My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

I found this tip from a 2011 discussion on the same topic.
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.

IPhone calendar events are cut off at 57 lines of content

Hi,
My iPhone(iOS 4.1) syncs with my corporate Exchange server. I use the calendaring feature religiously. Sometimes an event(for example, a WebEx invitation) will be forwarded to me that's quite lengthy. The event shows up fine in Outlook, but on my iPhone it cuts off after 57 lines of content. This causes me grief when theres a URL I need to get to thats, say, on line 58.
I took a screenshot of a test event I created: http://1strule.org/53/iphone-cal-issue.jpg
Is there anyway to increase the size of these events?

I'm having the same issue but with 5.1.1 and exchange but the Notes section of the calendar event on my phone gets cut off around 8 lines. Shows up fine in Outlook but is content of the meeting request or calendar event is cut off.

IPod Touch 1.1.2 - calendar events don't show up on iCal

Hi, I just upgraded my iPod Touch to 1.1.2 using the option-click Restore with the downloaded firmware. All went well.
Then, tried to add new events in on the iPod, no problem. But I can't get them to sync with the Mac. Just won't show up in iCal! How disappointing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get events from my iPod to iCal.
Running 10.5 + iTunes 7.5 + QT 7.3 + iPod Touch 1.1.2
Thanks, Malcolm

Ok, got calendar events syncing now. I think it was a problem with iCal. But here's what I did:
- Clicked restore on iPod Touch, by this time the 1.1.2 update was available on iTunes, so wiped it and updated it to 1.1.2 "official"
- Synced up calendars and contacts first to see if it would work, the weirdest thing was that events I had created on the touch before reset and that didn't show on iCal were back on the touch!! Spooky. They must have synced to iCal but iCal didn't show them (even after restarts).
- Chose "Back up iCal" in the File menu, and then "Restore iCal" from the backup I just made, and hey presto the iPod Touch created events were now showing. They had been in iCal all along but iCal was hiding them.
- Tested out two way syncing of events, all works great now.
I love my iPod touch again (except for the Safari crashing stuff...) That was harder than it needed to be.

Attendees not showing up in ical when clicking on a date in an email

Hey
When I receive an email with a date and time in it and I click on that date and add it in to ical (using "Create New iCal Event" option), it allows me to give a name of the meeting, change time, set the alarm etc but I cant seem to add the attendees to it. When I add a new event directly in ical it does allow me to add attendees. Is there away of doing this from an email? Its a great new feature, shame its missing the attendees part
Thanks

Suddenly, events entered in Calendar on iPhone are not showing up in iCal or iCloud

Until late November, i had an iPhone 4s with iOS 5.   Then i got an iPhone 6 with iOS 8. As previously, when i would enter an event in the Calendar, that data would also show up in my iCal calendar and on my iCloud calendar, until the last couple of days. Now, new entries are not showing up on iCal or iCloud. I encountered the problem that my iPhone, 64G, is being backed up to the iCloud and after two backups, taking up 2.4G each, my 5G of iCloud storage was used up. I speculated that this was why my phone data stopped syncing to the other calendars on the computer and cloud, though i did not know for sure. I deleted one of the two back ups and am about to delete the other one. I have never had this problem of running out of iCloud storage on my other phone. According to Settings>iCloud>Storage, i had 89MB. But since i have deleted one of the 2.4G backups (which was "incomplete") my new entries are still not showing up in iCal and on the iCloud.
Is there a way to get this feature to work again?
Are there things i can check or uncheck in settings or in Calendar or ??   that will get this to work well as it did in iOS 5?

ckuan - thank you for replying. i am really desperate for help. I have wasted so much time on this. I was on hold with Apple support for a long time and then had a call with a rep that lasted over an hour but he didn't know anything about issues of these kinds. i was put on hold a lot while he consulted. He did agree that the data wasn't syncing from iPhone to iCloud and iCal because the iCloud storage was used up by the iPhone back ups. So he advised deleting one of them. I now have 2.4G of storage on iCloud. Am i wrong to think that should be enough?   I still ave the original complete back up (2.4g) undeleted, in case there some reason that i need it. i don't like deleting things i don't have a good understanding of.
Following your instructions, i went to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars. I then scrolled down to Calendars and at the bottom, i see where it says Default Calendar. This raised new questions for me which i will ask you/others now:
On the Default Calendar page, there is a heading that says iCloud and there is a second heading that says my gmail email address, [email protected]. Under the iCloud heading, there is a list of 8 "calendars," called Work, Family, Pets, Home, etc. Under the gmail address heading, there is only one option listed, which is my gmail username. When i went to the Default Calendar option, as i think you suggested if i understood you right, i found that the Calendar with the checkmark next to it was the gmail user name, under the gmail address heading. Presumably, this is the same setting i had on my 4s with iOS 5.
I wanted to follow your instruction to change this to iCloud as Default Calendar. but the only option i have is to choose only one of those 8 "calendars," either Work, or Pets, or Home, etc. Does this make sense?   The only reason i know for having these many different calendars was to give different colors to the different event categories. I didn't really want them to be separate calendars. i just wanted to use the color coding for type of event in my overall calendar.
I don't know why this is suddenly so complicated and confusing, after working fine for the first two or three weeks i've had the new iPhone. Suddenly, when i enter events in Calendar, it's not reaching the cloud. If this is because my gmail and/or google user name was checked as the default calendar, that was not a setting i would've recently changed. I never would have set my iPhone to only use one of the iCloud sub-calendars at my default calendars.
But right now, per your instructions, i have checked Settings>Mail.Contacts,Calendars>Calendars>Default Calendar to iCloud>Home (Home being one of my 8 sub-calendars). When i look on the Mail,Contacts,Calendars setting list, under Default calendar, it now says Home, instead of my gmail username. Just to be clear, there is no way to check iCloud on the Default Calendar page. i have tried checking it, but it's just a somewhat grayed out heading and doesn't respond to attempts to check it, it's not offered as a Calendar option. Only the various sub-calendars are offered a default calendar options, under the grayed out iCloud heading. So, i selected Home, for no particular reason. i have lots of entries under different categories.
Here is the result:   still no new entries showed up in iCloud or iCal. In January, a couple of days ago, i entered three dental appointments, for which i have always used Health as what i thought was a category (not a separate "calendar"). The color of Health events is green. The color of Home events is Blue. After changing the Default Calendar from gmail email address>user name to iCloud>Home (blue), the dental appointment in January did not show up. But when i went into the first dental appointment event>edit and changed the "calendar" to Home, it then showed up on the calendar. The other two dental appointments which were still Health did not show up.
Then, i changed the first dental appointment that is showing up in January back to Health (green). It still shows up, now, colored green, even though Home/blue is now my default calendar. But the two other dental appointments are not showing up.
Does this mean if want to use my Calendar and have the data backed up in iCloud and iCal, from now on, i need to use only one sub calendar and give up using the different color codes because iOS 8 is forcing me to choose only one sub calendar to be my whole calendar, and the only way to use different colors for different categories of events would be to first enter it as the default sub calendar (such as dental appointment>Home), and then go back and edit it into the correct sub calendar (such as changing it to the correct category, Health) to show the correct one instead of the "default" one?
Why was this made so much more difficult and complicated than it used to be? It was working normally up until a couple of days ago.
What i need, if possible, is info on what setting i can use to go back to using my gmail address user name as my default calendar, so that it can just work properly as it did before. It seems ridiculous that i am forced by iCloud to use a sub category as my default calendar and everything that isn't entered as that subcategory will not be processed in iCloud. Why does iCloud provide these sub calendar category options at all, if it's going to force people to only be able to use one of them?
What am i missing here?
Is there a setting that would enable combining all subcategories as one calendar, called iCloud, but where i could still use the different colors for different categories?

I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

Outlook is a mail client for PC's (and Macs). It is not a type of account. Do you mean an "Exchange Account"?
If so, then re-add it. The calendar events live on the Exchange Server. The only way to get them back is to re-add the account to the phone. The contents of Exchange and IMAP accounts are not part of the 'backup' as they already exist elsewhere.

My Color Coded Calendar Events Are Not Shown

My Color Coded Calendar Events are not displayed on my iphone. The events sync fine but they don't have the appearance that Outlook 2003 has. Dots on a calendar don't do me much good. What am I missing?

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that I saw in the "Intro to the new iphone" thing here on the apple site that this thing displayed the Label Color of my events. But no, I just watched it again and saw that it shows the different calendars I have in different colors. I'm very bummed (at myself for misunderstanding it). This is my first ianything so I'm not very familiar with apple. Is there somewhere that I can place an enhancement request?

How do I get my iPhone calendar events to show up on my Google calendar?

I have an iPhone 4s. When I add a calendar event on my Google calendar it shows up fine on my iPhone calendar. I can delete that event on my iPhone calendar and it deletes it on my Google calendar so I know there's a "link." BUT, when I add an item on my iPhone calendar it doesn't show up on my Google calendar. I've tried waiting 15 minutes (the refresh time for Fetch) , and refreshing the calendar page but no luck.
Help?

That response would work save one detail: This is my work phone so I get meetings and such added via corporate email, etc. Those go by default to my iPhone calendar so I was hoping there was a way to just sync everything that ends up on my iPhone calendar to my Google calendar.
Thanks for the reply.

I have an older phone, the Iphone 4. For some reason, all of my calendar events are gone. I can't see old, present or future events. Help me please. I need this information.

ICloud calendar events are gone from iPhone and iPad

I turned on iPhone and iPad this am and and icloud calendar events are missing. When I opened iPad calendar, events were there, but then disappeared and now are gone. All events are still calendar in iCloud on PC. How do I get them back on iPhone and iPad?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check you aren't hiding them.
i.e. on the phone settings > mail, contacts, calendars > calendars > sync.

Some iPhone Calendar Events missing

Have MobileMe (formerly Mac.com) for several years. Since last fall (2009) have tried to trust the 'Cloud' syncing Contacts and Calendars over the air. Worked for the most part. Lately have seen missing items or events on Calendar.
Notice today that several calendar events are missing on the iPhone 3G (3.1.3). However, on MobileMe (using Firefox on a PC), the Calendar appears to be accurate as well as iCal on the iMac. Turned off the calendars in the Settings and then turned them back on, but to no avail. This is weird, because Contacts do not appear to be affected. Anyone else having issues. Thanks, Todd

Ah, I figured it out.
Under Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Calendars - there is a 'Sync' action that allows for 'Events' to be sync'd '2 Weeks Back', '1 Month Back', '3 Months Back', '6 Months Back' or ' All Events'. Originally, I had '1 Month Back' checked and thus older events did not show on the iPhone.
I checked the 'Events 6 Months Back' and it brought in older events from iCal and MobileMe Calendar.

All my calendar events are missing!!! help!

All my calendar events are missing....can anyone help? Iphone 4s

If you are syncing your calendar with a supported program like Outlook using iTunes, just sync them back. If not, all you can do is restore your phone from the backup created the last time you synced your phone. Note: this will revert all your data and settings to those contained in the backup, not just your calendar. Be sure to import any recent photos to your computer before doing so or you will lose them.
If you want to do this, prior to connecting your phone, open iTunes and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically." Then connect your phone, when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes, right-click on its name and select Transfer Purchases (to transfer any recent purchases to your iTune library). Then right-click again and choose Restore from backup.

Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)?
--- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal. Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once? If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
To avoid this issue in the future:
Keep regular backups. They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
Hope that information helps.

N900 Calendar events didn't show up on widget

My device is running on the latest (?) V 10.2010.12-9 firmware, I find some of my calendar events didn't show up on the widget. It show 5 current events, but when I add an event in between the dates it didn't show up, but the widget does reflect changes to the current events, ie. date and title change, if I remove an event a later event will fill up the space. All my events are in the default N900 local group, and I don't see anything wrong with the setting, is this a bug ??

Now I know what happen, the build in calendar widget has problem that only shows repeated events, I install the 'calendar home widget' and it worked normally, but the calendar still has problem, the event alarm can not set between 1 and 3 hours, the same problem on an old S60 model I forget which one.
