Appointments not showing up in Day/Week/Month View

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.

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....

I realize the bug was introduced by the apple upgrade, however the
problem remains --- I have an Outlook appointment, created in
Outlook, that now vanishes after the reminder is dismissed.

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?

Did you reset the reminder in Outlook? Maybe remove it?

Tried resetting the reminder on a past appointment which disappeared,
it did not reappear.

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.

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.

So glad to find this! 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

on downgrading: reports in the apple forum that it worked, but someone tried
it here and said it didn't help existing appointments.

Hi I've had the iphone/outlook problem... I've spent hours on the phone to both microsoft and apple...each say it's the other's problem. I even took the laptop into apple (windows vista oh well) and showed them...they said there might be a fix but it would take ages and to schedule a longer visit. I haven't done it yet but seeing as 3 or so months has passed was wondering if there is an update on this situation.

Strangely enough I just received a .vcs appointment as an attachment in an email. I opened it and accepted it into outlook. It appears in the active appointments view but not in day/week/month views. Message class is ipm.appointment I checked. Scarey that this was nothing to do with iphone. I have always loved and promoted outlook as a time/task tool but now I'm worried that it's so unreliable. Any news would be much appreciated. cheers

A few questions for you:
What version of Outlook are you using?
Is it fully patched?
Are any of your views filtered?
Would it be possible to send me one of the VCS files you're using?

Microsoft is investigating this bug. I have no idea where they are on it
though or where the problem is.
