Deleted Calendar account on iPhone and want to restore calendar entries! Completed iOS 5.0 upgrade, backup and restore then deleted unused email/calendar account not realizing it held all my calendar items!! Can it be retreived from the "backup" and if so how to I find and restore the calendar. (The deleted email/calandar account is no longer available to me)
iPhone 4, iOS 5, restoring deleted calendar account
Found a solution!!
With the help of http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
Confirmed this evening's backup file existed on my Mac and that the option to restore from previous backup would be an option. I had not disconnected my iPhone from my Mac so while still in iTunes, chose RESTORE. A little uneasy to watch the process of restoring first to factory settings (deleting all my info...) yet at the end of that process, was given the option to chose Restore from Most Recent BackUp. WooHoo! My deleted email/calendar account is back in place as is ALL my calendar entries, contacts, apps, etc.
Now to find a way to transfer my calendar entries to a different account...

Data loss is really troublesome! If you lost your iPhone calendar, you can use iPubsoft iPhone Backup Extractor, which is dedicated to helping you recover iPhone files! You can use it to recover lost/deleted calendar from iPhone!
A second item to note from today's learning experience is to always have a recent backup. A popular myth is that iTunes can only store a single backup for each iGadget it knows. This list you can review in iTunes / Preferences / Devices. However, if you Right-Click or Control-Click on a backup, a popup menu will appear and give you the option to Archive it. Label the thing appropriately (i.e., why) and it won't be updated anymore, iTunes creates a new backup of the corresponding device. And when you do a Restore, if there's more than one backup of the device, iTunes will ask which to use.
Just beware that a backup can be very big, especially on fat iGadgets like a 128GB iPad (worst case)...
Hi, Actually, you can get back the lost iPhone calendar even without backup with iTunes or iCloud. Just 3 simple steps: install iPhone data recovery, scan your iPhone and then click "Recover" button. For more details, you may refer to this article - how to recover deleted calendar from iPhone.

2.5 years later, I doubt the OP is worried about it.
