Outlook Deleting Calendar entries on sync

I had been able to sync with Outlook on two different PCs and data would merge. With new iTunes and OS4, whichever PC I sync with data doesn't merge it is overridden by Outlook and entries deleted. No boxes are checked that direct PC to override iPhone. How can I ensure I merge on both PCs?

I had the same issue with the disappearing calendar. I had my entire work and personal schedule on my iPhone.
My computer had crashed and I had to reinstall Outlook. Once that was done, I did a sync with the iPhone....and the entire calendar vanished from the phone!!
I have searched and searched the net to find a way to restore it, but I think it is gone forever. I would have thought it would be part of the backup that iTunes does before a sync...but It won't restore to the phone. I figured out how to 'extract' just the calendar info and it looks as if there are hundreds of entries there...but nothing I do works to either get them back on the iPhone or even save them as a CSV file to import into Outlook.
I am mad as anything to think that I will have to input every entry again not to mention all the ones I will miss, or the past ones that I still needed.

TS3999 I followed all of these instructions, but still iCloud Calendar will not sync to Outlook Calendar. Calendar entries will sync from Outlook to iCloud, but not vice versa. What do I do now?.

When syncing Contacts or Calendars between an iPhone, iPad, or an iPod touch and Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010, changes that you synced to your computer may not appear in Outlook even after the sync has been completed.Try this article to see if it works for you

After switching to iCloud, Outlook 2011 calendar no longer syncs with iCal.

Before iCloud, my Outlook 2011 calendar (Exchange) was syncing locally with iCal, which worked just fine. Once I moved to iCloud, my local calendar was removed by iCloud, and I can no longer sync my Outlook 2011 calendar (Exchange) to my local iCal (I don't want it to sync with iCloud, if that's still possible). How do I get this capability back?

That's not the point.    Before iCloud, Outlook synched with Apple Calendar and/or iCal.    With iCloud, Cal syncs with iPhone and other devices.     Outlook doesn't have to sync with iCloud (although that would certainly be nice).   It just has to continue to sync with Cal, which in turn syncs with devices via iCloud.
But for some inane reason, it doesn't.    If this is Apple's way of forcing people to not use Office and only use Calendar and Apple Mail, they are going to stop the gains they've made in business environments.   Businesses, especially large businesses, use Outlook.   End of story.
Furthermore, Apple's instructions for setting up or deleting iCal and iCloud accounts is complete gibberish. And I'm a tech who has been working with computers for 32 years.   Apple used to be great at making things easy. They now suck at it and are just as bad as Microsoft.

N95 Deleted calendar entries in outlook

Hey All,
We have just moved to daylight saving and all my calendar entries moved with the clock but ended up 1 hr late. SO i deleted them in teh phoen, plugged it in to sync with outlook in my office and it deleted most of my calendar entries.
AAAhhhh, Help, i have lost my work schedule and booking lists form now on. I was albe to stop it, but it started with the future and worked backwards so i lost everything from now on. I have all my past appointments though.
Can any one help me to restore teh lost appointments in outlook?
Mych appreciated yours Nathan,

Hi Thanks for that,
The only file i can access in outlook is the deleted emails file. There is no deleted items file for calendar entries. However i did delete a calendar entry manually and it came up in that file.
Do you know of anywhere else that deleted items may go?
Thanks Nathan,

Please Help Me! I've deleted almost all of my Outlook 2003 calendar entries and can't get them back!

Hi,
I synced my Curve to my Outlook 2003 calendar two days ago, and it worked great. Then I added a few items to the calendar on my blackberry and tried to sync so those new entries would appear on my outlook calendar. I stupidly just clicked through and didn't read the pop up screens because I thought it would just work fine.
Somehow, this move deleted nearly all of my calendar entries on my Outlook, but all of the entries are still on my Blackberry calendar (over 1,000 entries). Now, I can't get them back on my Outlook calendar. I tried just syncing one way from device to Outlook and it looks like it's doing it, but then nothing shows up on Outlook.
What do I do?
Thanks.
Thanks.

In the Desktop Manager > Sync > Configuration, make sure the calendar options are set to override Outlook.
Set it also to notify you of the changes, so you will have to approve any changes.

Pocketmac deleted calendar entries on mac and won't sync events with BB Storm.

I just removed the google sync from my Storm and now Pocketmac is not syncing properly. Basically all my calendar events are still on my Storm (luckily) however pocketmac has now wiped all calendar entries from Entourage! I have tried re-syncing with BB overwrites Mac however this only places one long calendar event (months long) with strange characters in the name (i.e. garbage).
Does anybody have a suggestion for me to try to get my calendar entries back into Entourage and for Pocketmac to properly sync?

What happened is that when you deleted google sync it also most likely deleted the google calendar on your storm and put all of your calendar entries into the Storm's "DEFAULT CALENDAR"
Unfortunately, the default calendar will NOT sync with anything (one of my frustrations with my BB 8320).
Fixing it is somewhat complicated, but this is what I had to do.
Back up your storm with Desktop Manager
Go to Options>Advanced Options>Default Services and set your default calendar to your e-mail address and and your messaging to the same e-mail address
Sync your storm with your calendar (hopefully you have a backup on your computer)
Look at your calendar -- you should have duplicate entries of almost everything, this is OK.
In the calendar hit the applications key (blackberry key) and go to SELECT CALENDAR and select "default Calendar". This will only show you what's in the default calendar and not the new one you just synced.
Go to Date 12/31/2035 -- yes 2035. This should take you to the bottom of the calendar -- I usually do this in Agenda View
Highlight the last date that you have in the calendar and hit the menu key and select DELETE PRIOR ITEMS. This should delete everything in the default calendar.
Now you should have single entries for most of your calendar items. However, there many still be some duplicates, usually recurring items, and these have to be deleted manually.
This is what worked for me
That's what I needed to do, and now it seems to be working fine.

BB device deleting calendar entries dispite "Keep Forever" setting on

OK, here's my plight. I am using the latest o/s on my phones (Storm 9530 and a World Edition loaner, each of which exhibit the same problem) and Desktop Manager 5.0.1. I only perform "wired" syncs using the USB cord (I am NOT syncing wirelessly and I am not on an Enterprise Server). When trying to sync with Outlook 2007, my phone wants to delete hundreds of calendar items that I want to keep. When I cancel out of the sync, and check my phone, the items tagged for deletion are indeed already gone on the phone. All the posts that I have seen on this issue claim that "older" calendar items are being deleted by the user's phone, but mine seem to be indescriminate, in that some are old and some are quite recent. There doesn't seem to be any logic regarding which are chosen for deletion and which aren't. I've checked, and this doesn't seem to be a Memory Manager issue, as I have lots of room in my memory. I have my Keep Appointments setting set to "Keep Forever." My provider (Bell Mobility) is of little help on the issue, and conveniently claim that it is a data corruption problem. If that is true, wouldn't the problem occur consistently, on every sync? My problem seems to go away for days or weeks at a time, then pops up whenever, for whatever reason. Is anybody else experiencing this, and if so, any advice? Help!!!

Yep.. just happened for the several'th time to me also. I also am requesting BB support to identify the issue and rectify it please.. been around for a very long time from what I can see in the various forums.
BB support... please respond so we all can get this working.. Very frustrating to have to keep restoring my calendar.. very time consuming..
Just went through the process once again. It drops repeats though.. bit of a nuisance..
I ensure I regularly back up OUTLOOK calendar to comma DOS csv so I have it just in case.TIP.. ** Watch your Dates To Backup settings on the way through the wizard. Remember that what you put in the backup will be what BB will restore.. I went from 94 deleted to 243 added.. a tad excessive, but BB should clear 60 day stuff I think...
** make sure you haven't stored any calendar items on BB without duping to Outlook .. If there are, make sure you have written them down or something.. maybe write them up in OUTLOOK BEFORE you do the backup.. I ensure I have as few as possible entries only in for just this sort of situation**
Then clear the calendar on the BB..
Then restore your OUTLOOK calendar.
Then sync BB and it will pick up the entries you just restored.
I'm probably just sprouting info I have picked up from several forums, but it works for me.

Can't delete calendar entry

I have some recurring entries in my calendar that won't delete. When I try to delete them, they just remain in my calendar on my 8830, although when I sync with Outlook they won't go there. When I try to open the entry to edit them, I get an error message that says "Appointment deleted externally. changes will be lost and the viewer closed".
So I can't edit them either.
Can someone please help me? I've tried doing a reboot, but that hasn't worked, and I have seen nothing like this on the support boards.
Thanks!

Bump.
I am experiencing the same thing on my 8830 and it is frustrating. I am synching with Outlook via my company's enterprise server and I have marked all of these calendar entries as private so they are not appearing in Outlook. They can't be deleted. I have not yet tried to create/delete a public calendar entry.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Outlook 2007 calendar entries appear in iPhone calendar as invites

Has anyone found a solution to the problem of new entries into my own PC Outlook 2007 calendar (on a university server, not on the hard drive itself), transferred via Microsoft Exchange to my 2.0 iPhone appearing as 'invitations' instead of simply calendar entries? These can't be edited or modified, just accepted, declined or maybe'd. Entries made on the iPhone calendar sync to the Outlook calendar normally, as simple events, not invitations.
I've seen comments about case sensitivity of the log-in ID but mine is simply my lower case initials on both systems.
I spoke to an Apple product specialist -- nice but clueless on this issue.
Any discoveries to share?

Hi!
Sorry If I'm hijacking your thread, but I believe we and another company are having similar issues... It appears sometimes (but not always) a meeting will be accepted on the iPhone, appear on the Calendar but never sync back to the server. The acceptance request on the Outlook side shows "This meeting is not on the Calendar. It has been moved or deleted". If viewing this message on the iPhone, it IS on the Calendar. If viewing in Outlook, it IS NOT. Hope I made that clear??? This is possible to have the reverse where a meeting is accepted in Outlook but doesn't appear on the iPhone. For us (and a buddy with similar Exchange config) this is intermittent and cannot be easily duplicated as most meetings are handled properly. This is effecting multiple users but the only common thread is they all have iPhones running Exchange ActiveSync.
We've already tried different release versions, wiping the device, all the basic stuff. Log files on the Exchange server are clear (no errors).
As far as we can tell, this started happening (or was first noticed) about 3 weeks ago. Nothing has been changed on the server side of things...
Just hoping for some insight, suggestions, or positive thoughts...
TIA!

Double Calendar Entry after Syncing

After syncing today, I now have double entries on my device. They are all future appointments that were on Outlook, not ones I had entered on the device. When I try to delete one says "appointment deleted externally. Changes will be lost and the viewer closed."
Solved!

Existing Calendar Entries not Syncing to iCloud

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7 that has five calendars. I attempted to sync it to my iCloud account today and it only syncs one of my calendars ("Work"). The other calendars ("School", "Home" etc), show up in iCloud in the Calendars sidebar, but none of the entries do. If I create a new event on my phone in any of the calendars, they show up and sync perfectly to the iCloud and to my new MBA (running Mavericks). Likewise, events I create on my MBA and iCloud show up fine on my phone. So, why are these existing entries, for all but one of my existing calendars, not syncing? Any ideas?
I've tried toggling iCloud on and off on my MBA and my phone; signing in and out of iCloud; restarting both phone and MBA.... no luck. My next step is the restore my iPhone, but I'd really rather not do that. I hope someone can help!

I suggest you do the following:
Go to your old MacBook that contains these calendars, open iCal, click on each of your calendars on the left-hand side of iCal and export a backup to your desktop. To do this, open iCal, click on the calendars one at a time, go to File>Export>Export and save to your desktop. Then email each of these backup files to yourself.
Next, open the emails on your new MBA, double-click the attachments one at a time, and select the corresponding calendar on your MBA to import each calendar to. This should import the calendar entries to your Mac and to iCloud. When done, comfirm that the calendars on your Mac contain the events, and check icloud.com to confirm that they appear on your calendar there as well. If they do, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Calendars to off, choose Delete from My iPhone at the prompted, then turn Calendars back on, and if prompted, choose Replace. This will replace the calendars on your phone with the ones on icloud.com.
Oh, I have a good feeling about this! I will try it out and report back in the morning. Thank you so much!

Is it possible to transfer the data from a SharePoint 2013 calendar entry to Outlook 2010 calendar entry?

Hi,
I've managed to Sync my SharePoint Calendar with my Outlook. At the moment it only transfers through the Title and Location of my calendar entry.
Is it possible to transfer the description as per the SharePoint entry so it shows up in Outlook?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you not seen the description of the calendar item synced with the outlook.
I had tested with the issue, the description could sync with outlook.
I created some items in the calendar, clicked the “Connect to Outlook” control, the items synced with the outlook including the description of the items.
Did the issue occur in other calendars? You can create a new calendar with some items, the check whether it works.
You can also check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer”in the Search box.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
You can check the ULS log by the methods here:

IPhone calendar entries not synced with MacBook calendar

I use my iPhone 4S calendar as my primary calendar for entering or modifying events for the simple reason that it's with me most, if not all the time.
But after upgrading my MacBook Air to Mountain Lion last week, calendar entries entered or modified on my iPhone no longer synchronize with the calendar on my MacBook Air. As such, I have to manually make the entries or modifications on my MacBook Air so that the calendar will be updated when I synchronize it with my iPad. Am not using iCloud, so the calendar on my MacBook is a local calendar (On My Mac).
Any thoughts on why this is happening and what can I do to fix this?

I have noticed a problem recently, although I can't absolutely be sure it's related to Mountain Lion on the computer. Perhaps iCloud (which I set up, but am not really using yet).
My specific issue is that if I go into Calendar (formerly iCal) on the mac, and edit an already existing calendar event -- change the time, or move it to another day -- the change doesn't always sync through to the iphone properly.
Example: I had a recurring weekly event for 7:pm on a specific day of the week. The start time got pushed back to 7:30. I changed it on the mac, and sync'd to the phone. However, the change did not get applied to the iphone calendar. If I edit it on the iphone itself, it will sync back the other way correctly.
Same sort of problem occurs if I move an event from one day to another on the mac. I will wind up with it showing up on BOTH days on the iphone. If I delete an item, same thing.
It acts like the iphone versions of calendar entries are write-protected in a way. If I edit them on the phone, the changes stick and sync properly to the mac. If I try to do it the other way around, they do not.

Duplicate Outlook 2007 calendar entries

After installing the iCloud Control Panel on my PC and setting up iCloud to sync my Outlook Calendar and Contacts, I now have duplicate entries for every calendar event and appointment in Outlook on the PC. No duplicate Contacts. iPad calendar is fine. Also, I now only have an iCloud Calendar and iCloud Contacts on the PC. The originals are empty. Not sure if that matters.
Anyway... how do I get rid of all the duplicate Calendar entries?
Should I uncheck the Sync options for Calendar and Contacts in iTunes now?

Ok... I got this mess all figured out.
iCloud set up my Outlook Contacts properly by deselecting the sync option in iTunes automatically. Hence, no duplicates. However, it did not do this for Calendar... hence all the duplicates.
I have since deselected the iTunes sync for my Outlook Calendar but I am stuck with all the duplicates that I will have to remove manually, I guess.
Also, I discovered that I was still looking at my original calendar on my iPad 2 instead of the iCloud version. I had the iCloud option selected in the iPad 2 Settings screen for the calendar but did not have the iCloud Calendar selected in the Calendar view itself. There is a new Calendars button (top-left) on the iPad 2 calendar from which you can select the calendar to view. When I selected the iCloud Calendar, everything works as advertised regarding the automatic sync to and from the iPad 2.
Here is what I found in iTunes before deselecting it and hitting Apply. Notice the message at the very bottom stating that duplicates will be created if this sync is left as is.

Missing calendar entries when syncing

Using windows xp, ms outlook 2007 and iTunes 1.1.3, I am missing calendar entries on my computer after syncing. The calendar entries are shown on the iPhone, but many do not make it onto Outlook on my computer. The sync seems to push onto the iPhone one-way, without updating the computer. Anyone else have this issue? Any solutions?

Update to original post:
Phone is taking roughly 45 minutes to sync, which is awful.
Calendar items are not syncing with Outlook.
Contacts are multiplying with every sync, numbering into the thousands.
My sense is Apple is overwhelmed with these issues. I did the iTunes upgrade yesterday and no improvement.
