Delete and Archive iCal entries

Hi,
With other agenda/ToDo programs I have used, things get full and sluggish after a certain amount of entries accumulate. Typically, there is an option to delete and archive more distant entries from the past, along with ToDo items that have been checked off. These can be opened and searched separately, and I have typically archived ~ yearly.
Is there any built-in option to do this with iCal? I know there is an option to backup the database, but I thought this was mostly in case of corruption or loss of the file. If there is no built-in option, is this necessary, or will iCal operate without slowing or problems no matter how many entries I have? I prefer to have the deleted entries saved and able to be searched, to help track down distant past appointments and tasks.
As a last resort, are there any separate programs that allow this? I have been unable to find anything thus far.
Thanks in advance for any answers or advice on this matter.

I just explored the gmail site and found the Archive button but no file. I selected a message and clicked Archive, homing the Archive file would appear. No luck. Nor can I find in the phone's Mail settings that I want to delete rather than archive. One would think Apple would have a document to suggest ways of managing email. One would think.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • Process Order Deletion and Archiving process

    Hi all,
    I just want to ask what is the proper process in deleting and archiving process orders and what are the possible impacts on the other modules?
    Thanks!

    Using SARA, Archiving object is PR_ORDER or t-code COAC.  Follow the step pre-process, write archive file, and delete from database.
    I don't recall any prerequisite for archiving process orders.   However, costing guys/girls often yelled to keep process orders for a very long while so you might want to check with their requirement (Note that archiving is more business-oriented than you think).
    Before you can do so, you must follow the steps of process order life cycle (from create, release, tech.comp., close, deletion flag, deletion indicator, accordingly).
    For deletion flag, and deletion indicator, you can set via COAC t-code.  There is a set up for period lapse between deletion flag to deletion indicator to archive in order type configuration (residence time 1, 2).  Process order, for example,  must reside in database for 1 month after deletion flag and another 1 month after deletion indicator before you can archive them out if you set residence time 1,2 to 1.
    Hope it helps.

  • ITunes deleted all my iCal entries on syncing

    Turned on syncing for iCal and with no prompting or nag asking "Do you really want to do this?" it promptly wiped out all my iCal entries on my iPhone.
    How exactly is this user-friendly?????
    What happened to the concept of do no harm?
    Since when did sync mean delete?
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Did you have any entries in iCal on your Mac? If so, you would have been prompted to Merge the data, unless you have very few calendar entries - the default is a prompt is more than 5% of the data will be changed. But, if iCal was empty, events on the iPhone are simply deleted. Even one event would have been enough. Next time, you know.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • SPL record deletion and archival in GTS

    Hi,
    We are planning to delete and load new SPL master data. When we try to use the archiving object SPL_MD , it does not archive and delete all SPL masters. It only archives if the SPL master is marked for deletion. I know we can manually flag a sanction party master record for deleion using transaction /SAPSLL/SPL_MD02. But is there a transaction to flag them for deletion in Mass? Or is there a way to direcly archive and delete them without flagging for deletion?
    Regards
    Satya

    Hi,
    Here is the answer I was given when asking the same question: Guess that will help you.
    If I understand the question correctly, you will have to archive the old SPL Master Data using the SPL_MD archiving object. This archiving object will allow you to create an archive of your current SPL Master Data (e.g. flat file) and then allow you to delete all data from the /SAPSLL/TSPL, /SAPSLL/TSPLA and /SAPSLL/TSPLN tables -- these tables are part of the SPL_MD archiving object. Once you have archived and deleted the prior SPL Master Data, you ought to be able to load the new SPL Master Data without any problems.
    This method of course has pitfalls. If you're upgrading your SPL Master Data from the non-extended XML data to the extended XML data of the SPL entities, your audit trails will lose some details (e.g. which SPL entity matched on a specific business partner). Another pitfall is the amount of time it takes to rescreen all of the business partners against the new SPL Master Data. You may also encounter a large amount of blocked business partners as a result. My advice is to definitely test in a non-production environment.
    Cheers

  • Deleting and Publishing ical Calendar with AppleScript

    I have a question I hope somebody can help me with.
    Thanks to a previous manager, we're stuck with Microsoft Project for our product release scheduled management. It has no capability for exporting the information into an iCal format for publication on our web dav server (so that sales reps, programmers, and techs can view it). I've made a BBEdit script that can take a tab delimited export of the crucial information from Project and make it into an importable iCal file.
    I'd like to find a way to delete the old iCal calendar, import the replacement and publish it using the same script. Unfortunately my Applescript skills are minimal; the BBEdit recorder has made it so easy to do most of what I need that I haven't had to learn all the rules for making a script.
    If anyone knows if this can be done, and how, and could help, I'd really appreciate it.

    Alf,
    I don't see a list of available calendars, so I think one needs the name of the calendar to access it. Is this correct?
    You are partially correct, the only protection that you have in this case is the fact that anyone who wishes to access a specific published calendar has to either know or guess the username/calendar_name combination.
    According to Apple: If your iCal calendars contain private or confidential information, you should not publish them on .Mac. Anyone who knows your calendar's URL can subscribe to it using iCal or view it using a web browser.
    In order to prevent unauthorized access Publishing a password-protected iCal calendar to iDisk, offers a viable secure alternative.

  • Accessing purged and archived calendar entries

    I've been using Palm Calendar since 2003 (Palm Vx, Palm m500, Treo 680), but have never purged.
    Now that I've got +32,000 entries, the sync takes too long and the phone takes more than a minute to respond if I select any calendar entry.
    So I think I'll need to purge. My questions are:
    1. How can purged and archived entries be accessed? Would that be the DateBook.dba file?
    2. Does each successive archived purge add entries to the same file or do them overwrite the previous file with only the most recently purged items?
    I'm sorry if the answers to these questions have already been posted, but I couldn't find them in any thread.
    Thanks,
    Max

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Just found out the answers using Palm's Live Support:
    Max Brenner says: I'd like to know how to read purged items
    Tom says: You can open it from PalmDesktop. It will be saved as archive. You can open the archive file.
    Max Brenner says: file/open archive/DateBook.dba?
    Tom says: Yes. You are right.
    Max Brenner says: Then what happens with this file the next time I purge again after a few months?
    Tom says: It will be saved in that dba file.
    Max Brenner says: but will previously archived files remain there too? Or will they be overwritten?
    Tom says:  It will be overwritten that information.
    Max Brenner says: So I'll want to back it up first. Is it possible to merge the content of 2 dba files?
    Tom says: Yes, You can do it by importing 2 dba files. Then export the entire information to a dba file.
    Max Brenner says: Last question. Is there a limit of how many entries Palm Desktop can handle on my Treo 680?
    Tom says: There is no limit until the memory gets full.
    Max Brenner says: Ok. Thank you so much, Tom!
    Tom says: You are most welcome!

  • Display ALL "future" entries and archive "past" entries

    Is it possible to display ALL blog entries with a date that will happen in the future (today, and after today and as many as there are, not just 5), and place any blog entries from the past (anything dated yesterday and before) in the archive?
    I have too many blog entries regarding items coming up in the future. If I have 8 future items listed, people can only see the 5 that are the farthest into the future - weeks and months from now. They can't the the ones that are two weeks from now, or two days from now without going into the archive - and that's just weird, archiving items that haven't even happened yet. I think Stephen Hawking would take issue with that.
    So the simple solution is simply increasing the number of blog entires shown (to like a dozen or so), the better solution is archive the past items, show the future items. I'll settle for either one at this point.
    If you can tell me how to do either, you will have made a lot of people's day.
    Here's a link to the page if that helps:
    http://www.troop29marietta.org/Troop29marietta/News/News.html
    Thanks.

    So, while I will concede the point that perhaps my desire to have iWeb recognize dates in the future and dates in the past when compared with the current date it has in its brain and treat the archive accordingly, you have to agree the setting of "5" displayed entries is simply a setting that has nothing to do with the conceptions of blogging. Surely there is someway of telling iWeb to display 8 or 12 entries instead of 5. I'll gladly settle for that.
    you can set iweb to display up to 50 blog summary entries.
    Inspector --> RSS --> Blog pane --> change value of 'Number of excerpts to show'
    iweb blog summary/archive entries have date string so you need javascript to compare that to today date.
    to display entries with dates in the future just simply hide any entries with dates in the past.
    and to display entries with dates in the past just simply hide any entries with dates in the future.
    here my example:
    http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/CustomBlog_Display/Some_Blog/SomeBlog.html
    there are 3 entries in the future, 1 entry for today and 3 entries in the past, you can see all 7 in the rss.xml feed, my javascript hides them accordingly.
    you can get the code here:

  • Using delete and FOR ALL ENTRIES

    Hi,
    We have a error message regarding the following code :
    Delete FROM TABLE FOR ALL ENTRIES IN lt_TABLE WHERE
    TABLE_KEY1  = LT_TABLE_KEY1
    Could we use the For All entries with "Select" ?
    For information, the error message is "Unable to interpret "FOR". Possible causes: Incorrect spelling or comma error.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Check the below syntax, if you want to delete from database
    DELETE FROM sflight
    WHERE  carrid = p_carrid AND
           fldate = sy-datum AND
           seatsocc = 0.
    Just a suggestion. May be from next time you can use F1 help for syntax:
    1. Place the cursor on the delete keword in your program and press F1 - You willl get all the possible syntax for delete statement
    2. Else open the transaction ABAPDOCU, Click Keyword Help, Enter the required keyword(delete in this case) and press cont.. You will get the syntax.
    Hope thsi will help you.

    I recently bought Nokia X2 which disappoints me a lot.
    There are 500 messages in my INBOX and i want to delete 400 messages but there is no mark option to select multiple messages.
    I want to save another 100 messages in ARCHIVE folder. Each time I have to go through the options INBOX /OPTIONS /ARCHIVE which is very irritating. Moreover there is no folder creation in messages ARCHIVE folder, which is big disappointment.
    Battery charging to taking tooooo much time and draining in very very short time in normal use(1.30-2h talk time+30min music+20-30 messages my battery goes to single point).
    Solved!

    then select by msg or by folder........choose the folder or msg you want to delete

    Hi,
    Thnaks for the information. It not only deletes from the SXMSPMAST , it also deletes from SXMSCLUR table. I can observe the there is  a exaxt decrease in number of these records which tallys with the output of the report "xxx no of messages deleted".
    But when i see in SXMB_MONI i can see all the messages. So what is it deleting exactly ....
    The messages disappear in SXMB_MONI only when the archive/delete job runs in server.

  • Delete and Archive

    On Verizon iPhone 4: When emails are opened, five small icons appear at the bottom of the screen. For some emails, that icon is Trash; for some, it is Archive. (1) How come? (2) If Archive is clicked, the email goes somewhere. Where? (3) To the left of the Archive icon is a "File it" icon. When it is clicked, the phone wants to know where to put it. If I put it in a Trash, that should get rid of it. No?    Thanks
