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.

ITunes only shows old deleted iCal calendars

My iTunes only shows old deleted iCal calendars. How do I get it and iCal resynced?

That was useful help. I thought iSync was cremated 2 years ago with the advent of Tiger and was only used to sync phones and pdas. Further, I have searched 'elsewhere' and have not found any other solutions.

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.

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.

If there is an issue with the software on the iPhone a reset or restore will generally resolve that issue.

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.

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>

ITunes deleted all my iCal entries on syncing

Turned on syncing for iCal and with no prompting or nag asking "Do you really want to do this?" it promptly wiped out all my iCal entries on my iPhone.
How exactly is this user-friendly?????
What happened to the concept of do no harm?
Since when did sync mean delete?
<Edited by Moderator>

Did you have any entries in iCal on your Mac? If so, you would have been prompted to Merge the data, unless you have very few calendar entries - the default is a prompt is more than 5% of the data will be changed. But, if iCal was empty, events on the iPhone are simply deleted. Even one event would have been enough. Next time, you know.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Deleting years of old iCal entries

I'd like to get MacBook to delete all iCal entries more than 200 days old, to free up space in both my hard drive and my iPhone. This is probably simple, but I can't find anywhere to do it.
I've already been into iCal preferences and entered that I only want the last 200 days, but it hasn't worked - the entries are still there!

I tried the Automator thing too ... not .. as you say above .. locks the system .. nothing happens and things freeze up .... sigh .... well .. all that being said, I have to say I am enjoying MAC since the switch from PC, I am just finding some of the problems REALLY basic ... like ridiculous oversights ... Can anyone answer this one:?
When I first import a photo, the thumbnails work fine when using scrolling through ... though, if I modify the photo in anyway or change the size, the thumbnail in icon view works well, but if I want to use the scroll feature where they are all displayed like dominos on the top window area, any changed photo is now pixely and blurred. Any answers there? Also ... I am wanting to take all my folders in PC and import them to iPhoto, but am wondering if when I change the size of a photo to save space, does iPhoto keep them in the large size in the /originals/ folder? or can I pull them from that folder and resize them modifying the original? Then of course, I have my thumbnail problem as a result .... (Sorry, realize it's a different thread, but, I was here when I thought of it)

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.
;~)

I want to cut and paste iCal entries on iPad. Have seen a number of questions raised but no definitive answer - is it possible or not? (I use Bento but that doesn't sync with ICal now so can use that solution)

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

ICal entries vanish after sync with GroupCal 2.5 Beta

I was wondering if anyone else may have this problem or maybe even a solution. I tried syncing iCal (2.0.2) with my work's exchange server (2003) using Groupcal 2.5 Beta. Everything went really well, all my iCal entries appeared in Exchange, however when the data was ready to go back into iCal an error popped up:
iCal was unable to load the calendar. The file might be corrupted or temporarily unreadable...
I've asked the software developers if there's anything I can do, but they've been giving me the silent treatment. I realise this is a beta and I may be stuck with this problem until version 3.0 comes out, but I'd like to see if anyone has had the Beta working and how they set it up...
Cheers.

I'd like to second your request to Apple. iCal 2.0.3 is quite close already: it can receive and send meeting requests to Exchange clients. One crucial thing missing is support for the https protocol. That would allow us to subscribe to Exchange calendars via the https://your.company.com/exchange/user.name/calendar/ url (supposing the OWA calendar format is compatible with iCal, which is not very likely).

Calendar Sync Issue With repeating entry deletions Notes 8.5 to BB

I have an issue where when synchronizing may calendar with Lotus Notes version 8.5, the Blackberry will delete repeating entries. Specifically, if I load the Blackberry with all my calendar entries from Notes and then in one entry in my Notes calendar a "single" occurance of a meeting gets canceled .. the next time I sync with the Blackberry it deletes "all" occurances of that meeting from the BB. The entries remain correct on Lotus Notes. The only way I can seem to fix that is to reset sync setting and reload the calendar to the BB all over again, and then this occurs again .... this happens with both V5 and V6 of the BB Desktop Software. Has anyone seen this and is there a fix ?

Lost ical entries after sync.

After I performed a sync the other day all my new appointments that I had imputed into my iphone were erased. There is no record of them on the phone or on my mac. I'm really distressed because I lost my ENTIRE work schedule. Can any one tell me how to fix this? Can I recover the data? Or can I at least prevent this from happening again?
Thanks.

This has happened to both me and my wife. We both have iPhone 3g; I have a PowerBook G4 and she has a MacBook Pro, both running OS 10.4.11. When entries are made to the iPhone calendar, they sometimes disappear upon syncing to Mac iCal. Very frustrating. Any help out there? Makes me want to go back to my Palm. At least that would warn if there were appointments that had been modified in both locations, and it NEVER erased entries.
