DTM deleted old entries in iCal!

I keep my old entries in iCal as sort of a diary. A short while ago I started looking for something from a couple of years ago (on my computer), and discovered that everything that was over a year old was gone!. I was not aware of the archive feature of iCal prior to that time, so just figured I could restore everything from a backup. No go -- don't know how long the data had been missing. So, I manually recreated what I could from my computer at work, and archived it for safekeeping. Last evening I synced my BB Curve again, and now the data from older than 10 years is gone (my data went back to 1993). I had purposefully done an archive just before syncing for that very reason, so I was able to restore.
Does anybody know why this is happening? And what to do to correct it? I know I can archive each time I want to sync, but that seems a hassle. Don't really care if the info is on my BB or not, but most assuredly do NOT want it deleted from my iCal. The data is very important to me.

in iCal preferences>advanced tab...you can select to delete (or not) events and items....see if any of these are checked.

Deleting duplicate entries in iCal?

How do I delete duplicate entries in iCal (identical entries on the same date)?

Todd,
I suspected a more serious problem because the answer was too easy.
Thousands of duplicate entries...Is this what happened?
According to, Mac OS X 10.4: Stay away from the SyncServices folder: As if it were a swarm of bees, you should stay away from the SyncServices folder in Mac OS X 10.4. Removing or modifying anything in it—or in subfolders within it—may cause unexpected issues. (This folder is located in your Application Support folder, in your Library folder, in your Home folder.)
Deleting or modifying things in the SyncServices folder may cause unexpected results such as:
• Duplicate contacts in Address Book or appointments in iCal.
• Data loss in Address Book or iCal.
Important: Any lost or duplicate data could propagate to other devices and computers via iSync and .Mac sync. This means data could be lost on other computers.If that is your problem, I suspect that without a backup, duplicate entry deletion will at best be tedious, and at worst fraught with frustration. You may be better off starting from scratch.

Delete an entry in ICAL

When I try to delete an entry in ICAL I get this message
"Only the calendar administrator and any delegates with permission can make changesto read-only calendars. To make changes to the calendar, contact the calendar administrator".
I am the account admin…T
ried Pref-Delegation-Manage Account Access still no luck

It was once a recurring event which I deleted (I thoughtj). Actually there are two events by the same name on the same day. One has a dark blue dot to the left of it; the other has a light blue dot to the left of it.

ICal synch wants to delete old entries

Recently when I use BB Desktop to synch with my new MacBook, it wants to add 2, modify 482 and delete 1053. The first 2 are not a problem but I do not want to delete old iCal entries.
I've tried adjusting to synch only Future or synch between -999 and +999 days to no avail.
What work around can I use to get back to synching?
Thanks

Solved!
Go to Solution.

This helped me for this problem...
On your BlackBerry, go to the Calendar, then press the Menu button, and select Options. Do you have a settings that says "Keep Appointments" set for a specified time.
If yes, you will need to change that to forever.
Once I changed that, I did an overwrite sync of the BlackBerry (I use Missing Sync). Then normal syncing worked fine without deleting old events.

Sync phone with iCal deletes old events in iCal

Whenever I use iSync to sync my mobil phone old events in iCal are deleted. This never used to happen, I need the old events for work. Can anyone help?

I also upgraded to the latest version of Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac v 1.0.6 (Build 16).
I synchronized my calendar and EVERYTHING from iCal was deleted. Fortunately, my Blackberry Calendar is intact. Despite this annoyance, this is still a major improvement over the first time I installed the desktop (sarcasm intended).
I also tried creating an event on iCal and synchronized. This new event sychronized with my Blackberry. When I open the event the Send Using entry is the same email address that I used for all my other entries on my Blackberry.
So basically, my Blackberry Events don't sync to my iCal, but my iCal events sync with my Blackberry.
<RANT> It is very baffling why RIM hasn't been able to solve these problems for the past 3 years. I'm still happier using Parallels with Microsoft Outlook (it hurts to say that) than using this unreliable product. It's things like these that prevent me from using my Mac Calendar and Address Book. The proposition value for switching to an iPhone is looking better every day.</RANT>

Delete old entries

Hi Experts,
One of my clients system is perfoming very slow because of lots of entries. Whether i can delete the old entries ? i.e entries of 2000,2001 etc. ?
Is there is any impact if i delete these entries?
What is the T-code for deleting the old entries?
What is the use of T-code f.63 ?
Regards,
Anish

Hi,
You are not supposed to delete transaction data, this is serious violation of financial regulations. However, there is a mechanism of archiving in SAP. You can read more about it here:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/8d/3e5163462a11d189000000e8323d3a/frameset.htm
Anyway, low performance does not always mean that you have a lot of data. You should analyse your system in terms of hardware and read some notes about low performance of specific transactions. Sometimes, a professional analysis of system performance is required. You can address this request to your BASIS team.
Regards,
Eli

Calendar deletes old entries

Even though under general calendar options I checked "forever" for Keep Appointments, it has started to delete old ones. What to do?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Please go to options and then to status. Check the file free number
is it significantly below 15728640 bytes?
Besides calendar appointments are you losing text, emails, and call logs
sooner than usual?
If so you are experiencing memory problems.
See the attached link for the fix!
Thanks,

How can I delete old entries on my calendars

I use iCal for my business, and I did make one calendar for each person on the company, so I do have 18 calendar with each appointment, about 6 to 8 per day. I been using ical for a 2 years now and I need to delete all the old appointments, at last 6 months older (is getting to heavy for a lamp imac).
If I can do a buckup and them delete will be much better.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
All backups made on iCloud overwrite the old one, so you have only the latest backup with your most recent files. If you have a backup of an old device, open Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage, select the backup and delete that backup

Why is iCloud deleting old events in iCal, older than 2 months?

I'm using an iMac, MacBook & iPhone 4 to sync my calendars with iCloud. Running Lion, everything is up to date w/IOS 5. I initially set up iCloud to sync everything from my iMac to the cloud so all my old calendar items would be there (from several years past). It also synced to my other devices no problem. Now I only see 2 prior months worth of events on any of them! Everything before that is gone. I though my iPhone may have been the culprit but my iPhone was set to sync the past 3 months of events so I don't understand why it's only showing the past 2 months.
What I'd like to do is sync everything one time so it's there, but on future syncs have it only sync the most recent stuff (3 months). I don't want it searching the whole database from 3 years ago to find stuff to sync, just want it to leave that stuff there, on all my devices. Right now it keeps deleting the old stuff.
Any ideas what the source of my problem is?
If it's the iPhone setting to sync only the past 3 months, is there a way to keep old items in the calendar, but only "sync" the latest stuff? Or is my only option to select "sync all events"?
thanks.

I think I solved it. My Macbook was set to delete items after 60 days. Grrrrr....

How do I safely delete old entries in Time Machine?

Hi All,
I recently did my first ever Time Machine back up prior to upgrading my OSX to 10.8 from 10.6.8.
A few weeks on, all is working fine with no conflicts.
Yesterday I upgraded Aperture from 2 to 3. I know that Time Machine doesn't copy the entire library file on each back-up, just the changes, but with the recent upgrade it has changed a fair bit and used quite a chunk of disk space (200GB).
Once I've been in to the new Aperture 3 upgrade and am satisfied that its running fine with no conflicts, I'll have no need for the Aperture 2 library back-up, as I no longer use the application.
My question is: Can I delete all older Time Machine entries until the first back up after the upgrade to Aperture 3. Will this still preserve all data on the library? There's not that many as I back up manually not hourly. Sorry if that's a basic question, I'm completely new to TM and not sure precisely how it works with upgrades from one Aperture library to another.
Thanks for your help.
Richard

You just described one reason it's a bad idea to use a single volume for Time Machine backups and other content. Time Machine expects to use the entire volume. It will respect the other content and not erase it, but you will eventually be left with zero free space.
Edit to add: When that occurs, Time Machine will erase older backups to make room for newer ones, but the problem is that once there is no free space remaining on the backup volume you cannot copy anything else to it. This certainly precludes using Time Machine to back up whatever non-Time Machine content exists on that volume. You would have to erase the source content first, after which Time Machine will eventually erase its backup as well.
You cannot limit the backup size without limiting the volume size. To do that you must partition it. That is not ideal either, since loss of the drive means losing both partitions.

Solman 7.1; delete old database from SMSY

We have done upgrade to solman 7.1 . So we use SMSY with datasource LMDB now.
In former times the database host of some SAP-systems were changed.
So we have some old obsolete entries like database <SID>_0001 in SMSY (sent by SLD BEFORE the solman upgrade.
If we try to delete old entry in SMSY-> databases by right mouse click , system opens the LMDB maintenance, because maintenance should normally done in LMDB. There is no database <SID>_0001 in LMDB and the SLDs - only the correct System <SID> with database <SID> with correct server data.
How can we properly delete the obsolete entries in SMSY ?
In the LM Db Setup Guide I only found some troubleshooting for sync problems between LMDB and SLD, but not how to delete manually in SMSY in SM 7.1. Any ideas ?

I have solved the problem.
The obsolete database was only in SMSY and NOT in SLD + LMDB - so no deletion possible in SMSY and LMDB (as suggested by community)
The obsolete database <SID>_0001 was not used by any SAP system in SMSY.
I used the workaround of creating a dummy database system with the obsolete name in LMDB for later deletion and sync to SMSY.
steps:
I create a new technical system in LMDB: select type " Database system" instead of default "ABAP ....."
Identification of technical system:
databasename: <SID>_0001
databasehost: you can use the correct server if you like
databasetype: DB2, oracle, etc...
Next screen (identification technical system):
extended systemname: SID>_0001 (change it to the value you want to delete in SMSY. My solman suggested <SID>00001)
Save
Optional: In next screen you can adapt the description of the system, which will be displayed in SMSY very quickly!
Then delete system from LMDB => deletion of database will be synchonized into SMSY.
Work done.

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.

Deleting old calendar events

Is there any way to delete old events from the calendar, eg. from 2007 back for instance? This includes iphone, mobileme and home computers.

Depends entirely on the calendar app you're using. On the iPhone, no. But, if you are syncing via iTunes, there's a checkbox to eliminate syncing of events older than a certain number of days. Outlook (Windows) has an archiving tool which can delete old calendar events. iCal (Mac) does not.
