Recovery of Calendar data lost when Merging with iCloud

I Was wondering if anyone could help.
Basically, I have somehow managed to wipe ALL the entries from my partners iPhone 5c calendar when turning calendars on for iCloud. When prompted I pressed the merge calendars button and then everything disappeared. I turned iCloud calendars off again and the calendar which was called something like "on my iphone" has disappeared.
I downloaded some 3rd party software which scanned the phone and found the calendar entries, but to restore them would cost my £55 for the full version of the software. Is there a way to access this data and restore it without spending this sort of money?
Just to complicate matters, a backup of her phone hasn't been done since the start of june, roughly 7 weeks ago. I'm concerned that if I restore from that backup she'll lose contacts she's added since there along with saves and other updates she's made to apps on her phone, which will put me in even more trouble than I'm in already. I'm guessing the phone hasn't been synced with iTunes since this backup was made, although I have transferred recent purchases.
So, is there a way to recover the calendar data that has disappeared without losing anything else?
Thanks for for your help

Hi
No I hadn't created a Calendar Archive before this mishap (I will now), and I thought it would be covered by the Time Machine Backup. I was activating my iCloud drive for the first time and I think that it was doing this that somehow lost the calendar data. Previously the Calendar data was on the Mac hard drive.
I have now managed to get the old calendar back, but I don't quite know how.
The links to calendar backup in your reply led me to tinker more with the Time Machine, and the data on the My Passport drive directly. I could not see the any calendar directly in Finder or Time Machine, but a Finder search on My Passport's latest backup showed various calendar stuff, including .ics files, in [users/myname/library] which were hidden.
I either restored one of these, or imported one via Calendar. I tried both, but neither seemed to work at the time. However, I reopened Calendar a some time later and found that the “lost” calendar had returned.
I couldn't find a way of revealing hidden files in the preferences, and I think that the library containing the Calendar files must be hidden because I could only see them via “search”.
Anyway, all's well that ends well, but I wish that I really knew how I fixed it. Thanks for your help.

Creating item in shared calendar- it disappears when syncs with icloud!

This has been going on for weeks. When I create a new event on a shared calendar, the edit window closes and I see my appointment listed correctly. A few moments later, as the "updating..." line appears at the top of the screen, the event's title and time disappears and it reverts to my default calendar at a random time during the day (same date). I could create 10 events and the moment it tries to sync to iCloud, they are all GONE! Anyone else notice this from a shared calendar? FWIW- it doesn't do this when I schedule directly on icloud.com, but I find the interface to be a pain in the neck to use regularly. All suggestions welcome.
Thanks!

To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID. Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this. Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.

What does it mean when setting up iCloud that it asks merge with iCloud?

I am setting up iCloud on my phone. It is asking me if I want to "merge with iCloud"? Will I lose contacts or pics if I say "Merge".

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you already have some contacts on your phone when you sign up for iCloud, iCloud will ask you if you wish to keep these contacts on your phone only and start an additional iCloud accounts for contacts, or merge the two accounts together so that all the contacts will be in the new iCloud account.
Nothing will happen to your photos when you sign up for iCloud photos are not involved in this procedure.

HT4759 Contacts on my IOS device will not merge with iCloud.

Despite all aspects of iCloud being turned on, my contacts and calendar entries are not merging with the cloud. Have used trouble shhoting tips to no avail. I am contemplating deleteing the account and starting over.

To get the contacts that belong to your non-iCoud account(s) into iCloud, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your non-iCloud accounts you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap each of the non-cloud accounts that you are syncing contacts with and turn off contacts syncing with these other accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your phone).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud. All your contacts should now be in iCloud.

I cannot get my address book to merge with iCloud?

I cannot get my address book to merge with iCloud?

Yes, the settings all appear to be correct on the Info page in Itunes. I have contacts checked to synch, calendars and mail accounts but only the contacts are not moving to the Iphone.

Calendar is not syncing anymore with iCloud after update to iOS 8.1

I've recently update to IOS 8.1 on my iPhone 6 and the calendar is no longer syncing with iCloud.
Is there any solution to this issue?

same problem here... seems MY only solution that seems to work is to do a hard reboot of iphone and ipad... if I enter an event on ipad, it does not show up on iphone... if I do hard reboot on iphone AFTER entering the event on ipad, it then shows up on iphone... ughhh...

Recovering calendar lost when upgrading to iCloud

So I downloaded the new OS10.8 and in short order screwed up. I lost my iCal data (was running 10.6.8).
I have two Apple ID logins - I had a mobile me account (let lapse by not upgrading OS) and the one for my iTunes purchases, etc. I don't think that is any problem, but when I logged into iCloud to begin to resync everything on my laptop with the new OS, I logged in and the calendar data showed up, but the 'Notes" app said something about which email it would use to send me things, and I decided to log out of iCloud and relogin with my other account (other Apple ID). To log out you have to delete the data from all the apps iCould syncs apparently. Long story short I logged out and back in a few times to try to figure out which data was associated with each login and the behavior of iCloud and wound up throwing away my calendar data from the cloud - which is apparently the 'mother' file that pushes to all devices. Luckily (I hope) I did a time machine back up on an external drive just prior to downloading the new OS, so I should have the iCal data somewhere?? I can't figure out a) if that backup was done under the OS 10.6.8, could I just dig up that file without a total restore? b) is there one file that has all my iCal info in one spot (with multiple calendars)? c.) how do I get that file to the cloud under the new OS 10.8 to be the Mother file and push to all my devices?
Thanks for help in advance.
Thanks,
Chuck

So... you aren't in iCloud forum (there is one), this also is not Mac notebook Community, and it isn't a notebook issue. There is a forum for ML.

NTFS data lost when read on Mac OS X Mountain Lion

I am having external disk with NTFS and using Mac OS X Mountain Lion to work with the data inside the disk.
However I encountered problems when working with those data in Mac, somehow the data inside several directories on NTFS disk are lost.
The data lost was not because it was deleted, the data just lost directly when it was opened on the mac.
From the Mac's Finder, it is said that the size of the directories were zero bytes.
When I connected the disk to windows machine after that then it keep showing 0 byte. The data was lost permanently just after I opened it from Mac - the data was there previously before I openned it in Mac, but right now it's gone.
It's happened two times on different NTFS disks, it seems that Mac OS X deleted those files on NTFS disks.
Has anyone here encounterred the same problems like I did?
How to prevent it from deleting NTFS data again?
Is there any way how to recover those lost NTFS data?

Calendar data disappeared, not resynching with Gmail calendar - help!

All my calendar data just disappeared. I tried resynching with Google Calendar but the only entry to reappear was one I made a few minutes ago. Resynching does not work. The data is still visible in my Google Calendar on my desktop PC. How can I restore it to my iPhone?

Kevin,
Open "Settings" on the iPhone>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks>Accounts>your MobileMe account and turn off the Calendar, when prompted delete data, wait two minutes turn Calendar back on, and when asked merge the data. Wait patiently, and hopefully you will be able to regain sync functions. If you are able, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to make the change
AFAIK, the merge function will incorporate calendars on your iPhone and MobileMe.
If you are not confident with that answer, be sure to try MobileMe Support and select the appropriate country/language, choose "Syncing with MobileMe," select "Troubleshooting MobileMe Sync issues," and then select "Chat Now."

RECOVERY OF CALENDAR DATA

I have a Macbook Air operating on Yosemite 10.10.1.
I have just inadvertently lost all of my Calendar data by activating the iCloud Drive and then realising that I didn't want to put the Calendar on it and deselecting this on the iCloud Preferences.
It did come up with a message saying that all data on he drive would be deleted from the Mac, but I didn't think that I had put anything on it at that stage.
I would like to recover the Calendar. I have back-up on a Passport-for-Mac using Time Machine, but cannot identify where the "old" Calendar data file is.
Can anybody help please?

Data lost when download data after ALV display in background

Hi, everyone, first i display the data in ALV Grid, then I upload the data into sap application sever, it is ok in foreground. But when i run the program at background and the data is more then one page in spool list, the file on application server will lost and only has data in last page of spool list. Is this SAP standard behavior? please advice, thanks.

There is a simple logic.
First i get all data and keep the data in interal table T_LIST.
Then call function REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY to display data in T_LIST.
Third, Using statement OPEN DATASTET and TRANSFER to upload data in T_LIST into application server.
In fact, it will be ok if run the program foreground. it will also be ok if upload data into appllication server before display data with ALV grid. But i just want to know the root cause why data lost in my current design. thanks.

Images blurry when merged with background - Captivate 5

I am trying to merge my buttons and several text boxes onto the background in order to keep file size down. When I merge with the background the buttos become blurry and the test is blurry. Any suggestions on how to correct this issue?
Thanks!

If the only reason is to keep the file size down then it is pointless as merging them with the background will not reduce the file size as they are still images. If they are image buttons ie not interactive than you could try placing them on a master slide. You only need to place the images once into the library then drag them from the library to reuse and captivate will be only using the image size once reducing file size and using the one image multiple times.

Is there a way to recover calendar data lost in synchronization?

I inadvertently clicked the wrong option during synchronization and have lost a lot of calendar data on my device and computer. Is there anyway to undo the synchronization or recover the data? Thanks!

Only way is to use the desktop manager if you've backed up the data first.

Also recommend going forward to use BlackBerry Protect if you don't have it setup already.

If you do have it setup, this is another way to restore data.

Data lost when sql is very time-consuming

Hi,
I use sql statement as a data source,
When the sql statement is very time-consuming(1 hour for example),
the exported data as pdf file was incomplete:
only the first page exported when it's supposed to be three pages.
thanks for your reply.

You need to optimize your SQL statement. Use a Stored Porcedure or something Server side rather than Client side.

My iMac and MacBook Calendar will no longer sync with iCloud. I don't understand why?

All of the sudden about 10 days ago, I noticed that when I asked to refresh my calendar, that it just hangs on both my iMac and my MacBook. And neither are syncing with iCloud calendar. I'm not certain if my iphone calendar is synching or not because nothing is getting transferred to my iMac or MacBook.
The system status says all is OK. My iCloud is still turned on for both computers. So I'm not sure what to do next.

Yes. iCloud on the web is correct although the latest stuff I added to my MacBook is not showing up because it won't sync.
In System Preferences iCloud is selected and they are turned on on both machines as always.
There are no other calendars linked to iCal. I just have a Home, Work, and Birthday and US Holidays all linked in.
I did try something on my MacBook that seemed to work. I went into System Preferences and turned off Calendars and Reminders in the iCloud setting. That prompted a message that all of the iCloud iCal data would be removed from the computer. I made sure the web version was accurate before I did this. Then I shut down my computer and restarted. When I restarted I went back into System Preferences and turned on Calendars and Reminders and now it seems to be working.
I'm about to try the same thing on my iMac.
If this works both times, my question then would be what would cause both my iMac and MacBook to disconnect as it seems from iCloud when I hadn't changed anything at all.
