Cant sync calendar entries that are shown as "default calendar"with Outlook

I have multiple email accounts which all have associated calenders and for some reason most of the entries have changed to being "device default" calender entries and are not being synced with outlook, ie they are not in outlook anymore, they were but they have been removed. They still show on the device.

 

I have tried a bunch of things including deleting the ICAL entries under service books for the individual email accounts, but I cant get anything to work.

 

I cant edit each calender entry that uses the "device default, each entry shows "send using: device default", but its not possible to change this to the calender that is actually syncing.

 

Anyone know how to either copy all the calendar entries that are entered as "device default" (there are 863 of them) to the calendar that I want to use which actually sync's or how to force "device default" to sync with Outlook?

 

I hope this makes sense, its kinda hard to explain.

 

Thanks in advance.

Re: Cant sync calendar entries that are shown as "default calendar"with Outlook

Yes, I am having the same exact problem.  On my BB I can input entries from my work, personal or device default calendar (they each go into the calendar as different colors).  It used to be when I sync'd with outlook entries from all 3 would sync with my outlook.  Recently I noticed all of the one (which are the majority of them) are inputted under 'device default' and have disappeared from my outlook. 

 

Up until about a week ago everything was sync'ing fine, can anybody tell me what caused this to happen or how to fix it?

 

Thanks!

Re: Cant sync calendar entries that are shown as "default calendar"with Outlook

I wonder if this has to do with the recent "upgrade" we downloaded.  I have posted the same problem under a different thread.  Everything new in the calendar transfers, leaving the old data on the BB, but not in the Outlook calendar.

Re: Cant sync calendar entries that are shown as "default calendar"with Outlook

Did you get your calendar syncing with Outlook problem fixed? After updating the BB software, I am having what I think is a similar problem synching the previously made appointments. I am not having a problem synching the appts inputted on my BB after updating the software, just the ones before. It looks like the top tab on an appt (i.e., The Send using: Device Default) seems to be the issue and even though the appointment is on the BB, it is not going to my calendar on Outlook and I can't find any way to change that setting to the Send using correct folder. Thanks for the help, Steve

Re: Can't sync calendar entries that are shown as "default calendar"with Outlook

I'm having the same problem. New items OK but old one have been deleted from outlook but kept them on BB. I've try sync device to outlook one way but this doest not work. We need a solution soon as I'm in a mess with calendar. I've tryed to find old email invites so I can accept them again so get me out of a muddle but that only short term. I think you are right in it an issue with the upgrades.
