All events wiped out!

All the events and to-do's on my iCal have been deleted! There is a file in user/library/logs called iCalErrorDump-url-092008T135007 -- but I'm not able to import it into iCal. Please help! How do I restore all the events and to-do's?

Okay! I figured this one out. In case the solution will help someone else:
I opened the error dump file in Text Editor, eliminated the last (and incomplete) calendar entry, added the end tag for the calendar file (which I copied after exporting the calendar data for a new calendar I constructed and opening that in Text Editor), saved it as a file with the .ics extention. And iCal accepted this new file as an import, restoring all the data!

  • All music wiped out during sync

    I'm a brand new iPhone user and synched for the first time not knowing what I was doing. I share a computer with my daughter and when I synched it completely wiped out ALL her music. We have synched again over and over, and cannot get her music back on her iPhone. Can anyone give me guidance?

    Eyedoc, I feel your pain. The iPhone does not backup your Bento Data. From your first sentence, I take it that you used Bento for iPhone and then used the Mac Desktop ver. to sync. If thats the case, then your blank database will sync to your iphone. If your data was already on your desktop Bento then Bento would have reminded you to Backup your data. If you indeed did a backup, then that file will be where ever you chose to save it where you can then reimport. I hope this helps. Please check Bento discussions

  • All documents wiped out, left only applications installed earlier

    My problem earlier was that when i power on my macbook pro at night on 29 mar 2010, i realise that all my documents on my desktop, documents folder, pictures folder, as well as music folders were GONE!! The only thing left was those applications i installed e.g adium, iworks, microsoft office 2008 etc..
    I checked my hard disk space. There is 130 gb free space. Initially, I only had about 40 gb of free space left. I downloaded 3rd party software- StellarPheonix to recovery my data, but unfortunately, they are no where to be found.
    It's kind of a rare problem. Helpdesk personnel told me i might have deleted ALL my documents. How would it be possible to click on 1 button and all my documents on my desktop, files, videos, musics and pictures all gone.(They are located at different folders)
    The only thing they told me is that only time machine can help to retrieve make all my data.
    I was rather disappointed with my macbook pro

    I recommend you follow their suggestion. Restore from your Time Machine backup.
    1. Boot with the installation disk
    2. Accept the language window
    3. Click on Utilities/Restore from backup
    4. Select a backup from the list
    This will restore everything on your computer at the time of the backup.
    Have a nice day.

    You can boot into your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting), use Disk Utility to erase the boot drive and then elect to reinstall OS X. This will get the 'factory' setup back into place.
    I'm hoping that you had backups?

  • HELP!! all songs wiped out but still on HD

    just synced photos for the first time, got em loaded in and everything seemed fine...then i tried hooking the ipod back to the computer and said it was unable to read the ipod and it needed to be reset to factory options...
    i tried a few other things, including reset....i then updated itunes...now it recognizes the ipod but all my music is GONE!!!! the photos are still there but nothing in the music folder...HOWEVER, itunes says the ipod is half full (30GB ipod) and when i browse thru the windows folders, all of the music files are there, but they just don't show up in itunes or on the ipod menu.....PLEASE HELP as we're leaving on vacation tomorrow morning and this was going to be our saving grace to entertain the kids while in the plane!!!!!

    It would appear that the iPod hard drive or iPod software has become corrupt. This doesn't mean that the songs are not on your iPod, hence the fact that the iPod reports used space and iTunes may show them.
    You should restore the iPod and then reload the songs from iTunes.

  • All Addresses Wiped Out - Where Are They?

    My wife is a new Mac user, with a nice, new Core Duo iMac. She's been busy populating all her applications with data.
    She has not been busy backing up.
    Last night, she was adding addresses to Address Book 4.0.3 (Build 477.6). She got tired of using the "add to address book" command, so she created an empty group in Address Book and dragged a number of highlighted addresses from a Mail message to the empty folder.
    Dragging one address at a time worked.
    Dragging sixty together crashed Address Book and all other open applications. After force-quitting Address Book, all the new addresses were gone (of course)- but so were all the old ones.
    There was also an interesting,new (to me) Finder crash - the Dock animation was frozen, while the cursor was working fine.
    All of her Address Book data, Groups and Names, is gone. Is there a place to look for this data?

    Actually, after I posted to your question I found several more strings with the same general discussion. No answers, however. Look under the addressbook category

  • IOS 6 update, and data being wiped out on apps...

    I just updated my phone last night and all the photos that were in a private photo album app all got wiped out. I have been doing regular backups to iCloud, and all app data is supposed to be stored there, but I don't know how to get the data back? Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix this?

    This isn't an itunes app. I thought this was the icloud discussion group.

  • New OS 3gs wiped out contacts now only operate in Emergency Call mode

  • After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group.  When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category.

    After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group.  When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category. A message pops up that says: "You can't add events or to do items to a calendar group. Select an individual calendar in the calendar list, then create your events or to do items." Any help here would be greatly appreciated! I would like to either retrieve the old information or find a way to add the category back in to start over. Thanks in advance!

    hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music'  then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

  • Time Machine wiped out all my backups!

    This morning, Time Machine wiped out all my existing Time Machine backups and started a new, full backup of my startup drive.. My Time Machine volume was only half full, and I use TimeMachineEditor to schedule backups once a day instead of every hour. Does anyone know what might have caused this to happen?

    Not helpful. I've been using TimeMachineEditor for years without any problem whatsoever.
    It's true, though... it sounds like something went wrong with Time Machine somewhere, and that's one possibility. Having used it for years without a problem does not mean that trend will continue. There was just an update to that software one week ago, adding Mountain Lion compatibility. Something could have been wrong with the update if you installed it, and if you didn't, you were using it with Mountain Lion without it being compatible.
    As for Time Machine's default hourly backups, they can result in spinning beachballs each and every hour
    Something else may have been wrong then (instead or in addition). That's not normal.
    In any event, there's nothing to be done about the old backups now... they're gone. What I would advise is to stop using TimeMachineEditor (for the time being at least), erase your backup drive and start your backups over from scratch, and make sure that your drive is used in one of the supported configurations (ie, directly connected, connected to a Time Capsule or a shared volume on another Mac on your local network).

  • I updated my software on my ipad, and it wiped out all my calendar entries.  Is there a way to retrieve them?  My planner is my life and I am feeling totally lost!!!!!

    Please Help!!  When I updated my Ipad2 it wiped out all of my calendar entries.  Is there a way to retrieve them?  I have looked in Icloud and itunes and am not finding the calendar there, as it comes on the ipad and is not an app.

    Were you syncing calendar events over the air with your iCloud account or syncing calendar events direct with a supported calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process?
    If your planner is your life, not a good idea to depend on one device for your calendar events. They should be available on your computer as well along with the data included with your computer's backup.

  • My iPod Touch is running on ios 7. In the last two and a half months all the apps of my iPod have been wiped out twice. I had to download all the apps all over again. Why is this happening?

    My iPod Touch is running on ios 7. In the last two and a half all the apps of my iPod have been suddenly wiped out twice. I had to download all the apps all over again. Why has it happened?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have adobe elements 6 program and my disk got distorted.  i have all my serial numbers still as i have all packaging.  is there a way the program can be downloaded.  my computer had to be wiped out and was trying to reinstall

    iPods do not work with "accounts."  They work with your iTunes library.  You don't have to set up a new iTunes library for each iPod.  One iTunes library can sync with as many iPods, iPhones, and iPads as your own, at the same time.  iTunes connects to and treats each device separately.
    However, if your iPod nano is set up for automatic syncing with an iTunes library that is NOT your current iTunes library, you cannot sync your current library to it without replacing its existing content.  Do you have access to the previous iTunes library, the one the iPod currently synced to?  If so, you should transfer your song files from that iTunes library to your current iTunes library.  Then, sync our iPod to your current iTunes library.  You can post back to get more info about the procedure.
    If you don't have access to that previous iTunes library, the approach is to first offload the song files from the iPod to your computer's drive, then add the song files to your current iTunes library.
    You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    You can then sync your iPod to your "consolidated" iTunes library.
