Through my iCal calendar I decided to share my entries with my husband and I thought I was doing everything that was prompted of me to do but not only can I not find "us" or the URL address in the internet but I no longer have ANY CALENDAR ENTRIES!grrrrr

Question

If there is anybody out there who can help me find my iCal entries from this week forward I would soooo appreciate it!  I decided to "share" calendars with my husband and in doing so I have lost my appointments and can't find the URL or http:// blah,blah anywhere.  I looked through my Time Capsule and of course nothing is there (it shows what exists now in the calendar which is nothing), I looked in iCloud and I don't know how to retrieve my stuff.  Thank you in advance for your help.  I really don't like these things because I am not very good at them.  What I would think is simple every time becomes a huge mess and wasted life.

As iCloud does not have your calendars we have two options:
Contact Apple ASAP and ask them to see if they have a backup copy of your calendar data which they can restore from the server to iCloud.  It's not Apple's responsibility to maintain backups of your data but most servers have a backup of some type.  The challenge is that those backups probably get refreshed fairly quickly so you need to contact them fast so they can put a request in to whoever manages the iCloud servers (it might not be possible but its worth asking).  http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
Something you can do right now:If you have a Time Capsule that suggests you are running Time Machine which backs up your entire computer (else why have a Time Capsule).
Make an iCal backup of what you still have:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
Go to Calendars > Go Offline
Go to iCal > Quit iCal
Quit all open applications
Click anywhere on your desktop
Go to the "Go" menu at the top of the screen and hold down the "option / alt" key on your keyboard.
Click on the "library" option in the menu.
While in the Library go to the Time Machine menu at the top right corner of your computer screen (Little clock face with an arrow going around it in a circle) and click "Enter Time Machine".
In Time Machine click on the the time line running down the right hand side of the screen to choose a date / time when you are 100% confident that iCal had the events you are looking for.
Once you've gone to the date you want, highlight the "Calendars" folder in the Library window.
Click the button that says "restore" in the bottom right.
Once the restore is complete, open iCal and see if your events are there.
If the events are there, Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to your desktop.
If the events are not there, go back into Time Machine and try an earlier date.
Once the calendars are restored to iCal and you've exported a copy out, go to Calendars > Go online
If the events vanish you can re-import them from the copies you exported to the desktop.
