Where does iCal store data?

[davenet]

Hi,

I had my hard drive fail on me but I am still able to read most of it, so I need to recover my iCal database.

I actually did find it, but my 'to do' list is not there. Just my calender items.

Where does iCal store items in the 'to do' list?

~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources

^^^ user library, I believe, not system library ^^^

Yes, user library, which is why I used the ~ symbol.

OK, that is sort of what I thought. So I wonder why all my 'to-do' items are missing? Any ideas?

in the ~/Library/Application Support/iCal folder then is a file called todos-info.plist. Maybe that has your to do list

Nope.

~/Application Support/iCal no longer exists in SnowLeopard.

I wish Apple would stop dicking around with data locations. Application Support is supposed to be where app data is stored.

How did you even find this 3 year old thread? Snow Leopard wasn't out 3 years ago so that WAS where the data was stored when the thread was created.

The answer to this question (no thanks to UngratefulNinja) is ~/Library/Calendars.
