The contacts and calendar items on my iPad have mysteriously disappeared.

I have synced my device but still no contacts or calendar. They are still there on my iphone and on my Mac

Thanks for your suggestion.
Did all the above as well as restarting my ipad (which often mysteriousy solves some problems) but no luck.
I then tried to switch off the back up using icloud and did a manual back up which restored everything!
Mysterious!

Hello, Ran12345.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It is still possible to sync contacts and calendars from Outlook using iTunes. If you are experiencing issues with this, here is the best article to go through.

ICloud deletes the contacts and calendar entries from Outlook 2010 on my PC, when it syncs. with my iPad. How do I retain the contacts and calendar entries on my PC.

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.

Contacts and calendar items disappear when exchange server is off

Hi All
I've been having this problem for a few weeks now and it's most frustrating. My iphone is setup to sync over the air to our corporate exchange server. It seems that when the server is down for repair/patching ALL my contacts and calendar items disappear from my iphone. This doesn't seem to happen if the phone is out of signal?
I know that I can sync directly with Outlook, however this would then mean that the phone is only updated when synced with my laptop at work. If I sync both over the air AND with Outlook, I get duplicates of everything in my calendar.
I'm not restoring my iphone to factory defaults to get rid of the duplicates and go back to over the air sync only.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get calendar and contacts to work "offline" when the exchange server is down?
Main PC is running Windows 7 and exchange is 2007. This problem is only recent, I think in the last month of two. Nothing has changed other than the last few firmware updates from Apple.

hi, cheers for the info. That would make sense, however how come when I'm out of signal and not connected to wifi, the data doesn't also disappear as that too would render the server "unavailable".
Is there a way to make the iphone keep a copy of the data much the same as "offline mode" in Outlook where you can still browse your email, calendar and contacts when the server is offline, and it picks up where it left off when the server is available again?
I appreciate this may not be a "problem" as such, but is frustrating as all my contacts and calendar live in Outlook and I can't function without them

Unable to hotsync Centro with Palmdesktop for Contacts and Calendar items.

I cannot hotsync my Centro Contact and Calendar items with the Desktop for more than 3 months even with the help of the Palmone support team.
I tried many version of the Palmdesktop,v4.1.4,v4.14e,v6.2 with no avail. No help from DBfixit program. Only backup and Memo data can be transferred to the PC. The hotsync failed to finish the complete backup for unknown reason.
Can any expert user help? I must use the same User Name as I have a lot of third party program installed.

How to set up iCloud

Contacts and calendar entries go to ipad from iphone but not vice versa

i've got the cloud set up on both my new iPad and iPhone--problem is when I make contact or calendar entries on the iPhone, they cloud right over to the iPad, but when I make entries into the iPad, they don't go to the iPhone--I've checked settings on both devices and can't figure out the issue--please help!

Make sure you are entering the contacts and calendar events on your iCloud account. On your iPad, check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar. Here make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default, and not something else like On My iPad, Google Calendar, and exchange account calendar, etc.
Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the contacts section) and make sure you have selected iCloud as your default. (If you don't see this settings, this isn't the problem).
If your settings for your calendar is correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new calendar events to your phone, go to icloud.com from your computer and enter any missing calendar events on your iPad that are not on your calendar on icloud.com. Once your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted, then after a minute or so turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendars back to your phone. Then enter a new event on your iPad and confirm that it syncs to icloud.com now.
If your settings for your contacts are correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new contacts to your phone, do the same thing for Contacts (add any missing contacts to icloud.com, turn iCloud syncing off, choose Delete from My iPhone, after a minute turn contact syncing back on, try adding a new contacts to confirm that it syncs).

I have 3 i phones. Can I have multiple accounts on one computer where it keeps the contacta and calendar for each?

I have 3 i phones. Can I have multiple accounts on one computer where it keeps the contacta and calendar for each?

My daughter and I both have iphones. I created an account (not separate itunes) for her on my computer so she could sync her phone/itunes but not have it interfere with mine since we have WAY different taste in music. Creating a different computer profile should work if you have separate itunes accounts, too.
If you all use the same itunes account, you can turn on Home Sharing. That way you can all download the same content without having to pay for it again. Not sure how or if that works with separate itunes accounts.
Hope that helps!

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?

When I synchronise my iphone 4 by Itunes with my computer Mac, the contact and calendar aren't transfer in my Mac.
How can I transfer these data.
Thank you for your help

Connect the phone, click on it in the list, then click on the Info tab and check the boxes to sync contacts and calendars.

Why won't my wife's new iPad2 upload the "contacts" and "calendar" data from Outlook when I sync it. Her iPhone does it just fine.

Synchronized my iPhone 3G 8G to copy the contacts and calendars from Outlook, I wonder if I can do the same synchronization to copy the same data from Gmail

Synchronized my iPhone 3G 8G to copy the contacts and calendars from Outlook, I wonder if I can do the same synchronization to copy the same data from Gmail ?

Right, I finally managed to get it sorted out.
iCloud only accept version 3.0 vcards, and the one I was using were version 2.1 so that's why it wasn't picking it up. So the easy way to get that sorted out is, use a gmail account.
I know you don't wanna do it because you think it's too much hassle and stuff, but trust me it only takes 5 minutes and that's it.
1. Create a Gmail Account.
2. Export your Old VCard files to the Gmail Account.
3. Now Import them from Gmail to your PC again.
And, that's it, that's just makes the new imported version in 1 file contains your all contacts in version 3.0. Now you can just upload that on icloud and then sync it with your iphone.
That's what I did and it worked, and I am sure if you wanna replace this file in the Contacts folder under your User Account in Windows and then try to sync Contacts in Tunes, it should work, but as I said, I did it with iCloud and it worked for me. So aye, that's pretty much it. Phewwww..
Been searching for it for the whole day and it took 5 minutes in the end, badass...
Anyway, don't lose hope and always Google for everything!

Syncing Outlook contacts and calendar items to iCloud

I just upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 5. Lots of fun stuff (although the upgrade process made me lose my application folder setup but this is not the subject of this message).
I currently have an Outlook mail connection with my iPad. It syncs all mails, contacts and calendar entries with my office server and my PC. Works great.
I had hoped that with iOS 5, I could have synchronised these same entries to iCloud.
But instead, I think that that you must store contacts / calander you wish to sync into the iCloud "account". If this is so, then I do not think that this would be a workable use case for me.
Any thoughts on how this could be accomplished?
Regards
Max

Kris,
I don't have an iPhone yet, but here is my best guess.
It's safe to assume you went into the iTunes options when your iPhone was plugged in to sync and you checked the options for Contacts and Calendars as you had the original sync occur. Have you gone back and confirmed both of those sync options are still checked? I know iTunes updates have goofed thing up before so I figured I'd ask...

The contacts and calendar items on my iPad have mysteriously disappeared.
