Search won't find an event two years in the future

Normally I can locate future items in the Calendar app on my iPhone 4S by using the search function from the home screen. Recently, however, I entered a repeating event for August 2015, and the search function will not find it. I tried some other actions to try to narrow down the problem, and this is what I found:
When I search for the name of the event, search does find an e-mail with the same word (an all-caps acronym) in its subject line.
When I take time to go to August 2015 and look for the event, it is still there. It also appears in the iCloud version of my calendar.
Search does find other repeating events and other all-day events.
Search does not find a nonrepeating test event scheduled on 10 August 2015.
Is there some kind of restriction on how far in advance the search function looks at the calendar, and if so, does anyone know how far ahead it looks and why a restriction exists?
Or is there another explanation of something I'm doing wrong? It's really tedious to go two years ahead in the calendar, and it would be even worse if I had forgotten the month of the event I was looking for.

I'm having the same problem with the Calendar App but on my iPad. I entered a medical procedure reminder as an All Day Event in Calendar and neither the Spotlight Search or the Calendar search will find it. I know it is on the desired date in 2016 because I have gone to that date on the Calendar and I see it.

  • Bug? My events on the iPad iCal app aren't shown in the year view if they are more than two years in the future.

    My events on the iPad iCal app aren't shown in the year view if they are more than two years in the future even though I can see them on the month, week and day view. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I've tried it all. I called the apple support and they checked on their iPads. They all did the same and they couldn't help me. They suggested trying this way. I'd like to be able to plan a few years ahead and the year view would make thing so easy!
    Is this a bug?

    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.
    Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Ios 7 calendar does not show events 2 years in the future

    Why does ios 7 calendar does not show events 2 years in the future?
    I've entered the events more than twice and it all shows up in the OSX calendar but not on my iphone.

    Just tested it works even 3 years ahead.
    Tap Calendars (bottom, middle) is All iCloud selected (tick mark)?

  • HT2513 Ical sync with iPad limited to 2 years in the future

    Ical sync from Mac to iPad only appears to work for events up to 2 years in the future. After two years from current date no events show up on iPad. Can you increase this to sync events three years into the future?

    Hi,
    Are you following these instructions (I have not done this):
    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/calendar/yahoocalendar/sync/sync-03.html
    Only the CalDAV calendar created with this process should sync.

  • ICal Search won't find events in the "distant" future !!!

    Here's a bit of a disturbing one: I use iCal (Leopard, so iCal 3.0.8 1287) to keep track of many things- not just a meeting next week or a TO DO - but also for long-term planning. I wanted to enter a reminder for about December 2016 concerning social security - but first wanted to check if I hadn't already done this. I typed social in the iCal search box and everything through 2009 came up.
    But, I said, that's a bit strange since I was almost sure I'd put something into iCal already.
    OK so then I went to the date 28 August 2017 (shift-cmd-T) and once there, I did the same search - and voila - my event about "social security" from 17 Nov 2016 showed-up in the serach results section!!! (I later tried going to March 2016 and it worked as well - so seems it has to be within a few months / year from the date-- ?!?)
    Went back to another date closer to today (28 March 2010) - it did not show up.
    For other searches, some events for April 2010 have showed-up; but nothing 3 years in the future.
    For some repeating items I get results showing 2008 - 2011, but never further than that if I start the search on today's date. (I get all events from past dates all the time).
    Another "workaround" is that if I type the word social into Spotlight, it finds the 17 Nov 2016 event.
    Is this a "bug" that iCal cannot find distant future events? Any comments or other people's experience really appreciated. It's not good, this - (like doing a search on an Excel Spreadsheet and only getting recently dated information or something like that. Not good).
    Appreciate any feedback here.

    DID NOT WORK - STILL NOTHING FOR 2016 - 2017
    I suspect this is a bug or a limitation in the iCal program. After 3-4 hours of a rebuild in Spotlight, I tried searching from today's date for social - same as before - gets the past events; but I had to move to 2017 and re-searc to see my 2016 and 2017 events.
    So this is a MAJOR MESS - but or limitation of the program.
    Ah, 1993 there was the wonderful DayTimer program - could assign several labels to each event - and a whole lot more. iCal and Address Book are good - but really need something more - and also an integrated "OneNote" type program to easily handle addresses, events, photos, web sites, eM, letters and much more...
    But back to this issue - it is NOT solve nor resolved. Bit of a disappointment here.
    Any ideas or ??? - let me know!
    Thanks and regards,

  • Sync events that repeats every TWO years on the Google Calendar

    syncing every event that occurs every two year on the google calendar it is repeated yearly on the iphone calendar app.
    but the odds doesn't stop here: if you look into the event detail (on the iphone) it reports "custom : every two year"!
    any idea for resolve this?
    thanks to all

    here`s some more complete information from my client
    - User, in Lotus Notes, uses the agenda and select "Create" "Appointment" instead of "plan a meeting"
    in the appointment, she repeats every 2 weeks.
    after replication, it does show on the blackberry
    When the User add comments in 1 appointment and save the changes, after replication, all the repeatable appointment disapear from the blackberry in the calendar.
    I have tried it on my blackberry ( Curve) and did not have that problem.
    anyone?

  • There has been no signal in Springdale, UT for hours today. there is no way to contact Verizon (Calling or Web Chat). Service has been deteriorating for the past two years in the area. Worse fact is no one at the company seems to care. Right now the immed

    There has been no signal in Springdale, UT for hours today. there is no way to contact Verizon (Calling or Web Chat). Service has been deteriorating for the past two years in the area. Worse fact is no one at the company seems to care. Right now the immediate issue is no service. I cannot do business this way.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

    We have iPhone 4 and I plugged phone into after market hardwired plug in car (that we have used successfully for two years). The screen has gone black and wont turn on.  Phone was charged. I have tried force quit- home screen and top button. iTunes is not recognizing phone when I plug into computer.  help pls

    FIRST charge with an Apple charger for at least 15 minutes. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens the phone hardware has failed.

  • I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years and the apps have worked fine in the past. Suddenly the apps will not launch, they appear to start then just exit. Is there a reason why it is doing this?

     I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years pretty much and the apps have worked fine. Suddenly when I go on an app it appears to launch then just exits. I tried turning the iPod off and on again, but that made all my apps behave like that. Settings and those things work fine still. Should this suddenly happen? I dont want to lose all 204 apps.

    - First try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try downloading/installing a new app
    - Restore from backup
    - Last, resore to factory defaults/new iPod.  this is last result since you will lose app data.

  • Is there a way to schedule an event to occur in the future?

    I am looking for a generic way to schedule events which are triggered in the future (in LabVIEW without using DAQ).
    I already have a way of scheduling future events but it uses a polling thread to keep an eye on the list of times and execute the events and maintain the list. To get higher time resolution it would have to run faster although most of the time there are no events in the queue.
    (An 'event' in my queue is currently a cluster of a future time and a boolean control reference).
    What I would like to do is queue events (could be user defined events) so that they can be posted at future times without a process having to poll for them.
    If I make my polling event wait (e.g. using the ms Timer) then it can't wake up do deal with an event which was queued later but required to be posted sooner.
    Any clues?
    Solved!

    What time resolution do you want/need? Please be specific. (milliseconds, seconds, etc.)

    I think part of the confusion is your generic use of the word "event", while events have a very defined special meaning in LabVIEW. "Polling event" is a contradiction.
    So, first of all, do you even use event structures? Can you show us some code? There is probably an easy solution.
    For example you could look at the array of scheduled tasks and recalculate a new timeout value for an event structure whenever a new task is added or whenever a task has just executed. No polling needed. In the timeout event, determine which task is ready to execute and launch it. (e.g. via a queue or similar).

  • Ical search won't find events

    Just upgraded to a G5-awesome. All calendars seem to have transferred & synced no problem- but today when I tried to search in events & to do's for an event ical came up with with no matches...even when I'm looking at an event with the same title I'm typing in. any suggestions? searches worked fine on my old imac & ibook G3
    thanks
    Carolyn

    Thanks for the reply. Sorry if I have hijacked another thread but my problem seemed so similar......
    Anyway, changing the seach criteria such as events, titles etc has no effect.
    What is strange is that the more info put into the search box the greater the spread of possibles.
    For instance 'whidbourne' will give a single match. 'Whidbourne close' will include all those entries with close in the title. 3 whidbourne close will include all those with 3 and so on. These hits are listed by date so the most accurate match '3 Whidbourne Close' is lost in a huge list.
    Spotlight works the other way. The more info in the seach box the less the matches as one would expect.
    Is this normal? If so Is it just me that finds it strange?
    OK, If I remember to omit numbers and common words such as Mr, road, close etc it will be workable ...... but why?
    Our emac runs Panther with ical synced via .mac with the G5 imac that behaves (to me) strangely and a search in ical will behave as you expect:
    '3'.. gives all the possible matches with 3 in them....by the time 3 Whid is typed in the box there is only one match.
