Lost all my calendars in ical - help!

I recently attempted to set up Google Calendars as a link between my wife's calendar in Outlook and my ical. Having set up a Google Calendar account in ical I tried to get the calendars to sync without success. The next day when I booted up my Mac ical was blank and no calendars were visible on the left. I am also unable to get ical preferences to open even though it is not greyed out. I have a Mobile Me account, an iphone 4 which still has all my calendar info but it doesn't sync either via MM or USB. I have the latest updates for itunes, OSX and iphone 4.
Can I reinstall ical, will this solve the problem and where do I find the download, I couldn't see it on Apple's support section?
Many thanks for any help.

Anyone? I have tried repairing permissions to no effect.

  • HELP - I've lost all my Calendar data, most of my Notes, and other issues

    In priority order:
    1.  Sometime in the last two days my iPhone 4S, with IOS 7.0.4, lost all my Calendar data except birthdays from Contacts.
    2.  Most of my Notes are lost except those from PC.
         WRT the above, iPad data is still intact.  
    3.  IOS 7.0.4 crashes apps A LOT! Even Apple apps.
    4.  IOS 7.0.4 is slow.

    Resolved items 1 & 2 by rebooting the phone.  I am happy that it resolved, but it shouldn't have happened n the first place.

  • Lost all my Calendars when I went to iCloud

    So I moved to iCloud and then my iCal on my MacBook was outof step with my iPhone and iPad. So I went to the Apple Store in Rancho Cucamongaand they deleted all of my iCal entries on my iPhone and then went iCloud frommy MacBook Then my iCal on my MacBook and iPhone were in step. When I got home,I did the same thing on my iPad and then I LOST ALL MY CALENDARS!!
    I relied on iCal and do not have a backup, and Time Machineand Carbonite (which I use) do not have an iCal backup.
    I need to get my iCal back. PLEASE HELP!!

    I ended up going to the Apple Store and it took 2 people to get this problem resolved.
    Basically, they did the following:
    deleted all of my iCal calendars from all devices
    deleted iCloud from Mac Book, iPhone and iPad
    turned of wireless (so sync would not work)
    restored from a week back from Time machine the Calendar data in the Library folder
    saved each of the calendars out as an .ics
    turned on wireless again
    created iCloud on the devices again
    turned of wireless (so sync would not work)
    created the calendars I have before on all the devices
    restoredthe .ics files
    turned on wireless again and then synced
    everything in iCal was back to one week ago, which was better than having nothing!!
    Be VERY careful moving to iCloud!

  • HT1386 Lost my iPhone calendars, can you help?

    I added an additional e-mail account to my phone and then lost all my calendars.   The genius at the Apple store was NO help.  I had mobile me and converted to iCloud when we were forced to. However, I somehow missed the inted to iCloud when we were forced to. However, I somehow missed the message that we only had 5GB storage......since I had been paying yearly for the mobile me $99 a year  and was told they would just roll over to iCloud!!  I tried to get the data off my Mac and couldn't, however, (the good news)  most of the calendars since may 2009 are there on my iPad.....only missing most of August. 
    NOW - what is my next step?  I am afraid to touch anything at this point.
    I rely heavily on my calendar for business. 
    ANY ideas would be most welcome.  I don't feel like calling Apple geniuses.
    thank you, bobbie

    go to www.icloud.com sign in and click on find my iphone. The phone has to be connected to wi-fi or cellular data and turned on.

  • I lost all my data in ical does this have to do with icloud/mobil me?, I lost all my data in ical does this have to do with icloud/mobil me?

    I lost all my data in ical does this have to do with icloud/mobil me? There is no account related to my icalendar. When I ty to enter my ATT/Yahoo it says that they do not allow CALDAV?? HElP Somebody!

    Hi Steve,
    If this is dot mac or Mobile me you can still use IMAP eMail in the iCloud.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
        •    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 993
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
        •    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 587
        •    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • I updated my iPhone 5c to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events.  How can I get them back?

    I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events.  How can I get them back?  I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud.  I changed it back and still don't have any events.

    Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers?  If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

  • I just set up my ipod and lost all my calendars.  Is there a way to prevent Ipad from doing that/

    I just set up my IPad and lost all my calendars on all devices, including Outlook.  How did that happen and how can i prevent that in the future?  The only thing that i was asked about was to delete my local contacts or not.

    No backup is a bad mistake.
    The music sync is one way only - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing, File>Transfer Purchases
    Start asap always maintaining a backup of your computer.

  • I got new iphone and when i connect it to my pc, it lost all my current data and replaced it with the backup on my computer, which is from april. so i have lost all my calendar information and schedule. does anyone know how i can reverse this?

    i got new iphone and when i connect it to my pc, it lost all my current data and replaced it with the backup on my computer, which is from april. so i have lost all my calendar information and schedule. does anyone know how i can reverse this and get my information back?

    Every backup replaces the old one, so, unless you included the backup folder in your computer backup routine, you can't get back your calendar info.
    The only time iTunes will not replace a backup is, when you use it to restore from, this one will stay in the backup list in iTunes.

  • I purchased some films on my ipad and since syncing with my itunes, I have lost all my films, can anyone help?

    I purchased some films on my ipad and since syncing with my itunes, I have lost all my films, can anyone help?

    There is some troubleshooting for 0xE8 error codes on this page : iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC
    For the charging via USB, a lot of computers don't provide enough power to their USB ports to charge an iPad at a sufficient rate (it may still be charging, especially if the iPad's is locked and the screen is off), the iPad's own wall charger is generally the best way to charge it.

  • HT5622 I lost all my pictures! Please help:( I added all my photo to a new album from the camera roll and i delete the picture that already move to new album, at last all my picture was gone !:'( Please, anyway to recover back all my photo? please help :'

    I lost all my pictures! Please help:( I added all my photo to a new album from the camera roll and i delete the picture that already move to new album, at last all my picture was gone !:'( Please, anyway to recover back all my photo? please help :'( Apple Service Center or Branch can help?

    Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
    Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

  • Lost all my calendar events on Ipad. Seems to coinside with deleting my Hotmail address

    Lost all my calendar events on Ipad. Seems to coincide with deleting my Hotmail address. Is this possible?

    I would try adding your Hotmail calendar back in and then seeing if all of your events show up. You can check the events to see which calendar they are assigned to.

  • Since downloading iOS 7.3 I have lost all my calendar entries and it wont accept new entries. Is it me or the system?

    Since downloading iOS7.3 to my iphone 4, I have lost all my calendar entries and it won't let me create new entries either. Is it me or is it the system and if the latter how do I recover the data and add to it?
    I am not up dating the system on my ipad in case the same thing happens. They aren't syncing on this facility.

    Easy solution, 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.

  • On my iPhone's calendar, the " " sign is gray and won't let me add events. Plus I've lost all my future events. Help?

    My iPhone's Calendar's "+" sign is gray and I cannot add events. Plus I've lost All future events.  Help?

    I think you also played with the contrast setting.
    Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Increse contrast.
    Turn it off.
    Voila.

  • Lost notes and calendar after restore - help, please!

    My phone recently froze and I went to the apple store to have it fixed. They reset and restored it, telling me that I wouldn't lose an info as long as I had recently synched it. I came home, synched and now have lost my all my calendar items and my notes.
    I was able to recover my contacts and songs, because of the little tabs at the top of the synch screen. However, I can't find how to recover the calendar and notes.
    Can someone please help?
    Many thanks.......g.

    Notes are not recoverable unless iTunes has a backup file of a last Sync.
    The problem is this file is over written with each sync so it could be outdated by now with current info your iPhone has.
    As far as Calenders goes. As long as you are using one of the supported programs in the Link below, And it has your calender data in it. You can use the Tabs your talking about and Sync the info back.
    Simply go to Info Tab, Then tell it Sync Calenders, And choose the program based on your PC/Mac and Sync.
    Sorry for the frustration and confusion this has caused you. Best of luck.

  • Can't connect to .Mac, lost all Contacts, Calendar info

    Hi all.
    I have a recent iPod touch. It's set up to synchronize (Mail, Contacts, iCal, Applications) wirelessly with MobileMe, NOT via iTunes.
    Everything was working fine.
    This afternoon, I loaded 5 pictures and also used the Maps application.
    Now, back home, the iPod can't connect to MobileMe: if I try to use the Mail application, it displays the msg "Checking for Mail..." forever and nothing happens. Eventually, I get a msg stating "Cannot Get Mail The user name or password for [email protected] is incorrect". (That is ********.), I click OK and then it states "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed".
    I also appear to have lost all my contacts (only about 1200) and all the calendar info.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hi, everybody.
    Following an Apple troubleshooting procedure, I ended up deleting my account and re-creating one and was then able to recover my contacts, mail and calendar info from MobileMe.
