Can't delete an ical event

i schedule an event in ical to "never" expire. i had set the event to remind me everyday until i had performed the task. once i was ready to delete the event it would not let me. what would happen is it would let me delete the evet but would show back up in 3 to 4 seconds. i've tried changing the end date and that didn't help, it would default back to the original setting.
however, i can delete them one at a time, that does work, however i need the "delete all future events" to work. any suggestions?
thanks

Contacts' birthdays and eventsWhen you subscribe to this calendar, all of your contacts' birthdays will display as All Day events in Google Calendar. Data is pulled from Google Contacts, which you can access via http://www.google.com/contacts (or, if you have a Gmail account, click Contacts from your inbox).
Have you tried removing the date from your Gmail contacts?

I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone.

I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone. It does not have the edit button at the top of the screen.
The event does not show up in iCal on my Mac or on my iCloud.
One of these is a reoccuring event.

The only other thing I can think of is to try deleting the entire calendar from your iPhone and then sync your iCal calendar to your phone again. This needs to be done carefully. I would begin by backing up your iCal calendar on your mac for safekeeping by opening iCal, then going to File>Export>Export, save this on your desktop. Then do the following:
On your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turn Calendars to Off. You should get a prompt asking you whether to keep or remove the calendar data from your phone. Choose to remove it.
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to iTunes>Preferences, go to the Devices tab check "Prevent...from automatically syncing".
Now connect your phone and, as before, go to the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings. Confirm that you have checked to Sync Calendars with iCal, then further down under Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone check Calendars, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.
This should transfer your iCal calendar to your iPhone, hopefully this time without the problem event. Check your phone to confirm that this was successful, then you can then go back to iTunes Preferences and re-enable automatic syncing.

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and let it sync with my Macbook and now all my iPhone iCal entries are gone. How can I get my iCal events back on my iPhone?

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and let it sync with my Macbook (running Lion) and now all my iPhone iCal entries are gone. How can I get my iCal events back on my iPhone?

Me too! Help anyone?

HT202297 I can't drag my ical events over to the reminders list.

I can't drag my ical events over to the reminders list (that's not there anymore) like I used to be able to do. Why?

What version of iphoto? If it's iPhoto 11:
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?
Iphoto 09 or earlier
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window +should+ open with the file selected. Does it?

Shouldn't I get a confirmation dialog when I delete an iCal event?

Shouldn't I get a confirmation dialog when I delete an iCal event? When I select an event and hit the delete key, the event is deleted without a confirmation dialog. Aren't we supposed to get a confirmation dialog? I thought I used to get one. This is not good because I sometimes accidentally hit the delete key when working in iCal and the event is gone and I didn't notice that it happened.

Don't know about 10.8, but in 10.6 you don't get one for an ordinary event.

How can I get my ical events from my iMac to my iPhone? Anything I entered into ical on my iPhone will transfer to ical on iMac when plugged in, but not vice versa.

How can I get my ical events from my iMac to my iPhone? Anything I entered into ical on my iPhone will transfer to ical on iMac when plugged in, but not vice versa. I think I have changed my iPhone (after looking at similar questions) to iCloud, but it's still not syncing.

You need to sign into your iCloud account on your Mac, and check the Calendar option. System Preferences>iCloud, sign on your iCloud account, check the apps you want to sync with your device.

How can non-visible orphan iCal events be deleted?

Bear with me, this is going to sound very confusing.
I have reported this via the iCal feedback on Apple's Product Feedback main page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
but nothing has changed (not surprising, but more on that later).
My wife publishes her calendar from her computer to MobileMe via iCal (version 3.0.8 on OS X 10.5.8). I subscribe to it on my computer via iCal (version 4.0 on OS X 10.6.1). In her iCal and my iCal, all appears OK. But when I view her published calendar in a web browser (right-click in iCal to "Show Calendar on MobileMe") two orphan all-day events appear (one on 20 October and one on 27 October). And since her calendar appears in my iCal, her calendar appears on my iPhone (OS 3.1.2) AND those two orphan events appear on the iPhone. When the wife logs into her MobileMe account via the web interface and views her calendar, the two orphan events DO NOT appear. Since the two events do not appear to her she can not delete them. But they are cluttering up my iPhone calendar display!
To recap:
The two orphan events appear:
- on my iPhone in the Calendar app
- via a web browser on my Mac
The two orphan events DO NOT appear:
- on wife's iCal
- on wife's MobileMe account
- my iCal via subscription to wife's calendar
The wife did a Sync reset. No change. She unpublished her calendar and I unsubscribed. After waiting 3 days, she published her calendar again, I then re-subscribed. The two orphan events re-appeared but can't be deleted since they don't appear in her iCal or MobileMe account.
So, there are two questions:
1. How does she delete these orphan events since she can not see them?
2. How does my iPhone get them since they don't appear in my iCal and why do they appear via a web browser if they don't appear for her?
I mentioned earlier that I've reported this via Apple's feedback page. I have reported many iCal publish and subscribe problems over the past year. But I have decided that no one at Apple actually ever sees this feedback. Why do I think that? Because, not only have I reported problems with the application, I have also reported problems with the feedback page itself. For example, the latest version of iCal shown on the page is 3.0. How long has 4.0 been out? Also, the page still references ".Mac". Huh? Gee, I thought that was re-branded to MobileMe a long time ago. Since Apple has not updated the feedback page, no one at Apple must be monitoring feedback submitted via those pages, or perhaps they just don't care anymore about their Product Feedback pages. At least, that is the impression they give.
Thanks for the time and any suggestions on how to get the two orphan events to go away. --Mike

Wish I could help.
Instead, I'll simply let you know that you are not alone. The only difference is that I have an orphan calendar that appears on my iPhone.
Said calendar does NOT appear in iCal on my MBP NOR does it appear in Mobile Me.
I do not sync via iTunes.
I would LOVE to know how to delete it as it creates duplicate events for me.

I can't delete an ical calender

I have an Ical calander that seems to pop up everytime in the appointmens sections. In the Ical calenders it doesn;t show this particular calender. I'm not syncing to an external server. Cause I don't see the calender I can't delete the calender. I have deleted the content of the library/calander section and the associated plist files. But still the appointenments to this calander do show up.
Tips to solve this problem or how really delete this "not present" calander would be appreciated.
Thanks

Can''t Stop Repeating iCal Event Alert!

I am receiving repeating text messages for two iCal events. I can't make them stop. They are being resent over and over again. Well over 100 times today. I've deleted the events from both the iPhone and iCal on the computer the iPhone syncs to. Nothing makes them stop. Help!

Taking one for the team and on the phone with AppleCare right now. I'll try to take good enough notes to post back here. If nothing else, I'll see if I can post the support notes as documented by the rep as soon as it's published:
On the phone with second person who is taking notes before transfering me to a third. While I'm waiting, thought I'd share what the first person had me do.Note that this did NOT fix this or any of what I suspect are Finder issues but it can help with some system wide glitches. In any case, it can't hurt:
Reset PRAM. This is easy.
1. Shut down your computer completely.
2. Turn it back on and immediately, hold down the Control, Option, P and R keys.
3. You will hear the usual chime.
4. Keep holding them down until you hear it chime a second time and then let go.

Imported iPhoto library, can I delete the iPhoto events?

Hi,
I'm very new to Aperture, so far I'm impressed.
I have imported my iPhoto library and now I see a folder called 'iPhoto Lirary' that contains 'Events' and then events (that look like Aperture projects).
The question is, can I delete the 'iPhoto Library' folder?
and also, can I, delete the Aperture projects without impacting the actual pictures?
Thanks!!

Gecko,
The library is the humongous collection of files and relationships between the files -- it is the Aperture database, stored in a Mac OS "Package". It's the thing you "open", like you open a document or spreadsheet to see what you've previously stored in it.
A Project is a logical group of photos within a library. Aperture allows you to create as many projects as you like within your library, and you can store as many photos as you like within each project (although some users here have found poor performance with 2000+ photos in a single project).
What I wasn't clear with was, are the photos stored in the library and files I see in a Project are 'sortcuts' to the photos in the library?
I suppose that depends on your point of view concerning referenced versus managed. I prefer to think that all my photos are part of the Aperture library, but only the managed masters are actually stored within the library. With that line of thinking, all of my photos in a project are the actual photos - some of them are stored within the library (managed) and some are stored outside (referenced). When I think of "shortcuts", I think of albums. Albums in Aperture are like playlists in iTunes. A photo lives in one project in your library, but you can point to that photo in a many different albums. Aperture doesn't take up extra space in each of the albums; rather it just points back to (is a short cut to) the photo in a project.
If I Import into a Project, are the photos stored in the Library?
You should make sure you read about masters versus versions. It's hard to talk about how Aperture works (with even an innocuous sounding question like yours) without understanding masters versus versions. Master photos are stored in the library package if they are managed; they are stored where you tell Aperture to store them if they are referenced. Versions aren't really stored anywhere -- they are virtual, merely a set of instructions on how to manipulate (adjust) a master. However, thumbnails and previews for all photos are stored within the library.
Aperture tries to minimize the necessity to know if your photos are references or managed -- it really should not matter since Aperture is keeping track of them all. With Aperture, that distinction between managed and referenced is relevant in only 2 conditions: only managed masters are backed up when you create a vault; and only masters which are immediately accessible can be edited with adjustments. For the latter, that means that 1) all managed photos, and 2) only referenced photos which are on a drive which is currently connected to your system, are available for adjustments.

Can't delete or import event

I'll create a new event in my iMovie library (let's call it DVD1) and I'll import video from my video folder from iSkySoft Video Conversion. The video will upload fine. But then once I exit out of iMovie and go back into it, the event title (DVD1) will be displayed on the left handside under my iMovie Library but there will be no video in it. It says DVD1 is empty, so I've tried re-importing it but whenever I select my video I want to import and then hit "Import Selected" on the bottom right nothing happens. I've also tried deleting DVD1 so I will click on it and then click on "Move Event to trash" and nothing happens. So now I have about 20 of those DVD1's and not only can I not add media to them but I also can't delete them.
I've tried updating my software on my computer, I've tried uninstalling iMovie and re-installing and both have not worked.

Not sure if this is the same as my problem, but there are definite similarities.
when I accept an invitation on my ipad, the invitation chooses whichever calendar it wants (usually the wrong one) and I can't choose which calendar an event goes to.   And yes, the obvious answer of setting the default calendar on all my devices is not the problem.
I also do not have the ability to delete or edit the appointment on the iPad.
In my case, I can go to my mac and edit/delete there, but I shouldn't have to break out my mac every time I accept an appointment on my ipad.
For what it's worth, the upgrade to mountain lion did add a "delete" option to calendar invitations that wasn't there before.   But still, I CANT DO ANYTHING with the invitation on my ipad either before or after accepting it.

I can't delete this ghost event off my calendar!

I had a daily event reminder on my iPhone from my Google calendar for a group mtg that was recently cancelled( It was created by another individual.) I'm still getting the reminder for the event 30 mins. before the event, and at the time of the event. I used to get an email reminder as well, but stopped when we no longer had our mtgs, but I still get the iPhone event reminders. It's ghosted out on my iPhone calendar, so I can't delete it. Also, when I check my Google calendar, that event is no where to be found, even when I check back the previous months. How do I delete this from my calendar so I don't get the reminders any more?
I tried turning off calendars from iCloud syncing, and deleting previous events from my iPhone, but when I turned it back on, that event is still there. Also, the event doesn't appear on my iCloud calendar as well.

See if you can go to your Calendars App and select a previous event to see what Calendar the event was added to (iCloud or Yahoo). After that is determined you can go to www.iCloud.com or calendar.yahoo.com and add the event there to see if it will populate on your device. Another troubleshooting step is deleting the iCloud account from your device and also deleting the Yahoo account. Then check to see if you can add an event without it syncing to a email. If you can then it may have just been a bug and you can add both accounts back and try adding the event again. I would also recommend only using one service to sync your Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, etc. Such as either iCloud only or Yahoo only, as using multiple accounts means your data is spread around and can be hard to isolate when something goes wrong.

How can I delete my iCal on iCloud

I have a calendar that has duplicates on it.
How can I delete that calendar in iCloud only?

You could delete them all at once by visiting iCloud.com on a computer, selecting the first contact, shift clicking the last, to select them all and then choosing delete from the menu under the gear icon.
