Another Mac question, re Time capsule.

Posted by: BigH47 on 02 December 2010

OK the latest in a long line of "why did I do that?" , seemed like a good idea at the time. I rediscovered the USB lead for my Nokia phone, and thought I'd up date the calendar.

End result is the iMac calendar is now a copy of phone one not the other way round despite setting it so.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

No problem I thought, I'll use Time capsule, all I seem to be able to do is copy the existing now wrong calendar with a different name. I did do a copy both and ended up with a load of files I can't do anything with.

I'm beginning to think Macs are sometimes as much of a PITA as PCs.

To restore your previous events you need to copy over from your backup the entire Calendars folder from Home/Library/Preferences/Calendars to Home/Library/Preferences and the prefs fle at Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist

I don't like iCal very much - not one of Apple's better applications

Bring back Hypercard.

=========
To back up or restore a calendar, do one of the following:

To make a backup copy of all your iCal calendars (including events and to-do items), choose File > “Back up iCal.” Then name the backup file and choose where you want to keep it on your hard disk.

To restore the information you had in iCal at the time of your last backup, choose File > “Restore iCal.” When you restore the backup version, any changes you’ve made since the last backup are lost
