Auto delete on calendar?

Do events on the calendar delete after a certain amount of time and if not is there a way to set this?

There is no setting for this. Deleting a calendar event with iCal or with the iPhone will be reflected in the other after syncing.
There is a setting to not sync events older than - enter the number of days in the space provided, under Calendars for your iPhone sync preferences.

  • Automator script to set up auto-delete in Calendar on MacBook Air

    Use Calendar without synching in iCloud.  Want to auto-delete old events after a specified period, such as two weeks.  Apple Support chat said only way is Automator but they did not provide a script. 

    This is just a guess, but if I were to use Automator to write such a script, it might start like this.  I'm not willing to test it out on my machine, but I'll offer the suggestion to you as a starting point.  You begin by creating a new "service".

  • I deleted a calendar tab. How can I get the data back?

    I accidently deleted the calendar tab of my wife and deleted all her apoointments on her iphone and the iMac. I am in ****. How can I get the calendar data back=?

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone?

    How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone? It allows me to "edit" the event but not to totally delete it. Or at least I can't seem to find a "delete" option anywhere!

    Did you create the event somewhere else?  A lot of time when u create it on lets say PC or mac, you wont be able to edit it unless its from the same device. 
    Its also possible its created under a mail account.  I would suggest making all your events via icloud, then u should be able to edit it on all platforms regardless on which device made the event.

  • How to delete all calendars from icloud?

    So I decided it was finally time to try out iCloud, and immediately regretted this decision when my iCal, Safari bookmarks and Address Book all got messed up in different ways. I've managed to fix all these issues (by signing out of iCloud on all my devices and restoring my bookmarks and address book from backups) and I've deleted all old backups from iCloud so it's now showing 5GB of 5GB as free. And yet, when I went to icloud.com I could still see the calendars and contacts that were there before. I've deleted all the contacts, and all the calendars but one, but when I got to the last calendar and tried to delete it I got the following message : "you need to have at least one calendar that you own. To delete this calendar, create a new one."
    The best part is, even if I create a new calendar there I still get that message when I try to delete the other one. Is it too much to want to simply delete everything off my iCloud? This entire process has been beyond frustrating. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Look like you have duplicate calendars. Find the name of the calendar on your iPhone and the color of the event labels. Then look at your computer. Find the one with the different label/name/color. You can delete that calendar.

  • Delete all calendars from an iCloud account

    Hi  Support Communities,
    did anyone find a way to delete all calendars from an iCloud account? It seems that iCloud wants to keep at least one calendar. We use several accounts and one is only used to look at shared calendars from other accounts. So there is no need for its own empty calendar. On iOS I just hid this calendar, but on OS X it is always visible. I unchecked it, but it would be nice if I could just delete it. If I do so on an iOS device it is gone, but reappears later. Trying to delete it on a Mac results in an error that it can’t be deleted, same goes for the web interface at icloud.com. It’s just a cosmetic issue, but I would prefer it to be gone altogether. Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Björn

    I had hoped I was wrong, you never know. Well, thanks anyway!

  • Delete All Calendars from iPad?

    Simple question; hopefully a simple solution.
    I want to delete all calendars from my iPad2, so that I can then copy the calendars from my Mac onto it?
    I want all of the data deleted from my iPad, and don't want it to show back up again.
    Like I said, it should have a simple solution.
    Thanks!
    Jon
    iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3 14 GB

    Does this help you:

    Repeat the same procedure for all calendars.
    If the calendars came in via an Exchange account, you can remove the calendar syncing by editing the exchange account (settings -> mail, contacts and calendar -> accounts) and switch "calendar" in this (http://blog.fosketts.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Exchange-Account-MCC.png) dialog to off.

  • Auto delete everything but specified folder contents from txt file

    Hey Guys,
    I am brand new to using Powershell (like 48 hours into using it for work) and I've run into a bit of an issue.  I've only taken a programming concept classes so some of the stuff makes sense to me but a lot of it is new.  Basically I've made a
    script that automatically deletes any files over X amount of days.  My next step is to have an exceptions text that will have a list of folders that should not have its contents deleted.  This is what I have so far.
    $Date= Get-Date 
    $Days = "7"
    $Folder = "C:\publicftp\users"
    $LastWrite = $Now.AddDays(-$Days)
    #----- getting DO NOT DELETE listing from TXT ----#
    $Exceptions = Get-Content "c:\exclude.txt"
    $Files = Get-Childitem $Folder -Recurse -Exclude "c:\exclude.txt" | Where {$_.LastWriteTime -le "$LastWrite"}
    foreach ($File in $Files)
        if ($File -ne $NULL)
            Remove-Item $File.FullName -Exclude $Exceptions | out-null
    I've seen a lot of threads that show how to auto delete contents or how to exclude specific file types but I haven't seen an answer to my particular problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

    Hi Rabbot,
    The script below may be also helpful for you, and uses the -whatif parameter in Remove-Item cmdlet, which doesn’t actually remove anything but simply tells you what would happen if you did call Remove-Item.
    $Exceptions = @()
    Get-Content "c:\exclude.txt" | foreach{
    $Exceptions += $_} #store the exception file to array
    $Folder = "C:\publicftp\users"
    $LastWrite = (get-date).adddays(-7) #over 7 days.
    $Files = Get-Childitem $Folder -Recurse | Where {$_.LastWriteTime -le $LastWrite} #filter files which over 7 days.
    Foreach ($file in $files){
    if ($Exceptions -notcontains $file.fullname){ #if the file is not listed in the exception array.
    Remove-Item $File.FullName -whatif} #use -whatif to test
    I hope this helps.

  • TS1906 How do I delete a calendar in iCal?

    I no longer own a Mac 4G tower as the product info suggests but am using and iMac with Lion. I can't seem to delete unneeded calendars and can't print a birthday calendar with only birthday info including. I am becomimg increasingly frustrated with the limitations of this calendar. I have used a Palm Pilot calendar for a good many years and I think Apple can do better than Palm.

    I have the same issue. I have even deleted my icloud account, deleted the calendar from my ipad, created a new icloud calendar and seconds later the deleted calendar is back.
    Really, it is not possible to delete a calendar from your iPad?

  • How do I delete a calendar event (repeating daily forever) that I accepted on my iPhone from a mobileMe iCal invite?

    Hi,
    I'd like to know how to delete a calendar event from my iPhone4 (iOS 5.1) calendar. The event was sent to me from a mobileMe synced iPhone4 (iOS 5.1) calendar and for some reason it was set to daily repeat forever.
    The event has been deleted from the originators calendar now, but the result has not been propagated to my calendar, despite an update being sent out. When I attempt to accept it just hangs and doesn't update in my calendar.
    More annoyingly, the event doesn't have an edit button in my calendar, so I cannot delete it (and all other occurences) myself.
    Any ideas on how to remove it?
    Thanks,
    Rich

    A workaround. Not perfect but it gets rid of it.
    Do the below link's steps and then deselect that calendar from view.

  • Deleting blank Calendars in iCloud and on iDevices

    I have consolidated all my calendars into a single calendar, now my default. I have three empty and un needed calendars left and want to delete them.  When I select them on my iDevices (pad phone) while in the calendar app or in Settings, I can see no way to delete the references to them. They are unchecked.
    How do I remove them from the iDivices? 
    Likewise when I open the calendar  in iCloud on my WIN 7 PC I see no way to delete them, the delete key is non functional in iCloud. I can edit the name but can't delete.
    Thanks

    To delete iCloud calendars from your iPhone, open the calendar app, tap Calendars at the bottom, tap Edit at the top, tap the calendar you want to delete, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Calendar.

  • My 2nd gen touch no longer adds changes from my Outlook 2003 calendar during sync. I even deleted the calendar from the iPod

    My 2nd gen touch no longer adds changes from my Outlook 2003 calendar during sync. I even deleted the calendar from the iPod & when I added it back, I still got old data. Any ideas?

  • My iphone 5 has been deleting my calendar. This is the third time- now it deletes my contacts, notes and reminders as well. Why is it doing this, and how can I restore everything?

    My iPhone 5s has been deleting my calendar. First time, just the calendar, then next time the calendar and contacts, then yesterday, calendar, contacts, notes and reminders. The phone is only 6 months old or so and is on iOS 7.1.2 (although I need to update it- but have to do some storage management first...)
    I have looked at my calendar in my icloud account and it is a week or so out of date, even though it supposedly backed up from my phone on Friday. I am becoming very frustrated by this. Am I doing something wrong? Advice would be much appreciated. In the past I have deleted my icloud account from my phone and then re-signed in, as well as sharing my calendar with myself to restore it, and it works eventually.

    Sorry I misstyped- it is an iphone 4s.

  • Podcasts no longer "Auto Delete"

    Hello,
    Wasn't sure which forum was best for this but just wanted to voice my frustration with Itunes 7.7 and the fact that my podcasts no longer "Auto-Delete" after being played. I checked my settings for each podcast and they are still set to "AUto-Delete". If anyone has any suggestions, please respond.
    Thanks!

    The auto-delete functionality in iTunes refers to deleting the podcasts from your computer. The control for removing played podcasts from the device is on the podcasts tab available when the device is attached.
    Whether or not podcasts are auto-deleted from you computer is based on the podcasts settings in iTunes. The settings button is on the bottom of the podcasts page (next to the undelete button). In the popup window under "Settings for:", select "Podcast Defaults" to change to default for all podcasts, or a specific podcast that you want to behave differently from the default settings.
    When choosing "Podcast Defaults", the two selections at the bottom of the window will be unlocked. When choosing any single podcast, uncheck the "Use Defaults" checkbox to unlock these fields.
    Changing the selection "When new episodes are available:" will affect how many (zero, one, or all) podcasts to download.
    Changing the selection "Episodes to keep:" will affect which, if any, podcasts are auto-deleted.
    As to removing podcasts from the device, this changed for me with the most recent update to the iPod software. Podcasts are removed from the iPhone if they have been played, but they remain on the iPod until they have been deleted from iTunes. I have not experienced a case where a podcast persisted on the device after it was deleted from the computer. I am hopeful that Apple will fix this with the next iPod software update.

  • Adobe Reader leaving temp files, which are not auto-deleting.

    Adobe reader is leaving temp files all over and I can't delete them. The temp files are left in my "My Documents" folder, which is redirected to the server. Anytime I open a PDF, it leaves a temp file (ie:U17F7.tmp) and it does not auto-delete. The temp files are 0 bytes in size, just really annoying when my folders get cluttered with all these temp files.  I also cannot delete the files, because it says the location is incorrect. I am able to delete the temp files when I'm not connected to the company network. How do I get these temp files to remove themselves once I close out of Adobe Reader?  This is driving me crazy!

    Hi burdurboy05
    What is the version of reader that you're using?
    Are you trying to print files ?
    Did you try to uninstall and re-install the product?
