Rogue calendar entries from iCal

Let's start with the environment: using a Mac formatted 2nd generation iPod nano. Also use v2.0.4 iCal and v7.0.2 iTunes.
Here's the problem: After syncing using iTunes I have a calendar entry that shows up on the iPod starting on and repeating for every day after January 17, 2007. This entry does NOT exist in iCal. I have deleted the database from the iPod memory then resynced the iPod, but this hasn't helped. If I unselect the calendar with the bad entry from the iTunes sync screen, the rogue entries disappear from the iPod. Conversely, if I only select the calendar with the bad entry, they show up on the iPod again. So the bad entries definitely have something to do with that particular calendar in iCal. I've searched the Net but haven't been able to find a report of anything similar.
Another fun fact is that I exported the "bad" calendar from iCal then imported it under a different name. The rogue entries show up on the iPod for this "new" calendar.
Any ideas or suggestions from you smart people?

Hi, can anyone help? Does apple offer any support in their own 'communities' - still experiencing this probelm & I've had no acknowledgement or anything from anyone at apple or anyone at all......help please - I thought this avenue was going to prove to be very helpful & as a first-time user (as I very rarely have any issues with apple) I must say I'm really disappointed.

I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

Please always post your System details when you have a query. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

Once I updated to OS 6 all my calendar entries from early in the year have disappeared. I need them as a reference and record of activities how do I restore them?

Once I updated to OS 6 all my Calendar entries from the early part of the year disappeared. I need them as a record of PD activities how do I restore the earlier entries. The new future activities are there just the old ones have disappeared.

Well, that would depend on what calendar you are using.
If you are simply relying on the calendar on the device, well, that's not very smart. Restoring from backup should put everything back.
If the calendar is synced with another service, like Google, iCloud, Exchange, do the entires still exist there?
If the calendar is synced with Outlook or iCal on your computer, do the entries still exist there?

Where are my calendar entries from 2011?

I can no longer access any calendar entries from 2011. They are GONE. As a test, I made another entry in the December 2011 calendar, and within five seconds, it disappeared! Where are my entires for all of last year? How do I get them back? I do not have a calendar program on my PC, and I never set any preferences when I installed Icloud, and I cannot access calendars in Icloud without installing Outlook. I dont want Outlook. I want my data back from the cloud! HELP!

You need to find out how the Google calendar application imports calendars from Macs. As for the Calendar itself you can export the calendar to a file. The Google calendar should be able to Import that file.

How do I delete all calendar entries from iPhone 3G S

My iPhone calendar is out of sync with Outlook (2007, connected to an Exchange server). There are appointments no longer in Outlook that are still on the iPhone, and appointments with the wrong time on the iPhone. SO I want to remove all the calendar entries from the iPhone and then redownload everything from Outlook.
So how do I delete all the calendar items from the iPhone WITHOUT deleting them from Outlook or messing with my Outlook profile?

Thanks, Allan. Actually, I prefer to sync my calendar via iTunes because I refresh Outlook and sync via iTunes much more frequently than I fire up VPN to get directly to exchange. But I did use your tip the other way - I turn ON Exchange Calendars to blow away my current iPhone content, then turned it back off to delete the Exchange content. That left me with an empty iPhone calendar that I could then load via iTunes sync.

Under Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, What do you have set for the Default Calendar? Personal?
If you don't have it set to a Cloud Calendar it will only create the entry locally. You would need to select the iCloud Calendar specifically when creating the Calendar entry to have it sync.
Otherwise set your default calendar to be the iCloud Calendar so all entries are created there by default. And as such get synced to other devices.

Thanks Quinn, but it doesn't match what I am needing, so I should explain more clearly.
I am creating a spreadsheet for research references using Numbers. I want to be able to create all the records on the first sheet, and then create subgroups of selected entries on further sheets. I have done this by copying and pasting whole rows, which works, but it means that if I want to update an entry, I have to update it on each sheet: time consuming and prone to error. On other Numbers Spread sheets I have been able to link content in a cell in one sheet with a cell on another, so if one changes, so does the other. I would like to be able to do this with a whole row, or at least a selection of cells in one row.
I know I could use a database, but Im not sure which one. I have endNote and evernote which I use, but I would still like to have a basic CSV data type system so it can be easily shared with other people.
Any other thoughts?

Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Contact them.

ICloud deletes the contacts and calendar entries from Outlook 2010 on my PC, when it syncs. with my iPad. How do I retain the contacts and calendar entries on my PC.

I should mention that i have NOT upgraded to iOS 5 on the 3GS and don't want to. Therefore, no iCloud on the phone.

Cannot sync calendar entries from BB 8520 to MacBook calendar

Recently, not sure prescisely when, my Macbook (OS 10.8) stopped receiving new calendar entries from my BB curve 8520 during a wired sync. There are no error messages, the data flows correctly the other way, and as far as I can see the contacts are updated both ways successfully (though BB Desktop keeps flagging addresses as changed when they're not).
I have checked for BB DS updates, 'latest version is insalled' (2.4.0 build 17), reinstalled it several times (though it is noticeable that doing ths does not delete sync history, is that significant?), and rebooted the phone several times. No difference.
I can find nothing in Knowledge base directly applicable, and trying some likely suggestison like checking default calendar on the phone are either inapplicable or ineffective.
Ideas before I desert to Apple or Android?

Hello Alex,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
Thank you for your question regarding the Calendar synchronization issue you are experiencing when attempting to complete a synchronization of using the BlackBerry Desktop Software.
Have you attempted selecting Forget Device from the menu and reconfiguring the synchronization settings? What is your default Calendar currently set as?

Switch all calendar entries from "private" calender to "normal/standard" ca

Hi guys,
is it possible to switch all calendar entries from "private" calender to "normal/standard" calendar in one step without moving entry and entry for itself to the other calendar?
Maybe in MobileMe?
Thx!

OK,
I found out what was wrong myself.
In the end it turned out that it had nothing to do with the iOS5 upgrade itself.
In case somebody else stumbles accross this very same problem, here's what was going on:
- Within the latest lotus notes client (on PC) the user has the possibility to display (read-only) external calendar contents (e.g. google's calendar).
- When setting this up you need to supply your external calendar's login/password information and next to that
- also have the possibility to select "View this calendar when offline or on a mobile device"
It was this setting (which I probably accidentally enabled) causing the "issue". Deselecting this option made my duplicate entries disappear on my phone.

Calendar missing from iCal's list.

Noticed today that our Work calendar is missing from iCal's list. Checked partner's iMac, iPad, 2 iPhones, MobileMe. Missing from all of them. Turned off syncing with MobileMe on both iMacs & all other devices. Quit iCal/Calendar on everything.
In Finder window selected ~/Library. Entered Time Machine. Selected ~/Library/Calendars. Selected a timeline a few days back. Clicked Restore. Said 'Keep both', & removed original from Library folder.
Opened iCal. When it first loaded the calendars, Work was there, but it quickly disappeared and what's more, events added in other calendars since the timeline date chosen were there too. So there's something else (to do with Sync Services?) I need to turn off or delete....?
I'll be very grateful for enlightenment here.
OS is 10.6.8

These are evidently MobileMe calendars, to which the Apple Tech Note linked to above does not apply; and turning off syncing in System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync has no effect on iCal syncing which no longer uses that method.
This is why your calendar is disappearing: MobileMe sees it as deleted, so every time you add it back in from Time Machine (whereupon it has an earlier modification date than the deletion) MobileMe brings it up to date by deleting it, and also updates the other calendars.
There is a method for dealing with this issue, though it's a trifle complicated and you need to work through the steps carefully and exactly. The process is detailed here:

Remove Calendar Entries from iPod

I've unchecked the Syncronize with Microsoft Outlook option within iTunes, but the calendar entries are still on my iPod. How do I get rid of them?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
With your iPod connected to your computer and updating with iTunes open My Computer, open the drive representing the iPod and delete the entries from the Calendar folder.

Trouble synching all calendar entries from phone to PC

I've just synched my phone to my PC. When I look at my calendar (outlook) on my PC I can only see some of my calendar entries, not all of them. I've narrowed this problem down to the fact that when I make calendar entries on my phone it offers me the option to send the appointment from my desktop, my work e-mail or my personal e-mail. All entries sent via the desktop are now showing on my PC outlook calendar. However, all entries sent via my work or personal e-mails are not showing on my PC outlook calendar.
How can I synch these other e-mail appointments with my PC?
Thanks!!

By "desktop" I am having to assume you're BlackBerry is on a corporate BES enterprise account?
And, in addition to that, you have two other personal email accounts on the device?

Cannot Modify Calendar Entries from IOS Devices or iCloud

I'm not able to modify calendar entries on either of my IOS devices, or when logged into iCloud on a Mac or PC. From iCloud, I receive a message stating that the entry modification cannot be saved due to a server error. From an IOS device, it simply reverts back to the original entry after I click "done."
The only way I can modify entries is through Calendar on my iMac. This seems to have just stared within the past week or so. Anyone one else experiencing this issue?
