Exporting Contact and Calendar Data

Help, My son son recently upgraded and passed me his 3G phone. He has asked if I can export his contacts information to something like a csv file. I have no idea how to do this (and neither has he) so can anyone help please.

My Calendar and Contact info was intact. All email archives were lost (no big deal since all are in the MacBook anyway) and my default ring tone was changed.
Otherwise, so far so good.
Suggestion: Look in iTunes in your PC and see if the contact info is there; if so, try a resync.

The contacts and calendar data on my iPod touch will not sync with my Mac

I have a 2nd generation ipod touch, and an iMac running iTunes 8.2.1.
I have been away from my mac for a few months and have entered a lot of contact and calendar info into my ipod touch.
Now, when I try to sync the contacts and calendar data on my ipod touch with my mac, the data will not sync to my mac.
Similarly, for the last couple months, the contact and calendar data on my ipod touch has not been able to sync with my mobileme account.
I cannot afford to lose the contact and calendar data on my ipod touch.
Can anyone kindly inform me how to fix this syncing problem without losing such data?

I synced my iphone and have now lost all of my contacts and calendar data. How do I get this back?

It should all be on your computer in whatever program you have been syncing.
Sync it back.

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.

Movies are not stored in your iCloud account unless you add them in the theater feature of iMovie version 10.

Why won't my wife's new iPad2 upload the "contacts" and "calendar" data from Outlook when I sync it. Her iPhone does it just fine.

Microsoft Exchange - saving contacts and calendar data

Hi all,
I have just joined a new company and I will be connecting my iPhone to their email network using Microsoft Exchange. However, I want to make sure I do not lose my existing contact and calendar data. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I can do? Currently, my contacts and calendar are synchronized with Outlook in my home computer.

Mistiano,
As long as your contact and calendar data is synced to Outlook, you shouldn't lose anything as it will still be saved on your computer.
If you'd like to keep your personal contacts and calendars synced concurrently to your iPhone along with the companies, you could either move your contacts to their server or apply for a MobileMe account, which would keep your data separate: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/
Hope this helps,

Export contacts and calendar to microsoft outlook

How do I export contacts and calendar to microsoft outlook? Everything is correct on icloud and my phone but outlook calendar and contacts got wiped out. Perhaps during a retore of the phone? I've tried all sorts of setting changes with the help of IT but nothing works. Using an export function from icloud only exports one contact at a time even thought I select all. When I use the icloud control panel to write a file, it bombs out regardless of whether I select all contacts and calendars or selected ones. At one point I accidentally merged contacts and calendar entries (double and quadruple contacts). I've manually corrected both contacts and calendar entries on icloud so that it and my phone are now correct, but the outlook contacts and calendar are remain empty and will not sync. I've spent days on this debarkle.

same problem here. let me know if you find a solution.

IOS6 on iPhone 4s deleted contacts and calendar dates

I updated iOS6 on my iPhone 4s and it deleted all my contacts and calendar dates.
I have a 2008 Macbook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard and iTunes 10.6
I plugged in my phone after realizing all my contacts and dates were deleted. iTunes popped up and said that my iPhone was not compatible with it and I needed to download iTunes 10.6.3 or later.
Since I am running 10.5.8 Leopard, I can't download iTunes 10.7 (which I think is the only thing I can download currently off of Apple).
Does anyone have a solution for me on how to get my contacts and dates back?
Thanks!

Any update or response from an Apple employee/technician for this problem?
I too have had everything wiped off my phone when updating to iOS 6. Never had this problem before and was not clearly informed that the phone may get wiped (sure, there was an essay to read but, like most people, just clicked confirm). Every other update I've had has gone smoothly without a problem so presumed this would be the same.
Why was there not a clear warning stated before going ahead with the upgrade that your phone may get wiped and you will need to back it up just incase?
Not a happy customer!
NB was able to get my contacts back only via iCloud.

How do I get my contact and calendar data brought back from iCloud and reinstated in Outlook on my PC?

I just accepted Apple's kind invitation to synchronize my Outlook contacts and calendar with their iCloud storage. I foolishly accepted the invitation only to discover that iCloud didn't synchronize my data but stole it without any warning as to what it was going to do. Does anyone know how I can recover my data and put it back onto Outlook on my PC? I need to be able to access it when I'm offline, which I can't do if it's all hidden away in the iCloud. Besides that, any new contacts that I add don't automatically get added to iCloud. The whole arrangement makes a mockery of the concept of "synchronization".

Your data is in Outlook, in the iCloud account instead of the local (Personal Folders) account.

Desktop manager 7.1 fails to restore Contacts and Calendar from backups

Today I discovered that I lost my contact and calendar lists on my playbook after upgrading to OS version 2.1.0.1032.
As a precaution I backed up my device data and apps using desktop manager 7.1 and used windows explorer to duplicate my media folder using the Z:drive option before I started the OS upgrade.
Since I learned how to deal with lost device data and apps on my BB smart phone I was confident that I could apply this knowledge to my Playbook too, just in case something happened.
Well, something happened. My PlayBook backup file became a trap even so the desktop manager manual said: “To restore all your smartphone data or tablet data, click All device data and settings.”
If one ‘thinks’ the phone learning curve can be applied to the Playbook one is doomed as I found out today. The PlayBook backup function for the contact and calendar listing behaves differently than for the BB phone. There is no warning in Desktop Manager 7.1 which says: “This backup file excludes contact and calendar data files which were manually built by the user and are not part of a synced email server”.
So this posting is about letting other users know to be aware of some OS 2.1.0.1032 short comings. If your contact and/or calendar list was manually built, i.e. it was not linked to an email account you might encounter the above issue.
When I noticed that my contact and calendar file did not sync with my email account I started to use my contact list for everything useful to remember not just contacts. There were many extra fields available in the PlayBook contact list which could not be matched with the limited fields found in other synced contact lists. So I built a big ‘Good to Know’ file with all kinds of info hoping that one day I could use it also with BB10.
Unfortunately this OS version wiped my contact and calendar lists which none of the other OS updates were able to do and the ‘Restore’ option via desktop manger 7.1 did not work!!!. So it looks like some engineering wizard at RIM is trying to upset the non-linked contact list users with this release version.
I hope RIM finds this ‘group of moles(?)' and deals with these engineers before they can do anymore damage. Remember RIM, the object is to enjoy new updates not to fear them. It would be nice if desktop manager 7.2 would alert us users with a warning or lets us export these files via another tip like: “How can I back up contact and calendar files for the PlayBook“. I realize as of today that this problem was with me all along but came only to light after this OS release wiped my 2 lists completely. There is also no hint in the PB or Desktop user manuals!
For the time being I will use only my phone’s contact and calendar lists via the bridge as a work around but I hope the responsible RIM manager reads this postings and tells his engineers to go forward not backwards. Tell them to include a backup feature for non-linked contact and calendar data in 7.2. Not everybody has linked data files or if this is RIM’s intention then let us users know upfront that one could loose his/her data.
If you ‘liked’ this posting click the ‘Thumb up’ box near by even so this issue has no solution at this point in time. Let’s hope RIM deals with this issue eventually.

Contacts and calendar events disappearing and reappearing

I have three issues, two of which I think are related.
1.
My contacts disappear on my iPhone 3G. I am set up with MobileMe to auto sync and I don't know if that is getting screwed up somehow? The contact are on my Mac lap top when I go look (thank goodness), and I force a sync and they transfer to my phone fine. This has happened twice now. I have copied my contacts as vCards and saved that file in the downloads folder just in case they get lost on both my laptop and my iPhone - I also do a regular full laptop backup to my Time Machine - is there anything else I should be doing to back up my contact and calendar data?
2. (possibly related to 1.)
When I am looking at my iCal in the weekly view on my laptop, sometimes several of my appointments are not visible. It is only when I try to put an appointment in that is at the same time as the invisible ones that they suddenly reappear.
3. One of my contacts will not sync from my iPhone to my lap top? It used to be in both places but for some reason it is now only on my iPhone and even when I sync, it doesn't come into my laptop Address Book.
Help please!!!

i am having what i think is a very similar problem in that my Exchange (you seem to use only mobileme) contacts partially disappear. i discover this when i check my sms message list and find that many messages show only the phone number when earlier the name was there. a check of the contacts list shows that some have disappeared.
i restarted the phone and checked immediately but it was still gone but after a few minutes they came back.
my theory is that something is going on with messy exchange server syncs with my iphone that could be causing the process to break midway but after a while the phone automatically syncs again.
this issue appears quite rarely for me but enough to be noticed and to be annoying.

I can't set up contacts and calendar for iCloud on my PC

I'm trying to set up iCloud so it'll sync my Mail, Contacts, and Calendar & Tasks between my Windo. However, the iCloud Control Panel won't let me set up the Contacts and Calendar & Tasks. When setting up, it asks me to shut down Outlook (which I do). Then it tells me that I need to restart Outlook with Mail enabled and that I need to add my iCloud account in order to add Contacts and Calendar & Tasks. I have no idea what the former means. I have added my iCloud account although what I REALLY want to sync is the Contacts and Calendar data from the e-mail I use Outlook for (which is also my Apple ID). I have Outlook 2010. Any idea why I'm getting this message and how I can set up iCloud?

Hi there bakingcountrygirl2011!
I have a couple of articles here that should help you get iCloud set up on your Windows machine. The first is about activating iCloud mail in Outlook, and can be found below:
iCloud: Set up iCloud Mail on your devices and computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2621
And here are the steps you need to follow:
Set up iCloud Mail on Microsoft Outlook 2010 or Microsoft Outlook 2007
Open the iCloud Control Panel, select (to turn on) the Mail, Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks checkbox, then click Apply.
To open the iCloud Control Panel in Windows 8, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, then click iCloud Control Panel on the left.
To open the iCloud Control Panel in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Your iCloud Mail account is displayed in the left column of Microsoft Outlook.
To view your iCloud Mail account in Microsoft Outlook, click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iCloud email account.
If you are still having issues with your contacts after following the instructions in that article, you will want to see this article, about troubleshooting sync issues with your iCloud contacts:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998
You will also probably want to pay special attention to this particular part of that article:
Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
For Outlook 2010, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active:
Open Outlook 2010.
Click the File menu.
Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins," and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed
For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
Open Outlook 2007
From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
Select Add-ins from the left column.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins," and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
For additional information about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook, see this Microsoft support document.
Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Contacts and Calendar not Pushing

After doing a restore and update to 2.1 my contacts and calendar data are no longer in my phone. I have set the push switches for the email address to one (email works fine). I have changed the push settings on the iPhone to manual, then 15. I have gone back to the email account and cancelled sync and restarted it. The data is just not downloading from the cloud.
Any other ideas on how to encourage this to happen?
Thanks

Looking into this further, I found that my email address in my iPhone had a double @me.com. The address was [email protected]@me.com. The second @me.com did not show until I deleted the address and tried to type it in again. Then immediately the @me.com would appear after what I was typing but before the @me.com.
I deleted the account and created a new one, and everything works for now.
