Ical deleted all my past events

I am using iMac, iPhone4s, iPad, iPod - yesterday, all of my past events on iCal, across all devices, were deleted. I am not currently using Time Machine on my iMac, and I need to get these events back - I use them at the end of each month for billing purposes. I did not alter my syncing options on any device or on iCloud -- the events have been there since I started using iCloud, now suddenly, they are all gone (everything prior to yesterday's date). Any help in recovering these items would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time!

About your only option would be to try to recover it from your iCloud backup.  There's a user tip here on how to recover contacts from an iCloud backup: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.  Just substitute calendar for contacts and the process would be the same.  The key for this being successful is to disconnect your router from the internet (step 4), allowing you to turn off calendar syncing with iCloud and keep the calendar on your iPhone before it is overwritten by the iCloud calendar. 
If you have any other calendars on your Mac be sure to back them up before trying this using File>Export>Export.

  • Ios 7 calendar list view only go back 12 months, how can I sync all my past events

    My iphone 5  ios 7 calendar only shows events for past 12 months (ios 6 could show events from the beginning, about 6 years).  I uninstalled and reinstalled itune and related Apple program, also disable add ons in outlook 2007, where calendar and contacts stored.  Now the calendar shows all my past events after I reset sync history in itune but calendar list still only shows past 12 months.  Even the search won't bring any thing that is older than 12 months.
    I really really miss my old calendar, so frustrated with ios7, can anyone help me? Did I do anything wrong or missed anything?

    In my calendar viewing in a list, I can see days back and forth.
    View a list of events.  In month view, tap to see a day’s events. In day view, tap .
    Sorry, the icons are missing above, see this help link:

  • Deleting all contacts, calendar events

    Hi all, is it possible to delete all contacts and calendar events easily from iPhone? I know there is an option to delete all contacts and settings but I would like to keep some apps that I have installed.
    Thanks

    Sorry, this can't be done at present; you have to do it individually, unless, as you say, you use the "erase all content and settings" feature.

    iTunes content you purchase is tied to the Apple ID used to download it. You cannot update from a different Apple ID. Also, these are public forums and Apple isn't here, so you posted your password for all the world to see. I'll ask the moderators to remove it.

  • ICal deleted all my events before a certain date on it's own

    I couldn't tell you when this happened, but just noticed it today. I went back to check on a prior event detail in my iCal and realized EVERYTHING from all calendars before October 11th has been deleted completely. Is there anyway I can get this info back?... kinda need it for tax purposes..
    I do have a time machine backup of the whole computer, but assume I'd lose my new events since that backup if I reverted.
    THANK YOU

    I am getting more confident that the problem has something to do with a background synchronization process. If I launch either Entourage or iSync, iCal launches also automatically. Perhaps there is a sync preference somewhere that got fouled up?
    Can anyone verify that launching Entourage or iSync also triggers iCal to launch on its own?

  • After updating to iCloud and setting up iCal sync the program deleted all my Outlook events and cleared them from my office's server. How do I now sync my still existing iCal events back to Outlook for syncing with my office.

    How can I get my Outlook information that was moved to iCal back onto my Outlook calendar for syncing with my office's exchange service?

    Problem solved I think. I exported my iCloud Calendar file in Outlook to Google Calendar which in turned re-populated my Outlook default calendar. This was picked up by the exchange and sent to all computers in the office.
    I had hoped that iCloud, and its calendaring abilities, would remove my need for Google calendar to serve as an exchange between my iPad, iPhone and Outlook on PC (and with it connection to my staff). However, it seems that iCloud is simply not to that point yet. Hopefully Apple will begin to implement some of the processes Google Sync utilizies, specifically the ability for Sync to keep a PC running Outlook and an Android based phone in near-real-time sync. It seems that as of yet Apple has not considered the cross-platform issues of the iPhone being in wide-use in business/commercial settings with PCs running Outlook (and said PC being networked to staff, coworkers, etc...).

  • Ical deleted all personal calendars

  • My iphoto just deleted all of its events, contents, absolutely everything... what do i do?

    It came up with something saying iphoto had detected inconsistensies, and closed my iphoto and reopened it and when it reopened everything had disappeared

    What version of iPhoto?
    Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • ISync wants to delete past events

    Hi,
    My p900 (Symbian) phone has deleted all past events in it's calendar. Now when I try to sync using iSync, the app wants to delete all the past events in iCal to make the device match!
    I really want to keep my events. Is there a way of giving getting iSnyc to resore my phone with the iCal data or to just stop it trying to delete all my past events?
    Thanks

    Choose Reset Device from the Devices menu to make iSync send all data from your Mac to the phone again.

  • Delete a calendar without deleting past events? (iCal 5.0.3)

    Hi,
    Is there a way I can delete one of my calendars on iCal without losing all the past events? Right now, if I just delte it I get a warning that all event in that sequence will be gone.
    Thank you

    Actually, I've figured it out. In order not to lose the past events in a calendar I can export the whole calendar. Delete it, then Import it into a calendar that I don't want to delete. This way all the past events will remain.

  • How do I delete all my calendars in iCloud?

    I have literally a few hundred calendars that got generated from the MobileMe days due to syncing issues and other MobileMe problems.   When I migrated to iCloud I had hoped there would be a way to start fresh and get rid of all my calendars but that was not the case.
    So I would like to literally blow away ALL of my calendars and start fresh.  I realize I could delete them one at a time but that will take several hours to accomplish since deleting the calendar has to delete all the past and future events.
    Is there a way to delete all my calendars in iCloud?
    Thanks!
    Ernie

    Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account, open your contacts, click on a single contact, press control-A to select all contacts, press the Delete key on your keyboard.  Do this for all groups to be sure you get them all.  Note: if any of your devices are signed into this account with contact syncing set to on, this will also delete the contacts from your devices.

  • How do I restore past events to my iPad calendar?

    I use the calendar on my IPad a lot, but when I went to look at an event from 6 weeks ago, I realized all my events except the recurring events from more than 30 days ago were missing.  I found online that I should change my "sync" under settings->calendars to something more than 'the last month', which I did.  I changed it first to 'all events', waited about 30 minutes, and when my past events still didn't show up I tried again with '6 months'.  Still none of my past events are showing.  I don't use calendars on any other devices (Mac or phone).  Any other suggestions on how to restore my events?
    Thanks!

    Are all your past events present when you sign in to iCloud.com  with a web browser on your computer?
    If so, try this:
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > In the Calendars section tap Sync > All Events
    Then
    Settings > iCloud > toggle off Calendars, delete from phone. Wait for it to finish then turn it back on
