Calendar (iCal) why does it erase data?

Avatar Georgia Cheer
Hi, Often I like to add info into the Calendar from past events when I remember later on what I did on that date. I do this almost like a diary entry, but often when I go someplace, it wasn't a scheduled event so it isn't in my diary. When I try to put in a past event in the Calendar, it appears a second or two, then disappears! I find this most frustrating. Can anyone answer why? Is there a calendar app someone may like to recommend (I know there are MANY out there.) I miss my PalmPilot calendar as I could enter things I did in the past with no problem, then print out a calendar month from ages ago which showed me what I did on any given day. Georgia

Are you synchronising iCal between devices? There is often an option to not sync events older than a given time. This may be 'deleting' your events from the device they were not entered on. For example, I've just entered a test event on June 20th in iCal on my Mac but it has not synced to either my phone or my iPad as I don't sync events more than one month old. It's still there in iCal on my Mac

I have managed to do what you wanted on iCal and have had no problem wit retaining it. I do not use iCloud so that could be the reason for your problem.

Many thanks chaps, seems as I do sync between iPhone, iPad and IMac, I didn't have the settings for the sync set back far enough as Mick suggested. I have now synced for 'all events' which I hope should cure it. Georgia
