Searching in Calendar for 2week+ appointments

Hi guys Hope u can help. I've set up numerous appointments on my calendar, some going 3-4 months ahead of the current date, others just two to three weeks down the line. I often want to check when an appointment was scheduled and want to search for it. In the absence of a search function directly in calendar, the only alternative I've found is the Blackberry search tool. When using this however, it only finds appointments upcoming in the week (1 week from today) and not appointments further than a week away. Hope anyone can help. Much appreciated

I have a service business and have to continually reference client info and service data often going back past 1 year and a lot of it's in the calendar. The reason I have apple devices is because they sync info. OS X on the desktop does this effortlessly, why not ios 6? Wondering if there's an app that can work with ios calendar to search past 1 year. This lack of search capability is reallly limiting!

Set a Default Calendar for New Appointments in iCal?

I never found a post with a sufficient answer to this question. However, it seems as though I may have stumbled on a resolution myself.
iCal has it's own default calendars: Home and Work. I use MobileMe so the MoblieMe calendar is listed there as well. I also have an iPhone 4. I wanted all calendars to syncronize automatically when I create a new appointment on any of the 3 locations (laptop, cloud, or phone). I found that when create a new event in iCal on my macbook pro, it wouldn't update with mobileme or my phone. This was because when I double click to create a new event, iCal automatically puts the new event into my "Home" calendar, even though it was unchecked and not highlighted. As soon as I double click to create the new event, iCal's default kicks in and the Home calendar in the "On My Mac" section suddenly becomes checked and highlighted all by itself and the new event is automatically placed there, never to be updated with the cloud or on my phone.
I think the problem may be related to something I read under "How Do I Set a Default Calendar for New Appointments in iCal?" There a solution given was that the uppermost calendar was being defaulted to and it was suggested to drag the desired calendar to the uppermost position. None of my calendars would drag anywhere. However, I find that if I uncheck Home and Work in the column on the left under "On My Mac" AND then click the arrow so those two calendars are hidden (very important), and then check and highlight the only showing calendar: MobileMe, that (so far) when I doulbe click to create a new event, a new event is created in the MobileMe calendar, and Home and/or Work under the "On My Mac" section never becomes checked or highlighted. So the new event is created only in the MobileMe calendar listed and updates on my laptop, in the cloud, and on my phone.
So far that has been my experience; but, it has been only minutes since I tried that, so let's see what happens after a couple of weeks or so of normal use and see if the problem is actually resolved.

I have been searching for this information for weeks now -- thank you!
This works for Google Calendar as well as for Mobile Me. I'm going to type a little more information here to see if I can help this answer come up more quickly for other users when they keyword search as I was doing.
This answer helped me reset and change the default calendar for iCal. I can now set my Google Calendar as the default calendar in iCal. When I create a new event in iCal, it syncs to Google Calendar as the default calendar without having to choose another calendar. All my iCal new events now go directly to Google Calendar and sync to my iPhone and iPad. I couldn't move the gmail google calendar to the top position, and just unchecking Home and Work didn't change where new events defaulted. Now my new events automatically go from iCal to google calendar, and I don't lose track of any events. I think you can set any calendar as the default iCal calendar for new events using this approach.

Help me to search on calendar for more than one year

I desparately need to be able to search on calendar for more than one year., which was taken away on the new operating system. I have kept personal memories of my husband on there in the notes sections on days when we did things. ( I have also kept all kinds of personal notes, like doctor records or conversations, in the notes of events/dates.) it is a huge loss for me not to be able to search my calendar for more than one year. Is there any way I can do this?

Looking for a calendar for confidential appointments

Hi,
I am getting ready to start a new job and the appointments that I will have will need to be kept very confidential. I was wondering if anyone has see an app that is some kind of calendar that has a password on it. I have iCal on my ipad however, that isn't password protected. If there is a way to password protect it that would be great, but otherwise something that to keep out everyone but me on that specifc calendar. I would prefer free but I know for something this specific it maybe hard to find, so I would be willing to pay for it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You are going to need to take a careful look at options in the App Store (search on Calendar). There are some that appear to support a passcode, but it typically isn't a feature that is front and center. Read the descriptions carefully.
Have you considered simpy setting the passcode on the iPad?

I have added a work colleague to my family's members on iCloud so we can share the calendar for work appointments. However whe heakes purchases on iTunes I now get charged. How can I stop this happening?

ive added my work coleague to my iCloud account so we can share the calendar on our I-phones for work appointments. when he makes a purchase on iTunes i now get charged though so how do I stop this from happening? also can I just share only work appointments or do i have to share the whole calendar with him? Can I select what he sees?

Hi Frantic503,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
When you are the Family Sharing organizer, purchases are billed to your account unless the family member making purchases has an iTunes Gift Card or iTunes credit on their account. The attached article has more information on how this process works.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
What I may suggest in your situation would be to discontinue the Family Sharing and use iCloud calendar sharing. Using this method keeps your accounts separate but allows you to still share your calendar.
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
Have a great day,
Joe

How Do I Set a Default Calendar for New Appointments in iCal?

I have two calendars in iCal. How can I set one to be the default when I create new appointments?

I have the same problem. I have an "Automator" calendar listed under "On My Mac" and my personal calendar listed under "Google Calendar"
I want New Events to default to my personal calendar under "Google Calendars" but the "Automator" calendar is first in the list and I am not able to reorder them (tried drag and drop and renaming etc). And, since I have automator scripts running frequently the Automator calendar is usually the last calendar 'used.'
I cannot find any way to set my personal calendar under "Google Calendars" to be the default for New Events....am I missing something here?

Using Calendar for diary appointments

Is there no way to get week-to-a-view in in the Calendar. My employer has bought us Lumia phones as a diary replacement, but I can't arrange appointments with colleagues if the only options are to see part of a day, or a month view that's too small to read. I didn't like my Blackberry much, but the calendar had much more flexibility and was a working tool. Most of my colleagues still have a paper diary that they try to keep synched with their PC & phone, which rather defeats the object!

When searching the calendar in list view, appointments erlier than a few years could not be found after search. en appointment from 1974 could not be found although it appears in the list.

When searching the calendar in list view, en appointmet erlier than a few years could not be find although the appointmet is listed in the List wiew ???,
An appointment from 1974 could not be found, in SEARCH MODE, although it appears in the calendar.

Pardon me for a moment while I (politely) rant in your general direction...
This type of response is not just unhelpful—it is the antithesis of helpful.
This is a support forum. Its purpose is helping to resolve people's problems. Sometimes those problems are going to require long explanations or lots of information. That either comes out in the original post or over the course of several back-and-forth replies; the former produces long posts but takes less time overall than the latter.
If you don't have the patience to read through a long post, then just move on. Posting a "too long, didn't read" comment adds nothing beneficial to anyone. All it does is reveal that the person who made that comment thinks it's important to tell everyone that their attention span is too short for anything longer than a tweet.
Yes, my post was long. Had you read it, you might have understood why it's so long. I'm trying to provide information that people searching these forums about this problem might find helpful. I did this because when I searched for info on this problem, I found lots of people with a similar problem, but no answers that went beyond "restore from backup". Since that advice wasn't the solution for me, I decided that more information might prompt someone with more knowledge and access than I have to investigate. Since you couldn't be bothered to read it, you clearly aren't the kind of person whose attention I was hoping to catch.
Certainly I could have made the post shorter, but I think putting it into a narrative like this makes it easier to follow and provides a context that a terse recitation of bare facts does not. If you disagree, that's your prerogative, but please don't waste everyone else's time by posting a comment just to say that you didn't read it.
I find it appalling that someone who's able to reach Level 6 on these support forums would post a "tldr" comment. That does not reflect positively on you or these forums.
End of rant.

I seem to have lost the appointments in my Ipad2 calendar for the months of July, August and September. I need to refer back to them, and there are only a few appointments reflected. What can I do to recover this info?

My Ipad2 has recently lost the appointments on my calendar for the past 3 months. I need that content to refer back to. Wheredid it go and can I get it back?

Are they still on your pc's calendar? If so, connect the ipad, go to 'info' scroll down to the calendar and change the setting of 'do not sync items older than....' as far back as you need it

Why don't I have the same options in my calendar for appointments iCloud/iPad

Why don't I have the same opoisions in my calendar for appointments? Online in iCloud calendar there are options to pick from for days of the week and how many weeks to set an appointment. Why can't I do this on my iPhone or iPad? Am I missing a setting to be able to do this? I make most of my apointments away from my desk and would like to send a invitation at that time.

Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal. Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal. Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

No. I tried it on my Time Machine (I had just made one change today, so I knew I would not be left in the lurch if I failed) and when I clicked on restore I got this message:
It seems you have several options. I chose 'Keep Both'. I suggest that you proceed with your search.
Ciao.

Where is a Jewish calendar for iCal?

Search the net for Jewish calendars. Won't take long to find one. Send it to your email, open it and it will be added to your calendar.

Searching iPhone calendar

Anyone know how to actually "search" the calendar on iPhone rather than simply scrolling through the list? I have mine synched with MS Outlook at my office and use this as a database as I have for several years on a Pocket PC. Only difference I've seen is that I can't seem to figure out how to look for something I've done in the past unless I know the specific date.

Hey heartking,
The iPhone Calendar application does not have a search feature.
There is a Software Developer Kit being released, I don't know if this is something that could come from that. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/iphoneroadmap/
You can leave feedback on the iPhone and request features online here:

Is Searching iCloud Calendar Possible?

I love how you can look at your iCloud calendars via a web browser in addition to your iOS devices (iPhone 5/ iPad / etc.)...but perhaps I am overlooking something in the interface...but I cannot seem to do a simple search of your calendar in ANY WAY?
I have converted ALL my Google calendars over to iCloud calendars since Google is slowly eliminating functionality like Exchange ActiveSync...which starts affecting how calendars appear. My wife and I use multiple calendars that we share and love how the iCloud calendars work on our iPhone 5 devices...but I also love being able to access our same calendars via a browser on a PC (Chrome/iE/Safari)...but I seemed to have gone backwards in an important way - I don' see any search function.
I have tried all three browsers (Chrome, iE, Safari) and it does not behave any differently.
Am I mistaken or is this simply something Apple overlooked? If Apple did overlook this feature...is there plans to add it and if so - when?
Thanks for any feedback any of you may provide on this subject.

Using Mac Calendar and iPhone calendar app searches used to work for me in lieu of having a search app in iCloud calendar, but since upgrading to Yosemite my late-2009 iMac's desktop calendar is in a more-or-less constant state of freeze / crash (locks up from 5 to 15 minutes every time I click on the program), displays all the calendars even those that are supposedly hidden, and not all the information from iCloud shows up on my phone (although it does show up on the desktop Calendar for some reason), so I have exactly zero ways left to search. The only thing I can use Calendar for now is to do everything on iCloud or phone then once a day I open the desktop version but only if I need to print (it shows everything from iCloud and the phone and I can turn off calendars I don't want to see, but only from the print menu), and printing now takes 1/2 hour or longer whereas it used to only take maybe less than a minute. I had hoped that OS X 10.10.1 would solve this, but it hasn't, nor has adding an extra 8gb SDRAMM, resetting PRAM, resetting permissions, using Disk Utility to analyze and repair the disk, rebooting, reinstalling Yosemite or anything else that has been suggested to me. The only suggestion I haven't tried yet is a blank install of Yosemite because it would take too long to reinstall everything after wiping the hard drive and I am not sure I remember all my product info for every program on the computer. The 10.10.1 patch solved my stability problems with preview, safari, iPhoto, and my third party software seems to work okay, at least the ones I've used since the "upgrade" to Yosemite. My suggestion is that if you need to use the desktop calendar, stick with Mavericks and wait for Apple to send a patch specific to the calendar problems. Once they get the Calendar bugs worked out, I think it will be a pretty good OS X, although it still freezes more than Lion did (Mavericks had problems for me but not the Calendar).

Search the calendar in treo 650?

is it possible to search the calendar in the treo 650? i used to be able to do it on calendars in the clie.
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Verizon)

I'm speechless that this isn't possible. So if I know I have a meeting coming up in the next couple months, or need to remember if a colleague's birthday is approaching, I can't do it. Arrgh. Thanks for confirming this. Off to the feedback page I go.
