8900 deletes old calendar items on wired sync

I have an 8900 that I wire sync to Outlook 2003 on my PC. Have calendar dates back to 2000. It will sync but alwasy wants to delete things in 2000 and now 2001. So I have to fish them out of the deleted items in Outlook and put them back. Memory seems to be fine on the BB and settings are "forever" and "two way sync." Any thoughts? 

You know, something tells me in the back of my head that I've read something of a ten year past event limit, but I can't lay my finger on it just now.
Meanwhile, there's this... Article ID: KB18694 Calendar items occurring in the past are being deleted from the calendar application on the computer
Not much help now.
Let me ask, do you archive these events in Outlook? Why do you want to keep all that on your BlackBerry (not that it matters, just curious, when you have other "better" options, than on the device itself).

  • Delete old calendar items on iCloud

    Hello,
    we are using the calendar on iPad Mini synchronizing the entries with iCloud. We can deactivate old calendar items but this doesn't delete them. How can we delete old entries from the calendar (e.g. older than 3 months) and therefore, also delete them from the iCloud storage?
    Kind regards,
    Mike

    On the next sync, you can choose to replace all events on the iphone.
    This option is found at the bottom of the info tab in itunes.
    Befor you use this, make sure that any events on the iphone have ben moved to the computer.
    Hope this helps.

  • Delete old calendar items

    I have the iPhone 1.1.2 connected to Outlook 2007 thru iTunes 7.5 , running on Vista (Bad, I know). I already downloaded 3 bug fixes from Microsoft that made iTunes finally sync properly on my Sony VAIO... There is a setting on iTunes that says: DO NOT SYNC EVENTS OLDER THAN X. I selected 5 days, yet I can still see events from 3 weeks ago... any way to delete those old events? if not eventually they will consume memory that is much needed for songs. Any setting I am missing either on iTunes or the iPhone settings menu?

  • Can you archive old calendar items in Entourage so you don't run out of space on your Blackberry?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Sprint Pearl 8130 and I am syncing with PocketMac to Entourage 2004 on an iBook G4 running OS 10.3.
    Most of my syncing issues are minor (for some reason, in contacts, work and home email addresses switch fields, but I can live with that) and I don't have too many complaints about PocketMac for now....
    My question is - Does anyone know how to archive old calendar items so that my Blackberry doesn't run out of space? I have calendar items going back to the beginning of 2008.  I don't need past calendar items on my Blackberry, except for reoccurring items, like birthdays and such, and maybe a month's worth of old appointments just for reference.  My Blackberry has run out of space a couple of times and when it deletes the appointments from my Blackberry, syncing wants to either delete from the Mac or restore to the Blackberry.  I know you can do this with a Palm and their Palm software, since I used to have one and I was able to archive items older than a week.  Then you would be able to access them in a separate archive profile.
    I have searched everywhere and the closest thing I can find is to purchase Missing Sync and set to match my sync date range.  https://support.markspace.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=327.  But that doesn't really solve my issue of running out of space on my Blackberry.  The other thing that I could think of is to export the calendar items into a .rge file, then delete the calendar items from there, sync, and have PocketMac remove items from my Blackberry, but it would be a pain to easily access old calendar items.
    I appreciate any thoughts, ideas and especially solutions!

    I have the exact opposite issue you mentioned
    my client wants his archived calender items to be synched to his 8830 world wide ed.
    he is running RIM software (DesktopManager) v 6.4
    BES 2007
    current issue is that his archived old calendars are not synchronizing to his handheld; we tried to force his PC to synch those items manually through cable, which didn't help, since our BES policy force waireless synch policy to the device and wireless synch never can see the archived items files
    I think if you can set the option on your device so it turns on the calendar wireless synch, and also make sure MAC does not select archive to synch
    Calendar > Options > General settings or /Wireless synch set to ON;
    if you running BES set Calendar Wireless synch off

  • Syncing deletes outlook calendar items

    Hello,
    I've looked at past postings and found no resolutions there... PLEASE HELP!
    When I sync my Blackberry curve 8330 with outlook 2007 it wants to delete all calendar items before October.  Fortunately I saw it said '367' deletions before I clicked ok, but it means I cannot sync my calendar with the BB.
    I have XP, Outlook 2007
    Desktop Manager 4.7.0.32
    I need this fixed urgently.  
    BTW, I also changed the setting on the BB calendar to 'keep items forever' and it did not resolve the issue.
    Thank you,
    Shane

    Doesn't anyone have any suggestions or help with this issue? 

  • Sync continues to delete past calendar items despite fixes

    I have a Tour 9630 and since lates upgrade of Desktop Software, sync of calendar items wants to delete past calendar items from computer Outlook 2007. I have followed instructions from KB18694 but no change in sync problem. 
    Help!

    Hi pjrobbins,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    What version of BlackBerry Desktop Software do you have installed? Can you please check to make sure the past calendar items are all still showing on your BlackBerry smartphone before trying to synchronize again. Can you then let me know if you receive this prompt when the calendar entries being deleted on the computer are still on your BlackBerry smartphone?
    I look forward to your reply.

  • Deleting old calendar events

    Is there any way to delete old events from the calendar, eg. from 2007 back for instance? This includes iphone, mobileme and home computers.

    Depends entirely on the calendar app you're using. On the iPhone, no. But, if you are syncing via iTunes, there's a checkbox to eliminate syncing of events older than a certain number of days. Outlook (Windows) has an archiving tool which can delete old calendar events. iCal (Mac) does not.

  • Issues with old calendar items after migration from SBS2008R1 to Windows 2012R2+Exchange 2013

    Hello,
    After migrating a customer from Windows Small Business Server 2008 R1 to Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (DC) and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 & Exchange 2013 there are a few issue regarding
    the GAL and old migrated calender items that we are unable to resolve:
    Old calender items which were Exported to PST when the Server 2008 R1 environment was still live were imported to the new mailbox of the user, located on the Exchange 2013 mail database. This
    seemed to be working just fine.
    The problems arise when a user tries to edit or re-send an old calender item. There actually are 2 problems:
    1. When resending an old calender item, OLD GAL entries are used (even when re-entering the contact details) and the emails are send to nobody and you get the mail back from postmaster
    2. When updating an old calender item you get an error that you do not have permissions, probably because you are NOT the 'old' Exchange user.
    Thanks in advance!

    Did you use Exmerge or similar to export?
    You may have an issue like that explained here.

  • 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)

  • Calendar sync problem - can't delete old calendar ...

    i have a nokia 6680. i've connect it with my phone via cable and have been syncing with Outlook.
    it is set up with the default settings whereby it is supposed to put items up to a week in the past and a month in the future onto the phone. however, it is syncing ALL calendar items.
    has anyone else had this problem? is there a fix?
    or is there a way i can delete calendar items from the phone without having to manually delete each one?

    Hi,
    This issue was earlier i am not sure about the latest PC Suite 7.0.7.0? Why dont u check with the latest PC Suite???

  • Old Outlook Calendar items not staying synced on Razr Maxx

    I sync my corporate exchange Outlook calendar with my phone and it seems to sync fine.  But it does appear that after a few weeks, most appointments (but not all) disappear.  I can't find an option to keep all old appointments for any period of time.  Suggestions?

    DaveJ1 - what service?? I'm not syncing with google calendar, but between my phone calendar and exchange work Outlook. I haven't tried deleting the calendar and re-adding it. May try that next (yes, I'm still having problems)...

  • Deleting All Calendar items

    I activated my iPhone at the Apple Store and unfortunatley got all the calendar items that were on the computer which obviously aren't mine and I do not want. How do I delete ALL the calendar items so I can start fresh. I do not want to reset because I already manually put in all my phone numbers from my other phone. Thanks for your help.

    Hobbers,
    All you would have to do is select the calendars that you want to sync from your computer. Under the Info tab in iTunes just select to sync your calendar and at the bottom of the same page in advance options select to replace the information.

  • Losing old calendar items

    When I last hot-synced in June, all my calendar items older than 1 year were deleted from my Palm.  I want them back.  They are on my Outlook calendar.  I tried syncing with neither overwriting the other, but that didn't work.  Any help?
    Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

    I am sorry but I do not understand the question. There is no 'info tab' under my Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences on the iPhone. Just the 3 preference options that I described. Nor is there an Info tab anywhere in iCal on my Mac or indeed anything else allowing syncing calendars within a specified timescale. When I stood next to my colleague earlier today, under his preferences on the iPhone he DID have an extra preference, with options to choose a period of time. It was this that made me thing I needed to update the software to 4.0.2 which I have done.

  • Calendar Items Not Fully Syncing

    Platform Version - 3.1.0.72
    Application Version - 4.3.0.127
    Calendar items (all day events, meetings and appointments) shown on future dates in Blackberry calendar will not sync to Outlook OR to ASCII file.  They are definitely visible in the Blackberry.  However, after a sync (to Outlook or to an ASCII file) they are not visible in either Outlook or the ASCII file.  Any thoughts?
    The calendar sync had been working well.  Then, all of a sudden, my calendar in Outlook dropped future events, meetings and appointments (collectively "events").  The future "events" are still visible in the Blackberry.  But they will not sync in to Outlook OR to an ASCII file.  I have tried (multiple times) to sycn "two way" and "from device to Outlook/file" with all of the various settings.  No conflicts occur.  Neither work.  Another interesting point -- I can set new "events" in Outlook or the Blackberry and they sync fine.  I can also delete the "events" in either Outlook or the Blackberry and they are synced fine.  Only some of the older "events" in the Blackberry (which have been there for a week +/-) will not sycn to Outlook or the ASCII file.
    Your input is appreciated.  I hate to re-enter 250+ "events". . .

    ewww
    when you create an email on your device, and it because the defaulot service it is supposed to absorbe the device default... looks like it didnt.
    you will need to do an advanced backup without anything calendar(rename so you know which it is)
    then you need to do another backup with JUST *calendar - all* (rename so you know which it is)
    then you need to perform a security wipe (options- security options- general- menu button- wipe handheld... avoid 3rd party)
    then connect to the network
    log into your BIS account and send your servicebooks
    once you have your email attached, make sure it is the deffualt for CICAL
    then restore JUST the calendar all file and test
    if all goes well, then you can restore everything else

  • My calendar items are not syncing via iCloud.

    My calendar items are no longer syncing from my iPhone to my iMac via iCloud.  In Settings - iCloud, my iPhone says that Calendars are syncing.  iTunes on my iMac says the same thing.  On my iMac, iCloud settings won't let me check Calendars, though.  My iPad and iPhone are syncing just fine.

    but I've restarted my iPhone just the other day (for a different reason) and it didn't affect the iCloud calendar... don't know why it did today,
    Because "resetting" like I suggested is not the same as "restarting".
    You wouldn't know how to get iCal to update on a iMac that doesn't have Lion installed, would you? 
    Unfortunately, you need a Mac running Lion v10.7.2
    You're welcome
