A month of events disappeared from my calendar

every morning I open up calendar on my iphone....hit 'edit' on the first event/appointment....'select all' on the name line and then copy (I paste this into a text message to an employee as this is a way I use to transfer appt information for service calls).....but a few weeks ago (sept 10 to be exact) while doing this the calendar went blank....I hit home button and opened up calendar....the individual calendar for my appointments was gone as were about 7 others...
I opened up my iPad and Airbook....same thing...so I knew this was an iCloud issue....the calendar wasn't there either
I contacted Apple....they 'restored' the calendar later that night...but August and September entries were still gone....I have been waiting for 12 days for Apple to tell me what happened.
My contact list of 1200 customer names was completely destroyed and unuseable by MobileMe.....why did I think iCloud would be any different...how does the world's richest company expose it's customers to a product/service that can make valuable information disappear into thin air...

If you sync to a computer, hook your iPad up and open iTunes.
Then navigate to the info tab and scroll down. You'll see a little box under the calendar stating how far back you want your calendar data sync'd. You can choose how many days - up to 999 i believe.
The iPad will then keep data as far back as you select.
The options are there to help you manage the 'other' part of your device. More history you keep, more space you'll use up.

  • Events disappeared from my calendar and I need to know how to get them back. Please help!

    When I merged my calendar to iCloud all of my events that weren't repeated disappears and all the other events messed up. Is there a way to fix this, preferably not using itunes on the computer. Thank you!

    Synced photos can't be deleted directly on the device - instead they are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.

  • Events disappearing from Outlook Calendar when synced with iPhone 4

    Hi,
    I have just switched from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S. I have the same iTunes and Apple ID on both the iPhones (the other one is used by my wife) but I created different iCloud ID for both the iPhones. When I synced the new iPhone 4S with my laptop, I found that my calender events on my laptop dissappeared.
    This never happened with iPhone 4. Can you please help to find out the reason?
    Thanks

    When you created a new Apple ID and logged the phones in you disconnected them from the account where your calendars etc are, use your original ID.

  • Events disappear from the calendar after a few seconds

    No synching, cloud, or anything, simply want to enter events and have them stay on the calendar! This is ridiculous.

    I had success with this method:
    1) make a backup of iCal's database (-> file menu)
    2) revert to that same backup ( " " )

  • My contacts and calendar events disappeared from my iPad! How can I retrieve them??

    My contacts and calendar events disappeared from my iPad. Can they be retrieved?

    BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
    BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
    Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
    For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
    Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

  • Yesterday, many of my calendar events disappeared from my iPhone and my computer

    Yesterday, several of my calendar events disappeared from both my Iphone and my computer.  Any suggestions on how to get them back?

    Is the setting for iCloud contacts turned on?

  • After iPhoto quit unexpectedly, the last 5 months of photos disappeared from my library. Please help!

    After iPhoto quit unexpectedly, the last 5 months of photos disappeared from my library. Please help! I can't find them anywhere.

    You're using iPhoto 6?
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Appointments have suddenly started disappearing from my Calendar

    Appointments have suddenly started disappearing from my calendar - some before my very eyes and some minutes/hours later.  Think it might be the ones bluetoothed to iphone by apple wireless keyboard.  Any explanation/suggestions please?!

    Ha!  Solved my own problem.  Appointments bluetoothed into phone when phone is using WiFi disappear, whereas appointments bluetoothed when phone using 3G do not! Maybe everyone knows this but I would like to know why (if there is anyone out there) please .....

  • HT4901 Appointments disappear from my calendar.. not sure how or why?!  Very Frustrating!!

    What would make appointments disappear from the calendar?

    The same thing is happening to me.  I am sitting here and I put a "test" appt in my Iphone...great it showed up on my tablet and desktop.  I did the same thing from my tablet and then my phone.  Great they all shared then all of a sudden within 3 minutes they all start disappearing.  Even from the calendar on icloud.com.  Where are they going.  I just paid for more space but if this is what is going to keep happening I'll be writing to get my money back real quick.

  • Exchange Calendar Events Disappearing from iPhone after Editing

    iPhone 6 running iOS8.
    Exchange calendar events are disappearing from iPhone right after I edit them from my phone. But they are still visible on my MacBook in Outlook.
    It used to happen very rarely but lately it has been happening very frequently. Haven't been able to find a pattern and re-create it.
    Tried searching online for this issue. Found quite a few threads about calendar sync issues, including the GMT bug but haven't been able to find this exact issue that I have been facing.
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

    I have the same problem and it has nothing to do with filing or moving emails,  for instance just before I logged in here to find a solution for the problem, I had just received and email on my iPad.  I was reading it then clicked on a link.  When I finished reading the link In Safari  and went back to the email, it was gone.   I have replied to an email then come back to it and it was gone.  This had nothing to do with viewing the email on a ore device.  This is a real problem I have asked about before and no one seems to know the answer.

  • Blue dot home events disappeared from my iPhone 4S calendar.

    Blue dot home events were gone this morning from my iPhone 4S calendar. Any idea on how I can get them back?  I've tried restarting. I thought they were backed up to iCloud b/c "iCloud Backup" is "on" on my phone but there are no current home events on my iCloud calendar ...  The first time I remember looking at my calendar this morning, they were gone - they were there last night.  I tried to install the latest iTunes version this morning, and it didn't work so I canceled the install, but my iPhone wasn't connected to the computer at that time ... otherwise everything has been status quo ... any ideas much appreciated! thx!

    You can subscribe to iTunes Match, which will make all of your ripped music available via iCloud. See: iCloud: iTunes Match

  • Appointments disappear from my calendar

    Recently I have found that some appointments (but not all) that I've put in my iPhone 4s calendar as recently as two weeks ago have disappeared.  I have an iPad, they had disappeared from that as well and weren't on iCloud.  When I went to my iCloud account and re- entered them there they reappeared in the iPhone and iPad, so I know that they are both syncing with iCloud.  But why did they disappear in the first place, why did other appointments not disappear, and how can I prevent this happening again?

    I had the same problem, and tried setting the Calenders "sync"to All events", it seems to work.
    Ipad/Iphone > Settings > Mail,Contacts,Calenders > Scroll down to CALENDARS > Sync > ALL EVENTS

  • Outlook appointments disappear from iphone calendar

    I have a reoccurring problem with appointments that are set in Outlook that will appear immediately on my iPhone calendar, but when I check back later sometimes the event has been deleted from my iPhone calendar but not from my Outlook calendar.  It's driving me mad.  Some of the times it does this is when I send an invite through outlook for an event to another user.  The event will appear on my iPhone calendar but once the other person accepts my event invitation it will disappear from my iPhone calendar, but remain on my Outlook calendar.  It doesn't do this everytime, but seems to be when I notice this happening the most. 
    On my phone settings I have the outlook calendar set as my default calendar.  My iPhone is also synched with two gmail accounts a Hotmail and an icloud account.  The only calendars I actually use however are my Outlook and the the iPhone calendar.
    Any ideas?

    One of the things I always suggest our users do in a situation like this is check the cache file on the Outlook desktop client.  It has an *.ost extension.  I've found it can get out of date and affect the calendar on mobile devices.  You can turn off caching in Outlook, then delete the cache file, then turn caching on and let it be rebuilt.  Microsoft also has a number of calendaring "best practices" its important to implement.

    We've struggled with issues like this for a while.  The steps above are good for a starting point.  In addition, you want to minimize the number of delegates, the number of instances of clients running against the Exchange mailbox, and accept all appointment notifications.  If any one notification is deleted, Outlook, in the past, anyway, has deleted the appt. from the calendar even if all other recipients accepted their notification.  Hopefully you receive the notification on your device and accept it.
