Can't delete event or import new events to ical

Hi,
My ical is hung up on an appointment I cannot delete. This is the error message I get. My ical quit working when this appointment repeatively posted for years. I tried to delete it and it won't go away nor can I import events ot appointments to ical.
How do I fix this?
Access to “eArtVolution & the IAE” in “Home” in account “[email protected]” is not permitted.
The server responded:
“403”
to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.
Many thanks!
lisa

Is there anything at all related to this freeze in the Windows Event Viewer?
Are you able to add, remove, or move pages in a new document? Are you able to export a new document to .idml?
Yes, it is able!
It sounds like there may be a corrupt bit of text, or an image in the file. It may be possible to isolate a page, and then an object, using "Divide and Conquer."
Start with a copy of the file, for safety. Try to export the front half and the back half separately. If either half crashes, divide it in half aand try to export those halves. Repeat the process until you have isolated a page that crashes. Now remove half the objects from that page and try to export. If it works, put those back and remove the other half and try again. Repeat as above until you isolate an object.
Thank you, I will try!
After that i will back to you with my comments!
Thank you again, Peter!

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).

I can't delete events recurring annually...not part of birthday calendar, these are events I've added manually. I've tried delete key, cut event, changing to no recurrence, they just revert to original recurrence and will not be removed from my calendar. Events that occur weekly I'm able to delete, this is only happening with events recurring annually. Very frustrating. Thanks for any ideas.

If you are using a PC, log on to iCloud using Safari (rather than Explorer) to reset the photostream. Then turn iPhone/iPad photostream off and back on. I was getting the same server error as you and this advice from another blog worked for my iPhone and iPad. But I still can't get photostream deleted from my apple tv. There does not seem to be a photostream on/off control In Apple tv 4.4 software. I tried switching the screen saver to one of the ones that comes preloaded on the device, then back to photostream but all the old photos are still there. If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.

Hold Power and Home buttons until iPhone restarts. Ignore "Slide to Power off".

Can I make sub-events in iPhoto? Can I delete originals of imported photos?

1) Is there any way I can make sub-events? I have pictures of family members, grouped by one event per member. Is it possible to have a Family event, and then sub events for each member? Is this better addressed through albums?
2) When I download an image from the web to my hard drive and later import it to iphoto, can I delete the originally saved file without affecting the image's place in iphoto?
Thank you for your help,
Conrad

No - there are no sub events - events are time based not subject based
Is this better addressed through albums?
Yes - or keywords and smart albums - what you want is a family folder with albums (smart or otherwise) for each member
2) When I download an image from the web to my hard drive and later import it to iphoto, can I delete the originally saved file without affecting the image's place in iphoto?
Yes - assuming that you are using the default (and highly recommended) "copy items to the iPhoto library" preference being checked (if it is not then you can not delete the "original")
It is not a bad idea to back up your originals and also you should make regular backups of the iPhoto library - and use Old Toad's library6.iPhoto database file backup very often while you are loading and editing photos

Can Not Delete Event Sent by Organizer

Ok, I have an odd and annoying problem.
There are a ton of repeated events in iCal in Dec/Jan (all the same event repeated). I can not delete them as it says "Only the organizer can change this event". Furthermore...
They are now syncing with the iphone but there is no "Delete" button there (as it was sent by someone else).
How can I get rid of these?

Fredrrr,
According to iCal Help "If you can’t change an event or calendar:"
"If you were invited to an event, you can change only your status for the event, the calendar where the event appears, and the event alarm."
Also, read: When Not to Send iCal Invitations - O'Reilly Digital Media Blog, for more information.
I think that YAI, by John Maisey may be able to help you, but I do not know for sure. If he reads this post he will be able to confirm or repudiate my suspicion.
;~)

I can't change events in iCal 5.0.

On my MacBook OS X 10.7.1, I can't make any manual changes to iCal events. When trying to edit an event, any typed change is temporary and the calendar reverts to its previous data right before my eyes. Seems as though iCal can't write or save my changes! Can I delete iCal and re-install it, hopefully resetting any files & permissions to their correct settings?

Hi John,
Thanks for the tip. I created a new "temp" account with system manager/administrator privileges like my MacBook account (with which iCal doesn't work), and tried syncing the calendar from my iPhone to this temp account. I merged the calendar data and successfully added/deleted events on the calendar, both from the MacBook and my iPhone.
So iCal works OK with a new user account, but not with my original account.
I'm pretty sure that I've messed up the permissions on the iCal files associated with my original account, thus causing the problem. I was moving files from my PC to the public folder on the MacBook over the wireless network when I discovered that the files I'd moved to the public folder couldn't be opened or modified because the permissions were insufficient. When I tried to assign read/write permissions to these files on my original account, I must have also clobbered the permissions of the iCal files! (Any advice you have on this issue would also be appreciated!)
Can you tell me how to re-assign the proper permissions to the iCal files for my original account? Where are these files?
Thanks for your help - Tom

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.

Trouble with a script that deletes event in iCal

Used this script over the summer and it worked fine. Can't figure out the issue now, but it isn't working. Here is a few lines of the output I get and then the error I get is at the bottom. I'll post the full script at the bottom of this posting. Error # -1728??? File doesn;t exist?
Thanks,

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,

Please help me
Thank you!
With kind regards,

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.
You can visit http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs for Google Calendar known issues.
You can submit a feature request at https://www.google.com/moderator/#16/e=ba1ca which is also located at the bottom of your Control Panel as ‘Suggest a feature.’ "

Can't add event on iCal via iCloud anymore

Since i update my mac in 10.7.5, it's impossible for me to add an event into iCal it said "Le serveur a répondu « 500 » à l’opération CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation."(yes, it's in french). When i try it on iCloud directly by using safari, it said that the server encounter an error.
So, my event aren't synch anymore on my mac and phone, but my contact still are...
anyone with a clue?
Thanks by advence.

You may have un-selected the default calendar in iCal. Click on "Calendars" in the upper left, and see if any of your calendars are un-selected. (Also, go into iCal preferences and under the General tab see what is your Default Calendar. That's where new events are created.)

How can I delete the All Imported folder on my ipad (imported from an SD card)

When traveling, I import all of the pictures I take each day into the photos app to view the day's results, and provide a back up copy. I then return the SD card to my camera for the next day's use. In this way, at the end of my trip, I have all of my photos on both my SD card (or cards) and also my ipad. When I return home, I load all of my photos into Photoshop on my PC for storage and editing.
I then wish to delete the entire All Imported folder from my ipad. I have not found a way to do this. I could theoretically individually select each photo and then delete them all. This is impractical, however, since I have thousands of pictures on my ipad by the ende of the trip.
I seems to me that there must be a way to delete the entire imported folder, but I can't find it. I can delete folders that I manually create using the edit function, but this doesn't work for the imported folders.
I haven't been able to find a solution on the community or using google. Any help will be appreciated.

The iPhoto App can select all of the photos in the All Imported folder and delete them.

How can i export events from ical to word

I need to use the description of many events from Ical in a text using Word for Mac.
How can I do it?

thisone - Thanks for your response, but unlike most events, this one does not have an edit button before the Event Details screen. In the top right hand corner next to the words 'Event Details' there is just an empty space.
This event is extremely pesky and I have repeatedly synced my phone in attempt to remove it. It was an invitation I accepted for a recurring weekly event, which was sent to an email address for my old job. That email address is no longer active and no longer existing on my phone, but this event continues to show up on my calendar every single Tuesday.
Help?

Can't delete images when importing from camera

I use Nikon Transfer to import images from my digital cameras but now I can't delete the images from the card once transferred. I've also tried Image capture but Delte is greyed out. It seems like a Permissions thing but I'm not sure how to check.
thanks

What he says is +"you want the image being shown to be exactly sized to your screen. Images from almost all modern cameras are much larger in pixel dimensions than your Mac's display, so they will be interpolated down to fit. When they are resized on the fly through interpolation they never look as crisp or pristine."+
The title of the piece is +"Resize Images for iPhoto Slideshows".+ He is talking about you resizing photos before you import so they will match the screen size during the display of a slide show on the screen - not iPhoto changing anything during the import of the photo but during the display of it - This is a bit like the cropping during printing questions - if you want to control exactly have is being shown (or printed) rather than use a generalized scheme to make photos fit a non native size then you much do the changes yourself
I'm sure that he is correct but since I use iPhoto as a photo library manager which lets me show quick and easy slideshows, I have no problem - *my original, unaltered photos are there in iPhoto* and available for use as I see fit - the degree of modification that takes place in the display of a slideshow has never even been noticeable to me - but then I do not see iPhoto as a single purpose slide show viewer - in fact that is a very minor feature for me

The Apple ID has been changed on my iPad but the apps won't update with the new id and password, including the apps that came with the iPad so I can't delete and reinstall with new Apple ID

What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password. Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?

Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps.
