ICal calendar data disappeared taking with it Entourage calendar and Mobile

I installed Snow Leopard on Friday on two Macs which are both registered on Mobile Me. My iPhone is also synched via Mobile Me. Just looking at my calendar in Entourage today(Monday) the events started disappearing. I opened iCal and the calendars were blank. I then went to Mobile Me and the calendar was there for about thirty seconds before it disappeared. Lastly, I booted my MacBook and the iCal calendars were empty as well as my iPhone. I tried to drag Calendar cache to the desktop and restarted iCal, but still empty. I have no archive calendar. The address book is fine and intact. First question - what happened? and Secondly, is there an archive available on Mobile Me that I can retrieve? Is this Snow Leopard related? I live by that calendar, so I need to get it back. Any suggestions?

Hi Darryl
I'm presuming you don't have Time Machine turned on, so you can't go back to find your previous calendar. If you don't, sadly I can't think of a way of retrieving it.
If you still have your address book my advice is to back that up straight away. (File, Export, Address Book Archive).
This is something that's happened to me before (prior to Snow Leopard). Mine began when I started getting double events in Entourage, when I decided in desperation after playing around with various options to delete the Entourage calendar in iCal, I did something to completely confuse the two systems and I could not get Entourage to re-recognise iCal. I read somewhere other threads that what I had to do was to turn off the synchronisation between Exchange and iCal for several cycles (several days) then reset it to sync again and be patient. I eventually got it back but remain paranoid and regularly take a back up of iCal (File, Export, iCal Archive). I haven't found a way to completely avoid the synching problems that happen from time to time like double events and not always synching. So I just back up regularly, take screenshots of calendars as well, and regularly check, turn synchronisation on and off while making decisions to override either Entourage or iCal when I turn it back on, and occasionally manually correct info. For me the problem is definitely tied up with the link to Entourage - if I turn of that synchronisation with iCal, then MobileMe works flawlessly. But i need the Entourage exchange calendar to be synchronised for work, so have to live with the flaws.

All calendar data disappeared and no TC backup calendar folder.

All calendar data disappeared from two iphone5's, ipad 2, iMac and a PC simultaneously. Apple folks are stumped. Went to Time Capsule to look for calendar backups. All iMac backups are there, but no calendar folder. And suggestions or thoughts?

Turned out that Apple tech support folks were the only solution possible. Tried to restore calendar via TC, but calendar folder not visible and not instruction how to make it so. New OS has made that folder not readily visible to the average, but tech support came up with a work around that is far too complicated to explain here. Just give them a call. Marvelous folks, and they live and work in the US of A!

Problems with iPhone Entourage calendar sync

My iPhone and Entourage have been syncing fine, but recently every time I sync them, the iPhone calendar is wiped clean - no events, even thought they're all still in Entourage. Occasionally, if I reset sync history in iSync and turn off and then turn on sync settings in Entourage, it works. But I need to work out how to make it work every time. Any tips? PS contacts sync fine.

Do you know if your solution will also work to eliminate duplicate Entourage calendars in Itunes and on the Iphone? Every time a change is made in Entourage Preferences Sync Services, a new Entourage calendar is added in Itunes, Ical and, consequently, on the Iphone, after a sync is performed. All but one of the Entourage calendars is empty and serve no purpose just being listed. I initially tried deleting the calendars in ICal and ended up wiping my Entourage calendar clean. Fortunately, I'm transitioning from a Palm T/X and have all my data up to date there, so I was able to restore my Entourage calendar. I only have 1 Entourage calendar showing in Entourage, but now have 4 Entourage calendars showing up in Ical, Itunes and on my phone. I'd LOVE to get rid of the empty ones!
Thanks in advance,
Phyl

My Outlook calendar won't sync with my ipod touch and vice versa. Wherever I input the info is where it stays. Contacts and notes sync but not calendar.

My iPod Calendar won't sync with my Outlook Calendar and vice versa. Wherever I input the information is where it stays. My contacts and notes sync just fine. Please help. Very frustrated. It used to work just fine. I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2 version.

I have the same problem since I updated to iTunes 10.2 Sue (I think). For me this was somewhere in January.
I wasn't sure iTunes was the issue, until I read your post. I tested syncing a note, and that works fine.
My 2nd generation Ipod Touch runs on IOS 4.2.1. It won't upgrade to 4.3.
Possibly the synchonisation between iTunes 10.2 and IOS 4.2.1 doesn't work correctly.
Has somebody else solved this isue? I use both calendars (on iPod Touch and on PC) for work and private matters.
Otherwise I have to uninstall iTunes 10.2 and downgrade to 10.2.

I recommend reaching out to Citrix via their support system -

The receiver app has a specific list of servers it's compatible with, if the server is not on the list the app won't work in OS X.

Calendar data disappeared, not resynching with Gmail calendar - help!

All my calendar data just disappeared. I tried resynching with Google Calendar but the only entry to reappear was one I made a few minutes ago. Resynching does not work. The data is still visible in my Google Calendar on my desktop PC. How can I restore it to my iPhone?

Kevin,
Open "Settings" on the iPhone>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks>Accounts>your MobileMe account and turn off the Calendar, when prompted delete data, wait two minutes turn Calendar back on, and when asked merge the data. Wait patiently, and hopefully you will be able to regain sync functions. If you are able, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to make the change
AFAIK, the merge function will incorporate calendars on your iPhone and MobileMe.
If you are not confident with that answer, be sure to try MobileMe Support and select the appropriate country/language, choose "Syncing with MobileMe," select "Troubleshooting MobileMe Sync issues," and then select "Chat Now."

I need help with sync: Entourage calendar to iphone...

I presently have google contacts and calendars synced with the iphone, and I love it. I just got entourage 2004, and I love that too.
I basically want to use google as my backup online
I want to keep the settings as is for the contacts. I imported the contacts from google to address book, which syncs with entourage. I will just import contact from entourage to google, as needed.
I'm stumped with the calendar. I want to input info from entourage, and the iphone and have them sync together. I would like for it to back up to google, but I can live without, as long as the iphone and entourage will update each other.
How to do this without paying out for a service?
if I do have to pay, then what is an inexpensive option
thanks in advance

Events should behave the same way as the contacts--sync them to iCal and then the iPhone will pick them up.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1670
But for more detail, probably best to ask in the Entourage forum here:
http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Entourage/
I don't know if there is a way to sync the Entourage calendar to the Google calendar--ask either on the Entourage forum or somewhere there are specialists in google calendar.

Local calendars group disappeared - problem with saving in the local calendars group

Hello, I have been working with calendars. I wanted to add a new calendar to the iCloud calendars group or to local calendars ("On my iPhone").
I found that when I am switching off the iCloud for calendars, the iCloud calendar group disappears and don't create the local storage ("On my iPhone"). I did exactly the same on the iPhone 4S, and it created the local group. I don't know why it is different on iPhone 5, especially as I was using iOS 7.1 on both.
Has anyone else had this problem before? Do you know how to restore my calendar to the local storage?
Thanks for help.

Solved this:
Turns out that we now require at least "List" permissions for "Everyone" for the root of the partition where the User profiles reside.
This was not the case on our previous images.
Hopes this helps someone else.

IPhone Calendar data nit synching with MobileMe

Since installing Snow Leopard my iPhone Calendar is not syncing with MobileMe. Contacts, bookmarks, and email all synch fine but not my calendar entries. This means the data is missing on my MPB and Power G5. Anyone else experienced this? Any solutions or do we have to wait for Apple to do something?

"Work" calendar shows birthdays along with the "birthday" calendar

I'm having some troubles with birthdays in iCal. I've read most of the other topics about this but none seem to have the same problem.
My problem resides in the "work" calendar. It shows all birthdays I have in my address book. My question is why, and what makes that calendar different from all the others? The problems becomes evident when I activate the "show birthdays calendar" in the pref. pane. Along with the "work" calendar i get duplicates.
What I need to do is to make the "work" calendar" stop showing birthdays in iCal. Can someone please help me with this?

You probably don't need to invoke Einstein, but you probably do need to post in the iPhone forum:

This forum is for questions about the Communities themselves and so is not the most likely place for you to get help with your problem.

How can I ensure my iPhone calendar is in sync with my Google calendar?

I sync my office Lotus notes desktop calendar with Google calendar and generally the two are in sync.
However I find my calendar on the iPhone which I sync with the Google calendar through Exchange (along with mail and contacts) is simply out of sync a lot of the time with old entries duplicates etc.
Is there a way of forcing the iPhone calendar to duplicate the entries in the Google calendar and lose the wrong entries or some other way of entirely purging the iPhone calendar. I have made sure I am only looking at the Google calendar.
Would it be better to open the account as a Gmail account rather than an Exchange one?

Exchange is the right way to do this.
Have you looked at your Google calendar on-line (web based)? I suspect the problem is actually between Lotus Notes and Google. I've never had issues syncing my calendar with Google.
If the calendar looks good on-line, try going into account settings and turning off calendar sync for that account. Go into your calendar to verify the entries are gone, then go back and turn it on.
Are you syncing with any other calendars from any other source? For example, you sync Notes at work with Google. If you sync Outlook at home with Google, and you sync your iPhone over the air with Google, and you ALSO sync your iPhone via USB with Outlook at home, you're potentially going to create and/or see a big mess.
