Yapernico Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Dear fellow Alfred users, I'm an Alfred user for some time now and love it. Recently after I updated to 2.0 I searched for the Calendar app with Alfred but couldn't find it! So I thought: hmmm strange lest start testing! So -My search scope is good (can find every other app in the applications folder) -Reinstalled Alfred -Spotlight finds it -Rebuild my database -Cleared application cache -Running Mountian Lion -Have a spotlight comment for calendar (iCal) I thought maybe this gives a conflict but it doesn't because I deleted it and added some to other files and it doesn't work for calendar but doesn't I've any problems with other files! Any suggestions? Edited March 25, 2013 by Yappernico Link to comment

Any suggestions? Could you open Terminal.app and paste: mdls /Applications/Calendar.app and paste the results in. This should let me see what's up Link to comment

Andrew may spot something but I don't notice anything right off. I would suggest clearing app cache once more and then going to System Prefs->Spotlight and adding the Applications folder to the Spotlight privacy tab, wait a moment, and then remove it. This will force OSX to reindex the Applications folder. This typically resolves any kind of issue like this. Link to comment
Yapernico Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Didn't fix it, Well I have exams next week and after those I will format my mac so It will probably be finished after that. Well thanks anyway you've made a great app! Keep up the good work Link to comment
PhilosopherDog Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I had the same issue. Try the suggested fix. If that doesn't work try the following: open Alfred. type /Applications , use the arrow key to drop into the applications list. Now type calendar and open it. Next time you type calendar it should load without manually finding it. Worked for me. Link to comment
PhilosopherDog Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I should add that this was a general problem I was having since the update. I solved it by hitting reset here http://monosnap.com/image/KGcrkUyDx1Jl5k5UomNyuLiFpYHJh4 Link to comment
daniaow Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Hi, I have the same issues and I'm unable to open calendar and calculator but I can open safari. I've tried reseting it with this I should add that this was a general problem I was having since the update. I solved it by hitting reset here http://monosnap.com/image/KGcrkUyDx1Jl5k5UomNyuLiFpYHJh4 and System Prefs->Spotlight and adding the Applications folder to the Spotlight privacy tab, wait a moment, and then remove it. This will force OSX to reindex the Applications folder. This typically resolves any kind of issue like this. and clicking on the rebuild index under advanced tab but I still can't open calendar. I really love this app so I hope this can be fixed. Link to comment
Robsa Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Hi there I have tried all these too, I'm running Catalina (10.15.6) nothing works at all and Alfred still won't show any Apple apps but will show all others. Any helpful suggestions anyone? Thanks! Link to comment
Andrew Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 @Robsa Are you using Alfred 4 directly from our website? Link to comment
Antony Andrea Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Seems like some apps where quite locked by macos, couldn't even do a `sudo ln -s test /Applications/Calendar.app`. Solved it by: - Drag Calendar.app a new folder (it will create an alias (see tiny arrow in corner of app icon), the actual app will remain) - In alfred preferences, under features -> default results, drag the folder to "Search scope" - Higher up, in the "extras" section, hit "Advanced...", and drag the alias into the window Alfred will now find the Calendar.app alias when searching for "cal" (etc), which in turn will open the actual calendar app. Link to comment
