Some of my appointments disappear and I can't figure out why.

A handful of appointments don't appear in the "normal" day/week/month view
of the calendar. But if I change to List View, they're there (View > Current
View > All Appointments).

If I edit the appointment slightly (such as adding a note or changing the
category flag), the appointment will appear in "normal" day/week/month view,
but only temporarily. If I scroll ahead to the next month and then scroll
back, the appointment's gone again.

I can't find any way to make these mystery appointments "stick."

I have no filtering on. I'm using standard Office views, nothing custom. I
have only one calendar named "Calendar" in my Personal Folders, plus the
Shared Calendar. Any ideas?

As a quick update, if I export one of the vanishing appointments as an
iCalendar file (File > Save As), then delete it from the calendar's list
view, then re-import it by double-clicking the saved file, it fixes the
problem for that appointment.

Obviously, this is really tedious and requires that I first find each of the
vanishing appointments and export/import them one by one, but at least it's a
workaround.

Does that give anyone any additional clues?

If the reset view is not effective, please write back including the
following
information:
- Outlook version (including service packs)
- Exchange version (if Exchange is being used)

You may be experiencing a known issue that has been fixed by a hotfix.

I'm having the same problem, however I have mine also involves the apple ipod
touch. If I create an appointment on my ipod touch, then sync with outlook,
it only appears in the "All Appointments" view, not the "Day/Week/Month" view.

My outlook version is:
2007 (12.0.6316.5000) SP1 MSO (12.0.6213.1000)
and I don't use exchange

I am having the same problem. I am using Outlook 2003, SP3. I am using the
iPhone with 2.0 software to sync between my home calendar - Apple's iCal -
and my work computer running Outlook.

I am also creating appointments on my iPhone to sync with the Outlook
calendar.

Wow, this appears to be a rather common problem. Seems to stem
around the apple devices and sync'ing to Outlook. This is not the
problem I was originally thinking of, however it is similar in nature.

I do not have an answer but I am going to do a bit of research and
see if I can turn something up.

If it helps, Nikki, there are at least two long discussion threads on the
Apple support website. Most, if not all, people are reporting the problem
after upgrading to 2.0 software for the iPhone/iPod touch. The most common
reported cause has been recurring appointments - birthdays, anniversaries,
weekly meetings.

There's been lots of work-arounds suggested, but not a definitive fix.

I decided to delete all my recurring appointments in Outlook. All my
solitary appointments showed up. But I'm not going to continue to sync my
iPhone with my work/Outlook computer. It seems to be causing more problems
than its worth.

Oddly, my partner who also has an iPhone syncs with his work comuter using
Exchange Server/ActiveSync. He reports having no problems, but his work
computer is the only one he syncs with for contacts, calendars, and email.

Actually, that helps tremendously. The problem I was thinking about
also revolved around RECURRING appointments.

What version of Outlook do you use?
What version of Outlook does your Partner use?
OS?
(Please include SP's and hotfixes if possible)

Thank you,
Nikki
