OS X 10.5.5 iCal Problems
September 15, 2008 – 11:57 pm
Danger Will Robinson! After upgrading to 10.5.5 I restarted iCal to be greeted with an “Upgrading Calendars” message. This should have read “Irreparably Screwing Up Your Calendars”. Anyone who reads this knows I am a huge Apple fan but I should send Apple a bill.
Here is the story. I work as an IT consultant and I book my calendars in iCal as my services are requested. When I get a chance to catch up with the paperwork I go through the calendar and send invoices based on the time spent with each client.
Since the release of the kludge that is MobileMe, iCal has mysteriously deleted several appointments that I know of, refused to allow me to add new entries, and now has duplicated every single one of my calendars. Not that big a deal you may think. If only it were as simple as deleting the extra calendars. From what I can tell rather than syncing iCal on my computer and my iPhone, iCal has created separate calendars sharing the same name. This means that some of the entries are on one duplicate and others are on the second.
Thanks for screwing up yet again Apple. I hate you. OK maybe not but you and I are not on speaking terms.
