HELP!!! All my events, to dos, calendars are gone!

don't know what happened. Just opened up ical and the default ical opened up home and work calendars only....no events, no to do's, NOTHING. My life has vanished in front of me!
Any advise...I'm desparate

I have also just experienced this problem two days ago. My wife and I publish perhaps 40 calandars between us with several thousand work and social events entered and they just all disappeared suddenly leaving me with "have a nice default work/home".
The two things that I think may have caused it are the time I hit the power off button to try to resolve vmWare's Windows XP emulator hanging (iCal was open at the time) (http://www.apple.com/business/mac_pc/applications.html), and my use of "iPhoto Buddy" (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/imaging_3d/iphotobuddy.html) which seems to swap whole iLife profiles in and out.
I've seen solutions to this problem that involve trashing various iCal /Library/ entries. These solutions presume I'm backed up to iMac and everything auto-reloads out of "synch services". I am backed up to box.net for free instead (http://systemsboy.blogspot.com/2006/06/publish-ical-calendars-on-internet-for.ht ml), so I didn't really loose anything. It's just a giant 2-hour pain to by-hand download it and hook it all back up again.
All of my iCal content seems to still be stored in the library, but the links to it have all been thrashed. I could fix it in five minutes if the plists were stored in plain English xml, but iCal has hashed them all with some seemingly random codes. Thanks heaps, Mr. Apple developer. What's the point of using XML if you're going to hash it back out of unicode/ascii like that?
What we need here is a simple terminal command to rebuild the link tables. Does anybody know if such a thing exists? I've got /Developer installed and I am not afraid to use it.

Welcome to the Apple Community Diane.
I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll.

After downloading the new operating system to my 3GS, all the events in my calender are doubled!! HELP PLEASE!

Outlook not showing all-day events in shared calendars

One of my users cannot see all-day events on shared calendars if those events are marked as "free" (as in the person is not busy or out of the office.) We use these events for a time-off calendar, and being on our help desk she needs to know when
people are not in the office.
We just replaced her computer and this was not an issue on the old computer, just the new one. Everyone else can see these events, the issue is just her on this specific computer. She can see all-day events on her own calendar, she can see all-day events
on shared calendars if the event is not marked as "free", and she can see any event on a shared calendars where the event is not all-day (including "free" events.) The problem is only with all-day "free" events that are on a shared
calendar, and the issue is only present on one computer.
We have tried uninstalling and re-installing Office, we have tried resetting her views in the calendar view, we have tried just about every option that we can find within Outlook with no avail.
Any idea?

Hi,
I noticed that the issue only happens to specific user with specific computer. Please do the following checking to narrow down the issue:
1. please update the Outlook client with the latest patches and service packs.
2. disable using Exchange cached mode and check whether the issue happens in Online mode in this computer.
3. Start
Outlook in safe mode to have a try.
4. Perform a clean boot
in your Windows for the new machine.

On the computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if a backup is listed. If no backup then unless you backet up to iCloud then, as I said my first reply:
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them (photos only) from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

When I upgraded iphone to ios 5 and all of my pics and videos are gone. I remember doing this through iTunes. Can anyone help me please?

When I upgraded iphone to ios 5 and all of my pics and videos are gone. I remember doing the upgrade through iTunes. I've looked in iPhoto and iTunes. Does anyone have any sugesstions of how I can get my pictures back?

For some reason, did you fail to use the iPhone as intended? Meaning copying the pictures and videos off the device regularly so that in the event the device is lost/stolen or simply fails, copies would exist on your computer?
You can try restoring from the backup created prior to the update, but it is strongly recommended that pictures/videos be copied off the device on a regular basis. Then any pics/vids that the user desires to keep on the device can be synced back via iTunes.

When I opened iphoto this morning all my photos since April 2013 are gone. My desktop picture is still current but I can't find my pictures.

When I opened iphoto this morning all my photos since April 2013 are gone. My desktop picture is still current but I can't find my pictures.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library. Select the checkbox to include orphaned photos.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

THANK YOU !!

go don't connect your ipod until you go into itunes
and make sure to set it up to where it won't
automatically sync up the ipod with your itunes
library, as it WILL delete your music
if you want to transfer that music back onto your
system, go to google, do a search for "need to
transfer music from my ipod to my computer"
but how do i go into itunes and set it to where it wont automatically sync my ipod eith my library

Just logged on, all of my songs and playlists are gone

Hi, Just logged onto my account through the browser and all of my songs and playlists are gone. Even further, there's a recently played artists who I definitely did not listen to. Assuming that someone hacked my account, I changed my password. But when I looked in "Recover Playlists" there were none of my missing playlists to recover. What is happening to my account? I pay for this application. I had a dozen playlists and thousands of songs that took months to put together. Please help me recover my missing playlists and songs! Thanks,Phoenix

After the i-cloud server issue yesterday, November 26, 2012, my i-cloud mail account on my Macbook Pro stopped receiving mail. I changed some mail account settings to fix the issue, and was able to start receiving e-mails. However, all of my historical e-mails are gone. How do I retrieve all of my old e-mails from the server?

What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?

Long story short....I restored my computer to an earlier point using time machine and now all of the previous back-ups are gone. My question has to do with itunes...is it possible to restore my itunes library to the most recent backup because the restore that I did was in march and the latest backup was in may....the reason being is that there were app that i had downloaded that are in my most recent back-up, that were not in the backup I restored to. Is it possible to just restore one application ie)itunes?

After you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Your apps should be in your iTunes library, just sync them back to your phone. If for some reason your apps are not in your library, you can re-download them for free:
