iCal is gone

[troutswayze]

I believe my kiddos got a little happy with the delete button and, while I'm not entirely sure how they did it, my iCal is utterly, completely gone. I am running Mac OS X version 10.4.11

Help appreciated!

So it is not in the Applications folder anymore?
If you have the OS install disc, you can restore iCal using that.

While it's great that you provided your OS version, the description of the problem is, well, a bit too concise. You need to give enough of a description that tells those willing to help exactly what you know about the situation. On this site, posts run the gamut from "I haven't got a clue" to "I know what I'm doing". You haven't supplied enough insight to place you anywhere on that spectrum.

So, where is iCal missing from that you found it before? The above question is a good start, but it might not be the end of the journey.

Also, if iCal is not in your Applications folder use Spotlight to search for iCal. It is possible the youngsters may have accidentally moved the program to a different folder.

BTW As a means of preventing future problems have you considered setting up a separate account for the kids with appropriate parental controls/restrictions on deleting. Let the Mac boot directly into that account. When you need access to your account simply log into your account.
