KEEP events older than 1 month

I fear I may be one of the more unusual iCal/iSync users in that I need to retain ALL prior events in my calendar when syncing with my Sony Ericsson W850i. I appear to only have 4 options in iSync - none of which allow me to keep events older than 1 month. Does anyone have a workaround for this? ...or am I just being stupid?

Thanks for your response Julian - it might not be the answer I wanted but I appreciate your time and information. My life isn't that exciting so it actually isn't a huge amount of data that needs syncing - there are just key dates that I sometimes need to have handy when I'm out and about. I've been syncing the lot with Sony Ericsson's latest PC Suite which is surprisingly quite good but sadly isn't available for Mac (I am brand spanking new to the world of the Mac and mostly enjoying it enormously !!). I think what I was hoping is that someone would have one of those cheeky Terminal commands that 'simply' amends that specific criteria... ah well. Perhaps I can ask another quick one - if I do sync with iSync I take it that iCal will retain all my older events regardless of what gets synced to the mobile?

Calendar events older than a month have disappeared!

I use the calendar on my iPhone and iPad, also synced with my husbands phone) for all our business appointments. In searching for a past appointment the other day, I suddenly discovered that any appointment or event created more than 4 weeks ago has disappeared, from all devices! This is a major headache for us as we rely on using previous events to help book future appointments etc!
Is this normal? Are events only stored for a period of time? I had assumed they would stay until someone deleted them!
Really grateful for any help as may have to stop using this feature if it doesn't store events!
Thanks

The events should come back. Try refreshing the calendar. Launch the calendar app and tap the calendar button at the bottom. Pull down on the window that opens to refresh the events.

Hello, My iCal don't synchronize older events than two or three month ago. How can I do to synchronize all my schedule? In iTunes it's all right in Calendars. I don't put a cross in "synchronize event older than ....... days". Thanks for answer.

Just saw your post. Better late than never. You may want to
consider GameBrix.com, where you can create Flash based, casual
games using your web browser. No downloads are required. You can
create a game from scratch using a library of images, sounds and
game mechanics. You can also upload your own. The online script
editor will allow you to view and edit the ActionScripts associated
with each game mechanic. In short, a great way to ramp up on game
design and build your own game without investing a lot of $
upfront.
BTW I am associated with GameBrix so any feedback is
appreciated.

Firefox is slowly deleted my browser history older than 6 months. How do I keep history forever?

I just noticed that my browser history older than 6 months is slowly being deleted day by day. How do I prevent this from happening? This has only started happening recently. I have my settings as "Remember history". I want to keep all my history forever. Are there any configurations I can make to achieve this?
Thanks for your time.

Firefox automatically calculates how many pages to keep without affecting performance and saves that value in the transient_max_pages pref.
You can create a max_pages pref to override that current maximum, but it is better to leave those prefs at their default.
You can see the current value via the read-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_max_pages on the about:config page.

How can I set up a rule to delete all messages older than 6 months left in Apple Mail's main inbox?

How can I set up a rule to delete all messages older than 6 months left in Apple Mail's main inbox?
I have created other rules to move some of my daily messages into specific folders and I don't wish to auto-delete those.
Just the general stuff that keeps piling up in my me.com main email box. Mail such as FB announcements and other low priority stuff I want to look at before deleting but don't want to keep longer than a week or month.
TIA

Thanks, but I am looking for a more automated solution than hand marking emails as junk. I might as well move them to the trash myself.
Again, these are emails I want to receive and quickly read, but not keep longer than a week or month or so. By setting a rule to toss any older than 30 days back then my Mail program (and thus my hard drive) won't be wasting so much space. For example, currently I have over 6000 read messages, with their attachments, in my main email box. I'd rather not have to physically attend to sorting the one I don't want out.
The one I do keep for other reasons get moved into other folders.
It seems this should be possible.

How to sync calendar data older than 1 month?

How to sync data from calendar older than 1 month? (from computer to phone) Impossible to get my data from beginning of november on calendar on Iphone. What did I miss?

If you are syncing calendar events direct with Outlook via the iTunes sync process, there is a setting for this under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes below the sync calendars section.

When creating a photo book, how can one import photos older than 12 months?

I am trying to create a photo book (I'm using iPhoto 11). For my project, I'm trying to access photos older than 12 months, but that is not an option in the photo library at the right of the screen.
I have tried to click and drag the old photos into my project event. They show up fine in "photos" but do not show up in the photo library!
I have also found that photos downloaded from a CD do not show up in the photo library either.
Anyone have any thoughts?

You can not - they are soreted by date
-- the only solution I have seen is to put them in an album sorted the way you and and then use the batch cnage command to redate them with a small invrement between so a data sort matches your desired sort -- I personally do not want to redate a bunch of my photos nor do i want to have to go through and un-re- date a bunch
suggest a change to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

Calendar sync problem - eliminates events older than 2 weeks

I sync my blackberry to my Mac using Blackberry Desktop manager. It works fine except that it erases all events older than 2 weeks old......this is not what i want it to do. I have adjusted the desktop manager to sync "all events" but it continues to erase older events.
What must I adjust to allow sync of all events (old, current and future). I keep older events for various purposes including to remind me of past events and information.
Help.

try going to blackberry calendar options and set calendar data duration for "forever".. lot of records to sync, but you keep them.

How to import photos older than 18 months from ipad

How do I import Photos from my ipad to my computer that are older than 18 months old?

Hi Terence,
thanks for your reply.
i've scrolled, oh i've scrolled, I've gone through every individual picture that is displayed in the photos option, and through the events option and while it's true there are photos past 18 months, there are lots of photos that used to be in my iPhoto library that are now missing in action.
I also tried the Smart Albums, thanks for the suggestion, and nothing came up that was older than 2009. I definitely have photos older than that and desperately need them. Thoughts?

Deleting backups older than a month

Hi all,
I'm trying to delete backups that are older than a month. I've performed the following steps.
1. Click on time machine
2. Navigate to a month ago
3. Navigate to "Macintosh HD" and select all items
4. Click on the gears the "Delete all backups .."
This delete all backups, even my current ones. How can I delete just "old" versions from a snapshot in time (say x) back to the beginning of backups and keep everything with time > x?
Thanks,
Todd

+That won't screw up the database will it?+
Probably. Time Machine uses hard links to keep track of its previously backed up files. You can read how Time Machine uses hard links in this Ars Technica review.
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/14
To make sure you keep the hard links intact launch the Time Machine browser from the dock. Click on your hard drive in the sidebar. Don't select any folders or files in the window. Use the white ladder lines on the right to navigate to the backup you wish to delete. Click on the button with the gear and select Delete Backup.

HT2376 How do i retrieve a lost key code for Pro if it is older than 18 months ? which is the longest you can look at on the orders history page.

I Upgraded to quicktime pro years ago on my pc , then when i got a mac i purchased another copy for mac. I ve now gone back to pc and want to retrieve my old key code. The check your order history only goes back 18 months and i think i got mine about 4 years ago . Any advice ? or do i need to buy another copy . Cheers

Regardless of what any of us think, the fact is that Apple no longer provides lookup of orders older than 18 months. Why they chose this none of us here can say, but that's what they have decided. So it's no longer possible to look up a QuickTime key purchased more than 18 months ago. If the user failed to keep a copy of the email or otherwise record the key, as Apple themselves advise, then a new QT Pro key will be required.
Regards.

Calendar search not finding calendar events older than a year.

Calendar search cannot find events older than a year.
neither does spotlight search.
iphone 4s 16GB ios version 7.1.2
ipad 32GB with retina (purchased on 2012) ios version 7.1.2
Does anybody has the same issue?
Calendar events over one year old are not found when searched on iOS. Neither on the iPhone nor the iPad. Although they are found on a mac running mavericks calendar app.
All events are displayed when going directly to the month and viewing all the events of each day, but she search feature, the one accessed through the little magnifier, simply cannot find any event older than a year.
I have multiple events in my calendar and I tested them and the last I can find is within 365 days of today. after that events cannot be found.
steps to reproduce:
1. go into the calendar app on the iPhone and add an event but use a date date 13 months older than the current date. Save the event.
2. verify the even is created by looking at the day of the event
3. on the top right corner of the calendar app select the magnifying glass and try to search the event by typing any word you used on the title of the event just created
4. search result will display No Results
5. exit the calendar and access spotlight search on the home screen by using the "pull down" gesture from an area outside of the dock, including the top row of app icons. Type any word you used on the title of the event just created
6. search result will not display the event
Thanks

this has already been answered.
please ignore my question.

ICal server not sending events older than 10 days

Have just discovered an issue with our iCal Server that I hope someone can help me resolve. It seems that sometime in the last few days, or past week. the iCal Server (running on a Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 setup) has stopped sending out any events older than 10 or so days for 6 of the 7 calendar calDAV accounts that we all subscribe too. All future events on each calendar appear to be visible. The situation is consistent across of all of our Desktop's, MacBook Pro's and iPhone's so it is not localized to any single machine. It is also consistent when I subscribed through a third party calnedar application (BusyCal).
I have gone into the ~/Library/CalendarServer/Documents and although I could not access the folders directly, I did copy the folder and its contents to another hard drive where I was able to view what was inside. It appears that all of the individual event .ics files for each account are in their respective subfolders, but they are not being served out to the subscribers.
Any ideas on how to get these older events to become visible again would be very much appreciated. I am not very well versed on this type of thing and am learning on the fly.
Shawn

I'm having this same issue and I'm really ticked off.
When I upgraded today, I received a message saying that because I had so many events in the past that it would take longer to upgrade everything. It said that all my current and future events had been updated, but the past events would be available in 1 hour. Well, it's been a lot of 1 hours since then and nothing. All my events have been deleted from my MacPro, MacBook Pros, and iPhone. I'm holding out hope for them to reappear in the morning.
I know this isn't part of this thread, but I thought I'd throw it out anyway. Why are my subscribed calendars NOT visible online. Apple made an announcement in the past celebrating the ability to view subscribed calendars online when they once could not. Now with a new ADVANCEMENT, we've regressed and I cannot view subscribed calendars online. I hate to break it to Apple, but I use these subscribed calendars in my scheduling and planning, too. I still need to see them online just as I do on my computer and phone. So with all the updating and wonderful features, the lack of this one makes MobileMe online calendars useless to me and others.
One step forward, two steps back.

Why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days?

why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days? I really do not understand why if iCal can sync all events, even the very old, the spotlight will not be able to search on events older than 365 days; why? is absurd; let's say I want to search for a person contained in an old appointment: iCal in your Mac with a few key words, I find it right away, but this important feature on the iPhone is locked; we have in our pockets phones are very sophisticated, but it does not manage to make things really trivial.

Why is my macbook DVD player no longer playing commercial DVD's that it used to play perfectly? It reads the disc, but then says not permitted when I hit play. It is much older than 12 months warantee so I hope there is an easy fix?

The macbook reads a disc, and opens up DVD player but then says not permitted when I hit play, or any other button. Sometimes the initial music plays, but the screen remains black and then it all stops. These are shop bought DVD's that have previously worked on here, and work in DVD players, but have suddenly stopped. The computer is much older than the12 months warantee so I hope there is an easy fix? Thankyou!

Three things you can try:
1. Clean the superdrive with a proprietory CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.
2. Perform an SMC reset:
