Cannot delete event in ical

I have repeated events that have gone wild in my ical. The events show up doubled on the wrong dates and I cannot click on them to delete or edit them…any virus I should know of? I am still on Leopard and have not dared messing with icloud yet either.

Is your ical connected with any other calendars like Google's?

  • Bugs with Lion! Cannot delete events in iCal and other stuff...

    First, sorry for my English, I speak French...
    I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro, my iMac and on my girlfriend's MacBook Pro and I have the same problems on each computer! Help please!
    I try to delete an event on iCal and it always comes back!! I cannot delete it and I cannot delete an entire calendar too! It disappears and 10 seconds later, it's back!
    I also removed an icon from the Dock but when I restart the computer, it is back in the dock!
    I have also some issues with the file sharing between my Macs. Usually, I entered the username and password of the Mac and it was possible to access everything from another Mac. But now it doesn't work! I think that I must create a new user account for file sharing...
    What should I do??
    Thanks!!!

    I have the same issues with items "re-appearing" in the dock after reboot or waking from sleep. I went into recovery mode, wiped my hard drive, and cleanly reinstalled lion to no avail. I had other issues that cleared up, but my dock is full of apps I never use...so I can only conclude its a bug.

  • I've just updated my iPhone 4 and now cannot add events in iCal. Anyone having the same problem?  Thanks!

    I've just updated my iPhone 4 to 5.0.1 and now cannot add events in iCal. Anyone having the same problem?  Thanks!

    The SMS links thing is highly annoying. You don't have to copy/paste however. You should see an icon like this: (>) to the right of the text bubble with the link. Tap on that, the in the screen that opens, tap "Visit".
    Alternatively, you can tap twice directly on the link, then hold your finger down after the second tap.
    Still unnecessarily difficult, but not as bad as copy/paste.
    What I don't get is why can't I find any mention of this change or how to fix it (if even possible) elsewhere online?

  • Deleting event in iCal 5.0.1 not syncing with Google Calendar

    When I delete an event from iCal, it does not sync with Google Calendar.  However, when I create an event in iCal, it syncs just fine with Google Calendar. Creating and deleting events from Google Calendar syncs fine with iCal.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    12/13/2011 - call to google tech support
    Recent support call with Google: iCal deleting events still broken.  this is big for us.  We have users that have accounts for and/or subscribe to multiple calendars, and took a while to teach them to use iCal, so web based calendars will be foreign to them (even though I like the web based).  There is no timeline in place according to Google Tech Support.  I feel like the issue is really Apple's issue, so Google is waiting on them to fix, this type of urgency(or lack of) is right up their alley.  Oh well.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on alternate calendar apps for Mac?  Specifically for google calendars?
    "Regarding the issue about not being able to delete Google Calendar events within iCal, as mentioned it is a known issue which unfortunately we don't have a time frame to offer you.

  • How to delete events on iCal that were created many years ago with a MobileMe account?

    I have never ending recurring events on iCal that I created years and years ago with my MobileMe account.  I don't have access to that email anymore, unfortunately.  Is there any way to get rid of these silly things?

    Navi,
    What Calendars are listed in your sources pane?
    Where are they located?
    Are you using iCloud?
    Backup that specific calendar using Calendar>File>Export>Export..., and save the copy to your Desktop.
    What happens if you attempt to delete that specific calendar?

  • Error deleting events in iCal using applescript

    Hi,
    I made a little applescript to insert and remove a roster in iCal for me and my collegues.
    While the script to remove a roster works fine on my computer, others are getting an error:
    see Link: [http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo31/Bronco_Dappe/Allerlei/Afbeelding1.png]
    [the error contains some strange characters but in general it says:
    "can not get class ... of event id ... of calendar id ..."]
    My applescript to delete the roster is:
    on run {CalendarName, Start, Eind, Prefix}
    -- Start and Eind format:
    -- int(day) int(month) int(year) int(hour) int(minutes)
    -- ===============================
    on run
    set CalendarName to "MP"
    set Start to "15 10 2009 00 00"
    set Eind to "17 10 2009 23 59"
    set Prefix to "MP:"
    -- Version 3.0
    -- ========
    -- Changed format of Start & Eind to be compatible with Snow Leopard
    -- convert DateStart
    set wordsplit to (words in Start)
    set DateStart to (current date)
    set year of DateStart to (item 3 of wordsplit)
    set time of DateStart to 0 -- reset time
    set day of DateStart to 1 -- prevent february 31
    set month of DateStart to (item 2 of wordsplit)
    set day of DateStart to (item 1 of wordsplit)
    set DateStart to DateStart + ((item 4 of wordsplit) * hours + (item 5 of wordsplit) * minutes) -- set time
    -- convert DateEind

    set DateEind to (current date)
    set year of DateEind to (item 3 of wordsplit)
    set time of DateEind to 0
    set day of DateEind to 1
    set month of DateEind to (item 2 of wordsplit)
    set day of DateEind to (item 1 of wordsplit)
    set DateEind to DateEind + ((item 4 of wordsplit) * hours + (item 5 of wordsplit) * minutes)
    tell application "iCal"
    set TargetCalendar to first calendar whose title is CalendarName
    set list2bDeleted to {}
    set list2bDeletedSum to {}
    set listEvents to every event of TargetCalendar
    repeat with singleEvent in listEvents
    if summary of singleEvent starts with Prefix then
    set eventstart to start date of singleEvent
    if eventstart ≥ DateStart and eventstart ≤ DateEind then
    if summary of singleEvent starts with Prefix then
    copy uid of singleEvent to end of list2bDeleted
    copy summary of singleEvent to end of list2bDeletedSum
    end if
    end if
    end if
    end repeat
    repeat with eventUID in list2bDeleted
    delete (every event of TargetCalendar whose uid is eventUID)
    end repeat
    end tell
    return list2bDeletedSum
    end run
    In general the script works like this:
    1. it goes over events in a specified calendar
    2. all events to be removed are added to a delete-list by id
    3. all events in the delete-list are removed using this id
    it seems step 3 creates a problem.
    any suggestions here?

    Once I got access again to an apple with Leopard I solved the problem.
    The applescript was saved in Snow Leopard.
    When opened in Leopard 'uid' in 'copy uid of singleEvent to end of list2bDeleted' was changed into '<<class>>' : 'copy <<class>> of singleEvent...'.
    Quite strange - but correcting and saving the script in Leopard solved the problem.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How to delete events in iCal on Mac, but not from iPhone

    Hi everyone,
    I have a reminder set to my phone for something everyday which is great because it's the first thing I look at in the morning. But I don't want this event plastered all over my iCal on my computer as it's unnecessary to see it there. But of course, since I sync my iPhone with this computer, it always ends up there too.
    Is there a way to sync only certain events, but not all of them? Sometimes I want to do the opposite, where I need to see a reminder on my computer for work, but don't need it popping up on my phone.
    Thanks for any help you can give!

    Hello
    The posted event log indicates some inconsistent behaviour of iCal in referencing item 2 of every event. I.e., it could access it first and failed to do so after a new event is created. Scent of bug here. Or possibly inserting ugly small delay after event creation might let the script delete the newly created event...
    Anyway, the 'by index' reference form of object must be used very carefully when object can be deleted or added dynamically.
    Also I wish to add that it is not recommended to use an object specifier, that returns list of objects, as the base list for repeat statement, such as :
    --CODE1
    -- # not recommended
    repeat with theEvent of (events of calendar "Untitled")
    -- omitted
    end repeat
    --END OF CODE1
    Instead, you'd better get the list first and use it, such as :
    --CODE2
    -- # recommended
    repeat with theEvent of (get events of calendar "Untitled")
    -- omitted
    end repeat
    --END OF CODE2
    The reason is as follows.
    In CODE1, the iterator is assigned as item k of events of calendar "Untitled", where k iterates from 1 to count of events of calendar "Untitled" at the time of loop entrance. The problem is that this list of events is dynamic list which may change when event is deleted or added, and consequently item k as iterator may no longer refer to the item k of the original collection of events.
    In CODE2, the iterator is assigned as item k of a static list which is obtained by statement 'get events of calendar "Untitled" at the time of loop entrance. If the event object is returned in 'by ID' reference form (or any form other than that depends upon index in the container), item k as iterator is guaranteed to refer to the item k of the original collection of events whether or not collection changes.
    Thus you may try something like this :
    --SCRIPT
    (* not tested *)
    tell application "iCal"
    tell calendar "Untitled"
    repeat with theEvent in (get its events) -- # get the objects list
    set theEvent to theEvent's contents -- # dereference each once
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {space}
    set textSummary to text items of summary of theEvent
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""} -- # reset astid
    if item 3 of textSummary is "Lab" then
    if item 5 of textSummary is "5-6" then
    tell theEvent
    set prop to {¬
    start date:(its start date) - 0.5 * hours, ¬
    end date:its end date, ¬
    status:its status, ¬
    summary:its summary, ¬
    allday event:its allday event}
    end tell
    make new event at end of events with properties prop
    delete theEvent
    end if
    if item 5 of textSummary is "3-4" then
    tell theEvent
    set prop to {¬
    start date:its start date, ¬
    end date:(its end date) + 0.5 * hours, ¬
    status:its status, ¬
    summary:its summary, ¬
    allday event:its allday event}
    end tell
    make new event at end of events with properties prop
    delete theEvent
    end if
    end if
    end repeat
    end tell
    end tell
    --END OF SCRIPT
    Hope this may help,

  • Cannot Edit Events in iCal

    I completed the new software updates yesterday and since then, I cannot edit any of my entries in iCal. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Mandy,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    1. How are you trying to edit your events?
    2. How many calendars do you have?
    3. Are any of the calendars "Subscribed?"
    4. What happens when you try to edit an event?

  • How do you delete an event in iCal?

    I have an iPad 2 and I cannot delete events from iCal.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    iPad 2 seems very unstable after the latest software update on 9 May 2011.

    Click on the event, and use the delete key. Or click on the event, and choose iCal>Edit>Delete.
    Good luck.

  • HT4968 can't delete events on my MacBook Pro iCloud Calendar

    Have iCloud; have iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad.  Can't delete event from iCal with MacBook.

    You haven't said what system you are using (please do when you have a query). The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
    Lion: the 'Calendar sync' checkbox has been removed from System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync as iCal no longer uses this method to sync and it's therefore redundant. Calendar 'syncing' (actually iCal reads the calendars from the MobileMe server) is now handled in a new Preference Pane, 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' - please see this Apple Tech Note for instructions on setting this up:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4758
    If you have upgraded to Lion and are having trouble syncing you should try removing your login details and re-entering them.
    Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
    Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
    Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

  • Delete events without notifying

    Is there any way to delete events in iCal without notifying recipients? I not only get duplicate calendar items sometimes, but spam messages with ical events. Do I really need to notify spammers that they've got a valid email address? It's either that or stare at their event in iCal.
    I've read some old posts on the topic, and it appears the only solution is a commercial program. Surely there must be a better way...

    Hi,
    One way would be to unplug the machine from the internet before changing the events in iCal, then delete the response emails from Mail's outbox before re-connecting.
    Note: I have written some shareware software to help people deal with this issue, but I'd hardly call it 'commercial'.
    Best wishes
