[QUOTE="indigit4l, post: 1652899, member: 137776"] Hi there. This is my first post here, and I could really use some help. So I reloaded Yosemite for a customer and while I always do a very careful and thorough job of backing up data, I didn't back up her calendar. I guess in this day and age I assume people are syncing it with Apple or Google. It's probably a little more difficult to not sync it somehow, as it's the default way of setting up you Mac or iPhone. Anyways! Needless to say she is really upset (and so am I, because this is a first) so I bought a data recovery program that can recover data from a formatted drive. I ran it and found her Library/Calendar folder. Inside there are three sub-folders and each one is named like "9EE3DDG46436DF" nonsense. Inside each of those are (If I recall correctly) a lot of .ics files and/or other files with Calendar icons. When I either open one or import one, I believe it adds just a single event to the calendar, or it will say the file isn't fit to be imported. So between the 3 folders, if I can import all of those I am able to, I might have... 30 items in total added. I tried dropping those folders in the new Calendar directory and nothing seemed to happen. Any advice? I work with PST files all of the time but I don't have a full understanding of the way they do it in OSX, because in the past I would just export it to a single file and import it back in. This Calendar has an Events folder and more. Any help would be awesome. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
