IPad deleting single events over 30 days old

I just noticed tonight that my iPad has been deleting non-recurring events over 30 days old. I'm syncing over MobileMe, and all the old events remain there and in my Mac iCal calendars just fine, so the data is OK. However, syncing with MobileMe will not return the old events to my iPad's calendar.
I've tried turning off Calendars for MobileMe syncing in the Settings area, and then turning it back on to refresh/restore, but it still only brings in all old recurring events and non-recurring new events within the last 30 days.
When syncing with iTunes, there's an item in the Info tab area to force a push of the calendars on the Mac to the iPad, and an option to limit how far back you want the sync to grab the old data. I've tried that, and did successfully get the old data back onto my iPad, however, now I have multiple/multicolored Home calendars cluttering my iPad. I can selectively turn some off, but that doesn't resolve the issue, since it's a one-time event, and over the next 30 days new non-recurring events are going to be daily deleted. Additionally, since I merged the Home calendars when it asked me to decide what to do, I now have multiple Home calendars listed in iTunes which duplicates what gets copied every time if I choose to do this again. I can't find any way to clean up the iTunes bug, since it's clearly not just re-reading my iCal events, which remain OK.
Is anyone else observing this calendar behavior with their iPad? My iPhone 4's old data is all there, as it's supposed to be, so this issue may be resolved down the road with an iOS update for the iPad. I can't find any setting to assure my MobileMe syncing brings in all my old non-recurring events (which I need for on-the-go checks back on old events).
I guess I'm just looking for anyone else who can confirm their non-recurring events are disappearing after 30 days.
Thanks for listening...

On your iPad, go to settings and then Mail, Contacts, Calendars and see what you have the sync option set for under calendars. You have different options to choose from, and I would think that yours is set for 1 month. To get rid of all the duplicate calendars on the iPad, just turn off mobile me syncing, which will delete all the calendars on the iPad, and then turn it back on and you should be good to go.

Ipad not displaying events over 30 days old

I seem to have lost all previous events over 30days old on my calendar on ipad2

Hi Steven,
Have you checked your Settings > Mail, Contacts, & Calendar > on calendar menu at the bottom Select the Sync > Change it to All Events.
Hope it helps.

In iCal since update I cannot extend an event over days

After recent update, in iCal on my iMac, for a new entry I am unable to set the event duration over days. Old entries no longer show the beginning date and the end date of events which have duration over many days. What happened? On the iPhone and iPad these options are still available.

Hi Altjudi,
What update did you install recently? What version os OS X are you running?
In Calender (new iCal) You can set the view to week so you can see multiple days. Enter an event and hover your mouse at the bottom untill it changes to two arrows devided by a line. Click and hold, move mouse across the desired time period.
If this doesn't work, answer the questions so we can help you further.

IPad frame shattered only six days old

My ipad2 is only six days old, I keep the smart cover on it, and have the wrapsol screen protector on it. I noticed today that other frame area around the screen is shattered on each side of the home button, which is where I hold it when reading books on it. I am the only person who uses it, we have no children in the home, and I am very careful with this. Needless to say, I am quite sick over this. I would understand had I dropped it, but it has not been dropped. Any ideas as to what I can do about this?

Take it back to Walmart. Maybe they'll take pitty on you, but don't be surprised if they don't.
If you do wind up buying a new iPad, add AppleCare+. It costs $99 and gives you two years of actual technical support and two replacements at $49 within that two year period for damaged devices, with no questions asked.
Like Philly said though, there's nothing we can do for you here other than offer sympathy for your siutation,

Scratch on my 4 day old iPad screen

Hi guys,
I've somehow managed to get what I think is an inch long "U" shaped scratch on my 32GB iPad screen - 2 inches in from the back bezel; it may be a crack though - hard to tell. I've been incredibly careful with my new iPad (It's only 5 days old), I've been using a slip case and not even putting it down on tables without first putting something soft down for it to sit on.
Bit gutted really - Apple don't seem to sell screen protectors through Apple stores, and they had sold out of the official Apple case. Was told these things are basically scratch proof so pretty shocked to see such a deep scratch seemingly from no-where. I've had my current iPhone for about 18months with no case in my pocket with keys and coins and have nothing nearly as horrendous as this scratch on my iPad.
I've called Apple support and they told me that doesn't sound normal and have booked me into speak to a Genius this evening to check the device for defects.
Just wanted to ask if anyone else has had similar experience and if they had a resolution.
I've been having a pretty bad run of luck recently, so I thought I'd treat myself to a new toy - and it's been a fantastic device the past few days, but now worried that it's a little more fragile than people are being lead to expect, and that I'm going to pick up more damage before the device is even a month old...
Will report back after I talk to the guys at the Genius bar later tonight.

I learned my lesson, I slide my ipad only a couple inches on a wooden table and scratched the back side. If I were you I'd get a boxwave antiglare screen protector for the front. and a zaggs back protector for the back. I found this combination to be a really good way to keep your stuff protected. I really don't recommend using zaggs screen protector because its rubbery... it makes it difficult to swipe and stuff on the screen. BoxWave's is pretty smooth and really reduces on the glare/fingerprints.
Good luck!

Automatically Delete Calendar Events Older Than a Day old.

I am trying to have SharePoint automatically delete any events that are a day old. I have a vacation calendar that needs to remove any older dates and only keep up to date with the new ones. I have tried to search for the solution and cant
find anything. I don't want to filter the events it needs to be removed.

Is it getting hot only when charging?
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Why does my Calendar delete events over a year old?

My calendar deletes all events more than a year old. I am running the latest version of Mountain Lion -- 10.8.3. All events on iCloud also delete after a year. I have an iMac with 3.06 GHz Intel Core Duo and 4 GB of RAM. I've checked all my other devices, but there doesn't seem to be any settings to keep or delete data. Since I keep my appointments as a record, this has become a real problem, but I don't see any other questions like this in the Communities. Please help.

Julie,
If I try to open the app, iCal, all that shows is a circle with a line through it, indicating it's not available or even there.
You will not be able to open older applications through the Time Machine interface.
Also, can I look in Time Machine for lost data? How do I do that? My library is hidden in my user folder, so I can't find it.
Calendar data is stored in the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder. If you open the Finder>Go menu, and depress the "option" key, you will find an be able to open the hidden Library folder.
Restoring iCloud calendars from Time Machine, by Roger Wilmut describes the restoration process, but I do not recommend that you attempt this procedure unless you have proper backup, nor am I certain that it will work for restoring older entries.
Retaining older Calendar entries on iOS | iLounge Article, suggests that other user installed applications/services may interfere with the calendar retention selection.

Deleted recurring events still show up on iPad/iPhone/Macbook Calendars

Trying to view several calendars for the purpose of project management. Here is the problem step by step:
1) If I am UserA and have my calendar set up as Exchange or CalDav with FULL rights, I can add, delete or edit all events as needed. I can add recurring events and DELETE one or more occurrences of the recurring event and have THAT show up correctly on my iPad.
2) If UserB sets up his calendar and gives me read access, I can SUBSCRIBE to his calendar using normal "other / caldav" subscription settings and view it properly. No problem.
3) If UserB sets up a recurring event (lunch meeting at noon every Monday), that shows up properly on my iPad. No problem.
4) If UserB is going to be out of town or decides to cancel his lunch meeting for some other reason, he can on his own machine (Outlook, Mac Calendar, iPad with Exchange full account) delete that event. No problem for HIM.
5) On MY iPad, the subscribe calendar never shows anything different. The same recurring events continue to display even if UserB has delete one OCCURRENCE of the event. This IS a problem. My view of his calendar is now incorrect. Yeah, yeah, one meeting one day is not a problem. But multiply that by several users, multiple deletions of recurring events, and suddenly the whole shooting match is out of whack.
6) I can refresh the calendar to my heart's content, but nothing changes.
7) Here's the kicker: I can DELETE the subscribed calendar and RESUBSCRIBE to it. This forces a completely fresh download to my iPad. Doesn't change a thing. The same recurring events still override ANY deletions that the user made to individual instances of the events.
In looking at the raw ICS file which I can download via a web browser, an entry might look like this:

You can easily see that the EXDATE shows a deletion for 2013-02-25 as well as other dates. Doesn't matter. They STILL show up on the iPad and in the Mac OSX Calendar.
I consider this a bug. I hope an Apple employee sees and responds to this. I would welcome any thoughts, workarounds or suggestions that could help with this.
Yes, I can tell users to only put INDIVIDUAL events on their calendar. But, let's face it. It's easier to put a recurring event and delete one or two instead of putting 50 recurring events for the whole year.
And, of course, Outlook displays things properly as do similar CalDav clients.

Exact same issue here. Individual events deleted from a recurring appointment continue to show up in Calendar (OS X 10.8.2). Same events do not show up on calendar if viewed via outlook from my desk PC or view outlook web app from anywhere.
Clearly a bug.

HT201317 My phone was stolen and I lost all my photos. Is there any way I can get them back through iCloud as there were lots over 30 days old?

My iPhone was stolen and I have lost all my photos as some were over 30 days old. Is there anyway I can get these back as they were on iCloud originally but i didn't put them onto my pc! :o( please can somebody help me get these back.

Unfortunately iCloud only stores photos for 30 days, to give all your devices a chance to download them. After this period they are deleted from Photo Stream and can not be retrieved.

I had an iPhone 4 and recently upgraded to iphone5 now iCloud will not back up new phone. Under iCloud it shows 2 iPhones and my iPad. Is it trying to write new phone over the old one? What should I do? I a, afraid I might lose everything messing with

I see. If you go to Settings>General>About>Name, that is the current name of your phone. The backup bearing that name should be the more recent one, and therefore the one you want to keep. I would delete the other one (presumably the one set up by Best Buy under your real name, assuming you changed it later), then see if that gives you enough space to back up again.
If it still reporting insufficient storage, use this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847 to try to determine what's taking up all your room. In them meantime, you can perform a manual backup on your computer so your have a current one while you're troubleshooting this. To do so, connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Back Up.

My calendar keeps deleting new events and if I make a change to an old event it keeps reverting it back to its original time. How do it stop this from happening?

How do you update it? Basically what has happened my password was disabled for "security reasons" on sunday (21/10/12), so i tried to reset it, but for some reason i couldnt get into my old email (probably because i havent used it for 2 years), so i read on here i could swap it to a new email that i currently use (which is what i have done) ive swapped everythin over to it (facetime, iCloud etc) but keeps coming up with old email and asking for password

I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days old on my iMac running Snow Leopard.However, all old emails that I have not deleted are showing up on my macbook pro running the next OS (Lion?). How do I get all my old emails back on my iMac?

I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days on my iMac running Snow Leopard. However, on my MacBook Pro I can see all old mail that I have not deleted. It is running the next operating system (Lion?). Does anyone know how I can get all my old mail back on my iMac. It is my primary computer and I need some of those old messages. I have tried to rebuild the mailbox but it has not done anything.

I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail. The mailbox behavior says: Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked) store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.
