Problem with Gmail and Google calendar

All the entries prior to July 11, 2013 have disappeared. I had reason to go back to get information for an Excel spreadsheet I am updating, and everything is gone!

I wonder what could have happened.

I have email going back to June 13, 2013, which is about the same time I started using gmail. However, I use gmail through the IEEE, and my email address ends in ieee.org, so there could be some differences.

All mine is still there...thanks, this post

forced me to think about it, and save a copy of my calendar to the computer.

Yesterday was a weird tech day for my smart phone.
The hourly times of day kept changing.
At the end of the day, it had apparently resolved, as all the txts and calls had the correct times when it was all said and done.

One of the biggest requirement of computer users is to backup, backup, and backup again. A computer is only a machine that makes every mistake you ask it to. I suggest getting a flash drive and backup your key data.

Google calendar doesn't keep things for long. I keep everything on my Outlook calendar, and then sync it to Google. When google deletes it, it is still on my home computer.
