Appointments not showing up in Day/Week/Month View

Thread rating:  |
TJAC - 03 Apr 2008 15:37 GMT I am trying to fix this problem for a co-worker. His Outlook is not displaying the appointments in his day/week/month view. He does not see anything in Outlook 2003 and he is not on Exchange. However, if you look at the calendar to the right, the days that do have appointments are displayed in bold (so you know something is there), but when you click on that date, nothing is displayed. I had him switch to the Category View and you can see all of the appointments there and even open them. But switching back to the day/month/view it appears as if there is nothing. I have never seen this before. How can I help him to have these displayed? Thanks in advance!

Diane Poremsky {MVP} - 17 Jul 2008 19:54 GMT See if this works for the disappearing from day/week/month view but visible in category view problem:
On the iPhone: open the event and change it to recurring daily then end the recurrence on the date of the event. (Apparently events created in the iphone are always recurring.)

I also have the same problems... I tried a lot of things, non of them really worked. But I think the problems are caused by the time-zone support. I deactivated the timezone support and activated "Cupertino" (I think this was the standard entry; I am from Austria/Europe) and suddenly 10 items were visible again in the week-view - BUUUTTTTTTT they disappered again about one or thwo hours later :o((((( But nevertheless I think the time-zone is the problem. Because I enter a "whole-day-item" (sorry I don't know the name in english) on the iPhone, it sometimes appears in my Outlook as a "two-day-item"... So I think, the time-zone is shifted between my Outlook and my iPhone, and they are not able to handle it, and so am I :o(((( Perhaps someone else could try it out, perhaps I am right, perhaps I am wrong...

Thanks so much for sticking with me. > [quoted text clipped - 96 lines] > > - Show quoted text - I'm having this same issue with some Appointments showing up in All Appointments or By Category views, but not in the Day/Week/Month view. The appointments are on the iPhone (and in Outlook calendar), however, simply aren't showing up in the Day/Week/Month view. I did try setting the Recurrence of the meeting on the iPhone to Daily with and end date of the same date. This didn't change anything.
Also, it also appears to be somewhat random. The ones that don't appear aren't consistent for whether they were created on the iPhone and sync'd to Outlook or created in Outlook and sync'd to the iPhone. Also, it doesn't seem to matter whether they are appoiments (only me) or meetings (with others). Nor whether I am the meeting organizer or have accepted someone else's meeting. The ones that are missing are a variety of meeting/appointment types, while others of the same "type" ARE showing up. This is very baffling. I have noticed that it seems to affect current appointments mostly. For example, all of today's appointments showed up correctly at the start of today. However, during the day, some meetings would disappear after their appointment time (while of course others remained). Arg. Any new information or help out there?
Matt - 23 Jul 2008 19:57 GMT Well, I figured out that it has to do with the alerts. If an alert is changed in any way after syncing to the iphone, it will disappear from the Day/Week/Month view in Outlook. This occurs whether the alert change is done manually either in Outlook or on the iPhone or automatically by dismissing the alert once it pops up. Either way, after the next sync, it will be gone.
The only thing I can think of is to Snooze every alert for 2 weeks, but that will start to catch up...
You can "recover" your past missing appointments by finding them in the All Appointments view, and adding an alert back to the appointment and snoozing it (since it occured in the past, the alert will go off immediately).
Yuk. But at least I now know what's happening - it was driving me crazy!

Ok - makes me feel a little better that someone esle is having the same issue.
At the start of the day, I had 7 meetings today prior to 3:00. Now (at 3:30) looking at my calendar in the iPhone I have 7 meeitngs, but in the Outlook Day/Week view I have 3. So, 4 of my meeting have "disappeared". As everyone else, these show if you go searching for them in Outlook, and in my case all of these were created originally in Outlook.
This is a MAJOR issue, and is making my iPhone...well....just a phone. Synching Calendars is worthless at this point, and I'm afraid that even not syncing it will make the meetings disappear after the alert goes off....
Diane Poremsky {MVP} - 23 Jul 2008 22:05 GMT It's Apple's problem :) Because of past issues with the itunes addin for outlook which is required for calendar sync, we think that is where the current problem lies. The common denominator seems to be itunes 7.7 - both iphone versions are affected and we've had a few reports of problems on ipods. So... if you want to try reverting to v 7.5, let us know if it fixes your problems. :) http://content.info.apple.com/iTunes7/Win/061-3902.20071105.G6edS/iTunes75Setup.exe

I assume it' some setting in the appointment that is being changed when I sync, but I would think that Outlook has a way to change that flag back? I'm fine with not syncing to the iPhone anymore until this is resolved, but I woudl like a way to make changes in Outlook so my appointments continue to appear.
I'm aware of the workaround to save the appointment as a ics file & reaccepting it, however that loses the list of attendees and the attachments. Other options?
Diane Poremsky {MVP} - 24 Jul 2008 01:53 GMT Did you reset the reminder in Outlook? Maybe remove it?

Here's the scenario from yesterday: I had three types of appointments on my calendar: some created by me with no attendees, some created by me with attendees, and some received by me from another person. These were all synced to the iPhone (v2.0 with iTunes 7.7). During the day yesterday, as the reminders popped up, I dismissed them & attended the meetings. At the end of the day, all of these no longer showed in the day/week view of Outlook, however they all still show correctly in the iPhone. If I search in Outlook for a specific appointment, I can find it, so it does still exist.
Diane Poremsky {MVP} - 24 Jul 2008 16:04 GMT if you need to see it on the Day/Week/Month calendar, snooze instead of dismissing. The default is to snooze for up to 2 weeks but you can type anything there - you'll need to type use full words (6 weeks), not the shortcuts (6w) used in other date fields.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate, Outlook 2007 and iTunes 7.7 and syncing from an iPhone 3G. For what it's worth, here's what I've been able to reproduce every time today:
- Create a regular, non-repeating, non-all-day event on the iPhone (e.g. a simple 1-hour meeting from 9am to 10am tomorrow) - With Outlook open and in the Day/Week/Month view, connect the iPhone and sync in iTunes - Initially, the event appears correctly in Outlook - Now switch away from the calendar view in Outlook (say, to Mail or Contacts) and back again. It's gone! - Switch to any other calendar view (e.g. Active Appointments) and you'll see it's still there. It's also still on the iPhone. - On the iPhone, set the event as repeating daily, but starting and ending on the same day (as suggested already on this thread). - Sync again. Ta-da! It's re-appeared! - Remove the recurrence information (on iPhone or Outlook) and sync again. It vanishes again from Day/Week/Month view but is still there in other views and of course, still on the iPhone.
Haven't tried downgrading to iTunes 7.5 yet. Has anyone had any success with that?
If I find anything else useful I'll post it here.
Cheers, Mark

Diane Poremsky {MVP} - 25 Jul 2008 05:15 GMT on downgrading: reports in the apple forum that it worked, but someone tried it here and said it didn't help existing appointments.

While it defeats one purpose of a calendar... it will be a bit easier than snoozing everything.
