The Calendar on my laptop has holidays.

The one on my desktop has no holidays, even though "show holidays in Calandar is checked"

I tried everything, unchecking, checking that, quit relaunch, nothing would work.

So the sidebar things that have been there for ages, Entourage (four of them), I deleted. I don't use Entourage for a long time and don't know why they are there. I deleted a couple of others, I've never understood these or why they are there.

Anyway, now, everything in both Calandars is now wiped off and gone. I've googled restore mac calandar and searched and NOTHING come up that is good or intuitive for backup (unlike Firefox which you just back up it all in two seconds)

Anyone know the procedure? thanks!


And the original problem is still not fixed. My desktop (which has nothing in the Calandar anymore still does not show holidays even though show holidays in Calandar is checked, but I've got bigger problem now that everything is now gone!

You have to subscribe to calendars. The iCloud US holiday calendar is at webcal://ical.mac.com/ical/US32Holidays.ics, but I use Google's. For that, you just have to point to your Google account.

Does the webcal maker have a website? Maybe I can ask why it works on the laptop but not the desktop.

webcal is not a website. It's a protocol for connecting to content on the Internet, like http is the web and ftp is for file transfer.
