Lost ical entries after sync.

After I performed a sync the other day all my new appointments that I had imputed into my iphone were erased. There is no record of them on the phone or on my mac. I'm really distressed because I lost my ENTIRE work schedule. Can any one tell me how to fix this? Can I recover the data? Or can I at least prevent this from happening again?
Thanks.

This has happened to both me and my wife. We both have iPhone 3g; I have a PowerBook G4 and she has a MacBook Pro, both running OS 10.4.11. When entries are made to the iPhone calendar, they sometimes disappear upon syncing to Mac iCal. Very frustrating. Any help out there? Makes me want to go back to my Palm. At least that would warn if there were appointments that had been modified in both locations, and it NEVER erased entries.

  • Duplicate iCal entries after sync

    My sister just bought a Verizon iPhone, and did a sync using iTunes. Her iPhone is fine. But her iCal now has duplicate entries for every date. First off, how do i clear all those out, and second, what do you think went wrong?

    How long has she had the iPhone?
    Did she sync the iPhone with iTunes right away before manually entering any calendar events on her iPhone, or did she manually enter a number of calendar events on her iPhone before syncing? If the latter, are only the calendar events she manually entered on her iPhone duplicated in iCal on her Mac? If so, how many calendar events was she able to manually enter on her iPhone before syncing with iTunes and iCal since she purchased the iPhone?
    If iCal is used - iCal includes calendar events and so does the iPhone before the first sync for this data, a merge prompt should be provided with the first sync for this data. The other option is replacing whatever calendar events are available on the iPhone with what is available in iCal.
    First step, reset the sync history on her Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application.
    Next, remove all duplicate calendar entries in iCal on her Mac. Certainly there can't be that many calendar entries that were manually entered on her iPhone before the first sync with iCal.
    When iCal is cleaned up - all duplicates removed, under the Info tab for her iPhone sync preferences with iTunes below the Advanced section at the bottom, select Calendars for replace info on this iPhone. Select Apply followed by a sync.

  • Lost calendar events after sync

    after syncing my mac book air with my iphone 4 i lost all my past and future calendar events on my macbook and iphone.
    I have backups on time capsule:
    Q: how do i recover my approx 900 calendar events from time capsule into my calendar on macbook without copy and paste 900 of them into their respective date on my now empty calendar?
    appreciate help

    I can't get my iPhone 3GS to sync calendars with either iCal or Outlook.  Everything I entered into my iPhone calendar is GONE. The data I previously entered into and synced from my iPhone is still in my Outlook calendar, which used to sync seamlessly, but I can't get iCal to import the Outlook calendar, either (my assumption being that the iPhone would be more apt to sync to an Apple device more than a Microsoft application). The only calendar events that sync from my Mac Pro to my iPhone are the few that are in iCal.  Office 2011 for Mac just had a big update, too - I wonder if there are multiple culprits here. 

  • Double Calendar Entry after Syncing

    After syncing today, I now have double entries on my device.  They are all future appointments that were on Outlook, not ones I had entered on the device.  When I try to delete one says "appointment deleted externally.  Changes will be lost and the viewer closed."
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you have the Calendar perfect in outlook follow this steps, after this you have the calendar perfect.
     If you are having errors in your Calendar on your BlackBerry, and you wish to delete the entire Calendar database on your BlackBerry, follow the directions below. Make certain you have a good copy of your Calendar or Contacts elsewhere, as this procedure will complete delete ALL Calendar entries on your BlackBerry.
    1. Open Desktop Manager on your PC.
    2. Open up Backup/Restore > Advanced.
    3. From Advanced you'll see a split pane screen. The left pane is what is going to be backed up from your device and the right is a list of the currently existing databases.
    3. Highlight on the right side your Calendar database and click the arrow in the middle pointing to the left. This will copy the information over and prepare it for back-up.
    4. Once the back-up has completed, hit the Clear button at the bottom to erase and clean out the entire Calendar database.
    5. After it's finished, it will ask you if you want to save the back-up you've created, say yes and check the device to make sure the calendar has been properly cleared out. Now, resync the necessary contact information and you should be set to go.

  • Double Calendar Entries after sync

    Ok so I upgraded to 3.0 for my 1st generation iPod touch, and after the sync (I have mobile me too) I now have two iCal entries for each event. Double events. Now when I open iCal there is only one, but when I open calendar on my iPod touch there are two listing for each event. How can I fix this?

    Hopefully my answer is the correct one because this is what I think it is.
    Open your calendar app on the touch. Above the month/year should be the words "All Calendars". To the left should be the arrow for Calendars. Touch that. You should see a tab near the top that says "All Calendars" with the arrow pointing to the right.
    Just below that should be a new section called "From My Mac" with the calendars listed from iCal. If you scroll down you should now see another section called .Mac. This too should contain all your calendars. If you touch either the "All .Mac" or the "All from My Mac" tab, you should only see the single listings you're looking for.
    I don't understand why there should be both sets of calendars. Wouldn't they both be the same?
    Hope this helps.

  • Duplicate ical entries after upgrade to icloud

    Hi,
    Have no idea why this has happened, but basically I have been syncing using itunes manually via a cable, got the email from Apple to upgrade, went through the process, now its all on icloud, but I have noticed I have dupliate ical entries.
    what is the best way to sort this out now?

    ok, I just used the app iCal Dupe Deletor and it found 500 dupes, went through and deleted them all
    BUT.... when iCal updated to icloud, it just brought them all back from what I can see and they are all there again
    whats the best fool-proof way of sorting this?
    pleeeease there, so close but yet so far.....

  • Lost photo library after syncing atv

    i seem to have lost my iphoto library after syncing it to atv...after syncing, a "choose library" tab pops up with folders not related to my library...is this possible? or could i have deleted them accidentally?

    sounds like your iphoto library is not in you pictures folder - spotlight iPhoto Library and see where it is
    Once you find it quit iPhoto and restart with the option (alt) key depressed and use the select library option and point to its location

  • How to eliminate duplicate calendar entries after sync with iCloud ?

    I just upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS5 and set up sync through iCloud. Now all my iCal entries appear twice on the iPhone, even though they appear only once on my Mac mini (running Lion).
    How do I stop this happening? And how do I get a clean calendar on the iPhone?
    Neil

    Ok, I solved my own problem. I thought I had unchecked "Sync Calendar" in iTunes on the Mac mini, but it turns out I had not. As soon as I unchecked that box and let the system delete that calendar, all the duplicate entries went away.

  • ITunes deleted all my iCal entries on syncing

    Turned on syncing for iCal and with no prompting or nag asking "Do you really want to do this?" it promptly wiped out all my iCal entries on my iPhone.
    How exactly is this user-friendly?????
    What happened to the concept of do no harm?
    Since when did sync mean delete?
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Did you have any entries in iCal on your Mac? If so, you would have been prompted to Merge the data, unless you have very few calendar entries - the default is a prompt is more than 5% of the data will be changed. But, if iCal was empty, events on the iPhone are simply deleted. Even one event would have been enough. Next time, you know.

  • How to recover lost phone contacts after Sync ?

    My Nokia 6230 was full of contacts.
    My MacBook Pro adress book was empty.
    After syncing, my phone is empty... I have no backup !
    When iSync deletes a contact from the phone, does it store the information somewhere on the mac before ?
    Is there any chance for me to recover my phone numbers ?
    Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Your contacts are not backed up as they are removed - they are simply removed. Unless you had previously backed up the contents of your mobile handset in some manner, there is no possibility of recovering your records.
    iSync executed what it believed you wanted it to do: a command to replace the contents of your mobile handset with the contents of an empty Address Book, rather than merge records from the two devices. Generally, you are given a choice of Merge or Replace when performing a first-time synchronization.

  • Lost ical entries

    Reinstalled system software on my eMac recently. It wiped out all the ical calendar entries. I recently bought an ibook and transferred everything from the eMac, icncluding the calendar, so I have backup data. However when using Migration Assistant from the eMac to ibook, I noticed it appeared to transfer everything, files, application, settings, etc, regardless of what i selected to be transferred.
    I was able to trnasfer most info back to the eMac via CD-ROM,. Anyone have a suggesion for transferring just the ical entries back to eMac??

    two choices:
    1) Export the calendars on the ibook; move them to the eMac then import them
    2) On the iBook in iCal in the file menu, choose "Back up Database..." then move this backup to the emac and there choose "Revert to Database Backup..." selecting the iBook backup you just moved.
