Many contacts and calendar events have disappeared

Many of my contacts and calendar events have suddenly disappeared. Can they be retrieved?

Mine too. I have a J Home and J Work calendar. The J Home calendar is completely gone and had all my personal events. I checked iCloud and it is gone there. No one has access except me. I opened my calendar on my iphone this afternoon to add an appt for my son. The data was there and basically disappeared in front of my eyes. I didn't touch the calendars menu until everything was gone so it wasn't me. I'm losing my mind right now. Everything is gone...just gone.
I just noticed my wife's shared calendars also no longer appear on my phone or iCloud. Both of her calendars appear on her iCloud and they still say they are shared with me. That's just f****n great. iCloud broke something and I'm the one to suffer. I'll bet anything Apple won't do anything to help as they don't back up iCloud data. I'm sure they do as they are required by law, but they won't admit it. SONOFA!!!!

  • I can't access my hotmail from my iPad and my contacts and calendar content have disappeared?!

    When I set up my iPad my hotmail, calendar and contacts were automatically synced with my iPhone. All of a sudden that connection seems to be lost and I can't access my hotmail account (although I can send an email) and my contacts and calendar are empty on the iPad. I have tried deleting the hotmail and reinstalling but nothing changed. I have also reset the iPad twice but that didn't make a difference either. Please help! I haven't got a clue so as simple language as possible :-) Thank you!

    Wow.  That's weird.
    Is your iPad jailbroke?  If it is, all bets are off.  If it is not jailbroke, keep reading.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • My contacts and calendar content have disappeared. How do I get them back?

    My contacts and calendar content has completely disappeared from my phone, but it is all still on my MacBook. Any ideas on how to get them back to my phone? I'm thinking something went wrong with my iCloud.

    It's hard to say what would cause that but I doubt you are doing anything wrong.  They only way you could intentionally make you contacts or calendars disappear is if you either turn off iCloud syinc for contacts and calendars in Settings>iCloud or signed out of your account.
    If it continues to happen, you might want to completely sign out of your account, then sign back in.  To do this, you would want to start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in.

  • My contacts and calendar events disappeared from my iPad! How can I retrieve them??

    My contacts and calendar events disappeared from my iPad. Can they be retrieved?

    BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
    BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
    Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
    For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
    Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

  • I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

    I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

    Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
    The calendar however,  is not easy to use.
    The typing function on the phone has  become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

  • Google contacts and calendar events entered on my iPhone 5s are not syncing with my google account.

    Newly entered contacts and calendar events entered on my IPhone 5s are not syncing to google.
    Facts that may be pertinent:
    - I switched from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5s and did the easy option of having it automatically set up like my previous phone, so I did not change any part of the setup. It is possible that it stopped syncing at that time, based on which contacts have synced and which haven't.
    - My gmail account is set up as Exchange, with Mail, Contacts, and Calendars set to sync.
    - Server: m.google.com, Use SSl is on, S/MIME is off (I don't actually know what these are, but maybe they matter?)
    - Fetch New Data / Gmail account is set to Push
    - Contacts and Calendar Default Account is Gmail
    - In the Contacts app under Groups I have only GMAIL checked.
    I've read that Google recommends CardDAV, which I gather is not the same as Exchange?
    I'm afraid to delete anything and start over, for fear of losing my contacts.
    Is there a difference between the gmail account I set up and what the Contacts app calls GMAIL?
    If there is anything I should communicate about how things are set up on the Google end, let me know.
    Thanks in advance for help!

    Hello Marsden,
    Try this...
    Go to the isync program on your Mac. 
    Go to Preferences in the main menu
    Hit Reset Sync History
    I'm pretty sure this is how I fixed it... so far so good.
    Let me know if that works for you!

  • HT4436 Why don't all my contacts and calendar events on my iMac (version 10.7.4) stream onto iCloud? For instance, there are 470 entries in my address book but only 270 on iCloud. And not all my appointments in iCal are transferred.

    Why don't all my contacts and calendar events on my iMac (version 10.7.4) stream onto iCloud? For instance, there are 470 entries in my address book but only 270 on iCloud. And not all my appointments in iCal are transferred either.
    I have the same problem transfering Address book on iMac to contacts on iPhone (old version 3G - on iCloud). this is a hard wired connection

    Might you have 200 entries in On My Mac groups and some of your appointments in On My Mac calendars?

  • I've lost the contacts and calendar events from my 3GS after setting up iCloud with iPad3 and PC Outlook.  Any solutions?

    I've lost the contacts and calendar events (& email) from my 3GS after setting up iCloud with iPad3 and PC Outlook.  Any solutions?
    I tried to re-synch it with the PC iTunes, but no luck, even when re-checking the boxes for Outlook...

    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.

  • In setting up ICloud on my new Iphone 4s, I lost most of my calendar events in my Outlook 7 calendar.  I used to have MobileMe but in the set-up process was told to turn that off which I did but now most of my calendar events have disappeared

    In setting up ICloud on my new Iphone 4s, I lost most of my calendar events in my Outlook 7 calendar in my Vista PC.  I used to have MobileMe but in the set-up process was told to turn that off, which I did but now most of my calendar events have disappeared after syncing with ICloud.  How can I get my missing calendar events back?  They are still on my 3Gs Iphone which I have not yet updated to IOS5.
    Thanks for any help.

    Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

  • All Contacts and Calendars entries have disappreared

    All my Contacts and Calendar entries have suddenly disappeared from my iPhone4S, and the phone won't allow me to make any new Calendar entries. I've tried restoring from a back-up on my PC, but I get a messsage on iTunes on the PC saying no back-up is stored there, although I'm looking at the iTunes screen telling me when the last back-up was made.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    TIA

    I have the exact same problem and it drives me mad - thanks for letting me know if you find a solution. Here is what I will try: export all my contacts from where they are in the pst file in outlook then "try" to reimport them in the ost file (exchange). I noticed indeed that if I create a contact in the ost file, it does get pushed over to itunes.
    But there seems to be no way of telling itunes which outlook data file to use in priority, and if you select it as default in outlook you wipe out the content of your mail file on the exchange server. Not great.

  • HT1296 When syncing to ipod and ipad i get duplicate contacts and calendar events

    Probllems syncing contacts and calendare events. I get dups and triplicates

    How are you syncing? Are you syncing through itunes, icloud or both? Most issues come from syncing the same data/content from more than one source.

  • Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

    Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ?  I already actualize LION OSX   and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

    Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

  • All of my contacts and calendar information has disappeared. How do I get it back?

    All of my contacts and calendar information has disappeared. This is not the first time this has happened, and when it happened in the past I just turned on my contacts in the iCloud in "settings." This didn't work this time and I was curious if anyone can help me restore the missing info. and/or tell me why they randomly disappear every now and then.

    It's hard to say what would cause that but I doubt you are doing anything wrong.  They only way you could intentionally make you contacts or calendars disappear is if you either turn off iCloud syinc for contacts and calendars in Settings>iCloud or signed out of your account.

  • Contacts and calendar events disappearing and reappearing

    I have three issues, two of which I think are related.
    1.
    My contacts disappear on my iPhone 3G. I am set up with MobileMe to auto sync and I don't know if that is getting screwed up somehow? The contact are on my Mac lap top when I go look (thank goodness), and I force a sync and they transfer to my phone fine. This has happened twice now. I have copied my contacts as vCards and saved that file in the downloads folder just in case they get lost on both my laptop and my iPhone - I also do a regular full laptop backup to my Time Machine - is there anything else I should be doing to back up my contact and calendar data?
    2. (possibly related to 1.)
    When I am looking at my iCal in the weekly view on my laptop, sometimes several of my appointments are not visible. It is only when I try to put an appointment in that is at the same time as the invisible ones that they suddenly reappear.
    3. One of my contacts will not sync from my iPhone to my lap top? It used to be in both places but for some reason it is now only on my iPhone and even when I sync, it doesn't come into my laptop Address Book.
    Help please!!!

    i am having what i think is a very similar problem in that my Exchange (you seem to use only mobileme) contacts partially disappear. i discover this when i check my sms message list and find that many messages show only the phone number when earlier the name was there. a check of the contacts list shows that some have disappeared.
    i restarted the phone and checked immediately but it was still gone but after a few minutes they came back.
    my theory is that something is going on with messy exchange server syncs with my iphone that could be causing the process to break midway but after a while the phone automatically syncs again.
    this issue appears quite rarely for me but enough to be noticed and to be annoying.
