Calender events being deleted on sync?

Hi
Our workplace uses Iphones (v4) and Exchange for the mail.
Recently Iphone users have been reporting that entries made into shared calenders are missing.
I suspect that when the users of these phones have been syncing their phones with their Itunes at home this is somehow wiping events off their calenders here at work.
Is it possible this could be happening or can anyone shed any light on this please? Sorry I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of Itunes........for both users it seems they have synced recently to their home macs/pcs.
Thanks for your advice
Mike

ICal events being deleted when syncing with Palm Zire 21

I have been syncing my Palm Zire 21 with iCal successfully for over a year with few problems. A few weeks ago I noticed that almost, but not all of the events on both the Palm device and iCal more than three months old were gone. Then, a few weeks later, I noticed that the events suddenly were all back in the iCal application, but not on the Palm device.
But this week, I used HotSync (as usual) to sync iCal and the Palm device, and the events were gone again. Now I am wondering what on Earth I am doing to cause this. I have read the articles about setting up to sync. I double-checked to be sure I have been syncing the way that is outlined in the instructions in the help articles.
I must have missed something vital. I have been backing up my iCal to my .Mac account using Backup. I am thinking that I can restore the iCal events using my last backup. Can I? And how do I keep this from happening again?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) "OS10.4.10" "iSync 2.4" "iCal 2.0.5" "Hotsync 3.1"

Found the issue for me. The events are not deleted, but filtered in the standard calendar view. The iPhone shows everything as it should. Outlook 2003 has all the events to as seen when going to categories view.
It seems that once events pass on the iPhone and then a sync via iTunes to Outlook 2003 the "All Day Event" field is removed from the calendar entry.
Creating another Day/Week/Month View in outlook 2003 that has a filter to only include calendar entries where the "All Day Event" field "does not exist" will allow viewing the "hidden" past events.
Hopefully this will be fixed VERY SOON.

Why are random calendar events being deleted from my iphone when I sync it with ical?

My settings are such that events entered on both devices should push to both devices when I sync. The events being deleted from my iphone are not consistent (ie. older than a certain date), they are random.

This happens to me INCESSANTLY. I'm looking at my calendar events one second, and POOF!, the next second all of the events I've entered into the calendar- with the exception of birthdays that are on the actual contact information for a person- are GONE. My calendar settings are set to sync all events- no timeframe- and always have been. This happened to me nonstop on my old iPhone 3GS, and I was sure it was the phone causing this issue. Now, I have my new iPhone 5 in my hands and same ol' , different equipment. I have done EVERYTHING I can think of to prevent this from happening or to restore the data- including rebooting, holding home button and on/off at same time, etc.- and NOTHING works to restore the data. And then, just as magically as the data disappeared, POOF!- the data is back randomly sometime later. That "later" may be 5 mins, a day, several days. This is an absurd and EXASPERATING glitch that APPLE NEEDS TO FIX IMMEDIATELY!!! I'm starting to hate the iPhone and Apple in general when I continuously experience HUGE glitches like this that have a profound impact on what you're trying to accomplish within a feature that you DEPEND on... yet Apple has "never heard of that problem before". You suck, Apple. Don't send your problems out into the real world, to users who just gave you $800 for another glitchy piece of equipment that never solves your software issues.

Past calender events are deleted on backup & restore

I have the storm set to never delete, however on backup all past calender entries are deleted. Immediate restore does not restore these items. I print out the deletions and additions at confirm stage
Any suggestions?
Thanks nicky berry

I hate to say it, but it sounds like you may have some corrupt data in the calendar application. Unfortunately if this is the case and the data has somehow been deleted, there is no way to bring this back.

Syncing calendars ( Past events being deleted)

When i sync my iphone it deletes the previous appointments on that day. i end up with a blank calendar on my computer but the entries remain on the Iphone. Any suggestions?

ICal events all deleted after syncing with computer

I synced my iPhone and iMac two days ago, and only this morning realized that ALL my events in my iPhone's iCal are now gone!! I've been keeping track of several important doctor's appointments, my child's school events, personal medical issues, etc and now they're all deleted. After checking, it seems SOME of the events from June were transferred onto the computer's iCal, but then "stopped" there and nothing else was copied. My phone and computer have synced successfully many times, always "sharing" information but never deleting! What's wrong? Can this information be recovered? In some cases, my phone was the only place this information was recorded, so now it's gone. Thanks everyone for your help!!!

Hi there,
I'm having the exact same problem as described above, and I'm a little desperate to get my iCal entries back as well...
Concerning the question of whether I have a backup: I'm actually not sure, maybe you can tell me whether I do? The situation is the following:
I entered a (significant!) number of iCal entries on my iphone directly. The iphone, in turn, is being connected to my MB Pro at home, as well as my PC at work. Podcasts and such are updated from my PC, so I'm guessing that the PC is the primary iTunes linked to the phone. When I connected my iphone to the iTunes on my MB Pro, however, it asked whether I would like to synch as well. As I had a number of iCal entries on my MB Pro that I wanted to also see on my iphone, I agreed. It warned me (like many times before) that this would chance more than 5% of the iCal entries, but it never before had deleted any of them! When I checked again, all my direct iphone iCal-entries had disappeared.
I have Time Machine installed and made a backup of my MB Pro just a few days ago - I'm suspecting though, that if the iphone iCal entries are gone from the iphone, my MB Pro iCal did not remember any of them either, correct?
PLEASE, if someone could help explain this situation, I'd be incredibly grateful! I've never had it happen before that iCal (on either machine) deleted anything...
Many thanks in advance!

Why are events being deleted in my history (prior months) on iCal?

After downloading iCloud, I've noticed that any even scheduled in prior months has been deleted. I like to keep this info for reference points in my business. Can someone please give me advice on how to keep all past events on my Ipad / iCal? And how can I restore these past events onto my iPad's iCal? They are still showing up on the iCal on my iMac, which is really confusing! Thank you!!!!

sorry, "I've noticed that all the event scheduled in prior months have been deleted"....

Apps purchased on iPad are being deleted when syncing with iTunes

Hi,
I am having a problem with the apps that I purchase using my iPad not syncing with iTunes. I have purchased several apps and books. When I use my iPad to make the purchase and then plug the device into my computer to allow it to sync, iTunes goes through the process of backing up the iPad and then transfering purchases over. When it gets to the step for syncing tracks it goes and removes all of the apps that it just said it was transfering the purchases over for. Nothing I do seems to work to fix this issue so that the apps aren't removed when I sync. So far the only ones that stay on my computer and device are the apps that I used my computer to buy and then are synced onto my iPad. Please let me know what to do about this as I have lost several apps.
Thanks
Josef

I am not sure what the problem could be.
You may want to try disabling auto-sync, make some purchases on your iPad, and then transfering the purchases and see if they show up in your iTunes library and the checkbox for the apps are checked for syncing to your iPad. If they are then you can try syncing and see if that deletes them from your iTunes library.
The link for instructions on transfering your purchase is as follows:

HT1692 how do i stop my calendar events being deleted automatically after a month or so?

I cannot keep calendar events - how do i change this , it should be so simple.

If you normally sync to your computer via iTunes there is a setting in iTunes for how many days back you keep calendar events.
If you don't normally sync to your computer I'm not sure if there is a way to keep calendar events around longer.

Issues with music being deleted when syncing to iTunes

I have iTunes Match swiched on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.3) and my iTunes (MacBook Pro; OS X 10.9) and I have downloaded a bunch of songs from my iCloud to my phone however, when I sync my phone to iTunes (either wirlessly or with the USB cord) I seem to loose most of my musc. I am wodnering if anyone could provide a solution or an answer as to why this keeps hapening. Thank you in advanced!!

Are you sure it's when you sync that it happens. I wonder if that's what's happening when my music goes missing off my iPhone... https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5496593

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

Events randomly moving and being deleted

Hi,
We run Sun Calendar Server 2005Q4 and are having many "reported" issues of the server randomly moving or deleting user events. Some seem to be user error but I am getting enough reports now to be suspect. We also use the outlook connector 7.1.238.
My question:
1) Has anyone ever heard of this?
2) Can I log users calendar events (ie who, when, deleted events).
3) Any ideas of what I can do?
Its becoming a huge problem and I have no idea how to even begin troubleshooting it. We recently worked with Sun support to rebuild our db and it has a clean bill of health.
Any help would be great as I am desperate.
Thanks,

Do you see similar behaviour with the Thunderbird Lightning Plugin or if the user uses UWC/CE?
Not that I know of, but nobody is using these interfaces. Outlook is our support way of accessing. There is no option to try another interface.The advantage of UWC/CE (and Lightning) is that there is no cross-session caching on the client side to muddy the waters i.e. are the events on the server but not being seen by the client or on the client but not on the server.
Have you tried performing an "Empty and resync" with the affected clients:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2567/6n4rl8v17?a=view
You can try enabling the http commands logging which logs WCAP events.
How do i do this? I tried the:
! Create an ENS message when an event is deleted? (yes/no)
caldb.berkeleydb.ensmsg.deleteevent = "yes"
but this did nothing.I was more referring to these steps:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4654/gcpqu?l=en&a=view
Try to isolate the specific circumstances/patterns behind the problem e.g.
We do have a couple users whose specific events keep getting deleted/moved, but what can i do with this.Is there anything different/unique/special/common about those events which get delete/moved vs. those that don't.
Try collecting a snapshot of the problem user accounts (csexport) each day and when the customer does report the problem compare the snapshots to see whether there was a change on the server end.

Shane.

Treo 755P Calendar repeating events being mysteriously deleted

For some reason I can no longer create an event that repeats weekly or every other week. I can create an event that repeats daily but when I change to weekly or every other week the event is deleted. This just started happening a few days ago. I tried backing up, then doing a hard reset then reinstalling just my contacts and calendar and the same thing keeps happening. Has any one else experienced this? Please don't tell me the only solution is a hard reset and manually entering all of my calendar events past and future.
Thanks

Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

Well, not to split hairs, but the actual issue is with the fact that apple does not sync properly with Treo's using the native iSync application. Due to the known issue, Apple itself pimps The Missing Sync as a "Productivity Tool." http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/productivity_tools/
Due to this fact I was hoping for a response from someone here who could help me with this.
I will certainly look around in the Mark Space forum; however, if anyone here could help me i would really appreciate it.

I have a 5s which has been working fine until about a week ago when any calender event added to my phone will not sync with my enterprise server. Any calender event entered on my PC (enterprise) does show on my phone. Mail is working fine both ways,ideas?

The problem is that the POP3 client is not issuing a DELE command to remove the email from the server.

Why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

I also have this problem though it only seems to affect my iPod Nano (6th gen). It does not seem to affect my iPhone (though now as I type this, I better confirm that as I haven't manually managed podcasts on my iPhone since the last iTunes updates). I have iTunes set to "manually manage music and videos" (just like OP, I'd rather manage music and videos myself rather than construct playlists and have iTunes sync them), and under the "Podcasts" tab on my nano, I do not have "Sync Podcasts" checked.
Is this something that has occurred since the last iTunes update?
