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?

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.

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

Calendar data recovery.

iPhone calendar was inadvertantly set to NOT keep track of events more than 30-days old. After 2 months of losing calendar items this was corrected. If their any way to recover the lost calendar items?

How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

Dear wise & wondeful people:
How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

ITunes Calendar data doesn't match Outlook's. How can I fix?

I have a new iPhone and just recently discovered that the Calendar is not updating,
probably since the first time I synced. And even then it was using old calendar data which
doesn't currently show up in Outlook. (Contacts sync perfectly.) Applecare took me
through their 1st and 2nd-level support troubleshooting and said they couldn't do anything more.
They suggested possible corruption of outlook.pst.
One glaring example: I used to have 3 calendars in Outlook: "Bridge", "Calendar" and
"Others". I recently deleted all but the one called Calendar, but all 3 still show up in
iTunes, even though I've uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes twice. Only "Calendar" shows up on
the iPhone, but it has old data. I think the data it's displaying has not been refreshed
since 9/23/11, when I moved the outlook.pst file to a location in My Documents for easier
backup, but that doesn't really make sense since the Contacts update just fine. (I've had
an iPad for about a year, and it's behaving the same as the iPhone now; the Calendar used
to update properly.) Another possible clue: the iPhone shows two instances of one
particular recurring appointment. I don't recall ever having two instances of it in
Outlook and wonder if that could be the problem. I removed it altogether from Outlook and
that didn't help.
I've done extensive testing with a new Windows user account and Outlook, and the calendar
syncing seems to work fine. I've Googled "iPhone calendar won't update" and similar and
haven't found anything that works for my situation.
I'm running Office 2003 on Windows XP. I do NOT use Outlook for mail.

I was having the same problems after downloading 10.4.1 IStore would only download half way then nothing attempted reinstall no goood checked the Diagnostics with IPad connected, indicated no errors. more than a few hours browsing possible solutions. Found one stating 'Remove all Itunes connected software, i.e. Bonjour, ITunes, Safari etc from PC via the Uninstall Safely Feature and ReInstall. Hey Presto it worked now no issues.
Good Luck. I am using Windows 7.
That's my problem exactly, but I can't find the: ''Uninstall Safely Feature and ReInstall''. Where is that??
Thank You

HELP - I've lost all my Calendar data, most of my Notes, and other issues

In priority order:
1. Sometime in the last two days my iPhone 4S, with IOS 7.0.4, lost all my Calendar data except birthdays from Contacts.
2. Most of my Notes are lost except those from PC.
WRT the above, iPad data is still intact.
3. IOS 7.0.4 crashes apps A LOT! Even Apple apps.
4. IOS 7.0.4 is slow.

Resolved items 1 & 2 by rebooting the phone. I am happy that it resolved, but it shouldn't have happened n the first place.

HT1296 I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7. The basic calendar is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. How can I fix this?

I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7. The basic calendar data transfer is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. The birthday entries in my Outlook contacts have correct dates.How can I fix this?

The following peocess corrects the calendar entry:
edit the contact & change the birthday, save the change; edit the contact & change the birthday to the correct value, save the change again. The calendar entry then displays on the correct date. Alternatively as a temp solution I can just de-select the "birthdays" calendar which stops the icon being displayed.
Thanks for your advice, I think that it's n going to be a slow process to fix all the entries for not much return.

Working day to factory calendar date

Hello Experts,
I wish to get the factory calendar date, specific to a factory calendar, based on a working day.
Basically, if i pass say 4, then i want to get the date for the 4th working day based on a specific factory calendar.
Can someone throw some light on possible function module that i can use in BW ?
Thanks

That's what I was giving you, you give the working day and the factory calendar and you get the date, or you can use this function and you can do it the other way:
(Unless I'm completely missing your point here...)
    CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE'
EXPORTING
    CORRECT_OPTION                     = '+'
    DATE                               = G_WORKAREA3-CREATEDON
    FACTORY_CALENDAR_ID                = L_S_PLANT-FACTCAL_ID
IMPORTING
*   DATE                               =
   FACTORYDATE                        = L_FCDATE
EXCEPTIONS
    CALENDAR_BUFFER_NOT_LOADABLE       = 1
    CORRECT_OPTION_INVALID             = 2
    DATE_AFTER_RANGE                   = 3
    DATE_BEFORE_RANGE                  = 4
    DATE_INVALID                       = 5
    FACTORY_CALENDAR_NOT_FOUND         = 6
    OTHERS                             = 7.

ICal sycing calendar dates to iPhone

Hi,
When I plug the iPhone into the mac via USB and open iTunes, the calendar dates in iCal do not get synced across. I have gone into iCal and looked for a way to send dates to the phone, but without success. Can anoyone help, please? iTunes does send contacts - just not iCal dates.
Thanks!

I finally got it fixed with a little help from some related posts online.
- Delete any files with 'cache' in the name that are in ~/Library/Calendars
- Launch iSync, go to Preferences, and do Reset Sync History
- Log out and log back in
I don't know if it's one or both of the first two items, but it did the trick.

The contacts and calendar data on my iPod touch will not sync with my Mac

I have a 2nd generation ipod touch, and an iMac running iTunes 8.2.1.
I have been away from my mac for a few months and have entered a lot of contact and calendar info into my ipod touch.
Now, when I try to sync the contacts and calendar data on my ipod touch with my mac, the data will not sync to my mac.
Similarly, for the last couple months, the contact and calendar data on my ipod touch has not been able to sync with my mobileme account.
I cannot afford to lose the contact and calendar data on my ipod touch.
Can anyone kindly inform me how to fix this syncing problem without losing such data?

Some calendars in iCal appear corrupted but OK on iPhone. If I sync will the calendar data on the phone restore info on the desktop iCal? any other ideas for how to sort this please?

Some calendars in iCal appear corrupted (ie have red exclamation mark by them) but are still OK on iPhone. If I sync, will the calendar data on the phone restore info on the desktop iCal or will I lose that as well? Or could I back up the calendars on my iPhone somewhere and then import them into iCal? any other ideas for how to sort this please? it's driving me mad. thanks.

I don't think there will be a solution to this. Exchange 2003 just isn't supported.

IPod Nano 3rd Gen. Problems [Rebooting, Won't Sync Contact/Calendar Data]

I have noticed that my iPod nano will reboot itself after it has been syncing/charging. It reboots when I go to the last playlist that was playing before I began to sync/charge it. Also, it would randomly reboots when I am selection a playlist.
Then, it won't sync my contact/calendar data if it nearly full. But I can sync them when it is nearly empty.
What is causing the problem and how can I fix it?

if you have done restores then possibly it is a firmware issue... i would take it to the apple store if you can to get it looked at...

System altered. Upto this i was clear, but now i cann't understand when you actually dropped the control file from you database(in running stat) how can you perform "alter system checkpoint" and other "alter tablespace.." command? Once controlfile is inaccessible, oracle database is not suppose to function.

Which more beneficial data recovery services or data recovery softwares?

I am just try to figure out some thing which works best out of these two. As recently have gone through a recovery company Stellar Data Recovery http://www.stellarinfo.co.in/company/company.php . And after surveying i found companies proving software also.
The services paid more isnt it? but the recovery is maximum. what you think?
