ICloud deleted my events

I turned on the switch for iCloud events and my events were deleted. What happened? I do have the dash on my pc but I don't have outlook.  HELP!HI

This also happened to me because I had Norton's Firewall enabled. Once I disabled the firewall, my calendar events reappeared on my imac. If you have a firewall enabled, this might solve your issue. If not, open iCal on your imac, go to preferences, accounts, and see if iCloud is listed. If it is, make sure the enable box is checked. If it isn't, add an iCloud account.

  • Why is iCloud deleting old events in iCal, older than 2 months?

    I'm using an iMac, MacBook & iPhone 4 to sync my calendars with iCloud. Running Lion, everything is up to date w/IOS 5.  I initially set up iCloud to sync everything from my iMac to the cloud so all my old calendar items would be there (from several years past). It also synced to my other devices no problem.  Now I only see 2 prior months worth of events on any of them! Everything before that is gone. I though my iPhone may have been the culprit but my iPhone was set to sync the past 3 months of events so I don't understand why it's only showing the past 2 months.
    What I'd like to do is sync everything one time so it's there, but on future syncs have it only sync the most recent stuff (3 months). I don't want it searching the whole database from 3 years ago to find stuff to sync, just want it to leave that stuff there, on all my devices.  Right now it keeps deleting the old stuff.
    Any ideas what the source of my problem is?
    If it's the iPhone setting to sync only the past 3 months, is there a way to keep old items in the calendar, but only "sync" the latest stuff? Or is my only option to select "sync all events"?
    thanks.

    I think I solved it. My Macbook was set to delete items after 60 days.  Grrrrr....

  • Icloud deleted recurring event and send notifications to everybody. I never used icloud and never deleted this event.

    I never used icloud and never made any changes to my icloud.
    Today icloud sent notifications to 100 people that the event was cancelled. I didnt made any changes. Those 100 people wrote "very good feedback"
    This event was created not in icloud, it was created in Outlook on my work PC, and it was done half a year ago.
    As I understand events from my outlook synced with icloud and iclud somehow made chamges without my permission.
    But the most fummy thing that event is still present in icloud, in Outlook and in my Iphone also.
    Please FIX or explain this, I dodnt want to have a repeat of this bug tomorrow

    Thanks, yeah I called Apple Customer Services and the guy said that the only thing I can do is restore my phone from my latest iTunes backup.
    The screen I got when this debacle happened literally said: "What would you like to do with the previously synched iCloud contacts on your iPhone?" It's so poorly worded, I thought it was just referring to the contacts that were just put on my phone from my computer, hense the "previously synched iCloud contacts" but when I was on the phone with the guy he was saying that I misunderstood the screen.
    I don't think I'm crazy, they could have worded it better and made it more clear they meant ALL contacts deleted, not just the ones synched from iCloud.

  • I was deleting particular events in my iCal but now all of the events in that category have gone from iCloud and all of my devices.  How do I get them back?

    How do I restore events in my iCal and iCloud?  I was deleting particular events that weren't relevant to that week and then all of the events in that category have disappeared.  I want them back.  How do I do this?

  • How do I delete multiple events in Calendar on iPhone or iCloud?

    If I want to delete multiple events in Calendar on iPhone or iCloud, is there any way to do it?
    I don't want to be clicking / tapping for hours...
    Thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, I don't believe that's possible.

  • Icloud deletes events after they occur.  Help

    One of my calendars in icloud deletes events after they occur, but none of the others do.  I don't want them to delete.  I have checked the "Settings" and I am synching all events.  Anyway to get a calendar from deleting entries after they occur?

    Is this calendar somehow connected to some app?  I have several apps that integrate with Calendar having their own calendars.  The app can control the display of events and remove them given a particular situation.

  • How do I delete an event from my calendar?

    I am having trouble deleting events off of my calendar

    Hi,
    I was facing the same problem. In the calendars it will show an indication as from which calendar is it picking it from. For example, if you have synced 2 or more calendars in your iPhone or iPad, you can choose to indicate them through a different color dots that appear next to calendar name if you click on an event. From this you will get to know form where it is picking up the data from. If it is picking from iCloud, the solution is login to iCloud using your computer and delete the event in the iCloud. After doing this go to settings, iCloud. Under iCloud just turn off the calendar option. You will get an option to delete or keep. Select delete. Later turn it on again. Now the event that you deleted from iCloud will go away.

  • How do I delete an event on iPhone calendar with no edit icon

    How do I delete an event on iPhone when no edit icon appears

    Have you tried to open the event and delete it? Tap on the event to open it, then scroll down to delete it.
    You can also try toggling iCloud syncing for the calendar on and off (or off and on), this sometimes makes hte edit button reappear.

  • Why have deleted iCal events suddenly reappeared in my calender?

    Assistance needed please for an iCal issue on Snow Leopard (iMac).
    A bunch of formerly deleted iCal events have suddenly reappeared in iCal. I thought this would be easily resolved by using Time Machine (external HD) to restore the calendar files to when they were workings ok (a couple of days ago). Although this initially appeared to work, all the previously deleted events have suddenly reappeared.
    If I was using iCloud I'd assume it was some kind of syncing issue, but I'm not. Least I can rule that out.

    Cactus,

    When I receive an email request for a meeting, when I open it I get an error message asking if I want to revert to server, try again or ignore. If I choice revert to server it deletes the event, if I choice ignore it accepts it but won't sync with my other devices.

    Interesting suggestion, but it's not clear to me how I would do that if I'm not using an "(at) icloud.com" email address/account. I am having the same problem with changed invitations that come from an organizer who is using Google Apps. My email account is hosted at my ISP - it's not obvious to me how I can use iCloud to access that email account (and therefore the changed invitation). Suggestions?

  • IPhone calendar is deleting my events

    The calendar on my iPhone 4s has been fine so far, then today I added an appointment, went back into calendar to check another date and noticed all previously entered appointments (even future ones) were gone.  The one I entered today is still there as well as a random appointment from March 8th, but all others are missing.  I had a bunch scheduled for today and they are all gone now.  I have my phone set to sync all events and beyond that I don't do anything with the calendar as far as syncing, connecting, or anything else, besides adding new events.  How can I get back my previous appointments (events) that are now missing?

    Hi Tina214,
    The specific steps for troubleshooting Calendar app on your iPhone are list in the article below:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
    If you are having trouble with the Calendar app on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch) and iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
    Make sure you've updated to iOS 5 or later and that your iCloud account is configured correctly in Settings. For instructions on setting up the iOS for iCloud, see iCloud Setup.
    Make sure your iOS device is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com in Safari. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in your Calendar application. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your internet connection.
    Open a secure website from your iOS device to test if you are online as is necessary for iCloud Calendar. This also tests if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Calendar requires port 443 access to iCloud in order to push and pull updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
    If recent changes simply don't appear in Calendar, try forcing a refresh by tapping Calendars in the top-left corner of Calendar to load the Calendars list. Then, tap the Refresh button in the lower-left corner of the Calendars list window.
    If you add new events on your iOS device, but they do not move to iCloud or other devices, you may want to verify your Default Calendar settings. If you would like to create new events in a specific iCloud calendar, then set that calendar to be your Default Calendar. You can modify the Default Calendar settings in iOS at Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Default Calendar.
    Quit and restart the Calendar app on your iOS device:
    Press the Home button.
    Double-press the Home button to open the multitasking menu.
    Tap and hold the Calendar icon until it jiggles.
    Tap the "X" to remove it from the list.
    Press the Home button to get back to your Home screen. Wait a minute before reopening the Calendar app.
    Restart your iOS device by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and then swiping the screen when prompted to Turn Off. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
    Change the Sync settings for your calendars:
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Scroll down to the bottom.
    Tap Calendars > Sync.
    If sync is set to All Events, set it to a specific duration, such as Events 1 Month Back. If it's set to a specific duration, set to All Events.
    Wait several minutes and try Refreshing Calendar again.
    Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
    Tap Settings > iCloud.
    Tap the Calendar slider off. Choose to delete data only if your data exists at icloud.com/calendar and/or one or more of your computers. Otherwise choose Keep Data.
    Wait a few minutes before turning the Calendar slider back on.
    Hopefully, these steps will resolve your issue ...

  • In Calendar, deleting one event in a recurring event deletes everything...

    When I delete one event in a recurring event, calendar deletes the entire event, both past and future. I am clicking the option "delete only this event," and the rest of the recurring event doesn't disappear on my iphone 4 (linked through iCloud). The strange thing is that the rest of the recurring event comes back after leaving the calendar alone for a day or two. Is it a problem with calendar or iCloud? Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Personal opinion, the issue may be related to Calendar updating in another user side who has permission to this shared calendar.
    To narrow down the issue, please do the following changes:
    1. Confirm if the shared calendar permission is set for Reviewer or higher permission for this user.
    2. Please remove this shared calendar from Calendar list and add it back to check whether the issue persists.
    3. Change Outlook to Online mode and check whether the deleted single occurrences of recurring meeting is shown in calendar or not.

  • How can I restore deleted iCal events without removing current events?

    I have just discovered that iCal on my Laptop has been deleting events older than 30 days (as per the default), even though it's supposed to be syncing via MobileMe with my iMac which has this disabled.
    I have made backups and exports from iCal in the past. The former, iCal backup files, will apparently overwrite the whole calendar and restore it back to that point in time, which is surely rather useless? If there's a way to use one of these files without deleting new events, then please let me know.
    I did import a previous export taken in August 2007, but that still leaves a large gap.
    I have also been backing my iMac up in TimeMachine for the past year - is there a way to restore my Calendar this way without reverting new events?

    Hi crcamp1,
    If you have multiple backups, your previous backup may still be available.  Details are found in this article.
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support
    Where your backups are stored
    The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.
    Restoring is further discussed at the bottom of this article.

  • Cant delete recurring event from iMac to Macbook Air

    I Cant delete recurring event from iMac to Macbook Air.
    I have an event scheduled for Wednesday each week, I delete it at end of day. If i delete it on my Macbook Air it deletes fine on my iMac just fine. But if i delete it on my iMac first it stays on my Macbook Air...
    I check the preferences and both computers are configured the same way..
    It use to work before i upgraded both computers to Yosemite...

    Yes and no. AirDrop is used to send a file from one computer to another. A Contact isn't a file so AirDrop isn't the best way to move contacts from one computer to another. If you own both an iMac and MBA and want to keep the two computers synced, the easiest way is to create an iCloud account on both computers. Any calendar event, to do, contact, or note you create on one will sync to the other. If you just bought a MBA and want to move data to it from your iMac you should use Apple's migration assistant. Personally I think the easiest way to migrate is to perform a backup of the old computer to a USB external drive using TimeMachine and then connect the TimeMachine to the new computer and use Migration Assistant.
    But can you exchange contacts using AirDrop? Yes. Select the contact(s) you want to transfer, export them as vcards to a temporary folder. Then AirDrop the folder to your MBA. Now run Contacts and then drag the vcards onto the Contacts program icon in the Dock.
