How do I restore past events to my iPad calendar?

I use the calendar on my IPad a lot, but when I went to look at an event from 6 weeks ago, I realized all my events except the recurring events from more than 30 days ago were missing. I found online that I should change my "sync" under settings->calendars to something more than 'the last month', which I did. I changed it first to 'all events', waited about 30 minutes, and when my past events still didn't show up I tried again with '6 months'. Still none of my past events are showing. I don't use calendars on any other devices (Mac or phone). Any other suggestions on how to restore my events?

Thanks!

I found out how to get the old events back!

1) Open iCal

2) Go to "Calendar">Preferences>Select the "Accounts Tab

3) Check the box for "Enable this account"

4) Now just close that window and Viola! All your events you EVER entered will be back in your calendar!

Thanks, I've been without past events on my previous iPhone for 2 years and must have missed your solution when I searched for one. A new iPhone prompted a new search and it's now fixed!
