ICloud is randomly deleting iCal entries

At several points over the past week, I thought my calendar appeared unusually "thinned out". Then last night I noticed an appointment I had been delaying for a while was nowhere to be seen.
At first I thought it may be somewhere on my calendar, a week back or so. This is because I had been rescheduling that appointment often, so I had moved it back, a day here and a day there, every week for the past month or so. I knew the exact title of the entry so I did a search for it.
It was gone. Apparently deleted. I refreshed everything and even checked my iPad & iPhone calendars for it Nothing...
I blamed myself, re-created the entry, and moved on. At this time I also made several new entries and planned my week. Then today I went back to my calendar on my Mac, opened iCal, saw the appointments for today, that I entered last night, disappear before my very eyes. I then picked up my iPhone to view the calendar there, and they were gone.
Next I picked up my iPad and turned off Wi-Fi as quickly as possible. Once Wi-Fi was disconnected and I was no longer online, I opened iCal and there were my appointments. There were five different instances of appointments scheduled last night that we're now deleted and gone. This is important because it rules out an accidental deletion. I took a screen grab to preserve my data, and went looking for answers. I found none.
I'm freaked out. I live & die by my iCal and I'm worried this has happened before where maybe I didn't notice.
The only recent change I can possibly link to this iCloud synced iCal, is that I allowed an app called FlightTrack Pro to "Sync with iCloud". Which is relatively reassuring, only because it was a fairly new addition, therefore decreasing the likelihood that there were problems in the past. IF its this access causing the deletions.
Any ideas?

I had the exact same thing happen several times. I too independently concluded that it could only be the updated FlightTrack Pro App feature as you stated. It was the only new thing on my devices. My Apple tech support expert told me to read your entry. I agree and disabled the 'SYnc with iCloud' feature. But I'm still allowing the 'SYnc with Calendar' option. But if the iCal entries that I just made disappear again, I will then disable that button on FT Pro. A major pain.

How to change iCloud primary account without deleting ical entries on existing primary account?

Hi, I've got a bit confused and befuddled with my icloud account(s), as I had a MobileMe account before icloud and an itunes / Apple account. On my iphone and ipad, I've set up icloud on my itunes / Apple account details, which means I have a photo stream that works between these two devices. I also have something silly like 7 ical calendars on my iphone / ipad; two on an icloud account under the same log-in as my itunes, one on my gmail email account (which is the email account that is also my itunes / Apple account name) and four on a @me.com account I acquired from the old MobileMe days. Although not perfect, it's worked ok for a while, until I wanted to move photos from iphoto on my mac to my photo stream, and realised I had two photo stream accounts, and the one linked to my mac wouldn't enable photos to be seen on my iphone or ipad.
So I read a lot of stuff on here and decided I needed to change my primary icloud on my mac, ensuring it was my itunes account rather than my icloud account. I did this last night and all the diary entries in my mac ical disappeared. I then went back and deleted the itunes account details as my primary account and reinstalled the icloud details. On doing this, I realised I only have four calendars in my mac ical - and these are all on my @me.com account, none of the gmail calendars appear.
What I'd like to do, if possible, is migrate all my @me.com calendars and photo stream into one icloud account, using my itunes log-in details. This will, hopefully, mean I can cut down on the number of calendars on my iphone and ipads, ensure everything synchs across the mobile devices and my mac, and ensure I can use photo stream across all three. Can anyone suggest how I can do this please?

When you delete an iCloud account from a device, that has no effect on the iCloud accounts on other devices or the content in that iCloud account. You are just deleting that account from that particular device.
Her content will still be in iCloud.

Deleting iCal entry on iPhone using iCloud

I've deleted a recurring item on iCal, however it still shows up on my iPhone. I sync using iCloud. I tried to delete the item manually, but get no option to delete the item on the iphone. Any suggestions?

OK this is what I did and it corrected my problem. On my iphone in iCloud, I turned off Calendars and Deleted 'previously synced iCloud calendars'. Then I went into iTunes and in the Advanced window in the Info tab, I checked calendars so during the next sync only, iTunes replaced selected info on the iPhone. When I checked my phone the 'deleted recurring event' was finally gone from my iPhone.

My iphone is deleting ical entries and thereby ruining my life. help!

Randomly entries get deleted from my iphone or ical. It's hard to tell exactly what is causing it as it's very random but it definitely is not my imagination. A couple of weeks ago it deleted half term. This weekend it deleted one of my best friend's birthday. I thought perhaps it was because I had checked the 'do not sync events older than 30 days box' so I unchecked that but it made absolutely no difference. If anything the problem has got worse, not better. All suggestions gratefully received!

Hi,
The iSync application controls syncing on your Mac, if the issue was caused by the iPhone being synced Resetting the Sync History will most likely resolve it.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/2.0/en/isc39.html
If there is an issue with the software on the iPhone a reset or restore will generally resolve that issue.

ISync syncs old, deleted iCal entries

Hi
I deleted all my calendar entries on my phone. When I sync it iSync does not transfers the up to date calendar entries from iCal but an older "version" that includes some entries that I deleted some time ago.
Is there a cache that I have to empty? Or anything else?
Thanks for your help.

Hey zmarklow,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
To restore your calendar entries in iCal do the following:
1. Create a new calendar in iCal.
2. Click on FIle>Import at the top.
3. Choose your backup file and select import.
4. Once the calendar items are all present inside of iCal, then open BlackBerry Desktop Software.
5. Click on Device>Forget Device at the top.
6. Close down BlackBerry Desktop Software and unplug the BlackBerry via USB and plug it back in.
7. Open BlackBerry Desktop Software up and setup your calendar synchronization.
Test it a few times and you should be up and running.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

what is the best way to sort this out now?

BUT.... when iCal updated to icloud, it just brought them all back from what I can see and they are all there again
whats the best fool-proof way of sorting this?
pleeeease there, so close but yet so far.....

IOS5 and iCloud have duplicated my contacts and iCal entries. How to I fix this / only use one of them?, iOS5 and iCloud have duplicated my contacts and iCal entries. How to I fix this / only use one of them?

Since loading iOS5 and starting to sync with iCloud, I'm getting multiple contacts in my Macbook as well as on my phone. How do I get rid of one or the other? The best soultion would be to fix the error without having to delete all of the duplicates manually. This also happens with my events and reminders in iCal.

I had the same problem and many contacts amongst my 330 differant people were duplicated up to 3 times. What seemed to have happened is any one who was in your main addrees book and also in a list would be duplicated when icloud syncs.
I solved it by switching off icloud on the phone. deleting all entries in my mac address book. Checking the address book was totally empty. Then manualy deleting all the duplicates on the phone. Once I was happy everything on the phone was correct I Then turning cloud back on the phone. thats synched back all entries to the mac and no problem since.
Now when i amend/delet/add a contact it syncs acros both devices within minutes.

After iCloud upgrade i have duplicate iCal entries (iPhone is ok). Why?

After I upgraded to iCloud I now have duplicate iCal entries! My iPhone does not have duplicates which is good. In iTunes I AM NOT syncing my iCal.
Thanks

MyFord, Mirek,
I have the same problem on iMac: some iCal entries duplicated, some triplicated, and some quadruplicated...
If I change the colour of the On My Mac Calendars, right click on calendar, select Get Info, I can identify those entries, all single.
Do the same on the iCloud Calendars, and the second and third entries on the day (Month View) change colour.
So, the iCloud entries on the iMac are duplicated...
iCal on my iPhone is OK, only a single entry...
Where do I go from here...
I suspect the first thing I should do is back up On My Mac Calendars.
What next?

Backup the On My Mac calendars (in iCal, File>Export>iCal Archive) and then delete them from iCal

Deleting duplicate entries in iCal?

How do I delete duplicate entries in iCal (identical entries on the same date)?

Todd,
I suspected a more serious problem because the answer was too easy.
Thousands of duplicate entries...Is this what happened?
According to, Mac OS X 10.4: Stay away from the SyncServices folder: As if it were a swarm of bees, you should stay away from the SyncServices folder in Mac OS X 10.4. Removing or modifying anything in it—or in subfolders within it—may cause unexpected issues. (This folder is located in your Application Support folder, in your Library folder, in your Home folder.)
Deleting or modifying things in the SyncServices folder may cause unexpected results such as:
• Duplicate contacts in Address Book or appointments in iCal.
• Data loss in Address Book or iCal.
Important: Any lost or duplicate data could propagate to other devices and computers via iSync and .Mac sync. This means data could be lost on other computers.If that is your problem, I suspect that without a backup, duplicate entry deletion will at best be tedious, and at worst fraught with frustration. You may be better off starting from scratch.

Lost iCal entries following iCloud registration

I installed Lion on my iMac and on the next day registered for iCloud. Immediately all data in iCal disappeared. Calendar was empty in iCloud also. Have tried to recover data through Time Machine, but unsuccessful.

iCloud is turned on. To expand; when I registered to iCloud and went to iCal on my Mac all the entries, except for birthdays and holidays, disappeared. Also missing were the the eight of so "calendars" that I had, there only being the generic empty Calendar and Home calendars of a totally new iCal.
I am connected to iCloud and it is working; when I make an entry on my Mac it shows up in iCloud.
My question is how and why did this happen and is there any way of recovering all my entries and calendars?

Why isn't iCloud pushing iCal entries to iPhone?

I have enabled iCloud on my iPad and new iPhone. When I enter a calendar entry on my iPhone, it syncs with the iPad, but when I enter iCal entries on the iPad, they don't show up on my iPhone calendar. Anyone else experience this? Have I missed something in setup?
Thanks

Why don't you erase the iPad, then it will actually be 'yours'

ICal synch wants to delete old entries

Recently when I use BB Desktop to synch with my new MacBook, it wants to add 2, modify 482 and delete 1053. The first 2 are not a problem but I do not want to delete old iCal entries.
I've tried adjusting to synch only Future or synch between -999 and +999 days to no avail.
What work around can I use to get back to synching?
Thanks

Solved!
Go to Solution.

This helped me for this problem...
On your BlackBerry, go to the Calendar, then press the Menu button, and select Options. Do you have a settings that says "Keep Appointments" set for a specified time.
If yes, you will need to change that to forever.
Once I changed that, I did an overwrite sync of the BlackBerry (I use Missing Sync). Then normal syncing worked fine without deleting old events.

Delete multiple ical entries at one time

Somehow a couple of my birthdays managed to multiply when combining calendars. One birthday has about 100 duplicate entries. Has anyone tried ical alarmist - does it work well? Or is there another easy way to delete multiple entries at one time? Thanks

To my knowledge there is no delete all events option in calendars. You'll have to delete them one by one.

Delete an entry in ICAL

When I try to delete an entry in ICAL I get this message
"Only the calendar administrator and any delegates with permission can make changesto read-only calendars. To make changes to the calendar, contact the calendar administrator".
I am the account admin…T
ried Pref-Delegation-Manage Account Access still no luck

It was once a recurring event which I deleted (I thoughtj). Actually there are two events by the same name on the same day. One has a dark blue dot to the left of it; the other has a light blue dot to the left of it.
