ICal Events Gone

For some reason I no longer have events for my School calendar before August. I sync with MobileMe. Is there a way to get these events back? I have Time Machine.

Contact info and iCal events gone missing

A few weeks ago, I entered an Calendar event with an alarm on my iPhone to remind me of a meeting later that day. A while later, I was looking though Calendar and realized this new event was gone, so I re-entered it, made sure it was correct, closed Calendar and re-opened it, double checked and it was still there. An hour later, it had disappeared again.
I use MobileME to sync all my iPhone data. I sync my iMac too, but it was in my office turned off. Since then I realized that a number of events that were entered on my iPhone have gone missing ... but not all of them. Software versions on my iPhone 3G, iMac, et al are all current.
To make matters appear worse, now that I'm paying closer attention to synched data, I realize that some (again not all) Contact information entered on the iPhone is also being lost. Its annoying when its just a special ringtone (I know these can get reset) but its actually harmful when its a new phone number that gets overwritten with the old one and you don't realize it until its gone.
I have turned off all syncing between MobileME and the iMac ... that did NOT fix the problem, plus its a pain in the *. But it does demonstrate that its most likely a problem between MobileME and the iPhone. I've been patient with all the MobileME "teething problems" esp as long as Apple was demonstrating its duty of care to fix things. But now I'm back to paying for my service, and it doesn't seem to work as advertised!!
Any suggestions how I can regain confidence that the information I load into my iPhone will still be there at the end of the day?

I just had the opposite problem. Synced my iPhone 3G to iTunes (current versions) and ALL contacts from my Address Book on my computer disappeared. iCal was OK. I do not sync contacts or calendars wirelessly. Chat help assisted me in restoring an old .Mac copy to my computer, but my confidence in syncing is LOW. Chat help seemed to suspect iTunes or the iPhone. Ironically, dependable contact and calendar syncing was the main reason I bought an iPhone.
Short term I'll be backing up my Address Book (File > Backup) and Calendar right before doing ANY syncing, iPhone or .Mac/MobileMe. I'm a 20 year Win pro who switched to Mac/OSX about 7 years ago, and this has been my first time feeling a little "micro-softy".

ICal Events Gone. Disappeared. Vanished. Erased.

For some reason or another, my events are gone. All of them are gone. What, why, and how can I get them back?
If this happens again, I'm sticking with google calendar.

Well I solved he problem. It took me 3 hours. I deleted ALL iCal files from the system including all the reference files and in all he preference folders in the various users and libraries. Then I found an old copy of all the iCal stuff on a small USB drive (not bootable,not time machine- Carbon Copy Cloner) backup I happen to occasionally make as a spare backup of the system, that wasn't much more than a week old, and I copied ALL the icall files back from that drive,; then rebooted the system, Finally it seemed to recognize these old iCal files as the "new" iCal and I am back in business, I just have to fix and update all the entries by hand. It's fortunate I'm a nut and I actually back up my main system at least 5 different ways! I lost 3 backups at the same time!
Meanwhile here was the quote fromMacprofessionals to fix it:
Good Morning Dr. Spitzer,
There are a few options we can do...
I can have one of the tech's call you, to see if we can resolve this over the phone. Or I can have him go on site to your location. You can also bring in your machine and we can take a look at it here at $105 hour.
If you choose to have a Tech come out to you it is $145 hour time starts when the technician leaves the office and is a minimum of one hour.
For phone support it is also $145 at 15 minute intervals.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed
Thank you
Cristal
So my repair job was worth $450 by their billing - what Apple cost me. And it would have been more if I billed my lost professional time. We need to start posting these equivalent $ values to these glithes so everyone including the companies starts to get a sense of the value of these bugs and errors to the customers. There have been many systems where I have spent 10 times the price of the computer working on glitches to get the system to do what I need it to do.
But there is a klugey gruesome work around for now, until Apple ever decides to think this might really be a problem to be fixed. Or will they call a bug a feature and charge for it?

IPad iCal events gone after upgrade to iCloud

I have an iphone which I upgraded to OS5 and activited iCloud. My wife has an iPad but has been using my apple ID for itunes etc. She keeps her own iCal and has not been synching it to our desktop or anything. I keep my own calendar on my iPhone and it syncs with Outlook at work. After I activated iCloud using my apple ID on her iPad, her Calendar entires are gone and my Calendar entries are now on her iPad. Is there a way to recover her entries/calendar?

Some users have reported that turning off iCloud has restored their calendar events.
Unfortunately if this does not work, your events are likely lost, and can only be recovered from a backup.

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and let it sync with my Macbook and now all my iPhone iCal entries are gone. How can I get my iCal events back on my iPhone?

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and let it sync with my Macbook (running Lion) and now all my iPhone iCal entries are gone. How can I get my iCal events back on my iPhone?

Me too! Help anyone?

ICal ALL Events Gone PLEASE HELP

Hello... Need urgent help! One afternoon I was finishing up work and closed everything as normal... in the morning, ALL the events on iCal were gone... just disappeared. I have a blackberry 8350i and figured there was a mishap between the two so I brought a 12" I also have only to find out that all the events there were gone too; and I never sync the BB with the 12". Both PB's were synched with my iPhone without any problems ever. Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks in advanced.

Hey Ferd,
So you think there is something corrupted in the BB that made the iCal erase the whole 09? One thing is for sure, the data in the BB is intact. All events there seem to be fine and yet it won´t sync with iCal (I use PocketMac because when this BB came out there was no other option to sync with mac). In fact, I've been trying to sync with a PC but I haven't had the time to seat down to spend a whole afternoon trying to figure out Win Vista... so far "I think" I managed to backup the calendar and contacts but not really sure. Still trying to find an app to sync with... maybe that way I can make a backup to use with iCal. Do you know of any other way to sync the BB with another app in either mac or pc to do this???
I have a time machine backup from june 29th which I used this morning. I boot from the Leopard dvd and restore from that date but didn´t remember that the applications were on the exception list. One thing, though, when the restore was finished, iCal displayed the reminder window with a bunch of the events... but since I had no apps i couldn´t say if everything was there. My intention, now that I think of it, is to go back to that backup, find the iCal software somewhere and install it to see what´s in there. If there´s everything, needless to say I´ll just make a backup, save it and restore again to the latest.
I was trying to restore from .ics files but just realize they have to be .icbu... hence the gray.
Right now I'm downloading the Combo Update to see how it goes.

ICal events being deleted when syncing with Palm Zire 21

I have been syncing my Palm Zire 21 with iCal successfully for over a year with few problems. A few weeks ago I noticed that almost, but not all of the events on both the Palm device and iCal more than three months old were gone. Then, a few weeks later, I noticed that the events suddenly were all back in the iCal application, but not on the Palm device.
But this week, I used HotSync (as usual) to sync iCal and the Palm device, and the events were gone again. Now I am wondering what on Earth I am doing to cause this. I have read the articles about setting up to sync. I double-checked to be sure I have been syncing the way that is outlined in the instructions in the help articles.
I must have missed something vital. I have been backing up my iCal to my .Mac account using Backup. I am thinking that I can restore the iCal events using my last backup. Can I? And how do I keep this from happening again?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) "OS10.4.10" "iSync 2.4" "iCal 2.0.5" "Hotsync 3.1"

Found the issue for me. The events are not deleted, but filtered in the standard calendar view. The iPhone shows everything as it should. Outlook 2003 has all the events to as seen when going to categories view.
It seems that once events pass on the iPhone and then a sync via iTunes to Outlook 2003 the "All Day Event" field is removed from the calendar entry.
Creating another Day/Week/Month View in outlook 2003 that has a filter to only include calendar entries where the "All Day Event" field "does not exist" will allow viewing the "hidden" past events.
Hopefully this will be fixed VERY SOON.

Since upgrading to Lion, iCal event invitations are not working well.

Since upgrading to Lion last week, I am having problems with sending iCal event invitations to large groups of people (say 10 people or more). Although my iMac, iPhone, and iPad iCals show that invitations have been sent, only a few of those invited have actually received event invite emails.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any insight into the problem or solution?
Thanks in advance.

Is there absolutely anything else I could do to sort this such as phone Apple Support
If you want.
or maybe install Snow Leopard using the disc it came on with my Mac and just set it up from a Time Machine Backup on my external hard drive (since it works under SL)?
Did you install Lion on an empty partition, or did you upgrade Snow Leopard? If you upgraded, I'd not recommend erasing it, since your backups are apparently gone. It's doubtful Snow Leopard will recognize them.
It's not just backups on the drive either, there are other important things on there, so why won't they show?
Mixing Time Machine backups and other data is not a good idea. See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. It sounds like the whole disk is corrupted.
I just really don't understand how this happened. Could it not be an issue with WD because they haven't issued firmware to support Lion yet?
If this is a simple external HD, connected by USB or FireWire, no, unless you installed some of WD's software on it. That shouldn't prevent it from being seen at all, but anything's possible.

Ical events deleted

I just got my first macbook the other day and hooked up my phone to it. I noticed my ical events were not coming up on the computer and when I looked at the calendar on my phone the events were all gone. I have not had the chance to set up time machine or anything since I had just gotten the computer and did not even have anything on it yet but there's gotta be a way to get the events back, please help! Thanks

I am in the middle of something like this, tho I use Mobile Me. Suddenly, all my calendars were colored blue and many of my events were missing.
Thanks to another post, I found the backup calendars on my TM: my user library > calendars (this is a folder). I don't know whether they moved it there with Leopard or Snow Leopard, but if that folder isn't there, try: user library > application support > ical The other post mentioned using the Sources folder.
Oddly, I'd like to get rid of my old events. Do you know how to do that?

Restoring iCal Events from Time Machine

Hi
I read a few threads that were related to my question, but it was more from moving over files from different versions of the operating software. Here is my dilemma:
Somehow I erased all my iCal events. They were syncing with Entourage. I went into iCal because I had some duplicates and deleted event duplicates, when I did that I somehow deleted all my events. I do have time machine and have a back up of iCal. I restored the program from Time Machine, but the events are not back. I suspect that I need to restore the actual files that must be kept in a database somewhere?
Will someone please tell me how to restore the actual events and where exactly I can find the iCal events data. My plan is that once I restore iCal I will export and import into Entourage.
I really do not want to lose all my events. Thank you in advance for your help!
Brandon

HELP! Please.
I am a new iMac user. For weeks, the system ran perfect. This morning, I tried to synch my iCal with Google Calendar to let others have access to my events. Somehow, after the sync, all events at my iCal suddenly disappeared. Not just that, the list of calendars (private, business, etc.) was gone too. I then tried to synch iCal with all the events stored in my iPhone, but that only lead to my iPhone calendar being completely deleted too. I am totally desparate now. What happened? I then tried to use Time Machine to restore. But in earlier time machine dates, there was no calendar folder which I could use to replace mine. But I could not find a calendar folder there. Thank you for helping. Kind regards from Munich, Germany.

How to restore ical events

i ve deleted caches and all my events gone.how can i get them back to ical?

I'm having the same problem with any program. Time Machine simply defaults, every time, to the Desktop Folder. This is fine, but only really useful for individual files and/or folders. Where's the integrated Restore for Apple programs?

Shouldn't I get a confirmation dialog when I delete an iCal event?

Shouldn't I get a confirmation dialog when I delete an iCal event? When I select an event and hit the delete key, the event is deleted without a confirmation dialog. Aren't we supposed to get a confirmation dialog? I thought I used to get one. This is not good because I sometimes accidentally hit the delete key when working in iCal and the event is gone and I didn't notice that it happened.

Don't know about 10.8, but in 10.6 you don't get one for an ordinary event.

All-day iCal events made on iPhone sync to Mac as one day late.

Had this problem a little while now, can't remember what started it, but it hasn't always been like this. I remember first being aware of it near the end of last year because I wondered if the problem might correct itself once 2011 began.
If I create an all-day event on the iPhone calendar, it will sync to the mac's iCal as being one day later. If I enter an event on my phone that's all day, Saturday the 5th of March, it will show up on my computer as Sunday the 6th.
Events which are not "all-day" are completely unaffected.
Both devices are set to the same time zone, with the iPhone having timezone support on and the mac having timezone support off. I've toyed with trying different combinations of these settings but nothing changes. I have to manually drag the mac iCal events one day earlier once they're synced. This fixes it, because it doesn't appear to then bump the iPhone copy of the event any earlier.
But that's a massive pain and I've lost faith in iCal as a timekeeping device. Anything glaringly obvious that I've missed?

I have this problem too. I have an iPhone 4, and this wasn't a problem when I bought the phone back in December. I think it came a month or so later and I suspect with a standard upgrade of something like itunes, or iphone software... but I can't pinpoint it to any specific update as it took me a while to notice it. For me, it does this with my work calendar which is run through Microsoft Outlook. But it's the exact same thing - and it means my calendar isn't reliable anymore.
I've made sure the time-zone settings are correct, I've updated all software, and gone through all possible settings for both my i-phone and Outlook. Nothing fixes the problem, even our tech guy at work didn't know what to do. I know it's not just my phone as the exact same thing has happened with my boss's iPhone which is an iPhone 3G, and it frustrates him to no end.
I'm really hoping someone at apple can tell us what's going on, especially since it never used to do this and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it. If someone thinks they know what itunes update this was due to, let me know - I'll see if I can go back to that older version.

Recovering lost ical events after accidentally Syncing with Entourage

This question seems to be in reverse to many of the posts I have read. I have always used ical as my calendar, however recently decided to use the Entourage program. When importing the my mail, I accidentally navigated to the sync portion of the import, I read the options and thought that I was going to sync ical to Entourage. It seems I did the reverse, Entourage wiped out my ical events.
Is there a library/system file which can recover the ical evetns?
Also since I am already on this page? all my mail files moved from apple mail to Entourage, but not the inbox of read items. Can these be moved?
Thanks for any help, hopefully I have not lost these items.

If you have made an iTunes or iCloud backup containing the Calendar events you can restore from that otherwise, if you deleted them with no backup, they are gone.

Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?

Hi, Im not a frequent forum poster, as most of my questions can be found already answered on them!
This is a question Ive had for a long time and it amazes me that no-one else seems to ask it. I check at each OS upgrade but its never there...
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
I was able to do this years ago in MS Outlook, and utilized it all the time when I needed to push things back, now I have to open the event and select an new date in the drop-down calendar for each & every event I want to move to a new month at the end of the month.
If its definitely not possible, how to you ask apple to consider including it - it doesnt seem like a particularly difficult task.
Thankyou
Andrew.

Andrew,
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
No, but you can use cut/paste. Cut (⌘X) the event, then click on the week where you want to move the event, and Paste (⌘V).
If you have a suggestion for Apple to change that method use: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback.
