Auto delete old todo items and/or events

Whenever I check the "Delete todo items after..." and the "Delete events after..." options in the Advanced preferences, iCal becomes really sluggish and after a while, my Mac freezes completely... even force quit key combo wont do anything. All I can do is force reboot it.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
From iCal's File menu, select 'Export…' > 'iCal Archive…' and save the archive file. In the Finder open the file and wait for iCal to restore from it. Then turn the 'delete after' preferences back on.
Let us know how it goes.
Best wishes

My Macbook Pro won't auto delete old TM files

My wife's Macbook pro won't auto delete old files on the TM disc. I think it has to do with using a time capsule. I'd rather stop that and just use the WD Passport but how do I do that?

Hi..
My power cord has been trying to go out on me for a few weeks and tonight it just went capooey
If there's a power issue on your Mac, it's doubtful uninstalling and reinstalling software will make any difference.
Try Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
If the adapter is ok, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Remove documents from iCloud
You can remove documents stored in iCloud by deleting them from any of your devices that have iCloud set up for Documents & Data. Removing your documents from iCloud reduces the amount of iCloud storage space you’re using.
Remove iCloud documents from your iOS device
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage.
Under Documents & Data, tap the app that has a document you want to delete, then tap Edit.
Remove iCloud documents from your Mac
Open iCloud preferences, then click Manage.
Select an app on the left, then select one or more documents on the right.
Click Delete (below the list of apps).
You can also remove documents from iCloud by moving them to your Mac with OS X v10.8 or later. For instructions, use go to the Finder on your Mac, choose Help > Help Center, then search for “save documents.”

Also
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

cc updates- Am I'm supposed to delete old PS version and use ps2014?

If you need to free up the space you can uninstall Photoshop CC; it's not needed going forward if you can use Photoshop CC 2014 without problems and don't need the specific features that have been deprecated (e.g., Oil Paint, Flash Panel Support, etc.)....

Delete old calendar items on iCloud

Hello,
we are using the calendar on iPad Mini synchronizing the entries with iCloud. We can deactivate old calendar items but this doesn't delete them. How can we delete old entries from the calendar (e.g. older than 3 months) and therefore, also delete them from the iCloud storage?
Kind regards,
Mike

On the next sync, you can choose to replace all events on the iphone.
This option is found at the bottom of the info tab in itunes.
Befor you use this, make sure that any events on the iphone have ben moved to the computer.
Hope this helps.

I need to delete old apple ID and password and assign new apple ID and password. FIrst Apple ID was Compromised

I need to delete the name of my old apple ID and password since it was hacked. I created a new Apple ID, and password they work fine getting in and out of account however Apple has kept my old hacked account in their record for updates. I also can not use ITunes applications because Apple has kept old hacked email in their system and they are matching it up to my IPAD and my IPOD touch serial numbers I believe. Any Idea how I can fix this my self without buying their phone warranty plan? I have gone into settings and tried updating info their and with apple on phone once before they said they fixed it and now the latest IOS 6 update won 't load to IPOD TOUCH due to this.
HELP !!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!?????????????AT A LOSS ON THIS ONE???????
Any suggestions would be appreciated?

First, if you still have access to the hacked account, rename it if you can and change the password for it.
How to change the name you use for your Apple ID
If needed, change the email linked to it as well. Get control of that account back.
As all iTunes purchases are linked to the account that purchased them (music, apps, etc) it is best to rename an account rather than creat a new account. Apple ID's can't be deleted or merged either.
From Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you need further Apple ID help, you will want to contact Apple, Apple ID Support
or maybe iTunes Support

8900 deletes old calendar items on wired sync

I have an 8900 that I wire sync to Outlook 2003 on my PC. Have calendar dates back to 2000. It will sync but alwasy wants to delete things in 2000 and now 2001. So I have to fish them out of the deleted items in Outlook and put them back. Memory seems to be fine on the BB and settings are "forever" and "two way sync." Any thoughts?

You know, something tells me in the back of my head that I've read something of a ten year past event limit, but I can't lay my finger on it just now.
Meanwhile, there's this... Article ID: KB18694 Calendar items occurring in the past are being deleted from the calendar application on the computer
Not much help now.
Let me ask, do you archive these events in Outlook? Why do you want to keep all that on your BlackBerry (not that it matters, just curious, when you have other "better" options, than on the device itself).

Error while editing PO - deleting service line item and creating material line item.

In SAP SRM Extended classic scenario, PO is in 'ordered' status and contains a service line item. While editing this PO, I delete the service line item and create a new material line item. This gives me the following error.
Back end error: Enter G/L account
Back end error: LIne item still contains faulty items.
This happens only with service- material comibination and no other combination(material-service, service-service, material-material).
I need to know the reason for this issue and how it can be solved?

PO Values (Inc Tax):
Item 1: INR 228 L
Item 2: INR 27.83 L   (Payment also done in 2008)
GR for Item 1: INR 207.46 L
Remaining Comm = INR 21.01 L
Item 1 having 73 sub line items.... fo some of the sub-line items GR for some qty already done in last fiscals.
User changing for remaining qty.
Budget Report values:
Previous Years: Budget, Actual & Assigned = 304.85 L
                            Available = 0      (Carry Forward done for Budget & Commitments)
2011:                   Budget = 75.15 L
                            Actual = 53.86 L
                            Comm = 21.01 L   (Same as Remaining Commitment)
                            Avai = 0.28 L
Hope this will help.

Time Machine does not appear to auto delete old backups

I would like old backups to be automatically deleted, but so far does not appear to have occurred as I have not received any warnings. I have checked the box in the setup dialog box to do so. I have only 60GB remaining and receive warnings from Tech Tools that the free space threshold is at 2% remaining.
Does the drive have to be fully exhausted before older backups are automatically deleted (causing the warning), and if so should I turn off the Tech Tools warning for remaining disc space for that drive?
I am using an OWC Mercury Elite AL Pro 2TB external drive with an eSATA connection. Our typical business files can range from 100 to 300MB each. In the Apple Support Mac 101 Time Machine article it states "As your backup disk begins to fill up to its capacity, Time Machine intelligently deletes the oldest backups to make room for newer ones (and will alert you if the "Warn when old backups are deleted" option is selected in Time Machine preferences)." To date, this warning has not appeared making me think no deletions have occurred.
Thanks for any thoughts, Scott

The oldest backup(s) won't be deleted until there isn't room for a new one. And "warning" is a bit misleading -- when there isn't enough space, the backup will fail, without deleting anything, until you deselect the option. See #C4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Note that this has changed for Snow Leopard; it does the deletion(s) automatically, then sends a notice.
and if so should I turn off the Tech Tools warning for remaining disc space for that drive?
Yes. That accomplishes nothing. Time Machine manages it's space automatically.
To date, this warning has not appeared making me think no deletions have occurred.
That's not strictly true; it applies only when Time Machine has to delete your oldest backups to make room for new ones. But it also deletes "expired" backups every time it does a new one. See #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
