10.4.6 upgrade deleted all of my calendar data

I have managed to lose all of my calendar data, including all of my calendar on my exchange server (via entourage sync).
I didn't see the readme before I upgraded, so when I ran sync, it asked me what I wanted to do during sync. I made sure that entourage had everything current, and I chose to delete and re-create the events on my phone. That happened, but the phone ran out of juice during the sync process and powered down. iSync told me what happened, and since I didn't have the charger handy, I went on about my business.
When I synced next, iSync told me it had 620 record that needed to be overwritten, and would I like for that to happen. Assuming it meant the 620 records *on the phone*, I said yes. It then proceeded to empty entourage, my exchange server, and my phone completely. iCal kept a copy, but within a minute or two of opening it, all of that data disappeared too.
So, I suppose I'm probably out of luck, but just in case... is there any way to recover all of my calendars? No, I didn't have any backups that I know of (unless they are automatically created). This is amazingly painful, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hm, yes, you are right...
Two solutions here:
1) plug your ipod on an other mac and get your files there
2) before plugging your iPod:
a. reboot your mac (make sure you start clean)
b. remove the SyncServices folder in your Home -> Library -> Application Support
c. reboot your mac (make sure your re-start clean )
d. this will remove the iPod synchronization state so it won't synchronize when you plug it in.
2) will require you to reconfigure your sync settings for all your iPods, .Mac and Palms
Still, I think 1) would be safer.

It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.

My Instagram app on my iPhone 4s keeps crashing whenever i try to open it. I want to delete it then download it again but it said that doing so would delete all of it's data. Does that mean I'll lose all of my pictures?

I have this excact problem too, Deleting the the app and then reinstalling it won't delete your photos as they are stored on facebooks servers. You will just have to remember you username and password to sign in again. Ever since Facbook bought instagram i have had this problem on my 4S too.

I just synced my iPhone on iCloud and it deleted all of my calendar events and isn't even showing up on the iCloud website. Is there a way to get all of those events back?

I have deleted all of my calendar events on my iphone4s can I get them back

I have deleted all of my calendar events on my iphone4s. Can I get them back?

Check your calendar on icloud.com from your computer. If the events are still there, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then after a few seconds turn Calendars back to On.
If the events are not in your calendar on icloud.com, you could try restoring to your last backup. This may recover them (although it isn't clear from Apple's documentation that calendar events are included in the backup).

Thanks for nothing. I tryed to install the 8.1 Update. And it deleted all my fotos and data. thanks...

HT4901 By synching our computer and tablet together with our new iphone, we lost all our critical calendar data. How do we get it back?

By synching our computer and tablet together with our new iphone, we lost all our critical calendar data. How do we get it back? The help info, HT4901, was the closest info from the Help pages but it assumed we were already on icloud and had simply disconnected our calendar from icloud. Actually, we were simply trying to synch our devices by signing up with icloud for the first time, so it seems our calendar never had a chance to get uploaded. In any case, how do you reconnect / re-access a calendar on icloud?

If your calendar does not appear on icloud.com it never uploaded to iCloud. If it is no longer on your computer you would have to restore it from a backup source such as Time Machine to restore it.

Our exchange server crashed and we lost all contact and calendar data. We found an app to get the contacts off of people's phone to import but can't find the same for calendar. How do I get my calendar info off my phone and in to new exchange server?

You'd have to think through this, but it seems like if you are using Outlook, and the items vanished from the Outlook client as well as the server,that you could re-populate Outlook using iTunes.

Will 4.0.2 upgrade delete all my iPhone applications?

Hi there,
I'm a iPhone 3GS user and I've been wondering if upgrading the software to 4.0.2 will delete all my applications/pictures/music. Also, if you tried 4.0.2 already, do you recommend it or not? I love the fact that you can now create folders for your apps on that software, but I've also heard a lot of cons of getting it.
Thanks so much!
Best,
Hailey

All iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer - all music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps. All photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone should be on your computer as well.
Photos and videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera, so all photos and videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be on your computer as well.

IPhoto upgrade deleted all my photos - how do I restore them?

Hello, I have just upgraded my iPhoto and it appears that this has deleted all my iPhoto library. Any advice on how I can restore my old photos?? iPhoto appears to have started up as a new user and doesen't have any record of any or my photos or albumns.
Many thanks

I also lost about 4000 photos, folders all empty, after putting older iphoto library onto external hard drive and opening it with updated iphoto.
found the photos in the pictures folder (although anonymously as jpegs, have to open them to identify them) but how do i return them to iphoto? and why are the other 5000 photos still visible in iphoto?
when i open the package contents in the iphoto library on the external hard drive there is a folder called originals which has all the photos in, but iphoto seems not to be pointing to it. hard to explain what i mean but basically the photos exist, i photo library doesnt see them, the other iphoto library on the computer that came with the upgraded version is fine.

Desktop 6.0 trying to delete all my Outlook calendar entries

Since upgrading to 6.0, I've had nothing but trouble. First it was a strange error and this forum recommended that I look for East Asian characters or skipped e-mail addresses or images that were not the acceptable BB size in all of my contacts. I spent hours reviewing all my contacts one by one and that fixed nothing. I've deleted the software a ridiculous number of times, wiped the Torch several times. Finally, I figured out on my own that I had to look for a calendar entry that was causing the unknown problem. Now, after all this wasted time, all I want to do is sync my device to my Outlook calendar, but the software wants to delete all my Outlook entries. Thank goodness I was paying attention and rejected the changes. So now I can't sync again and have no where to turn to but this forum. Why can I not get any qualified technical support??? I spent enough money on this device, why can't someone help me fix the problems that BB has created. I want to throw this device out the window!

First, I deleted all my calendar entries from the BB, then I changed the calendar sync settings to one-way, Outlook to device. I ran the sync and everything moved over to the device. At that point, I completed a backup and went back in and changed the settings back to two-way.
Then, the following day, I connected the device and tried to sync again but the the software wanted to delete all or most all of my Outlook calendar entries again. So I rejected the sync and stopped.
Any thoughts?

How to delete all contacts and calendar events?

I had previously told my iPod Touch to sync my contacts, calendars, and e-mail accounts with my computer (Mac) and sync via MobileMe. Now, I'm giving away my iPod Touch and I don't want to new owners to have access to my calendar, contacts, and mail. I've gotten rid of the mail by deleting all my accounts, and in iTunes I've stopped syncing of calendars, contacts, and mail, but there's still my contacts and calendar on my iPod. Is this because of MobileMe or just because it didn't take them off the iPod? How can I stop MobileMe syncing to my iPod Touch and get rid of my contacts and calendars off my iPod without having to just go one by one and delete them?

Delete an account from iPod touch: Choose “Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account, then scroll down and tap Delete Account.
Deleting an account means you can no longer access the account with your iPod touch. All email and the contacts, calendar, and bookmark information synced with the account are removed from iPod touch. However, deleting an account doesn’t remove the account or its associated information from your computer.

Deleted icloud from my iphone and it deleted all my contacts, calendar events etc etc. i then stupidly i think synced my phone. I want to back up from computer to phone to see if I can restore contacts - can someone tell me step by step how to do this?

can anyone help me please. i stupidly deleted icloud as i thought that was what was giving me problems with phone. didnt realise it would delete all my contacts as well. i then, again stupidly I think, synced my phone backing up the phone to the computer and probably overriding the cotnacts that were on my computer? Anyway, can anyone tell me how you back up from the computer BACK TO THE PHONE to see if I can get my contacts back? Would be very grateful if you could give me the step by step idiots guide as I am really nervous around technical stuff

I cannot log out of iCloud without it threatening to delete all my photos and data.

I am logged onto iCloud and have the photos and Documents/Data options checked, but when I go to log out, it asks "Do you want to turn off iCloud photos (or iCloud Documents/Data) If you do you photos that have not been imported will be deleted from this Mac"!
What is going on?
I just want to log off!
I don't care if I never use iCloud again, but it is threatening to delete all my contents.
What is the name of all that's sane is going on?!
Julian

The iCloud Photo Library have mistakes, you only need close Safari, or your browser and enter again, and look if already you are out from iCloud. Your photos in iCloud not be affect.
