, and one iPhone. After speaking to apple support, I realized that one of my ipad's setting were set to delete events older then 2 weeks. In short, if you are expeirienceing problems with ical deleteing events, you better check all your devices. If just one of them is set wrong in your preferences, you will lose past events. Even check computers you gave to your cildren or other members of the family. You will probably find out that the settings on one of these machines is causing your problems.

Why does ical print out starting tuesday?

Why does ical print out staring the week on tuesday?
Maybe the week starts one day later for the Yosemite dev team, but certainly not in my neck of the woods.
The actual print out also looks nothing like the new matt and 'flat' graphic style of Yosemite.
I suggest you start on monday next week and sort these issues out.
Sunny

For many people that is the correct option. If you think it should be different, tell Apple, as they aren't listening here.

Why does ical on icloud have a different lay out than on my mac

Why does iCal on my MacBook Pro have a different lay out than on iCloud? I like the iCloud layout better, the only missing niceties is the year calendar. How do I get both iCals to look the same? The ideal iCal? The one from iCloud WITH the year calendar.

Why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??

why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??
for example, when i am attempting to make a 'all-day' appointment on october 2nd 2011, it automatically shifts it to october 1st.
but if i am doing a timed appointment for only a few hours, it will allow me to put it on that day.
i am trying to put in travel dates so any help on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

alsdman,
Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the appropriate "Region."

When I change size of icons or icon vs list display, why does it affect the whole computer?

When I change size of icons, or icon vs list display, why does it affect the whole computer? In some folders I want to see a list and others I want to see an icon and I don't need a large icon in all folders. I used to be able to set each folder separately in the old OS. How do I fix this?

I can hilight an item, go to the finder/file/getinfo but there is no box next to icon view.
I can go to view/options and adjust the icon size etc, but this applies to every folder in the whole computer. I need varied options in different folders, i.e., I want to view images as icons and text as text. I have to change it every time I open a folder. I used to be able to set it per folder in the old OS.

Why does iCal keep telling me calendar can't be found?

Why does iCal keep telling me calendar can't be found? I have my ical calendar synced with my android 2.3.6. They appear to be communicating and then the next time I check they aren't. I just randomly keep getting the error. I would like to sync my Google calendar, iCal and Android 2.3.6 calendar. Thanks for any suggestions!

It is kind of hard to reconstruct what you did exactly and it may be that things have gotten pretty messed up -- it's easy to do that with OSX. For starters, try running Disk Utility. First, verify your hard drive with the repair feature (there are probably four buttons that do 4 different things). If verify checks out okay, repair permissions. Depending upon which ones are messed it it may cure some of them but not all.

HT204150 Why does iCal show incorrect age when displaying birthdays derived from Addressbook

Why does iCal display incorrect ages derived from AddressBook entered birthdays?

Hi PeterWCM, for what it's worth, the Apple help desk in Oz reckons we've uncovered a tech glitch in the software and that they replicated the described faults! But it only happens between specific dates (sometime in early Nov 1974, and runs through to today!)i.e; dates before Nov '74 aren't affected and some dates since!
We "trouble shooted" by inserting (made-up) dates in Addressbook and then watching when iCal updated. By a process of trila and error we nailed down the start of the problem to 2nd Nov '74!
Anyhow, they seemed to think there would be a "patch" issued in Jan...?
It MAY still be linked to timezone probs...not really sure!
Please let me know if you find a solution?
Cheers!

Why can't I delete certain events in my calendar?

Why can't I delete certain events in my calendar?

- First, go to Settings>iCloud and make sure the Contacts is turned on
- Next go to Settings>General:Restrictions and make sure that no Restrictions are set.
Last, the standard fixes:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Does iCal has alert feature like in Mac Calendar?

Does iCal has alert feature like in Mac Calendar?
In the Mac Calendar, you can set a alarm for an event to send an e-mail at 15 minutes before event. Is it possible to do same in iPad iCal?

I know it will pop up an alert message, but is it possible to get it to send out an e-mail message instead? If it is possible, could you tell me how to do it in the iPad? I seem to be only able to make it pop out a message but not able to make it sends out an e-mail. Thanks.

Why does iCal always open when a reminder pops up?

This one has been driving me bonkers.
I have alerts/reminders set for nearly all of the events/appointments, etc that I put in iCal, and I use iCloud to keep my calendar synchronized between two computers and my iPhone. It all works *nearly* flawlessly.
What makes me crazy is that every time an alert pops up to remind me about something in my calendar, iCal opens on my two computers. I don't need iCal to open.
Why does it do this? And is there a way to tell it to stop?

If you had camcorder files at the top level of any drive, they would look something like this in the Finder.
If you had a Disk Image or a SDHC card or a Camera mounted, you would see it in the Finder along the bottom left side under Devices. In my photo, Gail Graduation is a Disk Image, not one of my normal disk drives. I can click the triangle symbol to the right to dismount it.

Cut/Copy/Delete w right-click in Thumbnail drawer deletes whole section?

I have a long document with several separate sections. I am trying to cut/copy/delete individual pages by right-clicking in the thumbnail drawer, but it seems to want to delete the entire section rather than individual pages. How do you do this please.

Christopher
That is standard Pages behavior. It selects whole sections in the thumbnails.
If you want to delete individual pages you will need to split the sections by inserting section breaks at the foot of the pages or simply select the content of the pages and delete that.
Make sure you get rid of any floating textboxes, shapes or images on the pages first if you use the 2nd method.

HT1277 when i delete emails from apple mail why does it not delete them from the account??

Why doesn't it delete them from both??

Keeping mail in sync is a function of what type of mail account you have. Sounds like you have an IMAP or Exchange account, & that's the way things are designed to work. Why don't you just create another folder on the server & move these emails to that folder. That way, they'll be out of your inbox, but still available on your laptop.

Why does iCal change the time of my events when I import my schedule? PLEASE HELP

When importing my schedule (from my school website, week by week), I had no problem in September. Now, something must be screwed up in my iCal, because the same documents are importing 3-4 hours behind my current time zone (Atlantic). Atlantic time is specified in the files, so it isn't that. This happens in the guest user as well.
I turned off time zone support (I feel as though this is what made it stop working, as the default was off and I turned it on around the time it stopped working). It still doesnt work even with time zone turned off and the time on my computer is set manually (instead of automatically detecting it). Also, I tried to find the preference file in my library>preferences, but it didn't exact... not one single com.apple.ical plist file in there!!! It seems to work fine from my iphone EXCEPT it creates 2 events for each single event (at the same time) which is rather annoying.
Anyone know/have any ideas on how to fix this??

Yeah that was it, I realised straight afterwards (I'm just impatient lol). Thanks anyway
