Syncing Recurring Events

I have an iPad connected to my work 2007 Outlook via Windows 2003 Exchange Server. Everything has synched just fine except one small glitch. My recurring Calendar events aren't in my iPad calendar, just my Outlook one. All one time, stand-alone events sync fine.
I recently tried synching my Evo 4g, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
OS Windows 7, Office 2007. Not getting any error messages.
Any ideas?

What do you mean "correctly". If I enter a recurring (weekly) event in Outlook at say 8pm every Monday from February till December, then Outlook calendar propagates it at 8pm every Monday from February till December, and I can see it on each Monday regardless of whether it's standard time or summer time. However when I sync with the iPhone calendar through iTunes it transmits just the start date/time and end date, and the iPhone then recreates the series of events (provable because it creates occurences that I have deleted on Outlook). However it propagates the UTC time at the start date, and gets confused by the change to Summer Time in March (and Ocotber). The iphone "corrects" the (UTC) time for Summer Time so it starts at 8pm, all summer the event appears at 7pm, and goes back to 8 in November. I have tested across both boundaries - if a recurrence starts in summer time at 8pm then from November it gets an hour later, 9pm. And you can't solve it by turning off Local Time handling on the iPhone because then all individual events through the summer are an hour out. This is a bug.
Workaround - enter separate recurrent events for each time period, so in a calendar year 3 events: Jan-end March, April-end October, Nov-Dec

How do i get calendar syncing recurring events from outlook to iphone to handle daylight saving time

When I sync recurring events of my PC Outlook on to the iPhone calendar they appear one hour later during summer i.e. between Mar 26th and October 27. I have a weekly thing every wednesday at 8pm that appears at 9pm in summer - so outlook seems to be sending the info in UTC time but the IPhone isn't compensating for summer time.

ICal can't sync recurring events to Exchange 2013

My iCal on my MacBook keeps crashing when trying to sync recurring events...
Upon adding the Exchange account all events sync but after a while there pops up a message saying: "iCal can't save the event *Event Name* to the exchange server"
I tried to Revert to Server and tried Try again but all of that didn't help. After a ignoring all the popups from all the recurring events my calendar won't synchronize at all anymore..
We have had no problems about a month ago when all was still running on Exchange 2010 so i think that might have to do something with it.
I'm currently running the latest version of iCal and also the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion.
Anyone got any ideas how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

I have same issue to the tee! (Mac Pro 2008 running OS 10.8.5).

Changes made to recurrent events in ical and/or iphone 4 will not sync since upgrading phone to iOS 5. I have an old macbook pro and it is running snow leopard OS 10.6.8. I have a minimum of 40 recurring events per week, several of which change.

since upgrading phone to iOS 5. I have an old macbook pro and it is running snow leopard OS 10.6.8. I have a minimum of 40 recurring events per week, several of which change. I use the information to schedule future appointments based on those changes and it's causeing a major problem to not have the changes sync. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Did you try to replace the calendar info on the phone with the one on your Mac? You can find this option in iTunes/Info pane, Advanced section.

When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer" most of which are years old and many are recurring events. I'm afraid to proceed

When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer" most of which are years old and many are recurring events. I'm afraid to proceed with sync.

Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

Sync Failure - The following recurring event could not be synced

Hello from Olympic London,
My 9900 T-mobile (software 7.1.0 bundle 1149) and Desktop (7.1.0.32) are giving me hassle. When trying to sync Outlook I get Synchronisation Error - The following recurring event could not be synced: 01/01/1900 - HGT Band Practice. Remove the event and sync again. In the settings, I asked it to sync only future events. I OK'd the message but it recurs each time.I have deleted the recurring event from both BB and PC.
Sorry if this is an FAQ. I have searched for it.
Please be nice to the newbie!
Edward

I have the same problem on my Torch 9810 using AT&T. Not only has the event been deleted from both Outlook and the device, but it is also from March, more than the 3 months old most events are kept, and Outlook is also set to only sync future events. No future dates are now syncing at all. Someone please help!

Sync end date of custom recurring events? - Outlook to iPod touch calendar

I've been having a particular problem with my "nonstandard" recurring appointments in Outlook that give rise to a custom recurring definition in the iPod touch I just got (software 2.1.1) when I sync with iTunes (8.0.0.35) on Windows XP by USB - I can't seem to get the end date (when there is one) to be sent to the iPod! So, for example, if I have a standard once a week event over the summer, it ends properly based on the end date, but if I have say an event every Monday and Thursday over the summer, the iPod has a "custom" recurring event definition created, but no space and no evidence of the end date, and the events keep getting shown after the Outlook defined end date (continuing after summer in this example).
I tried something called CompanionLink to see if I could get a more thorough sync, but it seems to rely on the iTunes sync. I had become used to Pocket Informant on my old Pocket PC (until the Pocket PC was just crashing too often to be functional, thus the recent purchase of an iPod touch - which even if the calendar won't sync completely has allowed me to move enough programs off the Pocket PC to have it trimmed down and working better again!). I hear the people that make Pocket Informant are working on an iPhone / iPod touch version.
In the meantime, any suggestions about the lack of end date syncing for custom recurring events, other than waiting for an Apple update (how, by the way, can i make a request to Apple? - it wasn't too clear to me on this website).
Thanks!

How do I change a recurring event on iPhone 5 which syncs with Google Calendar. As soon as I change it on phone it reverts back to original. Works on pc perfectly.

Help. How do I change a recurring event on iPhone 5 which syncs with Google Calendar. Just reverts back to original. Work perfectly on pc.

Do you happen to have Dial Assist on? This is in Settings>Phone. This is what helps the phone identify international numbers when dialing, based on location. See if turning that off/on makes a difference. Unless you are making a number of international calls, I believe this can be left off. See the User Guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf Page 49 has info regarding Dial Assist.

Outlook Sync of recurring events

Do any of the newer phones solve the problem with syncing advanced recurring events with outlook?
An example is a recurring event that occurs on Mon, Wed, & Fri.
My current 6102 only sync's the Monday instance. The work around is to create 3 seperate recurring events in Outlook, but I would like to get past this.

we have the same prob with older and the latest phones

Can't Sync BB with Outlook - says recurring event could not be synced

I used to be able to sync my Q10 -9925 with outbook then all of a sudden by calendar wouldn't sync and i get "Sync was unscuccessful, The following recurring event could not be synched: "01/10/2013...". Remove the event and sync again. However, this event has been removed and I still can't sync. I have removed all of the recurring events for this item with still not success. No calander entries are transferred from PC to phone.
I have tried reinstalling Link and wiped the phone - still same error.
Link is version 1.2.3.56
Software is 10.2.1.2977
Also getting periodic Connection Error with Link stating - There was a problem accessing the drive(s) on this device. Disconnect and reconnect your devisce, and try again."

Thanks, I have fixed problem. I had to archive the calendar on outlook then completely wipe it. For some reason it appears that something was still in outlook that was keeping the bb from synching.
Tip - be careful about deleting recurring events.

How can I get all of my calendars and recurring events to synch via iCloud with my iPad2?

Not all of my recurring events sych via the iCloud with my Mac and IOS devices - most specifically my iPad2. For example, my anniversary appears on my Mac and my iPhone, but not on my iPad2.
I notice that when I click on "Calendars" when the iCal app is open in my iPhone I get 2 lists of calendars - one that is labled "On my iphone" and the other that is labled "iCloud". The same two lists appear in the iCal app on my Mac. But on my iPad2 the only list that appears is "iCloud".
Can anyone help with this issue?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Contacts aren't backed up and therefore aren't restored from a back up either. They are synced with the cloud, so after you have restored your device you should be able to sign back into your account and turn syncing back on again. If you need to check if your contacts are in the cloud, go to iCloud.com on a computer.

Outlook recurring events not showing in calendar

Syncing my iPhone to MS Exchange.
I see in Outlook 2010 calendars, all the recurring events I have.
In particular, I see some birthdays in the current week, but on my iPhone 4s, running IOS 5.1, I only see a couple.
More explicitly, there are 2 birthdays on the day that I am writing this question, only one shows on the iPhone.
Also, one for tomorrow does not show, nor does an anniversary 2 days after that.
There is no obvious reason for some to show and others to not show.
Additionally, birthdays do not show up in 'Day' view, only in 'List' and 'Month' view.
I have tried deleting my Exchange account and re-adding it.
I have changed all birthdays from 'Private' to 'Normal' confidentiality
I have tried editing events which don't show on the iPhone, in an attempt to make them appear.
I can see appointments I create on the iPhone, in Outlook within seconds.
I delete a test appointment in Outlook and it will disappear on the iPhone.
I am at a loss.
An explanation, or preferably, a fix, would be appreciated.
EDIT:
I found that 'recurring events which are ALL Day Events' do not show on the iPhone.
However, I can search for the event and find it, even though it does not display!

Yes, all of my recurring events that do sync were created years ago in Outlook and I had no problem syncing them to my Blackberry Bold way back when. Initially when I got my iphone 4, everything synced both ways and then this year I got an iPad and intitally everything synced with it via iTunes/outlook with no problem. I've only noticed this problem within the last month or so and it drove me crazy. I reset both my ios devices but I refuse to uninstall and reinstall Outlook or iTunes. I've seen tons of posts on here that say it afffects the cloud, exchange servers and itunes so it's not just us. I've sent feedback to Apple and received no response. Others have too. Apple is aware of it and doesn't have a clue what to do about it. It now affects other events for me so I'm thinking maybe it has to do with default reminders and other things between Outlook and the ios devices. Maybe and update to iTunes or ios6 will change that, who knows. I still love my iPhone and would't go back to Blackberry; it's just way to slow for me.

Deleting a recurring event in iCal

Situation; iphone 5 recurring event wont delete. looking at same calendar on a synced PC (work) the event is not there at all.
If you are having trouble deleting a recurring event in iCal try this:
on your iphone change the event "alert" or "show as" setting on one of the events in the future. The event that wasn't showing on the PC outlook calendar magically shows up now. delete it from the PC by opening it and choosing the X delete for all occurances (if its asks).
Now open the event in iCal and you should see the Accept Maybe Decline option at the bottom - choose decline. you may have to do this on several dates, but that should delete the event.
Hope this helps.

pedfogog,
... or whoever may find this post in need of assistance as I was.
I just had this same problem and successfully deleted ALL event (past and future)instances by :
1. Click on any instance of the event in the calendar
2. Select "Delete" from the iCal toolbar "Edit" menu.
3. The iCal propmt asked me to choose to delete all or just the one instance.
4. Naturally, select to "Delete all occurrences"
I am running OS 10.6.8 iCal 4.0.4

ICal recurring events function broken

Hi folks,
I use my Mac for business, so having iCal broken is a serious problem. I hope someone can help.
The problem has crept up on me, so I can't pinpoint when I started to have issues. It seems to be progressive in some way.
I've tried to delete the program and also the support files I find in Library, and reinstall, but the new install managed to find the old info, somehow.
I'm on OS 10.6.8. I've got reasons to stick with it and don't want to upgrade right now. I'm running iCal 4.0.4. I've done a Software Update. I also sync an iPod running iOS 5.1.1 (also up to date for the device).
My problem is that I have been having items drop out of iCal, randomly so I have a hard time seeing any pattern to the problem. The items have seemed mostly to do with recurring events, so let's assume that's been consistent. In trying to understand the problem, I've deleted iCal and its Library files. I'm currently having some kind of problem where the System Disk is being rejected (won't mount), so I can't reload iCal that way, though I believe I did do that some time back trying to fix the problem. So I have re-installed iCal via thumb drive off a second IMac running OS10.6.8. It "works" seemingly fine, but now the recurring events function is completely broken. I've tried to set up several recurring events to test it, recurring daily; neither one has made it past the first instance (nothing can be made to "recur").
Any insights at all? Thanks very much,
Eric

I think the problem lies in icalx.com. It doesn't seem the server there gets a lot of real administrative attention. I'm not complaining at all! He's nice enough to offer this free to almost 100,000 calendars. But--it does make the recurring events problem a bit annoying.
I switched over to sharing my calendars via chandlerproject.org. You can share your calendars via webdav just like icalx and you can play around with some of the CalDAV features for free. (I'm not sure how long it will be free--it seems like an awfully nice service for no money!)
