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.

TS1906 How do I delete a calendar in iCal?

I no longer own a Mac 4G tower as the product info suggests but am using and iMac with Lion. I can't seem to delete unneeded calendars and can't print a birthday calendar with only birthday info including. I am becomimg increasingly frustrated with the limitations of this calendar. I have used a Palm Pilot calendar for a good many years and I think Apple can do better than Palm.

I have the same issue. I have even deleted my icloud account, deleted the calendar from my ipad, created a new icloud calendar and seconds later the deleted calendar is back.
Really, it is not possible to delete a calendar from your iPad?

Deleting excess calendars from iCal - Please Help

I have a MacBook Air with OSX 10.9.2 and Calendar Version 7.0 (1841), which I sync with Google calendar. I have multiple calendars including a ZipCar calendar and two U.S. holiday calendars. How do I delete these excess calendars? When I hit Edit, the Delete option is grayed out and not usable. Thanks - Pete

Hi,
Do it through google.com/calendar . You cannot delete Google Calendar calendars with OSX Calendar.

HT4901 I accidently deleted a calendar in ical on my iphone5. How do I retrieve the calendar and all its past/present/future events?

I am afraid to open ical on my iphone because I'm now in the vicinity of my Mac and I don't want all the events to delete from it. Can anyone help me to retrieve the unintentional deleted calendar on my iphone?

About your only option would be to try to recover it from your iCloud backup. There's a user tip here on how to recover contacts from an iCloud backup: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841. Just substitute calendar for contacts and the process would be the same. The key for this being successful is to disconnect your router from the internet (step 4), allowing you to turn off calendar syncing with iCloud and keep the calendar on your iPhone before it is overwritten by the iCloud calendar.
If you have any other calendars on your Mac be sure to back them up before trying this using File>Export>Export.

Find and delete subscribed calendar in iCal

I downloaded a calendar, and inadvertently put it in with birthdays and holidays. Now I can't find it. I keep getting an error message, every time I open iCal:
"The server responded with an error. Access to “Sun enters Aries” in “Birthdays, Anniversaries” in account “[email protected]” is not permitted. The server responded:
“HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden”
to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation."
There are then 2 choices:"Go Offline" or "Revert to Server"
How can I remove this calendar?

Deleting Calendars in iCal 5

How do I permanently delete a calendar in iCal 5?
After clicking on the 'Calendars' button on the top left corner of the main iCal window, a list of all my calendars pops up from which I can toggle each calendar's visibility, but I can't find a way of permanently remove them.
Thanks in advance,
HS Mariano

Thats great, I'll keep the calendar but how do i get this error to stop popping up ever few minutes.

How to delete a calendar on the iphone ???

When the mobile me services were upgraded a few days ago, the calendar imported from entourage and synced to the iphone via iCal was suddenly duplicated.
syncing works just fine, but it is impossible to get rid of the old calendar on the iPhone. even deleting all calendars from iCal and then syncing via mobileMe cannot remove this calendar. it has gone from the local iCal and from mobileMe but it still is there on the iPhone.
As I said-syncing the iPhone with the empty mobileMe does NOT remove the calendar. How can I get rid of it ?

I finally worked this out. My situation had old calendars that used to be synced in combination with switching to a different Mobile Me account.
Bottom line is that once a calendar is created locally on your iPhone for whatever reason, there is no way to delete it. You can only reconfigure the set of calendars, but how to do that can be a can't-get-there-from-here-in-this-state problem.
Here is a step by step of what I had to do to restore sanity:
This assumes there is no calendar information that lives only on your iPhone that you want to keep.
On your iPhone, in Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, find your Mobile Me account, turn off "Calendars". Exit the settings application (hit the button to go back to the home screen), or the next sync will fail.
Temporarily create a calendar in iCal called "Apple FAIL" or something. In iTunes under your phone->Info, "Sync iCal calendars", select just that calendar (unchecking the option to sync iCal calendars won't clear out the stranded ones).
Under "Advanced" on the same screen (you might have to scroll down to see it), check "Calendar" under "Replace information on this iPhone"
Sync.
On iTunes, uncheck "Sync iCal calendars"
Sync.
On your Mac, delete the temporary "Apple FAIL" calendar you created
If you are using Mobile Me:
On your iPhone, go back to Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, find your Mobile Me account, turn "Calendars" back on.
Otherwise:
In iTunes, select the iCal calendars you want and re-sync
Soapbox:
Apple is normally good at solving complex issues with an intuitive user interface and a convenient workflow. This situation is a fail on both accounts.
What lead to this situation for me is I wanted to see subscribed calendars on my iPhone in addition to using Mobile Me. Syncing a subscribed calendar in iCal from my Mac won't actually set it up on my iPhone as a subscribed calendar, so that calendar on my iPhone is only as up-to-date as my iCal version of it was as of the last time I synced, which then will only be as up-to-date as the last time I ran iCal and synced it. Instead, I have to manually subscribe to the calendars on my iPhone by either emailing myself the webcal: links or typing them into Safari on my iPhone. Managing subscribed calendars both on my iPhone and iCal is a giant PITA.

Overriding iPhone calendar into iCal

How do I override calender synching between my iPhone and desktop Mac iCal so that the calendars on my iPhone replace those in iCal?
It seems as part of the MobileMe debacle, my desktop iCal calendars are messed up with alot of erroneous entries. Those on my iPhone (original version, sw 2.0) remain correct. When I try to sync thru iTunes, the erroneous iCal entries are added to my iPhone - and if I delete the calendar in iCal and sync, it erases that calendar on my iPhone.
I can get the calendar back by restoring from backup on my iPhone, but I can't seem to figure out how to make the iPhone data override iCal - like the good ol' days with a Palm when you could direct the hotsync conduits.
Any thoughts?

Turn off calendar sharing in settings > iCloud, you will be prompted to keep your calendars on your phone when you do so. You can then turn calendar sharing on, when you do so you will be prompted to merge your calendars.

Restart your Mac.

Deleting old calendar events

Is there any way to delete old events from the calendar, eg. from 2007 back for instance? This includes iphone, mobileme and home computers.

Depends entirely on the calendar app you're using. On the iPhone, no. But, if you are syncing via iTunes, there's a checkbox to eliminate syncing of events older than a certain number of days. Outlook (Windows) has an archiving tool which can delete old calendar events. iCal (Mac) does not.

Delete a calendar without deleting past events? (iCal 5.0.3)

Hi,
Is there a way I can delete one of my calendars on iCal without losing all the past events? Right now, if I just delte it I get a warning that all event in that sequence will be gone.
Thank you

Actually, I've figured it out. In order not to lose the past events in a calendar I can export the whole calendar. Delete it, then Import it into a calendar that I don't want to delete. This way all the past events will remain.

How do I permanently delete calendars in ical?

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.
