Syncing calendars ( Past events being deleted)

When i sync my iphone it deletes the previous appointments on that day. i end up with a blank calendar on my computer but the entries remain on the Iphone. Any suggestions?

Found the issue for me. The events are not deleted, but filtered in the standard calendar view. The iPhone shows everything as it should. Outlook 2003 has all the events to as seen when going to categories view.
It seems that once events pass on the iPhone and then a sync via iTunes to Outlook 2003 the "All Day Event" field is removed from the calendar entry.
Creating another Day/Week/Month View in outlook 2003 that has a filter to only include calendar entries where the "All Day Event" field "does not exist" will allow viewing the "hidden" past events.
Hopefully this will be fixed VERY SOON.

Why are random calendar events being deleted from my iphone when I sync it with ical?

My settings are such that events entered on both devices should push to both devices when I sync. The events being deleted from my iphone are not consistent (ie. older than a certain date), they are random.

This happens to me INCESSANTLY. I'm looking at my calendar events one second, and POOF!, the next second all of the events I've entered into the calendar- with the exception of birthdays that are on the actual contact information for a person- are GONE. My calendar settings are set to sync all events- no timeframe- and always have been. This happened to me nonstop on my old iPhone 3GS, and I was sure it was the phone causing this issue. Now, I have my new iPhone 5 in my hands and same ol' , different equipment. I have done EVERYTHING I can think of to prevent this from happening or to restore the data- including rebooting, holding home button and on/off at same time, etc.- and NOTHING works to restore the data. And then, just as magically as the data disappeared, POOF!- the data is back randomly sometime later. That "later" may be 5 mins, a day, several days. This is an absurd and EXASPERATING glitch that APPLE NEEDS TO FIX IMMEDIATELY!!! I'm starting to hate the iPhone and Apple in general when I continuously experience HUGE glitches like this that have a profound impact on what you're trying to accomplish within a feature that you DEPEND on... yet Apple has "never heard of that problem before". You suck, Apple. Don't send your problems out into the real world, to users who just gave you $800 for another glitchy piece of equipment that never solves your software issues.

ICal events being deleted when syncing with Palm Zire 21

I have been syncing my Palm Zire 21 with iCal successfully for over a year with few problems. A few weeks ago I noticed that almost, but not all of the events on both the Palm device and iCal more than three months old were gone. Then, a few weeks later, I noticed that the events suddenly were all back in the iCal application, but not on the Palm device.
But this week, I used HotSync (as usual) to sync iCal and the Palm device, and the events were gone again. Now I am wondering what on Earth I am doing to cause this. I have read the articles about setting up to sync. I double-checked to be sure I have been syncing the way that is outlined in the instructions in the help articles.
I must have missed something vital. I have been backing up my iCal to my .Mac account using Backup. I am thinking that I can restore the iCal events using my last backup. Can I? And how do I keep this from happening again?

Treo 755P Calendar repeating events being mysteriously deleted

For some reason I can no longer create an event that repeats weekly or every other week. I can create an event that repeats daily but when I change to weekly or every other week the event is deleted. This just started happening a few days ago. I tried backing up, then doing a hard reset then reinstalling just my contacts and calendar and the same thing keeps happening. Has any one else experienced this? Please don't tell me the only solution is a hard reset and manually entering all of my calendar events past and future.
Thanks

Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

Well, not to split hairs, but the actual issue is with the fact that apple does not sync properly with Treo's using the native iSync application. Due to the known issue, Apple itself pimps The Missing Sync as a "Productivity Tool." http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/productivity_tools/
Due to this fact I was hoping for a response from someone here who could help me with this.
I will certainly look around in the Mark Space forum; however, if anyone here could help me i would really appreciate it.

Past events are deleted

Hi,
I noticed that my past events are suddenly not showing up in iCal. Actually, this is true only of the calendars I've created myself, not the ones I subscribe to. Could I accidentally have changed some preference? I tried quitting iCal, changing the date to a week ago, then reopening iCal, and the events of last week still didn't show up. Ideally I would like to retrieve those past events, but at the very least I'd like to figure out how to stop this from happening so I don't lose any more. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Cari

Welcome to the discussions, Cari.
Look in Preferences/Advanced and see what setting you have for "Delete events n days after they have passed"

Why are events being deleted in my history (prior months) on iCal?

After downloading iCloud, I've noticed that any even scheduled in prior months has been deleted. I like to keep this info for reference points in my business. Can someone please give me advice on how to keep all past events on my Ipad / iCal? And how can I restore these past events onto my iPad's iCal? They are still showing up on the iCal on my iMac, which is really confusing! Thank you!!!!

sorry, "I've noticed that all the event scheduled in prior months have been deleted"....

HT1692 how do i stop my calendar events being deleted automatically after a month or so?

I cannot keep calendar events - how do i change this , it should be so simple.

If you normally sync to your computer via iTunes there is a setting in iTunes for how many days back you keep calendar events.
If you don't normally sync to your computer I'm not sure if there is a way to keep calendar events around longer.

Calender events being deleted on sync?

Hi
Our workplace uses Iphones (v4) and Exchange for the mail.
Recently Iphone users have been reporting that entries made into shared calenders are missing.
I suspect that when the users of these phones have been syncing their phones with their Itunes at home this is somehow wiping events off their calenders here at work.
Is it possible this could be happening or can anyone shed any light on this please? Sorry I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of Itunes........for both users it seems they have synced recently to their home macs/pcs.
Thanks for your advice
Mike

(BTW, I cross-posted this as https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3078718 just in case the iPhone experts have any insights...)

Calendar Paste events question

I am in month view. I have to copy and paste multiple events over the coming 12 months, starting with some things in September ... but I cannot work out how to do such a simple thing!
1. How do I copy an event including it's repetition data?
2. How do I paste an event into a specific date? The context menu seems to paste into a random location ... I have not worked out how, in month view, I can click on a date so that it becomes the target for a paste operation.
3. If there are no actual solutions (to copy & paste!) then is there any 3rd party app that will allow modification of the calendar data? I still want to use calendar to share/view etc. ... it just seems to be so focussed on lots of individual meetings made in the near future.
Thanks.

1. Try holding down the option/alt key and drag below original.
2. After copying, open the event and reset the date.

Syncing Calendar invite/events issues

Some background....(follow with me as I have a bit to explain)
I am running Exchange 2007 and syncing email, contacts, calendar and most works fine. I am also using Outlook 2003 on my desktop.
I have discovered a bug with the Calendar though (and reported to Apple). If I accept an invite using the iPhone, then the meeting Organizer on the Outlook Scheduling tab is shown as me.
This is a bit strange and makes it confusing when viewing attendee availability. In Outlook, the appt. tab lists the real organizer, but the scheduling tab does not, and has my name listed instead.
So, due to this bug, I accept all appointments via Outlook now. The effect of this though, is the iPhone shows some appointments as tentative and some invites as not having been accepted yet. If I accept the invites on the iPhone, then the scheduling tab is messed up in Outlook.
Does anyone else have a way to force the iPhone to sync its calendar with Exchange? Or any way to avoid accepting invites on the iPhone?
I can reproduce these bugs at will, and they exist on set up as new, and restores on 2.1 and 2.2, maybe further back, but there were other calendar bugs further back, so no point in dwelling.
Thanks for any ideas, I suspect I am out of luck until the next release.

I anxiously wait to see if you get a response to this...I have been sumarily dismissed on this topic.
Yes, I am having the same issue and have pretty much tried everything I can think of and every suggestion I could find...anyone got a fix, I would like to use my device only (like I used to) but do need to go back more than a couple of weeks to research/remember.

TS3999 why does the calendar delete past events?

why does the calendar delete past events?

Hello 123Giblet,
The iPhone has a setting for how long a past event will appear in your calendar. I found steps to help you change this setting in the iPhone User Guide:
Calendar settings
There are several settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars that affect Calendar and your calendar accounts. These include:
•Syncing of past events (future events are always synced)
•Alert tone played for new meeting invitations
•Calendar time zone support, to show dates and times using a different time zone
When you tap on Sync, you will be given several options for how long you want past events to stay on your iPhone, and there is also an option to select All Events so that they remain on your calendar. You can find this information on page 69 of the iPhone User Guide
iPhone User Guide

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Can you add a past event Into iCal? I want to do this for record keeping.

I want to add past events to my icalendar for record keeping. When I try it disappears right after I add. Can I do this?

You don't mention your OS or iCal versions but, based on my own OSX.6.8 and iCal v4.0.4 (1395.7) then go to ...
iCal > Preferences > Advanced
... and look at the Option for Delete events n days after they have passed and ensure that either the option is not checked (which should keep past events for ever) or set to the number of days after which you are happy that past events get deleted.
Other parameters can also be set for the treatment of To Do items within that same preference panel.
I guess, although I do not know, that other versions of iCal and Calendar have similar options somewhere within user customisation.

TS3999 Deleted past events from shared iCloud calendar. How can I get them back?

I have accidentally deleted all past events from shared iCloud calendars when removing from one mac. How can I get them back?

ronylouis wrote:
i deleted notes fom my old iphone and surprised to see that they have been deleted from my new phone ..how can i get them back ...i dont have any backup??
Why would you be surprised? You were syncing your Notes with iCloud or a Mail Account. Synchronization means when you make a change on one device, it affects all other devices that are synched for the same purpose. Like when you delete an email (usually) it also disappears from your other devices as well.

Delete a calendar without deleting past events? (iCal 5.0.3)

Hi,
Is there a way I can delete one of my calendars on iCal without losing all the past events? Right now, if I just delte it I get a warning that all event in that sequence will be gone.
Thank you

Actually, I've figured it out. In order not to lose the past events in a calendar I can export the whole calendar. Delete it, then Import it into a calendar that I don't want to delete. This way all the past events will remain.

Ios 7 calendar list view only go back 12 months, how can I sync all my past events

My iphone 5 ios 7 calendar only shows events for past 12 months (ios 6 could show events from the beginning, about 6 years). I uninstalled and reinstalled itune and related Apple program, also disable add ons in outlook 2007, where calendar and contacts stored. Now the calendar shows all my past events after I reset sync history in itune but calendar list still only shows past 12 months. Even the search won't bring any thing that is older than 12 months.
I really really miss my old calendar, so frustrated with ios7, can anyone help me? Did I do anything wrong or missed anything?

In my calendar viewing in a list, I can see days back and forth.
View a list of events. In month view, tap to see a day’s events. In day view, tap .
Sorry, the icons are missing above, see this help link:
