Losing old calendar items

When I last hot-synced in June, all my calendar items older than 1 year were deleted from my Palm. I want them back. They are on my Outlook calendar. I tried syncing with neither overwriting the other, but that didn't work. Any help?

I am sorry but I do not understand the question. There is no 'info tab' under my Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences on the iPhone. Just the 3 preference options that I described. Nor is there an Info tab anywhere in iCal on my Mac or indeed anything else allowing syncing calendars within a specified timescale. When I stood next to my colleague earlier today, under his preferences on the iPhone he DID have an extra preference, with options to choose a period of time. It was this that made me thing I needed to update the software to 4.0.2 which I have done.

Can you archive old calendar items in Entourage so you don't run out of space on your Blackberry?

Hi everyone,
I have a Sprint Pearl 8130 and I am syncing with PocketMac to Entourage 2004 on an iBook G4 running OS 10.3.
Most of my syncing issues are minor (for some reason, in contacts, work and home email addresses switch fields, but I can live with that) and I don't have too many complaints about PocketMac for now....
My question is - Does anyone know how to archive old calendar items so that my Blackberry doesn't run out of space? I have calendar items going back to the beginning of 2008. I don't need past calendar items on my Blackberry, except for reoccurring items, like birthdays and such, and maybe a month's worth of old appointments just for reference. My Blackberry has run out of space a couple of times and when it deletes the appointments from my Blackberry, syncing wants to either delete from the Mac or restore to the Blackberry. I know you can do this with a Palm and their Palm software, since I used to have one and I was able to archive items older than a week. Then you would be able to access them in a separate archive profile.
I have searched everywhere and the closest thing I can find is to purchase Missing Sync and set to match my sync date range. https://support.markspace.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=327. But that doesn't really solve my issue of running out of space on my Blackberry. The other thing that I could think of is to export the calendar items into a .rge file, then delete the calendar items from there, sync, and have PocketMac remove items from my Blackberry, but it would be a pain to easily access old calendar items.
I appreciate any thoughts, ideas and especially solutions!

I have the exact opposite issue you mentioned
my client wants his archived calender items to be synched to his 8830 world wide ed.
he is running RIM software (DesktopManager) v 6.4
BES 2007
current issue is that his archived old calendars are not synchronizing to his handheld; we tried to force his PC to synch those items manually through cable, which didn't help, since our BES policy force waireless synch policy to the device and wireless synch never can see the archived items files
I think if you can set the option on your device so it turns on the calendar wireless synch, and also make sure MAC does not select archive to synch
Calendar > Options > General settings or /Wireless synch set to ON;
if you running BES set Calendar Wireless synch off

Issues with old calendar items after migration from SBS2008R1 to Windows 2012R2+Exchange 2013

Hello,
After migrating a customer from Windows Small Business Server 2008 R1 to Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (DC) and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 & Exchange 2013 there are a few issue regarding
the GAL and old migrated calender items that we are unable to resolve:
Old calender items which were Exported to PST when the Server 2008 R1 environment was still live were imported to the new mailbox of the user, located on the Exchange 2013 mail database. This
seemed to be working just fine.
The problems arise when a user tries to edit or re-send an old calender item. There actually are 2 problems:
1. When resending an old calender item, OLD GAL entries are used (even when re-entering the contact details) and the emails are send to nobody and you get the mail back from postmaster
2. When updating an old calender item you get an error that you do not have permissions, probably because you are NOT the 'old' Exchange user.
Thanks in advance!

Did you use Exmerge or similar to export?
You may have an issue like that explained here.

Delete old calendar items on iCloud

Hello,
we are using the calendar on iPad Mini synchronizing the entries with iCloud. We can deactivate old calendar items but this doesn't delete them. How can we delete old entries from the calendar (e.g. older than 3 months) and therefore, also delete them from the iCloud storage?
Kind regards,
Mike

On the next sync, you can choose to replace all events on the iphone.
This option is found at the bottom of the info tab in itunes.
Befor you use this, make sure that any events on the iphone have ben moved to the computer.
Hope this helps.

8900 deletes old calendar items on wired sync

I have an 8900 that I wire sync to Outlook 2003 on my PC. Have calendar dates back to 2000. It will sync but alwasy wants to delete things in 2000 and now 2001. So I have to fish them out of the deleted items in Outlook and put them back. Memory seems to be fine on the BB and settings are "forever" and "two way sync." Any thoughts?

You know, something tells me in the back of my head that I've read something of a ten year past event limit, but I can't lay my finger on it just now.
Meanwhile, there's this... Article ID: KB18694 Calendar items occurring in the past are being deleted from the calendar application on the computer
Not much help now.
Let me ask, do you archive these events in Outlook? Why do you want to keep all that on your BlackBerry (not that it matters, just curious, when you have other "better" options, than on the device itself).

Delete old calendar items

I have the iPhone 1.1.2 connected to Outlook 2007 thru iTunes 7.5 , running on Vista (Bad, I know). I already downloaded 3 bug fixes from Microsoft that made iTunes finally sync properly on my Sony VAIO... There is a setting on iTunes that says: DO NOT SYNC EVENTS OLDER THAN X. I selected 5 days, yet I can still see events from 3 weeks ago... any way to delete those old events? if not eventually they will consume memory that is much needed for songs. Any setting I am missing either on iTunes or the iPhone settings menu?

On the next sync, you can choose to replace all events on the iphone.
This option is found at the bottom of the info tab in itunes.
Befor you use this, make sure that any events on the iphone have ben moved to the computer.
Hope this helps.

Archiving Calendar items - Outlook

Hello,
Very frustrated here, and hoping the community can help me. I have Outlook 2011 on my Macbook Air on Mavericks (not that the OS matters). I'm trying to clean up space on my Exchange (work) account, as it's nearly full. Most of the space is being used from old calendar items with attachments.
How do I archive PARTS of my calendar? I don't want to archive everything, just everything prior to Dec 2013. Is it possible? I can't find a solution anywhere.
Much appreciated,

I am running Outlook 2003 and cannot sync my new 5G IPOD. I've tried archiving all but future appointments but it still runs briefly then says it can't copy the Outlook calendar.
I also tried to export a .csv file from Outlook directly to the IPOD in disk mode but that didn't work either. Apple documentation says we need to use a .vcs or .ics file. Outlook does not support those formats.

Calendar items get deleted after computer restart

Hi, I keep having this problem of my calendar items getting deleted/cleared after I restart my computer. Basically, I sync my handheld on two computers, one is work PC and the other my home PC. Changes are done on both PCs. I modify items on my work PC then sync with the handheld. When I get home, mostly during weekends, I also sync my handheld with my home PC. No modifications are done on the handheld. These past few days, I just noticed my calendar items in the Palm Desktop that the items I added/modified a day ago is no longer there. I have already lost a couple of appointments because of this. Please help.

With Palm desktop 6.2 there is an issue with losing data but it is mostly seen on Vista systems. This issue has been escalated to Palm Engineering.
When you shutdown your PC, do you close Palm desktop or leave it open? We have seen leaving Palm desktop open, when the PC is shut down, to cause data loss. Another cause of data loss can happen by having Palm desktop open when a Windows update occurs. If you are not using Palm desktop, close it.
Here is a procedure for recovering the data.
You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. Using Palm Desktop version 6.2 the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak. For 6.2, the files are located in the username folder in PalmOSdesktop in my documents.
The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in Palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=26674
Here is another link regarding data loss;
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=39503
The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.
Here is a link for other options for backing up your data;
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28751
Here is a procedure for backing up your data for disaster recovery, like this situation.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

ITunes no longer able to sync Calendar items and Bookmarks on iPhone.

Things have been going great with syncing my iPhone through iTunes on my 24" intel iMac, until yesterday (3/9/08). I haven't changed anything in the last couple of days. I always download and install the latest iPhone, iMac, iTunes updates the same day they come out. So it's been about a week since those last updates, and things synced fine until just yesterday. I create and reschedule A LOT of calendar items on my iPhone, and create a fair amount of bookmarks as well.
Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Wayne

Well, it's been over a week now, and still no real answers on how to fix this syncing issue. Does anyone know how to revert my iPhone to the previous version of its software? Things worked fine until the recent update.
I've even opened up my quandry to Cliff and the forum gang at GSPN.tv's "Help iGot a Mac" podcast and forums. Here is the link to that thread: http://gspn.tv/forum/index.php?topic=977.0
Maybe together, a better solution that a full iPhone restore is out there (I just can't risk losing the 120+ calendar items I've created on my iPhone since the last successful sync with my iMac).
Thanks in advance,
Wayne

How to restore calendar items from Entourage 2008 after upgrade to Lion (10.7.5)?

I held off upgrading to Lion because I had a bunch of old email I wanted to convert first. But now that Apple is no longer offering security updates for Snow Leopard, I decided to take the plunge. Unfortunately, after the Lion upgrade most of my calendar items in Entourage 2008 disappeared (and those that remained appeared in duplicate).
I think I should be able to access an uncorrupted version of my Main Identity folder for Office 2008 … because I have an Automator workflow that creates a daily backup, and that backup should be available through Time Machine. I turned off Time Machine after this calamity so that I wouldn't overwrite my Entourage Backup folder.
I need the July 8 or 9 version of: ~ / Documents / Entourage Backup / Main Identity.
But when I select the Entourage Backup folder and open Time Machine, all the Finder windows behind the current one go dark and I can't move backward toward an earlier date (I've done this with Time Machine turned off and on). This makes me think the Entourage Backup folder has not been getting backed up recently, or perhaps ever. Ugh.
When I check my Time Machine preferences, only the following items are shown as excluded from backups:
So it seems I should be in the clear and able to access Entourage Backup.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong in trying to restore from Time Machine? Or anything else I might be doing wrong?
Many thanks.

When I check my Time Machine preferences, only the following items are shown as excluded from backups:
Not sure how any of this relates to a Time Capsule....one of the hardware products that we support in this forum.....but we will try to help.
Main Identity is located as follows on your Mac:
Macintosh HD > Documents > Microsoft User Data > Office 2008 Identities > Main Indentity
Unfortunately, you have been excluding Microsoft User Data from your backups, so there is nothing to recover or restore.

IOS upgrade does it again. It trashes my old calendar entries

I have come to rely on the feature in the iOS upgrade that it will trash my old calendar entries. Upgrading to iOS 4 was no exception. It changed start and end times, repeat information, adds entries,combined multiple repeating entries into 1 even though they had different start and end dates and information in the entry and does a whole lot of other nifty stuff. I have reported this with every upgrade and now I realize that Apple does not care what happens to someone's calendar. This IPhone is being synch'd with a Mac so its an apples to apples (sorry for the pun) process.
I have a whole lot of issues with the calendar program on the IPhone. This is the one of the most annoying. The other is if you have parents in the 80's and you set birthdays. They do not show up on your IPhone. They show fine on the Mac but I guess the IPhone does not think your parent's birthday's are important enough to display. I am slowly getting to the point of regretting that I converted to the IPhone. For all of the bells and whistles, when a device cannot do the simplest tasks it becomes an annoyance. Oh yes this is a 3G and not a new phone. I do not intend to spend money until I see that Apple starts to take their customers seriously. They are slowly becoming Microsoft and that is the attitude that I thought I was getting away from.

You have options in the Organizer Tab for Calendar by clicking on Configure. From there, there you can choose to sync ALL calendar entries. This should be a resolution. Additionally, there are options to further control what syncs by clicking on the advanced button.
If you want to control how much calendar data remains on your mobile consider...
I have had problems with Blackberry's handling of appts in the past where - when an appt is deemed to be removed from the mobile device - it removed it also from Outlook! This should NEVER be - but WAS. As a result it is a better 'policy' to simply have your BB sync ALL appts and control how much will remain on your phone by using Outlook's archiving feature. When the calendar items do move to your archive, then you will see appts to be deleted from your phone but they will just be "older" appts according to what you have setup.
And regardless - before you do any new sync or major changes that may react unexpectedly...
Make a backup of your Outlook file just in case!!
Hope this helps.

Attempting to delete future occurences of Calendar items.

I cannot delete Calendar items that are recurring (set to occur weekly, monthly, annually). When I do, they pop right back in. When deleting a recurring calendar item, the options given are: "Delete All Future Events" and "Delete Only This Event". Neither option works for me - the calendar items pop back in within seconds. How to resolve this? I can only delete single-occuring calendar items. Thank you!

Found time to fiddle with a powershell script again and have run into an issue. I am a marketing guy fiddling with powershell, so please be gentle!I am attempting to remove only the shortcuts in a directory but am not having a lot of luck.Powershell#Clear out previous contents of "$env:appdata\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu"$startMenu = "$env:appdata\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu"Get-ChildItem $startMenu -Include *.lnk| foreach ($_) {Remove-Item $_.FullName}This code works if i remove "-Include *.lnk" from the line, but then it asks if i also want to remove the "Programs" folder, which i don't. Is there a different way to ask for only the shortcuts in the directory?Ill add that the reason i want to remove these shortcuts is that the rest of the script pushes a bunch of shortcuts INTO this folder and i wanted to ensure any old shortcuts...

Missing Outlook calendar items

Hi,
Just got the new BB Curve for my birthday and am still getting used to it (I was an old Palm Treo 650 user). Yesterday, everything synced fine on my BB and Outlook, however today all my Outlook calendar items are missing. They are on my BB, but not my work Outlook.
How can I get them back to my Outlook calendar without re-keying? Thanks in advance for any help.
Taitia

Hi Brian,
We use MS Outlook Exchange and I was told by a coworker to do the following. Look at the meeting requests with attachments by size of the file. Remove any attachments from the meeting requests that caused the file size to be greater than 1MB and save them offline. This is even for meetings that are in the past. Once they are all less than 1MB, power your iPhone or iPad down completely. Turn it back on an viola they should be all back. It worked for me.
Good Luck

Calendar items won't synch...help!

An important person in our company has had to have a new PC installed. We are using Blackberry Internet Server. I installed Desktop Manager 4.7 on the new PC, and when I connected the device for the first time, it prompted to update the device software, which I did. However, when the synch takes place (Outlook 2003), certain Calendar items won't be added to Outlook from the device, and certain Calendar items won't be added to the device from Outlook.
The old PC was running an older version of both Outlook (2002) and Desktop Manager (not sure which version). I have gone through the settings but cannot figure out why this is happening. Everything else seems to be working fine. I don't want to have to attempt deleting CICALs etc unless I absolutely have to. The only thing I can think of at this point is to uninstall/reinstall Desktop Manager and hope that resolves the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Your help is much appreciated.

I don't believe that is true; that Vista won't run Outlook. Now, I'm saying that from having read through other threads, but I've also read that you do need to install and run the DM using full administrator rights. That may be your problem.
Let us know.

3Gs erratically deletes calendar items when synching with iTunes

Serious problem. I sync to MacBook Air with iTunes. Process ends up "randomly" deleting appointments. Sometimes lose an entire month's items. How can I stop this from happening?

I know this doesn't help, but I have a similar problem. Most people want to know how to delete old calendar entries. I want to know how to stop my iPhone automatically deleting them (all except repeated events like birthdays) more than a couple of months old. My calendar is like a diary, I want to be able to check back when I had a meeting, a trip, lunch... and I have it on my computer, but why should iPhone delete stuff without instructions?
