How do I keep iCal from deleting old appointments (after 90 days)?

For my business, I need to keep track of which clients I met on specific days. I keep notes about what we discussed in those calendar items. Also, I want to keep that record for my taxes.
I just discovered that iCal is deleting old calendar items after 90 days. I've gone into the Settings and tried to fix it, but there doesn't seem to be an option to save that data.
Has anyone else had this same challenge? Any suggestions?

How can I STOP ical from deleting all my events after a month or so

No matter how I set the preferences/settings it always keeps deleting all events after 30 to 40 days.
I have gone into preferences and checked off the
"DELETE EVENTS AFTER...
and put 99 or 999 days and it doens make a difference
If Ileave the box unchecked - it STILL doesn't make difference
Anyone has a suggestion?
as I keep loosing all the important info/phone numbers I enter.
Thanks
Bruno

Bruno,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are you using any sync software?
The easiest thing to try is to refresh the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart, and make sure the deletion preference is not checked.

How can I stop ical from deleting time information from event titles?

I sometimes like to put times (e.g., 10pm) in the titles of my events. I do this because I want to see the time in the event title for certain events. Apple's ical thinks it knows what I want (it doesn't!) and deletes this information from the title, probably to schedule the event at that time, which is ridiculous because I sent the time of the event when I create it. This is especially annoying because I want the time in the event title for a reason. I can't figure out how to turn this function off. Apple, if you're reading this, please add an easy on/off switch to this "feature," (or better yet, remove it). In the meantime, does anyone know how to get around this?

Enter them in a format that Calendar doesn’t recognize as a time.
Or go back and edit the title after it recognizes the date/time info.

How do i import dates from a old iCal backup?

How do i import dates from a old iCal backup?......
Somehow when moving to iCloud, some of my old info dissapeared, but i know i have it on a old backup.
Right now there is no way to do anything except fully replace your current data with the new import.
any ideas?

No. Restoring the backup is all or nothing. You would have to back up the iPad you are restoring the backup to to your computer using iTunes, then restore the backup and import the recovered photos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then restore the iTunes backup to return the iPad to its original state.
Some things to be aware of are that camera roll photos from an iPad can only be restored to another iPad. Also, Apple will delete iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so you might want to make sure the backup is still there first (by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage).

Help! I synced my iCal from my old iPhone to iCloud. It worked great. I've done this because I'm switching to a Samsung phone and need to sync my iCal to my Google calendar. In attempting to do so today, my iCal is empty. How can I retrieve my iCal info??

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

Have you seen this?
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

When using my new nano 7 with nike , my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run for over 30 minutes.It cancels/deletes my run/workout when the music stops.This has happened several times.How can I keep this from happening

When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes. It also cancels/deletes that run/workout. This has happened several times. How can I keep this from happening?

If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

How do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring purchases from my iPhone?

Well, earlier in the year I had a Hard Drive failure. After having it fixed not all my files where on my Mac, including my iTunes media. So I connect my iPhone and it asks me if I want to transfer purchases? I click yes, the transfer wnet fine but some old media transferd too. I didn't want it so I simply deleted it. But when I plug my iPhone in now, it automatically says transfering purchases from Alex's iPhone. I then clicked on the "X" to cancel the task. But how do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring the old material?

How do I keep itunes from putting things into the cloud after I've downloaded them?

Hello - Not everyone lives in Silicon Valley or New York City. I have a relatively slow internet connection so it takes about 2 hours to download a 45-minute tv episode. Yesterday I did that, and today I went to watch it and it had been put back in the cloud! "No problem," says Apple, "You can download it again." It takes f**** 2 hours to download it again. How can I keep Itunes from putting things I've already downloaded back into the cloud?

How do I keep itunes from putting things into the cloud after I've downloaded them?
You don't. They are in the cloud as soon as you make a purchase. As in immediately/right now. They don't get uploaded from yoru computer to the cloud.
Did you delete it after you watched it?

How do I keep iPhone from dropping flagged messages ?

I have flagged airline e-tickets, museum reservations, etc. on my iPhone inbox, and they disappear aftetr a few days to a week or more. Where can I find them,or how do I keep them from disappearing ? The only thing I do is to resend them from my computer, flag them again, and they disappear again.
Any clues and any help would be appreciated !!
carolyn

Addemdum-
I forgot to mention that I have 1000 messages checked and alert me before deleting messages. Is there some magic time that flagged messages disappear in to cyberspace ?
Someone told me on an e-mail that she puts flagged messages in a folder. I can find nothing in the iPhone
manual about doing this, or even making a folder for messages. Can someone enlighten me ?
Thanks a bunch ! carolyn

HT1386 How do I copy music from an old iPod? Why do you have to make things so difficult? These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them. I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.

How do I copy music from an old iPod? Why do you have to make things so difficult? These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them. I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems. I used to be able to do this until you "improved" things.

Thanks, Deggie. I thought Apple would see my feedback. I would just like to know if there is a simple way to copy just a few music files from an old iPod. I saw instructions on how to copy all of them from the iPod but it was complicated and I really didn't want to copy all the songs. I guess I could delete all the songs but the ones I want to copy then go through that process again. Do you know how to back up music to my computer? I don't want to have to go through this again and possibly lose music.

The 1st and 2nd gen shuffles do not have an automatic syncing mode, like later shuffles and the "big" iPods. It is maintained manually (or by using the Autofill feature).
If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.
To add songs to the shuffle... Show a list of songs in the iTunes window. For example, you can select Music under LIBRARY (in the sidebar) to show your complete iTunes music library list. Select a song and drag it to the shuffle in the sidebar. You can do this with more than one song selected. Alternately, select the song(s), right-click the selection, and choose the command to Add to Playlist -> [name of iPod].
To remove songs from the shuffle... Select the shuffle in the sidebar. To the right, it's Settings screen is shown. Toward the top, where it says Settings, click on On This iPod (to the right). The list of songs on the shuffle is shown below. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with more than one song selected.
NOTE: At the bottom of the shuffle's list of songs, there are controls for the Autofill feature. You can also use Autofill to fill your shuffle from your music library or from a specific playlist.

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?
Message was edited by: auitto

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.
