  • Calendar 'not being maintained after April 3'

    From Martin S Taylor@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 1 09:04:41 2023
    Hi:

    This morning I noticed that the calendars on my Apple Watch aren't synching with my iPhone and Mac. There *are* events in my watch's calendar, but only events I put there many weeks ago.

    So to test what's going on, I added a test event in my iPhone, in my regular, everyday calendar. This immediately showed up on my watch. But when I look at the details of this test event on the watch, it has a 'conflict' listed,
    which reads:

    'Alert: this calendar will not be maintained after April 3rd' is also
    scheduled for this time

    Anyone seen anything like this? What's going on?

    Are you perhaps subscribed to some organisation's calendar who have decided
    not to operate the calendar in future?

    Are you able to enable/disable calendars in sequence to see which one that message comes from?

    Look in Calendar on the Mac, with the list-of-calendars leftbar visible.
    Check for things in the "Other" category which have an echo symbol on
    the right - those are external subscriptions from a feed. Presumably one
    of those is causing the trouble.

    Cheers - Jaimie

    Thanks - combined with Jaimie's help I sorted it.

    I was, indeed, subscribed to an organisation's calendar, and that was the source of the message. However, something had got corrupted somewhere, and
    the warning message was appearing in every new event I created in my own Personal iCloud calendar.

    Turning off 'Calendars' in iCloud, deleting all the calendars from the iPhone and Watch and then turning everything back on again seems to have sorted the problem.

    There's another way that might work - on the phone's Watch.app > My
    Watch > General > Reset > Reset Sync Data
