The OS update wiped out my calendar. How do I get it back?

My phone (an iPhone 4) was updated unexpectedly a few weeks ago while syncing, and a lot of things were changed. Having to arrange my apps the way I wanted them was a fairly minor annoyance - but my calendar entries before November are completely gone.
This is a huge problem. I need those entries to do my taxes. This is a disaster.
I have another problem: I recently completed treatment for Stage 3 inflammatory breast carcinoma. I'm planning to write about it - but without my calendar entries, I don't have all the information I need. Reconstructing it will be almost impossible.
I wrote to Apple about it, and have had no response of any kind.
Can someone help me? I'm getting desperate. Thank you!

I am happy to say that I finally figured out how to get my calendar back: I dug deep into the bowels of the phone, and discovered that syncing had been changed from "all events" to "one month." I changed it back, and - presto! - my life returned.
I am sorry to say that I didn't get any help from anyone at Apple or on this forum. I don't understand why the Appleistas feel free to change these things without warning us, and without telling us how to fix them. I like this phone, but because of the company's institutional arrogance, I strongly doubt that I will ever purchase another Apple product.

The last update turned on iCloud. How do I get my calendar to sync with outlook now?

The last update turned on iCloud. How do I get my calendar to sync with outlook now?

iCloud wasn't on, I accepted iTunes offer to upgrade to 6.1.1.
Next time I went to sync through iTunes, iCloud was on.
Your advice appears to have solved my problem...for now.
Thank you.
Historically, the upgrade to 6.0 lost all of my contacts.
A manual restore brought them back.
Tech support said "Oh, that happens sometimes, you have to back up before upgrades", fortunately I do.
Again, thank you for the help.

I checked @ http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#reminders and it says under Multi Accounts: "Reminders works with CalDAV services like Google Calendar and Yahoo! Calendar. You can also create reminders that appear only on your Mac."

Quit Safai (double tap the home button, hold the app icon until it wiggles, tap , double tap the home button gain)

I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

I got the iPhone 5s this morning and I kept my number and as soon as it charged I got all my messages, but when I connected it to my iCloud and backed it up, when it was finished all the messages I received were gone. How do I get them back?

Hi sofia124,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may have either set the iPhone up as a new iPhone or restored from a backup that didn’t have your messages on it. If you do have either an iCloud or iTunes backup that you believe has your messages saved, you can restore from that backup to recover your information. Please use the attached article as a reference for restoring from a backup.
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Have a great day,
Joe

Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
But most likely those pics are gone.
What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.
