Recovering lost ical events after accidentally Syncing with Entourage

This question seems to be in reverse to many of the posts I have read. I have always used ical as my calendar, however recently decided to use the Entourage program. When importing the my mail, I accidentally navigated to the sync portion of the import, I read the options and thought that I was going to sync ical to Entourage. It seems I did the reverse, Entourage wiped out my ical events.
Is there a library/system file which can recover the ical evetns?
Also since I am already on this page? all my mail files moved from apple mail to Entourage, but not the inbox of read items. Can these be moved?
Thanks for any help, hopefully I have not lost these items.

If you have made an iTunes or iCloud backup containing the Calendar events you can restore from that otherwise, if you deleted them with no backup, they are gone.

Lost ical events after daylight savings

Just woke up and my ical is blank. I've tried looking at my icloud account and that is blank too. i have also turned off my phone and restarted it still all blank. Any suggestions on how to retrieve my ical events, current and past back?

Quit iCal.
Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist. Look for a line called "delete events". If it exists, set the value to "No" by clicking on it.
If the line does not exist, close the plist file and drag it to the desktop.
After either of the above steps, open iCal and create a test event older than 90 days and see if it keeps it.
Hope that helps

How can I get my original bookmarks back after accidentely syncing with a new Firefox installation?

I've installed Firefox sync on a new netbook running Ubuntu and it worked at first, it synced my bookmarks from my PC to the netbook with no problems.
However yesterday it decided to sync the original bookmarks on the netbook with my PC and now I've lost all of my original 100+ bookmarks, they still appear in the URL bar when I type in the keywords for a particular bookmark but not in the bookmarks menu.
How can I stop Firefox sync from repressing my actual bookmarks? How can I return the situation to how it was before using this addon?

See [[Replace your Sync information]] but read the cautions carefully.
* also see [[firefox Sync is not working]]
It is always a useful precaution to make manual bookmarks backups
* see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
The above article also explains about the autobookmark backups that firefox generates, but be sure to make manual backups as you work, it is very easy to overwrite the wrong set of backups.
I am not entirely certain what firefox is doing in your case, perhaps the synced Netbook does not have the expected set of bookmarks on it.
Presumably sync may be uninstalled or disabled like any other add-on
*see [[Uninstalling add-ons]]

Ical - deleted events prevent from syncing with missing sync

When I try to sync ical with my windows mobile 5.0 running Motorola Q via Missing Sync, I always encounter an error message that one of my ical-events prevents Missing Sync from an error-free sync.
This message comes up when I start Missing Sync: "iCal is reporting synchronization errors. One or more calendar events may not have synchronized properly from iCal. Errors may prevent this application from completing a successful synchronization."
The Missing Sync Protocoll rerfers to an event which I did already delete. So here's the question: how do I really get rid of a ical event which I have already deleted?

Same here. After the update to 10.5 I have succesfully done one sync between my Treo and iCal using MissingSync. Now iCal gives an error, see below. What is the workaround? Downgrading to 10.4.x? Or get an iCal 2 somewhere and run that?
I really want to get my ToDo and Calendar data from my Treo before I go from my Treo 650 to an iPhone. Any workaround is welcome.

Hi I lost my stuff from iTunes after I synced with my iTouch

Hi, I don't know if anyone else may have experienced this problem but I lost all my content from iTunes after I synced with my iTouch, but I had a message saying that my iTouch was authorized from a different user but I authorized it on my account but when it synced, I had lost all my music, videos, and apps that I had in my iTunes library. I have all my stuff in my iTouch. All of my content are still in the iTunes folder, but I see the XML document of the iTunes Library (where all my information is), and 7 Temp. Files in the iTunes folder as well. Is there a way to get all of my content back in place?
Thanks,
Jose

Syncing an iDevice with a computer does not cause the content on the computer to disappear.
Was there actually content in the iTunes library prior to syncing?
Are the files still on the computer?
In the iTunes folder, are there multiple iTunesLibrary.itl files, like an old copy(ies)?

ICal will no longer sync with macmini still syncs with iPhone, iPod and another mac...what happened?

iCal will no longer sync with wife's mac mini. It works with our iPhone, iPod and and older G5 tower. I am using an iMac. Nothing shows up on the mobile me calendar in her office. I have been unable to get the shared calendar to open on her machine. All had been well until yesterday.
Thanks for any help.

I did restore from back-up as well. And I had thought of restoring my iPod to factory settings however...I just got my mother-in-law's old iPhone 3GS. Upon getting it from her I restored it to factory settings. After having the problems tonight syncing my iPod to iTunes I tried syncing the iPhone. It started out fine, showing it as a new device and setting it up. It shows both devices on my iTunes and then when I went to sync it I got the error message that none of the songs could be copied from my iTunes because they could not be found. But they all clearly show up in my iTunes. I had done this before when I was having the issue with my books and then I had deleted them all from iTunes and readded a few that I wanted to put on my iPod and it still wouldn't sync them. So I really don't want to take absolutely everything off my iPod and restore it to factory only to be unable to add anything from my iTunes ever again as is the case with the iPhone.

How to clear all details in iCal before syncing with Entourage?

Deary me! I have been back and forth to iCal and Entourage trying to find which would be best. I have decided that Entourage will suffice - although not perfect by any means. In the meantime I have completely jammed up my iCal and daren't not try syncing Entourage yet otherwise I will never understand it and my iphone will be full of toot! Anyone know how to clear all details in iCal before syncing with Entourage? (Happy Sundays!!)

Answer .... delete all calendars in iCal but leave the Entourage one there! Don't delete that as there will be big trouble!

Why the removed flag will be resumed after re-sync with MS Exchange server (2010)

Dear Sir:
     I had a big problem using Lion mail application. I like the program since it's quite simple and useful. But this problem makes me not able to work with Lion mail program continaully.
     In Lion mail, I import my office mail account which based on MS Exchange server 2010. I just found some mails (sorry I cannot fina any rule) which ever be flagged, when I try to un-flag them. The flag status will come back after re-sync with mail server. But the status doesn't happen with all mails I had. One thing I can confirm is, the "specific" mail doesn't be marked with any status after I checked them using Outlook application (both Mac Office 2011 or Windows Office 2010). Have you ever received similar feedback? Please help me to resolve this issue ASAP. Thank you.

When the original message is accessed using IMAP, the reply method uses the information in the
IMAP ENVELOPE to determine where to send the reply. It first looks for the Reply-To address
in the ENVELOPE, then the From address.
Interestingly, when not using IMAP, the getFrom method returns the Sender header if the From
header is empty. The IMAP-specific code doesn't do that, although perhaps it should.
It would be interesting to compare the ENVELOPE data from the protocol trace in the two cases.
The ENVELOPE data will follow this syntax:
envelope     = "(" env-date SP env-subject SP env-from SP
          env-sender SP env-reply-to SP env-to SP env-cc SP
          env-bcc SP env-in-reply-to SP env-message-id ")"
So it's the first three address fields after the Subject that are relevant. If the From and Reply-To
fields are NIL, but the Sender field has a valid address, let me know. I should probably fix the
IMAP provider to fall back to the Sender field if the From field is missing.

ICal mysteriously no longer syncs with my iPhone 3gs via iTunes sync

My iCal mysteriously no longer syncs with my iPhone 3gs via iTunes sync. It worked great until about a month ago. I've made over 300 Calendar changes to my iPhone 3gs' Calendar, but not a single item has synced back to my iCal on my iMac, when I sync my iTunes (which I do almost daily). In addition, I've created some items on my iCal, as a test, and none of them sync onto my iPhone 3gs.
What gives? Ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

Well, I was able to manually sync my iPhone to my iCal one time, but haven't been able to get it to sync Calendar info since then. It was moderately successful, so I could export an iCal backup file. However, I ended up with about 200 MORE duplicate items on my iPhone, and what's weird is that many of these duplicates do NOT have any "edit" functionality! So I a, stuck with them being on the day they are at right now. Grrrrrr

An extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes

I am having this problem which appears to be happened after i sync with my computer. In the contact group, there is an extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes, and even though now i stop syncing already, the group is still there. Can anyone here give me some suggestion on how to remove this group permantly, i not just wanted to remove the contacts but the entire group form appearing on my iphone. Thanks.

Is the app compatible with the iPhone (e.g. it's not and iPad-only app), and do you have the relevant iOS version on the phone ? Or do you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps set 'off' on the phone which will stop new apps being installed ?

Ipod v1.2 upgrade automatically starts playing songs after every sync with

Hi,
My problem is rather unique and certainly one i hadnt forseen. My iPod starts playing a 'smart playlist' i recently made with itunes 7 after every sync with the computer...the issue is that it starts after 30-40 mins of disconnection from my PC. this is very infurating since i am hardly around to check if it is playing or not. Mostly i find out about it a couple of hours after my last sync with PC. I have tried activating 'hold' button to make sure there is no outside influence however, it does this through a locked drawer!
I hope someone can help me out or include this in the next 'patch/bug fix' for iTunes/ipod

Anyone want to help at all? This is getting a little ridiculous. Honestly, with all the problems I've been having, especially with itunes, I really don't think I'm ever going to buy an apple product again.

Problems Syncing with Entourage!!!

I used to have a t-mobile MDA, and I switched to an iPhone in September because I was told that it would sync with Entourage on my iMac (unlike the MDA). At first, it worked fine, but now it's a complete mess. My entourage calendar is completely fine, but then as soon as iCal opens up to sync, it makes duplicates (or even quadruplicates) of all day events, resurects deleted appointments from the dead, changes times on appointments, and sometimes, completely deletes everything. It then dumps all this back into entourage (or deletes everything from entourage), overriding the sync settings even when I have it set not to sync the two programs at all. I have spent hours on the phone with apple, and hours at the genius bar. we've updated everything, installed patches, and completely reinstalled the operating system, iCal, and sync services. Can anyone help? I desperately need the calendaring to work, or else that was 400$ down the drain to switch to the iPhone. Will upgrading to Leopard fix the problem?

applenewbie821,
Entourage syncs with SyncServices, and the data is read from there by iTunes.
iTunes 7.3 and later also include SyncServices as a middle place for syncing with Outlook. The data is read from Outlook's PST file into SyncServices, and updated from Syncservices into the PST file. Then iTunes reads it from SyncServices, and updates it back to SyncServices. Since iTunes is the only thing that uses SyncServices, the option to "Reset Sync History" shows up in iTunes preferences on a Windows-based PC.
Entourage needs to be 11.3.5 or later. If you have Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac, then the update is free download from Microsoft. If you are using Office .X, you will need Office 2004 for Mac. if you have 11.3.5 or later you will have a SyncServices option in Entourage. Entourage will send the data to SyncServices, and read updated data from SyncServices. Then iTunes read it from SyncServices, and updates it back to SyncServices. .Mac, Entourage, iDisk, iSync, and many others use SyncServices. iSync is the front end for reseting Sync History.
iCal and Address Book also read from SyncServices and will show the same data.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Not syncing with Entourage

Lately when I delete an email from Entourage on my desktop, it remains on my iPhone until I manually delete it. This just started happening -- when I first set up the phone to sync with Entourage and Mac Mail, when I would delete an email it would disappear off the phone immediately.
I just restarted my phone and it seemed to go back to working normally. Is this just something that happens from time to time, and restarting is the key? Or is there something I can do to avoid having to delete the same emails twice? It would appear that everything is set correctly in the preferences of both the iPhone and Entourage, so maybe this is just a one-time glitch.
Any thoughts? Anyone?

Hi:
In case anyone is interested in how i resolved this issue:
i decided to check the veracity of the Entourage database by verifying and repairing the database, even though Entourage was otherwise behaving well. The verification resulted in some found issues, and the repairing took the database from being 5.9GB to about 3.5GB, which was interesting. I then toggled off and back on again the sync services to iCal, whereupon iCal became re-populated with my calendar data.
