Old calendar entries have disappeared

Hi. I have a dreadful memory so use my calendar rather like a diary, writing entries each day of things that have happened. My calendar has deleted all entries older than around 40 days. Can you please help me restore old entries and stop current ones from being deleted. Many thanks - and best wishes. Sue x

Connect your iPhone to your computer. When iTunes is launched, click your phone's entry under "Devices" then click the "Info" tab. Under "Calendars", uncheck the box next to "Do not sync events older than X days".

Old calender entries have disappeared off the home screen in today veiw

On my blackberry curve I used to get 2 entries shown on the homescreen in today view but after i added my email and restarted they didn't sow on the homescreen, only in my calender. However when i entered new dates they would show up but still not show the previous things i had added even though they were for future dates.
I tried going through support and rining up but noone could help. All i want is to see the previous data entered in my calender on my home screen.
Cheers, Adam

On your device, > Options > Advanced > Default Services and choose your default email profile to whic the calendar is tied. You can also choose this in the Calendar at Options (when the calenar is open).
If you have less than OS 4.5, you may not have that choice above.

My old calendar entries deleted themselves. I lost all my history. WHY?

This is the second time my prior calendar entries have disappeared. Gone. Everything longer than a month ago.
Why does this happen?
Is there a way to prevent it?

Make sure that Sync entries older than 30 days is checked in settings.

Old calendar entries disappear

I use the calendar on both the iPhone and iCal on Mac OS X and have them synced. This works fine except for one thing. Old calendar entries (over a month ago) are deleted when I sync.
There is an option to do this automatically in iCal on Mac OS (it is disabled) I assume a similar option is enabled on the iPhone and they disappear when I sync because they are deleted from the iPhone version. Any idea how I disable this on the iPhone?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but under Mail, contacts, calendar settings and all the way down at the bottom. There you can select how far back you want your calendar to sync.

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.

Accessing old calendar entries

Hi - I am new to the forum - hoping someone can help me. Doing my taxes and I put all of my appointments in my BB and didn't write them down for last year. Does anyone know how to access events that are older on our BB calendar? I see nothing on my calendar for the months of last year... HELP?!

inside the Calendar application, in the options, there is a setup to delete old calendar entries after some time. Please check how many days you have allowed before deletion. Mine is set to "forever".

Icalendar - most, not all, entries have disappeared - where can I find back up on Time Machine?

For some reason, most of my calendar entries have gone - not all of them.
I have a Time Machine that backs up regularly.
I I wanted to find a recent back up of icalendar, where would I find it on Time Machine, so that I can 'Restore' accordingly?

My diary entries have disappeared

I use my I phone 4S as my diary and just noticed that most of my entries have disappeared?
I have switched it on and off and reset it but the entries are not coming back.
Can you help?
It's been fine for 8 months?

Assuming that you're syncing your calendar, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Calendar>Sync. Check to see how long you have it set for and adjust accordingly.

All Contacts and Calendars entries have disappreared

All my Contacts and Calendar entries have suddenly disappeared from my iPhone4S, and the phone won't allow me to make any new Calendar entries. I've tried restoring from a back-up on my PC, but I get a messsage on iTunes on the PC saying no back-up is stored there, although I'm looking at the iTunes screen telling me when the last back-up was made.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
TIA

I have the exact same problem and it drives me mad - thanks for letting me know if you find a solution. Here is what I will try: export all my contacts from where they are in the pst file in outlook then "try" to reimport them in the ost file (exchange). I noticed indeed that if I create a contact in the ost file, it does get pushed over to itunes.
But there seems to be no way of telling itunes which outlook data file to use in priority, and if you select it as default in outlook you wipe out the content of your mail file on the exchange server. Not great.

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
The calendar however, is not easy to use.
The typing function on the phone has become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

In setting up ICloud on my new Iphone 4s, I lost most of my calendar events in my Outlook 7 calendar. I used to have MobileMe but in the set-up process was told to turn that off which I did but now most of my calendar events have disappeared

In setting up ICloud on my new Iphone 4s, I lost most of my calendar events in my Outlook 7 calendar in my Vista PC. I used to have MobileMe but in the set-up process was told to turn that off, which I did but now most of my calendar events have disappeared after syncing with ICloud. How can I get my missing calendar events back? They are still on my 3Gs Iphone which I have not yet updated to IOS5.
Thanks for any help.

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

Is it possible to change timezones without changing time of all your old calendar entries?

moved cities and when I use local timezone all my old calendar entries shift 5 hours. anyway to stop that?

Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but it tells me to either set it on or off. If I leave it off, then all my entries from when I was living in NY are five hours off because I live in London now. If I turn it on and set it to NY, then all my current entries are off. I need to look back at my calendar (Yahoo) quite a bit, not just for pending appointments.

Where do old calendar entries go? They are all gone since i installed icloud...

Where do old calendar entries go? They where always on my ipod. But ever since I installed icloud most of my old entries are gone, except for birthdays and other repeated entries. Is there a way to get these old entries back? Or can you find them somewhere on icloud?

You might try this if you use iCloud.

My BB Storm is deleting all of my old calendar entries in Outlook! HELP!

I've seen this raised a few times with different handsets, and different email/calendar clients, however, I've yet to find a BB Storm messing around with Outlook 2009. However, am guessing that its a generic BB problem that messes up ALL email/calendar clients!
In short - I've followed the advice on the Vodafone website, to reset the sync settings in the DM, and then set them back up again - DIDN'T WORK.
I've also ensured that on the Handset/Calendar options, that they are set to be kept - FOREVER, makes no difference!
I don't know what to do next. I really, really need to keep all of my old diary entries for client reference and notes etc. I can't have one-way sync, as I often make appointments when out and about, and its CRUCIAL that the handset then updates the laptop the next time they are sync'd, so that both diaries are always showing all information, all of the time, as well as having the full history.
Can I make this work, or should I be resigned to the fact that in all these years, RIM hasn't worked out that business people need to keep records of important stuff like this!?
Richard

I am faced with the same issue and reluctant to sync my calendar now. Any help would be appreciated.
