Delete all calendars from iPhone?

My wife got a hand-me-down iPhone 3G from her brother. It has all of his calendars in it. Can we remove these calendars without having to sync it with something like Outlook? She connects this to an XP machine, not my Mac. She just wants to obliterate the calendars on there.

Okay. You said "sync to a computer with an empty calendar". This is confusing to me because her machine has no calendar on it anyway. Outlook's calendar is empty.
Then choose outlook to sync from and the option to overwrite on the phone once.
If we restore her phone and then sync it with iTunes, it will put all of her music and apps and whatnot back, correct?
No, music will not be transfered, unless you bought via iTunes. The only way arround this would be using 3rd party software like http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy (not supported by Apple)
Disable autosync in itunes and back up manually by right clicking on your iphone in the device list. Transfer your purchases the same way, this will copy your apps and other bought media content.
To sync the apps you'll have to use the same account in itunes as you used buying them. Authorize your computer as well.
All media content will be erased during the first sync. Get your data back by restoring from your backup after you synced.

Copy your itunes library to your new computer and restore it again. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382 or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT175
I hope this wasn't to confusing

Delete all calendars from an iCloud account

Hi  Support Communities,
did anyone find a way to delete all calendars from an iCloud account? It seems that iCloud wants to keep at least one calendar. We use several accounts and one is only used to look at shared calendars from other accounts. So there is no need for its own empty calendar. On iOS I just hid this calendar, but on OS X it is always visible. I unchecked it, but it would be nice if I could just delete it. If I do so on an iOS device it is gone, but reappears later. Trying to delete it on a Mac results in an error that it can’t be deleted, same goes for the web interface at icloud.com. It’s just a cosmetic issue, but I would prefer it to be gone altogether. Any ideas?
Thanks
Björn

I had hoped I was wrong, you never know. Well, thanks anyway!

Delete All Calendars from iPad?

Simple question; hopefully a simple solution.
I want to delete all calendars from my iPad2, so that I can then copy the calendars from my Mac onto it?
I want all of the data deleted from my iPad, and don't want it to show back up again.
Like I said, it should have a simple solution.
Thanks!
Jon
iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3 14 GB
MacBook Pro, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Mac OS X 10.6.8

Does this help you:

Repeat the same procedure for all calendars.
If the calendars came in via an Exchange account, you can remove the calendar syncing by editing the exchange account (settings -> mail, contacts and calendar -> accounts) and switch "calendar" in this (http://blog.fosketts.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Exchange-Account-MCC.png) dialog to off.

Songs won't play after I deleted all music from iPhone once

Hi,
I'm using iTunes Match on my iPhone and think it's cool but I have a problem: When I used iTunes Match for some time, it had downloaded lost of music to the phone and the phones drive was full. I then deleted all music from the phone (via Settings -> General -> Usage). The problem is that the songs still appear as being on the phone but I can't play them anymore. Also I cannot download them from the cloud again as they appear as still being on the device.
Has anyone experienced that as well?
Marco

What kind of network are you one when you try to download the songs again? Wi Fi or 3G? From your description it sounds like 3G, and by default being able to download over those networks is disabled. To enable it go to Settings > Store and set "use cellular data" to ON.
Also, even though you delete the actual files from your iPhone you will see the track as being available. All tracks not stored locally on your iDevice will have a cloud icon next to them. To see just the tracks that are stored locally go to Settings > Music and set "show all music" to OFF.

How to delete all calendars from icloud?

So I decided it was finally time to try out iCloud, and immediately regretted this decision when my iCal, Safari bookmarks and Address Book all got messed up in different ways. I've managed to fix all these issues (by signing out of iCloud on all my devices and restoring my bookmarks and address book from backups) and I've deleted all old backups from iCloud so it's now showing 5GB of 5GB as free. And yet, when I went to icloud.com I could still see the calendars and contacts that were there before. I've deleted all the contacts, and all the calendars but one, but when I got to the last calendar and tried to delete it I got the following message : "you need to have at least one calendar that you own. To delete this calendar, create a new one."
The best part is, even if I create a new calendar there I still get that message when I try to delete the other one. Is it too much to want to simply delete everything off my iCloud? This entire process has been beyond frustrating. Any help would be much appreciated.

Look like you have duplicate calendars. Find the name of the calendar on your iPhone and the color of the event labels. Then look at your computer. Find the one with the different label/name/color. You can delete that calendar.

How to delete a calendar from iPhone?

I sync my iPhone with Outlook 2003 vis USB cable and iTunes. Recently I imported a second temporary calendar into Outlook via a .pst file. This created a second calendar folder in Outlook which then synced with my phone. I deleted the second tempory calendar folder from Outlook, but this action did not delete it from my iPhone. How can I remove the second calendar from my iPhone?

This did not work exactly as described on my system. I tried disabling calendar sync by unchecking the box under calendars on the itunes info tab page. When i synced i did not get the message described by tokatta. Both calendars still show in itunes in the box labed selected calendars. Nothing disappeared from my iphone or outlook.
I then repeated the procedure but first clicked on reset sync history in itunes. Then I unchecked the sync calendars box. This did remove the listing of the two calendars in itunes. i then synced but still no message or any affect on either itunes or outlook. i then rechecked the sync calendars box, reset sync history and under advanced marked for the computer to overwrite the iphone. same result. 2nd calendar was not removed and both now are showing in itunes again.
is it possible i have a second calendar lurking somewhere in Outlook and i cannot see it in the outlook navigation pane?
gremlins!
it is also interesting that if i check selected calendars in itunes and try to select only one of the two in the list, itunes will sync both anyway ... on clicking apply, itunes either reverts to syncing all calendars or stays on selected calendars but re-checks both boxes automatically. i cannot sync just one.
is this a clue re what's happening?

Deleting all images from iPhone (ios 6.1.4)

I am currently trying to delete all the images from my phone to clear space for other applications.
(Transferring them to my computer was an excruciating process and actually forced me to purchase an external program, but I digress.)
I can't delete photos at all in the iPhone photos app. Going edit > select photo > delete causes the Photos app to crash every time. This happens whether I have selected one or more than one photos. I have restarted the app (double tap home button and delete the app from the fold-up menu) several times, but the problem recurs when I try again. In any case, I have over 37,000 photos so this would be a horribly inefficient way to do it.
Key things to note
1) I only have Windows 7 on my PC. Therefore, I cannot use any mac related programs like iPhoto to mass delete images.
2) Windows explorer is unable to consistently recognize my iPhone. I have gone into device manager many times and reinstalled the driver, and attempted other fixes I found off of Google, but alas for past several months I have not been able to get it to recognize the iPhone as a camera or as anything at all. As of recent weeks, the iPhone does not even show up in the list of external devices plugged into the computer regardless of driver reinstallation, and only my external HDD appears.
3) Back in the past when the Autoplay window did show up, there was never an option to import pictures and videos- furthermore, selecting the sole 'open device to view files' simply showed me a series of blank folders in my iPhone.
At that time, I already had had my settings set to show hidden files and folders, so I was mystified that windows explorer insisted no files were present in the folders when there were quite obviously photos on my phone.
I am unable to import photos using windows explorer. As such, this fix cannot be used: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
I am very disappointed at how nonfunctional the interaction between Windows and Apple devices has become. In the past, I was able to import pictures from my iphone 4S this same PC using windows explorer's autoplay popup, and it is sad that this is unsupported with the iPhone 5.
4) iTunes, which is on the same computer, does recognize the iPhone. I can sync perfectly fine.
5) Very few of the images have been imported from my computer. Most of them were taken or saved on the phone itself, so removing sync of photos from the sync process doesn't do anything.
6) There are no photos on Photo Stream or Photo Library, because I only recently found out about these features (1-2 days ago researching solutions). All 37,000+ photos are in Camera roll. This means that I cannot turn off Photo stream and have the pictures disappear like in this fix. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5099543?start=0&tstart=0
Given all of this information and my limitation in options, how do I delete all of the images on my phone efficiently?

Incidentally, restoring the phone to factory settings is not a viable solution because I have a lot of apps, notes and other material which I do not wish to lose and would not be stored in a backup.

In looking at my calendar for January, I found all the entries from last year. I thought I would delete the while month and start over, but it deleted all calendars from icloud. Can I get them restored and how. Stoormy

In looking at my calendar for next year I found all the entries from last year were there as well as a few more I intended to delete January and just start over but everything was deleted including from icloud, Any way I can get those restored.
Thanks Glenn

I cannot remove songs that downloaded to my iphone 5 from cloud off my iphone, i deleted all music from iphone but they still remain

I upgraded to a iphone 5 and transferred my music to my new phone. Apparently what i think is happening is that my purchased music is automatically downloading to my iphone and I do not want this. I have checked manually manage music etc on itunes and turned off music from icloud on my phone so I think im ok there. My problem that I am having is that I cannot get rid of the music it already downloaded from the cloud. Please help I just want this off my phone.

I have the same problem. I have 21 songs that cannot be deleted. I have tried to delete them from my phone using itunes. I have deleted them from my itunes library completely and when I sync the phone they just keep coming back. The phone shows the cloud symbol to the right of the song title. When you touch the symbol a circle with a square in the centre represents loading the song. When that is complete I try to swipe form right to left and a delete button appears. Great! but when you touch it the song remains and the cloud symbol has returned. I have even tried a master reset on my phone to no avail. I do not have itunes Match and when I log into the cloud there is no where I can see where these songs are stored. My fifteen year old daughter has spent 4 hrs trying to figure this out and she gave up! HELP PLEASE! The songs are an album my daughter purchased from the itunes store using my ID and although she loves them on her ipod I can't stand them and can't get them off my phone. I don't even know how they got there in the first place. Arrrrgh!

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!
Mark

Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

I have an imap account and deleted all mail from server. Once doing this all emails from my iPad -which was on a wi-fi- where automatically deleted. Fortunately these emails are still visible on my iPhone that was without connection. If I send all these emails to my iCloud account - they will remain into my outgoing folder until I open my wi-fi- …BUT will they be sent when I open my wi-fi connection, or since they are no longer on my server… be deleted for ever!?

This is how IMAP works, if you delete from one device it will also be deleted in the other devices.
iCloud do not backup e-mails.

I have deleted all photos from my iphone and the usage is still showing 6.6GB used. How do I fix this?

I have deleted all photos from my iphone and the usage is still showing 6.6GB used. I have connected via my computer and no pictures are shown. I have also gone into all my photo apps and no photos are saved. How do I resolved this?

If you deleted photos from the Camra Roll of the photos app they are not deleted immediately. Instead they are moved to the Recently Deleted album where they will remain for 30 days. This feature was added because so many people deleted photos then wanted then back.
To completely delete those photos quickly go to the Recently Deleted album and delete them from there.

ITunes deletes all music from CDs from my iPhone

I recently purchased a new iPhone 6. I transferred all my apps, photos, music etc to the new phone and everything appeared fine. However every time I sync the phone with iTunes all of my music that was not purchased through iTunes (e.g. CDs that I imported into iTunes) gets deleted from my phone. However it does not show up as deleted until I try to play it, at which point my phone skips through all the songs showing a red square next to them. I have iTunes set up to sync my entire music library. The only way I know how to get all the songs back is to delete all music from the phone each time I sync with iTunes and let iTunes copy everything back to my phone (and avoid syncing with my PC unless I really have to). Once re-synced everything is fine until I sync the phone with iTunes again at which point all my music other than iTunes purchases are removed from my phone.

I have had the same problem for two months and have tried many different suggestions with no luck. Have you been given any answers from apple?
