Calendar data gone after syncing

I performed a manual sync with my iPhone and the data on my computer's calendar is now gone. The sync to my phone was successful.
I can probably restore the desktop data through Time Machine, but need to know which files to restore...and would also like to know what I did wrong so I don't do it again.
Thanks!

If the .bak file does not have the data, it is gone. This is the only file other than the .bak that has data is the .dat file.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

IPhone Calendar wiped out after sync with an empty Outlook 2003 Calendar

I need some help.
iPhone Calendar wiped out after sync with an empty Outlook 2003 Calendar.
Unable to restore from backup as my iPhone was backed-up before I realised my calendar info was gone.
I found an old backup file in my old disk but was unable to move the old calendar data to the empty outlook after restore. It just keep wiping out after I sync.

I have managed to find an old back up to restore my iPhone. However even with at least one entry in my outlook, my calendar details on my iPhone was still wiped out and was not transferred to my outlook.

After update calendar dates gone from previous months

After updating to 5.1.1. on my IPAD, My dates in my calendar are gone. How can I get my information back?

Norman,
Did you by any chance figure this out? I am having the same issue right now, with the phone being recognized...but not synching music (or anything else) to the phone. I no longer use my 3g as a phone, but only as an iPod.
Any insight you have will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Missing a calendar in iCal after syncing with MobileMe....

i am having some problems with iCal ...i am missing one my Calendars in iCal and wasn't sure how to get it back. I downloaded the calendars file and calendar.plist from my Time Machine backup...the missing calendar showed up at first, but it seemed to disappear right away (i assume after syncing with MobileMe.) Not sure what would be the easiest way to bring it back.......

It's possible to restore from Time Machine, though it's a slightly complicated process. Please follow very carefully the steps described here:

Why is there a 2 hour difference between calendar event times after syncing? i.e., Dental appointment set at 9am on iphone but shows as 7am in icloud on pc after syncing.

I noticed that when I enter a time for an event on my calendar on my iphone then sync it to icloud the event is show but the time for the event shows a 2 hour difference. Example: Dental appointment set for 9:00 am on my iphone but after sync to icloud on my PC, it shows the time to 7:00 am on my PC calendar. Why is this?

To diesel vdub
I found where to check icloud settings. Changed setting from Pacific to Central. That solved the problem.Thank you so much.

Error processing calendar data (210) after installing Sec Update 2010-1

When we were first setting up the web calendar, we had some trouble with 210 errors because the directory we were storing the calendar data in didn't have the right permissions. We reverted the data store to the default location Library/CalendarServer/Documents, with the Documents folder having the _calendar user as owner, with read & write access, the _calendar group having read only access, and everyone having no access.
This hasn't changed.
However, after installing the Sec Update 2010-1 last night, we're getting 210 errors again. Any ideas?

Looks like it's a DNS issue for me
2010-01-21 16:15:02-0500 [-] "Error processing data from calendar server: DNS lookup failed: address u'fileserver.mydomain.com' not found: (8, 'nodename nor servname provided, or not known')."

Outlook Mail + Contact + Calendar folders change after sync

I use Outlook and after sync with my iPhone my Favorite Folder list changes. The Calendar and Contact folder names appear in Favorites (not there before) and cannot be deleted by right click and selecting "Remove from Favorite Folders". I found that by rebooting my computer the two folder names disappear but so do all my folders I added to my Favorites list. The only ones remaining are the default ones; Inbox, Outbox etc. I have to then select and add the additional ones I require. Also, when I now click the Calendar button I see only the three month calendar on the left pane and the day calendar on the right pane...with no other options available and when I click the Contact button I get the Calendar choices and if I click one of those choices the Calendar button light up.
To access my Contacts I have to right click the Contacts button and select "Open in New Window". If I do the same with the Calendar button I get the same Calendar window as just by clicking the Calendar button.
Has anyone experienced this problem? How can I fix it?
This happens each type I sync. All the contact info and appointment info sync OK to the iPhone.

Hi,
I activated Exchange sync for contacts and also Mobile Me sync for Address Book in the first phase when I started to use my iPhone 3G. So I didn't lost any local contacts on my phone. Both Exchange and Mobile Me work on my phone simultaneously.
I can put Mobile Me sync off and those contacts will disappear from my phone. And when I re-connect Mobile Me, contacts sync fine back to my phone.
I have minor problem though, Exchange sync works fine from my phone to server and vice versa. But Mobile Me seems not to work from Address Book to Phone. When I do this disconnect - reconnect workaround I can get the results I'm looking for, but it's not that user-friendly and "it's only working"-type procedure to do.
Any ideas where could be the problem?

Calendar data missing after upgrade to OS X 10.9.3

Just upgraded my 2013 iMac to OS X Mavericks 10.9.3. After rebooting the iMac noticed that my Calendar data is no longer present. How do I restore my Calendar data from Time Machine External Backup drive. I had a year's worth of calendar data.

Is your calendar held in iCloud or "On my Mac". If it is in iCloud, log into iCloud.com and check the Calendar there. Also check that the appropriate options are checked in your Preferences for iCloud.
This thread details how to recover from Time Machine

In future, I would export your Calendar to make an Archive copy and keep it in a safe place. The same with Contacts and other user specific data.

PARTIAL CONTACTS DATA DELETED AFTER SYNCING

After syncing iphone 3gs with PC, noticed a portion of my data in the notes field in my Contacts is missing. I tried to re-sync twice and data is still missing. This has never happened before. Please advise.

If your using a Mac then the contacts are saved in Address Book. Depending on how you sync the contacts regardless of whether they are created on your iphone or computer should dissapear when deleted.
From memory in Windows there is a Contacts folder in your My Computer folder so i guess they would be saved there.
I had exactly this issue a couple of weeks back - around the time I upgraded to OS4.
I sync using mobileme and I when I connected up my iphone to itunes I ended up with a ton of old contacts back on my phone - some of which I deleted months ago and were never on my iphone in the first place (but were on address book)!
I also know for a fact that those deleted contacts were not present in Address Book at the time of the iphone duplication so it couldnt have been because they were on AB but not on my iphone - so I have spent a while going through all my contacts and deleting the duplicate contacts of those I used and completely deleting up to 3 of each contacts i no longer use and deleted months ago!

ICal/Calendar data deleted during sync with MM

Somehow I managed to delete the contents of nearly all my calendars last night. They're gone on all my handhelds and from my iMac - there is still a nearly-complete copy on one of my MacBooks. I shut off wifi on that computer until I can figure out a way to fix this.
Based on reading other Q&A, I believe that I have to either use the iCal Backup command for each calendar, delete the calendars in iCal on that MB, and then reimport them and sync with MM. I also thought there might be a chance that I can just back up the calendar files that are in my Library, delete the calendars in iCal on the MB and reimport. It may be possible that I could just back up the calendar files in the Library and reopen the sync to MM and see what happens - I can then force the sync to use the data that's on my computer. I'm leery of doing that last one because I don't know what will happen when I turn wifi back on to allow the sync to happen - I'm afraid that the MM contents (now nearly empty) will wipe out the iCal information on the MB.
I think this all happened because I was syncing a large amount of data from 2Do on my iPhone to MM Calendar (or so I thought) and the latest update from 2Do had reset the default sync server address to be in iCloud. I'm in the process of moving to the cloud, but so far all I've done is updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS5.1 (within the past couple of days). After that sync process went on for some time, I got a sync error from either iOS5.1 or from 2Do, and in response I chose the "revert to server" option (instead of the "use the data on my computer" or whatever it said), and by that time my MM calendar was toast. Everything was working just fine up to that moment, and I've been slowly getting ready to move to iCloud in the next day or two. This problem won't stop that if I can get the calendars restored - I have far too much information in iCal to just ignore the matter and move on.
So my question is whether or not the process outlined in paragraph 2 above is the appropriate approach to repairing this inconvenience, or if there's a better way to do it.

Greetings Mike,
Something has gone wrong in the sync process.
As you indicate your best set of data is on your MacBook I would suggest:
Make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to the desktop of the computer that still has calendars.
Go to me.com and add 1 new blank calendar
Delete all calendars but the 1 new blank calendar (this removes any potentially corrupt data being stored in MobileMe).
Turn WiFi back on on your Macbook and go to Calendars > Refresh All -- The calendars that were feeding from MobileMe should vanish as you deleted them from the server.
Go to File > New Calendar > MobileMe and create a new calendar for each of the ones you exported from iCal do your desktop.
Double-click each of the calendars you exported to the desktop one at a time and import them to the new calendar place holder you created for them in step 5. Allow each calendar to import and upload to MobileMe before you go to the next calendar (this may take some time depending on your Internet connection upload speed which is traditionally low for most consumer level ISPs.)
Side note:
Your profile here says you are running 10.6.7. I assume you have upgraded to Lion as that is required for iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
If you haven't upgraded to Lion: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 you will want to do that before MobileMe service ends in June. Keep in mind before upgrading you want to make sure all your commonly use Applications are Lion compatible and that you have a current backup of your data: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427.
Hope that helps!

Ipad/iphone shifts calendar times +1hr after syncing with Outlook or ical

Hi,
I am having a problem when I sync my (PC) outlook calendar to my iphone(OS4.1) or ipad.(And my wife is having exactly the same problem when she syncs her iphone/ipad with her macbook pro (she uses ical/snow leopard)).
I live in a time zone that is GMT +3hrs. There is no summer time change here. Both devices are set to GMT +3Hrs with no summer time changes / daylight savings.
Every month I upload a calendar electronically to Outlook (from a program called Roster2Outlook) and occasionally enter some data into it manually on my PC and on my iphone/ipad.
The problem is this:-
When I sync my PC with my iphone/ipad the times on the iphone/ipad are always 1 hour later than displayed on my calendar in outlook on my PC. I then have to modify the times on my iphone and take off 1hour. If I enter an event on my iphone it appears in my calendar in Outlook 1 hour earlier (after a sync).
I get several monthly changes to my schedule and then when I update my outlook calender and sync it to my iphone again, all the times appear 1Hr later on my iphone and have to be manually adjusted.
This may seem trivial, but when one event is added on one device and it shows up at a different time on another device, it gets very confussing, as you never know which time is correct in your calendar, as it depends on which device you entered it and whether you synced it or not! I am tearing my hair out.
I also sync my calandar to my ipad, which appears to be doing the same thing.
So, to cut a long story short, any idea's why this is happening and how to fix it? (Please don't tell me I have the wrong time zone set on a device - because I haven't - they are all on the same time zone!)
I did have an idea that I could "shift" the calendar that I electronically upload to Outlook back by 1 Hour, so that the times would be 1Hr wrong in outlook but correct on my iphone and ipad (the devices that I predominantly use) but this still doesn't solve the problem of it being a bodge!
Any ideas / solutions much appreciated. Anyone else having this problem?
Please help!
Cheers,
i eye.

I figured out my iPad sync issue. First of all, I swore up and down I had all my time zone preferences set correctly in both google calendar and on my iPad. I was wrong.
There are two places in google calendar that can cause an issue:
(1) Settings>Calendar Settings>General
(2) Settings>Calendar Settings>Calendars>[Individual Calendar]
There are two places on the iPad to check:
(1) Settings>General>Date & Time (however I think this might not do anything because.....)
(2) Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Calendars>Time Zone Support (this was the elusive one for me)
But It's fixed now and I'm happy.

IPhone 4 - All Data gone after iOS5 update

My coworker has an iPhone 4 but her home computer doesn't have a version of iTunes new enough to update the phone to iOS5. I installed iTunes and backed up the phone on her work computer and when I went to updated it to iOS5, everything was gone. Apps, contacts, pictures... everything! I had this problem with my own iPhone 4, so I restored from backup and all was well. However, when I tried with hers, it says there was an error (-50) and asks me to continue the restore and I say yes, but nothing.
There are 4 backups in my backup folder, but even when I used iPhone Backup Restore, it says there is no data in the backup. Are my backups corrupted? Is there any way to recover data?

Apps and music are not part of the backup process. They should already exist in the iTunes library of the machine it's being updated from and are synced back at the end of the update process. Unfortunately, since the update was done on a different machine, that didn't happen.
If your co-worker didn't have a late enough version of iTunes to update the phone, that also means she won't even be able to sync the phone with her computer.
Why doesn't she just download the current iTunes? Then she can sync her stuff back. Unless, that is, she has a Mac running a version of Mac OS X older than 10.5...

Outlook 2011 calendar data gone!

I have os x 10.6.8 and outlook 2011 14.3.9. I was adding an appt to my calendar and all the data in the entire calendar disappeared. This is a disaster. Can you pls tell me how to retrieve it?
Thanks so much.

Apparently it isn't gone just disappeared as I got a alarm today for a scheduled mtg. I must have changed to a new calendar that has no data. How do I get the one I have been using back?
Thanks for your help.
