From listres at bellsouth.net Thu Apr 20 06:57:38 2006 From: listres at bellsouth.net (Bob Salsburg) Date: Thu Apr 20 06:58:03 2006 Subject: [X-SW] Wonky iCal Message-ID: <6DC90985-3ADB-41EF-A4A7-62C806268BDD@bellsouth.net> iCal and I have been round a few times in the last two several weeks. iCal is winning. Grrrrr!!! Previously, I had used one of Zapptek's apps to set another client to handle ical invitations. In order to change back to Mail as default, iCal must be reinstalled. I did that and reapplied the combo updater (Tiger). I backed up the calendars using the command in iCal. The next day, iCal wouldn't start. I pulled everything methodically. Turned out to be something in the cache. Upon restarting there were the default Home and Work calendars. I restored the back up. Now the Calendar list displays nothing. I can see items for the various calendars by displaying search results and the calendars appear on the Calendar list in an item info disply, so I know the restore worked. Two other weird behaviors: If I click the Day button, the main iCal window resizes to about 50%. And, when I start Mail, iCal starts too. Any thoughts on returning proper behavior?

Does not simply setting the default email app via Apple's own pref setting do this same thing? > In order to change back to Mail as default, iCal must be reinstalled. Oh again.

I don't follow what you're saying.

Drag it to the size you want, close it and then reopen > And, when I start Mail, iCal starts too. Oh? Definitely not normal behavior, I'm guessing that the after market 'adjustment tool' that you used has messed things up. > > Any thoughts on returning proper behavior? Worst case, Archive and Install. Before that I would try hunting down every vestige of this after market bit of nastiness that you installed and get rid of it. > > Bob > _______________________________________________ > X-Apps mailing list > X-Apps@listserver.themacintoshguy.com > http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/x-apps > > Listmom is trying to clean out his closets!
