iCloud calendar events disappearing

I have iCal on my Mac at home, synced to my iPhone, and then I use iCloud at work (from a PC). Today at work, I was looking at my iCloud calendar and several events disappeared from right in front of my eyes. However, they are still on my phone! (I can't yet check if they're on my Mac at home.) What is going on here?


I suspect that it has something to do with weekly repeating events - all the events which disappeared were in that category - but how do I get them back? My iPhone is set to sync 'all events' already.

I'm on iOS 10.3.1


As others on this thread wrote:

1) Back up your data

2) Go to Settings > [Your Apple Settings] > iCloud and turn Calendars OFF

3) When prompted to delete or keep, select DELETE

4) Wait a few minutes and turn Calendar back ON

5) Events will slowly be restored and added back into your calendar


The first time I tried this, I did not see events from earlier in the year. To see older events:

6) Go to Settings > Calendar > Sync

7) It was defaulted to Events 1 Month Back, I changed the Sync setting to All Events

Yeah, I had this problem too. I was stuck even after reading all of this, all I could think of was restarting my iPad. (I didn’t think it would work but it did). all You need to do is hold down the on/off button while holding the home button until the apple logo comes up and wait for it to turn back on again. It doesn’t delete any of your data or enything like that. It should be called refresh. It worked for me! Im really glad cause it was so annoying! Don’t waist your time with that other hard stuff.

Apple doesn't seem to be doing anything about this. So maybe we can at least help them diagnose and fix!


Question 1: did you all recently upgrade to Mountain Lion? I did so a few weeks ago.


Question 2: I noticed this problem with only SOME recurring events, mostly those that have weekly recurrence. Events with daily recurrence have not disappeared. Is this the same with others?


Question 3: how to get Apple Customer Support attention???

1. no, I haven't upgraded recently. In fact, I hadn't changed *anything* in my settings when this started happening.


2. I only have problems with the weekly and monthly recurrences, no daily ones. It's the weeklies I've noticed so far. (Having said that, it SEEMS to be okay again at the moment - touch wood. I may be cursing myself by saying that.)


3. Who knows?!
