Cannot delete recurring events in calendar

All of a sudden, with the (TERRIBLE) changes of iOS 7, recurring events will not delete or be changed. Each time I try to delete or even change an event, it walks through the correct process tellingme that it is a recurring event and asking if I want to delete just this one or all future events. I say all future. All's good. It goes away. then 5 seconds later it shows up again! Same thin when I try to edit or move an event. I have tried on all my devices to delete the same event -- it always returns!
I am running iMac intel with OS X 10.9
iPhone & iPad iOS 7
and I am at a loss as how to do it differently.
I found on earlier sites to put " sudo chmod -a# 0 ~/Library/Preferences/ into terminal -- but Termal came back with "
chmod: No ACL present '
Any thoughts? Anyone else having this problem?

Is this a synced calendar or just on the phone?
For a synced calendar, you will need to go to the Settings App > Mail,Contacts,Calendar and remove it from there.
For a calendar on the device, open the calendar app > Calendars > Seelct the calendar(s) in question (tap on the blue arrow to the right) > scroll down and tap Delete Calendar.

Cant delete recurring event from iMac to Macbook Air

I Cant delete recurring event from iMac to Macbook Air.
I have an event scheduled for Wednesday each week, I delete it at end of day. If i delete it on my Macbook Air it deletes fine on my iMac just fine. But if i delete it on my iMac first it stays on my Macbook Air...
I check the preferences and both computers are configured the same way..
It use to work before i upgraded both computers to Yosemite...

Yes and no. AirDrop is used to send a file from one computer to another. A Contact isn't a file so AirDrop isn't the best way to move contacts from one computer to another. If you own both an iMac and MBA and want to keep the two computers synced, the easiest way is to create an iCloud account on both computers. Any calendar event, to do, contact, or note you create on one will sync to the other. If you just bought a MBA and want to move data to it from your iMac you should use Apple's migration assistant. Personally I think the easiest way to migrate is to perform a backup of the old computer to a USB external drive using TimeMachine and then connect the TimeMachine to the new computer and use Migration Assistant.
But can you exchange contacts using AirDrop? Yes. Select the contact(s) you want to transfer, export them as vcards to a temporary folder. Then AirDrop the folder to your MBA. Now run Contacts and then drag the vcards onto the Contacts program icon in the Dock.

Google Cal won't let me delete recurring events in iCal on a certain Mac?

My company uses a Google public calendar for everyone in the company to schedule events and see what's going on. My new Macbook Pro can edit that calendar freely as does my Macbook. However if I'm on my iMac, I get this bizarre error when deleting recurring events. What in the world does this mean?
"HTTP/1.1 409 Can only store an event with a newer DHSTAMP"
I looked up the error in Google's Cal Help, which was useless unless you are a physicist or programmer working for them. Made not one bit of sense to me.
What can I do? It's making me crazy!!!!

How do I delete multiple events in Calendar on iPhone or iCloud?

If I want to delete multiple events in Calendar on iPhone or iCloud, is there any way to do it?
I don't want to be clicking / tapping for hours...
Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, I don't believe that's possible.

Why can't I set a relative date for a recurring event in calendar on my ipod touch?

why can't I set a relative date for a recurring event in calendar on my ipod touch?

Because The Calendar app does not support it. There are apps in the App store that do.

I have Calendar v 7.0 and Entourage 12.3.6 2008 on OS X 10.9.2. I cannot import Entourage events into Calendar - this was never an issue with iCal. Whats happened and how can I import details into Calendar or do I need iCal back?

Deleted recurring events still show up on iPad/iPhone/Macbook Calendars

Trying to view several calendars for the purpose of project management. Here is the problem step by step:
1) If I am UserA and have my calendar set up as Exchange or CalDav with FULL rights, I can add, delete or edit all events as needed. I can add recurring events and DELETE one or more occurrences of the recurring event and have THAT show up correctly on my iPad.
2) If UserB sets up his calendar and gives me read access, I can SUBSCRIBE to his calendar using normal "other / caldav" subscription settings and view it properly. No problem.
3) If UserB sets up a recurring event (lunch meeting at noon every Monday), that shows up properly on my iPad. No problem.
4) If UserB is going to be out of town or decides to cancel his lunch meeting for some other reason, he can on his own machine (Outlook, Mac Calendar, iPad with Exchange full account) delete that event. No problem for HIM.
5) On MY iPad, the subscribe calendar never shows anything different. The same recurring events continue to display even if UserB has delete one OCCURRENCE of the event. This IS a problem. My view of his calendar is now incorrect. Yeah, yeah, one meeting one day is not a problem. But multiply that by several users, multiple deletions of recurring events, and suddenly the whole shooting match is out of whack.
6) I can refresh the calendar to my heart's content, but nothing changes.
7) Here's the kicker: I can DELETE the subscribed calendar and RESUBSCRIBE to it. This forces a completely fresh download to my iPad. Doesn't change a thing. The same recurring events still override ANY deletions that the user made to individual instances of the events.
In looking at the raw ICS file which I can download via a web browser, an entry might look like this:

EXDATE:20130225T223000Z
END:VEVENT
You can easily see that the EXDATE shows a deletion for 2013-02-25 as well as other dates. Doesn't matter. They STILL show up on the iPad and in the Mac OSX Calendar.
I consider this a bug. I hope an Apple employee sees and responds to this. I would welcome any thoughts, workarounds or suggestions that could help with this.
Yes, I can tell users to only put INDIVIDUAL events on their calendar. But, let's face it. It's easier to put a recurring event and delete one or two instead of putting 50 recurring events for the whole year.
And, of course, Outlook displays things properly as do similar CalDav clients.

Exact same issue here. Individual events deleted from a recurring appointment continue to show up in Calendar (OS X 10.8.2). Same events do not show up on calendar if viewed via outlook from my desk PC or view outlook web app from anywhere.
Clearly a bug.

Cellphone calendar won't delete recurring events

I have an LG Cosmos 2, and lately it won't let me delete calendar events that are recurring events. When I try to, a message appears that says "can't insert this exception" when I choose "just this event". It has only started doing this recently, and I'm doing nothing different. What's causing this?

Thank you for the information, tthompson515!
Are you able to delete normal events that are not recurring? If this issue persists, we may need to backup the phone and complete a factory reset. Here is how: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/31087/
Contacts can be backed up with Backup Assistant.

O365 Calendar query - cannot identify recurring events

I am having trouble finding a way to efficiently handle recurring events through the O365 API. There
does not seem to be a straightforward way to identify if an event recurs.
I am using the O365 API to display calendar events within a specified day on my web app. The user
picks a day, and my app displays the events for that day mirroring what is shown in OWA. I am querying the calendar events endpoint (../Me/Calendar/Events) and filtering the results using $filter in the query to narrow the response down to events for that
day.
However, this approach does not catch recurring events since the query only returns original event
objects, not their recurrences.
To solve that problem, I was hoping to query that same endpoint and filter off of the "Recurrence"
property. I found that this property is always null. However, if I query a specific event using its ID (../Me/Calendar/Events(<event id>)), the response includes everything I need to reconstruct the recurrence pattern (i.e. frequency, day of week, #
of occurrences, etc.).
Although this gives me a way to handle recurring events, it is very inefficient to loop through each
event to check for recurrences. This option is impractical since I would have to check all events ever created.
Has anyone else come across this and is there a good way of handling recurring events through the
O365 API?

I found another property called "Type" which is of model
Microsoft.Exchange.Services.OData.Model.EventType. The value "SeriesMaster" indicates that the event recurs, while "SingleInstance" is a one-time event. I tried using O365's $filter to filter the query as shown below
...<api_endpoint>?$filter=Type eq Microsoft.Exchange.Services.OData.Model.EventType'SeriesMaster'
This query returns no values back.
My other option, which is to get all events and filter on this property, will work and is much better than the previous option I posted above, but impractical for a user with many events.
Is there a way to filter on this property via http query?

How to show next instance of Recuring Event in Calendar List View

We have a calendar that we are using to display upcoming events. However we are unable to get a clean output of next instance date for recurring events such as paydays or monthly meetings. As opposed to showing next instance it shows the date
the event was originally put in the calendar.
I am guessing it will take a custom script, but I don't even know where to begin with that.

Hi Swen,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display the recurring events as separated events in the calendar list view.
I recommend to create a Standard View, with Expanded Recurring Events for the calendar list,
and each instance of a recurring event will be showing in this view.

Outlook connector shows some deleted recurring events

We discovered an oddity that appears to be with the way Outlook shows a recurring event (seems to be an interpretation problem while reading and partially while writing). I'm using the connector from 139162-03 in either Outlook 2003 or 2007 set to sync calendar events every 1 minute and SCS6u2 on the backend with patches from around 2 months ago.
Simplest way to reproduce:
- On either a Sun web interface or in Outlook, create an event that recurs daily for 2 instances (or any equivalent way of making it recur twice, such as by setting the end date)
- If you delete the second instance from the Web, Outlook will display it fine (given ample time to sync up completely).
- If you delete the second instance from Outlook, the Web will display it fine, but the second instance will reappear in Outlook
- Considering the previous two lead to a difference while the result on the web looks the same, there is probably a difference in the ICS for those events on the server but I have not checked.
- Similar things hold true for deleting certain days of the even when recurring more than 2 times.
- If only the original recurrence is modified, the deleted recurrence re-appears in Outlook with similarities to the original event, not the one that was deleted.
- I'm not 100% sure on most of the behavior description since I may have been confused by changes that have not completely propagated through yet, but one thing I am sure of is a 2 day recurring event will have the second instance show back up pretty soon if the second instance is deleted in Outlook.
Initially I'm wondering if anyone else can reproduce this. We will most likely take it up with Sun's support soon but I thought I would try here first. Thanks.

I was able to find two recently created bugs which I assume are related to problem behaviour:
bug #6874243 - "deleted instances of a recurring series are still visible in OC"
bug #6883111 - "Moving an instance of a recurring event with attendees actually moves the first instance"

ICal hanging when trying to edit/delete recurring event

I have a calendar entry in iCal that recurs every week through the end of the year. I know this particular entry is causing issues in iCal so I have tried deleting it and/or editing it, and every time I do, it hangs iCal. Any thoughts/ideas? I do sync to a Palm using MissingSync but this calendar entry does not show up on my Palm so I can't delete it there. Any ideas? I would just like to delete the entry.

Wow, just found the answer - YzGy posted this link <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7449164&#7449164> and I did as instructed and I'm back up and running. For some reason, this recurring event was on my calendar 12,300 times.

Deleting recurring birthdate in Calendar

I have set up a recurring birthdate in Calendar from my iPad & it is the wrong day. I can find nothing in the user manual about how to delete the date & when I view the details, there is no "delete" option. Help please!

If your iPad or iPhone calendar is linked to Google Calendar, go your Google Calendar and delete it there. The change will be reflected on your device. It appears you cannot delete a recurring appointment in GC from the iPad or iPhone but you can from GC.
