Lost iCal data after upgrade

I've just updated my husband's MacBook from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Everything has gone perfectly well, apart from iCal and Address Book, both of which are now empty. How do I reunite them with their data? If it isn't hiding somewhere on his MacBook, I can retrieve the files from Crashplan. Just that I don't know what they look like, where they are, or how to feed them back into the applications...

I've googled but I still can't figure out where these files are, or how to reunite them. Anyone?

  • Lost calendar data after upgrade to OS X 10.10.3 from 10.10.2

    Using MacBook Pro 13 inch Mid 2009, Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DD3; Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Upgraded to OS X 10.10.3 from OS X 10.10.2 and lost all data appointments, etc in Calendar.
    Tried retrieving calendar from Time Machine, but unable to recover as part running system.
    What do I do to retrieve data?  All my medical appointments are on this calendar.
    Please help.

    I found that is a hardware problem, because the 9600MGT didn't shown when I reinstall OS X Lion 10.7.4.
    It seems that I have to buy a new one

  • Lost user data after upgrade bios in G580

    HI
    I have strange problem with Lenovo G580 with Windows 7. After upgrade bios to newest version and reboot my system start without any user data (no documents, no programs installed earlier), All reboot take short time, about 1-2 minutes. Only username stay the same.
    Is it possible that upgrade BIOS was bring recover system to factory?
    Does data can I recover somehow?
    I need help because there was important databases of company.
    Thanks
    Dariusz

    hi Dariusz,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    That's really strange indeed and very unusual as I've never seen a BIOS update delete a user's data before. Perhaps you're logged-in to a temporary user profile?
    To check if you're logged-in to a temp profile, show hidden files and navigate to C:\Users and check if you have an identical username with a dollar sign right next to it and apply this fix:
    Fix Corrupt Windows 7 Temporary Profile
    For data recovery, check these Free File Recovery Software Programs.
    Hope this helps

  • Lost iCal data after attempt to use iCloud...possible to sync from iPhone to Macbook?

    I attempted to enable iCloud on my MacBook Pro, and after seeing that it was deleting all of the data on my iCal, I realized that it wiped out all of the data on my iCal . I stopped the iCloud sync quickly after.
    However, my iPhone 4 has a recently synced copy of all the data, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to transfer the events on my iPhone to my Macbook?
    I am running OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
    Thank you, any help is much appreciated!

    I believe sync is working.  I think IOS 6.1.2 caused some new attribute in the event record that Calendar doesn't recognize.
    I do not use iCloud (had the same problem with multiple duplicate events which took hours to fix) for calendars or contacts.  I sync wirelessly with my MacBook Pro once or twice a day: very painless.
    Since I updated my iPhone to IOS 6.1.2, events created on the iPhone do not show up in Calendar.  Events created in Calendar do show up on the iPhone.
    I also have an iPad which I updated to IOS 6.1.2 over the weekend.
    If I create an event on the iPhone, then sync with the Mac, then sync the iPad, the event shows up on the iPad.  The only place the event could have come from is the Mac.  Calendar still does not show the event.
    My guess is that there will be a Calendar update soon.  I hope so.  It was driving me nuts.

  • Lost all data after upgrading to 4.2

    Did an Upgrade to 4.2 for the first time since i bought the Iphone 3g, and when i check the phone there are no contacts, photos or apps i had before the upgrade, tried all the self help tips but no go, itunes did back the data up before upgrade but cant seem to sync it back to the phone, i would be really grateful to you guys if you can get me out of this mess.

    See my solution at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11757732#11757732
    It's pretty much guaranteed to work if it's at all possible to recover your contacts, although other simpler solutions may work too and some are discussed there.

  • Has anybody lost imported photos after upgrading to Lion? (iphoto11)

    Has anybody lost imported photos after upgrading to Lion? (iphoto11)

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • ICal has lost all events after upgrade to 10.8.3.

    iCal has lost all events and calendars except for birthdays after upgrade to 10.8.3. If I sync to my iPhone, will it wipe them from the phone, or will it get the events from the phone?
    I have Time Machine working, but am unsure how to restore calendars from it.
    PLEASE HELP.   

    Not sure why you think having to re-authorize would indicate an incompatibility or problem with their software unless you meant you have to keep re-authorizing the plugin?
    Some plugins need re-authorization when you change a certain file or files in your system.. or if the file structure itself changes.. or the drive is renamed for example.. It could simply be that IK used a different form of authorization routine to their other plugins or versions of their plugins, with Amplitude 2.... Nothing to do with an incompatibility...or problems.
    Anyhow I am happy you got the matter resolved and yes, random bursts of white noise is a classic sign of a plugin running in demo mode and needing authorization or re-authorisation as I suspected in your case.

  • IPAD2 calendar lost all data after 5.1 upgrade

    I just upgraded my iPad via iTunes to v5.1 today, and just like my upgrade previously  to 5.01, my calendar lost all data.  Somehow, I think I was able to recall the data under 5.01 whereby it just magically came back.  I don't remember  how it  came back.  How do I get my calendar data back??

    1). Re how are u syncing calendar.  And "info" :  answer: the entire "sync calendars with .....". Box is all gray.  When I click a check to the left of Sync, the Outlook field comes alive, and no other choices in that drop down field.
    "All calendars" is radio buttoned, and Do not sync events older tha .30. days ischecked. 
    I'll now leave it like that but since I don't use OUTLOOK on mt laptop I don't see how it wll affect anything .
    Further own on th screen, under ADVANCED, checking Calendars. Apparently willrlac "the selected information in this iPad with information from this omputer".   I don't know how to interpret this, do you?  If I check it it will get information form the computer ?   What info? A previous cal data file?
    2). Re page 70.  If you had not told me (sent a ref URL in one of u'r replies tonite), I wouldn't have even known about the iPad 5.1 manual. 
    Pager 70 : I read pg 70 and don't see any related advice. 
    In the meantime, no data, just like the last upgrade problem.  Since this is exclusively related to calendar, I must conclude whatever events file that existed  was lost in the process.  Although the US, FRENCH, AND GERMAN HOLIDAYS DID GET TRANSFERRED!  And a recurring event file also (time card every Friday)
    Ideas? 

  • I lost all my data after upgrading to iOS5.1. It did not ask me even one single question to delete or sync anything

    I tried to restore it but it gave me nothing but empty iPad. I don't use any other 'i' things. I upgrade and install my new computer and update iTunes.
    It did not ask me anything about my connecting and I ask for updateing old software. Everything is gone TOO smoth and yes clean iPad.
    I tried to find the answer in Internet but it did not fit my case. And they are lucky to have back up or other product from Apple to resync.
    I guess this will be the last one. I also have Samsung Andriod and I like it very much even it costs me very little, quick, shape, not confusing, type it easily, not gugu.
    SO NEXT ONE, I WILL BUY TABLET FROM SAMSUNG.

    I thought it is a intuitive idea to back up. But another problem I heard it before is someone lost the data when he synced his new iTune with the iPad with full data. And it synced iPad empty. I could happen.
    True I should back up, which I did not lost my data much except my notes in iPad.
    My complain is to say normal sensible OS will not do this. My Samsung did not have fansy iTune which I have to be careful too much. I just keep/remove things without warrying stupid sync.
    As you all seem has experience how to use iTune, but I don't. I cannot use it simple.

  • E71 lost calendar notes after upgrade

    First I made a full backup with nokia pcsuite and to memory card,and then I upgraded my E71. When I tried to restore I saw that all my date of calendar was lost.
    Even with the restore of memory card it was impossible to recover calendar events.
    I also have the problem that after upgraded it wasn't possible to see the firmware version with *#0000#.
    Only when I switched off and removed the battery it was resolved that problem.
    Any suggestions to the first issue?

    I have exactly the same problem, on my iphone 3G is now a 'calendar' which is empty. I did not create this calendar it just appear but all the other calendars which I have in my iphone and iCal (iMac Intel) dissapeared, vanished!!
    I have tried
    disconnect iphone from iMac,reset iSync history on my iMac,
    restart iMac, backup all my calendars on my iCal,
    delete all calendars on iCal , import back into iCal from backups,
    launch itunes, synchronized iPhone ( for calendar on iMac iCal to replace calendar in iPhone)
    Nothing, the same , nothing came over from iCal.
    Where is the solution ? hopefully that Apple would have more time to look into this iCal iPhone calendar issue, now that they have come clean on the Antenna issue. Apple really do not need another problem Calendargate.
    Hope Apple resolve this by this week, I have been spending sleepless hours late in the night, trying everything. Somehow, I think this is a problem with iOS4.0, 4.01

  • Lost Wiki calendars after upgrade to 10.6.4

    Hi,
    After upgrade my clients to 10.6.4 we are not be able to connect to our Wiki calendars using iCal client.
    The original path was:
    /principals/wikis/WIKI-NAME/
    But now it says the client is not able to connect to:
    /principals/_uids_/8a8be0fd-f969-5760-bef6-a73ad4ae3aa1/
    If we recreate the subscription, the first time iCal is able to access to the calendar data, using the original path, but after close and restart the client, it modifies the path and uses the new path value (/principals/_uids_/8a8be0fd-f969-5760-bef6-a73ad4ae3aa1/)
    In the caldavd error log says:
    [AMP,client] [twistedcaldav.directory.principal#error] No principal found for UID: 8a8be0fd-f969-5760-bef6-a73ad4ae3aa1
    We do not have this kind of problems with our Leopard (10.5.8) iCal clients or using the web page.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    A followup from my post here: http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=11686666&stqc=true
    Looking at server debug error logs in Info mode, it appears that when querying for the group's HEX UID, the server does the following process:
    - Creates a wiki record for the GUID in Memcache; the correct data appears to be passed from the wiki entry
    - Checks state of GUID, fails to find it
    - Removes memcache data
    - Returns "Not Found" to the client
    Anyone know why the Twisted is failing to successfully create the Memcache entry?
    This is the log of the events dealing with the targetted UID:
