Searching Calendar fails to find all events

First, this program is no longer called iCal. I understand the change, but others may be confused.
Second, when searching for all events with a certain word, it is clear that not all events are being returned.
I'm using Calendar under OS-X 10.9.2 and the calendars are iCloud based.
There seems to be no logic to the events that ought to be caught by the search but that are omitted. I'm estimating only about a third of events matching my search criteria (just a word, like "Volunteer") are being returned. I can see all the events with that word in the calendar but they don't all turn up in a search.
I tried re-indexing with mdimport to no avail. This makes Calendar nearly useless, if search is not reliable.

Hi, I also had the same issue with VSC 6.0 where the SVM was not being displayed. Here is the solution that worked for me:Check there is a domain-tunnel created for you vserver. EG cluster1>domain-tunnel show If your vserver is not displayed in the output then create a domain-tunnel. EG cluster1>domain-tunnel create -vserver vserver1 /matt

    I would check, but I believe I have read that the calendar only lets you search back in the current year. You might find additional information about that in the User Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    What happens if you go back to a month in 2013, do you see a date with any events in it? I'm not saying the calendar is deleting data, just that you cannot search earlier than the current year.

  • Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. Any ideas?

    Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. It finds some things, but is not to be depended upon. Any ideas?

    Try reindexing spotlight: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support
    If you still have problems, open Console app, select All Messages, then search for mds in the search field. Then search for mdworker. See if there are any messages indicating it is having problems with certain files.
    You can also delete the index altogether and cause it to reindex with a command in Terminal. I have always assumed the method above will do the same, but I'm not certain. You must run this command while  logged into an admin account. Copy the whole line and paste it into Terminal.
    sudo mdutil -E /
    sudo temporarily elevates your privileges and will ask for your password. When you type it in, there won't be any response in the Terminal. Just type it and hit return.

  • HT1692 I have my calendar sync set to "all events" but I can only see 4 months back, the rest is blank.

    I need to be able to see last years calendar entries. The setting is already set to "all Events".   Still I can only see 4 months back?

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • Latest calendar update not sync all events???

    I just tonight had an update appear on my iPhone for Calendar and like all apps, I updated.  Immediately I got a notice that my calendar was set to remove old items past a month (which I NEVER set - my calendar is always syncing with my home and offices calendars (I have over a dozen) and I NEVER want anything removed.  The message on the screen said to go change this in Settings to "all Events" and then reboot the phone.  I did this.
    Now all my calendar events are gone!  I am terrified this will wipe my events on my computers at home and work that this was syncing to.  Anyone know what the heck is going on?
    I have not yet upgraded to iOS 8 because I wait until all these sorts of bugs are worked out, but when the system tells me I should update an App I believe it…..

    Same issue here. Fortunately the only thing not perfect for me...

  • Calendar does not sync ALL events

    Using Outlook 2007.
    Some events do not sync to the iPhone. I cannot see the difference between those that do sync and those that don't.
    Has anyone else seen this? Any fix?

  • VSC 5.0 Discovery fails to find all SVMs

    Virtual Storage Console (VSC) 5.0 will not discover all of the Clustered ONTAP 8.2.1 storage virtual machines (SVM) in our vSphere 5.5 environment.  The cluster and two of the three SVM names will appear in the Storage Systems inventory, but we are unable to show the third SVM without a direct connection.  We prefer to use the cluster administrative LIF to take advantage tunneled auto-discovery and avoid any issues from direct connections to the SVM.  The missing SVM has a management LIF and the ontapi (Remote Administrative API Support) web service is enabled (verified on cluster via “vserver services web show”).  We also tried restarting the VSC service per the VSC 5.0 with two ONTAP Clusters discussion.What might we be missing?

  • Finding all Calendar Events

    Hi
    I need to find all events in a calendar. Using search for say the Planning Calendar only returns Planning in the event name.
    Making only the Planning Calendar visible means I seem to have to trawl back month by month to find them. Not a great solution as I've just brought about 10 years history over from Palm Desktop (aka Claris Organizer.
    Can anyone point me to some sort of advanced search ?
    Also having found them is there a way mass reallocate them to a different calendar ?
    Many thanks

    Yay. I sussed it.
    Open the Search Result window.
    Tick the calendar in question with others unticked and all its events display.
    Shift click to select multiple events.
    Right click (whoops Ctrl Click) and the context menu allows re-allocation to a different calendar. Cool
    On to the nextissue

  • Is there a way to delete all events with the same title (not added as reoccurring) without deleting one at a time?

    i currently have a calendar synced that has events scheduled in perpetuity, scheduled as individual events.  I would like to delete all events with the same title.  I do not want to delete the entire calendar nor do I want to go into every event and delete individually.  These were not scheduled by me so I do not know how they were added one by one and go on forever but they are NOT scheduled as reoccurring and thus must be modified individually.
    I can do a search and find all events, is there a way to just delete all events with the same title all at once?
    this is a Microsoft outlook synced calendar and I am seemingly unable to delete the events all at one time from Microsoft as well. 
    Please help!

    If you still have access to the Outlook calendar in Outlook, I would delete them from there. There are a number of ways to do that, but if you open the individual event in Outlook, does it show a repeating pattern? If not, then you may have to delete them individually, but that is not that difficult either. Go into the calendar and then change the view to a list view. From there you can sort the view according to subject. This should bring all of these same appointments together in the list and you can select the group in Outlook and delete them. Once you do that, you can change your view back and then sync the phone. That will remove the events from the phone.

  • In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight- does not work

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
    OS Yosemite,
    Finder versión 10.10.1
    Mail Versión 8.1 (1993)
    In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight… does not work. Messages or documents with the search criteria are there and one could find them manually, but the search function fails to find them. Following advice from Apple Support (728965377):
    1. I applied an Apple protocol for adware removal (Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac); I had none, because I had formally utilized a similar protocol that I had found in Internet, actually an app that implemented automatically Apple's adware removal protocol.
    2. I rebuild the post boxes in Mail (Mail (Yosemite): Reconstruir buzones); It took a while but it functioned properly
    3. I re-install the System (OS X Yosemite: Reinstalar OS X); It took about 4 hours but there was no problem whatsoever with the installation.
    Afterwards I searched for messages in Mail, and documents in Finder and Spotlight, without any difficulty. The search function in all of them was working properly. But the next time that I needed to search messages or documents, an hour later or so, the problem reappear and a couple of new issues occurred:
    1. in app RagTime 6.5.2 (Build 1821), www.ragtime.de, the menu bar disappears (it is invisible), when one performs certain operations, e. g., calculating a value with a formula, whether it is in a spreadsheet or some other component (text, drawing, etc.). After touching with the cursor the menu bar is visible again.
    2. after reading an e-mail in Mail or copying an address, this is seeing as a floating object in the finder and over every application. There is no logical way to get rid of the floating object and neither copying or deleting or cutting it. It is not a big issue but nonetheless bothersome.
    3. In Mail, messages with Flag or in VIP contacts cannot be seen in the appropriate folders, only in the Incoming mail folder, together with other messages. It seems to me, this issue is part of same search function problem.
    4. The preview function within Mail does not show the attached documents to a message, whether it is in the IN, OUT or Draft boxes.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try again to re-index Spotlight. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Calendar search fails to return all hits

    I'm using Calendar under OS-X 10.9.2.
    When searching for all events with a certain word, it is clear that not all events are being returned. There seems to be no logic to the ones that are omitted. I'm estimating only about a third of events matching my search criteria are being returned. I tried re-indexing with mdimport to no avail. I can see the events that contain the word I'm searching for, but not all of them turn up. It's very frustrating. The Calendars are iCloud based and synced to my Mac. And of course, there's no search function at all in the Web based Calendar either.
    If search is unreliable, this makes Calendar nearly useless.

    Well to be fair, those two searches could very well return those results..
    searching a database with key like 'Taylor%' and with key like '%Taylor%' are different search criteria, the first is a bit more restrictive so I would expect less returns.
    The real question is... are there really more than 20 entries whose key starts with the string "Taylor"? If indeed you dump the database and find that there are 86 entries whose key starts with the string "Taylor" then its time to complain to Sun.

  • Calendar not syncing all events, and limited search?

    I noticed that the search function on the iPhone only searches a year forward (and/or a year back). Does anyone know whether there's a way to extend that?
    Also: I have iTunes set to sync ALL events in the calendar (I've unchecked the time-limitation box under the "info" section in iTunes); however, scrolling back in my iPhone, I see nothing prior to 1997 -- even though iCal has stuff going back to 1993.
    Naturally, this isn't a major problem. I don't really NEED to have these old, old events accessible on my phone. But it bothers me that they're not syncing, even though I've specifically requested that they do. Has anyone else noticed this?

    Hi. I wanted to post this to say that I do consider this limitation a problem. I am far more likely to want the search feature to find some event or message that is old. Today, we were trying to remember where we had our first anniversary dinner. That doesn't show up in my iPhone search; I have to come back home to the desktop. I hope they will fix this. It's time the iPhone had at least the same search capabilities that my Palm Treo had 6 years ago!

  • Search iCal for all events in a specific calendar?

    Is it possible to search for all events that I have listed in a specific calendar? For example, I have one set up as "guests" and would like to see a list of all the events I have under that. I tried doing an ical search for guests, but nothing came up, as that's only the calendar's title.
    Thank you.

    I thought I was the only klutz who seemed to remember I used to be able to do this, but couldn't figure it out now. This is the second key feature for me (the other being the event info drawer) that's been dropped in iCal 3.0. I'm not sure if the development team is just basically misguided, or if Apple's excuse in the summer about putting off Leopard because programming talents were stretched too thin was, and still is, exactly what's happening.
    So disappointing.

  • 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.

  • Making a list of all events in one calendar?

    Is there any way to ask iCal to generate a list of all events and ToDo's from a given calendar?
    iSync doesn't really support multiple calendars when syncing to Palm OS devices: all events created on the Palm are put into one specified calendar (in my case, it's called "FromPalm"). This means I occasionally need to go into iCal and manually move all of the events and tasks in "FromPalm" to whichever calendar they belong in. The problem is: how do I find all of these events, other than by scrolling through my calendar week-by-week looking? If iCal would show me a list -- like it does for search results --, I could just click on them one-by-one and move each to its proper calendar...

    Hi Mike,
    In the calendar list de-select (un-tick) every calendar apart from your "FromPalm" calendar. Click on the Show Search Results buttom (the one with three dots and lines in the lower right of the window), you should have a list of every event in your "FromPalm" calendar.
    To move several of these events to another calendar quickly, Command-Click the events in the list you want put into a particular calendar. Then Control-Click one of the list that you have selected and choose Calendar and then the calendar you have selected. All the events selected should then be moved.
    Best wishes
