Palm Zire 31 lost all calendar appointments

When I opened the Palm on my PC today, all appointments on the calender were gone. Events with no time at the top of each day still appear. The contacts list is still intact. My portable unit is working but it was last hotsynced a week ago.

I had the same problem--randomly disappearing data--and I emailed Palm about it from this site several weeks ago. They never responded. I finally called Palm tech support (since I'm still within 90 days of purchase, I didn't have to pay for it). The guy I spoke to, who was very helpful, asked me if I'd had a Palm before, which I had; the new machine was a replacement for my old one. He correctly surmised that the problem was the result of my Desktop software having reached maximum data. He had me purge the old date (Pick a date in the calender for which you want to purge all prior entries; go to Tools; pick "Purge Events"; Choose "Delete events older than 1 week" and hit "OK.") It worked, thank God, 'cause I'm fed up with missing appointments!
Maybe this solution is way obvious and you've all tried it with no success, but I thought I'd put it out there, 'cause it worked for me.

I lost all my appointments on my iPhone calendar. What can I do.

I lost all my appointments on my iPhone calendar. What can I do? Why did this happen? How can I prevent it from happening again? FYI: I am on the cloud.

Thank you for reaching out, rsweat. Sorry to hear about all of your calendar appointments disappearing from your phone. That is definitely not normal. Do you recall any new updates being downloaded prior to this issues being experienced? Did you have appointments backed up via iCloud or iTunes? You may be able to recover them via a restore.

I lost all calendar events and contacts during iTunes backup

i lost all calendar events and contacts during iTunes backup
I think my wife had an old apple ID on the phone and never backs up her device. She lost all contacts and calendar events. any help?

It would default to whatever account you have set for default. If you were using Exchange, it would sync to that. However, the settings for syncing are set up in iTunes. You would need to check to see what settings were in iTunes for syncing the information. It could be a supported application on the computer, or a cloud service as I said earlier.
On my personal phone, it will default to my iPhone calendar which I sync with Outlook on my computer. I can select the Exchange account if I want, but my default is what I sync with Outlook.

You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. Using 6.2 the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak. For 6.2, the files are located in the username folder in PalmOSdesktop in my documents.
The files for previous versions are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. With Palm Desktop closed, you can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.

Here is another link regarding data loss;

The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.

HT4968 Changed my iCloud password and have lost all calendar entries, how do I get them back?

I changed my iCloud password while working on my PC desktop and now I have lost all my calendar entries on my iPad and iPhone apart from repeat appointment entered prior to the change to iCloud.
How do I get entries back?

If you backup your iPad, the entries may be in your backup but only the entries as of the date of the last backup will be in there. You can try restoring from a backup which will also restore everything in the backup onto the iPad. You can't just select the calandra entries to be restored.

Lost All Calendars after new Upgrade

Being forced to upgrade I tried several times and never had luck. Finally this week I tried and was successful. Everything seemed fine. Today I opened iCal to add and entry. Suddenly all calendars were gone. They appear to be gone on mobile me. (Me.com) as well. I do have time machine back up if need be. I have tried deleting my account in iCal. I tried restarting, I tried typing in commands in the Terminal. I just get two calendars Home & Work with nothing in them.
I am using a Macbook Pro 17 and the latest OS. Everything is up to date.
Any ideas?
M

My experience was similar though not an exact match as I don't believe I lost the calendars on MM. But my recollection could be wrong. I did work through the problem though and was able restore my calendars and haven't had a bit of trouble since at either desktop or MM end.
So here is link to my discussion. Perhaps there is some help here.
Cheers!

Lost all calendar info on Zire 72

turned on computer..clicked Palm desktop icon..error message quickly popped up and disappeared before I could read it or record it and then my calendar appeared and it was completely blank.
any ideas on problem or retrieval??

Depends. The first thing done when you perform a sync, is an iphone backup. Included in that backup are your calendar entries. If you have not synced since your sync that deleted your calendar entries, that data should still be in your iphone backup. To restore it to your phone, first disable auto sync under preferences in itunes(under the edit menu). Then, put one calendar entry in Outlook. Next, connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC, right click the phone in the device pane & select "reset warnings". Next, right click again & select "restore", then select restore from backup. Follow this by syncing your itunes content back to your phone. You should get a popup regarding your calendar asking to merge or replace. Select "merge".

All Calendar appointments shifted 1 hour later after DST went into effect.

After this year's (2011) DST went into effect my wife's and my pre's appointments all shifted one hour later. This was for appointments both before and after March 15 and also for appointments input into both a palm profile and also google appointments. In looking at the forums this appears to have been a problem last year but I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this issue this year. Both of our phones have been running 1.4.5 since it was made available.
I online chatted with customer service and also called. They had me try toggling airplane mode, turning airplane mode off then turning network time and network time zone off manually selecting the mountain time zone and then turning everything back on. They also had me do a data reset on the phone. None of these worked. Lastly they had me manually set the time zone to Chihuahua, Mexico which is on mountain standard time. This shifted the appointments back to their original time but the clock now was off by a hour earlier.

Same problem here. How could they not have this fixed by now? Anyone have the golden answer?

Lost all ical appointments after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Yes, I like Snow Leopard, but it seems to have wiped iCal clean.
Not so nice.

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro Intel laptop to Snow Leopard, and my iCal lost my "personal" and "family" calendars. There is no longer any content in those calendars in username/library/iCal - but there is in "work", "vacation", and another custom calendar. These events in these calendars have also disappeared from MobileMe, with the exception of about 4 or 5 random events over the past couple of years (out of probably thousands in those two calendars over several years, as these were loaded from an Outlook calendar in 2006). Interestingly, all my recent events in the missing calendars are still on my iPhone.
I tried the com.apple.iCal.plist on the desktop suggestion, but this did not recover any content. Any suggestions? Even some ideas about why just these two calendars (with the bulk of my content this year) have been affected, not the others? Very strange (not to mention very frustrating, as I'll have to recreate all of that content, it seems). Thanks.

IPhone 6 lost all calendar entries...all of a sudden hothing shows up. Any ideas?

We were trying to use a family calendar on Outlook.com and my wife was entering items in her iPhone but they weren't showing up on the Outlook calendar...no problem, except that today all the entries on my wife's phone disappeared. No settings were changed, just gone from one moment to the next. Anyone know what could have happened to them? We're talking many, many work, home and personal appointments, tasks, deadlines that will be impossible to replace entirely. Are these stored on the phone and if so, is there a way to get them back? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Furthermore, I can't backup or restore the phone because the passcode is active and Find My iPhone is on respectively. Hooray.

Upgraded from Tiger - Lost all Calendars

I upgraded (Archive and Install) from Tiger where I had about 10 calendars. None of them appear in the new Leopard iCal. This is despite the fact I can see all the data files have been placed in the appropriate Leopard Library folders: Calendars and Application Support > iCal. (None of the iCal files remain in the "Previous Systems" folder that is created when one does an archive and install upgrade.) Though using the Spotlight search method advised by other contributors will work, it's too laborious to do for all my calendars. (The events that do appear for a given calendar are in a different color to what I'd previously used, showing that the preferences were lost - even though no iCal preference files remain in the aforementioned "Previous Systems" folder. There must be an easier way?

Question has been answered. To solve my problem I needed to log out of .Mac through my system preferences. From there, delete all mail accounts from Mail and close out Mail. Go back into system preferences, log into .Mac and check the sync settings. Then do a manual sync to sync everything to my MacBook Pro. This solved my issue because when I originally set up my sync settings after upgrading to Leopard, it never did sync all of my info. This time around it did.
