Ical - automatically deletes events

by august 06 all the previous events have been deleted w/out warning except the ones I got from shared mac-users. now all the anual events (birthdays etc.) have been deleted w/out warning. any idea how to solve the problem?
iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

I'm not sure if this is what is happening, but I thought my events were all gone too. Then I "unchecked" the various calendars that I have listed on the left...then "checked" them again...and wow, everything came back!!!
The problem now is that when I switch months, I need to repeat this process of "unchecking" and then "checking" the calendars to get all my events listed.

  • ICal automatically deletes event I just added

    I recently updated my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion software. Now, whenever I add a new event to my iCal, it appears for a moment and then deletes itself. I have several different color calendars for different subjects. Some calendars and their events stay, but for some reason, certain events will not stay in my iCal. Can someone help me with this?

    I have this same problem but it happens on all of y devices, I have an iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and iMac.
    When I add events on to the calendar they disappear and sometimes when I get on my iMac hours later they've reappeared but they don't always reappear.
    It's really frustrating!!!

  • IPad 2 with iOs 5 iCal automatically deletes events that have been made afterwards?

    When I try to make an event afterwards (for example today tried to make an event for 7th of November), iCal first makes it and then after few seconds deletes it instantly. Is there a way to make an event afterwards?

    You have messed up your iPad by installing an unofficial iOS release only available to developers.
    If you are not a developer, then you should not have installed that iOS on your iPad in the first place.
    Ask the people who sold you that unofficial iOS to help you.
    This forum is definitely the wrong place to find help for your particular problem!

  • ICal Misbehaving - deleted events reappear and editing buggy

    My iCal is not behaving properly—every time I try to delete an event it
    re-appears a moment later and every time I try to edit an event it makes the
    change, but leaves a duplicate of the original.
    My iCal is not behaving properly—every time I try to delete an event it re-appears a moment later and every time I try to edit an event it makes the change, but leaves a duplicate of the original.
    I tried looking for a downloadable version (I am currently using version 4.0.4) to re-install it, but I cannot find a version that will install.
    iCal seems to work fine in other accounts, restarting / logging off and returning to my account doesn't help.

    Are you syncing with anything?

  • How to automatically delete iCal events

    I've finally gotten to a "technical place" where I have an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPhone for my wife and I.  Life is good!!
    I've made the switch to iCloud and now manage my calendar on all devices, but I can't seem to find how to set up my calendar to automatically delete old events.
    I would assume that events that were created as the "start" of a repeating event should not be deleted, but those events that I create as non-repeating have little or no value to remain.
    Is there a way to have iCal automatically delete events in the past?
    Jim P.

    Jim,
    Log into iCloud.com, open the Web App Calendar, click on the Prefereces cog, and make the appropriate selections in "Advanced."

  • HT2513 Help! iCal is deleting some events, as well as deleting anything more than 1 month old

    HELP! iCal is deleting events, seemingly at random. It is also deleting everything more than a month old.  Since I have no other record of my calendar, this is a disaster. 
    This has nothing to do with icloud, as my Mac is showing the identical calendar with identically missing items.  Nor have I added or deleted any calendars.

    Do this, and while it is in the open re-examine your cpu pins w/ a bight light and hd zoom or a magnifying glass.
    Thanks, xmad, I'll look at th CPU again tomorrow/next day under the glass when I take the board out.  I already checked them under magnification and was leaning toward a funky board, but it never hurts to re-check.  Eyesight is not what it used to be, for sure (I miss DOS, if that's a clue...).  Don't want to flash the BIOS if not necessary, since it runs Windows fine and everything works except that RAM.
    Bernhard, I don't have CPU-Z installed on that machine and don't want to install anything else until it's working normally.  I'd never seen Click-Bios before and just need to get over my initial suspicion of something new!  Also learn my way around it before I change anything.  I'd never encountered a board reporting a bios different than printed on it.  I've never messed with manual memory settings or done more overclocking than just a little exploratory and suprisingly successful nudge - if you could point me toward a  good basic explaination of all those settings, I could learn from there.
    Appreciate your input very much.   
    Have learned a lot just reading the threads here for the last few days.  This is the best forum I've ever encountered.  I'll report back - some suggestions in other posts resembling my problem ended with no resolution, and that's a shame because one doesn't know if it worked or not.

  • Help! iCal deleting events!

    Help please!
    iCal is deleting events off our business calendar. Everything before 60 days ago has been wiped
    1) Is there anything that can be done to retrieve?
    2) Is there anything that can be done to ensure this stops?
    Please note:
    - All computers and devices that sync with these calendars have been checked and are NOT set to delete past events - including all iCal calendars and Blackberry settings.

    To respond to redsteven1, everything on iCal and Blackberry preferences are set to keep events forever. This was the first thing I checked. Also, I checked preferences on my mobile me account and those settings are the same. Technically, and on the face of it, there should be no reason why any old events would delete. Clearly there is some kind of bug in the software or syncing process. There are no settings on iSync that should affect this either. I checked that too. At first I thought this may just be a Blackberry problem but from my research on these and other forums it appears that the problem isn't limited to Blackberry users.

  • ICal 4.0 and Snow Leopard: can't add / edit / delete events + workaround

    Hi,
    iCal 4.0 under 10.6.1, any changes I made in iCal was reversed when I quit and reopened iCal. Plus my changes didn't sync to my iPod.
    When looking at the Console.app, I saw:
    2009/09/15 13:31:51 iCal[11918] save failed: Error Domain=CalCalendarStorePersistenceErrorDomain Code=1 UserInfo=0x115d4c780 "The end date can’t be set to occur before the start date. Change the end or start date." {
    NSLocalizedDescription = "The end date can\U2019t be set to occur before the start date. Change the end or start date.";
    I tried to export / delete / import all my calendars, that didn't help. Then I noticed I also have the calendar automatically generated for the birthdays from my address book.
    I unchecked "Show Birthdays calendar" from the General preferences. Now iCal works again (I can add / edit / delete events and the error message doesn't show in the Console.app anymore)
    Cheers,
    Janus

    I have updated my OS to 10.9 hoping this to fix my problem.... but nothing... It's still the same....

  • Why is ical automatically setting new events as "all day" events in Lion

    After upgrading to Lion, everytime I add a new event in the Month panel it automatically selects the "all day" checkbox.  It didn't used to do this and it's kind of annoying....anybody else?

    Gustlock,
    Default event creation in Month view results in an all day event.
    Lion iCal Help (Add events to a calendar) says: "Add a new event in Month view by double-clicking within the day you want the event to appear. Enter a name and time duration for the event in the event’s title field, and then press Return."
    So, in your case try entering "Meeting at 9am"...that will create a one hour event named Meeting.
    Lion iCal data detectors are supposed to make entry easier??

  • Deleting event in iCal 5.0.1 not syncing with Google Calendar

    When I delete an event from iCal, it does not sync with Google Calendar.  However, when I create an event in iCal, it syncs just fine with Google Calendar. Creating and deleting events from Google Calendar syncs fine with iCal.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    12/13/2011 - call to google tech support
    Recent support call with Google: iCal deleting events still broken.  this is big for us.  We have users that have accounts for and/or subscribe to multiple calendars, and took a while to teach them to use iCal, so web based calendars will be foreign to them (even though I like the web based).  There is no timeline in place according to Google Tech Support.  I feel like the issue is really Apple's issue, so Google is waiting on them to fix, this type of urgency(or lack of) is right up their alley.  Oh well.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on alternate calendar apps for Mac?  Specifically for google calendars?
    "Regarding the issue about not being able to delete Google Calendar events within iCal, as mentioned it is a known issue which unfortunately we don't have a time frame to offer you.

  • Some Ical all-day events automatically move to Jan 1 2000 (01/01/2000)

    I keep getting ical reminders for events bearing the date of Jan 01 2000. I checked such date in iCal and I noticed that I had over 30 events set for that date. Some are marked as "detached events" from recurring events set in 2006. What is going on??

    I have the exact same problem. I have entered birthdays for people I know starting with the year of their birth and never ending, an all-day event. They now don't show in 2007, but there is a detached event on January 1, 2000. When I delete that event and all subsequent versions of it, the initial event now ends in 2006 or 2007, and I have to set the repeat to end Never again. I fixed all the ones from February that showed up. Now I notice that a huge amount of the other birthdays (all day events) that I have entered are doing it now, and we are talking well over 40 of them. I don't understand why it keeps creating these detached events. I also publish my calendars, if that makes any difference.

  • Cannot delete event in ical

    I have repeated events that have gone wild in my ical. The events show up doubled on the wrong dates and I cannot click on them to delete or edit them…any virus I should know of? I am still on Leopard and have not dared messing with icloud yet either.

    Is your ical connected with any other calendars like Google's?

  • 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.

  • Automatically Delete Calendar Events Older Than a Day old.

    I am trying to have SharePoint automatically delete any events that are a day old.  I have a vacation calendar that needs to remove any older dates and only keep up to date with the new ones.  I have tried to search for the solution and cant
    find anything.  I don't want to filter the events it needs to be removed.
