IOS6: calendar displays Exchange-Synced events in gray

Hi,
we have a problem with our Active-Sync implementation (Exchange-Sync) in that events after sync are displayed with a gray color and dashed borders. After a field is edited the event is displayed in the originally expected color. This only happens on devices running iOS 6.
The sync-response from the server iOS 6 receives is the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AirSync:Sync xmlns:AirSync="AirSync" xmlns:POOMCONTACTS="POOMCONTACTS" xmlns:POOMMAIL="POOMMAIL" xmlns:AirNotify="AirNotify" xmlns:POOMCAL="POOMCAL" xmlns:Move="Move" xmlns:ItemEstimate="ItemEstimate" xmlns:FolderHierarchy="FolderHierarchy" xmlns:MeetingResponse="MeetingResponse" xmlns:POOMTASKS="POOMTASKS" xmlns:ResolveRecipients="ResolveRecipients" xmlns:ValidateCert="ValidateCert" xmlns:POOMCONTACTS2="POOMCONTACTS2" xmlns:Ping="Ping" xmlns:Provision="Provision" xmlns:Search="Search" xmlns:Gal="Gal" xmlns:AirSyncBase="AirSyncBase" xmlns:Settings="Settings" xmlns:DocumentLibrary="DocumentLibrary" xmlns:ItemOperations="ItemOperations" xmlns:ComposeMail="ComposeMail" xmlns:POOMMAIL2="POOMMAIL2" xmlns:Notes="Notes">

How should we change our implementation of the Exchange-Sync service so that iOS 6 displays our events correctly again?

LudwigNeer,
I am having the same issue. How or where did you find this above sync-response?
I also noticed that most but not all appointments/meetings are showing up on the iPad. Have you expirienced this issue as well?

Icloud calendar does not sync events

Can't seem to find any information on why Calendar does not sync with iCloud. I get the message, "Loading more events..." but no events ever show up. Not sure how to proceed to get the syncing working.

Try force-closing the calendar app on your phone: double-tap the home button, locate Calendar in the list, swipe up on the image above the app icon to close it, tap the home button again. Now reset the phone by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo and release. Test your calendar again. Any change?

After installing IOS6 calendars will not sync - either from pc or exchange - i've tried restore and deleting sync through preference tab on itunes but nothings working

Please help!

Thank you very much for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this did not work. I am still looking for a solution to this problem.
I should also note that my iPhone states I have 587 songs. There are many, many blank spots in my library, duplictaes, and greyed out songs. I am attached some pictures.

Since iOS 6, my calendar app shows many events as gray with a dashed line around them. dont mind the lines, but i want my color coding back so i can distinguish between multiple calendars.

How can I make my ipad show the designated calendar color for events? Have tried using ms exchange and gmail...they look identical. It seems to happen to items I add from my computer or android phone, but not events added from ipad.

Somehow my settings and calendars have gown complicated...I have Microsoft Exchange, Google, AND gmail. What ended up working was switching all of them off, shutting down my ipad, restarting my ipad, and then choosing one of them to switch back on. Now all the colors are correct. Thank you, emdak.

Icloud calendar display of events on pc

Some of the events on the calendar display with the event printed in a bar of color across the square of that day. Other events display with only a dot of color after the event's name. The first option is better because it makes the event stand out more. How do I get all events to display with a bar?

You can change the calendar color from Red to something else, but the events will all be the same color

Calendar display issues for "All Day Events" coming from Exchange Server

My problem is with the display of All Day events. I'm running a 3gs, Outlook 2007 on winxp, connected to a Exchange 2007 server. When an all day event is put in for multiple days the phone calendar displays it as starting at midnight going to midnight, and sometimes wont display the event on the list view on the phone. I can correct the display by editing it on the phone and making it all day there, but then the category I assigned the event in outlook goes away in outlook. All day single day events work just fine. Any suggestions?

Sort of same issue:
All day events scheduled from Entourage display incorrectly on iPhone/iPad as non-all-day events (which block out entire day/multiple days)
All day events scheduled from iPhone/iPad show up correctly in Entourage as all-day events, but incorrectly with an *extra day* added.

Ios6 calendar sync with exchange server

My work calendar doesn't sync anymore with my iPad any ideas to correct?

I have the exact problem. Upgraded iPad 2 and iPod touch 4th gen to iOS 6 at same time. IPad reconnected to exchange server w/o major problems. iPod lost contacts, calendar, and exchange e-mail. Spent 5 hours on phone over past two nights with apple support w/o any resolution. Support was very nice and supportive, but in the end did nothing to help. He kept blaming my company's exchange server settings claiming that I did not have all the information set correctly. We copied the settings EXACTLY from IPAD to iPod without success. I was then able to set up my exchange account on wife's iPod touch w/o any problems. My calendar, contacts, email all synched onto her iPod fine . He had little to say about my Icompany's IT settings, and finally admitted he had no idea how to help. It is not you, it is IOS 6. Thanks Apple for a shiny paperweight that no longer can provide me with calendar, e-mail, or contacts . I wish my only complaint with iOS 6 was the map!
This is like ownging a Ford for two years, and then, aftrer changing the oil, the car starts, but the wheels no longer will turn.

Razr Maxx Calendar will not sync with Exchange Calendar

My Thunderbolt synced fine....just switched to the Razr Maxx Friday and the Calendar will not sync with my Exchange Calendar. Email and contacts are syncing fine.

Gapam wrote:
I guess I'm screwed. My Razr HD calendar won't sync with Google - apparently all my events were on the phone calendar and not Googe calendar. After following prior posts, I cleared the data on my phone's calendar - now my events are gone and I don't know when my next appointments are. Any way to retrieve that data? Any way to sync the two calendars - or to make sure the darn appointments are placed on the Google calendar and not the stupid phone calendar?
You have to select the Google/Gmail account as the location where to save the event. In the screen where you are adding the info to create the event there is a spot for choosing which calendar to save it to. This is where you pick the Gmail calendar.

ICal not displaying Exchange calendar form delegate

I have a very strange problem. I use iCal with Exchange 2007 and do have several delegates as read-only in their calendar. It works extremely well, except for one of them which can't be displayed. I got the following message : iCal can’t refresh the account “Manuel Moutoy”.
When I log on to a PC with outlook, I can perfectly access this calendar which makes me think the problems lies in iCal. I tried removing the user and re-adding him several times, but that did not change anything.
Can anyone help?
Thanks, Jean-Francois.

Anyone else seeing repeated crashing with iCal connected up with delegate accounts?
I have successfully gotten 6 delegate accounts showing up properly in the main iCal window. Here is what worked for me when an account did not appear.
Note: This will delete all local calendar data and require you reconfigure your accounts and delegates. In other words, this assumes ONLY server-based / Exchange calendars used in iCal.
1. Got to preferences
2. Deleted the account from the Delegate tab
3. Close iCal
4. Navigate to ~/Library/Calendars and delete all files/folders there
5. Relaunch iCal and reconfigure primary Exchange account
6 Re-add delegates into iCal, waiting for each calendar to full sync down to local cache before adding additional calendars
Hope this helps!

Calendar will not sync with Exchange server or most Google Calendars

Hi,
I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
Thanks!

Hello whereizben,
I see you have posted same post in another thread. I have already replied to that posting with a solution. Please see the following link for my reply:

Calendar can't save event to exchange server

Since moving to Yosemite I've been getting this error message with calendar - "Calendar can't save event "{event name}" to the Exchange server."
I'm unable to find any fix, including turning on/off time zone support. I've also re-established the exchange account more than once - each time the error eventually comes back (with a different calendar event).
Here's a link to a discussion on this subject, however, it was created under OS X Mountain Lion. I never encountered this issue prior to Yosemite. Thus, I created a new discussion here under OS X Yosemite.
Re: Calendar - Exchange sync issue
Has anyone created a workaround yet?

I had this issue too. Since all my data was present on the exchange server, I decided for the "delete" approach. First i quit the calendar app, then I went into library/calendars. There i deleted all files including Calendar cache and several folders ending on .exhange and .calendar. After a reboot i reconfigured my exchange account and everything seems to work fine now.

When syncing multiple Google calendars to iPad, switching event to different calendar on iPad creates a duplicate in Google. Ideas?

When syncing multiple Google calendars to iPad, switching event to different Google sub-calendar using iPad creates a duplicate in Google.
Using Google account with the Exchange setup on an iPad mini. iOS up to date. I have a secondary calendar in my Google account for some appointments, and when I create the event on the iPad and it defaults to my main Google calendar, changing the event to the secondary calendar caused the following:
1) at first, the event totally disappeared from my iPad. Scary! Reappeared when I went into Gcal on the web, opened the event to edit, and re-saved. Phew.
2) Failing to re-create error #1, I switched a new event from primary to secondary calendar, and it then appears correct on iPad, but is duplicated on the web. The duplicate remains even after deleting the changed event on iPad, refreshing Gcal, etc.
Just curious if anyone else is having this problem or has discovered a workaround or fix.

When you open the Calendar app, tap the button at the top-left corner (Calendars). That should reveal all the calendars you have available, and you can select/ un-select any or all of them.
If you don't see your 2nd GMail calendar listed, go into Settings/ Mail/ (account name) and make sure you've turned the calendar ON for this account.

IPhone 5S/IPad Air not syncing calendars (facebook, exchange, iCloud etc)

I have an iPhone 5S and an iPad Air. Both with iOS 8.1.
Recently I noticed that since the latest updates calendar activities are not syncronized as they should. On My iPhone all my events from the fb calendar are gone, even though the phone marks them as being shown.
iCloud calendars are not synced, missing events from both an exchange server and also from apples own iCloud.
When comparing the iPad and the iPhone it is not the same events that are missing. The phone missing the most activities while the iPad have retained more activities.
Not being able to rely on the phone for my calendars is a major problem for me since I am rarely at my computer(iMac running Yosemite, that sync everything just perfectly).
I have removed accounts anre resynced everything to no avail.
And I think that these issues began with the release of iOS 8.1.

Mavericks Calendar Exchange sync issue

I'm running OS X Mavericks and I'm having trouble syncing my calendar via Exchange. I keep getting an error message "Calendar can't connect to the account "my email account"". What is strange is that my emails are working fine. I have tried numerous times to re-enter my password but it's not working.
Appreciate your help.

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock all your user files, reset their ownership, and remove their access-control lists. If you've set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Back up all data.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Exchange Calendar Won't Sync, Email & Contacts Sync Fine

I have a new 3GS and I set it up on my company Exchange server. Mail syncs fine. Contacts sync fine. My Calendar, however, won't sync to the phone at all. Not one single event. I've turned sync off and then back on, no luck. I've reset the phone, no joy. I've cleaned up all my old recurring appointments thinking maybe that would be the fix, nope. So far nothing I have tried will get the Calendar items to sync. What would allow the mail and contacts to sync just fine but prevent the calendar from working? Thanks!

I finally resolved this issue. I opened the calendar in outlook on my PC. I went to View>Current View>Categories. I expanded the list (click on the little "+" sign to expand) and then deleted EVERY entry. Some were current, but most were expired, and some went back to 2007. As soon as I deleted all of these entries, that basically wiped my Exchange calendar clean. There had to have been some corrupt entries in their that were preventing calendar sync, because once I cleared out all the entries, I sent myself a meeting request and it showed up instantly on the iPhone. All is right in the world again. Hope this helps others with the same problem.
