Bulk change of calendar items

I had this sync problem with my Palm, and ended up with all of my appointments going into the Unfiled calendar. I want most of them to be in my business calendar. Is there a reasonably easy way to select a lot of them and tell it to change them all at once. I am going through month by month, shift-clicking to select, then ctrl-clicking to get the pulldown menu to change the calendar of the selected items.
It's just kind of tedious. Any better way?
Thanks, Tony

Final comment on this topic I hope. The list view is nice in the sense that I can see all my iCal items in a list. However, changing the calendar for the items is incredibly slow. It takes roughly one minute per item. Even if I am changing them in the calendar, as long as the list is open it is really slow.
It will be faster to use the calendar view to change the items, but the list view to check to make sure I got them all. This is really sad. I hope Apple can put a little more effort into these basic productivity apps.
Cheers,
Tony

  • How can I get my Microsoft exchange calendar items in the cloud

    I am changing jobs, but all of my personal calendar items and contacts are in the work Exchange server.  Is there a way to transfer those items to the iCloud?

    That's correct.  You can only view things you've sync with icloud i.e contacts/calendar/etc.
    You can't view your icloud backup on icloud.
    If you perform an icloud backup, then all your pictures in your camera roll is backup to the cloud.  iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview

  • Outlook Sync Problem: Spontaneous Deletions of Calendar Items

    Hi there,
    Occasionally, my Microsoft Outlook (Office 2003) decides to delete calendar items on my Curve (Verizon) or vice versa. I try changing the sync setting to one way so that whichever device has for some reason lost data gets the calendar items put back in, but now my outlook is trying to delete those items from my device calendar even though I don't want them deleted. I don't have an extraordinary amount of entries (almost 1600). Any advice? This has started happening every 2 or 3 weeks.
    Thanks!

    PS I've been reading some other threads: wondering if my calendar events get corrupted when someone outside sends me a meeting invite (I'm not on an enterprise server). Those calendar events always seem to have conflict resolution issues between my device calendar and outlook calendar. Ideas?
    (I deleted those invites off my outlook calendar and just typed in regular invites. Hopefully that will help)

  • I want to change my calendars...

    I am lazy... well, not really, but I am looking for the lazy way to do this:
    I have been pretty good about organizing my calendars so that I have a separate one for work, home, social, medical, church, family, and other random types of events. This is great...
    BUT
    I have 2 separate computers that I use, and I don't have .mac, so I can't really sync them like that. What I want to do is transfer the new items from one of my computers to the other one, but I don't want a bunch of duplicates. I am therefore trying to create a calendar that has all of the events I have created in the past month so I can take them home and put them on my computer there. I have been selecting each event and selecting this new calendar, but I was wondering if anyone had figured out a way to either drag and drop events into a calendar, or when multiple events are selected (using the event list) move all of the selected events to a different calendar. I suppose that I can take the time to go through one by one... but it is such a pain.
    So, if anyone else has either had this problem or knows how to solve it, I would like to hear from you!
    This is one of the only features I miss from the short time I used outlook... dragging and dropping events into categories and the ability to schedule meetings online and have the details automatically be entered into the calendar. It looks like there may be support for this in the new mail/ ical, but I haven't figured it out yet...
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Liz,
    You could select all the events you want, and then Control-Click one of them. This opens a contextural menu. One of the options in this menu is Calendar. You can change the calendar of all the selected events in one go from here.
    Best wishes

  • EWS API - Impersonating to update a calendar item created by any other user than a service account, raise an error "Access is denied. Check credentials and try again."

    Hi,
    I am new to using EWS managed APIs.
    Following is the issue:
    1. I am using a service account e.g. [email protected]. This user is a global administrator and also has ApplicationImpersonation role assigned. (Sign into Online Office 365 account -> Admin -> select "Exchange" tab- > select Permissions
    on the left panel -> create an impersonation role -> assign ApplicationImpersonation in Roles: and [email protected] in Members: -> Click on save)
    2. Create a calendar item by other user for e.g. [email protected], and invite an attendee - [email protected].
    3. In a c# program, I connect to EWS service using a service account - [email protected], fetch its calendar events. If organizer of an event is some other user - [email protected] then
    I use impersonation in the following way to update the calendar event/item properties- subject, body text etc.
            private static void Impersonate(string organizer)
                string impersonatedUserSMTPAddress = organizer;
                ImpersonatedUserId impersonatedUserId =
                    new ImpersonatedUserId(ConnectingIdType.SmtpAddress, impersonatedUserSMTPAddress);
                service.ImpersonatedUserId = impersonatedUserId;
    4. It was working fine till yesterday afternoon. Suddenly, it started throwing an exception "Access is denied. Check credentials and try again." Whenever I try to
    update that event.
           private static void FindAndUpdate(ExchangeService service)
                CalendarView cv = new CalendarView(DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddDays(30));
                cv.MaxItemsReturned = 25;
                try
                    FindItemsResults<Item> masterResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, cv);
                    foreach (Appointment item in masterResults.Items)
                        if (item is Appointment)
                            Appointment masterItem = item as Appointment;
                            if (!masterRecurEventIDs.Contains(masterItem.ICalUid.ToString()))
                                masterItem.Load();
                                if (!masterItem.Subject.Contains(" (Updated content)"))
                                    //impersonate organizer to update and save for further use
                                    Impersonate(masterItem.Organizer.Address.ToString());
                                    // Update the subject and body
                                    masterItem.Subject = masterItem.Subject + " (Updated content)";
                                    string currentBodyType = masterItem.Body.BodyType.ToString();
                                    masterItem.Body = masterItem.Body.Text + "\nUpdated Body Info:
    xxxxxxxxxxxx";
                                    // This results in an UpdateItem operation call to EWS.
                                    masterItem.Update(ConflictResolutionMode.AutoResolve);
                                    // Send updated notification to organizer of an appointment
                                    CreateAndSendEmail(masterItem.Organizer.Address.ToString(), masterItem.Subject);
                                    masterRecurEventIDs.Add(masterItem.ICalUid.ToString());
                                else
                                    Console.WriteLine("Event is already updated. No need to update again.:\r\n");
                                    Console.WriteLine("Subject: " + masterItem.Subject);
                                    Console.WriteLine("Description: " + masterItem.Body.Text);
                catch (Exception ex)
                    Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message);
    5. What could be an issue here? Initially I thought may be its a throttling policy which is stopping same user after making certain API call limits for the day, but I am still seeing this issue today.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Your logic doesn't sound correct here eg
    2. Create a calendar item by other user for e.g. [email protected], and invite an attendee - [email protected]
    3. In a c# program, I connect to EWS service using a service account - [email protected], fetch its calendar events. If organizer of an event is some other user - [email protected] then
    I use impersonation in the following way to update the calendar event/item properties- subject, body text etc.
    When your connecting to [email protected] mailbox the only user that can make changes to items within
    abccalendar is abc (or ABC's delegates). If your impersonating the Organizer of the appointment pqr that wouldn't work unless the organizer had rights to abc's calendar. If you want to make updates to a calendar
    appointment like that you should connect to the Organizers mailbox first update the original, send updates and then accept the updates.
    When you impersonate your impersonating the security context of the Mailbox your impersonating so its the same a logging on as that user in OWA or Outlook.

  • Contacts and calendar items disappear when exchange server is off

    Hi All
    I've been having this problem for a few weeks now and it's most frustrating. My iphone is setup to sync over the air to our corporate exchange server. It seems that when the server is down for repair/patching ALL my contacts and calendar items disappear from my iphone. This doesn't seem to happen if the phone is out of signal?
    I know that I can sync directly with Outlook, however this would then mean that the phone is only updated when synced with my laptop at work. If I sync both over the air AND with Outlook, I get duplicates of everything in my calendar.
    I'm not restoring my iphone to factory defaults to get rid of the duplicates and go back to over the air sync only.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get calendar and contacts to work "offline" when the exchange server is down?
    Main PC is running Windows 7 and exchange is 2007. This problem is only recent, I think in the last month of two. Nothing has changed other than the last few firmware updates from Apple.

    hi, cheers for the info. That would make sense, however how come when I'm out of signal and not connected to wifi, the data doesn't also disappear as that too would render the server "unavailable".
    Is there a way to make the iphone keep a copy of the data much the same as "offline mode" in Outlook where you can still browse your email, calendar and contacts when the server is offline, and it picks up where it left off when the server is available again?
    I appreciate this may not be a "problem" as such, but is frustrating as all my contacts and calendar live in Outlook and I can't function without them

  • ITunes no longer able to sync Calendar items and Bookmarks on iPhone.

    Things have been going great with syncing my iPhone through iTunes on my 24" intel iMac, until yesterday (3/9/08). I haven't changed anything in the last couple of days. I always download and install the latest iPhone, iMac, iTunes updates the same day they come out. So it's been about a week since those last updates, and things synced fine until just yesterday. I create and reschedule A LOT of calendar items on my iPhone, and create a fair amount of bookmarks as well.
    Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Wayne

    Well, it's been over a week now, and still no real answers on how to fix this syncing issue. Does anyone know how to revert my iPhone to the previous version of its software? Things worked fine until the recent update.
    I've even opened up my quandry to Cliff and the forum gang at GSPN.tv's "Help iGot a Mac" podcast and forums. Here is the link to that thread: http://gspn.tv/forum/index.php?topic=977.0
    Maybe together, a better solution that a full iPhone restore is out there (I just can't risk losing the 120+ calendar items I've created on my iPhone since the last successful sync with my iMac).
    Thanks in advance,

  • Can´t create an afternoon Outlook calendar item on iCloud

    I am using iCloud to synchronize items with my Mac. Outlook is configured with three calendars, its native calendar tied to my Outlook email address, a second calendar that I do not use tied to a generic email address that I do use, and the iCloud calendar. I am on temporary assignment in Mexico and the standard language setup is the following: OS menus are in English. Outlook menus are in English. Email text editing language is Spanish. Calendar items are in Spanish. The date format is Spanish using a.m. and p.m.
    If I try to create an item in my iCloud calendar from Outlook, it will not allow me to specify a time in the afternoon. Any attempt to do so still results in getting an appointment for the same time in the morning (or, rather, very early morning). For example, I create an appointment for 2 p.m. It ends up being for 2 a.m. If I change it to 3 p.m., it ends up being changed to 3 a.m.
    The workaround is to set up the item in the Outlook calendar for either of the email addresses, then dragging it into the iCloud calendar. Alternatively, the incorrect item in the iCloud calendar can be dragged into the Outlook calendar, adjusted to p.m., and then dragged back into iCloud.
    Naturally, this does not happen on the Mac.
    Is anyone aware of a fix for this?
    The Mac is a MacBook Pro running Mavericks, but this problem really happens independently from the Mac. The version of Windows is Windows 7 Enterprise, 6.1.7601 (SP1). I am using Outlook 2013. iCloud control panel is 3.1.

    Taken from the main screen of the iCloud.com website:
    "To use iCloud, first set it up with your Apple ID on a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion."
    Did you follow this advice?

  • Email attachment to calendar item can't be viewed in Webacc

    We have a user that is posting Calendar items for his boss. He creates the item and then drags and drops an email to attach it to the meeting item. All is well in the Groupwise Client but if the Calendar item is viewed in Web Access, you can not see the body of the item OR the email attachment.
    Anybody have any ideas how to create an item such as this and make it viewable in Web Access?
    I spoke with him about "Change to . . ." but then the email is removed from the Mailbox. They want the email to remain but the content to be attached to the Calendar item.
    Any thoughts?

    Which Version of GroupWise are you using? I have GW 7.0.3 Version

    works. I'm able to open the attachment from IE 8.
    Note: I posted the message as a Task by dragging it to my calendar icon
    in GW Client and selecting Task as the type.

  • Outlook calendar items not visible in Day view - but in Today view!

    Hi All,
    I'm synchronising calendar items from the iPhone to Outlook 2003 (setup with Exchange 2003). After synchronisation the calendar items they first show in the Day/Week/Month view. But after changing the view all items synchronised from th e iPhone disappear! Strangly, in the Outlook Today view the calendar items are there and visible ok.
    Can anybody help please. Thanks!

    Having the same problem -- AppleBruce's fix didn't work for me -- and as I don't want to cross-post, the Topic "*iPhone will not sync to Outlook 2007 after 2.0 & iTunes 7.7 update*!" is also working on this issue. (My post from that Topic is below)
    +Guys - for those of you that can't sync iPhone to Outlook 2003/07, check this out first:+
    +Instead of using the Outlook view "Day/Week/Month," switch to the view, "Active Appointments." I originally thought my sync wasn't working, but all my appointments show in that view ... just not in the view I need and use the most -- the "Day/Week/Month" view!+
    +I've followed AppleBruce's suggestion to the "T" twice, and it doesn't solve this issue (but thanks for that post ... it did clean up my calendar a bit!)+

  • Calendar items get deleted after computer restart

    Hi, I keep having this problem of my calendar items getting deleted/cleared after I restart my computer. Basically, I sync my handheld on two computers, one is work PC and the other my home PC. Changes are done on both PCs. I modify items on my work PC then sync with the handheld. When I get home, mostly during weekends, I also sync my handheld with my home PC. No modifications are done on the handheld. These past few days, I just noticed my calendar items in the Palm Desktop that the items I added/modified a day ago is no longer there. I have already lost a couple of appointments because of this. Please help.

    With Palm desktop 6.2 there is an issue with losing data but it is mostly seen on Vista systems. This issue has been escalated to Palm Engineering. 
    When you shutdown your PC, do you close Palm desktop or leave it open? We have seen leaving Palm desktop open, when the PC is shut down, to cause data loss. Another cause of data loss can happen by having Palm desktop open when a Windows update occurs. If you are not using Palm desktop, close it.
    Here is a procedure for recovering the data.
    You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. Using Palm Desktop version 6.2 the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak. For 6.2, the files are located in the username folder in PalmOSdesktop in my documents.
    The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in Palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=26674
    Here is another link regarding data loss;
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=39503
    The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
    Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.
    Here is a link for other options for backing up your data;
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28751
    Here is a procedure for backing up your data for disaster recovery, like this situation.
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
    Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
    With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
    Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
    With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

  • Add resources to Outlook calendar item

    We use Office 365 for small businesses and have a common problem when creating calendar items and inviting attendees.
    Whenever an appointment is created and attendees invited, the attendees themselves cannot add further resources to the appointment. Is there any way to change settings in Exchange or Outlook that will enable invited attendees to add
    more attendees or resources via the scheduling assistant?

    Hi,
    Based on the description, you want to achieve this goal that the attendees get this appointment and add new attendees to this appointment. If I misunderstood you concern, please let me know.
    Per my knowledge, I'm afraid we can't do this in Exchange 2013. I'm not sure Outlook can work out this issue, you can ask this question in the Outlook forum, you might get a better answer there.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-us/home?forum=outlook
    Assuming here you environment is Exchange 2013, if your environment is Office 365, the Office 365 forum can be a better place to answer your question.

  • Shared calendar items in multi-user calendar view

    Hi!
    I have another question:
    The new multi-user Calendar-view is great - but we have one thing, which
    is confusing to our users:
    User A has a shared calendar (the owner of this shared calendar is User
    B). It is clear, that User A can see appointments of this shared
    calendar in his "main Calendar" if this shared calendar is "enabled".
    But User A cannot see the calendar items of this foreign shared
    calendar, if he changes to the new multi-user - view.
    Does this work as designed or is it a bug?
    Thanks a lot

  • Filter Shared Calendar Items content based on user

    Hi
    I am very new to Exchange development and need to find a solution to this problem:
    My outlook users must be able to view the complete calendar item description only if their name is mentioned in it. Else only the first few lines.
    I have researched into Transport Agents but I'm not sure if it can intercept Calendar changes.
    If someone could point me in the right direction.
    Thanks in advance,
    Divish

    For a conference room (or meeting room) you don't need to store that information eg who as user is going to look at the conference room calendar for that information ? An attendee or Organizer  will always refer to the appointment in their own calendar
    which will have that information. That's why with the Set-CalendarProcessing cmdlet
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335046%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx you can configure the meeting room to automatically delete the Subject and Body of the appointment it automatically accepts eg
    The DeleteComments parameter specifies whether to remove or keep any text in the message body of incoming meeting requests.
    and
    The DeleteSubject parameter specifies whether to remove or keep the subject of incoming meeting requests. Valid input for this parameter is $true or $false.
    The default value is $true.
    If you enable both of these setting it means anybody that does look in the Meeting Room Mailbox will only see that its booked for that period and who the organiser is.
    Cheers
    Glen
