I can't believe this! I wonder what I'm going to miss without my calendar? And all the history that I use to go back to! And today I even tried calling support and they originally wanted to charge me $29 for the call for this issue. I complained so much that it wasn't my fault and I didn't feel I should be charged and when they couldn't find a solution, they didn't charge me. I would much rather pay the stupid $29 and have my calendar back!!!

I updated my iPhone from iOS 4.0.1 to iOS 4.0.2 this morning and the calendar on my Mac overwrote the one on my phone. When I noticed this, I plugged it back in to the Mac, which initiated Sync. Then, when I tried to restore, I only had the option to restore to the backup that just happened. There are files in /Users//Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup from this morning, but I don't know how to make iTunes use them for the update.

My iPhone calendar went blank as well. Just cleared completely. I first noticed a problem when working on one of my PC's and it asks for permission to delete several hundred calendar entries. I say "no" and then go backup my pst files immediately in case it decides to do them a handful at a time.

Note: I have not upgraded or changed any settings in weeks. I have OS 4.0.1 on the 3GS phone but that update was done a while back.

I've turned off MobileMe. It was good while it lasted but I can't afford this kind of stuff going on. It's just scary for it to have the ability to clear all appointments and contacts... and actually DO it.

So far as I can tell it hasn't cleared any Contacts.

Yep, you can add me to the list as well. Everything from my iPhone calendar deleted - not happy as my whole life was in there.
Oh, and tried to restore from backup but the only backup it will let me restore from was taken after they were all deleted. Spent hours trying to get the stuff back but to no avail.
This is so annoying, I have no way of getting some of this information back.
I have upgraded software to latest version 4.02 which has not fixed the problem.

I'm having the exact same problem and I have had no luck with factory restore. I even tried to set up an Exchange calendar and the phone calendar program just won't respond. Furthermore, I can't even add an event because it says I do not have a calendar set. Whenever I try to restore from iTunes and sync the phone, I get an error that says my calendars are in use. After this I disabled the calendar program in the multitasking option but still no luck. I'm using iOS 4.0.2 and iTunes 9.2.1. Has anyone figured out a fix yet?

How was it that media attention was called to the lost signal issue so quickly, and none has been paid to this -- which is infinitely more distressing!

My issues aside with losing all the important events of my life by doing what I thought was the right thing -- backing up/synching my phone -- I saw a discussion thread where someone said they lost all manner of medical appointments, etc. This is a life-threatening issue. It needs to be addressed, VERY PUBLICLY before more people sync and lose their calendars.

If Apple can't fix it, they should say so!!! You will lose many more customers than this if you don't come out with a solution. I am making it my personal business to make sure the media knows about this. PLEASE JOIN ME!
