Updated iCal and lost all recent calendar entries/schedules...

hello, i did about 1 hour of editing and updating and adding new events on my iCal today. And for the first time, i accessed my iCal from the web, and it looked good and accurate. A few hours later, I decided to reply to the iCal update prompt, and so I clicked update. I opened up iCal after the update and all recent edits/additions I made early today, were all gone. Even after I restarted the computer. Very, very stupid. This is why people are so skeptical with updates. Can someone help? This seems like an issue that would happen 10 years ago, not today. Thank you!!
Also, can we no longer browse the categories of discussions to see if our question can be answered by previous posts? I clicked on "browse" in the top right corner of the discussion page where the "new" and "my stuff" links are, and it went straight to a page that had no category options. Just all posts, of all topics. Thanks again....

oh my goodness..... and now, there is a duplicate color in the 3 categories of events within iCal (personal, work, and home).
Personal, and Work are both green now.
Doesn't this defeat the whole purpose of different colors?
what is going on here?

I updated my iPhone 5c to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events. How can I get them back?

I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events. How can I get them back? I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud. I changed it back and still don't have any events.

Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers? If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

Please always post your System details when you have a query. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

Once I updated to OS 6 all my calendar entries from early in the year have disappeared. I need them as a reference and record of activities how do I restore them?

Once I updated to OS 6 all my Calendar entries from the early part of the year disappeared. I need them as a record of PD activities how do I restore the earlier entries. The new future activities are there just the old ones have disappeared.

Well, that would depend on what calendar you are using.
If you are simply relying on the calendar on the device, well, that's not very smart. Restoring from backup should put everything back.
If the calendar is synced with another service, like Google, iCloud, Exchange, do the entires still exist there?
If the calendar is synced with Outlook or iCal on your computer, do the entries still exist there?

Since downloading iOS 7.3 I have lost all my calendar entries and it wont accept new entries. Is it me or the system?

Since downloading iOS7.3 to my iphone 4, I have lost all my calendar entries and it won't let me create new entries either. Is it me or is it the system and if the latter how do I recover the data and add to it?
I am not up dating the system on my ipad in case the same thing happens. They aren't syncing on this facility.

Easy solution, thank goodness. On your iPhone, go to settings, then to iCloud. If your Calendar selection is turned off, turn it on. Your info should restore. If your Calendar selection is turned on, then turn it off. Choose to save calendars when asked. After it shuts the Calendar off, turn it back on. Your info should be restored.
Thank you to Apple support for walking me through this. Shame on you Apple for not just telling people about this easy fix rather than making us go through all of this pain and worry.

I just set up my ipod and lost all my calendars. Is there a way to prevent Ipad from doing that/

I just set up my IPad and lost all my calendars on all devices, including Outlook. How did that happen and how can i prevent that in the future? The only thing that i was asked about was to delete my local contacts or not.

No backup is a bad mistake.
The music sync is one way only - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing, File>Transfer Purchases
Start asap always maintaining a backup of your computer.

Updated Ipod and lost all music

Has anyone else recently update an Ipod touch using Itunes and then lost all your music? That is what happened to my daughter's. We updated to version 4.21 and all music was wiped out. Didn't have all the music in our Itunes library so can't get it all back. Anyone have a solution or is it gone for good?

Music is always synced to the iPod from the iTunes libray after a restore or update. It is not part of the backup that is made as the first step of a sync and update. Therefore, if you update an iPod and the music (and apps) that are on the iPod are not in the iTunes library, the updated iPod will not have that music or apps.
If you are in the USA and using the latest iTunes, you can redownload iTunes purchased music by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

After an update I have lost all my Reminderfox entries!

Firefox must have done updates of Aniweather and Colourtabs, but I have lost Reminderfox and all entries

See [[Add-ons are disabled after updating Firefox]]
Make sure you have the latest version of the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/reminderfox/ ReminderFox add-on] and restart Firefox.

Installed 10.5; updated Mail and lost all items in mailbox folders

I rushed out and bought OS 10.5 yesterday ... home and installed it. Opened my Apple Mail application and it automatically prompted me to update it, so I did. However when all was said and done, the items in my mailbox folders disappeared.
I suppose I could go back and do a manual import to restore the files. However isn't this something that apple should have thought of? Also is there an easier way?
Thanks

If you tried all this an nothing worked i would back up my stuff quik as "¤#% and erase and instal.
Regarding your emails:
If you have IMAP you will still be able to acsess them by your webmail
" E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them"
If you have POP3
"Although most clients have an option to leave mail on server, e-mail clients using POP3 generally connect, retrieve all messages, store them on the user's PC as new messages, delete them from the server, and then disconnect."
This is just an idea, and it migth not work, but you should give it a try:
Try safe-boot and see if its the same problem opening mail, if you manage to open it in safe boot you should be able to back up you emails from there.
Safe-boot:
Hold down the <Shift> during startup until you see the login window with red text saying "Safe boot"
I migth be wrong, but i think there is another way to back up your mails from some system folder-not sure what one tho, someone else here or apple support can prbly awnser that
Good luck

Updated Firefox and lost all toolbars, Hotmail, EVERYTHING!! How do I fix this?

Updated Firefox last evening. Got up this morning to a whole new page on the computer. Clicked on Firefox and got a blank page with just a Firefox logo and a Google search line. There are no toolbars for me to use to get to my e mail, pictures or other data.
I clicked on the introductory and info arrows and it keeps telling me to click on the tool bar....there isn't one. How do I get my programs back? Where is my tool bar? I see a lot of other complaints like this, so this problem should have been fixed BEFORE you offered the update.
I want my original opening page and tool bar and my Hotmail back. PLEASE!

Set the pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

When I updated by iphone with IOS7, my calendar entries did not follow the icloud. I am only showing pre set calendar entries for the year?

When I updated by iphone with IOS7, my calendar entries did not follow the icloud. I am only showing pre set calendar entries for the year and lost all other calendar entrie and it will not take any new entries. They show up in my outlook, but not on my iphone, which they did before I updated my software to the new i0s7

Before syncing, select each calendar on your Mac and back it up by going to File>Export>Export. If anything goes missing, you can use these to restore your calendars.
Have you tried simply force closing the calendar app on your iPhone? To do this, double-tap the home button, locate the calendar app, then swipe up on the image above the app icloud to close it and tap the home bottom. Then test your calendar again.

ICal has lost all my entries and quits when opened

I know that people have had problems with iCal quitting unexpectedly and I have read through the posts relating to those problems, but nothing quite fits what has happened to me.
iCal has 'lost' all of my entries in the various calendars that I have set up, including the subscribed calendar of public holidays. When opened the spinning ball of death starts and then the program quits.
I have been on other user accounts which are synced with this computer and iCal is working/displaying normally. I have created a new entry in a calendar whilst logged on as another user.
When I have checked Library:Application Support: iCal there are 1,929 items in the Sources folder all created at the same time (I have only established 8 calendars + 1 subscribed in reality).
I have backed up a synced iCal from another user account, put it in User:Shared so it is now available on my desktop. Unfortunately when I try to open it, it hangs and iCal eventually quits again.
Any ideas?

I just lost all recent updates to my iCal from the last days. Can this possibly happen ??? What can I do to restore iCal with the most recent updates?

Hello All, yesterday afternoon I just lost all recent updates to my iCal from the last days. How can this possibly happen ??? It may have occured after I chose the Refresh function after I had problems searching my iCal for a particular event. I think my iPhone was also not properly synched in the morning but I didn't pay it much attention and opened iCal on my MacBookAir instead.
How can I prevent this from happening again?
What can I do to restore iCal with the most recent updates?

Random glitch. It doesn't matter; if you didn't backup the data, then you can't recover the data.
In the future, for any 'important' data, back up that data regularly. Forward the 'important' text messages to your email. Trasnfer your photos & videos to your computer, etcetera.

HT4623 I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts. My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up. Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

I have the exact same problem. I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts. They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

I recently updated my iphone and lost all my media and contacts as my computer did not save them how do i get them back

i recently updated my iphone and lost all my media as my computer did not have enough memory to restore and an error occured. How do i get them back.

Media and contacts are NOT part of the iPhone backup. Media should already be in your iTunes library and contacts should be in whatever address book or cloud service you were syncing them to. Just re-sync them to the phone.

Updated iCal and lost all recent calendar entries/schedules...
