ICal deleting past appointments

I'm hoping that someone can shed a little light on this problem. We are a small business using iCal for all our appointments and as a result it holds valuable information which is often used as passed reference.
Last week I discovered that approx 6 months of our calender (Feb-Aug 2008) has been wiped off, and I can't figure out why.
My business partner syncs his Blackberry to it using 'Missing Sync' and I have checked both the Blackberry settings and the Missing Sync Settings. I have also checked the iCal preferences and all seems fine.
Any ideas gratefully received.
In the near future we will need to shift to a shared calender and I would be grateful for recommendations. I have tried (and purchased) Sync Together from Mark/Space and after initial success I have failed to resolve issues and have stopped sing the software. Alternitives appear to be Kerio Mail or going for it in a big way and running a separate machine with OS 10.5 server.
Many thanks for your assistance.

Have you had any luck figuring out the solution? We're having the same problem!

8130 Deleting past appointments

I have seen this thread posted a couple of times, but no final answers. I am hoping someone can still help me. I have just purchased an 8130 through US Cellular and all of my past appointments, older than 10 days, are getting deleted each time I sync. I am running a USB cable sync with desktop manager. I have both DM and the phone set to keep appointments forever and transfer all items. After 2 hours on the phone with US Cell tech support, no resolution. I have a 2 gig memory card in the phone and have transferred all rintones, pics and videos over to the card to free up phone memory. Phone memory currently says, 8462299 free. Thanks in advance.

I don't know exactly where it is and don't have a setup where I can check it, but basically you need to modify the setting in Desktop Manager.
In DM go into Sync settings, select your Calendar sync and click the Advanced button. You should find the setting in there.

Why does ical delete my past events when all settings indicate that it should not?

All of the boxes, about deleting past events, in ical preferences are unchecked, so I can't figure out why ical deletes my past events. Could it be because of a setting on either my iphone or ipad causing this to happen?

I had the same problem a few weeks ago and called apple support. The solution is as follows:
Most apple users have multiple devices using icloud such as an iPdad, iPhone, and other computers. In my case, I had two computers, two iPads, and one iPhone. After speaking to apple support, I realized that one of my ipad's setting were set to delete events older then 2 weeks. In short, if you are expeirienceing problems with ical deleteing events, you better check all your devices. If just one of them is set wrong in your preferences, you will lose past events. Even check computers you gave to your cildren or other members of the family. You will probably find out that the settings on one of these machines is causing your problems.

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.

After 60 days, Blackberry Desktop Sync deletes all appointments in Lotus Notes desktop. Help!

This is a problem that I just discovered. I understand why appointments older than 60 days are deleted from the database on my Curve 6330. However, I just discovered that whenever I sync with my Lotus Notes calendar, the Blackberry Desktop software is also deleting calendar appointments on on my Lotus Notes desktop calendar that are more than 60 days old. My Lotus notes desktop calendar is my sole record of old appointments. How can I set up Blackberry Desktop to sync calendar entries (including task entries and memo entries) without also deleting calendar (and task entries for that matter) entries that are more than 60 days old from my Lotus Notes desktop. Many thanks!

I have provided some information below that may help.
Step 1 – If you have a previous backup saved on the Curve, I would recommend trying to restore that backup.
Step 2 – Ensure the songs are placed on the SD card.
Step 3 – Ensure the songs are not controlled by DRM. Files controlled by DRM cannot be copied to the BlackBerry smartphone, and are not recognized on Blackberry smartphones.

How to recieve past appointments with FindAppointmentsAsync?

How can I recieve all past appointments with the new WP8.1 API
I use this code for example but I get only
"non" recurring appointments from -15 days until + 30 days
and recurring appointments from -30 days until +30 days
var appointmentStore = await AppointmentManager.RequestStoreAsync(AppointmentStoreAccessType.AllCalendarsReadOnly);
var appointments = await appointmentStore.FindAppointmentsAsync(DateTime.Now - TimeSpan.FromDays(30), TimeSpan.FromDays(60));
I note that the native Calendar have the same behavoir.

It may be an issue with how your Calendar is setup (through Exchange?). I can see calendar events even for a year ago (April 2013) and for next year (April 2015) using this code:
AppointmentStore appointmentStore = null;
appointmentStore = await AppointmentManager.RequestStoreAsync(AppointmentStoreAccessType.AllCalendarsReadOnly);
IReadOnlyList<Appointment> appointments = await appointmentStore.FindAppointmentsAsync(DateTime.Now - TimeSpan.FromDays(365), TimeSpan.FromDays(365*2));

IPhone is deleting my appointments in Office 2003

I have the phone synched with my PC and set up Mobile me. First day at work with the phone and left it plugged in to the computer all day to stay charged. As each meeting notice passed today, the meeting was deleted from my calendar on my PC - But are still visible on the iPhone.
What's going on, and how do I stop it from deleting my appointments??? It took em one at a time - not clearing the whole day!

I too have the same issue in Outlook 2007. Appointments get deleted after the start time has passed and I do another sync, or so it seems. When I search for the appointment or change the calendar view to "Active Appointments", I see the record of the appointment. This explains why the appointments still show on the iPhone even after I force an overwrite during a sync. I have a call into tech-support and they've escalated to engineering. iPhone is changing a field on the appointment record which causes Outlook to filter it from the standard Day/Week/Month view. I tried customizing the Outlook view as well but there are no filters set.

How do I delete past app purchases?

How do I delete past app purchases?

If you mean from your purchase history then you can't currently permanently delete them - you can just hide (and unhide) them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding purchases.
If you just want to the delete an app from your iPad then press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. You cannot delete any of the Apple built-in apps e.g. Music/iPod, App Store, Game Centre etc. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

Are there settings I need to make to prevent my iPad 2 from automatically deleting past data?

Hi, I have the same problem. Mine are deleting after three months. I use iCloud, so I'm losing the data on my iMac. my iPhone and my iPad. I can find nothing in Settings to control this (there used to be a setting a few years ago). If you get an answer, please let me know.

Sync deletes serial appointments

Hi,
we're synchronising our iPhones (3GS) with outlook (Win XP PC, Outlook 2002) using iTunes. But there is a Problem. While synchronising, the iPhone deletes serial appointments in Outlook. Not all of them and not every time, but regular it kills one or another appointment. I'm pretty ****** of by now. As i read here, there seem to be very often problems in sync the calender. Is there a solution by now?

Hey burko74,
Are all of your calendar events being set to keep forever on the BlackBerry?
This option is located under Calendar>Options>Keep Calendar Appointments?
If it is set to 60 days, change to forever. Save the change, and try synchronizing.
