Getting off Outlook sync & deleting old events

I made a big mistake by syncing my work calendar (with hundreds of events) with my iPhone and I no longer want to sync with Outlook and wish to remove all events in my calendar.
Can anyone advise me as how to remove all iPhone calendar events? I could not find anything in the Settings are of the phone, nor in iTunes.
Please help, too many meetings on my calendar are buggin!!!

  • Deleting old events

    I imported a lot of old events from Palm Desktop and want to delete everything more than a year old. But ical won't let me change the default for deleting old events from "more than 30 days" which is much too short a period for me.
    I am losing NEW events when I sync and think maybe the file size is too large.

  • ICal not deleting old events

    When i upgraded to Leopard, iCal stopped deleting old events. I have it set to delete events older than 30 days, and it's not doing it. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    It's a bug, it didn't work for me in Tiger either. I have the preference set to delete To Do items one day after they are completed. It rarely does. Sometimes it will work, and then it won't. It's flakey.

  • TS4118 My ical on my iPhone is not continuing to sync my old events from my ical even though they show up in iCloud?

  • 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>

  • IPhone sync to iCal not deleting old events!!

    Can anyone help me? I just upgraded to the 10.5.2 and since that moment every time I change an event in my iCal and sync with my iPhone the iPhone keeps the old events and adds the new ones, so I end up having tons of duplicates. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have a solution? Thanks

    If you are in Toronto using an unlocked iPhone, I am not sure anyone here is going to be able to come up with a solution for a problem you are having once unlocked...
    Apple relocks their iPhones if you upgrade to the eventual 1.1.4 or update iTunes. I don't know if they also change registry settings at all causing certain things to not work properly on unsupported iPhones.
    IF you are using a standard ATT-based Apple supported iPhone, you can also try uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling, and resyncing to see if that helps.
    Also - make sure that while connected under the INFO tab, you have the correct calendar selected for where you want to place new events, in case it somehow got unchecked during the update process.
    I don't know about you, but 10.5.2 changed none of my settings and everything is syncing properly to iCal in both directions.

  • Outlook Sync of recurring events

    Do any of the newer phones solve the problem with syncing advanced recurring events with outlook?
    An example is a recurring event that occurs on Mon, Wed, & Fri.
    My current 6102 only sync's the Monday instance. The work around is to create 3 seperate recurring events in Outlook, but I would like to get past this.

    we have the same prob with older and the latest phones

  • Is the calendar supposed to delete old events?

    I like to use my calendar as a record of my activity, but my old events keep deleting.  Can I stop this from happening?

    It will keep as far back as you set it to keep.

  • How do I get Time Machine to delete old files?

    On threads for earlier operating systems I've seen similar questions, and it seems Apple hasn't resolved the problem that although Time Machine says it will delete old files when the disc is full, it doesn't do it, even though my hard drive has only ~300 GB of files on it and my external hard drive has 1.5 T, it does nothing to delete old files automatically.  This hasn't always been the case.  The first few entries were deleted awhile back, freeing space, but that has stopped happening.  Any suggestions?  Do I have to start with a fresh external hard drive?

    Thanks.  Although the reset did nothing, by deleting enough old backups (a VERY slow process) I could get it to free enough space for another backup.  It's not clear to me why it cannot do this automatically.
    Time Machine will delete old backups, if it can.  So something must be wrong.  See #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If nothing there helps, a clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.  Locate the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages here.

  • 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 to delete old events in fault history?

    hi,
    I wanted to delete all my old alerts in DFM. I am aware that ciscoworks has only last 31 days events/alers in the fault history, which basically would be in the database dfmfh.db. My problem here is that i have more than 183000 alerts in the fault history for a month, I dont wanted all of these alerts now.
    /gopi

    There is no way to control the amount of time data lives in Fault History.  As you pointed out, data will be retained for one month.  You can reinitiatize the Fault History database, but that would destroy all FH data.

  • How to I get iCal/iCloud to retain old events?

    I've just switched over to icloud. I thought I had it all setup, but when I went to look at an event that occurred last year (to check the date), it was gone! In fact, everthing older than a couple of months is missing.
    My life is in that calendar. How can I get my life back?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Did you restore from the old back up.

  • Syncing deletes iCal events added on iPod Touch

    Has anyone noticed that events added on the iPod Touch are deleted upon syncing on iTunes? I'm restoring the touch right now to see if that solves the problem...

    Thanks for the suggestion. I do not have that option checked so that shouldn't be causing problems. I did the restore but it did not help. However, I now noticed that under the "info" tab, where I check sync with the various calendars on my computer there is a line that says "put new events created on this ipod into the calendar" and then a list of calendars. Interestingly, each calendar appears twice on that list. Any ideas on how I could reset that list?

  • Can anyone tell me why I can't update my itunes on my p.c?  I get a message saying: the feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.   Tried uploading from websit, get msg can't delete old version.

    I need some serious help!
    I have been trying to update my itunes to version 10.7 and my Quicktime to version 7.7.3!
    Having no luck!
    So I tried selecting repair software on all of the Apple applications and they seem to have worked.
    Then I selected look for upgrades on my itunes (Help) main screen
    It said their were two updates -   Itunes  10.7   and  Quicktime 7.7.3
    I selected the option to update and the .exe files were loaded to my  Windows 7 p.c.
    However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
    saying   "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
    O.k.
    I then went to the itunes website and tried again.  This time it checked my system the process seemed to be working and all of a sudden I got a message saying my old itunes programs could not be removed and or deleted.  So I tried to delete my old version myself without success it won't let me.
    I've run out of options and am not completely fustrated.
    I have itunes on my desktop, my iphone4, my ipod and in my car. 
    Anyone have any clue how I can resolve this problem?

    Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

  • 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.
