Local Calendar question

Post by requiredusername »

This should be easy. For years, in Calendar view, on the left side I have had (hope the format sticks)
Local Calendar
Default
Husband
Husband
Holidays
Wife
Wife
Holidays

No more. Now it looks like
Local Calendar
Default
Husband
Husband
Holidays
Wife

Any events we add to 'Wife' show up in my phone's calendar, but not her phone's. How do I correct this?

To better assist you, it would be helpful to have a detailed description of the problem you are experiencing with EPIM. Also:
1. Please let us know the version of EPIM you are currently using.
2. Do you have any synchronizations enabled?

EPIM 11.6.5
File>Synchronization>Edit Synchronizations> both accounts/emails are set to Sync every 30 minutes.
I'm a little confused over "Detailed Description."
I'll try the left column again.
A few weeks ago, that column appeared as
Local Calendar
--Default
Husband
--Husband
--Holidays
Wife
--Wife
Holidays

Recently, it became
Local Calendar
--Default
Husband
--Husband
--wife
Holidays
Any holidays added to wife's calendar in PC/android/iphone end up in my calendar under her category. we can find no way to add an event to her calendar on PC or android. Her events show up as my events under her category. No way to create an event in her calendar that appear ONLY in her calendar.

Which online service are you syncing with? Could you please share a screenshot displaying the list of calendars you currently have? This will help us better understand which calendar corresponds to each account. It appears that the "Wife" account is currently missing. Is it still being synchronized?

Before I do that, I decided to remove both syncs and re-add. Hoped it would be faster.
Now, when I establish a sync to either gmail acct, everything seems to go without error. I see the bar fill as sync occurs. But, the calendar doesn't populate. Nothing. Google calendar on the web pages shows all events, but EPIM shows nothing. I'm selecting the option to have the calendars show under "Local Calendar."
What am I missing?

If you'd like to keep the same calendar structure as before, we recommend not syncing different Google accounts with the local calendar. Instead, it's better to keep them separated, which is the default sync option.

Alternatively, you can create a new DB file (File -> New -> EPIM Data File), add the synchronizations to it, and check if it works as expected. This may help to exclude any possible inconsistencies related to the synchronization options in your current database. Thanks!

Seems to have worked. Thanks
