Outlook connector shows some deleted recurring events

We discovered an oddity that appears to be with the way Outlook shows a recurring event (seems to be an interpretation problem while reading and partially while writing). I'm using the connector from 139162-03 in either Outlook 2003 or 2007 set to sync calendar events every 1 minute and SCS6u2 on the backend with patches from around 2 months ago.
Simplest way to reproduce:
- On either a Sun web interface or in Outlook, create an event that recurs daily for 2 instances (or any equivalent way of making it recur twice, such as by setting the end date)
- If you delete the second instance from the Web, Outlook will display it fine (given ample time to sync up completely).
- If you delete the second instance from Outlook, the Web will display it fine, but the second instance will reappear in Outlook
- Considering the previous two lead to a difference while the result on the web looks the same, there is probably a difference in the ICS for those events on the server but I have not checked.
- Similar things hold true for deleting certain days of the even when recurring more than 2 times.
- If only the original recurrence is modified, the deleted recurrence re-appears in Outlook with similarities to the original event, not the one that was deleted.
- I'm not 100% sure on most of the behavior description since I may have been confused by changes that have not completely propagated through yet, but one thing I am sure of is a 2 day recurring event will have the second instance show back up pretty soon if the second instance is deleted in Outlook.
Initially I'm wondering if anyone else can reproduce this. We will most likely take it up with Sun's support soon but I thought I would try here first. Thanks.

I was able to find two recently created bugs which I assume are related to problem behaviour:
bug #6874243 - "deleted instances of a recurring series are still visible in OC"
bug #6883111 - "Moving an instance of a recurring event with attendees actually moves the first instance"

  • Cant delete recurring event from iMac to Macbook Air

    I Cant delete recurring event from iMac to Macbook Air.
    I have an event scheduled for Wednesday each week, I delete it at end of day. If i delete it on my Macbook Air it deletes fine on my iMac just fine. But if i delete it on my iMac first it stays on my Macbook Air...
    I check the preferences and both computers are configured the same way..
    It use to work before i upgraded both computers to Yosemite...

    Yes and no. AirDrop is used to send a file from one computer to another. A Contact isn't a file so AirDrop isn't the best way to move contacts from one computer to another. If you own both an iMac and MBA and want to keep the two computers synced, the easiest way is to create an iCloud account on both computers. Any calendar event, to do, contact, or note you create on one will sync to the other. If you just bought a MBA and want to move data to it from your iMac you should use Apple's migration assistant. Personally I think the easiest way to migrate is to perform a backup of the old computer to a USB external drive using TimeMachine and then connect the TimeMachine to the new computer and use Migration Assistant.
    But can you exchange contacts using AirDrop? Yes. Select the contact(s) you want to transfer, export them as vcards to a temporary folder. Then AirDrop the folder to your MBA. Now run Contacts and then drag the vcards onto the Contacts program icon in the Dock.

  • Google Cal won't let me delete recurring events in iCal on a certain Mac?

    My company uses a Google public calendar for everyone in the company to schedule events and see what's going on. My new Macbook Pro can edit that calendar freely as does my Macbook. However if I'm on my iMac, I get this bizarre error when deleting recurring events. What in the world does this mean?
    "HTTP/1.1 409 Can only store an event with a newer DHSTAMP"
    I looked up the error in Google's Cal Help, which was useless unless you are a physicist or programmer working for them. Made not one bit of sense to me.
    What can I do? It's making me crazy!!!!

  • Deleted recurring events still show up on iPad/iPhone/Macbook Calendars

    Trying to view several calendars for the purpose of project management.  Here is the problem step by step:
    1) If I am UserA and have  my calendar set up as Exchange or CalDav with FULL rights, I can add, delete or edit all events as needed.  I can add recurring events and DELETE one or more occurrences of the recurring event and have THAT show up correctly on my iPad.
    2) If UserB sets up his calendar and gives me read access, I can SUBSCRIBE to his calendar using normal "other / caldav" subscription settings and view it properly.  No problem.
    3) If UserB sets up a recurring event (lunch meeting at noon every Monday), that shows up properly on my iPad.  No problem.
    4) If UserB is going to be out of town or decides to cancel his lunch meeting for some other reason, he can on his own machine (Outlook, Mac Calendar, iPad with Exchange full account) delete that event.  No problem for HIM.
    5) On MY iPad, the subscribe calendar never shows anything different.  The same recurring events continue to display even if UserB has delete one OCCURRENCE of the event.  This IS a problem.  My view of his calendar is now incorrect.  Yeah, yeah, one meeting one day is not a problem.  But multiply that by several users, multiple deletions of recurring events, and suddenly the whole shooting match is out of whack.
    6) I can refresh the calendar to my heart's content, but nothing changes.
    7) Here's the kicker:  I can DELETE the subscribed calendar and RESUBSCRIBE to it.  This forces a completely fresh download to my iPad.  Doesn't change a thing.  The same recurring events still override ANY deletions that the user made to individual instances of the events.
    In looking at the raw ICS file which I can download via a web browser, an entry might look like this:

    EXDATE:20130218T223000Z
    EXDATE:20130225T223000Z
    END:VEVENT
    You can easily see that the EXDATE shows a deletion for 2013-02-25 as well as other dates.  Doesn't matter.  They STILL show up on the iPad and in the Mac OSX Calendar.
    I consider this a bug.  I hope an Apple employee sees and responds to this.  I would welcome any thoughts, workarounds or suggestions that could help with this.
    Yes, I can tell users to only put INDIVIDUAL events on their calendar.  But, let's face it.  It's easier to put a recurring event and delete one or two instead of putting 50 recurring events for the whole year.
    And, of course, Outlook displays things properly as do similar CalDav clients.

    Exact same issue here. Individual events deleted from a recurring appointment continue to show up in Calendar (OS X 10.8.2).  Same events do not show up on calendar if viewed via outlook from my desk PC or view outlook web app from anywhere.
    Clearly a bug.

  • Outlook shows SOME deleted messages even after restart

    I'm having a problem with deleting messages on Exchange (IMAP). This problem falls somewhere between javamail, Exchange, and Outlook. I do something like this:
        folder = store.getFolder(folderPath);
        folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
        Message[] msgs = folder.getMessages();
        // do processing
        for ( Message m : msgs )
            m.setFlag( javax.mail.Flags.Flag.DELETED, true );
        folder.close(true); //  Expunge all messages w/DELETED flagThis works MOST of the time. For some reason, Outlook 2003 continues to show SOME of the deleted messages in the folder, even if I click on "Send/Receive", and even if I restart Outlook. No exceptions occur during the processing.
    I also wrote a simple program to get all messages in the folder. This program shows that there are 0 messages in the folder, but they continue to show up in Outlook. Anyone know why Outlook still displays these "phantom" messages!?
    TIA,
    Vick

    Here's a debug session sample where the folder shows 2 messages in Outlook, but none in JavaMail. The two messages in Outlook can be opened and viewed. They remain even after "Send/Receive" and restart of Outlook. These two "phantom" messages were deleted with JavaMail in a previous pass using code shown in previous post.

  • ICal hanging when trying to edit/delete recurring event

    I have a calendar entry in iCal that recurs every week through the end of the year. I know this particular entry is causing issues in iCal so I have tried deleting it and/or editing it, and every time I do, it hangs iCal. Any thoughts/ideas? I do sync to a Palm using MissingSync but this calendar entry does not show up on my Palm so I can't delete it there. Any ideas? I would just like to delete the entry.

    Wow, just found the answer - YzGy posted this link <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7449164&#7449164> and I did as instructed and I'm back up and running. For some reason, this recurring event was on my calendar 12,300 times.

  • 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:
    https://support.office.com/en-za/article/I-can-t-start-Microsoft-Outlook-2010-or-2013-or-receive-the-error-%E2%80%9CCannot-start-Microsoft-Office-Outlook-Cannot-open-the-Outlook-Window%E2%80%9D-d1f69da6-b333-4650-97bf-4d77bd7abb85
    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.

  • Is anyone having trouble synching your Outlook Calendar with iCal on recurring events?

    In my Outlook calendar, I created some additional categories for different work events, each with their own name and color on my calendar.
    Sync Services is ON.
    When I went to synch my outlook calendar with my Blackberry, it looks like 10,000 or more new calendar items were created on my Outlook calendar. My Outlook calendar is a mess.  It think the problem is with iCal.
    It looks like all of the recurring events were duplicated 10 - 20 times each, including holidays.
    I have turned OFF Sync Services.
    I have two questions.
    1 - Is anyone else having this problem?
    2 - I have a Apple Time Capsule.  Is there a way I can go back to my Outlook calendar before this problem started today? 
    Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

    All your computers/devices can sign into the same iCloud account and sync between them. It rather sounds as if you've managed to create two separate iCloud accounts. You may have a different ID for iTunes and have been trying to use that - you should keep that ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match and use the main iCloud ID for syncing.
    On the computer which works, make sure you know what the login for iCloud is. Then on the other computer remove iCloud altogether:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmb1de40d9 and expand 'Turn off iCloud altogether'.
    Now set up that computer with the same login as on the first computer.

  • Cannot delete recurring events in calendar

    All of a sudden, with the (TERRIBLE) changes of iOS 7, recurring events will not delete or be changed. Each time I try to delete or even change an event, it walks through the correct process tellingme that it is a recurring event and asking if I want to delete just this one or all future events. I say all future. All's good. It goes away. then 5 seconds later it shows up again!  Same thin when I try to edit or move an event. I have tried on all my devices  to delete the same event -- it always returns!
    I am running iMac intel with OS X 10.9
    iPhone & iPad iOS 7
    and I am at a loss as how to do it differently.
    I found on earlier sites to put " sudo chmod -a# 0 ~/Library/Preferences/ into terminal -- but Termal came back with "
    chmod: No ACL present '
    Any thoughts?  Anyone else having this problem?

    Is this a synced calendar or just on the phone?
    For a synced calendar, you will need to go to the Settings App > Mail,Contacts,Calendar and remove it from there.
    For a calendar on the device, open the calendar app > Calendars > Seelct the calendar(s) in question (tap on the blue arrow to the right) > scroll down and tap Delete Calendar.

  • How to Delete Recurring Events

    Hi guys, how does one delete all instances of a recurring event from ical?

    acook59,
    Find the first time that the event was entered by using the search field, and delete it from that date. You will be prompted to "Delete All Future Events."
    ;~)

  • Cellphone calendar won't delete recurring events

    I have an LG Cosmos 2, and lately it won't let me delete calendar events that are recurring events. When I try to, a message appears that says "can't insert this exception" when I choose "just this event". It has only started doing this recently, and I'm doing nothing different. What's causing this?

        Thank you for the information, tthompson515!
    Are you able to delete normal events that are not recurring? If this issue persists, we may need to backup the phone and complete a factory reset. Here is how: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/31087/
    Contacts can be backed up with Backup Assistant.

  • Deleted Recurring Events still show on iPhone

    I've had this issue for a while now, and hoped the 2.0 release would fix it. Seems to not have.
    The issue is that if I delete a single instance of a re-occurring event in iCal, it still syncs to the iPhone. So a weekly meeting that gets cancelled still shows up, or when I delete all reoccuring items while on holiday, they still show up on the iPhone. If I delete them manually via the iPhone they stay off and don't sync back on.
    I've done restores, erased all the .Mac and MobileMe sync data (several times), and it still happens. This makes me believe it's a bug and not a corrupted calendar file or something.
    This is part of a more complicated set-up too for a married couple who run a medical business. I have two Mac laptops and two Mac desktops all synced to the same MobileMe account (for calendars and contacts). The two laptops also each have an iphone connected to them. The idea is they all share the same calendars and contact information (which is very complicated as they live part time in Canada, part time in US).
    It's becoming a real nuisance. I can solve it by having them not use re-occurring events, but that's not a real fix as these type of events are necessary.
    I've searched the web and these forums and can't find nothing related. I Can't imagine I'm on my own on this one. Thanks for the help.

    Does the title of the event become prefixed with "Cancelled:" ?

  • Icloud deleted recurring event and send notifications to everybody. I never used icloud and never deleted this event.

    I never used icloud and never made any changes to my icloud.
    Today icloud sent notifications to 100 people that the event was cancelled. I didnt made any changes. Those 100 people wrote "very good feedback"
    This event was created not in icloud, it was created in Outlook on my work PC, and it was done half a year ago.
    As I understand events from my outlook synced with icloud and iclud somehow made chamges without my permission.
    But the most fummy thing that event is still present in icloud, in Outlook and in my Iphone also.
    Please FIX or explain this, I dodnt want to have a repeat of this bug tomorrow

    Thanks, yeah I called Apple Customer Services and the guy said that the only thing I can do is restore my phone from my latest iTunes backup.
    The screen I got when this debacle happened literally said: "What would you like to do with the previously synched iCloud contacts on your iPhone?" It's so poorly worded, I thought it was just referring to the contacts that were just put on my phone from my computer, hense the "previously synched iCloud contacts" but when I was on the phone with the guy he was saying that I misunderstood the screen.
    I don't think I'm crazy, they could have worded it better and made it more clear they meant ALL contacts deleted, not just the ones synched from iCloud.

  • Outlook recurring events not showing in calendar

    Syncing my iPhone to MS Exchange.
    I see in Outlook 2010 calendars, all the recurring events I have.
    In particular, I see some birthdays in the current week, but on my iPhone 4s, running IOS 5.1, I only see a couple.
    More explicitly, there are 2 birthdays on the day that I am writing this question, only one shows on the iPhone.
    Also, one for tomorrow does not show, nor does an anniversary 2 days after that.
    There is no obvious reason for some to show and others to not show.
    Additionally, birthdays do not show up in 'Day' view, only in 'List' and 'Month' view.
    I have tried deleting my Exchange account and re-adding it.
    I have changed all birthdays from 'Private' to 'Normal' confidentiality
    I have tried editing events which don't show on the iPhone, in an attempt to make them appear.
    I can see appointments I create on the iPhone, in Outlook within seconds.
    I delete a test appointment in Outlook and it will disappear on the iPhone.
    I am at a loss.
    An explanation, or preferably, a fix, would be appreciated.
    EDIT:
    I found that 'recurring events which are ALL Day Events' do not show on the iPhone.
    However, I can search for the event and find it, even though it does not display!

    Yes, all of my recurring events that do sync were created years ago in Outlook and I had no problem syncing them to my Blackberry Bold way back when. Initially when I got my iphone 4, everything synced both ways and then this year I got an iPad and intitally everything synced with it via iTunes/outlook with no problem. I've only noticed this problem within the last month or so and it drove me crazy. I reset both my ios devices but I refuse to uninstall and reinstall Outlook or iTunes. I've seen tons of posts on here that say it afffects the cloud, exchange servers and itunes so it's not just us. I've sent feedback to Apple and received no response. Others have too. Apple is aware of it and doesn't have a clue what to do about it. It now affects other events for me so I'm thinking maybe it has to do with default reminders and other things between Outlook and the ios devices. Maybe and update to iTunes or ios6 will change that, who knows. I still love my iPhone and would't go back to Blackberry; it's just way to slow for me.
