Calendar sync problem - eliminates events older than 2 weeks

I sync my blackberry to my Mac using Blackberry Desktop manager. It works fine except that it erases all events older than 2 weeks old......this is not what i want it to do. I have adjusted the desktop manager to sync "all events" but it continues to erase older events.
What must I adjust to allow sync of all events (old, current and future). I keep older events for various purposes including to remind me of past events and information.
Help.

try going to blackberry calendar options and set calendar data duration for "forever".. lot of records to sync, but you keep them.

Calendar search not finding calendar events older than a year.

Calendar search cannot find events older than a year.
neither does spotlight search.
iphone 4s 16GB ios version 7.1.2
ipad 32GB with retina (purchased on 2012) ios version 7.1.2
Does anybody has the same issue?
Calendar events over one year old are not found when searched on iOS. Neither on the iPhone nor the iPad. Although they are found on a mac running mavericks calendar app.
All events are displayed when going directly to the month and viewing all the events of each day, but she search feature, the one accessed through the little magnifier, simply cannot find any event older than a year.
I have multiple events in my calendar and I tested them and the last I can find is within 365 days of today. after that events cannot be found.
steps to reproduce:
1. go into the calendar app on the iPhone and add an event but use a date date 13 months older than the current date. Save the event.
2. verify the even is created by looking at the day of the event
3. on the top right corner of the calendar app select the magnifying glass and try to search the event by typing any word you used on the title of the event just created
4. search result will display No Results
5. exit the calendar and access spotlight search on the home screen by using the "pull down" gesture from an area outside of the dock, including the top row of app icons. Type any word you used on the title of the event just created
6. search result will not display the event

Does Your Exchange Calendar Currently Show Events More Than 2 Weeks Old?

Quick question: Can you view any exchange calendar items on your Pre which you have created on your desktop and which are more than two weeks old as you read this post? I can't. After several hours of support chat and then an "elevation" to phone support, I was told by Palm telephone support that this was a new feature after Webos 1.2.1.
However, two things make me doubt that this is true:
1) Other Pre users on precentral.net report that they have installed 1.2.1 and they can still see exchange calendar events older than two weeks.
2) I noticed something really weird: I had deleted my exchange account and was re-adding it in an attempt to solve the problem. The account was syncing but I was watching my screen and it was displaying the monthly view of September, 2009. When the account was almost done syncing, I saw the calendar "flicker" a couple of times and when it did, I could see that there were all my grayed out September dates. Then it said that sync was complete and all events before 9/30/09 disappeared.
SO...I'm thinking that the data is actually in the phone but just not displaying on the calendar! That is really weird and would seem to be a true "bug" to me. For my job, I really need to be able to look back and verify what appointments occurred on what dates in the past. The Iphone and Blackberry users at my office that use the same exchange server can look back months and years at their old events.
If you are reading this could you please reply to let me know if this is a unique issue for me or whether others are having the same experience? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Joe

Very similar issue here. I am syncing my Pre with Google Mail. Don't even ASK what a hassle it was to get my Entourage contacts into Gmail and have everything populate the correct fields. A freakin' NIGHTMARE.
That said, the syncing with synergy seems to work well, with one major drawback. No calendar entries older than two months. This renders my calendar virtually useless. What is the POINT of this stupidity. I am perfectly capable of deciding if I want to use my pre's storage for older entries.
Unbelievable. I really hope palm gets it's head in gear and starts supporting its loyal users. Much more of this, and I will jump to virtually ANY other smart phone.

Hello, My iCal don't synchronize older events than two or three month ago. How can I do to synchronize all my schedule? In iTunes it's all right in Calendars. I don't put a cross in "synchronize event older than ....... days". Thanks for answer.

Just saw your post. Better late than never. You may want to
consider GameBrix.com, where you can create Flash based, casual
games using your web browser. No downloads are required. You can
create a game from scratch using a library of images, sounds and
game mechanics. You can also upload your own. The online script
editor will allow you to view and edit the ActionScripts associated
with each game mechanic. In short, a great way to ramp up on game
design and build your own game without investing a lot of $
upfront.
BTW I am associated with GameBrix so any feedback is
appreciated.

How do you sync Calendar information older than 2 weeks to PALM TX?

Occasionally, I will change information which is older than two weeks in the past on my Oracle Calendar client running on my Windows XP Pro OS. When I sync the data to my Palm TX, it does not get transfered back to my TX calendar. How can I successfully transfer changes (two weeks in the past and beyond) which I make on the PC calendar program to over to my TX so I can read/reference it when I'm away from my desk?
Post relates to: Palm TX

This depends on the program you are using to sync between Oracle and Palm Desktop. See if Palm Desktop is first keep up to date. If not there is a communication break down between Palm Desktop and Oracle. Unfortunately this is something we(Palm Techs) know anything about. There could be others that do on here another would be place to know would be www.treocentral.com.

KEEP events older than 1 month

I fear I may be one of the more unusual iCal/iSync users in that I need to retain ALL prior events in my calendar when syncing with my Sony Ericsson W850i. I appear to only have 4 options in iSync - none of which allow me to keep events older than 1 month. Does anyone have a workaround for this? ...or am I just being stupid?

Thanks for your response Julian - it might not be the answer I wanted but I appreciate your time and information. My life isn't that exciting so it actually isn't a huge amount of data that needs syncing - there are just key dates that I sometimes need to have handy when I'm out and about. I've been syncing the lot with Sony Ericsson's latest PC Suite which is surprisingly quite good but sadly isn't available for Mac (I am brand spanking new to the world of the Mac and mostly enjoying it enormously !!). I think what I was hoping is that someone would have one of those cheeky Terminal commands that 'simply' amends that specific criteria... ah well. Perhaps I can ask another quick one - if I do sync with iSync I take it that iCal will retain all my older events regardless of what gets synced to the mobile?

ICal server not sending events older than 10 days

Have just discovered an issue with our iCal Server that I hope someone can help me resolve. It seems that sometime in the last few days, or past week. the iCal Server (running on a Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 setup) has stopped sending out any events older than 10 or so days for 6 of the 7 calendar calDAV accounts that we all subscribe too. All future events on each calendar appear to be visible. The situation is consistent across of all of our Desktop's, MacBook Pro's and iPhone's so it is not localized to any single machine. It is also consistent when I subscribed through a third party calnedar application (BusyCal).
I have gone into the ~/Library/CalendarServer/Documents and although I could not access the folders directly, I did copy the folder and its contents to another hard drive where I was able to view what was inside. It appears that all of the individual event .ics files for each account are in their respective subfolders, but they are not being served out to the subscribers.
Any ideas on how to get these older events to become visible again would be very much appreciated. I am not very well versed on this type of thing and am learning on the fly.
Shawn

I'm having this same issue and I'm really ticked off.
When I upgraded today, I received a message saying that because I had so many events in the past that it would take longer to upgrade everything. It said that all my current and future events had been updated, but the past events would be available in 1 hour. Well, it's been a lot of 1 hours since then and nothing. All my events have been deleted from my MacPro, MacBook Pros, and iPhone. I'm holding out hope for them to reappear in the morning.
I know this isn't part of this thread, but I thought I'd throw it out anyway. Why are my subscribed calendars NOT visible online. Apple made an announcement in the past celebrating the ability to view subscribed calendars online when they once could not. Now with a new ADVANCEMENT, we've regressed and I cannot view subscribed calendars online. I hate to break it to Apple, but I use these subscribed calendars in my scheduling and planning, too. I still need to see them online just as I do on my computer and phone. So with all the updating and wonderful features, the lack of this one makes MobileMe online calendars useless to me and others.
One step forward, two steps back.

Why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days?

why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days? I really do not understand why if iCal can sync all events, even the very old, the spotlight will not be able to search on events older than 365 days; why? is absurd; let's say I want to search for a person contained in an old appointment: iCal in your Mac with a few key words, I find it right away, but this important feature on the iPhone is locked; we have in our pockets phones are very sophisticated, but it does not manage to make things really trivial.

Records in a table that are not older than two weeks

Hey everyone,
I have a mysql table which has a column DATE which contains the date the enty was inserted
I need to write a script which keeps only those records that are no older than two weeks.
Can this be done in sql?
I can do it in Java but I guess this is not the most efficient way.
I use jsp and servlets in my app.

I just tried out the above code:
DELETE FROM myTableHere WHERE DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 14 DAY) <= DATE;This is the error that I got:
mysql> DELETE FROM myTableHere WHERE DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 14 DAY) <= DATE;
ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'DATE' in 'where clause'
mysql>
my sql table has the currentDate column which specifies the current date and time when this entry was inserted into the DB. To get current date and time I use 'now()' function of sql.
what is the problem?
Thanks.

Calendar events older than a month have disappeared!

I use the calendar on my iPhone and iPad, also synced with my husbands phone) for all our business appointments. In searching for a past appointment the other day, I suddenly discovered that any appointment or event created more than 4 weeks ago has disappeared, from all devices! This is a major headache for us as we rely on using previous events to help book future appointments etc!
Is this normal? Are events only stored for a period of time? I had assumed they would stay until someone deleted them!
Really grateful for any help as may have to stop using this feature if it doesn't store events!
Thanks

The events should come back. Try refreshing the calendar. Launch the calendar app and tap the calendar button at the bottom. Pull down on the window that opens to refresh the events.

How to keep iCal events older than 90 days?

We use one of our iCal calendars for business, and we need to refer back to client appointments that occurred several months in the past. However, despite unchecking all the "Delete events" options in Prefs, any appointment older than 90+ days is gone. This is extremely annoying for all concerned. Is there a fix, or do we have to use something like Google calendar and link to it? I'm looking for a simple solution for everyone in the office.

I am having the same issue in a slightly different way.
Have a main calendar server I connect to at work and iCal syncs via CalDAV.
Nothing over about 90 days is getting pulled down even after deleting the calendar.
I am not the only one at work with a Mac that faces this issue.

IPad Calendar sync problem

Hello. I have a strange problem that has come up within the past few weeks.
When I create a new event in the calendar app on my iPad2 (ver 6.1.3), it doesn't sync with my other devices or iCloud. But, when I create a new event on any other device, my iPad will sync and the event will appear in the calendar.
So far I've tried going to settings>iCloud and turning Calendars OFF, then turning it back on. No luck there.
Any other suggestions? Thank you!

Calendar syncing problems with outlook and iphone

Months and months ago I had the following window pop up when I go to sync my phone:
"synching with iphone will change more than XX% of your calendars"
First I have to say the vagueness of Apples messages is disappointing. This message does not convey to me exactly what its going to do if I accept the message. This is my first apple product and I love my iphone, but itunes and everything related to the PC is disappointing! Anyway, I have been hitting cancel because when I attempt to lookup the problem online in a Google search I don't find any quick definitive answers. I no longer use outlook on this computer, so I want all the calendar entries in the phone to remain the same. I've attempted to uncheck calendar syncing and get the following message:
"Itunes will no longer sync calendars to the Iphone. Would you like itunes to remove calendars previously synced to you iphone"
Once again, the infamous apple user friendliness I've heard so much about doesn't seam to be true! This message is so vague. What calendars is it going to remove, the ones on the pc or the phone? And why would it remove anything, I just want it to stop syncing. Urg, frustraded. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Originally all of Apple products were intended for use with Mac computers. Macs have default program - iCal to sync calendars. Windows default program is ironically Microsoft Outlook. There couple more options in iTunes for
calendar sync, but those need to be chosen and not default.
In your particular situation since you don't have outlook anymore, you don't need to make any changes. No outlook - no sync. Apple way - no user interference nessesary.
Please do remember that everyting I write is just my opinion, nothing more or less.

Outlook 2003 + iPhone calendar sync problem solved

Here is how I solved my sync problem. Seems a lot of people have the same problem here with Outlook sync suddenly not working after it worked fine for a long time.
I've had Outlook 2003 calendar sync with my iPhone for a few month without any problem, but a few days ago the sync suddenly stopped without any error message. iTunes Diagnostic found no problem and I followed all the steps that Apple outlines to fix the problem but nothing worked (TS2776).
As Apple asked to, I created a new user account on my Windows machine and setup a few test calendar entries to sync with my iPhone. That all worked fine.
So I did what Apple doesn't tell you, and I copied my original Outlook Data file (.PST) over to my new user account and tried to sync that one. Now this didn't work. So I knew the problem lies somewhere in my PST file.
I have then tried to create a new one from scratch in my original Windows account, and copy all the data over. Again, it didn't work. So I emptied the file again, and copied all my calendar entries over to the new PST file in batches (first 10, then another 10, etc).
What I found at the end is that one single calendar entry I created a few days ago caused my sync to stop working. Once I removed this entry, everything worked fine again. Don't ask me what was wrong with it (I made a backup just in case Apple wants to see it), but now everything works again.
If you want to save some time to find which one it is, you may start deleting entries that you created just recently before it stopped working.
Hope that helps.

Hi im having the same problem. I use outlook 2003 on windows xp and until recently my sync (using usb) was working fine. Now it would seem that calendar items are no longer syncing. can you give any further details of the calendar entry which was causing your problem? im wondering if it was added on a certain date perhaps.
I am running the inbox repair tool to see if my pst file has any problems but would appreciate any other help in the mean time.
Cheers
