How to locate a calendar item causing backup fail?

I assume I have a calendar item in my E70 calendar database that causes all calendar backup and synch efforts to fail.
Problem description:
1) The calendar software itself works fine (both the Nokia std calendar and 3rd party Papyrus).
2) Backup and synch fail whatever method I try. So far I have tried backups with several versions of PC Suite (both on Vista and XP) and Goosync. All fail.
3) The Goosync people debugged this on their end but they basically said that the phone side application just dies having read about 2/3 of the calendar database but they were not able to pinpoint it any closer. The calendar database contains 400 entries.
PC Suite (all versions, newest I have used is 6.86.9), just basically says that it encountered an error synching the calendar information. Everything else (SMS, contacts etc) seems to be backed up just fine. The backup log is totally useless for debugging what entry causes this.
Is there a debug mode/switch to PC Suite that would help me pinpoint the offending entry and delete it? Or are there any other debugging tools that would help me here?
I know I don't have the newest firmware on my E70, but I don't want to upgrade without being able to backup my essential calendar data first.

Hey, I really need some help here. My calendar is not backed up with Nokia PC Suite and this is a real problem for me.
Help!

  • On my iPad 3, how do I make calendar items lasting more than one day appear as such on the monthly view of my calendar? Right now only the first day of the item appears.

    On iPad 3, all of my calendar items lasting more than one day do not appear correctly when looking at the monthly view of the calendar; only the first day of the appointment appears. For example, if I am taking a vacation for 4 days, only the first day of the vacation is marked on the calendar, instead of being listed on all 4 days. When I look at the weekly view, however, it is correct and is listed on all 4 days. The problem here of course is that at a glance, there is no way to look at my monthly schedule. On my iPhone, everything is correct, regardless of month or week view, so clearly this is an iPad problem I guess? Please advise on how this can be corrected. Thank you!

    Unfortunately you can't do what you want. Many people have complained to Apple about this. I suggest you provide Apple feedback directly at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html. They will not provide a direct response but hopefully if enough people provide feedback Apple will fix this.

  • How can I find calendar items that are missing?

    I just went to do a mileage report for the past month and every item that is not a recurring item is missing. Is there any way to recovder these items?

    Calendar events are part of your iPhone backup.  If you synced with iTunes while these events were still on your phone and haven't synced again since losing them, restoring from this backup should recover them.  Note: restoring from an earlier backup will revert all data and settings on your phone to those in the backup, not just your calendar.  If you have newer data you must save this before proceeding.  Then do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  This prevents you from inadvertently overwriting the backup you are trying to restore from by triggering an automatic sync when you connect your phone..
    Now connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • How do I restore specific items from backup?

    Hi
    My phone had no reception, therefore I went on iTunes and backed it up then restored my iPhone to the factory settings.
    The recetion problem got fixed, but when iTunes asked me to restore my backup files on to my iPhone, so I did. then the reception problem came back on again. from here, it's obvious something in my backup files is making this problem happen. I then restored to factory settings again, but this time I set it up as a new device.
    now the question is, since the restore from backup function restores everything including the problem, how do I get specific things from the backup files?
    and also what exactly is backed up when you choose to backup the iPhone, does it backup things like photos and videos etc.?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not sure about "most people", unless most people don't read the manual, which gives very clear step-by-step instructions on how to sync contacts (and calendar) to either the cloud or a computer application. Or they skip the manual and look at the screen, which has a checkbox and dropdown to sync contacts to a computer application.
    I can think of no reason to NOT sync contacts to an application or cloud service, as the iTunes backup is notoriously unreliable and is easily corrupted.
    But you are correct that contacts are included in the backup.

  • Can you archive old calendar items in Entourage so you don't run out of space on your Blackberry?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Sprint Pearl 8130 and I am syncing with PocketMac to Entourage 2004 on an iBook G4 running OS 10.3.
    Most of my syncing issues are minor (for some reason, in contacts, work and home email addresses switch fields, but I can live with that) and I don't have too many complaints about PocketMac for now....
    My question is - Does anyone know how to archive old calendar items so that my Blackberry doesn't run out of space? I have calendar items going back to the beginning of 2008.  I don't need past calendar items on my Blackberry, except for reoccurring items, like birthdays and such, and maybe a month's worth of old appointments just for reference.  My Blackberry has run out of space a couple of times and when it deletes the appointments from my Blackberry, syncing wants to either delete from the Mac or restore to the Blackberry.  I know you can do this with a Palm and their Palm software, since I used to have one and I was able to archive items older than a week.  Then you would be able to access them in a separate archive profile.
    I have searched everywhere and the closest thing I can find is to purchase Missing Sync and set to match my sync date range.  https://support.markspace.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=327.  But that doesn't really solve my issue of running out of space on my Blackberry.  The other thing that I could think of is to export the calendar items into a .rge file, then delete the calendar items from there, sync, and have PocketMac remove items from my Blackberry, but it would be a pain to easily access old calendar items.
    I appreciate any thoughts, ideas and especially solutions!

    I have the exact opposite issue you mentioned
    my client wants his archived calender items to be synched to his 8830 world wide ed.
    he is running RIM software (DesktopManager) v 6.4
    BES 2007
    current issue is that his archived old calendars are not synchronizing to his handheld; we tried to force his PC to synch those items manually through cable, which didn't help, since our BES policy force waireless synch policy to the device and wireless synch never can see the archived items files
    I think if you can set the option on your device so it turns on the calendar wireless synch, and also make sure MAC does not select archive to synch
    Calendar > Options > General settings or /Wireless synch set to ON;
    if you running BES set Calendar Wireless synch off

  • Can not edit Calendar Items on iPhone 4 that were sent from Outlook 2013

    Hi Folks,
    When receiving a calendar item from Outlook 2013, I can accept it, but not edit it. When I receive the same item from Outlook 2003, I can accept AND edit.
    How can I edit calendar items sent from Outlook 2013?
    We are not using an Exchange server, simply sending the calendar items via email. We noticed this when we upgraded our office from MS Office 2003 to 2013.
    Thank you so much for your help!

    The iCloud settings for the computer and other devices are in the iCloud preferences in System Preferences. If you open iTunes with your iPhone connected to the computer, select the iPhone under Devices in iTunes' sidebar, then click on the Info tab in iTunes' main window. Look at the various items you see listed. Be sure to check the Mail component for your GMail account because it is not an iCloud mail account. Your Calendar and Contacts components should state that they are being synced by iCloud.

  • How do I locate an iCal calendar from a backup and restore?

    I need help in restoring a calendar that I deleted. I haven't used Time Machine since May, but I do use SuperDuper and have a clone of my hard drive backed up through yesterday. I am pretty sure the file is there somewhere, I just don't know where or how to get it back into iCal.
    Here is what happened...
    *I use Mobile Me to sync my iMac (primary), MacBook and iPhone.*
    A week ago I was trying to get my "Sports" calendar subscribed to my daughters old iMac. After reading the forums, the suggestions were to rename the calendar and try again, which I did. Changed it to "Kids Sports" and it seemed to allow her to subscribe, although updates/additions/deletions never made it to her computer. I left it alone at that point, knowing it still wasn't working properly but she had the brunt of her schedule.
    Then sometime in the last few days I downloaded a schedule for my child's soccer tournament using my MacBook. It placed 3 games (with all the times, locations, etc) onto my MacBook, I thought wow, how cool, I didn't have to type all the info myself. I have never downloaded a calendar file before.
    I noticed a little while later that those 3 games did not sync to my phone or iMac. I investigated and thought the time zone may have been the culprit, I can't remember what was listed but it wasn't a time zone, it was something like "undetermined" or along those lines (can't see it now because the calendar is gone), so I changed each of those 3 events to Central Time manually. Later they show up as 5 hours earlier than Central Time.
    Yesterday I open up iCal in the MacBook and it's showing my "Personal" calendar with thousands of duplicate entries that are selected to "never" end, going back to around the year 2000. I have no idea how my "personal" calendar got this way, I haven't changed anything with it. Since I've been working on the "sports" calendar mess. I deleted the events in the "personal" calendar from October 1st going forward, of course everything prior to that is still there. About 4 events listed for everyday and to never end.
    I also get a message that I have over 2200 entries that need to be reviewed in iCal before syncing last night. It's the calendar labeled "kids sports". I can see that in iCal I now have 2 sports calendars, "sports" and "kids sports", they both seem to have the same information in them, so I sync with the "kids sports" calendar to be deleted. WRONG answer! All that is left are the 3 events from the calendar I downloaded online, in the calendar labeled "sports".
    Everything is already deleted from MobileMe as well.
    Soooo, is it possible to pull the "kids sports" file from somewhere in the applications area and put it back where it belongs from my back up?
    It seems like once a year I have a major issue with MobileMe duplicating, but I have yet to understand what I am doing wrong!
    Thanks,
    Sandy

    Anyone?
    Let us get home from work first
    I see my daughter's old iMac still has the "kids sports" calendar showing up with all the info still showing on her iCal, but she is subscribed to that calender versus syncing with it. I'm not sure if she has it set to manually refresh or automatically refresh.
    If the calendar shows up fine on her computer the easiest way to get it cleanly is to get it from her computer if that is your goal. I'm assuming this is a calendar you created on your computer and then published and then she subscribed to it?
    _Go to her computer.
    _Click on the calendar in question on the left hand side once.
    _Go to File > Export > Export and save to the desktop.
    _Bring the resulting .ics file to your computer.
    _Delete the current kids sports calendar from your computer.
    _Double-click the .ics file your brought over and add it to a "New Calendar"
    _Now you can re-publish that calendar.
    I don't understand why I can't use Superduper! to find the deleted calendar (deleted today and sync'd)
    I'm afraid I've never used Superduper! so I can't offer any suggestion there. You may want to ask the maker of that software how to restore from their backups. I use Time Machine. However if SuperDuper! clones your hard drive as you say then all your calendars are stored in Your User > Library > Calendars on that backup.
    You don't restore individual Calendars with iCal because it is one large database (in truth you can but it is very time consuming as every single event has it's own individual .ics file). So when you want your calendar from a certain restore point in time (when you made the last backup) you can follow these steps:
    _Quit iCal completely
    _Go to Macintosh HD > Applications > iSync
    _Open iSync
    _Go to iSync > Preferences and remove the check mark for "Enable syncing on this computer"
    _Reset Sync Services: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    _Remove Your User > Library > Calendars to the Trash
    _Copy the Calendars folder from your backup and put it in Your User > Library where the old one used to be
    _Launch iCal and check for your calendars
    _If the calendars show up ok go back to iSync and re-check the box for "Enable syncing on this computer"
    Hope that helps.

  • How to restore calendar items from Entourage 2008 after upgrade to Lion (10.7.5)?

    I held off upgrading to Lion because I had a bunch of old email I wanted to convert first. But now that Apple is no longer offering security updates for Snow Leopard, I decided to take the plunge. Unfortunately, after the Lion upgrade most of my calendar items in Entourage 2008 disappeared (and those that remained appeared in duplicate).
    I think I should be able to access an uncorrupted version of my Main Identity folder for Office 2008 … because I have an Automator workflow that creates a daily backup, and that backup should be available through Time Machine. I turned off Time Machine after this calamity so that I wouldn't overwrite my Entourage Backup folder.
    I need the July 8 or 9 version of:  ~ / Documents / Entourage Backup / Main Identity.
    But when I select the Entourage Backup folder and open Time Machine, all the Finder windows behind the current one go dark and I can't move backward toward an earlier date (I've done this with Time Machine turned off and on). This makes me think the Entourage Backup folder has not been getting backed up recently, or perhaps ever. Ugh.
    When I check my Time Machine preferences, only the following items are shown as excluded from backups:
    So it seems I should be in the clear and able to access Entourage Backup.
    Any idea what I'm doing wrong in trying to restore from Time Machine? Or anything else I might be doing wrong?
    Many thanks.

    When I check my Time Machine preferences, only the following items are shown as excluded from backups:
    Not sure how any of this relates to a Time Capsule....one of the hardware products that we support in this forum.....but we will try to help.
    Main Identity is located as follows on your Mac:
    Macintosh HD > Documents > Microsoft User Data > Office 2008 Identities > Main Indentity
    Unfortunately, you have been excluding Microsoft User Data from your backups, so there is nothing to recover or restore.

    I cannot find a document I prepared yesterday. How do I locate it in the external backup disc

    (1) Look in the System's Recent items, maybe it's available in this list)  [ it's in the  menu ]
    (2) Use the Finder's Search tool (cmd + F) asking it to retrieve files whose name ends with ".numbers"
    And next time, take care of what you do.

  • How can I transfer my contacts, calendar items, notes etc. from one apple-id to another?

    I moved from DK to the US and now I have created a US-apple-ID. How do I transfer all my contacts, calendar items, notes etc. from my DK-apple-ID to my new US-apple-ID?

    Hey kristina rivera!
    You will first want to export your contacts from iCloud using the following article:
    iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
    You will then want to log in to her iCloud account, then import the vCard file that had been exported from your iCloud account:

    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this?

    I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this? I cannot find anything in the user manual.

    The TC is very hard to just move.. it retains too much of the old network setup.. buried deep in the bowels of the firmware configuration files.. or even on the hard disk special partitions used by the TC.. invisible to you btw.. !!
    Do a factory reset and setup from scratch.
    That factory reset will have no affect on your backups.. even if you rename the TC.. not a bad things since you also want clients to respond to the new network.. simply reset TM to the new TC name and location.
    See A4 here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Factory reset.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Factory reset Gen 5
    Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
    If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
    Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.
