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:

  • How to search event more than 1 year ago in Iphone calendar?

    Everytime I forgot events in the past, let say more than 1 year ago, I always search in calendar outlook. But I cannot find it in Iphone. Anyone know how to solve this?
    Thanks.

    I just tested mine, and you are right. While I generally only sync and have the restriction in iTunes set for calendar not to sync more than 30 days, I found a recurring birthday event and it would only return the event in search to 2009. I never knew that. I guess we could provide feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feeback/iphone.html

  • IPhone Calendar List View Extends Back Only One Year

    My iPhone calendar List view extends back approximately one year despite the fact that I have calendar entries extending back to 1999 and that older data is visible under the Day and Month views. This is a problem because the only search mechanism in iPhone calendar is through the List view. Therefore, any search I conduct extends back only to the data in the List view ... which means back only one year.
    Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how I could change this such that the List view extends to include ALL of my calendar entries and is in conformity with the Day and Month views? (I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to "correct" this, but perhaps Apple has designed it this way to speed-up the searching in List view ... I'm not certain.)
    I am currently running the most recent iOS update, am syncing my iPhone calendar via MobileMe, have upgraded to the new version of the MobileMe calendar, and have ALREADY reset my sync. history, deleted my iPhone calendar and re-synced it, etc. These don't resolve the problem.

    I've noticed that the date to which the List View will "look back" will change depending on software updates or syncs.
    For instance, a few weeks ago my List View went back to December 2009 ... now it goes back to Jan. 2010 (i.e. I lost a month of "look back"). I do not specifically recall what triggered this change, but I reset my sync. log during this period.
    If you make no changes to the sync. log or update the software, the List View start date will stay constant I believe. For instance, if the List View goes back to Jan. 1, 2010 right now it should stay that way until you reset the sync. log or update the iPhone software. Theoretically then the List View can "look back" much longer than 12 months assuming you make no changes to the sync. log or update the software. Of course, this doesn't address our issue here, but I thought I would point out that there seems to be a consistent pattern here and not some random bug screwing things up.
    I'm still thinking that this is the way Apple intended it to work. In other words, that Apple felt it necessary to limit the calendar search feature to approximately 12 months worth of calendars. I hope I'm wrong.

  • After installing iCloud on PC, appointments are grayed out in my Outlook iCloud calendar; don't show up on iPad calendar but do show up on iPhone calendar

    I have been working on this issue for DAYS and have searched the web and this support community but can find no answers.  I have a PC, iPad, and iPhone.  I installed iCloud on my PC so that I could sync calendars, contacts, and maybe tasks.  Nothing I have tried has worked.
    The iCloud calendar that appeared alongside my Outlook calendar on my PC has all of my Outlook appointments - but they are all grayed out.
    The appointments that were on both my iPhone and my Outlook calendar are now grayed out on my Outlook calendar - but if I close my iCloud calendar in Outlook, these appointments are no longer grayed out.  These appointments now appear twice on my iPhone.
    The appointments in my Outlook calendar appear in my iPhone calendar but do not show up in iCloud in my web browser nor on my iPad (not even grayed out).
    My contacts appear to have synced from Outlook to iPhone - but have not synced with iCloud online nor my iPad.
    This is beyond frustrating.
    Some basics:
    Windows 7 Enterprise, 32 bit
    Outlook 10
    iCloud is enabled on the iPhone and iPad
    phone and pad operating systems are up to date
    I turned off and then restarted my iPad - didn't work
    I turned off and then restarted my PC - didn't work
    I uninstalled and then reinstalled iCloud on my PC - didn't work

    I'm having the identical events...Outlook calendar entries grayed out on my PC installed iCloud and absent on my iPhone. iPhone entries do show up in Outlook.

  • Searching in Calendar

    If I am looking for a calendar entry I've made on my iPhone but can't remember where it is (which day), how does one search within this function? There is no "search" mechanism that I can find. There must be an easier way to locate rather than scrolling through every entry on your calendar. Did Apple provide a "go to" type feature? Thank you.

    No, there is no search function in the iPhone calendar.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
    In the meantime (i.e. until Apple implements it on the iPhone) you can search for your missing event in iCal on your computer (there's a search box at the bottom of the iCal window).

  • Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars.  I am not running exchange server.

    Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars?  I am not running exchange server.

    hello,
    BlackBerry devices do not support ActiveSync.
    you have several ways, from best to less good :
    1)
    if your company has set up Outlook Web Access, you can use the BIS connection of your device to connect to the Exchange server (email + Address book) through the url of the Outlook Web Access. The OWA needs to be accessible from outside the company.
    2)
    if your company has setup an external link to the exchange server (can be accessible from outside the company), you can configure your BIS directly to the Exchange server (email only if I recall correctly)
    3)
    if your company allows it, on your PC you can setup your email account to automatically forward all incoming emails to a third party email (like GMail or Hotmail), and then configure BIS to connect to that email provider. You will get push email. You can then setup a reply-to: field.
    4)
    use a Windows Mobile phone that has the ActiveSync feature.
    The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

  • Searching in calendars - won't find events #Driving me mad!!

    Hi!
    When I search for certain events in my iphone calendar it is unable to find them! why is this? This is so disruptive to my business! I have lost a lot of work over this.

    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.

  • Convert iPhone calendar file to importable iCal file

    For reasons which would take waaay too long to describe here, I find myself in a situation of having to import an iPhone calendar file (Calendar.sqlitedb) into iCal. I've saved the iPhone file to my Mac desktop. The iPhone file is an SQ Lite database file.
    I was taken aback to find that this is not one of the formats iCal is designed to import! I found an application (iCal2SQlite) which goes the other way, but I can't find anything which goes the way I'm needing.
    Does anyone know of a way to convert an iPhone calendar file into something iCal can import (like maybe an Outlook calendar file)?
    Many thanks!
    (P.S. Just so you know...importing the iPhone file into iCal is the ONLY option I have. As I said, it would take too long to explain why that is...but unfortunately that's the bottom line.)

    Dogger, I wish I could help, but I searched for days on this, and posted both here and on the iPhone discussion, but I didn't find a solution. I also went to the Genius Bar at the local Apple Store. No luck there, either.
    I ended putting the events in by hand from 1/1/09 on...but I lost everything prior to that (although I still have the calendar database file on my Mac).
    Definitely an oversight on Apple's part, I'd say...

  • 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).

  • Outlook Calendar stopped syncing with iPhone Calendar

    I deleted a recurrent event on my iPhone and this action appears to have confused the sync capability between my iPhone and MS Outlook Calendar.
    Outlook still tries to find the recurrent event on start-up even though it is not shown in Outlook Calendar.
    More concerning is that new events and changes in Outlook Calendar are no longer syncing with iPhone Calendar. The time to complete the Calendar sync activity is noticeably longer than any of the other sync actions, which suggests that there is a problem.
    I have been through the restore routine in iTunes and also attempted to replace all the Outlook Calendar data on the iPhone using the Advanced facility on the iTunes Info tab.
    I appreciate that this may be an Outlook issue but are there any other things that I can try to restore the sync capability between the 2 Calendars.
    All other sync functions appear to work ok - I have created and deleted Contact data from both Outlook and iPhone and this works fine.
    Grateful for any help!

    I'm not sure if this will work for you. It seems every time I research a problem, everyone has a different solution that doesn't work for everyone. (I just spent an hour and a half searching for a solution in various forums.) But this one just worked for me.
    I went into iTunes, into the Devices page for my iPhone, then to the Info tab. I unchecked Sync Calendars with Outlook. A pop-up appeared saying, I believe (I didn't write it down) "Do you want to delete previously synced calendars on the iPhone" - or words to that effect. Since I hadn't entered anything directly into the iPhone calendar in a while, I clicked Okay. Then I clicked on Apply (lower right corner of iTunes). The iPhone synced, and all appointments disappeared from the iPhone calendar. I then rechecked Sync Calendars with Outlook, clicked Apply, and the iPhone synced once again - and all my Outlook calendar appointments appeared on the iPhone.
    This was, I admit, after having deinstalled all Apple software from my PC and reinstalling it. That didn't work on its own (still couldn't sync calendars), but I don't know for sure whether it had something to do with the success of the de-sync / re-sync.
    Good luck. These solutions always seem to be hit-and-miss.

  • Sync iphone calendar with outlook 2010

    Having a bit of trouble getting this to work. It's on the bosses PC so I don't have much time at his PC to troubleshoot.
    Running Windows 7 and outlook 2010 (all updated) POP account , hosted by godaddy
    Everything sync's fine except calendar appointments from the iPhone 4 to Outlook.
    I am currently loading outlook on my PC to recreate the problem and/or find a solution.
    He says it used to work, but when iOS 5 came out, it got broken a few months ago
    I did find some articles about loading the iCloud control panel to adjust settings on the calendar sync, so that's the first step.
    We also discussed a real Exchange account, but that is not in the budget for now. (hosted email) it would solve other problems too.
    any help would be appreciated. forgive me if this have been solved before, I haven't found anythin recent on the search.
    Thanks

    iCloud control panel seemed to fix this issue. Now I have to figure out how to merge all the new iphone calendars showing up in outlook

  • Old entries in the Iphone calendar disappear?

    I just discover my old entries in the Iphone calendar (those more than a month) have disappeared. I’ve done some online search and read that I can adjust the settings in “Sync” by going to ”Mail, Contacts, Calendar”. However, I can only see “New Invitation Alerts”, “Time Zone Support Default” and “Alert Times Sync” when I clicked into ”Mail, Contacts, Calendar”. Why? I’ve already done all the updates. What should I do now so that those old entries in the calendar wont disappear?

    Under the setting app in on the iPhone, go to the mail, contacts and calendar heading. At the very bottom of the calendar settings, do you have time zone support turned on?

  • How to sync an iPhone calendar to an iPad?

    I've got an iPhone with a calendar full of events. Don't need a desktop calendar since the iPhone is always with me and does a great job.
    Got an iPad and can't get the calendar on the iPhone to sync with iPad anyway.

    For me the ideal solution I'm in search of bypasses the requirement of centralizing my calendar on some desktop PC app, or Google Calendars, or Mobile Me (although I would pick Google Calendars if I had to choose since I already use Gmail).
    I just want to have the "bulit-in" iOS calendar app data sync between my iPhone and iPad (without paying for MobileMe). This really should be a no-brainer with iTunes being the hub but I am stuck.
    Even if I did make a move to centralize around say Google Calendars to act as the sync hub, how would I export my iPhone calendar data to import to Google Calendars? What would be the steps?
    Regarding the restore question: iTunes does a backup with every daily iPhone sync I do. I had to restore the iPhone in 2009 but was able to restore from a backup file so I didn't loose any calendar data or any data for that matter (eg, Notes, SMS messages, etc.)

    Edit: the iPhone calendar works perfect with my MobileMe account, but I want it on Gmail as well ( if not both is possible I would prefer Gmail )

    I tryed to add my gmail account to the microsoft exchange as it says in on of the links above, but the only thing that happend was that i got all of the email contact on gmail addon on my iPhone, which was really annoying since i cant call an email adress.
    Anothing thing I would like to add is that i also would like to sync my contacts to Gmail.
    I am fully aware that I have MobileMe, but I would like to have it synced to Gmail because thats what I use each day and I have 2-step-authentication.

  • Where do i view iphone calendar on pc, it's not on itunes

    where do i view iphone calendar on pc, it's not on itunes.  it is supposed to be backed up somewhere on my pc labrinyth but search does not find it.

    The iPhone's backup is in a SQLite database format. You can't view your iPhone's calendar data from your iPhone's backup.
    Do you have an Apple iCloud account along with syncing your calendar events over the air with the account on your iPhone?
    If so, do you have Outlook available on your PC?
