How to I get iCal/iCloud to retain old events?

I've just switched over to icloud. I thought I had it all setup, but when I went to look at an event that occurred last year (to check the date), it was gone! In fact, everthing older than a couple of months is missing.
My life is in that calendar. How can I get my life back?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Did you restore from the old back up.
Were these photos part of your camera roll or photo stream.

  • How do I get iCal to stop defaulting new events to all day?

    Just updated to Lion.   Overall everything is working well.  However, I can't stand some of the things the new iCal is doing.
    By default it is defaulting new events to all-day (Rather than setting a time like it did before).  Is there anyway to change this back?

    This was discussed endlessly right after Lion came out.
    Short answer: I don't think you can change this behavior in month view.
    However: When you type an event, e.g., "Meet with TIm Cook for lunch, 1 pm", iCal is smart enough to set the time (at 1 pm in this example).

  • How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud

    How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud?

    You don't need them stored locally for a backup. You can manually export your contacts as archive for backup. Also, if you are backing up with Time Machine, you already have a backup. If your hard drive crashed, you would have to rely on your backup or iCloud anyway.
    So, if you're comfortable with that, sign out of iCloud. Choose to delete contacts from the computer. When you sign back into iCloud, you should only have iCloud contacts listed in AB. When you open iCal, you should only have one listing for birthdays.
    The other alternative is to disable the Birthday c.alendar and create one manually.

  • How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's Imac?  I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!

    How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's iMac?  I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!  I know his email, but that account has been cancelled for security purposes, so we can't just request a new one.  I tried his security questions to no avail.
    Thanks

    Since that password is tied to his Apple ID, you will need to contact Apple; as far as I know, it will be a somewhat lengthy procedure and you will  need to furnish necessary paperwork (including a death certificate as far as I know). Best to either stop at an Apple store or call them to find out exactly what it is you need to do.

  • How do I get iCal to sync to my iphone 4. It used to work and now it won't. Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

    How do I get iCal on my Mac to sync with my iphone 4.
    It used to work and now it doesn't.
    I am not on MobileMe or the Cloud.
    Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

    Hi Arezzo
    I'm asuming you are using iTunes then to sync? this can be done over WiFi or the USB cable.
    Review your setting for the calendar sync once iTunes is open and your iPhone is connected. Make sure your Calendars are selected to sync that you need. By default all calendars will.
    So the option i have for you is to reset the sync service and this will reset those settings in iTunes. Meaning that you will have to switch them on again in iTunes to sync. But this mostly clears unresolved sync issues.
    Please do yourself a favour and hit backup in iTunes before doing any testing. iTunes will then keep a local backup of your iPhone in case of any data loss.
    {added}
    open Terminal from your Utilities folder and paste this command in to reset. OS X 10.6 - 10.8
    /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full [press Enter]
    if it prompts for a password, just type your password and hit [Enter] again.
    Open iTunes then set your syncs up and it should then carry on again.

    When I set up my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently used wrong email for setting up my apple id.  I have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account.  I cannot delete it either.  How can I get an iCloud account for this phone?

    You said "have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account.  I cannot delete it either. ".
    Why can't you verify it?
    Do you not receive the verification email address?
    If problem contact iTunes by:

  • How do I get separate iCloud accounts for each family members device and still share iTunes?

    how do I get separate iCloud's for each family members iPhone, iPod and iPad and still share iTunes?

    Have everyone share the same iTunes store ID, but use separate IDs for iCloud.  The ID you use for iCloud does not have to be the same as the ID you use for the iTunes & App store.

    I don't have any apple products personally, this is for work to use Photo Stream so when Superintendents & Project Managers take pictures of their construction site, I am able to have those images immediately.
    Thank you

    You can not create an iCloud account using a PC, you will need an Apple product. Once the account exists you can logon to it from a PC.

  • How can i get my icloud restored back to a previous date

    Does anyone know how I can get my icloud restored back to a week ago?  My two separate apple iPhones had their iCloud accounts merged and I got my personal accounts and work accounts merged.  When trying to split them back up again, I deleted all my contacts on icloud and now I can't get them back.  can i get my icloud restored?  I restored my phone, but that didn't work.  Thanks for your help.

    A partition is just a section of the disk set aside for a particular purpose. In this case, we're talking about a Mac partition and a Windows partition. They have different formats, which is how the data is stored. The disks that came with your Mac will create the Mac partition when you install, but most likely you'll lose the Windows partition. You've got kind of a mess at this point. What you should do is install the Mac OS and get everything as you want it. Then run Bootcamp to create a Windows partition and let Bootcamp do the Windows installation for you. Grant gave you good advice earlier. Don't let Windows do any partitioning. That's how you got into this mess.

  • How do I get my iCloud pics from a different phone

    How do I get my iCloud from my iPhone 3GS to my iPhone 4

    I don't know what you mean by "iCoud pics", since you can't archive pics on icloud.  The only thing you can do is have camera roll be part of a backup to icloud.  If that's what you mean, then the only way to get them back is to perform a restore to the device, which means you'll lose anything new since the last backup.  On the other hand if you just want to get pictures from one device to another...
    Sync them to your computer and then sync to the other device.
    Or.. email them to yourself.
    Or copy them to a service like Dropbox and download them to the other device.

  • How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
    If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.
