IPhone calendar lost whilst syncing to iMac - help, please!

Whilst syncing the iPhone to the iMac through iTunes, all the calendar entries on the iPhone were deleted - despite everything else (photos, music, contacts) remaining both on the iPhone and were imported onto the iMac. I have now lost my entire schedule, and am desperate for some help. Did the iMac clear the iPhone of its calendar, by replacing it's (empty) iCal contents onto the iPhone? Is there anyway of retrieving the calendar entries? My iMac is backed up on the Time Machine, but so far I haven't managed to find the deleted stuff anywhere!

Ok normally you need to have a bogus entry in both the contacts and the calendar on the mac then sync just those items it will give you an option to merge the data. Unfortunately it's a little late for that bit now as the default is to replace the information with that which is on the Mac. What you can do is connect the iPhone to the Mac and restore from a previous backup this "should" i think have all your calendar/contact entries in it and they should be restored to the iPhone after this if you follow the normal sync procedure to merge the information you should have the contacts/calendars on both the mac and the iPhone. check the following link for calendar/contact sync information

My iphone calendar does not sync with imac

The calendar on my imac does not sync with my iphone

Are you trying to sync via iTunes? If so, note that since the release of Mavericks (OS X 10.9) syncing contacts and calendars to a Mac via iTunes is no longer supported. The currently supported method is via iCloud. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

Putting info on my iPhone calendar does not sync with my iMac unless I plug it into my iMac

putting info on my iPhone calendar does not sync with my iMac unless I plug it into my iMac. It did when I first bought iPhone, how can I sync automatically?

Could be a bunch of reasons. Do you have icloud setup on both devices? Can you give us more details of your setup? Make sure you have the calendar set to sync in the icloud system settings. Also make sure you are set to sync said calendar. I was checking my settings and realized that you may or may not be using icloud for calendaring. On your phone in settings/mail, contacts, calendars/ you have the ability to select what and which calendars you want to sync. Make sure it is configured appropriately.

I syned my iPhone and lost most if my messages. Please help
I tried to restore of but it won't work. Even lost my photos

Syncing to iTunes doesn't make delete your message or photos.
where you syncing to a different computer than the one you normally sync to?
Are you sure you weren't restoring instead of syncing.
If you have a backup of your phone that included those message or photos then use that backup.

Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.

IPhone Calendar Didn't Sync

Does anyone know how to get the iPhone calendar (iCal) to Sync back into the iPhone. I have the original 8 gig phone from June 07, just upgraded the .me account but it only brought in other calendars and not the real one from the iPhone that I had backed up on the G4. Its strange. It should sync all 3 calendars. Is this something I need to wait for ?

For what is backed up to iCloud see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
If your Mac is new enough to use iCloud, it is new enough to use Pages '09

IPhone Calendar Changes not Syncing with ICal

Additions and changes to my iPhone calendar are not synced with ICal on my Mac. Syncing the other direction (adding or changing appointments on my Mac) works, but nothing I change or add on my iPhone appears on my Mac (the same seems to be true of contacts and notes). I have the same problem with an iPod touch.
Has anyone else experienced (and fixed) a similar problem? As it ism the iPhone-Mac sync only works in one direction!

I had the same problem, and then all my calendars stopped syncing either way. They picked a beautiful time to do it, too... right as I was leaving on a business/pleasure vacation where I was making on the fly appointments. grumble
However, I fixed it tonight. Here is what I did.
1. Back up (export) all your iCal calendars. (not just good practice, you'll need them later) Make sure iCal is closed.
2. under ~/Library/Application Support/iCal delete everything.
3. under ~/Library/Calendars delete everything
4. Sync your phone.
At this point you should have your phone overwriting everything in iCal. If your problem is ONLY syncing from phone to iCal you should be good to go, if you can't sync either way, you'll need to:
5. Drag all your backed up calendars back to iCal. In theory they will sort themselves out, but you might have some duplicates between stuff you've created on your phone and in iCal.
I don't know if this will keep the problem from occurring again, but at the very least, I was able to test out my ability to create events on either side, and it works.
I kept hoping that the last iPhone update would solve this for me, alas!

HT1296 When i sync calendars, the info i typed in my iphone calendar does not sync to my computer

When i sync calendars, the info i typed in my iphone calendar does not sync to my computer? Info from my ical from the computer does sync to my iphone...Am i missing something?

Thanks for the reply but when I do this my default calendar options are 'From My Mac' or 'iCloud'. If I try to select a calendar I can only select one of them. So, if I select Calendar I can only get a check mark beside one feature, calendar, home, or work. I am stumped. I can add events on the Mac and then will sync to the phone but not the other way. That sounds like settings to me but I have toggled everything I can think of.

I recommend reaching out to Citrix via their support system -

The receiver app has a specific list of servers it's compatible with, if the server is not on the list the app won't work in OS X.

Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
Or try Cerbu's post here.
Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
Please let us know which approach works for you...

5.0.1 Firefox, application froze then crashed. Restarted it, but no 'restore session' and i've lost all my tabs. Help please?!?!

Can anyone help please?
5.0.1 Firefox, application froze then crashed. Restarted it, but no 'restore session' and i've lost all my tabs. Help please?!?!
Done config:restoresession, and nothing.

There shouldn't be any numbered sessionstore-##.js in the Firefox Profile Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
The presence of such files usually indicates that that was a problem with accessing the main sessionstore.js file that prevented Firefox from renaming the temp file with the number.<br />
In this case you may be lucky that the file with the highest number may have that session.<br />
You can try to rename the file sessionstore-3.js to sessionstore.js to see if that brings back the lost tabs.
If you use the Time Machine then you can try to restore a copy of sessionstore.js from around the time that you lost that session.
