Calendar corrupted. Need to restore from Time Machine
I've lost my calendars on my OS X box, and the loss was synced up to iCloud. Boo. Hiss.
But I do have a good backup on Time Machine from yesterday. I've researched it on the web and tried the various things suggested, and none of them worked. Looking for a rescue...
Here's what I've tried so far:
- I got the ~/Library/Calendars from yesterday out of my Time Machine and have them in a safe place.
- I disconnected my network (to not allow iCloud sync), deleted ~/Lirary/Calendars, and killed any process still accessing the calendars and emptied my trash.
- I disabled the Calendar option in iCloud prefs
- I rebooted and then copied my safe copy from TimeMachine into ~/Library
- I rebooted again (why not) and ran the Calendar app
- All I see at this point is a work and personal calendar, local. Both empty.
- Hoping against hope, I reconnect the network and enable iCloud, but all I see is the corrupted calendar.
It seems like the restored ~/Library/Calendar files may contain the local copies of the iCloud versions of the calendar but when I restore tat directory Calendar doesn't see them until I re-enable iCloud at which point the stuff in the cloud has precedence.
I also tried this. I have another computer running Yosemite, which was not connected to the internet when the problem happened. So I used the Calendar/Export command presumably to be used to import later. I moved that file to the first corrupted computer and tried importing that file into Calendar. That also didn't work.
HELP! Anyone have experience with this problem?
