ICal syncing old events

Hi
I have a strange problem... I just moved to a new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion. Now when new CalDav events come in, iCal picks up an event in my email from two + years ago and adds THAT to the calendar ... not the new event.
Any ideas?

I found the problem was a setting on the SLVR for deleting events in the phone's datebook after the set amount of time passed.

Sync phone with iCal deletes old events in iCal

Whenever I use iSync to sync my mobil phone old events in iCal are deleted. This never used to happen, I need the old events for work. Can anyone help?

I also upgraded to the latest version of Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac v 1.0.6 (Build 16).
I synchronized my calendar and EVERYTHING from iCal was deleted. Fortunately, my Blackberry Calendar is intact. Despite this annoyance, this is still a major improvement over the first time I installed the desktop (sarcasm intended).
I also tried creating an event on iCal and synchronized. This new event sychronized with my Blackberry. When I open the event the Send Using entry is the same email address that I used for all my other entries on my Blackberry.
So basically, my Blackberry Events don't sync to my iCal, but my iCal events sync with my Blackberry.
<RANT> It is very baffling why RIM hasn't been able to solve these problems for the past 3 years. I'm still happier using Parallels with Microsoft Outlook (it hurts to say that) than using this unreliable product. It's things like these that prevent me from using my Mac Calendar and Address Book. The proposition value for switching to an iPhone is looking better every day.</RANT>

ICal syncing showing events twice

running ical 1.5.5. looks fine on my computer, but everything i sync it with (iPod, online Published calendar, and konfabulator PIM widget) shows every event twice, sometimes three times. very weird and very annoying. anyone have any ideas about this or how i could fix it?

Hey Andrew,
this might help for I too have had the misfortune of stumbling onto this problem. I had duplicate and even triplicate events. Basically you can have either your calendars as a group to publish or as individual calendars published. You cannot have both published for example you cannot have the group CALGROUP set to publish and all the other calendars under it set to publish also. So far it has worked for me. Just set all the other calendars "under" the group name to unpublish and just have the group name set to publish. Hope this helps.

TS4118 My ical on my iPhone is not continuing to sync my old events from my ical even though they show up in iCloud?

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.

Is there a way to restore or save old events in iCal?

I just sorted out my at iCal and figured out the syncing process with Mobile Me and iPhone. I am quite happy. A bit disappointed that Mobile Me does not do subscription calendars like holidays. Birthdays are different between iCal and Mobile me, subscribed on Mobile Me. Plus Canadian Holiday Calendar 1.0 webcal://ical.mac.com/ical/Canadian32Holidays.ics does not include Easter, humm.
I noticed that a lot of old events have disappeared. Is there a way to restore old events or is there a preference in iCal for saving them? I have not requested to have any old items deleted

Thanks for your thoughts!

Why is ical on iPhone 5s missing old events only on list view??

i have the latest ios7 on my iphone 5s. i only noticed this recently that old events more than 1 year old are missing from ical once i am in list view (magnifying glass) but present on day/week/month view? On settings it is set to sync all events and events are present but not via list view. The reason this is annoying as month view is just dots which does not help if you have different coloured categories.
Its puzzling bth. With events showing when not in list view shows icloud is working but i don't get this?
thanks den

I am not witnessing any instability problems on my 5S. I would check with each of the developers to see if their apps are compatible with iOS8 before deciding this is a problem with your individual device or the iPhone all together.

When I sync my iPod to my MacBook through iTunes new events do not show up and old events are not deleted. I am using Snow Leopard and not iSync.

I am using Snow Leopard on a MacBook. I have an iPod touch 3G. I do not use iSync it Mobile Me. When I sync my iPod through iTunes new events on my iPod do not show up on my Mac and old events do not delete. I have read help instructions that include deleting the data on the iPod. The iPod has the correct data and the Mac does not so I have not followed those instructions. I need help as the only reason I bought the Mac was to be able to sync, back up, view and print my calendar. Currently it is useless. If only Apple could have learned from the elegance of the Palm software.

Why is iCloud deleting old events in iCal, older than 2 months?

I'm using an iMac, MacBook & iPhone 4 to sync my calendars with iCloud. Running Lion, everything is up to date w/IOS 5. I initially set up iCloud to sync everything from my iMac to the cloud so all my old calendar items would be there (from several years past). It also synced to my other devices no problem. Now I only see 2 prior months worth of events on any of them! Everything before that is gone. I though my iPhone may have been the culprit but my iPhone was set to sync the past 3 months of events so I don't understand why it's only showing the past 2 months.
What I'd like to do is sync everything one time so it's there, but on future syncs have it only sync the most recent stuff (3 months). I don't want it searching the whole database from 3 years ago to find stuff to sync, just want it to leave that stuff there, on all my devices. Right now it keeps deleting the old stuff.
Any ideas what the source of my problem is?
If it's the iPhone setting to sync only the past 3 months, is there a way to keep old items in the calendar, but only "sync" the latest stuff? Or is my only option to select "sync all events"?
thanks.

I think I solved it. My Macbook was set to delete items after 60 days. Grrrrr....

ICal / iPhone sync problems - events don't appear in iCal

I have MobileMe set up on both my MacBook and iPhone. All iCal-created events now appear on my iPhone (although only those after 9th May 2008; none before), but if I create an event on my iPhone then it doesn't show up on iCal. If I check MobileMe on the internet, my web-based version of iCal has all events, including those that I create on the iPhone.
On iCal I have two calendar types: Home (Blue) and Work (Green). On my iPhone there are now four types, for some reason: two Homes (both Blue) and two Works (both Green). I have tried experimenting by creating events in all calendars, but none sync to appear in iCal on my MacBook.
Help!

After 3.5 hours on the phone with applecare, I believe this problem of not syncing ical from ipod touch to the ical app is resolved. Here are the steps that made it happen for me:
Log out of main account and log into root account. If you haven't set up the root user yet follow the directions in your Mac Help on your computer. Make sure you understand the implications of setting up the root user account. You may want to disable the root user after you are done with this fix.
In Finder, navigate to /Users/(your account)/Library/Application Support and delete every folder in the Application Support directory that has the word 'Sync' in the folder's name.
Log out of the root account and back into your main account. Sync your ipod touch / iphone and see if this worked for you.
Good Luck!

When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer" most of which are years old and many are recurring events. I'm afraid to proceed

When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer" most of which are years old and many are recurring events. I'm afraid to proceed with sync.

Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

Entourage 2008 & iCal sync inaccurate free / busy status for events

On a campus using Exchange 2007, I am using Entourage 2008 and sync to iCal 3.0.2 (Leopard) via Sync Services in Entourage's preferences. Both Exchange 2007 and Entourage 2008 have only been installed in the last two months.
I have found that events which I mark as "free" in Entourage 2008 are changed to "busy" after a sync with iCal. The free / busy status is correct when the sync with Exchange takes place, but the status is incorrectly changed to busy every time the iCal sync takes place.
I need to put campus events, co-worker planned absences, and similar things on my calendar, but these items need to remain as "free" so that I can be scheduled during those times. This all worked correctly with Entourage 2004 and the older version of Exchange.
Does anyone know how to correct this behavior so that the free / busy status is not changed with a sync to iCal?

Sue,
Wish I could offer some good advice, but the easy syncing of iCal and Entourage 2008 so far has been impossible if not a nightmare.
When you go to import in Entourage and iCal is NOT listed as "another application", we are in HUGE trouble.
A real shame that in today's world of "New Media" and PDA's like iPhones and Blackberry that the two billionaires from Apple and MS did not provide us with easy and simple export/import/sync tools.
Maybe they should rename Office 2008 to Office 1984

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.

Problem when sync repeat events with ical

Hi all,
I've a strange problem that happen when I sync repeated events on my mac versus iphone...
With iCal I can see correctly an events repeated for example for two days... (using the option repeat every day with an end date). After syncing, on imac it will be correct but on iphone (3.1.2) the same event are repeated with one more day added, three instead of two:(
Any idea about that?
Kind regards,
Stefano

Hi guys, any idea?

When I enter events in my calendar to quickly, when it auto-syncs it will revert back to my old event.

When I enter events in my calendar to quickly, when it auto-syncs it will revert back to my old event.
If I have two calendars in use, if I use one (say red "home") and decide I want to change it to another (say green "work") it will revert back
I've called Apple, been in the store to meet numerous "geniusus" and no one can figure it out. Most apple assistants tell me over the phone that "that is not possible", well it is possible and the so-called "geniuses" have seen and confirmed it is possible but to this point the only thing "impossible" is solving the problem.
NOTHING MORE FRUSTRATING THAN PUTTING AN APPOINTMENT IN MY CALANDAR ONLY TO MISS IS BECAUSE OF AN APPLE ERROR

Naughty,
You are posting a Pages question in the Numbers forum. I am going to ask thie be moved to the Pages forum. In addition please post a screenshot. Based on playing with a chart in Pages, I do not think the charts take their input from a table, but rather, you enter the data by clicking the chart (to activate it), then clicking the button "Edit Chart Data":
manually editing the entries in the table:
I would think you want to have a table in Numbers to create the data, then copy and paste the data into the data table for the chart (I wouldn't type it in)
