N8 calendar: private events option missing?

Hi,
Picked up the N8 yesterday, and was wondering if anyone knows an answer to the following. Is the missing "Private" flag setting in the N8 calendar a feature or a bug? And is there anyway around it / am I missing something?
In Outlook you can set an event to be private (or not). In my previous Nokia phones - last one being the E72 - the calendar events had this privacy option where I would set public / private / no sync. The option seems to be missing from the N8.
The N8 calendar does not allow to change the private flag for events synced with Exchange. It does retain the flag - so events set to private in Outlook will remain like that, and events set to public remain like that - even after editing them on the phone. So clearly the internals of the phone know about this flag and can handle its value when editing events (verified with some sync testing). But you cannot change the flag in the N8.
Luckily all new events become private, so it is not completely useless, but I don't understand why that option is gone. With the N8 calendar I basically have only two of those three options.
No sync: I can create a new calendar, putting the event there, thereby it does not get synced with Exchange.
Private: I can put it into the Exchange calendar when I get a private event.
But I cannot create a public event from my phone.
Feature or bug?

The new Ovi Calendar may offer a solution, I don't have an N8 so couldn't say

click on that and get your options for repeating. Hope that helps.

Installed ios5 - add event option missing on iCal !!!

I bought an iPad 2 from Apple store yesterday, employee said ios5 was already installed. When I got home & turned on, it was not! I installed it, but there was no "add event +" option on iCal. How do I fix?
Thanks,
CJ

Jayne,
You should see a icon on the bottom right of the Calendar window. Is that missing in your display? Apple - iPad 2 - See your day, week, month, or year in a glance.

Calendars and events are missing from iCal

What happened was I closed the lid of my MacBook Pro to put it to sleep. When I opened the lid to wake it, the screen was dark, like it was between 0 brightness and the lowest brightness setting. It also was not responding to trackpad or keyboard input, so I restarted it. However, when my computer started up, it seems as if my Mail.app had reset and everything was gone from my iCal. With Mail.app, after I redid one account, it seemed to return to normal. With iCal, I tried to sync it with my Palm, hoping that my calendars and events would get transferred to iCal. However, that didn't work, and I am getting errors with Missing Sync. The errors I'm getting are:
OK TimeCopy
OK Mark/Space Conduit for AvantGo
OK Mark/Space Contacts
SyncClient error. Mingling failed.
OK Mark/Space Events with 1 message(s)
No folders have been selected to synchronize.
OK Mark/Space Folder Sync
OK Mark/Space MemoPad
OK Mark/Space Photos
This conduit cannot be synchronized because there are no writable calendars available to synchronize. To correct this, select a writable calendar in the conduit's configuration window.
No writable calendars exist
OK Mark/Space Tasks with 2 message(s)
OK Adobe Reader
OK Documents To Go
OK Note Pad
Anyone have ideas where the issue is?

If you want to use your back up you need to restore then entire Library from Time Machine, and then replace the damaged Library with it.

Need a new Calendar 'Repeat Event' option

The most common 'Repeat Event' option that I use is for meetings best described as "The second Thursday in each month" or "The third Wednesday of each month".
I can find no way to enter this repeat.
I am using the iPhone Calendar as my sole Calendar. (I.e. I do not synch it to a PC Calendar.)
Can anyone tell me how to enter such a repeat? Thanks.

As Ian said, it cannot be done on the iPhone, but if you are synced to anothyer calendar with that capability, such as Outllok, then you do it there and the dates sync across.
You can also request that Apple consider implementing the feature by going here http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Outlook 2010 subscribed internet calendar recurring event problem -- missing recurring events

Hi --
In Office Outlook 2010, I'm subscribed to my wife's google calendar via subscribed internet calendars. A few weeks ago, I noticed that recurring events weren't appearing. I deleted the subscription, and resubscribed, with no luck. (All
her other appointments and events were there, but not the recurring ones - including new scheduled events she had just added.)
At the same time, I did the same thing in Office Outlook 2013, (on another computer), and all the recurring events were there.
So the problem isn't with the feed, but somewhere in MS Office Outlook 2010.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi,
Please make sure the latest patches and service packs are installed for your Outlook 2010. Since the issue doesn’t happen in Outlook 2013 on another computer, the Internet Calendar URL should be OK for opening.
Please refer to the following article to create a new Outlook profile and restart Outlook in Safe mode to have a try:

If the issue doesn’t happen in safe mode, the issue may be caused by any third-party add-ins, please disable then enable the add-ins in Outlook One by One to confirm the issue cause.

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.

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.

Calendar apps: 1. That my wife and I can share. 2. That shows some of the text in the full month view. 3. That can have "public" events and "private" events.

Hello All,
I am looking for a calendar app that my wife and I can share on both of our iphones. I am new to this and haven't found an app that will do what I want.
1. I want the full month view to show some of the text of each event: Like Pocket Informant and Monthly Calendar Mocha do (not just a dot).
2. That both of us can post and see each other's events.
3. That each of us can post "private" events that the other person won't see on their phone. Things like, "Wife's surprise party."
4. That sync's both calendars automatically.
I know a lot of people use Fantastical, but I don't think that would give me the text in the full month view.
Is there an app that can do all of the above?
Thanks in advance.
Rick

Sharing and syncing is a feature of the calendar database; you can have multiple calendars, and each can be private, shared with specific other iCloud users, or public. If you have a Mac you can set that up in the Calendar app; for either Mac or Windows you can set it up by logging in to iCloud.com using your Apple ID.
The other calendar apps all use the Apple calendar database; they just have different ways of presenting the content, and can also take advantage of "hidden" features of the Apple calendar database (such as adding icons to entries).

My calendar on iCloud is missing most older events

My calendar on iCloud is missing all but recurring events that happened a year or more ago. I have therefore lost these events on my MacBook and Touch, too. I have an old backup of my calendar data, but it seems that if I use this to restore iCal on my MacBook, I'll lose all newer events. Can I merge the two backup files? When I tried to use an old backup to populate my calendar on the MacBook, I got an error message that it would wipe out the data now on my calendar. I want to merge the old data with newer events. Is there a workaround that will let me do this? I imagine this happened when I moved to iCloud, but it seems unlikely that I would not have looked for older events on my calendar (and found them missing) since then.
In addition to one iCal backup, I have Time Machine, which doesn't seem to allow you to look at older calendars, and a versioned backup to an external drive using Data Backup. I thought that one of these would let me look at old calendar data, but it's almost pointless if I can't merge the data or at least have a separate calendar for older data.

i had this problem too, but after looking at this post I went into settings, iCloud and toggled the Calendars to on (green). I then went back into the calendar and the plus sign was available.

Option to use private browsing is missing in the dropdown list

The option to use private browsing is missing in the dropdown listo I think this happened after I down loaded an app that was supposed to help me shutdown private browsing since I didnt know how to do it. I dont remember which app it was. But either way its gone now..

Hi,
Unfortunately Firefox doesn't have an option to open a private tab in the current regular window.
You have to open a new private window for private browsing.

ICal events duplicated, missing in iPhoto calendar

It's that time of year again, when I make my annual calendar. Only this year it isn't going smoothly.
When I go to the calendar settings and choose which iCal events I want, I'm getting all sorts of strange behavior.
Items from two calendars for the same day won't both appear on the calendar. I want to add a July 4 birthday, but I can get either Independence Day or the birthday, not both.
As I added calendars, sometimes events already listed became duplicated or triplicated (not with US Holidays, but other calendars).
Is anyone else having this problem and more importantly, does any one have a solution.
Calendar ordering time is fast upon us. One of the things that makes an iPhoto calendar worth the extra bucks is that it has all the dates I want on it. Help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Those are bugs that need to be reported to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

How can I make my calendar private?

I was added into a hosted calendar on my mac, but now every time I want to put in an event to my calendar, everyone in this group can see it in their calendars too. How can I make all the events in my calendar private?

The Accounts tab of the Calendar preferences window.

Private Events in iCal and Zimbra

Hi,
I use iCal in 10.6.2 and Zimbra server at work. I don't see an option in iCal to make events private, though I have heard that there should be a button on the edit pane to enable that. If I create the event on the Zimbra web interface I CAN get a private event to work - the problem is when I create the event via iCal - there does not seem to be an option there. Any ideas? Is it a config on the ZImbra side? OS X Terminal command?
Thanks

I don't think iCal does this. Make a suggestion to Apple:

Hey Armando Stettner,
Thanks for the question, and what a great question it is!
With time zone support on, you can edit an individual event and change the time zone for that event. This list will include options for your default time zones, UTC, and "floating" - the latter of which is what you are looking for. Floating changes the event to occur at the specified time, local time.
For information on changing an event's time zone, see the following resource:
Calendar: Change an event’s time zone

I look forward to hearing how this works for you.
Cheers!
