I just lost my contacts and calendar entries through icloud, how do i get them back?

I read that the space being used up on my iphone can be from having iCloud backups on. So I turned them all off and thought when it said to delete the contacts and calendar eltries it mean the back up being stored on the phone, not the actual contacts and calendar entries. Can anyone help me to restore these items?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It sounds like you are turning off syncing (settings > iCloud) rather than back ups.
Try turning them on again.

joephilipose,
If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:

To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

Hello Rick.
Press ALT or F10 in your keyboard to make the Menu Bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be permanently visible, go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'', or right-click the Navigation Toolbar (the Reload button, for example) and select ''Menu Bar''.
If this doesn't help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select ''Customize...'' and click ''Restore Default Set''. If it doesn't appear right away, try pressing ALT or F10. You can go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'' to make it permanently visible, or right-click the Navigation Toolbar and select ''Menu Bar''.
If none of this helps, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Try disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

Bottom row greyed out and apps moved - why ? How do I get them back to where they belong ?

bottom row greyed out and apps moved - why ? How do I get them back to where they belong ? Have no idea how this happened. At first it seemed the apps - phone, safari, mail - were LOST. But they were moved up with all the others.

Thanks for your response.
However I managed to figure out how to recover - it's just a matter of moving them back to the bottom row 'dock' ! So it's actually very easy. I was 'thrown' by this unexpected development - don't know how it happened - but it's a 'non-issue' now. Hopefully my next post or question - if I have one - will be more 'substantive'!

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

When upgrading my Mac from OS X Snow Leopard, to OS X Mavericks, The installer displayed my parallel and my PC applications. How can i get them back?

You either have to restore the Snow Leopard backup you made prior to installing Mavericks, or create a separate Snow Leopard partition to boot to in order to run your older PowerPC applications.
Either that, or upgrade the apps which won't run in Mavericks to newer versions that do.

Do you have an iCloud back up as well? If so restoring from there may be an option
