ICal events "just disappear" on my mac, but are visible on MobleMe & iPhone

I have multiple iCal calendars, that are working fine, then just disappear from calendar view. The account is still set up, no errors, just missing. Everything is on MobileMe, my iPhone & iPad, just not my iMac. 2 hrs on the help chat with Apple & they had no idea what was happening & no solution. Anyone else having this problem???

Same problem here for the first time today. One calendar disappeared from my Mac and iPad. It was still there on MobileMe and on the iPhone. I just fiddled around with the visibility of the calendars and they reappeared on the Mac after a while. On the iPad I did the same and it came back too a little later. Actually, I don't know if what I did was of any use and if it would have fixed itself with just a little patience.
But what I do know (since I realized how the new system worked) is that I can't trust it... I'm doing twice weekly backups of all my calendars. I read (in the knowledge base if I remember correctly) that backups must now be done as exports of each calendar and not as an iCal archive. The master data is now all on MobileMe so Time Machine is useless unless you have these export files saved on your Mac. FWIW.

I have lost my harddrive which contains a vast amount of music I've been collecting for many years. I just purchased a new Mac, but I've reached my activation limit. And I only have access to 2 of the 5 activated computers. My old music can still be played on my iPod, but I need to set up another account on my new Mac. What will happen to my music if I were to deactivate all of activated computers?

Authorization determines to which computers material requiring authorization can be transferrred using the itunes interface. If you want to re-download past purchases then a computer need to be authorized.
As for transferring music from the iPod, your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.

For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

I'm having trouble with a sync alert. It's not clear to me if the default sync for calendar is my iphone (3G) or my mac (shows 82 modifications). I want it to default to the mac but the wording suggests the iphone. Anybody know the default device and if it can be and if the other can be selected if desired
Also, I don't see any way to do the sync on an individual entry basis for calendar. Looks like it will only do all of them at once. I'd like to go through them one by one to confirm which entry is correct.
Thanks

Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

I updated to ios 7 2 days ago and I synced with my computer for the first time yesterday. Most of my calendar appts and events were wiped off my phone but are still on the computer. I use outlook 2010 and a pc running windows 7.

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 7 two days ago and I synced with my computer for the first time yesterday. Most of my calendar appointments and events were wiped off my phone but are still on the computer. I use outlook 2010 and a pc running windows 7. Rebooting the phone and the computer failed to remedy the calendar sync problem.

Easy solution for restoring lost calendar informaiton, thank goodness. On your iPhone, go to settings, then to iCloud. If your Calendar selection is turned off, turn it on. Your info should restore. If your Calendar selection is turned on, then turn it off. Choose to save calendars when asked. After it shuts the Calendar off, turn it back on. Your info should be restored.
Thank you to Apple support for walking me through this. Shame on you Apple for not just telling people about this easy fix rather than making us go through all of this pain and worry.

Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

Use the "Troubleshooting iOS devices" link in iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

Pictures I've taken are visible on my iPhone but not my camera roll. has happened twice.

Pictures I've taken are visible on my iPhone but not my camera roll. This has happened twice. On a set of pictures taken 11/2/13 and today 11/5/13. Is there a solution for this. This is unacceptable. Now it's not showing any new pictures taken at all.

I'm with you. It doesn't make any sense to me either. However, when I view my pictures as a collection and select it - nothing is there. It is a clear picture.
The problem is that what you originally said, "Pictures I've taken are visible on my iPhone but not my camera roll" , has nothing to do with your actual problem.
Define "clear picture". Do you mean blank image? Are you saying there are no pictures to view, only blank screen where the picture should be?
If so, restore the iOS in iTunes:

ICal event times changed when my mac updated time to daylight saving time

When my mac updated its time automatically to daylight saving time, the timed events in iCal all had an hour added to them. Time zone support is off in iCal. I tried changing my time zone from the system preferences (just to see what happens) and the iCal times also change. Is there any way to turn off this ridiculous and useless (to me) feature? I travel quite a bit and all iCal events are always added in local time scheduling. So there is no need for the event times to change when I change time zone!
Thanks!

I am having the same problem but it's only some of the appointments that were changed. I think some were entered after the update and perhaps those weren't changed. Very confusing.

Ok, so my iphone lost all of its data, but right before it did, it backed up on the icloud. i tried to restore using my mac, but it said that my iphone hadnt backed up, even though it had. my iphone says it backed up, my mac doesnt. please help

ok, so my iphone was factory reset, but it backed up right before it lost its data. i tried to restore using my mac, but my mac says that it hadnt backed up, even though it definately did. please help. i have an iphone 5c by the way. thanks

you can try to download your icloud backups to computer, such as Tenorshare iPhone data recovery. this tool have 3 way to find back iphone data .
1, directly recover data fom iPhone (your devices have been factory reset, this way no useful)
2, extract data from your iTunes backup (if you sync your iphone 5c to iTunes before)
3, download iCloud backup files to computer. (use your Appple ID and load your data to computer)
just try it~~ good luck for you!

After iTunes/Yosemite updates, custom ringtones no longer available in Contacts on Mac but are on iPhone

After updating to Yosemite, my custom ringtones are no longer associated with particular contacts on my Mac. They seem to be in the right place in iTunes (ver. 12, updated at same time), and are still assigned to contacts on my iPhone (OS 8.1)--I haven't synched contacts, but I can't figure out how to get them re-assigned to specific contacts on the computer. when they're not there to be selected. These are a combination of purchased and GarageBand ringtones, and have been in use for years. Here's what I've tried:
In iTunes > Tones: Deselecting the ringtones, syncing (connected to mac). Then re-selcting and synching again. Ringtones are still visible on the iphone in Sounds, and in iTunes, but not available from within Contacts on the Mac.
Still in iTunes, used Get Info to identify where in Finder Tones are kept, which for me is: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Tones/. Copied all of them, moved the originals to the trash. (Did not empty.) Restarted. Didn't make a difference. I put everything back.
I have had this problem once before with an OS upgrade or new iPhone, I'm not sure which, but the de-selecting/selecting had worked. Not this time, however. My mistake may have been to update to Yosemite before updating my phone to OS8.1, but that's the way it was presented to me, and I didn't realize it would matter. My preference is to sync my contacts. But this became de-selected during the update. (Other prefs changed, also, for example--I prefer local backup, and it defaulted to iCloud.)

regarding the ringtones, i was able to set custom ringtones myself, but ever since i did that i get errors when synching my phone in the form that some app's dont work, have any of you had this problem?
