Q: iCal 'Show Holidays calendar' not showing holidays in Australia after upgrading to Yosemite.

Hello, I had been in Italy before moving to Australia and I had set Show Holidays calendar in iCal to display Italian holidays. When I've moved to Australia, I've changed the regional settings to Australia and therefore iCal was showing Australian holidays. After I've upgraded to Yosemite, I can't see any holidays anymore. I tried to uptick 'Show Holidays calendar' and reboot Yosemite, then tick it back and it is still not working for Australia. if I change my regional settings for instance for Italy, it works. It just refuses to display Australian Holidays so for now I'm forced to use Google calendar subscription for public holidays.

How can I restore the iCal 'Show Holidays calendar' ?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), Crucial 8GB DDR3, Samsung 830 128GB

    Didn't help me for Australian Holidays. Actually, region language and computer language are not related in any way. If I set my system language to English Australian and set my regional settings to Italy, it starts displaying italian holidays despite the system language is different.

    Anyone got a fix for this? Running 10.10.5 and now iOS9 came out Holidays is again default in iOS and I want it to match in OS X.

     

    I cant for the life of me get UK Hols to show in iCal. I've tried everything including swopping all the langugaes and regions around

    Still not fixed. I have to have my system on English - UK or US, I don't care. But my location is in the Netherlands, hence I'm really not interested in Thanksgiving, rather in Sinterklaas with respect to holidays. If I set the region to Netherlands and the language to English, I really don't get the holidays in the calendar. I will now activate this option via the Gmail agenda.

     

    Hope this is solved in the next Max OS X. It's no big issue - just quirky.

    Oh my gosh this fixed the problem. Here is the very scary part.  I have been trying to resolve this issue with Apple support over the phone and in the store genius bar since September 2015.  Out of all the "Apple Experts" I have spoken to none of them know this!!!!  They even wiped by drive and I had to reinstall.  All I can say is THANK YOU!  I have googled the problem before but did not come up to your advice until this morning.  Not happy with Apple team on the phone or in the store because their answer to everything is wipe and start over - they said the same thing for my Iphone 5s when the email was not deleting from my Inbox - they said it probably was my private domain email issue - once again it was an incorrect check box in the general settings.

    Thanks Gr Garcia. I actually spent 90 min with a senior level tech support guy a year ago, and it was not till today after seeing your post to check all day events I fixed this.

     

    How do these people get hired?? He did tons of tedious troubleshooting and it was just that one check....
