ICal has gone missing? Any ideas?

Asked by adreamofautumn (3983points) February 22nd, 2010

So, i’m generally very good with computers, but this is a new one for me. Last Friday I left for the weekend, left my laptop at home, everything was fine. Today I tried to open iCal only to find that it is gone. Completely missing. Not in the applications folder, doesn’t get picked up by spotlight, or a search of the hard drive. Any idea where it could have gone and how to get it back?

Not sure where it went but you can reinstall it from your applications DVD that came with the computer.

@missingbite thanks, that’s what I ended up doing. I was hoping to find another way because I couldn’t find my discs, but I borrowed someone else’s. Thanks. :)

No problem. I looked at apple.com because I had to download mail one time but iCal for some reason comes as a bundle that you have to pay for. Crazy. Out of curiosity, did you look in the trash can on the desktop to see if somehow iCal got dragged into it?

yah I checked, I really cannot figure it out. It just disappeared. When I reinstalled it had all my info, settings, etc. I have no idea where it went to in the meantime. Odd.

It had the info because the plist in your library didn’t get “lost” but the application did. I can’t figure out where it could have gone either. Glad it worked out.
