I still do not understand...create a NEW account...what about my account now that I use?
Sorry...I just don't understand

You aren't really creating a new GMail account. You're just accessing it using a different method.

Three of the most used email services/servers/protocols are POP3, IMAP, and Exchange. Each protocol has its strengths and weaknesses. Google supports all three. What we are suggesting is that you create a new account on the iPad that accesses your (same) GMail account using the IMAP servers, and shut off everything except the calendar for that account. (and shut off calendars in your Exchange account)

Think of it as using two different vehicles to go to the same store. Most of the time you'd like to use the car, because it has some nice features like air conditioning; but when it comes time to pickup some fence posts, the truck makes more sense.

In this case, we're saying that maybe the truck would do a better job of getting the calendars. It's worth a try.

It worked!!!
I stopped calendar in the exchange account...and made a new account with same account name, and turned just calendar on for it.....the calendar now goes back five years!!!

Now how do I get my android phone to go back that far....
Thank you!!!

No problem.

Though credit where credit is due. It was JoeyTeel's idea. I just um, re-imagined it.

Thank you....my android phone is not syncing backward more than one month.

I wondr who could help me?

Now my calendar in the iPad won't sync at all with google calendar?
Any ideas?
Thanks

If you have not done so, try turning it off under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars; the Account. Visit the Calendar app to force it to clear the date, then turn it back on.
