ICal randomly deleted some events

I use iCal on my iPhone to keep up with everything. From what's for dinner to school programs and appointments.  I keep my calendar, my husbands calendar and my 4 children's calendar in iCal.  Since downloading iCloud,, its been syncing with my ipad and its been great! This morning, I opened iCal and watched as a few events just disappeared. So,  got my iPad thinking that the info would be there and they would sync back up.  But, again, when I opened iCal on my iPad, events began to disappear, not all, just some.  I've reentered as many events and appointments as I can remember back to my phone but, it's not syncing with my iPad.  Maybe that's a whole other discussion question.  Anyway, as I'm trying to get the reentered events to sync with my iPad, more events begin to disappear from my iPad.  This is very frustrating. What's going on??? Is this an iPad issue? And iCloud issue? An iPhone issue? Or a syncing issue?  Maybe all of the above????

I am having the same problem.  Random events just disappear after being entered in iCal.  I sync MacBook (Snow Leopard), MobileMe, and iOS5 iPad and iPhone.  Some times they reappear, and sometimes they don't.

  • 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.

  • ICal month view some events shown only as ..., they show correctly in other views.

    iCal month view some events shown only as ..., they show correctly in other views.

    This is so utterly annoying- I never had this issue with previous versions of iCal, and I can't even run those versions on tiger now that I've upgraded. The tiger upgrade in general has disrupted my workflow much more than I thought it would-
    Because of the way I use iCal, not seeing the full even title in month mode makes iCal pretty much useless to me. I don't want to have to click between dozens of events that begin with "Renders of" to find which set of renderings are due on which days. Nor do I want to go through and rename all of my "Renders of Levels 1a-3c" etc to make the titles more useful. It should just WORK.
    Well, let me know if anyone finds a better way of making this work other than "resizing ad lib until things sorta show up"

  • 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?

    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.

  • Can't delete some events

    With iMovie 7.1.4 I can't delete some events : error -37
    Some of those events have no movies
    Some have movies but are not in use in projects
    I tried to delete some files via Finder with result : iMovie quit soon after starting and I was obliged to rebuilt the folder.
    Those unused events take 10 go of space. What can I do ?

    You can delete the Event folders in the Finder.

  • ICal keeps deleting repeat Events

    I created some events with the repeat option ON for every month. When I delete an old event with the repeat option ON, I press delete only this event keep repeats ON, but iCal deletes all repeats. How can I solve this?

    This is the iSync forum - iSync does not sync to .Mac.
    The *.Mac Sync* forum is here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
    However, there is an online document relating to the issue (found by typing the error into Google):

  • Deleting SOME events from a series of recurring events.

    I have entered a recurring event in iCal. I have attempted to delete selected ones of these events from the series. However, whenever I sync iCal to my BlackBerry device (using PocketMac for BlackBerry), they always return. How can I delete these selected events from this series so they do not return?

    Ostrowsky S,
    Click on the icon with three bullets/three lines at the bottom of the iCal window.
    That will open the "Events & To Do" pane of iCal, and then ( + Click) on the events which you would like to delete. Then use the delete key to remove the selected (non-contiguous) events.
    ;~)

  • IPhone sync to iCal not deleting old events!!

    Can anyone help me? I just upgraded to the 10.5.2 and since that moment every time I change an event in my iCal and sync with my iPhone the iPhone keeps the old events and adds the new ones, so I end up having tons of duplicates. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have a solution? Thanks

    If you are in Toronto using an unlocked iPhone, I am not sure anyone here is going to be able to come up with a solution for a problem you are having once unlocked...
    Apple relocks their iPhones if you upgrade to the eventual 1.1.4 or update iTunes. I don't know if they also change registry settings at all causing certain things to not work properly on unsupported iPhones.
    IF you are using a standard ATT-based Apple supported iPhone, you can also try uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling, and resyncing to see if that helps.
    Also - make sure that while connected under the INFO tab, you have the correct calendar selected for where you want to place new events, in case it somehow got unchecked during the update process.
    I don't know about you, but 10.5.2 changed none of my settings and everything is syncing properly to iCal in both directions.

  • ICal deleting my events?

    I created my Uni. timetable on iCal. As soon as I closed it, all the events I created were gone. Now I find that every time I create a random event, and close the app, iCal will delete my events.
    This is getting to me... It took me hours to do my Uni. timetable for the whole year... And then all gone with no explanation!
    Does anyone know what is going on?

    I am having a similar problem...
    Except Ical seems to delete random events from my calendar.
    For example, I KNOW that I entered each and every one of my daughter's soccer games onto my calendar yet now they are all gone.
    Or I know that I entered a doctor's appointment and now it seems to have disappeared.
    I use MobileMe and have an iPod Touch and I am wondering if it's a syncing issue!?!
    Makes me worry about what else has magically disappeared!!!
    Or if I do a spotlight search for an iCal event it doesn't come up with any results yet I see the events listed on my calendar with those exact same words in the title???
    What is going on???

  • Calendar won't allow me to delete an event

    I can not delete some events in my calendar. It also is alerting me every day.

    I have just noticed that there are two events that this affects.
    Both are birthdays automatically added to iCal through the address book.
    They are Right on iCal, but when they are synced on to My Mobile the date of the event has been changed to the 1st of the month rather than the actual day of the event, any suggestions?

  • ITunes randomly deleting content - the "!" shows beside them, but they are not where iTunes says they are

    Hi - I find that iTunes has been randomly deleting some content (movies or songs) from my library.  I'll go to play something and it will have an exclamation point beside it.  Sometimes if I "Get Info" and locate the file, it will be there, and then play fine.  But sometimes it is completely gone from the library (still listed with an exclamation point, but not in the file folder it was stored in).  In that case, the location in the "get info" window shows as:
    file://localhost/Users/Username/.Trash/iTunes Media/Movies/Movie Title/Movie Title.m4v
    Even if I view hidden files, I cannot find that folder location to move the content.  The content is also not in the Trash, nor on the extrernal hard drive any more.
    NO idea why this is happening, and can't figure out a pattern.  Is anyone else having this issue, and/or found a solution?
    As background, I'm on a MacBook Pro (2011), running OSX Lion.  I sync an iPhone and an iPad2 to the iTunes library.  iTunes is set to manage files automatically.  The library is stored on an external hard drive accessed through a Time Machine.
    Thanks to anyone that can help!

    file://localhost/Users/Username/.Trash/iTunes Media/Movies/Movie Title/Movie Title.m4v
    But that file location is your System Trash -  you seem to have a problem with the permissions on your Trashes, either in your system Trash or the hidden Trash bin on your external drive.
    See if any hints in this document help to locate the trash on your external drive:
         Solving Trash Problems: http://thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html
    The library is stored on an external hard drive accessed through a Time Machine.
    Do you mean your Library is stored on a network volume (Time Capsule)? Then network problems may be the reason for your dead tracks.

  • Why does my new iPod touch randomly delete my apps?, Why does my new iPod touch randomly delete my apps?

    I got an iPod for Xmas and it seems to randomly delete some of my apps... Luckily they were all free but I'm scared to buy any I case it happens again.

    Are you sure they are not just moved to another screen or folder? Do a Spotlight search for them to confirm thay are actually removed.
    All your apps should be kept on your computer, in your iTunes account. You control which apps you want on your touch thru iTunes sync settings. If you have not been syncing to iTunes, and the apps are truly gone, you can re-download them for free from the iTunes Store> Quick Links> Purchases section and then sync back to the touch.

  • IMessage randomly deleted old messages?

    Hi there - after upgrading to iOS, Messages randomly deleted some of my old messages for some of my contacts.  For example, I previously had over a year of correspondence with my best friend, and as of last Saturday it just completely restarts.  Some of the older messages are on my iPad (some of them that were sent from the iPhone aren't, for some reason).
    Settings-wise, I still have it set to retain messages forever, and I have a ton of open storage space.  Ideas?

    No, it would not continue a thread on her phone from your non-iPhone, but would be its own. The threads are created based not just on the contact, but the device. So, if she had not deleted a thread from you from your Android device, then you texted her from your iPhone, it would be two separate threads. Then if you iMessaged from your iPod, it would be like a 3rd device, since that comes from your email.
    I do not understand why old threads would be deleted, since there isn't anything in the iPhone that will automatically delete a thread. The only exception is if your SMS inbox is full, but we are talking a lot of messages before that happens.

  • ICal Help Needed! (cannot delete calendars/events on computer and iPhone)

    Hi Everyone,
    I need some help with my iCal. Background info:
    -Currently have an iPhone 3GS
    -Using Google Calendar
    -Use separate calendar on iPhone (Pocket Informant)
    -Wanted to sync all event from Outlook to Google Calendar to iCal to two calendars on phone (this became an issue with alarms so began attempting to delete all events from the original iPhone calendar that I do not want to use)
    I started by syncing my Outlook (one way) with my Google Calendar, which syncs with the iCal on computer and Pocket Informant on iPhone, as well as iCal on iPhone. Duplicate alarms started occurring on the phone (PI and iCal). I then attempted to delete all events from the iCal on the computer. One calendar remains, one that I subscribed to from Yahoo Sports. I have tried everything to delete this calendar, but it seems impossible. After I sync the phone, the subscribed calendar shows up as well as birthdays and one calendar from my Google Calendar, on my phone.
    So, the issues, and what I would eventually like to see:
    1. I would like all events cleared from iCal on computer (currently just subscribed calendar that will not delete)
    2. I would like to delete all events from calendar on phone (subscribed calendar, birthdays, and one calendar from Google) *I cannot even delete these events by hand on my phone.
    3. In the end I would like to just continue to sync Outlook with Google which syncs with PI and then do nothing with iCal (on phone and computer) *Well really I would like events from Google synced with iCal on computer, but this doesn't seem feasible so I would settle with not using it at all.
    The only thing I can think of to do at this point is to delete iCal, but I am not even sure this would correct the calendar issue on my phone as I am unable to delete that and the sync does not seem to be working correctly.
    Any help on this would be much appreciated!
    Thank you in advance!!

    The edit feature was working correctly with the calendars and stopped. Performed a sync through iTunes removing syncing preferences first. Did not resolve the issue. I am considering restoring the iphone.
