Cant delete iCal calendar

I subscribed to a calendar a couple years ago but it is no longer relevant and I want to delete it from my list of calendars in iCal. I keep trying to delete it, but after a couple of minutes it reappears. How can I really delete this calendar? Is there a way to "unsubscribe" from subscribed calendars, other than the "delete" function? If I have calendars connected with my iPone via iCloud, do I have to delete it on both devices?

Hey FH678,
Thanks for the question. Let’s check to see where this subscribed calendar is located. To do so, right click on the calendar name in the sidebar, and choose “Get Info”:
If the “Location” of the calendar is set to something other than “On my Mac”, go ahead and change it. Once the subscribed calendar is stored locally on your Mac, quit and reopen the Calendar application and attempt to Delete the calendar once more.

Thanks,

ITunes only shows old deleted iCal calendars

My iTunes only shows old deleted iCal calendars. How do I get it and iCal resynced?

That was useful help. I thought iSync was cremated 2 years ago with the advent of Tiger and was only used to sync phones and pdas. Further, I have searched 'elsewhere' and have not found any other solutions.

Deleting iCal Calendars

My iCal calendar list includes calendars that I have deleted from my Google Calendar. Deleting them in iCal get an error message, "`the server responded with an error: calendar.google (my account).... is not a location that supports the request." If anyone has an a suggestion of how to get rid of these old cals, which appear on all my devices, it wold be very much appreciated!

I just found a solution: 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.

Deleted iCal Calendar

Hello,
I inadvertently deleted a calendar in iCal. I sync via iCloud across several devices and once deleted by accident on one, it wiped it out. I back-up using CrashPlan and attempted to restore the entire folder Users->Username->Library->Calendars. It caused iCal to crahs 2X but after restarting my computer it will open but without the missing calendar.
1. Is that calendar still saved somewhere?
2. Do I need to restore the whole computer to earlier today?

Tim,
I'm not familiar with CrashPlan.
Perhaps the instructions listed in: Restoring iCloud calendars from Time Machine, by Roger Wilmut can be adapted to your situation.
Good Luck.

Restoring deleted iCal calendars and reading iCal log?

Hello,
I am running OS X Server 10.6.8, and one of the features I have enabled is iCal. Several people at our office have access to this Caldav account (just one account signed in on multiple machines/calendars). Over the weekend something (or someone) happened and now all but 1 of the calendars are gone! So I have a few questions, and I'm hoping someone can help answer them...
1. If a user deletes calendars, are they actually gone? Do they remove themselves from the server/user machines, or is the information still there just not being displayed?
2. Can I restore the calendars from a Time Machine backup? According to this article from Apple, I cannot: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH8417
3. The log has been running at Debug for a few weeks, so theres a ton of information to sort through. I have little to no idea of what the log is saying, I can't really make heads or tails of it. The only thing I am interested in is the deleted calendars - who, what, when, and where? Does anybody know how to weed through the logs to find this information?
Please let me know if anyone can offer any help, it would be much appreciated. If you need more info/system specs please let me know. Thanks!

In answer to my own question, you can indeed restore the iCal data from Time Machine. By restoring the entire /Library/CalendarServer folder I was able to re-attained my missing calendars.
But the question of reading the log still irks me - can anyone help me sort through these logs to find exactly when the calendars were deleted? Any tips for sorting, or keyworks to filter, to help me locate what happend? Many thanks in advance.

Serious Duplicates Issue with iCal calendars

I purchased a new mini this week to replaced a failed system After setting up a new account I tried merging the data I had on the system (which was migrated off a back up system I had available), The sync spawned about 15 copies of a half dozen calendars plus that I maintain. Mobileme still looked perfect, but my desktop system iCal client was a mess.
I spent an hour and a half in chat with the mobile me support people and they declared I did not have a synce issue, it was an app issue. They suggested I delete iCal. We got half way there when they threw in the towl and sent me to the intergrated apps folks.
The first iApp tech told me we needed to renstall iCal from the original disk. In the middle of looking for the disks we gotcut off. The next tech explained that I could not just replace iCal, I had to do an operating system reinstall, so I did.
After deleting files from the HC and user libraries for iCal, I found it still did not wor and reinstalling the o/s, it still had over a humndred calendar instances show up. So, I tried to go back to hand removing each calendar one at a time. I did this for about a dozen. Then they inexplicably showed back up. I can't delete them they keep showing up (but not on Mobileme). THey reappear as if by majic; I have sync set to manual so I don't even understand what process is going out and retrieving the duplicates again.
I invested about 5 hours with apple today, with no resolution. Deleted accts, pref files, app, reinstalled o/s. They've closed my ticket without confirming my issue was resolved and are now closed for the day. Very frustrating, I've had sync issues of the years from time to time, but this is baffling.
Any suggestions? Deeply appreciate any help, I'm make a living as consultant and this is eating my lunch.
Thanks!

Have had this problem recently. Even after Upgrade to Snow Leopard; also installed Office 2008 with Entourage. The duplication continues and deleting iCal calendars and then repopulating does not keep the entries from multiplying. I have cleaned the calendar and backed it up in Entourage, but syncing really is not working properly. This is a real pain since you can't sync the iPod or iphone through iCal to Entourage.

Anyone know why I cant delete events on my ical?

Anyone know what I cant delete events on my ical?

It is obviously awhile back since the question was posted, but I ran into the same problem just yesterday. For purpose of this discussion, I will assume the problem is that of deleting calendars from an iOS device. You should be able to delete your own created event by tapping on the event, then scroll all the way to the bottom of the edit dialog window and tap "Delete Event". To delete your own created calendar, tap on "Calendars" tab at top left of opened iCal app (on iPad). Then tap on "Edit" tab in the dialog window that comes up. Then tap on calendar you wish to delete. Go to bottom of "Edit Calendar" dialog window and tap on "Delete Calendar".
The above directions will likely NOT work to delete a "subscribed" calendar. I tried, and the calendar kept coming back like a bad habit. It appears that subscribed calendars need to be deleted via iOS settings. Tap on iOS "Settings" icon, then tap on settings for "Mail, Contacts, Calendars". Under the heading "Accounts", find, and tap on "Subscribed Calendars". Then tap on the calendar you wish to delete. Scroll to the bottom of that calendar's dialog window, and tap "Delete Account". This worked for me.

Why does my ical calendar list not reflect what is in my calendar. It has all the deleted calendars?

I am trying to sync my IPAD II with iTunes 10.
I have reorganized my calendar by renaming and deleting some calendars.
When I go to the info tab and try and select what calendar I would like to sync I get the old list of calendars from before I made my changes.
I have reset the sync services folder by using this command in a terminal window
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
and they all disappeared.
When I attempted a new sync all the old calendars showed up again.
I am doing this on my I-mac using Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Any help would be appreciated.

Found a solution form an other post.
I hade to stop the sync to my iPad to delete the calendars on it.
Then I synced again and only had the new calendars that I had in my ICal.

ISync deleted a calendar from iCal

I'm very new to the Mac world. My PC died at Thanksgiving and I'm still getting used to my new iMac. I am using iSync to sync between my new iMac and my very old Handspring Visor Prism. Things are going remarkably well except now that I have moved all my (11 years worth) calendar appts/events to the iMac, I'd like to stop storing and syncing them to the Visor, since I'm worried that it will fail if it gets too full.
My bright idea was to create a separate calendar with all events from 97-08 and then use the "home" calendar from 2009 going forward. So on my next sync, I only checked "Home" to sync so that there would be less on my Visor. Doing this, iSync successfully synchronized the Home calendar (w/my newer events), but deleted my "old" calendar from iCal. I don't understand why that happened. I thought unselecting a calendar in iSync would do the same thing as the "Do Nothing" option in HotSync (literally, don't sync, but also, don't delete!).
Is there any way to keep some events in an iCal calendar but not on your handheld device?
Thanks,
Tracy

The deletion of your unchecked iCal calendar would or should have only occurred if you first deleted the the matching calendar on your Palm device prior to the next synchronization event, and did not opt to reset the framework as described below. The appropriate 'reaction' of the Sync Services framework on your machine is to delete matching calendar event and task information in your truth database, and distribution those deletion changes to all other synchronized applications, devices and servers.
If you had simply unchecked the calendar in your drop-down iSync device configuration pane then reset the framework using the option in the iSync Preferences… dialog to do so and subsequently overwritten the contents of your Palm device—as opposed to merging data with it—your calendar would have remained in iCal but matching data would have been removed from the Palm device.
Whenever you seek to make a substantial change such as you did, you should back up your iCal and Address Book records using the built-in options in each application to do so, BEFORE you next execute a synchronization event. In that way, it's easy to 'recover' data when an unexpected result occurs.

Ical will not create new / delete old calendars

On my imac, ical will not create a new calendar (File / New Calendar) and will not delete the calendar (Edit / Delete) that is in there (a custom calendar called 'group 3' that was never used - the default calendars are not in there either).
I tried same on my ibook and it worked as expected.
Back to the imac, I delete the imac application from the applications folder, then did a custom install from my OS X 10.4 disk. Although the install completed successfully, the situation is no different.
Suggestions? thanks

Solved: Deleted all Key Chain references to the FTP address.

ICal/Calendar data deleted during sync with MM

Somehow I managed to delete the contents of nearly all my calendars last night. They're gone on all my handhelds and from my iMac - there is still a nearly-complete copy on one of my MacBooks. I shut off wifi on that computer until I can figure out a way to fix this.
Based on reading other Q&A, I believe that I have to either use the iCal Backup command for each calendar, delete the calendars in iCal on that MB, and then reimport them and sync with MM. I also thought there might be a chance that I can just back up the calendar files that are in my Library, delete the calendars in iCal on the MB and reimport. It may be possible that I could just back up the calendar files in the Library and reopen the sync to MM and see what happens - I can then force the sync to use the data that's on my computer. I'm leery of doing that last one because I don't know what will happen when I turn wifi back on to allow the sync to happen - I'm afraid that the MM contents (now nearly empty) will wipe out the iCal information on the MB.
I think this all happened because I was syncing a large amount of data from 2Do on my iPhone to MM Calendar (or so I thought) and the latest update from 2Do had reset the default sync server address to be in iCloud. I'm in the process of moving to the cloud, but so far all I've done is updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS5.1 (within the past couple of days). After that sync process went on for some time, I got a sync error from either iOS5.1 or from 2Do, and in response I chose the "revert to server" option (instead of the "use the data on my computer" or whatever it said), and by that time my MM calendar was toast. Everything was working just fine up to that moment, and I've been slowly getting ready to move to iCloud in the next day or two. This problem won't stop that if I can get the calendars restored - I have far too much information in iCal to just ignore the matter and move on.
So my question is whether or not the process outlined in paragraph 2 above is the appropriate approach to repairing this inconvenience, or if there's a better way to do it.

Greetings Mike,
Something has gone wrong in the sync process.
As you indicate your best set of data is on your MacBook I would suggest:
Make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to the desktop of the computer that still has calendars.
Go to me.com and add 1 new blank calendar
Delete all calendars but the 1 new blank calendar (this removes any potentially corrupt data being stored in MobileMe).
Turn WiFi back on on your Macbook and go to Calendars > Refresh All -- The calendars that were feeding from MobileMe should vanish as you deleted them from the server.
Go to File > New Calendar > MobileMe and create a new calendar for each of the ones you exported from iCal do your desktop.
Double-click each of the calendars you exported to the desktop one at a time and import them to the new calendar place holder you created for them in step 5. Allow each calendar to import and upload to MobileMe before you go to the next calendar (this may take some time depending on your Internet connection upload speed which is traditionally low for most consumer level ISPs.)
Side note:
Your profile here says you are running 10.6.7. I assume you have upgraded to Lion as that is required for iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
If you haven't upgraded to Lion: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 you will want to do that before MobileMe service ends in June. Keep in mind before upgrading you want to make sure all your commonly use Applications are Lion compatible and that you have a current backup of your data: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427.
Hope that helps!

HT2513 delete online calendar events from my iCal?

Does anyone know how to unsubscribe from an online calendar? I hit the iCal instead of RSS subscription button and now my iCal is filled with 2-4 identical items every day! It's on every device so it must be going through iCloud.

Hi Applepeople1,
If you suspect your calendar is on iCloud, you can login to your account at www.icloud.com.
Click on the Calendar section of the link below from the iCloud help site.
iCloud Help: Delete a calendar
Delete a calendar
When you delete a calendar from your Calendars list, all events associated with the calendar are also deleted.
You can’t delete all of the calendars in the list because the list must always must contain at least one calendar.
WARNING: Any calendar deletions you make appear on every device where you turned on iCloud Calendar. For example, if you have iCloud Calendar turned on on your iPhone and your Mac, when you delete a calendar from iCloud Calendar on the web, the calendar is also deleted from the Calendar app on your iPhone.
Delete a calendar
Click Edit in the sidebar.
Click the Delete button to the right of the calendar’s name.
Click Delete Calendar.If the calendar is shared, a window appears asking whether or not to send a notification email to calendar participants. If you choose not to notify participants via email, they’re notified the next time they sign in to iCloud that the calendar is no longer available.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!
