Lost Events and Calendars

I was having problems with deleted events that kept reappearing so I went to Home then Library then Preferences and dragged these to desktop:
com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
com.apple.iCal.sources.plist
com.apple.iCal.alarmsCache.plist
com.apple.iCal.plistcom.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist
This didn't help and all my events and extra calendars have disappeared. The Home and Work calendars are listed, but all the events are gone. I moved the above out of the desktop and put them back into the Preferences folder, but that didn't help. Still no events. I tried checking this out in a different user, but the events are still gone. I did a restart and that didn't help either. I'm not syncing. How can I get all my events and calendars back? I'm running OS 10.3.9.

I've had the exact same issue -- I had calendars last week, now nothing (and I can't add any calendars, even though it's my home computer and I have the admin password, of course.) I thought it might have been caused by Yahoo!, Google, or my 3rd-party software (Missing Sync) but I think you have at least allowed me to narrow it down to Google.
Did you ever get your issue resolved?

  • Lost contacts and calendar, possibly MobileMe related

    My wife just lost all contacts and calendar from her iPhone 4. She had been bothered by repeated requests by the phone for her MobileMe password. As far as she knew, she was not a MobileMe user, so our son disabled the MobileMe account on the phone. After this, the contacts and calendar were gone. She has tried online and phone help, as well as a visit to an Apple Store, with no luck. Is it possible that her data still exist and can be recovered?

    She obviously has a MobileMe account or there would be no MobileMe account to disable on her iPhone. And if her contacts are now gone, this means she was syncing contacts over the air on her iPhone with her MobileMe online address book. When turning contacts off for over the air syncing on the iPhone and when deleting or disabling the account on the iPhone, contacts synced over the air go with it or are removed from the iPhone.
    Her contacts should be available with her MobileMe online address book unless she signed up for a MobileMe trial account for 60 days and didn't purchase the account allowing it to expire.
    Regardless, her contacts should be available on her computer as well. If the contacts are available in an address book app that is supported for syncing contacts with the iPhone, she can sync contacts direct with the supported address book app on her computer via the iTunes sync process.

  • IOS6 upgrade - lost contacts and calendar

    Hadn't yet upgraded my iMac OS becasue of the likelihood of this sort of problem. Upgraded my iPhone to iOS6 and now I have no contacts or calendar. I use Outlook as default on my iMac, and all contacts and calendar info is still there (thank God - I use this for my business!) I still have texts (which only show phone numbers, not names!) and emails.
    For a similar problem some time back, Apple suggested clearing the iSync log which worked a treat - not this time! I do not have iCloud enabled (yet) except to find my iPhone. I have iTunes 10.7 and my iMac OS is 10.6.8. I have tried adding my iPhone as a device in iSync, but get the message to say it cannot communicate with my iPhone. I suspect the basic problem is that Outlook is no longer syncing with Address Book and iCal - all the info was duplicated there before - no longer!
    Any help/suggestions gratefully received...right now, I need this info on my iPhone, but don't have the time to upgrade my iMac OS. When I do that, I also plan to change from Outlook as my default email/calendar/addressbook and use Mail, iCal and Address Book instead.

    This is just an educated guess,  but I think most if not all problems are related to data not synced with another service like Google or corporate mail. Data manually entered, and stored in the PlayBook only is lost. Even though this should not happen. Can someone verify this theory? 

  • HT204150 Getting error message ("The set of folders cannot be opened") when clicking on "iCloud' folder in Outlook 2007. Lost contacts and calendar in outlook 2007 while installing icloud.

    Vista + Outlook 2007 + Icloud : Lost all contacts and calendar in outlook when installing/Synchronizing iCloud. Both still available on iphone and iCloud.
    How to get them back in Outlook? Understand iCloud erased them and transferred them in an other outlook account. In Outlook 2007, I can see a folder called "iCloud" but get an error message ("The set of folders cannot be opened...") when clicking on it. I suspect all is there, but no access possible. I assume some Outlook settings are uncorrect, but wonder which settings...?

    Well. Working just fine now, since uninstalling and re-installing icloud and syncing.

  • Recover lost contacts and calendar from iPad

    Hi All.
    My dad has an iPad 1 which he uses for work, in particular the contacts and calendar. Earlier this week he said he switched it on and it was as if the iPad had lost all its settings. There was no WiFi to home router and all his contacts and calendar were missing. He re-setup the WiFi but cannot get his missing contacts and calendar back. He had made some major changes and additions since his last sync with the pc and Outlook so a re-sync will not be good enough. Looking around online, others have had the same problem and some people say that the data is still there. There is also mention of a programme called Dr Fone which apparantly scan the iPad and can recover this data. Has anyone tried this or can anyone suggest another way of getting this data back? Its really important.
    Thanks
    Dean

    Never mind, I found a great tutorial:

  • IPhone 4S iOS6.0.1 and iTunes 11 lost contacts and calendar

    I installed iTunes 11 and everything looked just fine. However, after the first sync of the iPhone, all my contacts and calendar were erased from the iPhone. It is still just fine in Outlook. I clicked the boxes on the Info Screen to load all data for Calendar and Contacts from this computer during next sync. Two weeks ago, I upgraded from Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 to Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013. However, all syncs after that upgrade worked just fine. I only lost the data after upgrading from iTunes 10.7 to iTunes 11.0.
    Simply thrilling.

    Disregard... new iTunes 11.0 placed all my contacts and calendars in the Cloud. When I turned on Contacts and Calendar in Cloud, they all loaded back on my phone. Urgh.

  • Upgrading to Photos lost cards and calendars!

    So now that everything is going from iPhoto to "Photos," I seem to have lost ALL my projects, including dozens of cards and calendars.  Can anyone tell me where they might be, or if they are even recoverable?  Can I reinstall iPhoto and get them back using Time Machine?  I am very disappointed.

    Do you see anything under Projects in the sidebar?  If not move the cursor to the right of the Projects title to see if Show or Hide appears.
    If it's Show click on it.  All projects should be converted. 

  • Lost contacts and calendar when restoring palm profile on replacement Pre

    After nearly 90 days from launch date, and totally loving my Pre, I took it into the Sprint store to show them what looks like screen separation inside the screen.  Sprint deemed it reasonable to replace the phone, and gave me a refurbished Pre.  Not keen on that, but as long as it is the same warranty, I guess that is OK.  All is well with my new Pre with one huge exception.  While I had backed up pictures and music to my computer, I was relying on the "cloud" to back up contacts and calendar.  Bad assumption.  After I signed into my Palm profile with the new Pre, I got my apps back, but no contacts or calendar.  After hours on the phone with multiple Sprint and Palm support people and several partial resets, I am now on a list to get a call-back from a Palm engineer.  The kicker is that it could be up to two weeks before I get my call-back, and I am guessing if I miss that call, I'll have to wait another two weeks.  I live and die by the calendar I kept on my Pre, so I am fried now.  This is low class and low quality customer support.  Anyone with a similar experience?  Similar problem?  Suggestions on approaches to take to get Palm's attention to get this fixed?  Thanks.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I too found out the hard way that not all contacts get backed up to your Palm Profile.  When I purchased my first palm pre back in June, I imported all of my contacts using pocketmirror.  I assumed that since they're now on the pre, they'd be automagically backed up to my Palm Profile.  Not true!  I recieved a replacement palm pre after my first one started developing small cracks on the edge of the screen plastic.  BTW, these cracks were not due to abuse, but apparently cheap material.  Additionally, the refurbished pre they sent me has a bad "oreo" effect and is very sloppy, but that's a story for another time (hint: google "palm pre oreo").  After activating the refurbished pre, I found that none of my important contacts were pulled down from my Palm Profile.  At this point I contacted sprint support and spent over 5 hours of tech support hell being transferred between sprint and palm multiple times.  I was so far beyond frustration and fury, I was ready to physically assault someone...  After these 5 hours, I was no closer to salvaging my contacts from my old palm pre.  Sprint reactivated the old one, but every time it booted up it would only give me two options; to "Just restart" or "Erase all data."  Pressing "Just restart" would reboot the phone and 3 minutes later would show the exact same screen with the same useless options.  Obviously, erasing all data was not what I wanted to accomplish.  Ultimately, Palm support told me there was no way to recover anything off the old phone and argued with me telling me that the contacts I wanted were not stored physically inside the flash memory in the old phone.  This was purely incorrect as I was finally able to hack a way into my old pre and move the contacts that only existed in the contacts application (not my Palm Profile) over to my replacement pre (this involved some linux skills and completely unsupported procedures, but it worked).  It was obvious that the Palm support tech was either ill informed or ill equipped to assist me in any way.
    For anyone that may end up in the same position, I had to bypass the broken activation screen that I was stuck at on my old pre using details here:
    http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Patch_webOS_Bypassing_Activation
    I was then able to gain access to the filesystem itself and copy everything out of /var (the really important file is PalmDatabase.db3 which holds all of your contacts, calendar, synergy links, IM/SMS threads, etc.):
    http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Important_Personal_Data_Locations
    At any rate, I hope this helps someone who ends up in a similar situation.  The solution is far from elegant, but provided you have or know someone who has some linux experience, it's possible to migrate almost everything from one pre to another.  As for me, I'm THOROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED with the hardware quality of the pre and the lack of options available to backup/migrate data on a pre (the Palm Profile cloud has failed me here).  I may soon drop this headache and follow the rest of my linux friends by moving to an android device.

  • Lost contacts and calendar events

    When I synced my IPhone with ITunes most recently, all but about 6 of my phone contacts, and about a third of my events on my calendar, disappeared. How can I get them back? The only restore option I can see through ITunes is for the date of the sync that created the problem. Help!

    I should mention that i have NOT upgraded to iOS 5 on the 3GS and don't want to.  Therefore, no iCloud on the phone.

  • 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.

  • Lost events in calendars

    I have an iphone 4 which is running on ios7.4. Events in my calendars did not transfer to this year. Could you please tell me how to get these back

    The missing information! There are two keys here:
    First, for most users, it just takes time for the sync to occur that will bring your calendars back into iCal. There is actually a message that notes that it will take time for iCal to sync old calendar entries that appears briefly during the upgrade to the Beta iCal, but if you're like me, you breeze past it. For some people, restarting the Mac also helps. This seems to be the case for people who have only one iCal account that lives (or previously lived) only on their Mac.
    BUT... for other people, the problem is that the iCal Beta deletes your Mobile Me calendar account and leaves you with only a default account which may be your company's email account. The secret as noted in this string is to go to your iCal preferences on your Mac (NOT on Mobile Me) and add the URL for your Mobile Me account. This should bring back your Mac's calendar with the next sync. Another hint; on Mobile Me iCal preferences (click the star looking icon on the right of the Mobile Me iCal menu bar and go to preferences). Under preferences click to "Keep a copy of this calendar on this computer for faster access."

  • Lost contact and calendar info after installing 2.0

    I installed the 2.0 update, and I lost all of my contact info and my calendar info. Since I primarily use the iPhone, it was not synced to my Powerbook.
    Is there any way to restore this info (something I may have missed when entering it all manually), and how do I prevent this from happening again (outside of never installing an update)
    Thanks for your help,
    Ruth

    In 1.4.1 :) check the Preferences | Import and uncheck the check box "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected"
    Check the same box in 2.0, if that is what you want to do.
