ICal removes events after 6 months

iCal automatically deletes events except for recurring events after six months. I want to keep all events as a record but cannot find anyway to do that. Is that be possible? I'm using iCal version 2.0.5.

HT2513 my iCal shows events in the "month" view but not in the "week" view? why is that?

my iCal shows events in the "month" view but not in the "week" view? why is that? doesnt sync automatically all the time only sometimes

How can I STOP ical from deleting all my events after a month or so

No matter how I set the preferences/settings it always keeps deleting all events after 30 to 40 days.
I have gone into preferences and checked off the
"DELETE EVENTS AFTER...
and put 99 or 999 days and it doens make a difference
If Ileave the box unchecked - it STILL doesn't make difference
Anyone has a suggestion?
as I keep loosing all the important info/phone numbers I enter.
Thanks
Bruno

Bruno,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are you using any sync software?
The easiest thing to try is to refresh the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart, and make sure the deletion preference is not checked.

ICal Duplicate Events After Upgrading to Snow Leopard

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I noticed almost all my Events were duplicated. The Duplicates were collected from all calendars and are in one of the Calendars (Paul Events). Strangely a new Calendar (Paul Events 2) was created, but deleting this Calendar did not help. Additionally a previously deleted Calendar from months ago was re installed.
I have a MobileMe account that syncs automatically.
Did this happen to anyone else. I am still developing a solution to get rid of the duplicate events, but don't have one yet.

A lot of Duplicate Events, too.
After the Snow Leopard upgrade, performed 10/19/09, and the immediate update to OSX 10.6.1, I wanted to sync my iPod Touch 2G.
I was notified I had 67 iCal events to add, and 18 more modified events (85 total -- (a lot of birthdays). All were duplicates. I didn't sync. Is there any way to delete them?
Also, over the past 18 months of MBP ownership, my alarms for each event have increased to about 8 (they sound once, but I have to clear each of them on my computer screen), And my Contact notes, have doubled+ (as if Copy + Paste were used), with many spaces, and some of the information lost.
I was hoping for a Contacts & Calendar that would match the stability of my retired Windows Mobile Dell Axim X50v, before it took a virus, spread it to my Gateway desktop, completely destroying it (the desktop is NO MORE (couldn't be fixed) and I've retired the Axim).
What is the solution?

ICal lost events after upgrading to the New Mobileme Calendar

After updating to the New MobileMe Calendar on my home computer, the iCal at work stopped syncing, i.e. none of the events show up.
I tried quitting iCal, stopped syncing, and synced again to replace data on work computer, but didn't work.
MobileMe calendar has all the data intact. iCal at home seems to load all the events fine. (10.6.6 on iMac, both at home and work.)
Please provide advice. Thanks!

HT2966 Why does ical delete information on calendar after eight months? Why isn't data retained on calendar? (Apart from actually saving or backing up ical?)

Why does ical automatically delete information on calendar after eight months or so? Why doesn't data which has been inserted on calendar remain on the relevant dated calendar? (Apart from actually saving or backing up calendar).

How are your settings in iCal preferences set?
iCal-->Preferences-->Advanced-->Delete events __ days after they have passed.

All of a sudden my ical will not allow me to add events through the monthly view mode.

All of a sudden my ical wil not allow me to add events throught the monthly display mode. I ahve to go the the daily or the weekly mode.

Hi John,
Thanks so much for wading in. I did exactly what you suggested - glad you gave me the hint about how to access my library files. There was only one document that seemed to have anything to do with cache, and that was called Calendar Cache. (I've attached a screen capture of all the files incase I should have deleted something else as well.) I deleted Calendar Cache then restarted iCal, but after updating I was still unable to add new events.
Is there anything else you can suggest?
Thanks again,
Susan

I used to be able to attach a document to an iCal entry. After the latest update, it appears this option has been removed. How can I add an attachment now? Thanks!

Hi Dan,
Yes, iCal 4.0.4 (1395.7). In edit mode, the 'attachments' option is between 'Invitees' and 'URL' (see below). As I said this is for calendars under On My Mac, I suspect you are not seeing this as your event is on MobileMe.
Best wishes

In ICal is there a way to see all of the text in all day events on the month view of the calendar. Seems to wrap text only if there is a time on the event

The paths won't agree on the two OSs so a simple XML import isn't likely to work.
See Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers and, if needed, Make a split library portable. The techniques in the first link will work when moving the library between Windows and OS X as long as the library is "portable", but iTunes takes quite some time checking the database when the library is opened under a different OS.

In iCal how do i set an event every 3 months

In iCal how do i set an event every 3 months.

Sk8trdad,
I presume that your question relates to the Calendar App on the iPad.
You have to use the "repeat>Custom" setting on the Desktop version of iCal.

ICal hiding events in "Month" view

Hello. My iCal hides some events in the "Month" view, but shows them in the "Day" and in the "Week" view (it is actually hiding the events from the week of October 16th to October 22nd of 2011) What can i do?
Thanks!

Peggy,
Also try refreshing the iCal plist file.
The com.apple.iCal.plist file is in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. If you are using Lion to get to the Library folder use Finder>Go>Depress the "Option" Key and select LIbrary. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop. Then log out/in or restart.

My calendar events are dropped after the month is over. How can I stop that from happening?

My calendar events are dropped after the month is over. How can I prevent this from happening?

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [scroll way down to the Calendars section] Sync = "All events"

How do you make multi day events show as such in iCal? It only shows the first day of the event in the monthly overview.

I'd like to be able to view these events from the monthly and yearly overviews.

I have this same problem with my iPad and iPhone. I don't want all of my events to be set as all-day events, as some have different start or finish times. Why (Apple) do you think that when we set an event that spans over midnight, but does not last all day, we don't want to see it when we check our month view or list view??
Come on Apple. We want to see all our events, shown on every day that they feature. You must be causing some people real problems when they glance at their month view and end up double booking an appointment because it doesn't show.

Agent disappeared automatically and it appeared in pending management after 6 months.

We had a server (Windows server 2003 64 bit) which was installed and was working fine. Suddenly it disappeared automatically and it appeared in pending management after 6 months. We noticed it only when it came to pending management that the server disappeared
from Agents managed TAB. When we checked the server and found that SCOM was uninstalled or disappeared or what ever. We re installed SCOM now and now from past 1 week we see that the agent is fine.
We are using SCOM 2007R2 CU4 in our environment.
I want to know the reason for this. Post installation of SCOM after this incident we checked the event logs and found the data for the last working of SCOM in that server and found the below events. I was not able to get that much old data in the SCOM Management
server. But got the data from the Agent.

Hi,
Based on my understanding, that you re-installed your SCOM, and now everything works fine. You want to know that why your SCOM run into problem 6 months before, right?
According to the event logs in your agent, we could not tell what happened to your Operation manager. What I can see is that the management group was removed from the agent then. And there are some errors when moniored by the former management group.
I would like to suggest you check out what actions have you do on your former management group 6 months before. Maybe we can check the operation manager logs on your management server.
Regards,
Yan Li

IPhone's iCal has events back to 2008, even though not in iCal on computer?

I recently upgraded my iPhone to firmware v3.0, and iTunes to 8.2.
Upon syncing, I noticed that my iPhone has iCal events going back months (and some even to 2008), that are not in the iCal on my computer. My computer doesn't have ANY events prior to today (July 18), yet my iPhone seems to remember some prior events I had on it dating back to September 2008, and many in between. Why this discrepancy and how can I fix it? (and yes, I've checked the "don't sync events more than 1 day old", and opened up the iCal preferences/advanced tab and checked the "Delete events 1 day after they have passed" box, to no avail).
Thanks,
jman995x

No, not even that...just random stuff....Dental Appt on September 28, 2009....Register for school on January 17, 2009, etc., etc.
Mind you, there were many more things on (and in between) those aforementioned dates, but for some reason a few of these random calendar events just won't leave my iPhone. Granted, I could manually delete said events from my iPhone, but that is really tedious and there's like 60 of them.
Any advice as to why random dates are plaguing my iPhone's iCal would be greatly appreciated.
