ICal erased all my iPhone created events!!

When I synced my iPhone with iCal it deleted all my events from my phone. Everything from my Mac is still there, but anything I had put in by hand on the phone is now gone. any ideas what's going on?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only restore them from a backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

I accidently erased all of my calendar events. Is there a way to undo or retrieve them? Is there a way to disable this option so I don't do this again?

No u don't think so but what model phone do you have? Smartphones you can sync calendar events online but not basic phones that I know of

Accidentally hit the "erase all" option, iphone will not start - HELP!

I accidentally hit erase all option IN MY IPHONE, as a result, every time I turn my iphone on, first there's a yellow screen and then it starts performing a self test (similar to DOS systems), and at the end of this test it says "ApplSerialMultiplexer: mux-ad(byp)::dormancySetIntervalGated: Setting dormancy interval to 5000 ms with mask 0x1700", stops and reboots itself and then it starts over. I need HELP!

IPhone created events in iCal

When I create new appointments on my iPhone and then sync it with iCal, the appointments all show up in iCal as 1 hour later than I created them on my iPhone!
Please help I've missed several appointments because of this.
Anyone know why this is happening?
My time zone on my iMac and iPhone are both set to USA-Central Time.
Anyone?

I think I just figured it out.
In the iphone, settings, general and then date and time there is a seting for calendar I had to change that time zone event though the time otherwise was correct, and that solved the prob.

Ical erased all events

My small office got into work today to find that all of our Mobile Me calendar events had been erased, and a new calendar called 'Calendarq' was created. Any help on recovering? No one used Time Machine.

Just found all of the events in my outlook, but iCal will not let me import them, even after exporting from outlook. any ideas?

I've erased all my iphone 4s's data via icloud and now I am unable to reactivate my phone

Recently I had a new screen fitted onto my iPhone 4S. After having it fitted, my phone has not regained satellite. After looking on forums, I found I needed to reset my phone and remove iOS 7, but first, I had to sign out of Find My Phone. I did this by erasing the phone off iCloud which brings me to my next issue:
My phone now says "Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes."
I've tried both and neither work, I don't know what else to do!
Any suggestions?? Thanks.

There are four primary causes of the activation error:
The activation server is unavailable. Rare, but it happens. Usually fixed within minutes.
Your antivirus or firewall (or your router's firewall) is blocking access to the domain gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
Your phone is jailbroken.
Your phone isn't jailbroken, but the computer you are connected to during the restore or update was used to hack or jailbreak some other iOS device, and its network database was corrupted in the process.
Perhaps this will provide you some clues as to how to proceed. If your iPhone has not been jailbroken, Apple has some troubleshooting suggestions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424
If your iPhone has been jailbroken, you're on your own. We can provide no assistance for jailbroken devices in these forums.

ICal denys all of exchange calender events. How do I prevent declining??

Every time I open ical and it syncs with my exchange server from work it declines every appointment I receive. When I first installed it declined every appointment from my hire date!! I like ical but will have to remove my exchange calender if a fix is not there. Help!!

Could it be the parentheses themselves? My Macbook came loaded with Yosemite so I'm not sure if my calendar is the same as yours, but that was the first thing that occurred to me. Perhaps the system is reading the time differently because its enclosed in parentheses.
My problem is a bit different, but also involves times. When I add a new event to the calendar, it puts in a time whether I want one or not. I can't find anywhere to change that option, but then this is my first Mac so I'm pretty clueless in general. Hopefully we can both find something that helps. In my case, classes would probably be the best plan.

ICal erases all my appointments more than 3 months old.

Ho w can i fix this? I do not have the delete feature in ical on.
Wow, thanks for the quick responses! Unfortunately in my iCal preferences non of my "delete" boxes are ticked :-(

ginakins,
Check iCal>Preferences...>Advanced>Uncheck "Delete events xx days after they have passed."

How can I erase all phantom iCal data from my iPhone/Flat Panel Mac?

Tried many ideas and Apple Genius could not even help me. Here is the scoop...
I created an iCloud account then synched my iPhone to my Flat Panel. Suddenly my iPhone showed up to six duplicates of iCal events (often a week or two later than the actual event). My Flat Panel iCal showed no such events. I erased all data and settings from the iPhone, restarted it from scratch (both from a back-up and as a new iPhone). As soon as I synch it to the Flat Panel the multiple events reappear on the iPhone but still not on the Flat Panel. I checked the "replace all calendar info" box in iTunes before synching. I deleted my iCloud account. I tried synching my old 1st gen iPod to teh Flat Panel, and the iCal info there is correct. I erased the iPhone and started over by starting it up/synching with my Macbook Air. The iCal info is now correct on my iPhone. How can I go back to synching on my Flat Panel? Where is the phantom info hiding on the Flat Panel?
Thanks for helping me with this strange problem!
John

Ohnj,
I presume that you are no longer trying to use iCloud for syncing with the "Flat Panel." It will not work since you are using OS X 10.5.8.
Quit iCal, go to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder and remove any/all files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Then log out/in or restart and see what happens.

TS3999 I see all of my calendar events in iCal and on my iPhone, but not in the iCloud web app. Any ideas why?

I see all of my calendar events in iCal and on my iPhone, but not in the iCloud web app. Any ideas why?

If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)?
--- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal. Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once? If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
To avoid this issue in the future:
Keep regular backups. They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
Hope that information helps.
