Private appointments in bridge calendar

There doesn't seem to be any way to mark an appointment as private in the bridge calendar. The option exists on the Blackberry, but not on the Playbook. This is a useful feature when other people have access to your calendar (BES, Exchange server).

Cheers,
RandomHero, I appreciate that you're posting into a lot of different threads thanking us all for our feedback and telling us that you're constantly improving your products, but I would much rather see actual improvements to the product. At the very least, it would be nice if RIM could actually let us know which improvements are being considered and how far down the line they are from actually being implemented.
The Playbook is basically an overpriced toy for me right now. I bought it because it was supposed to be a "professional grade" business tool but there is absolutely nothing on it that makes me more productive than just having my Blackberry phone. I realize it's a new product and I'm willing to wait a little while for updates, but how long do I have to wait? Are we talking weeks, months, years?
It's been two weeks since I bought it already and all I've heard from RIM so far is "that feature is not supported on the Playbook" on several support calls and now a thank you from you. I've heard from developers that they're waiting for a native development kit to be released so they can port their apps. None of that is very encouraging to me.

Private appointments with Iphone-Calendar

How can I mark a private appointment in my calendar as "Private". I want et to be labelled "private", when my colleagues open my shared calender in Outlook. Is it possible with the Iphone, or do I really need to add the appointment at my pc to mark it as "private". Please help. Thanks.

Again, thanks for your reply, allthough it doesn't solve my problem
I have now posted the following text at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html (hopefully they will add the "!privat-flag-option" in the upcoming softwareupdate):
"I recently became the lucky owner of a brand new Iphone 3Gs. But I'm very surpriced, that it is not possible til flag an oppointment in the calendar as "private". This is absolutely a "need-to-have", if the Iphone is supposed to be used as a businessphone.
Is there a particular reason why Apple has not included this option?"

Private appointments in calendar

I can't find anywhere where to set an appointment as private. I keep looking for it because it's extremely hard to believe this would be left out. Our organization mandates, as I'm sure others do, to keep private appointments in your calendar as well so that others know when you will be out for a doctor's appointments, etc without showing detailed personal information. It's crucial so that others know when meetings can be scheduled, etc.
You can do this easily with any other mobile phone that uses active sync for exchange. I also used this feature when out on the road setting up appointments. If I can't create private appointments, I would have to go back to early 2000 by typing it in notes and then create the private appointments when I get into the office. Huge step backwards.
Anyone find it or have a solution?
Thanks!

This is critical to anyone in a business environment using an iPhone with Exchange.
For those of you that don't understand, setting an event as "private" works best with shared calendars in Exchange. Lets say I allow my bosses to 'see' my calendar. They can technically see everything in detail except for the stuff that's 'private'. The private events appear as mysterious, blocked out time. And that's how it should be. There needs to be a separation of work and personal time in Calendars. And flagging something as Private in Exchange accomplishes this task.
I'm hoping the iPhone guys see this. It's a small checkbox that I'm sure won't take too much effort to release. But adds great relief in the corporate world.

How to display private calendar appointments in Sharepoint calendar view

I found this post about how to setup a sharepoint calendar as a personal calendar within Sharepoint 2013.
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/83366/view-outlook-calendar-in-sharepoint-2013
It works great, but when the logged in person opens it the private calendar appointments only show as "busy" and don't show the details of the appointment. Since the person who's viewing it is the person logged in I would think it would allow the
person to see their own calendar appointments.
Is there a way to allow private appointments to show details in this view?

Hi,
As I understand you would like to show Exchange calendar contents on SharePoint calendar.
I found a similar thread for your reference:

Bridge Calendar - Appointments at the same time

Hi,
I could only find one reference to this issue which was some time ago and didn't really answer my problem.
If I have 2 appointments at the same time on my phone calendar they appear next to each other and I can get to both to view or edit. On the PB bridge calendar one will appear on top of the other and I can only get to that one and not the other (I make all appointments 0 minutes long as otherwise my calendar gets to be too crowded to view properly) .
I have the latest OS for both my BB and PB and would be grateful to know if this can be resolved?
Many thanks, Tom

wow - at the time of this reading we've got 38 views and no replys... does anyone know how to make iCal warn me when I'm double-booking myself? Can I at least get the calendar to say, "This conflicts with an already scheduled appointment." Help, please...

Snow Leopard: iCal doesn't show private appointments of as booked !

Hi Apple-Dev-Team,
one HUGE issue with the new Exchange iCal implementation: I cannot see if a collegue has an appointment at a given time because it won't display private entrys!! that's an absolute no-go for any workgroup/team or enterprise using macs with iCal !!
Please tell me if i've missed some option... If not it would be absolutely necessery for us and all of our customers to see private appointments in iCal because everybody uses its calendar to manage private appointments as well...
I love iCal/Mail much more than Entourage, so it would be really nice if one could fix this issue...
Thanks a lot!
Daniel

Private appointments in ical?

Does iCal on iOS 6 support private appointments? If not when using a local calendar, does it support it when syncing with an Exchange server?
iCal on Mac now supports private appoitments after years of not supporting it. I was hoping that iOS 6 finally solved this architectural mistake on iOS too, but whenlooking at a local calendar on an updated iPad it did not work. I wonder if I did something wrong or if it is still not fixed.

My iPhone 4 suddenly lost all of my appointments on the calendar, any suggestions how to fix this?

MY iPhone 4 suddenly lost all my appointments on the calendar, suggestions on how to fix this?

HI, what exactly makes you think it's a Virus?
Where did you download them from?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Playbook Bridge Calendar Not Showing What's on the Phone Calendar

There are calendar items that display of my Curve 9330 but not on the Playbook bridge calendar . If I open the calendar item on my phone and from the menu select either "save" or "send," the item will appear on the Playbook bridge calendar - but it then disappears if I close the calendar and reopen it, or when the Playbook wakes up after it goes to sleep.
This issue pre-dates the OS upgrade and still exists. For many months, everything worked fine, but then this problem arose.
I have reinstalled- re-Paired, re-booted. I backed up the Playbook, reinstalled the OS, deleted and reinstalled the bridge on the phone, pulled the phone's battery -- whatever I try, I still have the same problem - the bridge calendar does not show what is on the phone's calendar.
Appointments added to the calendar on my desktop (we use Lotus Notes) show up on the phone but not in the bridge calendar.
I don't use the native calendar.

Hi JerryPasternak,
I would recommend contacting BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet support for further investigation into this issue. You can find the contact information here: http://bbry.lv/MgKtEp
Thanks.

Bridge Calendar not synching with device - missing entries

Since the upgrade to OS 2 I have noticed that the calendar does not synch properly. There are entries on the device (and outlook) that don't appear at all in the bridge calendar. What is more strange is that sometimes some of them do...but when the page refreshes (say from waking from sleep) they have disappeared again!
I have updated bridge on both the device (Bold 9780) and the playbook, but no difference.
All the various calendar entries (desktop, gmail etc.) are properly checked off in the device bridge options list.
Starting this as a new thread as I see a number of others have raised the same question some time ago but without resolution...so here's hoping!
Seriously, any help would be much appreciated. It's a pain not being able to rely 100% that the info in the playbook calendar is correct.

Hi Aandras.
I do have multiple calendars, but turning them off and just having the desktop doesn't seem to help.
I did download the bridge update.
Funny thing is that events appear in different views. For example I have an all day event for Friday that appears in the daily view but not the weekly. Also, the event seems to be there but invisible. I had an event from 1500 to 1800 on Thursday, visible on my BB but not on the PB. I then created a new appointment at 1700 on the PB. The PB reports a conflict with a previous appointment...which is not visible!
Let me see what happens next week!

Two days ago, I lost a bunch of my contacts, appointments on my calendar, and my mail is working differently on iPhone! What happened? I didn't change anything! This has happened to other people I know too. How do I get my stuff back?!

File attachments in Blackberry Bridge Calendar

The utility of the Playbook for me depends on being able to open attachments that are in my calendar (Lotus Notes). The Notes calendar sync's fine (BES ver 5.01) with the Blackberry Tour and an attachment can be opened by the device. The bridge calendar entry on first click shows the paperclip icon to indicate there is an attachment but then when the entry is fully open there is none to be found.
Any suggestions?
The way I work (and likely many others) is not print anything, all information relevant to a meeting (that can take place at many sites in a large complex) is put into the calendar entry and at the meeting I can open the attachments. Works well with laptop. The Playbook won't work for me until I can open attachments in calendars in the same way as I can open them in emails.

i have not been able to open calendar attachments yet. what type of attachments are you trying to open?

Is there a way to list the next 5 appointments on my calendar in the notification area?

is there a way to list the next 5 appointments on my calendar in the notification area?

I had that on but it doesn't show anything the reminder only shows up if the event has a reminder set for a specific time. I want to straight up see the next 1,5,... Events in list form. This may not be possible but it would be great. Just like when you are in calendar and display by list.

Hi jordanpaulbrown,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact configuration you are currently using/describing. If you are talking about My Photo Stream, you should be aware that it only stores stores photos for 30 days in order to allow for other device to connect and download the photos. If you would like to keep them long term off of your iPhone, you may want to set up your computer (Mac or Windows) to automatically download them. You may find the following article helpful:
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
If you are running iOS 8 on your iPhone, you may also find the following article about changes to Photos useful:

I Cannon make appointments in my calendar, because I miss in the right corner above the +.

If the + button does not appear in portrait mode try quitting the Calendar app like this:
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
Alternately you should be able to add an appointment by tapping and holding on the date you want the appointment and an Add Event screen should appear.
