Accidentally Deleted Calendar Event via Decline Button

I have accidentally deleted a calendar event on more than one occasion due to having a calendar event open to view its contents and then accidentally touching the Decline button, usually when trying to scroll and putting the finger down too far (and to the right).
Has anyone else done this? Any tips for avoiding this problem other than the obvious "be more careful" or "swipe towards the left of the screen"? Is there any way to get rid of the Accept,Maybe,Decline buttons or to add an additional confirmation dialog? The only way to recover after an accidental Decline seems to be to have the invitee or someone invited to the event forward the calendar event to me again so that I can accept it and have it put back on the calendar.
The calendar events in question are those coming from a Microsoft Exchange server used at work. There is no issue with my own calendar events since these obviously do not have Accept,Maybe,Decline buttons.

Thanks. I suppose my gripe isn't so much with Microsoft as it is with Apple's U.I. design that makes it too easy to make a change that deletes the event. For other places where there is a deletion, such as the trash symbol for mail messages, you are prompted with a secondary "Delete Message" dialog which is a configurable option "Ask Before Deleting" in the Mail preferences. I would like to see a similar option for the calendar events "Ask Before Declining" or something like that since a Decline deletes the calendar event and unfortunately it is too easy to accidentally hit that Decline button.
So what is the best way to make a feature request to Apple such as the above? I'll consider the question answered if I know how to best make this suggestion to Apple.

TS3999 My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

On you phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and make sure you have selected a calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default. If not, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
If your settings are already correct, or if after changing them it still isn't syncing properly, make sure all the calendar events on your phone are in your iCloud calendar. If not, enter any missing events either on your iPad, or on icloud.com from your computer. Then, after your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn Calendars to Off. When prompted, choose Delete from My iPhone. After a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendar back to your phone. Then try adding a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.

Accidentally deleted an Event from iphoto '08

I accidentally deleted an Event from iphoto....By opening the "Show Package Contents" option in Finder I am able to see the Folder (Event in the Iphoto Library) that I accidentally deleted from the iphoto window. I see also all of the photos in that folder. How do I go about reinstating these originals into the Iphoto Library so that I can recreate the Event that I accidentally deleted?
Also I noticed that when you delete or move to trash any photos or events of photos from Iphoto they do NOT appear IN the Trash and one cannot reinstate them from the Trash unless you are one step away and can "Undo move to trash". Please let me know what happens to the photos or events when one moves them to the trash or "deletes" them.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

That's what I like....succinct, clear, and perfectly accurate. THANK YOU.
If I could ask you a follow up.... On my previous laptop and previous version of iphoto, I and my family had over the years created quite a mess with my iphoto folders, with some photos not even in folders and sitting outside of the typical iphoto folders. My new iphoto functions just fine but I suspect some of the random photos and files which appear outside of the typical iphotos structure within my new iphoto package may not be showing up in my iphoto library (I have not yet gone thru and tried to check). so my questions are:
1. What is the iphoto 08 Package Contents SUPPOSED to look like?(what are the specific folders that one should not touch)
2. If there are other folders or files outside of this structure that may not be showing up in iphoto library, what would I do to import these back into the library? (I do not care if the data attached is missing but would like to make sure I have ALL of my past photos, including ones that I may have misfiled previously).
3.After I do the above, how do I clean up the Package Contents to make sure I leave along ONLY the files that Iphoto depends on.
Thank you.

Any way to stop accidental deletion of events

I find is puzzling that it is necessary to double click an event and then click the edit button in order to change any aspect of an event, but you can easily delete an event by simply having it hi-lighted and hitting the backspace key. We have a shared calendar in the office and more than once people have accidentally deleted appointments.
Is there an add-on or a work around that will force iCal to throw up a confirmation warning before deleting the event or even a way to allow users to create and edit but not delete events?

Mitchell Allen,
There is no workaround that I am aware of, but ICal>Edit>Undo Delete Event, menu command should be available immediately after an event is inadvertently deleted.
I suggest that you provide Apple - iCal - Feedback

Delete calendar event with own notification text

Hello Admin: I am new here and I don't know if this the correct community. Please feel free to move it in the correct coummnity
Hello everyone.
may you help me?
I would like to delete a calendar event with my own notification text. Would it be possible, if I delete an calendar event that I could enter a comment before the declined message will be sent to the organizer?
Kind regards
Jane

I have a similar issue.
I am doing custom prints of each event in Calendar. I pull from each event the properties I want (time, location, summary, description) and format them nicely for an 8.5" x 11" print. I want to combine this newly created document with other files already attached to the event. However, I have not been able to figure out how to reference this property (or maybe it is considered an element?).
When opening a single Calendar event with textEdit, you can see a line that starts with "ATTACH;FILENAME=", but referencing this line in applescript eludes me.
How do we reference files that are attached to events in Calendar when using applescript?

Accidentally deleted calendar

I accidentally deleted my calendar from my iphone this morning. Is there anyway to "undo" this??? Or, can I just "restore" the phone from 2 hours ago??? (If so, how?) Thanks

If you go into Settings and then select General and Reset and Reset Home Screen Layout, your calendar icon should show up again, you might have to sign back into your account to get your events synced back in though.
Hope this helps

Help - trouble editing & deleting calendar events

I no longer have the ability to edit and/or delete recurring calendar events, or in some cases, stand alone events. There is NO edit button to be found on several, but not all, of my calendar events. Therefore when I need to change a time I wind up with 3 calendar events sitting on top of each other as I am unable to edit. I have checked the settings, my icloud, etc. HELP!!!! I have an iphone 5 operating iOS 7.0.4

ICal Help Needed! (cannot delete calendars/events on computer and iPhone)

Hi Everyone,
I need some help with my iCal. Background info:
-Currently have an iPhone 3GS
-Using Google Calendar
-Use separate calendar on iPhone (Pocket Informant)
-Wanted to sync all event from Outlook to Google Calendar to iCal to two calendars on phone (this became an issue with alarms so began attempting to delete all events from the original iPhone calendar that I do not want to use)
I started by syncing my Outlook (one way) with my Google Calendar, which syncs with the iCal on computer and Pocket Informant on iPhone, as well as iCal on iPhone. Duplicate alarms started occurring on the phone (PI and iCal). I then attempted to delete all events from the iCal on the computer. One calendar remains, one that I subscribed to from Yahoo Sports. I have tried everything to delete this calendar, but it seems impossible. After I sync the phone, the subscribed calendar shows up as well as birthdays and one calendar from my Google Calendar, on my phone.
So, the issues, and what I would eventually like to see:
1. I would like all events cleared from iCal on computer (currently just subscribed calendar that will not delete)
2. I would like to delete all events from calendar on phone (subscribed calendar, birthdays, and one calendar from Google) *I cannot even delete these events by hand on my phone.
3. In the end I would like to just continue to sync Outlook with Google which syncs with PI and then do nothing with iCal (on phone and computer) *Well really I would like events from Google synced with iCal on computer, but this doesn't seem feasible so I would settle with not using it at all.
The only thing I can think of to do at this point is to delete iCal, but I am not even sure this would correct the calendar issue on my phone as I am unable to delete that and the sync does not seem to be working correctly.
Any help on this would be much appreciated!
Thank you in advance!!

The edit feature was working correctly with the calendars and stopped. Performed a sync through iTunes removing syncing preferences first. Did not resolve the issue. I am considering restoring the iphone.

How can I delete calendar events that were sent by another user?

When someone sends me a calendar event that recurs,and I accept, I cannot delete the recurrences of later dates, when I no longer need them.

I have the same problem with my IPAD2.

Automatically Delete Calendar Events Older Than a Day old.

I am trying to have SharePoint automatically delete any events that are a day old. I have a vacation calendar that needs to remove any older dates and only keep up to date with the new ones. I have tried to search for the solution and cant
find anything. I don't want to filter the events it needs to be removed.

function Calendarcleanup()
#Get Site
$Web=Get-SPWeb "Site url"
Write-Host $Web.url
#Get the Target Calendar List
$list = $web.Lists["XXXX"]
Write-host $list.title
#Query the list items based on your requirement
$query=new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery
$query.Query='<Where>

$query.RowLimit = $list.Itemcount
#Get the itemcollection for processing
$Items=$list.GetItems($query)
Write-Host $Items.count
#Loop through the items and delete them

How do I find out when a I calendar event was declined by it invitee?

How do I find out the date and time a I calendar events invitation was declined?

i'm not entirely sure about the new tab page - in principle it will use an algorithm which populates the slots based on the frequency & the recency of visits. however i think that sites removed from the history should also disappear from the new tab page (when i tried it it was at least true after i've restarted the browser once) - if this isn't happening for you then it might be some bug...
in any case firefox won't have the proper features to reliably monitor your kids' browsing behaviour - they always can use private browsing mode where no traces will be left on the pc or manually "clean up" the history.

Deleted calendar event alert

Hi all,
I deleted a calendar event from my iPhone 4S after the event but it keeps popping up on my phone as an alert every single day. I might have set it to recurring which I dont remember but even if I did I deleted the event itself. I sync my phone with my laptop everyday but I dont understand how I get an alert on my phone when I already deleted it.
The worse part is I cant find this event anywhere on my phone but it pops up before lunch time every single day and its so annoying now. Can someone please help me out here on what I should do to get rid of this recurring event that I already deleted. Please help me! I appreciate all your support.
Thanks! Go Apple!
Kash

If you are syncing your calendar to a supported application such as Outlook you should try replacing your iPhone calendar with your Outlook calendar using iTunes. To do this, connect your phone to your computer, go to the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings and under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone, check Calendars then Apply to sync your phone.

Why cant i delete calendar events

i try going onto my calendar and everytime i delete an event it either won't work or it will freeze my phone, what do i do???

Because Apple designed the iOS for it to be all or nothing. You can tell Apple you'd like to see a change here:
