Calendar entries erased when synced!!

I am getting so fed up with this ipod touch already! when i synced my ipod touch, i noticed it erased a good number of my calendar entries. does anyone know if i can retrieve them? or why this happened? or how i can avoid it in the future?

Yes, this is the same issue I've been having. I've tried multiple restores in iTunes, and after hours of back-up attempts, none of my calendar information - old or new - has shown up back on the iPhone.
I don't use Outlook or Google Calendar, and yet the iPhone now shows three calendars: two marked "calendar" and one marked "home". I never added a calendar. I merely ran the calendar on the phone, presuming backing the phone up in previous OS's would save previous calendar dates.
Thanks for the link. I need to keep following to see how this goes...

My iPhone calendar entries won't sync with my iCal using iTunes

Hi,
For some odd reason my iPhone calendar entries will not sync with my iCal using the sync feature in iTunes.
The syncing of everything else seems to be working just fine but in the last couple of days ~ now the calendars won't sync.
Entries that I've made in iCal sync alright to my iPhone but not the other way around.....
Anyone out there got any suggestions???

First make sure you are entering the events on your phone to your Mac calendar and not some other calendar such as On My iPhone. If you are, and they still won't sync, try resetting the SyncServices folder on your mac, as explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627, then try syncing your calendar again. (If you are prompted when syncing your calendar, choose Merge.)

Updated ios8 on ipad: new calendar entries do not sync to other Apple devices through iCloud

After downloading the latest ios8 update, the calendar function on my iPad no longer syncs as it should with my other Apple devices. Specifically, it will receive calendar entries made on those other devices but I can not make an entry on my iPad show up on the other devices. How do I fix this?
Related to this, some of the support community entries suggest logging out of iCloud and then logging back in. But then I read that what I have to do to do that is to delete my account. I don't want to do that. I want to keep everything I have on my iPad- mail, calendar, notes. I just want the sync function for new calendar entries to work.

Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) on your iPad and make sure it's set to an iCloud calendar. If it isn't, make this change, then test calendars syncing again.
If your default calendar is set to and iCloud calendar, go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Calendars, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then turn Calendars back on. Test your calendar and see if it syncs properly now.

Calendar events modified when syncing btw Entourage2008 & iPhone

I sync contacts, notes and calendar btw Entourage 2008 and my iPhone 3.0. Everything had been syncing smoothly but suddenly I have got a msg saying that more than 5% of my computer calendar records will be modified. I cancelled the calendar sync.
When I checked the details of the modifications it shows the following for one record:
Before sync the birthday event ( which pulls directly from contacts) shows Classification "Public" and no alert scheduled
After sync the birthday event shows Classification "empty" and an alert is scheduled
I don't know what classification refers to and on my iPhone and my Entourage calendar this particular birthday event has an alert already scheduled.
One other unusual thing I have found is that many of the birthday events are duplicated in the Entourage calendar in iCal and on my iPhone, but on my main Entourage calendar they appear only once.
Appreciate any assistance. Andrew

Don't sync those entries to your work calendar. The iPhone supports multiple calendars. If you're not using iCloud, start using it and keep your personal stuff out of your work calendar.
Marking them as private manually will NOT protect them from view by others. Your supervisor , theirs, and on up the food chain, may well have the ability to see your "private" calendar entries.
From the perspective of IT and the company/organization, there is no such thing as "private" or "personal" data on company owned computers and networks.

Calendar events in iPhone randomly erased when syncing

So I've had some issues with syncing my iPhone's calendar to iCal. Sometimes after syncing, events that I had edited or added to my iPhone are erased. This seems to happen randomly, however so far it has only been happening with events that I have set to repeat on a weekly basis.
For example, today I put my work schedule for the week into my iPhone. So I edited the repeating events that correspond to my work schedule already in my iPhone to reflect the new times for the week. I edited my start and end times for Monday through Friday. So then I got home and synced to iCal and my work schedule for Friday was erased. Why just Friday while the other days synced up fine? I don't know...
Any ideas as to why this happens? Why wouldn't the event just update on iCal instead of just deleting itself??

I have this exact same problem, but haven't figured out how to fix it. However, some of my events that are getting mysteriously deleted are not repeating events (some are repeating).
So, any help would be appreciated!

Droid calendar entries delete on sync

When I first got my Motorola Droid, I downloaded the Google Calendar Beta Sync Software to sync with my Outlook computer on my PC. I have 2-way sync set on the Google Calendar software. I then sync my Outlook Calendar to Time Matters, which is our primary work calendar. Over the past few months I have noticed new entries made on my phone into my calendar disappear upon connecting to my computer. They both erase off the phone, and do not transfer into my Google Calendar on my PC. Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

The best solution for synchronizing your Time Matters calendar (and contacts) is via the Time Matters Exchange Synchronization utility. Of course this requires that you migrate from Google Calendars to Exchange. That much said, there are a number of Hosted Exchange options that are quite affordable and work very well with the TM Exchange Sync. Our firm provides Hosted Exchange for as little as $6.99/mailbox/month that is guaranteed to work with the TM Exchange Sync. Your Droid will then connect to the Exchange host wirelessly.
With the TM Exchange Sync in place, you will no longer need to synchronize manually with Outlook. Synchronization occurs continually throughout the day. I strongly recommend that before signing up for a Hosted Exchange account or attempt the TM Exchange Sync setup, you first contact a Time Matters Certified Independent Consultant (CIC) who is versed in this technology.

Some calendar entries do not sync: Windows Vista -- Outlook 2007 -- 3GS

I have a couple of calender entries that refuse to sync. beween my Windows Vista machine running Outlook 2007 and my iPhone 3GS.
I bought some airline tickets from USAir and they sent reservation information in an e-mail that I added to outlook. Although the "appointment" looks normal in Outlook it will not sync. I also have one event on the iPhone that won't sync "back" to Outlook.
So far I have tried:
* Reseting the sync. history in iTunes
* Setting the "Replace information on this iPhone" for the Calendar setion.
* Making an edit in the non-syncing entries so they would show as needing to be synced to the other device.
None of these things has made the entries sync....
Any ideas apprecaited....

Ok after MUCH messing around it appeared that the problem was somewhere in one of my "repeating events". Myself and the Apple guy concluded this after exporting all of my calendar events to a CSV file and then re-importing them. All the events went to the iPhone without issue so the initial diagnosis was data corruption in one of these events causing a sync. failure.
I was willing to go along with this diagnosis and figure out which event was corrupt since that seemed to be the problem.
MY ONLY COMPLAINT to Apple at the time was that this condition should have given an error message during sync. - just a "basic" QA check of the sync. would show the number of calender events in Outlook did not match the number of calender events in the iPhone ... apparently this is NOT performed by the iTunes Sync. tool.
Anyway I deleted ALL recurring events from my calender sync-ed and all was well.
I started adding back the repeating events to find the "broken" event. This turned out not to be possible as it would "break" in seemingly random places.
For example I have about 60 annually repeating events (birthdays and anniv.) I added back the first 20 ... it broke. Ah-ha the problem is somewhere in #1 - 20 of 60. So I add just the "last" 40 ... it still breaks... hmmmmmm do I have MULTIPLE "break points"???
Ok ... so I just start re-adding them manually one at a time ....
I have a grandfather that was born in 8/28/1915. When I add his birthday to the calendar in Outlook (by entering his birthdate on the details page of his contact record in Outlook) a annually repeating event that repeats forevery starting on 8/28/1915 gets added to the calender. iTunes would NOT sync. this event.
I deleted it, re-resync-ed, then re-added the birthday and EDITED it to start the repeating event on 8/28/2000. This time a sync. worked OK and the birthday is on my iPhone ... this is very screwy. Again no error messages from iTunes at any time.
So I do not know what the "metrics" are for valid events, but if something as simple as the one above confuses iTunes I sure could have a lot of "bad" events that are in fact not corrupt.
So I do not know what the "metrics" are for valid events, but if something as simple as the one above confuses iTunes I sure could have a lot of "bad" events that are in fact not corrupt. There has got to be something weird going on with the way iTunes handles "repeating" events in terms of a "ceiling" as to how many times it can repeat or the total number of repeating events that can be sync-ed or something like that ... that seems to be the only "thread" I can find .... it does not appear to be corrupt data, but perhaps event types that the iTunes/iPhone can not handle???
Not a happy boy.

IPhone Calendar Entries No Longer Sync With iCal or MobileMe Account

I've been experiencing this for a few months now, and was hoping someone might have some ideas on how to fix this issue I am having.
Every time I enter a new entry onto my Calendar from my iPhone... those entries do not show up on either my Desktop iCal or Mobile Me account online (this used to work). However... if I enter a new entry on either my desktop or Mobile Me account... those entries do show up on my iPhone.
I do not sync my Contacts or Calendars using iTunes. That is turned off. I sync through MobileMe.
Any help would be appreciated.

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select your MobileMe account.
Turn Calendars off for over the air syncing. A warning message will be provided indicating your MobileMe online calendars and calendar events will be deleted from your iPhone with an option to keep the calendars on your iPhone or delete from your iPhone. Select Delete from My iPhone.
Follow this by turning Calendars back on for over the air syncing.
Enter a new calendar event on your iPhone to test if the new calendar event shows up with your MobileMe online calendar and with iCal on your Mac.

Deleted calendar entries are not sync to the serve...

I'm using a E71 with MfE. The synchronization works fine except when deleting an item of the E71 calendar. The deleted item on the mobile is not deleted on the server. If I delete an item on the server the sync works correctly and the item is deleted also on the E71.
I'm using as well a Windows Mobile 6 device and there the sync with the server works correctly. Deleted items on the mobile calendar are deleted on the server too. That shows me, that the Exchange-Server is set up correctly.
Any idea what it could be?
Thx.

Hello venkat,

Creating item in shared calendar- it disappears when syncs with icloud!

This has been going on for weeks. When I create a new event on a shared calendar, the edit window closes and I see my appointment listed correctly. A few moments later, as the "updating..." line appears at the top of the screen, the event's title and time disappears and it reverts to my default calendar at a random time during the day (same date). I could create 10 events and the moment it tries to sync to iCloud, they are all GONE! Anyone else notice this from a shared calendar? FWIW- it doesn't do this when I schedule directly on icloud.com, but I find the interface to be a pain in the neck to use regularly. All suggestions welcome.
Thanks!

To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID. Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this. Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.

Calendar entries disappeared when I shared it

When I shared my calendar in the ICloud all of my entries disappeared. I have turn it off the ICloud, rebooted, refreshed, still nothing.

Go to another month and then back.
Otherwise keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo in your screen.

Is it possible to sync only contacts and calendars to iPhone when syncing wirelessly?

I love wireless syncing between iPhone and iTunes, but I would prefer it if it only synced contacts and calendars and left the video and audio sync to happen when the iPhone was connected via a cable, as syncing all of my media files takes forever. Is it possible to set my iPhone or iTunes up to work this way?

Thanks, modular747. Sure, but isn't there only one "sync" button that will then sync everything, and isn't iTunes the only place to control what is synced?
I suppose one way to fix this would be to sync my calendars and contacts using iCloud. This would also mean that my iPad was kept in sync more regularly. But I use Google Calendar as a Calendar app and sync this to iCal via BusySync, and am yet to find a way that I can get this (and my Google contacts, which sync with my Address Book) to play nicely.
If there's some way I can use iCloud to sync my calendars and contacts between Mac, iPhone and iPad, while maintain the synchronisation I've currently got running between iCal, Address Book and Google, I'd love to hear it

Calendar entries erased ??

MAYDAY!
Ever since upgrading to iOS4 on the 3Gs, then buying and running an iPhone 4 running iOS4, I've had (what I'm learning is) a common calendar problem.
I don't actively use Outlook as my calendar on the PC, where I run the iTunes iPhone backups. My calendar is the data I load in the Calendar app on my iPhone.
Ever since upgrading to iOS4, my Calendar data is erased. Short of manually rebuilding it (and inevitably missing some important appointments), how can I rebuild the calendar from the most recent back-up?
What's more, on the iPhone, I'm now showing TWO calendars and the home in my "From My PC" calendar list, but I've never added a calendar at all. How did this happen.
All of these changes resulted after iOS4 in both the original 3Gs and the 4.

Yes, this is the same issue I've been having. I've tried multiple restores in iTunes, and after hours of back-up attempts, none of my calendar information - old or new - has shown up back on the iPhone.
I don't use Outlook or Google Calendar, and yet the iPhone now shows three calendars: two marked "calendar" and one marked "home". I never added a calendar. I merely ran the calendar on the phone, presuming backing the phone up in previous OS's would save previous calendar dates.
