Calendar not syncing all events, and limited search?

I noticed that the search function on the iPhone only searches a year forward (and/or a year back). Does anyone know whether there's a way to extend that?
Also: I have iTunes set to sync ALL events in the calendar (I've unchecked the time-limitation box under the "info" section in iTunes); however, scrolling back in my iPhone, I see nothing prior to 1997 -- even though iCal has stuff going back to 1993.
Naturally, this isn't a major problem. I don't really NEED to have these old, old events accessible on my phone. But it bothers me that they're not syncing, even though I've specifically requested that they do. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi. I wanted to post this to say that I do consider this limitation a problem. I am far more likely to want the search feature to find some event or message that is old. Today, we were trying to remember where we had our first anniversary dinner. That doesn't show up in my iPhone search; I have to come back home to the desktop. I hope they will fix this. It's time the iPhone had at least the same search capabilities that my Palm Treo had 6 years ago!

Latest calendar update not sync all events???

I just tonight had an update appear on my iPhone for Calendar and like all apps, I updated. Immediately I got a notice that my calendar was set to remove old items past a month (which I NEVER set - my calendar is always syncing with my home and offices calendars (I have over a dozen) and I NEVER want anything removed. The message on the screen said to go change this in Settings to "all Events" and then reboot the phone. I did this.
Now all my calendar events are gone! I am terrified this will wipe my events on my computers at home and work that this was syncing to. Anyone know what the heck is going on?
I have not yet upgraded to iOS 8 because I wait until all these sorts of bugs are worked out, but when the system tells me I should update an App I believe it…..

Same issue here. Fortunately the only thing not perfect for me...

IPhone calendar does not sync new events and appointments from Outlook

iTunes 9.2.0.61/iPhone 4.0.1 - does not sync newly added events and appointments! Previously added stuff is all there, new stuff added in Outlook 2007 just doesn't show up. I've gone back to my old Palm T|X which syncs all this stuff with no problem, so it's not an Outlook bug.
It looks like Apple has put a team of junior programmers on the Calendar app - I've seen leap-year bugs (still there), events showing up on the wrong day (still there), and I'm still waiting for the "week at a glance" view. Calendar is SO important for business use that top level "gray beard" engineers need to be on this. (Question for Apple's calendar developers: what's Zeller's Congruence? It they haven't heard of it they have no business doing calendar programming.)

Spontaneously started syncing again - no idea why now, nor why it failed for so long. Related to the alarm bug? Who knows...

Calendar does not sync ALL events

Using Outlook 2007.
Some events do not sync to the iPhone. I cannot see the difference between those that do sync and those that don't.
Has anyone else seen this? Any fix?

IPhone not syncing all events & some undeletable

Hello,
I'm helping my Dad with a problem he's having with iCal. Since I updated his iPhone 3g to 4.0, his phone & iCal aren't syncing properly. Some events aren't syncing to iCal on his iMac yet they are undeletable on his phone.
After searching these forums, I find that he's not the only one with this problem, however, none of the other threads are resolved so I'm bringing it up again in the hopes that someone has figured this out.
By the way, he's got a simple sync: iMac (running 10.5.8) to iPhone 3g running (4.whatever is current -I just ran the latest updates this afternoon when I was over there), no 3rd party calendars or mobile me with which to contend.
This afternoon I tried all the tricks I could think of or find here; reset sync history, turned off sync calendars in iTunes/then turned them back on, ran iCalDupeDeleter, threw away the cache & preference files as directed in another thread...
Thought I had it at one point when one of the erroneous files was gone after one of the syncs... just as I was about to announce my victory, it reappeared on the phone before my eyes, yet still doesn't sync or appear in iCal on the computer.
Over the weekend I've got to try exporting then reimporting each of his calendars & checking to make sure nothing is listed under "Birthday" in Address Book.
Any ideas?

I'm a "me, too" on this, and it does seem to be an issue with iOS4, the latest update in particular. Everything was fine between my iPhone 3GS, MobileMe, and my iMac running the latest OS. I was thrilled, since I switched from a Palm Centro that gave me fits over syncing the things I needed, since I'm not in an office all day and do some traveling. It was great, but now I have duplicates and missing events. My iMac has the correct information, usually, but the phone is missing some and has lots of duplicates... what gives? Guess we're all pleading for a solution here.

Calendar Not Syncing - Windows XP and Outlook

My calendar has been syncing fine since the last time it crashed a couple months ago. Now it doesn't sync at all; no events move in either direction. I've done everything suggested on the support pages:
Hard Reset
Reset Sync History
Disable third-party Outlook add-ins (there were/are none)
Reinstalled iTunes
I even restored the iPhone to the factory settings and am ONLY sync'ing the calendar. When I hit the sync button, iTunes claims it's syncing my calendar...and it says that for about two minutes. But nothing changes.
What else can I do? I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance

I have the same problem.
Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 8 my Airport Express has disappeared from the screen and was not detected ever since. Also my Outlook 2003 calendar stopped syncing. The stupid self help steps on the apple support site did (of course) not help. Are there actually any Apple programmers or support staff reading all these complaints? I haven't seen a single helpful post for this problem - nothing, nada, nix! And there are quite some complaints about this problem out there!
With the previous versions of iTunes everything worked fine and I regularly synced my iPhone 3G and played music through Airtunes. Now I spend hours on the net looking for help.
Is it a problem of the itunesoutlookaddin.dll file??? I don't know. The only thing I know is that iTunes does not find the calendar anymore. In the iTunes synchronisation window it does not show my calendar anymore. You can choose the option "Outlook" but it doesn't show my specific calendar. I can only click the option "All Calendars" - but without any result. At the same time it shows my Outlook mail account correctly.
It's very frustrating, especially because my Nokia syncs without a single hickup - it just works...

MS Outlook 2010 calendar not syncing with iPad and iPhone

My iPad and iPhone sync perfectly in iCloud. However, using MS Outlook 2010 Calendars they do not sync. I have deleted and reinstalled iCloud with my PC but still no results. Even though iCloud shows up in my Calendar, any additions or deletions in that Calendar do not show up on my iPhone or iPad. Can you help?

Hey oliroyal,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
First check your default services on the device under Options, Advanced Options, default services.
If the default services are configured correctly I would suggest try creating a new MAPI profile as outlined in this articlehttp://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02083 and then reconfigure the Desktop Software as shown herehttp://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17022
Thank you.

I pad will not sync all music and photos

My I pad 2 went into recovery mode after trying to do a software update. Now when I try to put in music and photos it will only put in a little bit of what I have. I tried both methods of syncing and the same results occur. Selected all folders, and selected individual folders, but nothing works.

I'm in the same age bracket and would never give up! I learn new things every day.
Here is a support article that covers a whole host of things for Windows users to try. One of the most common things that you can try first is to disable your antivirus software and firewall and see if that helps. Restart your PC and the iPad, check for driver updates, etc. All of this is covered in the article and the links in the article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
This is how you restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

2007 Outlook Calendar not sharing all events when saving it as iCal and sending to an iphone

Found a way to sharing Outlook Calendar to an iPhone without syncing. I save the calendar as iCal format and then send it to the person to open it on his smart phone. He opens the file, adds them to his calendar, and can see only certain events, not all
of the ones i can see on my computer. Before i started working here, there were 2 other calendars i had to merge so i can have just one. All the items I've added, show up (appointments, calls, etc.) but the ones that were done before me are not showing up
like birthday reminders once i share them.
What am i missing???

Hi RPMM,
According to the description, I suggest double checking whether we select the "Full details" instead of other options. Pic as below:
I have tested on my Outlook 2013 + Exchange 2013, it works well.
There is no limitations of the save as ICS feature in Exchange 2013 server. It seems an issue on the Outlook 2013 client side.
Since Exchange Online is different from Exchange 2013 server, if this issue related to Exchange Online server side, I suggest creating a new thread on the Exchange Online Forum so that we can get more professional suggestions.
For your convenience:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/msonline/en-US/home?forum=onlineservicesexchange
If it still not works unfortunately, I suggest exporting the calendar into .pst file for testing as a workaround.
Hope it is helpful
Thanks

ICloud Address Book and Calendar not syncing. Missing and duplicate entries. Help.

I have duplicate entries in Address Book. I have missing entries on other devices. For calendar it just doesn't sync.
What I've done to try to fix it:
1) I signed out of all my devices from iCloud and MobileMe.
2) I then deleted all the the cache files in Library and any iCloud folders I could
3) I deleted all the address book and calendar entries on each device.
4) Went back and deleted anything in Library and caches.
5) I looked at iClould.com and confirmed they had entries in Address Book and Calendar.
6) Signed back into iCloud on each device.
7) All the devices then began to populate.
Trouble began:
1) Some Address Book entries are missing on devices.
2) iClould has multiple entries for the very missing contacts! All cutting off the notes field at different places!
3) It won't sync the missing contacts present on iCloud but not the device.
Help.

Solved it myself. What I did:
1) I have four Lion OS and two iOS devices.
2) I kept one computer with the complete address book I wanted to start with but disconnecting it from iCloud's Contact sync via Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud uncheck Contact Sync
3) Logged into iCloud.com and deleted all the contacts and groups manually ( many keyboard shortcuts worked )
4) On the main computer, using textedit, I replaced semicolons I was using to delimit items in the notes field with backslashes.
5) Once I confirmed all the other computers and devices had no entries in Address Book, on the main computer I turned back on iCloud Contact syncing. It worked. Correct count of entries and no more breaking notes at the semicolons!
6) Immediately all the other iCloud computers and devices updated to the correct notes! Finally.

Can't sync all events and albums from iphoto 08 to ipod touch 4th generation using itunes

Hi from San Juan! Just got my new ipod touch 4th generation, since my 2nd generation was stolen a couple of months ago, and when it finished its sync process, I noticed that out of my 16,000 + photos in iphoto, only 2,435 were synced. Tried again numerous times, changing options, ("selected albums and events", "all" etc,), but nothing worked. Ever since I've had my Mac, I've only used iphoto to download, organize and share my photo collection; same cameras also. With my previous ipod, the sync process ran smoothly, and always got ALL my albums and events under the "photos" icon of my ipod. What's happened? What's changed? I'll welcome suggestions and / or solutions. Thanks in advance. Sandra

where on my computer am I suppose to make the individual picture files and have them to upload on my ipod touch.... I do have a photo library on my computer, but in the photo tab in itunes for the ipod touch and there is nothing checked for syncing, cause when I do check it it always says its going to replace everything i have in my photo library on my ipod touch..... So how am i suppose to have it checked and have it NOT replace pictures on it????
Also I cannot make more photo albums into my ipod touch, it just replaces the one album every time....
I am very frustrated cause I have tried the manuals and the apple support help etc and nothing pertains to my exact issue.....
Please if u could elaberate I would appreciate it alot.....
thank u

Ipod Shuffle - 2 Gen, 1 GB - not sync all songs and blank autoplay menu

Hi,
I have two issues with my ipod shuffle, 2 Gen, 1 GB.
When I attach it to my computer a blank autoplay menu pops up. Nothing can be selected and I just click cancel and it goes away but it comes up every time I connect. I've tried going into the properties of it in my computer and setting the default action to do nothing but it still comes up. I've also disabled disk use within the settings of it in iTunes but it still happens.
Second when I try to autofill from a playlist, it shows all the songs ready to be synced but after doing about 11, it stops and says it's completed when it clearly hasn't. If I press sync again it does a few more then same result. It just won't fill the ipod up. I've double checked there's room on there and I have set zero space for disk use so the entire 1 GB is used for music but it still won't do a complete fill in one go.
Anyone got any ideas? Using latest version of ipod software 1.0.4 and latest version of iTunes 10.1.0.54

My iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen (latest firmware + iTunes) is
almost only playing purchased .m4p songs. Only very
few (1-2 out of 200) of .m4a are playing on the
shuffle.
The songs are getting transfered properly and when
the shuffle is connected I can play the
songs/.m4a-files stored on the shuffle through Real
Player (The folder structure is accessible through
the FileExplorer while the upload process is
running).
If I only upload not playable .m4a songs the shuffle
blinks "no music uploaded".
Looks like a firmware problem of the Shuffle since I
can't see any pattern which .m4a songs are played and
which not.
Can anyone share this experience? Any solution?
WHAT does iTunes' Get Info "Summary" say about the songs that don't play?

In iphone 4 mobile me calander not showing all events in list view

i have iphone 4 Mobile me calendar not showing all events in list view where as showing all events in month/day view. why so & how to resolve

It started about a week ago. The "From" drop-dow is now missing in Mac Mail. It should appear beneath the subject line. I was working with MobileMe Chat support for about 3 hours. They cannot solve the problem and have now escalated it to the "Senior Advisor Team."

When I plug my Ipad2 to my Imac, it does not sync all my photos from my Itunes library. It also splits events and picks what it wants to sync. How do I get all my photos to sync with Ipad2?

When I sync my Ipad2 with my Imac, it does not sync all the photos. It seems to pick & choose what it wants to sync and also splits events. How can I set it to sync all photos so both libraries are the same?

Can't help you with the sync problem but the splitting of events was supposedly fixed with the iPhoto 9.1.3 updater.
This is from the download page:
This update fixes a problem that could cause some events merged in iPhoto to be split back into multiple events on iOS devices after being synced.
So update iPhoto to 9.1.3 and re-sync. If you already have updated to that version then I'm at a loss.

Calendars and Contacts not syncing between iPhone and Mac

Hello.
I am using a MacPro4,1 (early 2009) running OS X 10.9.1, and an iPhone 4 running iOS 7.0.4.
In iPhone, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Calendars Settings are set to: Sync – All Events.
In iTunes, Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi is checked.
Calendar and Contacts aren't syncing, in neither direction, neither over Wi-Fi nor by cable. (I haven't, and won't try iCloud or however that thing is called now.)
No idea why. I'd be thankful for any hint.

so there's nothing but iCloud to do this? Is there a workaround? Or do I have to use either other a different set of applications, or another set of operating system and hardware? Not syncing is no option, iCloud isn't either, changing systems is.
