Lost all calenders when updating software

Hi,
Being an utter simpleton I managed to lose all my info from ical when I had a problem with another peice of software.
I had to bin my libary and with it all my preferences. I have salvaged some info from the old libary but can't work out where all my ical info is? If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears.

Cia363,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Calendars will be stored in the Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources Folder. This folder contains as many sub folders as you have calendars. The sub folders will be named with obtuse names like 4A1DC586-14EC-4D42-B659-BEBA31968385.calendar. Inside each one of the sub folders will be a file named corestorage.ics which can be imported.
The full path name for each calendar (source) will be Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/4A1DC586-14EC-4D42-B659-BEBA31968385.calendar/corestorage. ics
If you had several calendars, you will have a corestorage.ics file for each calendar.
Good Luck.
;~)

Lost all contacts when updating software

Hey I just updated to v4.6 on my Bold and now I can't find any of my contacts...calendar and outlook info still there but all of my contacts were lost...HELP!
Thanks
Solved!

Hi and Welcome!
Depending on how you did the update, it may have created, on your PC, a backup file. If you did the update via USB tether on your PC (e.g., not OTA), then search your hard drive for a file with an ipd extension (*.ipd). Inspect the results (date/time of the file) and then choose one to use in the restore. Then, launch the DTM software and conduct a selective restore:

If you updated OTA or skipped the desktop backup during the update, then I am sorry for your loss, but there's nothing to be done.
Best.

Lost All Songs When Updating

My daughter lost all her songs on her i-pod. She just got a new laptop and when she hooked up her I-pod for the first time, it asked, "Would you like to update and make this your computer for the I-pod?" or words to that effect. She said yes and it wiped all the songs off her i-pod. The old computer with the original downloads is gone (it was a loaner) and the hard drive wiped clean. Anyway to retrieve her songs? Help is much appreciated

Sorry, but if she synchronized her iPod to an empty iTunes library, the tracks on her iPod are probably gone. She can try a Windows file recovery utility - some claim to work with iPods, though I can't make a specific recommendation - and see if it can recover the tracks, but not having used any I don't know how well it will work. Otherwise, she'll have to reimport your CDs and restore her purchased tracks from her backup (she did make a backup, didn't she? I hope so).
For future reference, synchronization between iTunes and an iPod is one way only, from iTunes to the iPod. So if you're connecting your iPod to a new, blank copy of iTunes, you cannot let it synchronize automatically or it will delete all the tracks from the iPod. To connect an iPod with tracks to a blank copy of iTunes, you need to turn off automatic synchronization. There are instructions in other threads here on how to keep an iPod from synching automatically on connection, and on how to transfer tracks from an iPod back to iTunes.
I know this doesn't help the situation now, but just in case the issue ever arises in the future, she'll know more about what to do.

Lost all data when updating to iOS 7. Help would be appreciated.

I forgot to back up my iPhone before updating to iOS 7, and lost all data. Are there any methods for restoring the data without iCloud or iTunes?

Lost all data when updating iPod Touch

I've managed to update my iPod software and after it was updated, all the music files disappear except for the apps. I did the restore option and it erase ALL of data inside which irritates me greatly. Now, the music and the apps are gone. I want to know how to restore all the music and apps that I have before the update. i noticed that when I update the software, it ask me to backup and so I did. However, I cannot seem to know how to execute this kind of backup.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if that will work, iTunes have already exported my music library and the music contained inside the iPod isn't located inside this computer. So it should means that iTunes will sync the music library, not from the lost data. This situation stands at updating my iPod this morning and it eradicated all the previous music data it have inside, I've tried to restore from backup but only able to restore on two time periods.

Lost all apps when updating to OS4

Hi,
I updated to OS 4 yesterday and my backup failed. I stil proceeded with the update and the result was that I lost everything on the phone. When i tried resetting to a previous backup I still dont get my apps back. What should I do? I had 4 "pages" of apps, some of them really expensive. Please help me.

Itunes content is NOT included in your iphone backup. Itunes content is stored in your itunes library, so just sync to restore your itunes content. After you restore your from either from backup or as new, you must sync to restore your itunes content which is selected under the various tabs in itunes.

You need to restore.
Everything should be on your computer, so you can just sync it back.

I lost some photos when updating my OS, how can I find them

I lost some photos when updating my OS, how can I find them. I have already tried to restore through my PC but the photos are still not there. Any thoughts?

If you haven't backup up your phone, then your photos are gone.
In addition you should import your photos to your PC, just like a ditigal camera, as a secondary backup in case you lose your pics you could always sync it back using Itunes.

Lost all contacts when manually adding new ones

Lost all contacts when manually entering new ones, how do I get them back? This is 2nd time this happened

Same thing happened to me this evening. I had 1700 contacts and was editing several contacts adding birthday and anniversay dates. After entering dates successfully into the second contact, I did a search for a third contact and got "no results". That's when I noticed that I had no contacts - not a single one. Tried turning iPad 2 off and then back on - but no joy - zero contacts. Not even an error message or beep or system reset - contacts just disappeared. I suspect they are still on the device, but the Contact app link to the contact database file on solid state hard disk becomes corrupted.
APPLE - This is a HUGE bug that needs to be fixed IMMEDIATELY!
I have iPad 2 - 64gb - 3G/Verizon with 30 GB free. ios 4.3.3
I hadiTunes set to sync my Contacts with Google Mail
Additional info
- Resyncing with iTunes restored 1752 contacts
- I had recently used (24 hours earlier) "Dup Remover" app which worked beautifully, I which I have used successfully on my iPhone. To be clear - running Dup Remover did NOT cause this problem, but I mention as this loss of contacts may occur as a result of a unique set of actions on iPad 2.

I do need help. My little i-pod appears to have lost all visuals. when I connect it to the computer I can see what is there, but I can no longer play it or see the tiy screen. Does this mean it has died? or is there a way of resucitating the poor thing. m
