ITunes Sync deleted my Calendars. How do I restore them on Lion? Everything has changed. I can't find old iCal Calendars on Time Machine.

My calendars on the iPhone did not syncronize with iCloud for other devices (iPad, Mac). So I tried to sync iPhone Calendars with iTunes where I got a warning of duplicate entries.
After the sync my Mac calendars all were gone, on the iPhone, on the Mac. Only the Calendars on iCloud, which are not up to date (!!!) are still available. I tried to restore via TimeMachine but could not find the database for iCal. Everything seems to have changed in OX Lion. Very confusing. Any suggestions?

Apple have hidden the user’s Library folder to casual viewers, in an attempt to stop new Mac users screwing their machines up. To access it, in the Finder go to the ‘Go’ menu and hold down the Option (Alt) key; the Library folder will appear as a choice. Navigate to the Calendars folder: back it up and then enter Time Machine to restore an earlier verions.
However, the sync process will probably promptly delete the info, so you will need to go through the process detailed here:

    If the contacts are still on icloud.com, just sign into your iCloud account in Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts on.  If they aren't on icloud.com, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

    Download them again from the App Store. As long as you're signed in from the same account, you won't be charged again.
    Best of luck.

  • Itune sync with outlook calendar

    everytime itune sync with outlook calendar,
    a calendar folder under Outlook calendar is created.
    iphone only sync with the newly created blank folder
    therefore, nothing.

    Answer Jbieber16:
    Normally, when I sync my HTC (Pocket PC) with my notebook, I just plug USB cord to HTC (micro USB head) and notebook (regular USB head).  Microsoft Mobile Device Center will automatically start and then sync data between HTC and notebook (sync Microsoft Outlook data, musics, photo, and Microsoft Office files in designated folder).
    When sync completed, Microsoft Outlook's contacts, calendar, notes, emails as well as musics, photo, and Microsoft Office files in HTC and Notebook will be identical and updated.
    Without USB cord, it can be synced via Bluetooth (cordless).
    Note: I posted this question because some of my friends using iPhone told me that "data of Microsoft Outlook will partially sync to iPhone via iTune, not all data".  So I check before sync Microsoft Outlook data with my new iPad2.

    Hi SouthMountainSound,
    It sounds like the tracks may be missing from your iTunes library. When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. If it cannot be located, this may cause the issue of not being copied to your iPod. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Thanks,

    Do you live in the United States? If you do then you can download them again for free - as long as the movies are available for free downloads. Apple has not forged agreements with every movie studio yet so you just have to check.
    Launch iTunes, and tap on the purchased tab. In the upper left corner you will see a "View" button. Tap that in order to toggle among music, TV Shows and Movies. Select Movies and then see if the movies appear. If they do, tap the Movie icon and then tap the cloud icon next to the icon in order to begin the download.
    You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to purchase them.
    If you do not live in the U.S. then you will have to purchase them again.

  • How do you restore iCal calendars in Time Machine

    I recently updated to iCloud from Mobile Me and when I opened iCal I noticed that the Mobile Me calendars and the iCloud Calendars were the same, so I deleted all my Mobile Me calendars and to my horror realized after reopening iCal that all the caledars were deleted in the iCloud calendar as well.
    How do I restore those calendars via Time Machine? I am running OS X Lion and although I have made the terminal change so I can see my user Library folder, within Time Machine it does not show up.
    Help!!

    Well, I guess they're not really ical backups, per se.
    When i went to migrate MobileMe to iCloud, it said "make sure you back up your calendars first" and I almost didn't do it because I figured I have TM if I need it, but decided just to be safe...
    so I did file>export>export for each calendar.
    Then after the migration seemed to go smoothly, I deleted them.
    Then got into this snafu.
    Fortunately, was able to TM back to the desktop from right before I erased them.
    so I restored them, then imported them one by one, and so far it looks like everything is good.  Knock on wood.
    It's still frightening to me though that an accidental deletion from the cloud turns into a day of screwing around to restore things!!  It shouldn't be that easy to just permanently erase so much important data. I shouldn't have to manually export all my calendars every day if I want a backup...

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Could you tell us a little more about what you want to do. Bear in mind that iTunes has nothing to do with your iCloud account.

    How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted

    Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top?
