BB Calendar erases appointments!!

I've seen several posts on this subject on many sites, but still no real solution, response from BB, or even a consensus on what the problem is.
My BB calendar tends to start erasing past appointments as close as a week ago even though it is set to keep appointments FOREVER. Some have suspected that this is a sync problem, as if the sync software is erasing them or, for example, MS Outlook is the one responsible for these deleted appointments. But, I really do believe that it is the BB, because I only sync it about once every couple of weeks, and the BB is definitely erasing past appointments before I even sync it with Outlook.
Some have suggested that this is memory issue with the BB. This seems to be the most likely, but utterly dissappointing answer to the problem. I have monitored my "file free" and when it is at its lowest that's when appointments seem to start disappearing more.
This is really disappointing, considering that I use my calendar to track where I've been, when people have paid me, and appoinment times people have kept with me in the past. I need, and I suspect several people need, to have quick access to my past appointments for AT LEAST 6 months back. If it is a memory problem with the BB, WHY WOULD THEY SET IT UP SO THE DEVICE ERASES SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS APPOINTMENTS TO TRY AND CONSERVE SPACE!!! MAKES NO SENSE!
Can anyone help? Can BB respond to the problem? If not, this will be a quick deal breaker for me with BB's. I will go back to my old Dell Axim, which never had any issues. Or an IPhone or Droid will be in my hands real quick.

Step 1. Free up memory. Since your file free is low you must have A) too many programs installed. B) to many ringtones/mp3s, photos, videos, or voice notes stored in device memory. C) too many emails stored on your device. By moving or deleting these files/emails you will free up memory on your device. A BlackBerry is meant as a on-the-go device, not as your primary computing device. Step 2. Invest in a time tracker app. Many apps can keep track of appointments and store them off device, perhaps on your pc? Step 3. Configure desktop manager to ignore past appointments. This will keep all your past appointments in outlook. I hope this helps you enjoy your Berry more.

  • Why don't I have the same options in my calendar for appointments iCloud/iPad

    Why don't I have the same opoisions in my calendar for appointments? Online in iCloud calendar there are options to pick from for days of the week and how many weeks to set an appointment. Why can't I do this on my iPhone or iPad? Am I missing a setting to be able to do this? I make most of my apointments away from my desk and would like to send a invitation at that time.

    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

    I had a similiar problem, with my multiple devices.  I open iTunes and when all devices were connected I went to the info section on each device.  Under info I checked the sync calandars. Under that I click all calanders. I then did the apply in low right. I then did the sync function and it fixed it for me.  You have to do this for each device.
    I also checked the device (ipad,Iphone) themselves and change the calander selection to NO Catagory.  Hope this helps.

    Answering this question will not help your issue.  You need to take the iPhone to the nearest Genius Bar.  That's the only solution that will reach an affirmative result.

  • How to change the length of time calendar retains appointments

    On my previous Blackberry running OS7, I was able to change the length of time the calendar kept appointments, but I can't find that setting on my Q10. I would like to be able to keep appointments on the calendar indefinitely. Thanks for any advice.

    Hello, metallifan15,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    I think you are asking about the durations for subtitles. There is a maximum duration for titles, and that duration varies depending on which title you select. For just 'subtitle' it appears that the maximum duration is about 4secs20frames, 4:20. If you choose 'Stripe subtitle' the duration is about 8 seconds, 8:00.
    If you want the durations to be longer, consider getting some of GeeThree's Slick volumes, some of whose titles can be placed for 30 seconds.

  • How to erase appointments on my calendar

    I have a repeating appointment on my calendar i would like to erase.

    If this on the default iPhone Calendar app, launch the app, find one of the dates of the repeating event you want to delete and select it, click edit in the top right corner, scroll down to the bottom and click "delete event", at which point it will ask if you want to delete just that event or that and all future repeating events of it.

  • Appointments made in Outlook on PC go to iPhone Calendar, but appointments made on iPhone do not go to Outlook on PC.

    When I make appointments on my laptop, they go to my iPhone calendar--no problem. When I make appointments on my iPhone, they do not go to Outlook on the PC. The sync has worked properly in the past, but then it stopped. Your help would be much appreciated.

  • Why were the older entries in my calendar erased and how do I get them back?

    All of the personal entries into my calendar are gone. The only entries still appearing are all Holidays and all personal entries for the last quarter of 2014. All entries made for the rest of 2014 are gone. I checked The Cloud and they're not there either. Why did they automatically delete and how do I get them back?

    Thanks so much, you are absolutely correct. I must admit that I didn't realize that meant past entries on the calender were swept away after a certain period of time.
    The setting is fixed now (thanks to you), but is there any was of retrieving the data that was erased ??

  • All my events on the calendar erased and it won't add more

    My calendar on my iphone 5c erased all of my events and I keep trying to add events and it's not working I think it might be because I don't have that much memory but I am about to fix that but what else can I do and also when and if I get it fixed will my events come back because ALL of them were really important stuff that I can't lose so what can I do ?????? 

    If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    How to back up and restore your files
    2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • The entire current month's calendar's appointments have disappeared.  how do I get this info back?

    The entire current month's appointments have disappeared from my calendar, how do I get them back?

    Not that it helps, but this is why I wish they would just go back to customer activations at home instead of activating iPhones in store. They do it there, then 3 or 4 or 5 months later, the user gets around to plugging it in to iTunes for the first time only to have all their contacts as well as apps and music they've purchased wiped out without ever having backed it up...
    You can try to restore the phone. It 'should' have been backed up before the initial sync, but I'm not positive about that. I'm not in front of a machine with iTunes now and don't want to steer you wrong. There should be a number of helpful threads here. Use the search box at the top of the page, you should be able to find step by step instructions if it's still possible.

  • HT4623 Calendar drops appointments 1 to 2 weeks after entering them

  • Iphone calendar losing appointments

    Today I missed an important meeting, because the appointment disappeared from the calendar on my iphone. It has happened a couple of times before. I can't figure it out. The appointment is right there on my calendar. Later, it disappears. I have a macbook and sync automatically through Mobileme. When it disappears on the iphone, the next sync also removes it from ical on my computer. It is a huge problem - I can't trust my calendar and I rely on it hour to hour each day. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    My problem has been that appointments over 1 month old have been disappearing, which has made it difficult to keep track of my work. Tonight I seem to have solved the problem and my appointments going back months to the time I purchased my iPhone have reappeared.
    I did the following: 1. Click on the "Settings" icon; 2. Click on "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"; 3. Scroll down to "Calendars" and change the "Sync" preference from "Events 1 Month Back" to "All Events."
    Voila!
