Ical events getting deleted on ipod

Hi
when I first got my ipod I tried synching it with ical on 2 different computers. It was a mess (many events were either deleted or duplicated, entire calendars were being duplicated on each machine, etc). So I gave up trying to synch with both, cleaned up the ical on the machine I mostly used and then clicked the "replace content on this ipod" option in itunes and started fresh.
However, now whenever I enter a new event into my ipod touch and try to synch, it disappears. It is not on either the ipod or the computer. I checked and the "replace content on this ipod" option is not checked. Any ideas what is going on?
Bonus question - looking through the posts it appears that it is possible to synch with 2 computers, any pointers to make that go more smoothly?
Much thanks!
Sara

Why do my calendar events get deleted from my iphone while I'm viewing the calendar?

I my work schedule in the calendar on my iPhone4S (iOS 5.0.1) earlier today. While trying to review when I work, I saw all 5 calendar events get deleted. There are no longer any events on the days that I added work to my calendar. Anyone else experience this and know how to fix it or recover the events? This is the second time my work schedule has been deleted right in front of my face on my phone.

This happens to me INCESSANTLY. I'm looking at my calendar events one second, and POOF!, the next second all of the events I've entered into the calendar- with the exception of birthdays that are on the actual contact information for a person- are GONE. My calendar settings are set to sync all events- no timeframe- and always have been. This happened to me nonstop on my old iPhone 3GS, and I was sure it was the phone causing this issue. Now, I have my new iPhone 5 in my hands and same ol' , different equipment. I have done EVERYTHING I can think of to prevent this from happening or to restore the data- including rebooting, holding home button and on/off at same time, etc.- and NOTHING works to restore the data. And then, just as magically as the data disappeared, POOF!- the data is back randomly sometime later. That "later" may be 5 mins, a day, several days. This is an absurd and EXASPERATING glitch that APPLE NEEDS TO FIX IMMEDIATELY!!! I'm starting to hate the iPhone and Apple in general when I continuously experience HUGE glitches like this that have a profound impact on what you're trying to accomplish within a feature that you DEPEND on... yet Apple has "never heard of that problem before". You suck, Apple. Don't send your problems out into the real world, to users who just gave you $800 for another glitchy piece of equipment that never solves your software issues.

ICal events being deleted when syncing with Palm Zire 21

I have been syncing my Palm Zire 21 with iCal successfully for over a year with few problems. A few weeks ago I noticed that almost, but not all of the events on both the Palm device and iCal more than three months old were gone. Then, a few weeks later, I noticed that the events suddenly were all back in the iCal application, but not on the Palm device.
But this week, I used HotSync (as usual) to sync iCal and the Palm device, and the events were gone again. Now I am wondering what on Earth I am doing to cause this. I have read the articles about setting up to sync. I double-checked to be sure I have been syncing the way that is outlined in the instructions in the help articles.
I must have missed something vital. I have been backing up my iCal to my .Mac account using Backup. I am thinking that I can restore the iCal events using my last backup. Can I? And how do I keep this from happening again?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) "OS10.4.10" "iSync 2.4" "iCal 2.0.5" "Hotsync 3.1"

Found the issue for me. The events are not deleted, but filtered in the standard calendar view. The iPhone shows everything as it should. Outlook 2003 has all the events to as seen when going to categories view.
It seems that once events pass on the iPhone and then a sync via iTunes to Outlook 2003 the "All Day Event" field is removed from the calendar entry.
Creating another Day/Week/Month View in outlook 2003 that has a filter to only include calendar entries where the "All Day Event" field "does not exist" will allow viewing the "hidden" past events.
Hopefully this will be fixed VERY SOON.

I have synced my calander to have all events until I delete them. I don't even delete an event and two minutes after I put something on it the event gets deleted. How do I prevent this?

I put an event on my calendar and within five minutes it gets deleted. I never delete any events. I already went and synced to all events and it still does it. I want it to stop. Can someone please help me?

go to settings>mail contacts and calenders> check and see if your calender is on under your email.. if so it is probably syncing to your emails calender and not the calender app on your phone..

Why do I get deleted iCal events synced to my iPod Touch?

Hi,
Recently I had to deal with a quite a complicated schedule of events, some that repeated every second day at night, others every third day in the morning, etc. I made errors, deleted them, started over. When I synced, all my errors showed up on my iPod, even when I clicked ‘replace all information from this computer on next sync.’
Can someone help?

Hi Frederick,
1. I assume you all know that this is a user forum, not an Apple support group.
Oh yes, do I ever know that this is not an Apple support group..., but probably not in the sense that you meant it. What about the disastrous firmware for Airport Extreme 4.xx, which dropped connections right left and center, with literally hundreds of forum visitors to get help and advice, and completely ignored by Apple? What about the erratic cursor jumping in system 10.2 to 10.4, where one started to type and suddenly the cursor jumped to a completely different spot in the document and continued there, also reported by dozens of people completely ignored by Apple? Would you like me to continue?
2. Try resetting iSync. Open iSync, go to Preferences, and under Advanced, click on Reset Sync History. (If it is greyed out, wait a bit.)
I don’t and cannot use iSync, since my iPod touch is not a bluetooth device. I use iTunes and the option of resetting the sync history is not present in iTunes. If it is, can you direct me where in the preferences this is available?
Thank you for your help,
Klaus

How can non-visible orphan iCal events be deleted?

Bear with me, this is going to sound very confusing.
I have reported this via the iCal feedback on Apple's Product Feedback main page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
but nothing has changed (not surprising, but more on that later).
My wife publishes her calendar from her computer to MobileMe via iCal (version 3.0.8 on OS X 10.5.8). I subscribe to it on my computer via iCal (version 4.0 on OS X 10.6.1). In her iCal and my iCal, all appears OK. But when I view her published calendar in a web browser (right-click in iCal to "Show Calendar on MobileMe") two orphan all-day events appear (one on 20 October and one on 27 October). And since her calendar appears in my iCal, her calendar appears on my iPhone (OS 3.1.2) AND those two orphan events appear on the iPhone. When the wife logs into her MobileMe account via the web interface and views her calendar, the two orphan events DO NOT appear. Since the two events do not appear to her she can not delete them. But they are cluttering up my iPhone calendar display!
To recap:
The two orphan events appear:
- on my iPhone in the Calendar app
- via a web browser on my Mac
The two orphan events DO NOT appear:
- on wife's iCal
- on wife's MobileMe account
- my iCal via subscription to wife's calendar
The wife did a Sync reset. No change. She unpublished her calendar and I unsubscribed. After waiting 3 days, she published her calendar again, I then re-subscribed. The two orphan events re-appeared but can't be deleted since they don't appear in her iCal or MobileMe account.
So, there are two questions:
1. How does she delete these orphan events since she can not see them?
2. How does my iPhone get them since they don't appear in my iCal and why do they appear via a web browser if they don't appear for her?
I mentioned earlier that I've reported this via Apple's feedback page. I have reported many iCal publish and subscribe problems over the past year. But I have decided that no one at Apple actually ever sees this feedback. Why do I think that? Because, not only have I reported problems with the application, I have also reported problems with the feedback page itself. For example, the latest version of iCal shown on the page is 3.0. How long has 4.0 been out? Also, the page still references ".Mac". Huh? Gee, I thought that was re-branded to MobileMe a long time ago. Since Apple has not updated the feedback page, no one at Apple must be monitoring feedback submitted via those pages, or perhaps they just don't care anymore about their Product Feedback pages. At least, that is the impression they give.
Thanks for the time and any suggestions on how to get the two orphan events to go away. --Mike

Wish I could help.
Instead, I'll simply let you know that you are not alone. The only difference is that I have an orphan calendar that appears on my iPhone.
Said calendar does NOT appear in iCal on my MBP NOR does it appear in Mobile Me.
I do not sync via iTunes.
I would LOVE to know how to delete it as it creates duplicate events for me.

ICal events all deleted after syncing with computer

I synced my iPhone and iMac two days ago, and only this morning realized that ALL my events in my iPhone's iCal are now gone!! I've been keeping track of several important doctor's appointments, my child's school events, personal medical issues, etc and now they're all deleted. After checking, it seems SOME of the events from June were transferred onto the computer's iCal, but then "stopped" there and nothing else was copied. My phone and computer have synced successfully many times, always "sharing" information but never deleting! What's wrong? Can this information be recovered? In some cases, my phone was the only place this information was recorded, so now it's gone. Thanks everyone for your help!!!

Hi there,
I'm having the exact same problem as described above, and I'm a little desperate to get my iCal entries back as well...
Concerning the question of whether I have a backup: I'm actually not sure, maybe you can tell me whether I do? The situation is the following:
I entered a (significant!) number of iCal entries on my iphone directly. The iphone, in turn, is being connected to my MB Pro at home, as well as my PC at work. Podcasts and such are updated from my PC, so I'm guessing that the PC is the primary iTunes linked to the phone. When I connected my iphone to the iTunes on my MB Pro, however, it asked whether I would like to synch as well. As I had a number of iCal entries on my MB Pro that I wanted to also see on my iphone, I agreed. It warned me (like many times before) that this would chance more than 5% of the iCal entries, but it never before had deleted any of them! When I checked again, all my direct iphone iCal-entries had disappeared.
I have Time Machine installed and made a backup of my MB Pro just a few days ago - I'm suspecting though, that if the iphone iCal entries are gone from the iphone, my MB Pro iCal did not remember any of them either, correct?
PLEASE, if someone could help explain this situation, I'd be incredibly grateful! I've never had it happen before that iCal (on either machine) deleted anything...
Many thanks in advance!

Album covers keep getting deleted from ipod

Everytime I shut my ipod off I lose all access to my album covers. Once I plug the ipod back into my computer they are once again able to be accessed until I turn it off again. This problem just started to happen all the time now. I was getting this before when the battery was very low, but now it is happening when the battery is fully charged. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Why do my calendar events gets deleted?

I was wondering why my calendar events have been deleted??

That is extremely vague.
Becasue you delete them.
You input them wrong.
You synced to blank calendar.
You synced to another computer.
You use a flawed exchange server.
Soneone else deletes them.
You restored your iphone.
You selected to replace the iphone content with the computer content.
Perhaps if you were to explain, then someone could be more helpful.

Songs get deleted on ipod when i delete them from the library

This is really annoying, I don't know if its the new iTunes or my new ipod shuffle. But what happens is when i delete a song from iTunes, Those songs are deleted from my ipod when i sync it to the library. I use windows. Now i'm afraid to sync my old ipod (gen 4) to the new itunes cause i'm afriad the same thing will happen and thousands of songs will be deleted off my ipod.
PC Windows XP

Forget that post ... the KB article referred to doesn't apply to Shuffles.
The Shuffle simply works differently. It doesn't have any exact equivalent to the normal 'sync' mode (it uses Autofill instead) and, essentially, is always operating in a reduced version of Manual Mode as experienced on other iPods.
The Shuffle will also be tied to only one single iTunes library at a time, and you can absolutely expect that deleting a track from the Library will also delete it from the Shuffle's playlist (in exactly the same way that deleting a track from your Library also deletes it from all other playlists .... no difference at all).
The only direct way to prevent that from happening is to set things up so that the Shuffle won't launch iTunes as soon as it's plugged in.

Why have my iCal events been deleted?

I checked my calendar yesterday and the Dec entries had been deleted.

I'm having a similar problem and also haven't been able to find anything helpful on the Apple site. Today the last two texts from/to every contact were deleted from my phone. A couple have now come back, but the wrong way round (i.e. I sent it but it shows up on the received side). The only contact this doesn't apply to is my boyfriend's work phone, which is a Blackberry.

TS4337 How can I recover all my deleted iCal events?

My children were playing around on the computer, and for some reason, all my iCal events were deleted. I doubt that they purposefully went through all my events and deleted each one. I checked icloud with no luck, it's still an empty calendar. It's the same way on my phone as well.
How do I get all my events back?!

- On your syncing computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if you do have a backup, if so restore from that backup. When you sync to iTunes the first step is making a backup
- If you use PhotoStream you may be able to get them fromn yuor steam. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Note that the backup and PhotoStream only included photos in your iPod's Camera Roll (or Saved Photos) album. Photos synced to the iPod are not included.

Events in ical on my macbook get deleted when I sync w/my iphone5.

Been having problems getting ical events to merge between iphone5 and macbook. After some suggestions from the community, I discovered I have no icloud in ical system preferences, and events scheduled in ical on macbook gets deleted when syncing to my iphone5. Getting frustrated.

You probably have your iPhone set up to clear out old events. My guess is that the events that are being deleted have already occurred.
Check Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Sync, and make sure the events you want to keep are preserved.

Shouldn't I get a confirmation dialog when I delete an iCal event?

Shouldn't I get a confirmation dialog when I delete an iCal event? When I select an event and hit the delete key, the event is deleted without a confirmation dialog. Aren't we supposed to get a confirmation dialog? I thought I used to get one. This is not good because I sometimes accidentally hit the delete key when working in iCal and the event is gone and I didn't notice that it happened.

Don't know about 10.8, but in 10.6 you don't get one for an ordinary event.

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?
