Stopping iCloud service erased iCal data on my Mac
I was setting up iCal and decided to postpone the first sync to later. When I wanted to "Disconnect", I got the message that all data would be deleted from the Mac... of course the data would still be available for other iCloud connected devices.
Problem is that my Mac is the ONLY device sychronized to the cloud so far. It deleted my iCal files completely. I was lucky to uncheck the address book before iCloud could get to it. Thanks to Timemachine, I'm back to normal.
Is this normal that if I one day want to stop using the cloud service, it will delete everything from my Mac?
I can't believe this would be designed that way.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
