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!

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.
More info on backups here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 -
My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud. My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced. I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?
The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone. -
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/.

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.

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.

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 had to reboot my Ipod touch. I lost all my data and I went into my settings to turn the internet on so I could get everything back and It wouldnt let me turn it on It was just grey. Please help me.
Sounds like this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

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.
