Updated OS wiped out my Calendar and Contacts!

I downloaded the OS Version 2.1.0.1032 and my Calendar and Contact information is wiped out!!!! Hours of input gone. Now what? Is there anyway to get it back? Why did this happen?
Also now that it's gone, how should I have backed it up? The Desktop doesn't give me an Organizer tab to click on- even though the onscreen help menu says it should. Is that just for the phones?
Becoming a bit dissalutioned.
Thanks for any help out there.

If these entries were on the local contacts and calendar as opposed to being sync'd over the air then unless you made a backup of your tablet using the backup features of desktop manager (not sync'd with a local PIM application as this is not available with the playbook) then I don't believe there is any way to recover them

Why when updating the software on my iPad it wiped out my calendar and all my contacts? Discouraged for sure.

Why when updating the software on my iPad 2 ( as I was encouraged on iTunes) it wiped out my calendar and contacts list. All is gone that I spent hours putting them in the iPad.

I am new with the iPad. I opened iTunes hooked the cable up to sync and it asked me if I wanted to update the software. Not knowing any better I said yes. So when it was done, well all my information was gone, wiped out. So do I have to enter the information all over again. This never happened with my windows based computers. Help please.

Wont sync music and now the new update has wiped out my 2,000 contacts!!!

I'm done. I gave this Canadian company two chances. I'm going back to an iPhone!!! No help with these forums. Anyone interested in a BB - run away!!!! We should be able to sue for lost productivity!!!

Really? "No" help from these forums? I see you have 3 posts but only one is viewable (this one) so that means you posted something the moderators (who don't work for BB) removed, possibly because the posts didn't adhere to the terms and conditions of the site.
2000 contacts disappeared? I've had my Z10 for over a year and have never lost a contact but, then, I make backups (for local contacs) and sync my contacts with Exchange at work and Outlook.com for personal.
If you'd like to ask a question and get help there are people here who like to help. if you just want to just rant then don't expect much help. While most here can sympathize with you on lost data, there are thousands of posts here with either how-to's on making backups or links to those same how-to's. All of Sdgardne's posts (and there are tens of thousands) have links to how to set up and maintain backups.
Good luck with the iPhone.

CU8 Update - Public Folder Calendar and Contacts show up in OWA that no longer exist and I cannot access when selecting.

We recently updated to CU8. I went to test out the new Public Folder access to calendars and contacts. I first go to Calendars in OWA and I see a list of several calendars. I see one that is listed twice, one I can open and the other states "Couldn't
open calendar - A connection couldn't be made with the shared calendar. Remove the calendar and try to add it again, or ask the owner to share it again." I also see other calendar's that we used in the past but no longer reside under public folders.
I get the same error on them.
For People, I can go there and I see a section called "Public Folder" and there is a contact list called "IT Team Contacts". When I click on it, it states in the middle pane "Your request can't be completed right now.
Please try again later." This contact list is not on our public folders.
Any ideas on why we I'm seeing these issues?
Thanks,
Jeff Dailey

Seems like some orphaned PF favorites. You should be able to remove them from Outlook, or via MFCMAPI

Microsoft 2010 exchange not updating my calendar and contacts

I use Microsoft Office 2010 (exchange server) for my email, calendar and contacts. My email on both my iPhone (4) and iPad (4) works fine. However after a software update a few months ago, my calendar no longer updated on either my iphone or ipad.
The calendar and contacts are set to the default exchange setting but neither is updating. I deleted the exchange account (on my ipad only) and then added it back...now ALL of my birthdays and reoccuring appointments that were in my calendar prior to the software update are gone. The birthdays and reoccuring stuff still shows on my iphone HOWEVER, any new appointment that I have added don't show up on either device. I was going to upgrade to the iphone 6 when it comes out but am having second thoughts since I can't get my calendar to sync with any new appointments. I never had issues prior to othe update. Any assistance would be MOST appreciated!

Hello Bev76,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like contacts and calendars on your iPad are not being synced to your iPhone 5, but the data syncs from iPhone to iPad.
If you are using iCloud for your contacts and calendars, start with the troubleshooting steps in the "iOS" or "Troubleshooting on iOS devices" sections of these articles:
Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support

All the best,
Jeremy

HT1386 I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".

I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in". Could you please help?

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Upgrade to 7.3.2 wipes out my Outlook Calendar and contacts!!!!!!!!

What the heck???
I just upgraded to iTunes 7.3.2 and it TOTALLY wiped out my upcomming and recurring appointments in my calendar as well as my contacts!
Very, very, very, very unacceptable Apple!!
Fortunately I have a backup (from last night amazingly), but still..... Do NOT like iTunes messing with that. Not at all.

Check out this thread. I found (from a different forum) that the appointments are still there, just the recurrence is messed up. You have to go back to the base appointment and re-setup the recurrence. (But you already fixed this with a backup)

Calendar and contact options are greyed out

Hi all,
I wand to sync my contacts and calendar between my iPad1 and my Windows Laptop.
After installing the icloud sync software, I was only able to check "favourites and photostream" to be synced. The fields mail, calendar and contacts are greyed out and not available to select.
I have browsed through the Internet, de-installed that software piece and installed it again, not change.
Passwaords have been corrected according to the iTune needs (8characters, and so on).
I do not know what to do, any ideas?
Thanks

When you say you are trying to get a file from your local c:drive, dio you mean that you are trying to import a file into your site from elsewhere on your computer, rather than 'getting' it from your remote server. If you are trying to import a file from your local c:drive don't use the 'get' or 'put' buttons because they are just for remote connections, instead just use windows explorer to locate the file then either copy or cut and paste the file into the folder for your site.

I have a 64-bit Windows 7 PC and a much-loved 2008 iPod Classic 120Gb. I recently updated iTunes to V12.1. I no longer have the 'info' legend in 'settings' and am unable now to update my calendar and contacts. Help!

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

I lost my calendar when I synced mt iPhone-how do you restore info

I have apparently wiped out my iPhone 4 contacts list, my apps, and my photos, etc. by syncing with iTunes. Is there any way to restore what I had?

I have apparently wiped out my iPhone 4 contacts list, my apps, and my photos when I synced with iTunes. Maybe I clicked the wrong button, but I just wanted to download the photos from my phone to my computer. Is there any way to restore my previous information?

Did you sync to itunes from a different computer than the one you normally sync to?
syncing to itunes doesn't just wipe out all your data.
If you have a backup of your phone you can restore to that backup.

HT4528 i have a verizon iphone 3G; apple recently upgraded the operating system. PROBLEM: calendar has wiped out all entries and i am unable to add new entries. Help!

Please define "tried to add the Image"?
OS Installer Packages do not point to "images". They point to the complete set of source files including the directory structure from the media.
Is there a specific reason you are using OS Installer packages though? In general, there is no reason to use them anymore (unless you are actually still deploying XP).
