I think the solution mentioned in this thread must only work for BIS users as I had nothing but problems (mentioned in previous posts to this thread) when trying to follow these instructions many times. The main difference being I use BES + BIS.

I resorted to using a little utility called CalendarSync and it solved all my problems without having to worry about a thing. It automatically (or manually) copies or moves calendar items from multiple calendars to your primary calendar (which you set in the options). You can grab a free trial of it at http://www.mobihand.com/product.asp?id=48081&n=CalendarSync to see if it might solve your problem preserving your CICAL entries and any other functionality that may be related to them. At only $5, it’s well worth it IMHO.

Thank you thank you thank you for this very straight forward solution to moving all calendar entries to another calendar! Brilliant.

I tried this on my Bold 9700 and ran into a problem. After following the steps outlined above, my calendar items were all combined into my Desktop calendar, which was great and they all showed up on the Today screen. Perfect, or so I thought. I tested sending a new meeting request to the email address for the CICAL I deleted. I received the request item in my inbox on my phone, but I was unable to access the item (open/accept/decline/etc..). It just sat in my inbox and was completely inaccessible. I couldn’t even mark it as “opened” or delete it.

Anyone have any ideas about how to resolve this?

Resend your service books and do a hard reset.

Oh. My. God. This is a lifesaver. Every time I would update my OS my calendars would end up completely FUBAR between Facebook, Google Sync, CICAL service books, and backup/restore. It would take me days to fix it back to normal, and it was always some convoluted workaround that I could never remember. This just made my day haha

I love it. The best use for this is Today screens. Since the calendars on all my Today screen only shows the default. Now I won’t miss any of those “facebook” birthdays.

I guess the question that remains is, does facebook now update the default calendar?

This is interesting to me as I also had major calendar problems as a result of the Facebook app calendar CICAL. A few months ago when I tried to troubleshoot my calendar issues I wound up accidentally deleting my default calendar CICAL associated with my email address. Does anyone know how to recreate this CICAL? Thanks!

I’m using bold .301 it seems the instruction didn’t work, it goes back to the original after the hard reset .. Any ideas why?

I am not sure how facebook will react if you delete the cical entry for its calendar… Would be interesting to see.

That is a very good question, as well as for any other calendars you have in your BB. Because if you add new stuff to the other calendar, will it all go to the default, or back to those, which would kind of defend the purpose

I wish I knew about this about 6 months ago when I had the calendar issues using multiple calendars. My problem was with the facebook calendar and I think a lot of other people had the same problem.
