I keep loosing calendar history, what am I doing wrong

I got my iPad and iPhone around February and have noticed a few times that the calendar history vanishes. At the moment I only have the last two months. Where has the rest gone? Do I need to change something in my settings? Can I get it back?
Help appreciated!

You haven't been syncing with anything?
It might be in the backup. If you have not changed anything significant on the iPad since that sync, and have not synced again since losing the data, try this. If you've added any important documents or other media since taht sync, save them off the iPad before proceeding.
First, without connecting the iPad, go into iTunes Preferences, the Devices tab, and turn off auto-syncing.
Connect your iPad to the computer, in iTunes right click on the iPad under the Devices tab and choose Restore from Backup.
Depending on exactly when the last sync was, you may or may not get you calendars back.
I recommend that you get a Google account and start syncing your calendar with it. You can also sync your contacts if you set the account up as an Exchange account on the iPad. This will help prevent these kind of mistakes, and give's an online way to get to your calendar when the iPad is not available.
hope i helped

I'm trying to install the new version, but each time during the installation, "Error writing to file: C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device/Support/AppleMobileDeviceHelper.resources/Info.plist." Keeps popping up. What am I doing wrong?

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

TS3999 i put a calendar event into my iPhone in my iCloud calendar, but it is not showing up in my Outlook iCloud calendar. what am i doing wrong?

I put a calendar event into my iPhone (using iCloud calendar) but it does not show up in my Outlook iCloud calendar. Any idea what i am doing wrong?

Are you sure that you put the event on your iCloud calendar? You might want to check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar to be sure you have selected the calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default.

I keep losing original files, what am I doing wrong?

I'm running OSX 10.3 on my Powerbook G3. (Classic is still on the computer too) I have a basic problem of not understanding how my documents (or pictures) and alias' are interconnected. Multiple times I have accidentally erased all copies of a file after trashing what I thought was a copy or backup of that file. This has happened when trying to clean up old versions of text files, when trying to organize in iphoto, and even when deleting backup copies of my Quicken files. I've lost all of my edited photos twice, lost the most recent 4 months of my Quicken checkbook. There is a basic Mac concept I'm not getting here, so I keep thinking it is easier for me to go back to using a PC so I dont mess up. Any advice?

Hi needtheanswers
Welcome to discussions.
I am sorry you are losing files by accidentally trashing the wrong ones, but i would like to know more why you have such heavy use of aliases.
I use IPhoto 2 and I don't deal with aliases.
The iPhoto Library in the Pictures folder is exclusively for iPhoto to manage the images that appear in the application. If you interfere with any of the files in there, any files indexed there may be lost.
After importing photos into iPhoto, they reside nestled within folders organised by year.
If you want to make Duplicates of any, choose Export and define the location. eg. Pictures/Backups/Photos, or onto an external drive, it can be anywhere.
If you delete a photo its record remains to keep the library file coherent, but the photo is deleted.
If your edit a photo, iPhoto keeps the original in a Folder called Original ( which is pretty original) and adds the edited photo to the folder.
There is no need to even open the Picture/iPhoto Library, except for curiosity.
It doesn't create alias', but could you tell me in more detail, the sort of things you do with iPhoto, whether to make backup (duplicates) and how these result in aliases.
You can always check if a file is an alias by selecting it, clicking Command + i to open the information window, which will tell you many things about the file including whether it is an alias.
I don't have experience with Quicken.

ICloud Number exports as Excel files looses formulas? What am I doing wrong?

As soon as I download a Numbers file (created or edited on my iPhone) as XLS and open it in Excel 2007 the formulas are gone. Formula fields contain the numeric outcome of what used to be a formula in Numbers? This makes the App quite useless for me ... anyone with a solution?

Thanks for your reply.
The form is fine and no error messages are evident until I attempt to import an xml file into Excel. The schema is very, very basic and no validation has been applied.
I've looked at the form today to investigate what the problem may be and have discovered three issues.
I tried with two different versions of the form to try and work out why one version worked and the other did not. The only obvious difference between them was that one had been Reader Enabled and it was this form that did not work.
The non-enabled form produced this output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <MySite>
- <general>
<FullName>th</FullName>
</general>
</MySite>
The enabled form produced something different.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <xfa:data xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
- <MySite>
- <general>
<FullName>gt</FullName>
</general>
</MySite>
<MySite />
</xfa:data>
Files with this extra line of code would fail to be imported into the Excel file.
Another issue was that the Reader Enabled form had a completely different file path for the embedded schema. In the non-enabled version the path pointed to the correct location on my personal drive. The Reader Enabled version could not find the schema as the path was incorrect and was pointing to a folder on the temporary drive. At no point had I manually amended this path to point to there!
The non-enabled form allowed me to import an xml file whereas the enabled form gave me an error message stating that:
"The document restricts some Acrobat features to allow for extended features in Adobe Reader. To create a copy of the document that is not restricted (and has no extended features in Adobe Reader), click Save a Copy."
Are these expected behaviours or is there something wrong?

This forum is dedicated to Numbers on Mac OS X. So there maybe some people who have Numbers on an iOS device here but they seem to less active. There is a forum for Numbers on iOS you can post in.
The iWork on iOS forum is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iwork_for_ios
I personally do not have iWork on any iOS device but can still ask questions that may help.
1) are the cells with URLs completely empty after opening in iWork on the iOS device?
2) can you show what the spreadsheet on the PC looks like? specifically regarding the URLs?

I have downloaded Adobe Content Viewer to my iPad. When I try to sign in with my Adobe ID, I keep getting Authentication Failed. What am I doing wrong?

I have downloaded and istalled Adobe Content Viewer to my iPad. When I try to sign in with my Adobe ID, I keep getting Authentication Failure, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the quick reply.
Do you have any examples of system extensions or accessibility features that might be the culprit? I have actually never heard of those terms before.

I am trying to download a calendar into ical and keep getting this message-Some of the events in this calendar have alerts that open files or applications. What am I doing wrong???

I am trying to download a calendar into ical and keep getting this message-Some of the events in this calendar have alerts that open files or applications. Remove alerts or cancel
What am I doing wrong or missing??

I have this same problem in October of 2013. I am unable to import .ics files into Lion that I exported from my Snow Leopard MacBookPro without losing all of my future events (which all have alerts attached). All of the events from BEFORE today's date are successfully importing, presumably because they are no longer expected to trigger alerts via Apple Mail. After my first unsuccessful attempt, I learned that iCal was communicating with iCloud by default. I have since turned off iCloud, but I have not found a solution to the problem. Harvey

I'm in cycle mode, and 'merge' is clicked in preferences. However, when I record, my previous track data keeps getting overwritten. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong. Interestingly, I can still see the data in the region.

I keep getting this error in Dreamweaver when I am trying to upload my website? Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? here is the error message: /html - error occurred - Unable to create remote folder /html. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured. File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed. Files with errors: 1 /html

Nobody can tell you anything without knowing exact site and server specs, but I would suspect that naming the folder "html" wasn't the brightest of ideas, since that's usually a default (invisible) folder name existing somewhere on the server and the user not having privileges to overwrite it.

Im trying to convert a PDF into an excel document and I keep getting an error message that reads "An error has occurred while trying to access the service". WHat am I doing wrong?

it seems my subscription had expired so I signed up again.. It was still having trouble so I repeated the sign up process again.. Then it worked perfectly.. Unfortunately, I think I just subscribed twice and need to cancel one of them. Ugh. Such a pain when I'm trying to get this project completed. I'll be canceling at least one of the subscriptions in the morning. Adobe is not my favorite company right now. None of this was intuitive. And trying to get help was an absolute waste of an hour.

I've tried plugging my iPhone in the computer multiple times and it keeps telling me to update iTunes after I already have. What am I doing wrong?

So I just got an iPhone 4s and it won't allow me to sync it on my computer. ITunes keeps telling me to update to at least version 11.1 and I have done that. Even though i've updated it still won't allow me to sync. If someone knows what i'm doing wrong and could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Try reinstalling iTunes no music or apps will be lost.
