Lost iCal entries following iCloud registration

I installed Lion on my iMac and on the next day registered for iCloud. Immediately all data in iCal disappeared. Calendar was empty in iCloud also. Have tried to recover data through Time Machine, but unsuccessful.

iCloud is turned on. To expand; when I registered to iCloud and went to iCal on my Mac all the entries, except for birthdays and holidays, disappeared. Also missing were the the eight of so "calendars" that I had, there only being the generic empty Calendar and Home calendars of a totally new iCal.
I am connected to iCloud and it is working; when I make an entry on my Mac it shows up in iCloud.
My question is how and why did this happen and is there any way of recovering all my entries and calendars?

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.

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.

Recover lost iCal information through iCloud (or Time Machine?)

I recently had the misfortune of accidentally deleting all of my iCal events on my iPhone. I was using Awesome Note and saw that my calendar events appeared in the app, and not wanting them there, attempted to delete them out. Little did I know that this action would affect my phone's iCal events - and because I'm hooked up to iCloud I no longer have the events now on my computer or iCloud account online. I do have Time Machine running but have been unsuccessful so far in recovering my events via that route. I see that my iTunes says it backs my iPhone up to iCloud but I have no idea how to recover this data. HELP! Isn't this iCloud/Time Machine supposed to make it easy to fix a problem like this??

I can't seem to update icloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar. Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...

Pardon my ignorance. I have scoured the forums and no one seem to touch on the exact subject I am talking about.
I can't seem to update iCloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar with all connectivity turned on (sync,push,pull,slap whatsoever).
Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud (sluggishly and not due to connection problem, so i'd nice to have a status bar telling me whether or not it's active and doing some updating) so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...
Simplified version:
-Events created on the iphone doesnt get on icloud.
-When iphone is synced with ical on mac and changes are made on Mac, changes are not immediately reflected on iphone unless clicked "sync"
-I just want to view a live ical at all times without going to safari and opening up the web iCal. I want to view a 100% live iCal on the native iCal via iPhone. Like google docs! Is that too much to ask!?
Iphone seemed to have a "push" or "sync in this many minutes" option for iCal, but that seemed like it's only receiving changes, and not send out changes made via phone. Very confusing, very annoying!

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

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.....

ICloud is randomly deleting iCal entries

At several points over the past week, I thought my calendar appeared unusually "thinned out". Then last night I noticed an appointment I had been delaying for a while was nowhere to be seen.
At first I thought it may be somewhere on my calendar, a week back or so. This is because I had been rescheduling that appointment often, so I had moved it back, a day here and a day there, every week for the past month or so. I knew the exact title of the entry so I did a search for it.
It was gone. Apparently deleted. I refreshed everything and even checked my iPad & iPhone calendars for it Nothing...
I blamed myself, re-created the entry, and moved on. At this time I also made several new entries and planned my week. Then today I went back to my calendar on my Mac, opened iCal, saw the appointments for today, that I entered last night, disappear before my very eyes. I then picked up my iPhone to view the calendar there, and they were gone.
Next I picked up my iPad and turned off Wi-Fi as quickly as possible. Once Wi-Fi was disconnected and I was no longer online, I opened iCal and there were my appointments. There were five different instances of appointments scheduled last night that we're now deleted and gone. This is important because it rules out an accidental deletion. I took a screen grab to preserve my data, and went looking for answers. I found none.
I'm freaked out. I live & die by my iCal and I'm worried this has happened before where maybe I didn't notice.
The only recent change I can possibly link to this iCloud synced iCal, is that I allowed an app called FlightTrack Pro to "Sync with iCloud". Which is relatively reassuring, only because it was a fairly new addition, therefore decreasing the likelihood that there were problems in the past. IF its this access causing the deletions.
Any ideas?

I had the exact same thing happen several times. I too independently concluded that it could only be the updated FlightTrack Pro App feature as you stated. It was the only new thing on my devices. My Apple tech support expert told me to read your entry. I agree and disabled the 'SYnc with iCloud' feature. But I'm still allowing the 'SYnc with Calendar' option. But if the iCal entries that I just made disappear again, I will then disable that button on FT Pro. A major pain.

Why isn't iCloud pushing iCal entries to iPhone?

I have enabled iCloud on my iPad and new iPhone. When I enter a calendar entry on my iPhone, it syncs with the iPad, but when I enter iCal entries on the iPad, they don't show up on my iPhone calendar. Anyone else experience this? Have I missed something in setup?
Thanks

THat the previous owners can track me or know where I live through there ICloud accounts, I don't know who they are as my iPad was brought from a 2nd hand
TRader, I cloud seems a bit dodgy to me ?or is there way to stop previous accounts from tracking me ?brought item legit, so not comfortable knowing strangers could know where I live & when I'm not home with my iPad.
Why don't you erase the iPad, then it will actually be 'yours'

My iPhone 4s lost most (but not all) of my iCal entries. Where did they go? How do I get them back?

The person that found them has deleted them on the phone so you iCal is gone is what I can figure.

After iCloud upgrade i have duplicate iCal entries (iPhone is ok). Why?

After I upgraded to iCloud I now have duplicate iCal entries! My iPhone does not have duplicates which is good. In iTunes I AM NOT syncing my iCal.
Thanks

MyFord, Mirek,
I have the same problem on iMac: some iCal entries duplicated, some triplicated, and some quadruplicated...
If I change the colour of the On My Mac Calendars, right click on calendar, select Get Info, I can identify those entries, all single.
Do the same on the iCloud Calendars, and the second and third entries on the day (Month View) change colour.
So, the iCloud entries on the iMac are duplicated...
iCal on my iPhone is OK, only a single entry...
Where do I go from here...
I suspect the first thing I should do is back up On My Mac Calendars.
What next?
Robert
Backup the On My Mac calendars (in iCal, File>Export>iCal Archive) and then delete them from iCal

TS3999 How can I restore an earlier iCal version from iCloud?

I have lost all my iCal entries in all linked devices after my computer crashed a couple of times. Can I restore an earlier version from iCloud? I cannot find any earlier versions in the Calendar Cache on my computer.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Do you have a back up of your device that you know contains your celendars.

Resolving duplicate calendars

Why have iCal entries suddenly appeared in duplicate for every month?

My iPhones and iPad are synced with my iMac via iCloud. All devices work perfectly except iCal on my iMac shows all entries in duplicate.
Adding a new entry shows up as a duplicate in the iMac but as a single entry on all other devices (which is correct)

I can't import .ics meeting requests to iCal (currently using iCloud)

I can't import .ics meeting requests to iCal (currently using iCloud). Every time I drop it in or double click or import it it just doesn't show up. Is there a way round this or a setting I've not set up correctly?

Greetings Gillian,
Try dragging one of these invites out of Mail to the desktop. It should show up with a ".ics" extension as you indicate in your post. Double-click this file and see if iCal launches and offers you the invite in the lower left corner (or anywhere else for that matter).
If nothing happens when you double-click the file from the desktop try the following:
__Create a new user account on the Mac: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
__Put the .ics file you dragged to the desktop into Macintosh HD > Users > Shared
__Log out of the current user and login as the new user you created
__Go to Macintosh HD > Users > Shared in the new user and drag the .ics file to the desktop
__Double-click the file on the desktop and see if iCal opens and offers to add the invite
Let us know the results.
