Contacts and appointments lost to the iCloud

I recently updated my iTunes software for my IPod and it asked if I wanted to sync my information to the iCloud.  I did... then later noticed that all of my contacts and calendar appointments on my PC were gone.  I just figured I would sync my Torch to the desktop manager and put them all back... Not what happened.  Now the information is missing from my Outlook on my PC and from my Torch.  It is however, on the iCloud.  The Verizon Blackberry technicians were not able to get the information back onto my Torch.  Any ideas???  Since when did Apple and Blackberry engage in a data feud and start taking hostages??

Hi,
It may happen that you've misconfigured Sync direction and hence such issue arises. Check the below KB article on proper sync setup -

    Hi Shero89,
    Thanks for the answer.  I am not new to IOS software but I don't really ever bother with it, have discovered how little I take advantage of the i-phones capability, in reality I still only really use it to phone, text, check emails, listen to music and look on internet.  I'm not keen on jailbreaking it as I don't trust it to work so normally just update and leave it at that.  Only reason I wanted to downgrade was because the update had stopped my bluetooth working but Kilted Tim solved that problem for me so am now not interested in downgrading software.  I quite liked the things that IOS 5.1 gave me but wasn't happy with fact that bluetooth stopped working in car as it caused me problems.  One day I might try and work out exactly what I-phones can do but on the basis that it's a phone all I really want it to do is phone, if that bit works I'm happy.

  • TS4147 iCloud update today removed my main contacts and placed them in the icloud folder along with my other contact groups.. now they are all mixed together.

    Outlook 2010. I had a main id plus several other address books. I updated the iCloud control panel today and it merged all of my address books into an iCloud address book, it removed my main contacts and mixed them all into the other address books.

    Restore your backup.

    Lord K.  Thank you. Yes I am within the 90 time period, however I travel Intertionally and I can not receive not make a call to Apple. I was just at the Genius Bar in Chicago and they said, don't worry about it.  It just floats out there, however, I can not recover my messages on a flash drive. I need to go back to my old computer which I don't have with me.  My messages were in folders for a lawsuit.  It is going to take an incredible amount of work for me to, you have no Idea.  We are talking thousands of pages!  I the defendent will have them during discovery so I am not so worried.  However, I can not bring them to him on a Flashdrive when I meet with him without an extraordinary amount of presssure on my part.  THis is not just some little email issue. This is suing EXPEDIA and Tripadviosr.com

  • HT5624 My husband just got an iPhone also, can we have separate iCloud accts? All my contacts and appointments are now on his phone too.

    My husband just got an iPhone also, can we have separate iCloud accts? All my contacts and appointments are now on his phone too.

    I had the same problem too.
    Yes, you can go apply for a new AppleID, which would be <your account>@icloud.com.
    Then put this new AppleID into the icloud account field.
    After this action, you will not be seeing the same contacts and appointments.
    But for the itunes store, you still can use the same AppleID so that you can share purchases.
    My wife and I use separate icloud accounts, and then we use a 3rd appleid for our itunes store. This allowed us to have separate contacts but still share itune purchases.

  • Is it possible to sync with both my win 7 computer (Outlook 2010), and with iCloud, without duplicating contacts and appointments? thanks.

    Is it possible to sync with both my win 7 computer (Outlook 2010), and with iCloud, without duplicating contacts and appointments? thanks.

    Hey keiichi-san,
    Yes, It is possible. You can merge contacts, calendars, and bookmarks between multiple computers.
    When you sync the contacts and calendars to your iPhone from the new computer you'll see the option to Merge or Replace, just choose Merge.
    These articles provide more information on syncing options:

  • The hard disc of my laptop has crashed and i lost all the data. Now I want to take back up of my I phone and transfer contacts , messages and music back into my laptop , how can I do that. Pl help

    The hard disc of my laptop has crashed and i lost all the data. Now I want to take back up of my I phone and transfer contacts , messages and music etc back into my laptop , how can I do that. Also let me know how I can transfer the contacts into Windows contacts from I phone. Pl help

    Your content will only be where you put it.  It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
    You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
    You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
    You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

  • HT201210 i have update and  restore my wife iphone to 7.0.4  and i lost all the data what to do now? all contacts and kids photos goooone , we have the same apple ID and when i tried to restore from i cloude , i restored my contacts not her???!!!!!

    Looks like you restored your backup file to her phone. If you didn't back up your wife's phone first, then the data is gone, sorry.

  • I lost my iphone and i dont have the icloud app on how can i find it

    my iphone 4 was supposably stole i called the police and they said to track it. i tried and ithought i had the icloud app working but i guess not because my divice wasnt found is it possible to find it another way

    Only way to track it is if you had find my iphone installed and activated prior to losing your phone.
    Then you can go to icloud.com to track it.
    If you didn't do the above, then sorry nothing you can do to track it.  Report it to your phone carrier.

    Hello JinxUK,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iCloud Control Panel.  I found an article referencing the error message you are getting:
    “Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error.”
    Apple is investigating this issue. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.

  • My contacts and appointments have vanished

    I have an iphone 3gs and a pc running Vista and use Microsoft Outlook  2007. I installed iOS5 and icloud and now all of my contacts and appointments have vanished from Outlook. What should I do? I was due to buy a mac laptop this week to replace my pc but am disappointed with Apple for creating this problem. I have looked on Google and lots of people seem to have similar problems caused by icloud but no one seems to know how to rectify it.

    Thanks for replying but I already have outlook on iphone. I have been syncing it all along via usb lead with no problems. Now the info is still on phone but not pc. Strangely some appointments (very few) have remained in calendar but my contacts have all vanished.

  • How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud?

    How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud? I backed up my iphone to the Cloud but now the files are nowhere to be found.
    I had to reset all content and settings in order to troubleshoot an issue. Before I did this, I backed up the iphone to icloud. When I reprogrammed the phone, I had to set it up as a new device and individually sync apps and other items from itunes. But by doing this, I somehow lost some videos and can't seem to find where they would have been saved/backed up. Can anyone offer any guidance?

    You can't view photos and videos on icloud (except for shared photo stream pics).  iCloud merely sync photos between devices using the stream.  If you don't have photo stream turned on, then the only place photos in the camera roll are located are in a backup.  You would have to restore from the backup.  But be warned that many users have ended up losing their photos when performing a restore, for whatever reason. 
    What you should do in the future is always sync photos/videos to a computer for storage, don't leave them on a device or trust icloud to somehow store them.

  • I have one iPhone GS and one iPad 2, how do I syncronise my contacts and my calendar between the two devices?

    I  have one iPhone GS and one iPad 2, how do I syncronise my contacts and my calendar between the two devices?

    Install iOS 5 onto both and you can use iCloud to sync contacts and calendars between the 2 devices.
