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,
Sheila M.

  • Why does my Calendar delete events over a year old?

    My calendar deletes all events more than a year old. I am running the latest version of Mountain Lion -- 10.8.3. All events on iCloud also delete after a year. I have an iMac with 3.06 GHz Intel Core Duo and 4 GB of RAM. I've checked all my other devices, but there doesn't seem to be any settings to keep or delete data. Since I keep my appointments as a record, this has become a real problem, but I don't see any other questions like this in the Communities. Please help.

    Julie,
    If I try to open the app, iCal, all that shows is a circle with a line through it, indicating it's not available or even there.
    You will not be able to open older applications through the Time Machine interface.
    Also, can I look in Time Machine for lost data? How do I do that? My library is hidden in my user folder, so I can't find it.
    Calendar data is stored in the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder. If you open the Finder>Go menu, and depress the "option" key, you will find an be able to open the hidden Library folder.
    Restoring iCloud calendars from Time Machine, by Roger Wilmut describes the restoration process, but I do not recommend that you attempt this procedure unless you have proper backup, nor am I certain that it will work for restoring older entries.
    Retaining older Calendar entries on iOS | iLounge Article, suggests that other user installed applications/services may interfere with the calendar retention selection.

  • Why does my calander lose past events

    My calendar loses past events. Everything from 30 days ago back is gone. Do i have something set wrong?

    If you are syncing with a calendar on another computer, you may have the iPad settings set to a limited number of events.  To check, go into Settings, Mai/Contacts/Calendars, and scroll down to the Calendars section.  Tap Sync and select the number of months back you wish to sync.  You may want to consider choosing All Events to have your calendar completely up to date.

  • Why does the calendar function send invitations in GMT?

    I have updated my time zone to my local setting (CST), but whenever I send out an invitation using my calendar function on my macbook, it does so in GMT.  Why?

    From the menu bar, select
              Calendar ▹ Preferences... ▹ Advanced
    and check the box marked
              Turn on time zone support
    Then, from the menu in the upper right corner of the Calendar window, select your desired time zone.

  • Why does my calendar delete my appointments?

    I opened my Macbook Pro Retina today and looked into my calendar to check something in December and find out that the calendar has deleted some of my work shifts. I have done absolutely nothing to provoke this and it has happened before with my notes.. It was the same, I suddenly a bunch of them deleted as well.
    It's a really big problem.. Have anybody tried something similar?
    Thanks!

        We want you to enjoy all those important events on your Blackberry Torch BBTorch69! Is this a recent occurrence? Have you checked your calendar settings to see how they are set? 30 days is usually the maximum for keeping appointments. The device is designed to delete older appointments to ensure space is free to keep current data.

  • Why does my calendar not sync events created on my iphone

    When I create an event on my iPhone 4 and then sync it to my MacBook, the event is not showing up in iCal.  I have "Sync all Calendars" checked in iTunes under info when my phone is connected.  This problem just started after I installed Snow Leopard.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
        2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
        3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Why does the calendar on my iPhone 4 not show dots since the IOS 6 upgrade?

    Since I upgraded the ios on my iPhone 4 to IOS 6 the dots on the monthly calendar are no longer there. Can anyone tell me how to get them back?

    I have this exact same problem down to every detail.  I've gotten to the point where I almost want to soft-reset my phone on a preventative level every day at lunch time because I have already been late receiving several urgent messages (work and personal) due to this issue.  I had iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 before I upgrade to the 6 and didn't have this problem - perhaps it is hardware/firmware related?

  • Why can't I delete certain events in my calendar?

    Why can't I delete certain events in my calendar?

    - First, go to Settings>iCloud and make sure the Contacts is turned on
    - Next go to Settings>General:Restrictions and make sure that no Restrictions are set.
    Last, the standard fixes:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

    Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

    You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
    If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
    If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

  • Why does the Right-click - "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click - "t" opens a new tab elsewhere. The bookmark toolbar use Right-click - "w" to open in a new tab. Please change this to "t" to...

    Why does the Right-click -> "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click -> "t" opens a new tab elsewhere in Firefox. The bookmark toolbar use Right-click -> "w" to open in a new tab. Please change this to "t" to... I keep deleting all my bookmark because you don't make the commands consistent!

    If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.<br />
    The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).<br />
    That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.
