Can't delete events

i was trying to make an event that spanned three days and managed finally, but setting the dates section, but now I have multiple events on the days. Want to delete the separate events to just leave the spanned event. I try to highlight and go to Edit and Cut, doesn't work. Tried the hightlight and hit Delete key--nope. What! I mean! really.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you have more than 100 photos in iPhoto's Trash bin move them out and delete only about 100 at a time. iPhoto gags on large number of deletions at a time.
If you have doubts with Time Machine restore one and select the option to keep both versions until you're sure which one you want to keep.

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.

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).

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?

Many thanks!

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!

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.

How can I delete event files from iMovie to save disk space?

I have been shooting a lot of HD video of my son's soccer games and am now realizing some of the problems with the newer iMovie 10. It appears to not allow for partial video deletion of videos in events (really too bad because previous versions of iMovie did this really well), And, sometimes it will not actually move the deleted file to the Trash to help free up disk space on the computer. This is also a problem because I have to did around in the View in Finder mode to find the events I just deleted in order to move them to the Trash manually. Yeegads! All of this said, what I appear to have happening is a huge amount of video that I never plan to keep (most of a 90 minute soccer game does not make it into highlights -- imagine that?) clogging up my hard drive. My poor computer needs to have a cholesteral check.
Any advice on how to manage large video files 40 minute HD files within (or outside) of iMovie 10 so that I can efficiently eliminate irrelevant content and actually delete files to prevent disk overload would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking about using iMovie 9 to edit down and delete the unwanted footage and then update the files into iMovie 10 for some of its bells and whistles any problems with that?
I must admit, I think iMovie 10 is a failure in certain essential ways. It dropped Keywords, its deletion is not true deletion, and it's all or nothing when deleting an event. I have always been a huge Apple fan, but this new release of iMovie 10 has not been a good user experience for me. I have read a lot of feedback from others with similar problems and issues with iMovie 10 and would really like to understand what Apple plans to do to address some of these defficiencies in what will hopefully be a much better next version.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi PGWilli,
If you are satisfied with 8.0 then you shouldn't need 4.01 at all. As long as all your bookmarks and personal information are in the newer version, go ahead and remove the older version.

Can't delete event in imovie

So I was messing with imovie, and I deleted the content, but the event itself won't delete. It keeps saying I have an event from 7/23/14.

Hello xoxoyazyxoxo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To delete an iMovie event please follow the steps below.
Delete movies, trailers, clips, and events
You can delete unwanted movies, trailers, and clips from an event, and you can delete an entire event in order to free up space on your hard disk.
If you don’t see the Libraries list, click the Show button on the left side of the toolbar.
In the Libraries list, select the event you want to delete, or select the event that contains the items you want to delete.
In the browser, select the movies, trailers, or clips you want to delete.Tip: To select multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
Choose File > Move to Trash.If a clip you’re deleting is in use anywhere else in your library, the clip is not deleted.

Can't delete events, or rejected clips, and now hangs on startup

I am using, as far as I know, the latest version 7.1.1. I first started having problems when I couldn't delete a couple of events. I them selected some clips to be rejected, and it marked them appropriately with the red bar. However, it will not allow me to delete these rejected clips. Now the problems are getting worse and I cannot even get '08 to start with hanging up and then I must force it to quit.
I should mention that I between having all these issues I have installed iMovie HD and been using that but for ENTIRELY different clips etc. I have not been sharing things back and forth. HD seems to be working as it should.
I am new to Mac', about 3 months now, and have been using iMovie'08 for a few weeks and found it to be very good. I started to have some problems and found the whole debate about iMovie '08 compared to iMovie HD. All that aside, although I can see how HD has better features than '08, can someone point me in the right direction to get things up and running again.
Thanks very much.

Sorry, I should have added this error message that I get when trying to move the rejected clips to the trash:
The operation could not be completed. * -[NSPlaceholderMutableDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:]: number of objects (0) not equal to number of keys (4)
Perhaps this will help someone with nailing down what the issue is.
Thanks again.

How can I delete events from the iPad calendar?

I can add events although not particularly user friendly. I cannot seem to remove them and/or just reset the whole calendar. At this point, I'll just use my trusty paper planner! I did try searching the forums and looking in the deficient iPad manual. Thanks in advance.

Can't Delete Events or Calendars

Hello,
I have a very modest iCal setup, 3 calendars, syncs only to my personal iPhone, no MobileMe backup.
Today I copied an event to the clipboard and pasted it in somewhere else. That led quickly to a situation where new events and calendars could be created but not deleted. Deleting or moving an event or calendar causes it to reappear immediately. My calendar is now corrupt and full of garbage I can't get rid of.
In order of preference, can someone tell me how to:
1) Stop this happening
2) Restore from iPhone, overwriting the iCal data on the computer
3) Wipe the current iCal calendar entirely so I can start from scratch, as if I had never used iCal before
Option 3 would involve probably less than 5 minutes of work repopulating the new calendar, so if the other two options are difficult or involved, it would be preferable.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The problem is solved.
The command that solved the problem was:
*sudo chmod -a# 0 ~/Library/Preferences/*
The brief shell script that diagnosed the problem was:
#!/bin/sh
*ls -l@ed /*
*ls -l@ed /Library/*
*ls -l@ed /Library/Preferences/*
echo
*ls -l@ed ~/*
*ls -l@ed ~/Library/*
*ls -l@ed ~/Library/Preferences/*
*exit 0*
The problem arose when a calendar event was copied to the clipboard, then pasted back to a different day, during an iTunes 7.1 software update.

Can't delete event

I have tried deleting on the laptop and the item reappears. When I initiate the delete on the iPhone, the event reappears after sync. I have tried clearing the cache and overwriting the phone with the laptop.
Can someone help?

I found the solution that worked for me on a macrumors site, from MacNM:
"Go into iSync, (use macintosh HD, applications), then go to Preferences. Turn off iSync (uncheck enable syncing on this computer). Then Reset Sync History (be sure to push Reset Sync History on second screen too). Then logoff/logon or reboot. Then you can delete calendar events or calendars or whatever you need. If you need to sync again, just go into iSync and re-enable syncing. The problem does not seem to come back. I tried all the other solutions posted and none worked except for this one. "
Although this worked for me, I did end up with a few duplicate entries but I was able to delete them and iCal is working fine for me now, so that was worth it.

In which way can I delete events before one date ?

I don't find the way to do this, Can someone help me ?
Thanks

Not sure if I'm understanding your question, but if you are asking how to delete an Event, select the Event and press Control and press on the touchpad (this emulates a right-click). A window will display with several options, including a "Delete" option.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

How can I delete events, I keep getting multiple dates for an event, have deleted and then continue to re-appear. Any suggestions?

Birthdates entered into the calendar become multiple events. In one case it has repeated itself over 200 times. I have manually deleted these events at least 3 times and they continue to reappear. Any ideas how to correct?

One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

Can't delete event from iCloud

I had a recurring event in one of my iCloud calendars. No matter what I do -- on iCloud or from within iCal -- from deleting each event manually to deleting all at the very beginning and all Future Events, it won't delete. It keeps coming back. The only calendars I have are iCloud -- nothing from Google or computer-only.
Is there a way to force delete an event?

I don't know if this is the same for others who have this problem, but in my case, the stuck event was one that I was invited to by someone else.
I'm not entirely sure I fixed it, but I might have -- while I couldn't edit most of the fields of the event (and get them to stick), I could move it to a different calendar, so I created a dummy calendar, moved it there, and then deleted the calendar. So far, the event from **** hasn't come back...
Good luck!

How can I delete a reacurring calendar event from my iPhone 4?

I recently started at a new company and of course I set up my iphone to sync with my corprate email. Everything works fine accept one thing. A few weeks make a got an Outlook reaccuring request for confrence calls on Thursdays. I accepted the invite. After a few weeks the person in charge of the call felt Wed. would be better. No problem I accepted the new request and it synced with my phone. My problem is even thought I deleted Thursday's reacurring event from Outlook on my computer. It did not remove the event from my phone. Nor can I delete the event from my phone.
I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 6.01 (10A523)
Exchange Server 2007, Version: 08.03.0213.000
We use MS Outlook 2010 as the client.
