Can't connect to .Mac, lost all Contacts, Calendar info

Hi all.
I have a recent iPod touch. It's set up to synchronize (Mail, Contacts, iCal, Applications) wirelessly with MobileMe, NOT via iTunes.
Everything was working fine.
This afternoon, I loaded 5 pictures and also used the Maps application.
Now, back home, the iPod can't connect to MobileMe: if I try to use the Mail application, it displays the msg "Checking for Mail..." forever and nothing happens. Eventually, I get a msg stating "Cannot Get Mail The user name or password for [email protected] is incorrect". (That is ********.), I click OK and then it states "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed".
I also appear to have lost all my contacts (only about 1200) and all the calendar info.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi, everybody.
Following an Apple troubleshooting procedure, I ended up deleting my account and re-creating one and was then able to recover my contacts, mail and calendar info from MobileMe.

  • 3G won't sync after update. Lost all contacts, calendars, etc.

    Since I installed the stupid 4.0 update I can't sync. I get an error message that says "Sync Server and Mobile Device Helper has encountered a problem and has to close". Also "Itunes could not back up phone because session failed".
    I am so angry and of course Apple wants me to pay for them to help me with a problem they caused.
    I have already uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes. It didn't work. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?

    If you are trying to get your mail and calendar from an Exchange Server (typically corporate e-mail and calendar) or Google Apps / Google Sync (not sure if that is the right name, but it is the Google Service that is also using Exchange) then check out [this Knowledge Base article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3398] for a work around. If you are not using Exchange or the Google service that uses Exchange you'll have to keep looking for someone that is experiencing your problem.
    Good Luck!

  • I got new iphone and when i connect it to my pc, it lost all my current data and replaced it with the backup on my computer, which is from april. so i have lost all my calendar information and schedule. does anyone know how i can reverse this?

    Every backup replaces the old one, so, unless you included the backup folder in your computer backup routine, you can't get back your calendar info.
    The only time iTunes will not replace a backup is, when you use it to restore from, this one will stay in the backup list in iTunes.

    I caught my phone 4. Had to buy a new one, lost all contacts, and calendar photos. how can I recover them?

    What does "I caught my phone 4" mean?
    All contacts, calendars, photos etc should be on your computer as the iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.
    Just sync them to your new iphone.

  • 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.

    one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working .  May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Lost all contacts on ipad2 when manually entering new contact.

    On a trip in May, I lost all contacts when entering new ones.  I use Windows Live Mail and had to call and spend a long time with three different Apple techs in order to get the contacts back.  I actually forgot about the problem and entered one new contact yesterday (on another trip) and lost ALL contacts again.  I can't call for help until I return home because I have the name of the tech who solved my problem at home. 
    Here I am on another trip without any e-mail contacts.  Why hasn't Apple updated the software and fixed this problem?

    Okay...
    I lost all my contact phone numbers for some reason when iSyncing with Motorola Raizor V3 or whaterver they call it. I have been searching the web for a solution and everyone seems to find the file AddressBook.data and AddressBook.data.previous and restore all back into normal. I, on the other side, cannot find these files. I got to <user>/Library/Application Support/Address Book and these files are not there! Why aren't they there??? I dont get it... everyone else finds them there.
    Another solution I have found people doing is going to /Library/Application Support/SyncService/Backup Data and finding a folder there called Address Book that contains the data but NOT on my mac! I am not a Mac illiterate either.
    I have a back up of some of the data but it is not very up to date. I lost all the phone numbers only. Weird. It doesnt make any sense! Thanks a lot iSync!
    This is frustrating because I didn't not only lose ALL my numbers on my Address Book, I lost all my numbers on my cell phone too!
    I am running Leopard 10.5.6.
    Wanna hear something funny? I just found out my girlfriend is pregnant, I lost my job yesterday, the valet-parking driver crashed my car and I got robbed. And I am not even joking but it doesn't mean it's not funny because somehow, I find it all hysterical! Cheers -- gonna go for some icecream now.

  • I updated my iPhone 5c to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events.  How can I get them back?

    I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events.  How can I get them back?  I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud.  I changed it back and still don't have any events.

    Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers?  If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

  • I-phone 2.0 update - lost all contacts

    This a.m. did the 2.0 update and lost all contacts. Calender good, photos good, notes good, mail good. Did not have on PC but part of download said "backing up information" WHERE?
    Did 2nd I-phone right after, before checking the first one, and that download went 100% not loosing anything!
    Contacts where different on each phone.

    A very similar problem happened to me. Had some issues during the update which I think may have initially caused the problem. Anyway, that was a couple weeks ago. Just today I was trying to figure out a way to restore it again and I got it. Before the 2.0 software is updated the iPhone automatically backups everthing. To restore your contacts, calendar, photos, text messages, and settings following these steps:
    1. Open iTunes on the same computer you performed the update on.
    2. Connect your iPhone.
    3. Right-click on your phone ("Your name's iPhone") under "Devices" in the left column.
    4. Left-click on "Restore from Backup..."
    5. Select your phone from the drop-down menu.
    6. Click Restore.
    As I said, this should restore your contacts, calendar, photos, text messages, and settings to the way they were before you updated it. It does NOT revert your phone to pre-2.0 software. The new 2.0 firmware will remain in place!
    Hope this works for you!
    Let me know if you're successful!!

  • After upgrade I Lost all contacts

    After upgrade I Lost all contacts, can't switch contact to text, can't edit text, who knows what else is wrong? Should I upgrade again or restore backup?

    Contacts are meant to be synched with the contact manager app on your phone or with a cloud service.  If you failed to use your phone as recommended, your contacts are very likely gone.
