Attempting to delete future occurences of Calendar items.

I cannot delete Calendar items that are recurring (set to occur weekly, monthly, annually).  When I do, they pop right back in.  When deleting a recurring calendar item, the options given are: "Delete All Future Events" and "Delete Only This Event".  Neither option works for me - the calendar items pop back in within seconds.  How to resolve this?  I can only delete single-occuring calendar items.  Thank you!

Found time to fiddle with a powershell script again and have run into an issue. I am a marketing guy fiddling with powershell, so please be gentle!I am attempting to remove only the shortcuts in a directory but am not having a lot of luck.Powershell#Clear out previous contents of "$env:appdata\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu"$startMenu = "$env:appdata\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu"Get-ChildItem $startMenu -Include *.lnk| foreach ($_) {Remove-Item $_.FullName}This code works if i remove "-Include *.lnk" from the line, but then it asks if i also want to remove the "Programs" folder, which i don't. Is there a different way to ask for only the shortcuts in the directory?Ill add that the reason i want to remove these shortcuts is that the rest of the script pushes a bunch of shortcuts INTO this folder and i wanted to ensure any old shortcuts...

    How do I remove an alert for a calendar item that has long since been deleted? and yet goes off mysteriously, un-deletably, and un-editably every single ****** week !!

    I have the same problem with my iPhone.  I set up a recurring calendar event for every Thursday.  That event is no longer happening during the summer, so I went in and chose one from the current month and selected Delete.  Then it gve me two choices, one of which was to Delete All Future Events of this one, and that's what I chose.  I figured, this way, I'll still be able to see the ones from the past, but won't have to see (or hear the alert) for the future ones.
    The following week, my phone alerted me to the appointment, and even showed it on the initial screen, even though it wasn't in the calendar.  I went in to the calendar and NOTHING was scheduled for that day.  So why is this happening?
    So I set up a new recurring event, for in the past, then went in and deleted all furture occurances, and it did the same thing... still alerted to an event that was no longer in the calendar.
    I hope somebody else has found a fix, or at least a reason for why this is happening.

  • Deleted calendar items still appearing on iPhone

    Calendar items deleted on the PC (Outlook 2003 or Entourage 2008 - 12.1.7, - both linked to Exchange Server 2007) remain in the iPhone (OS 2.2.1) calendar. I am using wireless Exchange ActiveSync.
    It was working fine, but has now stopped removing deleted items.
    Calendar items added on the iPhone show up in Outlook/Entourage, so no problem in this area.
    I have tried turning 'off' the Calendar on the iPhone, then turning in 'on', allowing it to re-sync, but this has not solved the problem. My MobileMe accounts are all fine.
    I had Xerox DocuShare client add-on installed on Outlook 2003, but this was installed well before the problem appeared. It have uninstalled it, just to be sure, but the issue was not resolved.
    I am mystified as to why this issue should appear. Any ideas? Thanks in anticipation.

    Thanks for the suggestion Allan.
    I deleted the Exchange account and recreated it. Unfortunately the deleted items still appear.
    I thought it may be linked to the deletion of single occasions of repeating events, but the failure of single events to delete from the iPhone is also apparent. I appreciate the help.

  • 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 installed ios6 on my iPad3 and now all my calendar items are gone, how do I get them back? I tried deleting my account and adding it back I. Still no calendar

    I Installed ios6 on my iPad and now all my calendar items are gone.  I tried deleting my email account and adding it back in but still no calendar items

    I had the same problem on my iphone 4s and before I had realized it my phone synced up with my computer and deleted  all the appointments in my outlook calendar as well.  I run microsoft exchange and unfortunately my ISP doesnt backup for me so I am left reconstructing my calendar from scratch. Apple support said they had no idea why this had happened and couldnt help me.  Not very reassuring.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Outlook Calendar items added and deleted at same time

    I have several repeating calendar items (like birthdays) in my Outlook calendar.  When I sync, I find that some are added (that I thought were there before) but some show as added and deleted at the same time to my blackberry... any ideas what may be causing the confusion?

    I find myself with the same issue, I just wiped my computer and began syncing and installing all programs back into laptop,now i have noticed that outlook does not add the some events in my calender, for instance, birthdays , one thing that i have noticed is that it only syncs items that have my work email, my other 2 emails are not being synced and those are my blackberry and personal emails.
    my syncing preferences are made to go both way sync ... what seems to be the problem 
    thanks 

  • 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? 

  • Is it possible to accidentally delete all calendar items on iphone?

    I cannot access any future or past appointments on my calendar. They were there one minute, gone the next. Only thing on my calendar are birthdays. I did update my software and register icloud 5 days ago, but calendar items are not showing up on my macbook either.

    If you check your all programs list (wherever that is in the newer versions of Android), is Firefox still listed?
    Mozilla doesn't provide an email service, just the browser, so if you aren't able to find your mail account, consider whether it is a different Gmail account, or Yahoo, Hotmail, or another webmail service.

  • Cannot delete calendar items, even with delete permission

    Hello,
    we have applied the following GPO Setting on per User basis:
    Store deleted items in owner's mailbox instead of delegate's Mailbox
    As we moved from Lotus Notes to Outlook and  are using some shared Mailbox, this option is a must have for us.
    The negative part: A User that want's to share his calendar with someone else and gives delete permission (for example publishing Editor)
    cannot delete items. If the Users gives "author" permission on his own "deleted items" Folder in his Mailbox, it's working.
    When you know it, it seems logically, but uncomfortable for the user.
    Is there another way to work around the issue, for example set the author automatically when applying delete permission on calendar items, if the mentioned GPO is applied.
    It think this might be a good patch for Outlook :-)

    Hi,
    Just as you mentioned, it is logical and it's the expected behavior. This issue occurs because the Deleted Items folder is not granted permissions when delegates are set in Outlook. There is no way to automatically set the author when applying delete
    permission on calendar items. If it's an unwanted item, we can just hold Shift key and delete the calendar item. This will permanently delete the item without moving it to Deleted Items folder. Or, we have to grant the delegate at least author level permissions
    to the Deleted Items folder of the owner's mailbox in Outlook. See:

  • Default Calendar Items Will Not Delete or Integrate!

    HELP! - Hope some good detail.  I think others are struggling with this:
    I have an 8330 from Verizon and somehow most of my calendar appointments have been moved into Default Device, as opposed to being tied to my single Verizon/MSN Calendar CICAL.  Guessing, but I think this happened when I got disconnected from email for some reason, which is again is MSN email passed through Verizon.  I called Verizon, and I know they "re-registered" or "reintegrated" me and sent new service books, which worked for re-establishing email.
    But I suspect it overwrote my email calendar CICAL which kicked all appointments into Default - just a total guess.  I didn't notice until trying sync a little later and the process wanted to delete all Outlook appointments; apparently the Default Calendar is not visible to sync.  By the time I noticed, I had 4 new appointments in my new msn.com CICAL, and 99 in Device Default. 
    There is a workaround fix I saw in another thread which should have worked - KB16063 below:
    Cause 3
    Meetings created in Microsoft Outlook are being synchronized to the BlackBerry smartphone's base system calendar, instead of the database belonging to the BlackBerry Internet Service [CICAL] service record.
    Workaround
    Clear and restore the calendar data on the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Using BlackBerry Desktop Manager, back up the BlackBerry smartphone calendar data. For instructions, see KB11297.
    Using BlackBerry Desktop Manager clear the BlackBerry smartphone calendar database.  For instructions, see KB05340.
    Manually delete all but one BlackBerry Internet Service [CICAL] service books, by completing the following steps:
    On the BlackBerry smartphone, go to Options > Advanced Options > Service Book.
    Delete all but one BlackBerry Internet Service [CICAL] service books. Each integration will have an integration named service book, such as <BlackBerry Internet Service integrationname>[CICAL].
    Perform a hard reset of the BlackBerry smartphone. For instructions, see KB02141.
    Restore the calendar data to the BlackBerry smartphone. For instructions, see KB10339.Important: Should another BlackBerry Internet Service [CICAL] service book be sent to the BlackBerry smartphone, this workaround will need to be repeated in order to move the appointments to the newly sent calendar service.
    I followed it exactly, with the exception I had no other other CICALs to delete in Step 3, so could do nothing there.  The only one listed with the CICAL listed corresponding to my e-mail address.
    I ended up exactly where I was when I started.  My wife's phone had the exact same problem: email stopped called Verizon, email re established; calendar items moved to Default Device.  I called Verizon last night and they were mystified.  No success.
    Any input would be appreciated!  Sorry about all the detail...
