All of my contacts and calendar information has disappeared. How do I get it back?

All of my contacts and calendar information has disappeared. This is not the first time this has happened, and when it happened in the past I just turned on my contacts in the iCloud in "settings." This didn't work this time and I was curious if anyone can help me restore the missing info. and/or tell me why they randomly disappear every now and then.

It's hard to say what would cause that but I doubt you are doing anything wrong.  They only way you could intentionally make you contacts or calendars disappear is if you either turn off iCloud syinc for contacts and calendars in Settings>iCloud or signed out of your account.
If it continues to happen, you might want to completely sign out of your account, then sign back in.  To do this, you would want to start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in.

  • I just lost my contacts and calendar entries through icloud, how do i get them back?

    I read that the space being used up on my iphone can be from having iCloud backups on. So I turned them all off and thought when it said to delete the contacts and calendar eltries it mean the back up being stored on the phone, not the actual contacts and calendar entries. Can anyone help me to restore these items?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It sounds like you are turning off syncing (settings > iCloud) rather than back ups.
    Try turning them on again.

    Where were you storing your contacts?  In the cloud?  In outlook?  Synch them back from wherever they were being stored.

    The Safari web address bar has disappeared, how do I get it back?

    Thanks Roger I can now see the name of the website and if I right click on the name it shows me the web address. I used to be able to see the web address e.g. "https//google.co.uk" in this bar without having to right click on the name, is there a way of bringing this back?

  • The "recently used programs" section on the start menu has disappeared - how do I get it back?

    On the start menu, the top few programs are those that I use frequently. There used to be a line, and underneath the line appeared the programs that I have most recently used (other than the frequently-used programs above the line). This bottom section has disappeared - how can I get it back? Running XP with Firefox 33.1.

    This is a Windows question, not a Firefox question. Try using a search like www.bing.com/search?q=restore+recently+used+programs+windows+xp for help.

    I think it's something you'll want to make sure is turned on in settings.
    This is found deep in settings < privact < locations services < system services < frequent locations. That needs to be turned on.

  • My calendar has disappeared; how do I get it back?

    This morning when I opened outlook, my calendar had disappeared.
    I am running Windows XP with Thunderbird 31.1.2 and have Lightning 3.3.1 (enabled).
    Calendar is now greyed-out under View.
    The last significant thing I did last night was to delete many messages and compact my folders.
    I have received many emails and added several calendar items since my last backup (4 days ago) and I would rather not have to go back to that.
    Why has the calendar disappeared and how can I get it back?

    Confusing? View is where you modify the view of an existing window. If you want the today pane to appear in the main email window that is where you find that option.
    Confusing is when you say you want a Thunderbird feature to appear in a Firefox window. :)
    Confusing is where your question seems to indicate that you have lost the entire Lightning calendar program and says nothing about just being able to see if in the today pane.
    Glad you got it sorted out.

  • TS4147 I deleted what I thought were duplicate contacts and now they're gone, how can I get them back?

    My address book on the mac showed duplicate contacts so I started to delete them. I deleted A-C. However, on icloud.com, they were not duplictaed and now all of my A-C contacts are gone. How can I get them back?

    I think i did the same thing. I just got a new MacBook Air and when it synced with iCloud I had doubles of all my contacts. Now I'm missing most of my contacts as well.... Someone please help with a solution to this mistake....
