Lost data on my iMac Cal, but iPad has the data.

I was fiddling around with email reminders on my iMac desktop, as you do...
To enable email reminders,I had to add iCal to iCloud, which I did.
Upon sync'ing, it reverted all my calendars to the last save, which was a couple of weeks ago.  I have made a fair few changes since then.
However, my iPad has all the correct data still on it
But iTunes is set to replace data on the iPad calendars with data on the desktop.  I need to reverse this but the sync starts immediately upon connection of the iPad to the desktop and there's no "Stop Sync" button.
How do I replace the desktop data with the iPad data of iCal?  I cant see any way of exporting the iPad data either.
Help

Well, I solved the problem.
For any others with the same problem, this is what I did.
Connected iPad to Ddesktop and held down the apple/option keys to stop the auto sync
Went to iCal on the desktop and deleted all calendars.
In iTunes I ticked the "sync all calendars" in info whilst making sure that "Replace information on this iPad"
I, for some reason lost a couple of appts for the current day and had a couple of duplicate appts occur, but it was fairly painless.
So, good news.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

    What OS did the Mac come pre-installed with, or have you upgraded it to Lion or Mountain Lion? You should be able to re-install using Internet Recovery, if you were on either of those OS's.
    Restart holding down Command + Alt (Option) + r
    You'll probably prompted for your Apple ID and you'll need to have the Mac connected to the internet - ideally via ethernet cable, although wifi should be OK if you have a reliable connection.
    More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    If you're on an earlier OS you'll need to use the grey restore disk that came with the Mac. Post back if you need more info.
    P.S. Pleased to hear you got your Mac back.

  • My ipad has the message-This ipad hasn't been backed up in two weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi.  I press ok and nothing happens.  I have it locked, plugged into wall, and conected to wi-fi.

    Go to Settings, iCloud, and then Storage and Backup.  You will then see a button to backup your iPad.  It may be that you have much stuff (i.e. photos, apps) for it to do a full backup but you will be able to tell what the estimated backup should be and what it will consist of so that you can choose to prune down items.  If you don't want to backup and get rid of the messages you can just turn backup off from this area as well.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Site admin "Order on behalf" set to no but everyone has the option

    Site admin "Order on behalf" set to no but everyone has the option
    My site admin setting has "Order on behalf" set to no and yet everyone seems to have the option.  I have looked at the Org. units and they don't seem to have any roles or permission that force it.  When I look at "Anybody" it appears to have "order on behalf" set for only 3 users.  Can anyone suggest what I should look at that is causing this option to be set somewhat globally rather than for certain Org. units?

    HI Joe,
    By setting the permissions for the Anyone Role, you have given "anyone" or all people in that instance the ability to "order on behalf" of those 3 individual people. Thus, providing the Order on Behalf Tab in MyServices to be seen by all. 
    For the opposite use case - to only allow those 3 individuals to see the Order on Behalf Tab in MyServices and have permissions to "order on behalf" of anyone the following can be done:
         1. Create a Custom Role
         2. Add the 3 indi

    Can you please specify more, what generation and is it wifi or wifi and cellular?
    The best thing to do with all ipad's is try ro set it back to factory setting, go into itunes, open the screen that displays your ipad and press, reset r factory settings or something like that.
    Remember to make a backup first! Otherwise you will lose all your files.

    why does ipad has the same ios like the Iphone4s ,it should be different than iphone

    Having one iOS that works across several platforms is one of the advantages of the iOS system. This allows developers to produce one software product instead of several and reduces development time and costs. This is a fundamental difference between iOS and Android operating systems where operating system varieties impede development.

    You can try holding both the home and power buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.

  • How do I send the iPhoto events from my iMac to my iPad when the two devices are connected by USB port?

    I connected my iPad to my iMac via USB port.  I want to send my iPhoto events/files to my iPad.  I cannot find the right instructions.  It appears to me that the iPad sync only transmits data from the iPad to the iMac, but I am trying to send iPhotos from the iMac to the iPad.  Do I use export or sync?

    You need to use iTunes to sync photos.
    Connect your iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes. Select Photos from the menu. Click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

  • Can you pair with an iMac and an iPad at the same time?

    If you have an iMac and an iPad, is it possible to pair the same Apple Wireless Keyboard with both of them, rather than having to buy two Wireless Keyboards?

    I've kind of found an answer to my question, but I'm not totally satisfied. Basically, yes, you can use one Apple Wireless Keyboard with an iMac and iPad, but obviously not at the same time.
    To switch the Apple Wireless Keyboard over from working with the iMac to working with the iPad, you first have to "Disconnect" the keyboard in System Preferences > Bluetooth. This frees up the keyboard, making it available for the iPad to access.
