Gmail contacts and calendars disappear

My Gmail account is synced but at least once a day all of my contacts and calendars disappear. This happens with Exchange and Gmail. If I do a shutdown cycle holding home and power, then immediately sync they sometimes come back. How do I get them to stop deleting and get them back? In the mean time is there an easier way to get them back for when I don't have my laptop with me?

When you enable Icloud on the Ipad they should upload to the server. And then when you setup icloud on the computer with outlook they will download and update outlook.

How to sync bb/outlook/gmail contacts and calendar

i have a bb 9530 and outlook 2007 running on a 64-bit windows 7 pc. i use outlook to view my gmail. i also have the bb gmail app on my phone and that keeps email in sync between gmail servers and the phone as well as outlook since it is setup for an imap account. so that's all good.
the problem is that i need to know the best way to keep my contacts and calendar in sync as well. since i can't "imap" my gmail contacts and calendar, there are 3 different locations to sync for those.
also, the gmail sync app for outlook has alot of problems on windows 7 and 64-bit vista or 7 so that didn't work either.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks... dave

I have the same problem. Did you learn how to solve this?

Contacts and calendar disappeared?

All my contacts and calendar events have just disappeared. I only have the iPad mini so I am not connected to any other device. I can't even enter a new event on my current blank calendar. How do I get my info back? Thanks

When turning on over the air syncing for Contacts and Calendars with a MobileMe account on an iPhone, all contacts and calendar events on the iPhone are erased first and replaced with your MM online address book and calendar events. After the initial transfer from your MM online address book and calendar(s), contact info and calendar events are kept synchronized between the two.
Your MM online address book and calendar events are designed to be kept synchronized with the supported application or applications on your computer.
When a MM account is cancelled, the data on the MM "cloud" is no longer available.

Why did my contacts and calendar disappear?

After being away for several days, I logged on to find Address Book contacts and iCal calendar empty. They're empty when I use the icons. When I access through Outlook bar, entries appear, but it looks like Apple entries, not Microsoft entries.

Are you using iCloud? If so, did you somehow log into www.icloud.com and accidently delete Contacts and/or Calendar entries? Or did you uncheck iCloud as a source for Contacts and Calendars in those applications? Maybe only 'On My Mac' is selected in those apps and that is empty for Contacts and Calendars.

Blackberry Z10 will no longer Sync and Sympatico Contacts and calendar have disappeared

Two weeks ago my sympatico email stopped on my blackberry. The email was uninstalled and reinstalled and the contacts and calendar disappeared and the phone stopped synconizing . When the email is loaded on another Z10 the contacts and calendar come in. The issue appears to have happened after an update.Restoring the phone to factory settings did not help. I can get all other emails to load including contacts and email. Does anyone have a solution other than getting rid of this phone.
Sympatico does not appear to be an issue as I can load the email on other blackberry devices and have loaded it on another Z10 with no issue.
I have made called to Blackberry and they keep pushing me back to Bell but based on the tests above it seems to be a Blackberry issue not sure how to resolve and frustrated.

Two thoughts.
When you did the factory reset the wise thing to have done would be add the email and test before restoring and reinstalling apps. If the problem is corrupt settings or data, you might end up restoring the problem. Testing beforehand gives you an whether or not the stock software install is ok.
If you didn't test with clean device, I would do a security wipe or repeat the reset to factory and test.
If you did test on clean device, then I would do a clean OS install, and test.
In my opinion the issue is software, one way or the other. You may want to go straight to clean OS install.

Iphone 5 running IOS 7.0 lost Outlooks contacts and calendars

I installed IOS 7.0 and synced with my pc and all of my contacts and calendar disappeared from Outlook 2010. They are still on my phone ... how do I get them back to Outlook? Tried syncing with Itunes ... doesn't work. Can anyone help?

We (my wife and I) are having the same battery problem since iOS7.06 on our iPhone 4S - 16GB.
The stand-by time and usage time indicate the same time. In the past we were able to use our phones without charging between 07AM and 10PM (iOS7.04) but since 7.06 we need to charge our phones around 5/6PM.
We already tried quite a few things:
- press home + power button for about 10 seconds and wait till apple logo comes up
- turned off/on phone
- removed sim
- flightmode on/off
- bluetooth off
- only use WIFI home, work, at family, friends (so no 3G)
- removed e-mail accounts and connected them again (e.g. Gmail account)
- to reduce the battery drain for a but we already changed these things or added these:
* fetch e-mail per hour (2 accounts) - no changes there (was already the case on iOS7.04)
* no dynamic wallpaper - no changes there (was already the case on iOS7.04)
* iCloud > 'Find my iPhone' is turned off, only contacts and agenda are on
* Privacy > Locations' > only a limited amout of apps is turned on which we rarely use during weekdays: Google Maps, Kaarten, Weer
System: only compas calibration is on. - no changes there (was already the case on iOS7.04)
* Reduce motion: off
* Refresh apps in background: completely off - no changes there (was already the case on iOS7.04)
* Siri > off - no changes there (was already the case on iOS7.04)
* Message center > only on for (phone, messages, agenda, facetime and whatsapp) with badges, sounds or bars
* Settings > 'General' > 'Set again' > 'recover all settings' done but doesn't make any difference
I hope iOS7.1 will be the cure for our phones again to have no more battery issues (drain) anymore.

How can I add my icloud contacts and calendar back to my iphone?

As of last week, my iCloud contacts and calendar disappeared from my iPhone 4S. I was trying to do something with adding Outlook to my PC to access calendars for my children's school, and now I cannot get my iCloud contacts as a group (tried turning setting off then back on in Settings) and my iCloud calendar doesn't show up (tried turning this off then back on in Settings also - won't add it back) on my iPhone (iCloud account is intact on PC). It's as if iCloud isn't even an option any longer. PLEASE HELP!!

Hello sstoller,
It sounds like you now have no iCloud Contacts or Calendar information on your iPhone.
There are articles for each I'd recommend checking out.
Get help using iCloud Contacts
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
They both have troubleshooting sections to step through.

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.

Many contacts and calendar events have disappeared

Many of my contacts and calendar events have suddenly disappeared. Can they be retrieved?

Mine too. I have a J Home and J Work calendar. The J Home calendar is completely gone and had all my personal events. I checked iCloud and it is gone there. No one has access except me. I opened my calendar on my iphone this afternoon to add an appt for my son. The data was there and basically disappeared in front of my eyes. I didn't touch the calendars menu until everything was gone so it wasn't me. I'm losing my mind right now. Everything is gone...just gone.
I just noticed my wife's shared calendars also no longer appear on my phone or iCloud. Both of her calendars appear on her iCloud and they still say they are shared with me. That's just f****n great. iCloud broke something and I'm the one to suffer. I'll bet anything Apple won't do anything to help as they don't back up iCloud data. I'm sure they do as they are required by law, but they won't admit it. SONOFA!!!!

BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

Contacts and calendar items disappear when exchange server is off

Hi All
I've been having this problem for a few weeks now and it's most frustrating. My iphone is setup to sync over the air to our corporate exchange server. It seems that when the server is down for repair/patching ALL my contacts and calendar items disappear from my iphone. This doesn't seem to happen if the phone is out of signal?
I know that I can sync directly with Outlook, however this would then mean that the phone is only updated when synced with my laptop at work. If I sync both over the air AND with Outlook, I get duplicates of everything in my calendar.
I'm not restoring my iphone to factory defaults to get rid of the duplicates and go back to over the air sync only.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get calendar and contacts to work "offline" when the exchange server is down?
Main PC is running Windows 7 and exchange is 2007. This problem is only recent, I think in the last month of two. Nothing has changed other than the last few firmware updates from Apple.

hi, cheers for the info. That would make sense, however how come when I'm out of signal and not connected to wifi, the data doesn't also disappear as that too would render the server "unavailable".
Is there a way to make the iphone keep a copy of the data much the same as "offline mode" in Outlook where you can still browse your email, calendar and contacts when the server is offline, and it picks up where it left off when the server is available again?
I appreciate this may not be a "problem" as such, but is frustrating as all my contacts and calendar live in Outlook and I can't function without them

Contacts and Calendar have disappeared from iPhone

All my contacts and calendar entries have totally disappeared from my iPhone on 20.5.09. My free trial of MobileMe was due to end on 20.5.09, so on 17.5.09 I cancelled my subscription (didn't really use it). The only backup of my contacts/calendar was on MobileMe. Is it just a coincidence that my information has disappeared on the same day as my subscription ran out?!

My contacts and calendar content have disappeared. How do I get them back?

My contacts and calendar content has completely disappeared from my phone, but it is all still on my MacBook. Any ideas on how to get them back to my phone? I'm thinking something went wrong with my iCloud.

It's hard to say what would cause that but I doubt you are doing anything wrong. They only way you could intentionally make you contacts or calendars disappear is if you either turn off iCloud syinc for contacts and calendars in Settings>iCloud or signed out of your account.
If it continues to happen, you might want to completely sign out of your account, then sign back in. To do this, you would want to start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in.

All of my contacts and calendar information has disappeared. How do I get it back?

All of my contacts and calendar information has disappeared. This is not the first time this has happened, and when it happened in the past I just turned on my contacts in the iCloud in "settings." This didn't work this time and I was curious if anyone can help me restore the missing info. and/or tell me why they randomly disappear every now and then.
